Members Present: H. Riehle, Chair; M. Emery, T. Barritt, T. Chittenden Also Present: K. Dorn, City Manager; T. Hubbard, Deputy City Manager; A. Bolduc, City Attorney; P. Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning; M. Ostby, Planning Commission; M. Leugers, H. Baker, Recreation Committee; J. Murray, Community Librarian; B. Milizia, M. Mittag, C. Schultz, T. Myer, C.

Instructions on exiting building in case of emergency: Mr. Dorn provided instructions on emergency evacuation of the building. 2. Agenda Review: Additions, deletions or changes in order of agenda items: Ms. Emery asked to add to Other Business discussion on the mental health initiative, and a possible planning session with the public regarding prioritizing initiatives. She also noted that with regard to item #10, in order to reopen a policy decision, according to Roberts Rules it has to be one of the members who voted in favor of the item who puts it back on an agenda. Ms. Riehle said the reason it is on the agenda is not reopen the dog park, it is a question of taking the gates off to open that part of the park to the public again. 3. Possible Executive Session to discuss legal issues related to current and proposed restrictions on land use at the Wheeler Nature Park as well as a potential purchase of property utilizing funds from the City’s Open Space Fund: Mr. Barritt moved that the Council enter executive session to discuss legal issues related to restrictions on land use at Wheeler Nature Park and potential purchase of property utilizing funds from the Open Space fund and to include the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, Director of Planning & Zoning, and Attorney David Ruhe in the session. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Members entered executive session at 6:44 p.m. and resumed regular session at 7:36 p.m. Ms. Riehle then advised that there will be 2 separate executive session meetings with two committees, one on 2 April with Wheeler Park Easement Committee and the other on 28 March during the regular meeting regarding the Auclair property. There will probably be no action taken following those meetings. 4. (previously Item #6): Public Hearing: Second Reading of and possible adoption of amendments to the City’s Public Nuisance Ordinance: Mr. Bolduc explained the changes made following the first hearing on the amendments. Restrictions on trash haulers were removed from the Ordinance. It was noted that comment was received from a member of the public regarding people who work nights and are disturbed in the mornings by dogs barking uncontrollably. This is covered under dog/cat regulations, not by this ordinance. Mr. Barritt noted that the majority of people who contacted him wanted the trash collection hours to begin at 7 a.m. Ms. Emery moved to open the public hearing. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Mr. Schultz said he understood the trash people wanting to get work done early. This is not bad in winter when windows are closed, but there should at least be quiet when windows are open in warmer weather. He also noted that sometimes haulers are there before 6 a.m. Mr. Myer said he supports 7 a.m. for trash haulers. He said he has been awakened at 4:30 a.m. by the haulers. With the windows open, he can hear dumpsters from properties half a mile away. Mr. Chittenden said the city is “out of step,” and needs a consolidated service. He suggested getting haulers to the table to deal with larger issues and possibilities. This would eliminate having 5 different haulers going down one street. Mr. Barritt noted that haulers said they base their collection hours on the closing of the transfer station at 4 p.m. Ms. Riehle noted that one of the haulers runs the transfer station and suggested the closing hour could be changed. Mr. Schultz felt the police should be ticketing haulers who are violating the collection hours. Ms. Diblasio said she is confused as to why more noise from dogs is being allowed during the day. She is a nearby business owner, and the incessant barking of dogs disrupts her workplace. They are 270 feet from the source, and it is still very loud and disruptive. She felt they shouldn’t have to “go through hoops” to get this addressed. She questioned why there is an exemption for a “permitted use.” Mr. Senecal, who owns the property between the 2 properties in question, said the fence built by the dog care business is not protecting anything. He is hesitant to put up a building on his land because it is so close to the dog care place. Mr. Dousevicz, developer of Rye Circle, said the dog care place impacts the marketability of the housing project he is building nearby. He has complained to police and animal control people, but nothing happens. He felt the Ordinance needs “more teeth.” Police feel their hands are tied. Ms. Lee, whose nearby office faces north, said she can’t have windows open, and they hear the dogs even in winter with the windows closed. Ms. Ostby suggested a time schedule when the dogs could be let out for a while. Mr. Bolduc noted that the intent was when it came to uses to put regulations under Planning & Zoning. Under the performance standards, Mr. Belair is currently investigating the situation. Mr. Bolduc read the passage from “performance standards.” Ms. Milizia noted she is on the committee looking at Dog Park options. She noted there are no codes as to how many dogs can be outside at once. She also noted there are several “dog businesses” in the city. Ms. Emery then moved to close the public hearing. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Ms. Emery moved to rewarn this item for a second reading on 16 April 2018, 7:30 p.m. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 5. (formerly #9): Public Hearing on possible amendments to the Land Development Regulations: a. Establish housing preservation and replacement standards in certain zoning districts b. Modify the City Center Form Based Code, including building placement standards; buffer strip requirements; prohibited exterior materials and replacement of existing siding; open space and landscaping; accessory structures; and building envelope standards in the T3/T3+, T4, and T5 districts c. Modifications to height standards in the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Auto Districts and removal of minor rooftop apparatus from height requirements in all districts d. Establishment of an Urban Design Overlay District within portions of the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Audo Districts e. Modifications to Bicycle Parking standards f. Minor Technical corrections Ms. Emery moved to open the public hearing. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Ms. Ostby provided an overview of the proposed amendments as follows: The housing preservation amendment requires that for each dwelling removed, a comparable unit must replace it or there must be a financial contribution. The developer can build on the same parcel, build on a separate parcel or contribute to the Housing Trust Fund. Ms. Emery said her main concern was that single-family homes could be replaced by multi-family buildings and that multi-family buildings are less attractive to families with children. She also noted that land values are different in different parts of the city. She suggested that those who chose the financial contribution option would pay the difference in land value. She also felt that if a multi-unit building was taken down, a portion of new homes built should be single-family homes. Ms. Ostby noted that the Planning Commission is scheduled to have a discussion regarding “cottage housing,” etc. Mr. Conner said that certain zoning districts are exempt from this amendment, specifically those which do not currently permit housing but where a few houses still exist. He stressed that the Airport neighborhood is not exempt with the exception of the 39 homes from the 2016 agreements plus 4 homes that have been in of the eligibility areas but whose owners have not yet chosen to sell. Ms. Riehle asked if there is language to prevent another Airport buyout. Mr. Conner said the language names the specific grants and exempted properties. Ms. Emery said she could foresee that when the F-35s arrive the Council will have its hands full with people wanting buyouts. Mr. Barritt asked if this would have affected the Larkin apartments being torn down. Mr. Conner said that was technically an “extended stay hotel” and would not have been affected; however, 61 units are being built to replace the 60 units from that building which would meet the standard if it had applied. Mr. Barritt asked if this amendment is enforceable with the FAA buyout program. Mr. Bolduc said it is. Mr. Chittenden felt this makes sense and that the Airport could come up with the money if it wants to take down homes. Mr. Simson, Chair of the Affordable Housing Committee, said a similar regulation has been in force in Burlington for a long time and it has discouraged tearing down housing. He said the Committee tried to draft an ordinance that would be fair to homeowners and to the city. He said the hope is that in the future there will be enough money to actually building some housing, including single family homes. Mr. Conner noted there are some properties in mixed use neighborhoods that could have housing in some buildings. In addition, some housing could come down so an adjacent house could have a larger yard. Someone could also buy a house to remove it so their existing house would have a better view. Mr. Leas spoke against any exemptions. He felt it was hard to resist people asking for their homes to be bought out. He said the Airport has put 1000 homes in a terrible noise zone. Were they to be taken down, the money from those homes would give the Housing Trust Fund $2,600,000. He said that if South Burlington doesn’t get that money, it would be like writing a check to Burlington to $2,600,000. He also noted that Burlington and the Airport not only took down the houses, they got the land. Ms. Riehle noted most of the 39 homes have been purchased already. She questioned whether the city could now go back and say “you owe us.” Mr. Bolduc said there could a risk if they are not exempted. Mr. Chittenden asked if there is an appeal process in the regulation. Mr. Conner said that would put the DRB in a very difficult position. There is no specific appeal process other than the appeal of the permit. Ms. Ostby added that the exemptions were put in to avoid problems for people whose homes are to be bought. Ms. Riehle suggested getting a legal opinion on eliminating the exemptions for Airport properties vs. keeping them in. With regard to the other amendments, Ms. Riehle asked why stucco is not an acceptable building material. Mr. Conner noted that is not new. What is new is that it would not be allowed on any side of the building not only the street side. This applies only to the Form Based Code District, and it was felt that stucco could lead to “bad design.” It is OK elsewhere in the city. Ms. Ostby then explained the issue of 5’ vs. 8’ setbacks. The original rule was 8 feet with a buffer. The developer of the Market St. homes was concerned with the 8 feet because it could impact the porches. Mr. Conner noted that the homes already built have a 5-foot setback/buffer. Staff has been working with that property owner to see what solutions exist. Members agreed to continue the entire package of amendments to the next meeting. Mr. Chittenden moved to continue the LDR amendments to 2 April 2018 at 8:00 p.m. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 6. (formerly #7): Library Grant Application: Ms. Murray said the intent is to apply for a federal grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The grant is for “infrastructure to support the humanities.” Ms. Murray noted that a lot of their programs meet that qualification and would continue to do that. The grant is for $400,000 and requires a 3-to-1 match which Ms. Murray felt they could meet. The grant is also specifically for “capital costs.” Mr. Chittenden moved to support the Library Grant Application as presented. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 7. (formerly #8): Consent Agenda: a. Sign Disbursements b. Approve Minutes for 20 February, 5 March and 7 March c. Approve & Authorize Council Chair to Execute Quitclaim Deed for Conveyance of City “Lease Land” Interest at A1 Stonehedge Drive d. Approve Chittenden County MS4 Stormwater Program Agreement Amendments e. Approve Hadley/Proctor Neighborhood Sewer Project State Revolving Loan Application – Construction Phase Question arose with regard to item D and members agreed to remove it from the Consent Agenda to get more information from the Stormwater Superintendent. Ms. Emery moved to approve Consent Agenda items a, b, c, and e as presented. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 8. (formerly #4): Comments & Questions from the public not related to agenda items: No issues were raised. 9. (formerly #12 Presentation on Underwood Plan: Ms. Baker reviewed the history of the purchase of the Underwood property and the creation of a task force and Master Planning group. She then introduced the consultants who have worked on the planning process. Mr. Pollack-Bruce reviewed the public process they employed and noted that the major program elements the public wanted were: a. Low-key development b. Focus on the natural c. Sustainability d. Multi-generational e. Low-impact development The three major themes were: a. Agriculture b. Natural resources c. Recreation Guiding principles included: a. Food production b. Gateway to recreation c. Connection to the rec path system d. A primary structure e. Diversity of trail forms Mr. Pollack-Bruce showed a map of where these uses could be located and also photos of the views from the site. He noted that the site has every layer of protection the city can provide. Mr. Pollack-Bruce then reviewed in more detail the program elements: a. Community agriculture, including raised beds/community gardens, traditional community garden plots, a wildflower garden, support facilities b. Passive Recreation, including walking paths, picnic tables, a shade structure, seating for sunset viewing c. Active Recreation, including non-programmed field space, a natural play-ground, treehouse, pump track d. Event Facility, including uses for a kids’ camp, classes, concerts, private events (e.g., weddings, family reunions), lawn and outdoor terrace/patio e. Natural Resources including habitat protection, invasive species removal, defined meadow areas, and stormwater improvements f. Support facilities, including parking, an access road, restrooms, signage, public art, lighting, drinking fountain, bike racks Mr. Pollack-Bruce showed a proposed plan for the location of various facilities and uses. He cited the potential for a staging area for cross-country skiing, which would involve the securing of an easement. There is enough parking to accommodate 150 people on the site. There was some concern about noise from neighbors but they generally supported events of a reasonable size with guidelines. Regarding bike path connections, Mr. Pollack-Bruce should the locations and where there would be a paved path through the property. He also indicated the sidewalk and bike path crosswalk. Mr. Roy then showed the floor plan for the event barn and storage shed. He also showed sketches for the potential buildings. Buildings would be heated in the winter. It was noted that the primary priority was for views first solar second, but there could be some of each. Some of the themes from public feedback included: a. Overwhelming support for the concept with some funding already donated b. Importance of rec path connections c. The windiness of the site d. Water catchment alternatives e. Net zero goal f. Dog policy g. Undergrounding of power and low lighting h. A crosswalk from Pheasant Way with sidewalk on both sides Mr. Pollack-Bruce then reviewed potential costs on a phasing basis: Phase I: including access, passive recreation, habitat protection, parking lot, walking paths, benches, stormwater treatment, a tree buffer between the 2 homes Cost Estimate: $720,000-$880,000 Phase 2: including gardening, pump track, play areas, community garden, paths, view area with pergola, garden/farm shed with restrooms Cost Estimate: Site work - $936,000-$1,144,000 Buildings - $85,000-$104,000 Phase 3: including event facility, completed entrance drive, patio/terrace, lighting, treehouse Cost Estimate: Site work - $813,000-$994,000 Buildings - $870,000-$1,027,000 Ms. Leugers noted there have already been donations for the bike path and benches. Ms. Riehle commended the effort and noted it has been years in the making and will take years to complete. 10. (formerly #14): February Financials: Mr. Hubbard reported that with the fiscal year 2/3 complete, the general fund is at 60% of expenses and 62% of revenues. Fire inspections are at 52%. Ambulance service is on target. The final payment has been made for the communications upgrade. The salt budget has been overspent due weather incidents. Fortunately, the city was able to get more salt. Enterprise funds are on target. Ms. Emery asked about “police salaries other.” Mr. Hubbard will get that information. 11. (formerly #15) Consider and possibly approve providing Chair authority to sign Union Municipal District Agreement authorized by voters on 6 March 2018: Mr. Dorn said the next step will be for the Council to approve the MOU which will stipulate the costs. This is the interim step. Mr. Chittenden moved to approve giving the Chair authority to sign the Union Municipal District Agreement authorized by voters on 6 March 2018. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Ms. Riehle asked about the time frame. Mr. Dorn said the goal is to have at least 2 communities working by the end of the year. He will provide monthly briefings to the Council on progress. 12. (formerly #16): Consider and possibly authorize City Manager to send a Letter of Intent to the Superintendent of Schools and Chair of the School Board relating to the transfer of land at the south end of the Marcotte Central School Parking Lot property to the city for the use in construction of a Community Center and the transfer of a small parcel of land to the City on the east side of the Marcotte Central School property needed to construct Garden Street and the construction of a new, guaranteed and permanent entrance to the Marcotte Central School property: Mr. Dorn directed attention to the drafted letter. He said it is the same concept as the letter sent last summer minus space for an Arts Center. It would give the city land behind a Community Center and would give the school a permanent access to Market Street and probably Mary Street. Ms. Riehle noted this is not on the School Board’s “high priority list,” but it is on Wednesday’s meeting agenda. A possible outcome may be “we don’t have time to take it up.” Mr. Dorn stressed the need to get clarity soon if the city intends to go to the voters in November. Mr. Chittenden moved to support the Letter of Intent as presented. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 13. (formerly #5): Announcements and City Manager’s Report: Council members reported on meetings and events they had attended in recent weeks. Mr. Dorn: The roundtable meeting with SBBA will be on Tuesday, 7 a.m. Has spent a lot of time with incoming Police Chief Burk at meetings with different groups. The four mental health people have passed all the background checks. They are now meeting different department leadership people. It is expected there will be some service available by the end of the month. Ms. Emery asked how this would be paid for. She had heard it would be from using the funds for unfilled FTEs from the Police Department. She said the Council has to approve that. She also didn’t feel South Burlington should pay up to 5 times more than other communities. Mr. Dorn said the Charter authorizes him to make that decision. Mr. Chittenden said those are good questions but not at the end of a meeting where it hasn’t been warned. Ms. Riehle said the Council had received a number of updates from the City Manager and that they should have thought it would be free. Ms Riehle said a full discussion of the Mental Health Collaborative MOU and program including budget materials will be presented at the next meeting. There were also discussions with Chief Whipple about the need and the impact of mental health issues on the Police. Ms. Emery said she wanted to have the whole picture in front of her and expected the cost to be “front and center.” 14. (formerly #11): Councilors’ reports from Committee assignments: Mr. Chittenden said there is a possible reduction in the city’s assessment from Green Mountain Transit. 15. Other Business: a. Ms. Emery said she wants to see all the costs for all projects laid out. She felt the Council has not gotten the full picture. Mr. Barritt disagreed and said the Council went through a prioritization process. He didn't think they could get any more public in the process. Ms. Riehle added that the Council cannot expect to receive information on every future topic envisioned for the next 5 years prior to making decisions on some items. She agreed with Mr. Barritt that they have a full and structured process, although sometimes things come up "mid-stream" b. Regarding the gates at the former dog park, Mr. Barritt saw no conflict with the removal of some of the dog park fencing as well to ensure that visitors would not just block the gate entrance. He noted the ground is too frozen now to remove any fencing. Ms. Milizia felt that for safety purposes it was best not to have any fencing there at all in case a child got in there with a dog. As there was no further business to come before the Council, Mr. Chittenden moved to adjourn. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 11:37 p.m. Published by ClerkBase ©2019 by Clerkbase. No Claim to Original Government Works.

For a complete analysis, please see the enclosed South Burlington Planning Commission Proposed Land Development Regulations Amendment and Adoption Report, approved February 13, 2018. Also enclosed are the draft amendments as approved by the Planning Commission and warned for public hearing by the Council. The proposed amendments were closely reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to their holding of a public hearing. Further, in the case of the Housing Preservation Standards and the modifications to the Bicycle Parking Standards, respectively, the Affordable Housing Committee and Bicycle & Pedestrian Committee were involved in the development of the regulations and provided their recommendations and/or proposed language to the Commission. At Monday’s Public Hearing, staff and the Planning Commission’s Chair, Jessica Louisos, can provide an overview of the development and language contained within each of the proposed amendments. Summary of Proposed Amendments A. Establish housing preservation standards in certain zoning districts; Applicability: Residential 1, Residential 1-PRD, Residential 1-Lakeshore, Residential 1-Lakeview, Residential 2, Residential 4, Residential 7, Residential 7-Neighborhood Commercial, Residential 12, Lakeshore Neighborhood, Queen City Park, SEQ-Natural Resource Protection, SEQ-Neighborhood Residential, SEQ-Neighborhood Residential North, SEQ-Neighborhood Residential Transition, SEQ-Village Residential, SEQ-Village Commercial, Commercial 1-Residential 12, Commercial 1-Residential 15, Commercial 1-AUTO, Commercial 1-Limited Retail, Allen Road, and Commercial 2 Districts; Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw: The proposed amendment would require the preservation of housing in the City of South Burlington. For each dwelling unit removed in the applicable zoning districts, a replacement dwelling 2 unit or financial contribution to the City’s affordable housing trust fund be made with the goal of preserving workforce and affordable homes in the City. Any replacement dwelling unit built on a parcel that is different from the origin parcel would need to include an affordability component or be sold or rented for equal or lower cost than the building that was removed. B. Modifications to the City Center Form Based Code Applicability: City Center Form Based Code District Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw The proposed amendment would make a series of minor modifications to the City Center Form Based Code. Specifically: • Allow accessory structures of up to 500 s.f. to be located on a site in locations other than along street frontages; • Clarifications to buffer strip requirements between T4 districts and R4 / R7 districts; • Allow for the replacement of pre-existing vinyl siding on a building with new vinyl siding • Apply the list of prohibited exterior materials on buildings to all sides, not only those facing streets, public rights-of-0way, and park spaces; • Clarify allowance for off-site placement of open space in the T4 District; • Allow for pre-approval of open space in a multi-phased project; • Allow for off-site use of landscaping budget where open space is to be located off-site • Clarifications to T3 and T3+ District purpose statement • Allowance for additional building types in the T3 and T3+ districts on small lots • Modify upper-story balcony requirements in the T3 and T3+ Districts • Clarifications of measurement of T4 and T5 District glazing standards; C. Modifications to height standards in the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Auto Districts and removal of minor rooftop apparatus from height calculations Applicability: C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Auto District for height standards, all districts for calculation of minor rooftop apparatus Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw The proposed amendment would modify the height standards in three Zoning districts: the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Auto. Specifically: • Increase maximum height in the districts from 40 feet to five stories and remove associated height waiver provisions; • Specify that no building shall be more than 1 story taller than the shortest building on adjacent lands in the Residential 4 District, except where separation exists beyond 75 feet; 3 The amendments would also remove minor rooftop apparatus from the calculation of heights.

This district would generally include properties that front on Shelburne Road as well as a small area of land surrounding the Williston Road/Kennedy Drive intersection. The amendment’s stated purpose is to reflect a design which fosters accessibility in the area. More specifically, the amendment: • Requires entries on the façade of the building served by the primary road in the corridor. This entry is to be regulated as a focal point of the front façade and be an easily recognizable feature of the building, served by a walkway; • Requires a minimum amount of glazing on the principal public façade; • Reduce minimum building setbacks from the road right of way; • Establish ‘nodes’ of activity at designated corridors; • Clarify landscaping requirements for properties in the district, particularly where they abut a residential zoning district. E.

Purpose. It is the purpose of the Urban Design Overlay District to recognize the impact of simple design principles and to reflect a design aesthetic that fosters accessibility and creates civic pride in the City’s most traveled areas and gateways, while furthering the stated goals of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Urban Design Overlay District aids in fulfilling the City’s vision for the Southwest quadrant, which is to enable infill and conversion development, encourage pedestrian movement, serve local and regional shopping and employment needs, and make use of existing public transportation. The City intends for the applicable areas to provide safe and inviting access to adjacent neighborhoods. B. Comprehensive Plan. This section implements the community desires established in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the Plan desires that new development will occur in subject corridors. The corridors subject to the Urban Design Overlay District are encouraged within the Plan to use public transportation services, inspire pedestrian movement, and foster effective transitions to adjacent residential areas. More specifically yet, the Plan advocates for the creation of one or more nodes of concentrated development and public activity in these areas. C. Boundaries & Applicability.

MINOR TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS 18.01 Inclusionary Zoning B. Applicability (1) Covered Development. Except as otherwise provided in this bylaw, the provisions of this section shall apply within the City Center Form Based Codes District to any development, notwithstanding any phasingincluding each phase of the development, that will result in the creation of twelve (12) or more total dwelling units through subdivision, new construction, or the conversion of an existing structure or structures from non-residential to residential use. For purposes of this requirement, two or more developments shall be aggregated and considered as one development subject to this section if: (a) The developments are located on abutting properties; and (b) The developments are owned or controlled by the same person; and (c) Either: (i) The developments will undergo subdivision, construction, or conversion of an existing structure or structures from non-residential to residential use within the same five-year period, which period shall be measured from the date a proper and complete application is first submitted, or draftpage 18 (ii) A master plan exists, as approved by the City, which includes two or more of the developments. C. Inclusionary Units (1) For covered development, at least five percent (5%) of the total dwelling units offered for rent or sale, including units offered for sale in fee simple, shared, condominium or cooperative ownership, shall be affordable to households having incomes no greater than 80% of the area median income (AMI) adjusted for household size.

Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission approved the amendments and the accompanying Report. 2 Brief Description and Findings Concerning the Proposed Amendments The proposed amendments have been considered by the Planning Commission for their consistency with the text, goals, and objectives of the City of South Burlington’s Comprehensive Plan, adopted February 2, 2016. For each of the amendments, the Commission has addressed the following as enumerated under 24 VSA 4441(c): “…The report shall provide a brief explanation of the proposed bylaw, amendment, or repeal and shall include a statement of purpose as required for notice under section 4444 of this title, and shall include findings regarding how the proposal: (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing. (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities.” A. Establish a housing preservation requirement that requires replacement of removed dwelling units in certain districts Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw The proposed amendment would require the preservation of housing in the City of South Burlington. For each dwelling unit removed in the applicable zoning districts, a replacement dwelling unit or financial contribution to the City’s affordable housing trust fund be made with the goal of preserving workforce and affordable homes in the City. Any replacement dwelling unit built on a parcel that is different from the origin parcel would need to include an affordability component or be sold or rented for equal or lower cost than the building that was removed. (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing The proposed amendments implement the goals and policies of the City’s 2016 Comprehensive Plan, and are specifically focused on the availability of safe and affordable housing. Among these goals & policies: • Goals: “Be affordable, with housing for people of all incomes, lifestyles, and stages of life” (p. 1-1) • Goal: “Keep unique features, and maintain or enhance the quality of life of existing neighborhoods” (p. 1-1) • Objective 3. “Foster the creation and retention of a housing stock that is balanced in size and target income level, is representative of the needs of households of central Chittenden County, and maintain an efficient use of land for use by future generations” (p. 2-16) • Objective 4. “Support the retention of existing and construction of new affordable and moderate-income housing, emphasizing both smaller single family homes and apartments, to meet demand within the regional housing market.” (p. 2-16) 3 • Strategy 4. “Implement a variety of tools and programs to foster innovative approaches to preserving and increasing the City’s supply of affordable and moderate income housing. Potential tools should be explored and could include form-based codes that would allow a variety of residential and mixed use building types, transferable development rights, neighborhood preservation overlay districts, household definition regulations, inclusionary zoning, bonuses and incentives, waivers and expedited review processes, and/or a housing retention ordinance.” (p. 2-16) • Strategy 6. “Promote the preservation of existing housing stock in residential neighborhoods, particularly the supply of affordable and moderately-priced homes.” (p. 2- 16). The Comprehensive Plan also points to the City’s 2013 “Path to Affordability” Affordable Housing Report as an additional resource in this area. The Report includes a detailed analysis of the City’s current and future demographics, housing stock, overall affordability, and provides an assessment of current and prospective tools to address identified housing needs. The Report notes that the cost of construction of new housing leaves an affordability gap for young families and recommends tools to retain existing housing stock as a means to meet demand in this sector of the population. The Report includes specific recommendations to pursue housing retention / preservation regulations and also included several of the housing goals, objectives, and strategies that are in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment provides multiple alternatives for how housing is to be retained in the community. These include: • Rebuild a dwelling unit on the subject parcel. A dwelling unit that is removed can be replaced with a new dwelling unit on the same parcel. • Build a dwelling unit on a separate parcel. A dwelling unit that is removed can be replaced with a new dwelling unit, on a different parcel, so long as the new dwelling unit serves as a group home, meets an affordability requirement for a specified period of time, or is offered for sale at or below the fair market value of the unit that removed. • Make a contribution to the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund. A dwelling unit that is removed can be mitigated through a contribution to the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The amount of the contribution was established based on an assessment of the down payment assistance that has been demonstrated as needed for affordable, shared equity housing programs to be functional in the region. Supporting documentation has been provided via letter from Champlain Housing Trust and via email from the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board. (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. The proposed amendment would not alter future land uses or densities as envisioned in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Housing may be retained and any replacement housing would be constructed pursuant to the densities and future land uses established in the current regulations. 4 (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities. The proposed amendment would not impact any specific proposals for planned community facilities. B. Modifications to the City Center Form Based Code Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw The proposed amendment would make a series of minor modifications to the City Center Form Based Code. Specifically: • Allow accessory structures of up to 500 s.f. to be located on a site in locations other than along street frontages; • Clarifications to buffer strip requirements between T4 districts and R4 / R7 districts; • Allow for the replacement of pre-existing vinyl siding on a building with new vinyl siding • Apply the list of prohibited exterior materials on buildings to all sides, not only those facing streets, public rights-of-0way, and park spaces; • Clarify allowance for off-site placement of open space in the T4 District; • Allow for pre-approval of open space in a multi-phased project; • Allow for off-site use of landscaping budget where open space is to be located off-site • Clarifications to T3 and T3+ District purpose statement • Allowance for additional building types in the T3 and T3+ districts on small lots • Modify upper-story balcony requirements in the T3 and T3+ Districts • Clarifications of measurement of T4 and T5 District glazing standards; (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing. The proposed amendments to the Form Based Code closely align with the goals of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The amendments are relatively minor in nature, but each are consistent with the objectives presented below. “The vision for the Central District is to effectively blend existing neighborhoods, commercial areas, natural areas, underdeveloped properties, and undeveloped lands into the true downtown of South Burlington. Th is downtown will provide increased connectivity through new cross streets; support an integrated mix of housing, retail, and employment; and be a primary focus point for compact, walkable development within the City.” (P. 3-9) “Objective 40. Create a cohesive, diverse, dynamic, and people-oriented City Center with a strong identity and ‘sense of place’ that incorporates harmonious design, an appropriate mix of residential and non-residential uses and public amenities that complement adjoining neighborhoods.” “Strategy 102. Use design review and/or form-based coding to promote the development of aesthetically pleasing, pedestrian-focused and highly functional environments.” 5 “Strategy 4. Implement a variety of tools and programs to foster innovating approaches to preserving and increasing the City’s supply of affordable and moderate income housing, including…. inclusionary zoning…” “Strategy 5. Increase the supply of safe and affordable housing by allowing higher- density, mixed use and mixed-income development with City Center and transit corridors, allowing multi-unit housing within transitional zones between residential neighborhoods and commercial / industrial uses.” The proposed amendments advance the availability of safe and affordable housing by allowing for greater flexibility in the development of small lots in the T3 and T3+ Districts. (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. The majority of the amendments listed above are minor in nature and would not impact future land uses or densities. The allowance for greater flexibility in small lots in the T3 and T3+ district, however, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s designation of this area as “medium to higher intensity, mixed use”, transitioning to “lower intensity, principally residential.” (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities.” The proposed amendment would not impact any specific proposals for planned community facilities. C. Modifications to height standards in the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Auto Districts and removal of minor rootftop apparatus from height calculations; Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw The proposed amendment would modify the height standards in three South Burlington Zoning districts: the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Auto. Specifically: • Increase maximum height in the districts from 40 feet to five stories and remove associate4d height waiver provisions; • Specify that no building shall be more than 1 story taller than the shortest building on adjacent lands in the Residential 4 District, except where separation exists beyond 75 feet; The amendments would also remove minor rooftop apparatus from the calculation of heights. (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing. The proposed amendment seeks to align the stated goals of the Plan with the effective developability of the parcels in these zones. Current height standards limit the density of housing in areas designated for growth. Furthermore, the zoning districts included in this 6 amendment lie within established transportation corridors. Affordability of housing is often reliant on increased density and a reduction in living expenses, including the costs of transportation. Increased building heights in this corridor, and by extension density, will result in an increase in safe and affordable housing options. Each of the affected zoning districts are located within the Medium-to-Higher Intensity – Mixed Use Future Land Use District in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. The district is described as follows: “These lands are intended to be the most compact and most intensely developed in the City and support employment. Residential densities are higher than other designations, as a matter of allowance and as a goal. Housing options are varied but focus primarily on multi-family dwellings. Uses should be mixed within the block, and mixed within buildings wherever possible. Infrastructure is efficient, and transportation is emphasized towards pedestrians and cyclists and provision of large scale non-shared parking should be discouraged. Open space are part of the public realm. Building heights, lot coverages, and other building dimensions are higher than other future land use areas.” (p. 3-7) The proposed amendment also affirmatively advances the following objectives and strategies for housing and for this district generally: “Objective 5. Build and reinforce diverse, walkable neighborhoods that offers a good quality of by designing and locating new and renovated housing in a context-sensitive manner that will facilities the development of a high-density City Center, mixed use transit corridors, and compact residential neighborhoods” (p. 2-16)” “Strategy 5. Increase the supple of safe and affordable rental housing by allowing higher- density, mixed use and mixed income development within City Center and transit corridors, allowing multi-unit housing within transitional zones between residential neighborhoods and commercial/industrial land uses.” (p. 2-16) “Objective 39. The majority of new development will occur within the Shelburne Road, Williston Road, and Kennedy Drive Corridors, and other areas within the Transit service area.” (p. 3-4) “East of Victory Drive, land uses are planned to include a mix of residential (on the north side) and non-residential (on the south side. East of Mills Ave, non-residential uses are programmed for both sides of the road. In all of these areas, development should create inviting spaces for residents in nearby neighborhoods to walk to services along Williston Road.” (p. 3-16) “Objective 54. Promote higher-density, mixed use development and redevelopment along Shelburne Road and foster effective transitions to adjacent residential areas.” (p. 3-28) (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. The proposed amendment seeks to align the stated goals of the Plan with the effective developability of the parcels in these zones. Current height standards are directly limiting 7 the density of housing in this corridor; the stated density goals are restrained by building height limitations and the achievable densities fall below the stated goals. Where densities remain achievable, they are too often accomplished with wider buildings that become more land-consumptive and exacerbate issues associated with increased impervious coverage. As described above, the proposed amendment is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities. The proposed amendment would not impact any specific proposals for planned community facilities. D. Establishment of an Urban Design Overlay District within portions of the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Auto Districts; Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw The proposed amendment would create a new overlay zone, the Urban Design Overlay District. This district would generally include properties that front on Shelburne Road as well as a small area of land surrounding the Williston Road/Kennedy Drive intersection. The amendment’s stated purpose is to reflect a design which fosters accessibility in the area. More specifically, the amendment: • Requires entries on the façade of the building served by the primary road in the corridor. This entry is to be regulated as a focal point of the front façade and be an easily recognizable feature of the building, served by a walkway; • Requires a minimum amount of glazing on the principal public façade; • Reduce minimum building setbacks from the road right of way; • Establish ‘nodes’ of activity at designated corridors; • Clarify landscaping requirements for properties in the district, particularly where they abut a residential zoning district. (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing. The stated purpose of the overlay district includes the following language: This Overlay aids the City’s vision for the Southwest quadrant, which is to enable infill and conversion development, encourage pedestrian movement, serve local and regional shopping and employment needs, and make use of existing public transportation. The City strongly envisions that the quadrant will also provide safe and inviting access to adjacent neighborhoods. This infill development, carefully crafted with pedestrian principles and aesthetic consideration, will lead to an increase in new housing that is affordable and will also 8 create more opportunities and a better place for adjacent established neighborhoods that account for a large portion of the City’s most affordable family housing. Each of the affected area are located within the Medium-to-Higher Intensity – Mixed Use Future Land Use District in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. The district is described as follows: “These lands are intended to be the most compact and most intensely developed in the City and support employment. Residential densities are higher than other designations, as a matter of allowance and as a goal. Housing options are varied but focus primarily on multi-family dwellings. Uses should be mixed within the block, and mixed within buildings wherever possible. Infrastructure is efficient, and transportation is emphasized towards pedestrians and cyclists and provision of large scale non-shared parking should be discouraged. Open space are part of the public realm. Building heights, lot coverages, and other building dimensions are higher than other future land use areas.” (p. 3-7) The proposed amendment also affirmatively advances the following objectives and strategies for housing and for this district generally: “Objective 5. Build and reinforce diverse, walkable neighborhoods that offers a good quality of by designing and locating new and renovated housing in a context-sensitive manner that will facilities the development of a high-density City Center, mixed use transit corridors, and compact residential neighborhoods” (p. 2-16)” “Strategy 5. Increase the supple of safe and affordable rental housing by allowing higher- density, mixed use and mixed income development within City Center and transit corridors, allowing multi-unit housing within transitional zones between residential neighborhoods and commercial/industrial land uses.” (p. 2-16) “Design Review / Form Based Codes. The City has successfully implemented several design review districts within its City Center and is in 2015 working to an evolution to an adopted Form Based Code. This effort has proved successful and it is a concept that is proposed to be explored in other areas of the City. It is in the interest of the City to improve its appearance in order to enhance quality of life for the City’s residents, businesses, and visitors.” (pp. 2-48 – 2-49). “Context-sensitive site design. The City should also encourage the retention of historic landscapes and structures and the restoration of other. The use of additional alternatives to achieve improved aesthetics should be explored, such as requiring variable setbacks, the use of high quality traditional building materials, and locating parking to the rear pf commercial establishments. It has been a trend in many sectors of the retail area to construct cheap structural shells that are easily changed to accommodate market fluctuations. The City should work with the development community to identify tools to improve the quality of life within the City and help foster a true sense of community.” (p. 2-49) 9 “Objective 39. The majority of new development will occur within the Shelburne Road, Williston Road, and Kennedy Drive Corridors, and other areas within the Transit service area.” (p. 3-4) “East of Victory Drive, land uses are planned to include a mix of residential (on the north side) and non-residential (on the south side. East of Mills Ave, non-residential uses are programmed for both sides of the road. In all of these areas, development should create inviting spaces for residents in nearby neighborhoods to walk to services along Williston Road.” (p. 3-16) “Objective 54. Promote higher-density, mixed use development and redevelopment along Shelburne Road and foster effective transitions to adjacent residential areas.” (p. 3-28) (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. The proposed amendment implements the community desires established in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the Plan desires that new development will occur in subject corridors. The corridors subject to the Urban Design Overlay District are encouraged within the Plan to use public transportation services, inspire pedestrian movement, and foster effective transitions to adjacent residential areas. More specifically yet, the Plan advocates for the creation of one or more nodes of concentrated development and public activity in these areas. As described above, the proposed amendment is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities. The proposed amendment would not impact any specific proposals for planned community facilities. E. Modifications to Bicycle Parking standards Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw These minor amendments clarify existing requirements in the design of bike parking facilities, including short term and long-term bike parking. New provisions are included which allow for limited inclusion of pre-existing bike racks in meeting new standards. Location of Amendments in the LDRs: Chapter 13.14 Supplemental Regulations; Appendix G. Analysis & Findings per 24 VSA 4441(c): (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing 10 While the provision of these “end-of-trip” bicycle facilities support the availability of safe and affordable housing by assuring that residents have places to keep bicycles and reduce dependence of vehicle ownership, the included amendments are technical in nature and do not impact the municipal plan or the availability of safe and affordable housing. (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. The proposed amendments are not anticipated to affect future land uses or densities. (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities. The proposed amendments are not anticipated to affect planned community facilities. F. Minor Technical Corrections Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw Several minor typographic, numbering, and clarifying changes are proposed throughout the document.

Members Present: H. Riehle, Chair; M. Emery, T. Barritt, T. Chittenden Also Present: K. Dorn, City Manager; T. Hubbard, Deputy City Manager; A Bolduc, City Attorney; D. Rugh, Attorney; C. Baker, CCRPC; R. Smith, Auditor; M. Mittag, W. Dodge, J. Myers, M. Cassella, C. Young, M. Ostby, 1. Instructions on exiting building in case of emergency: Mr. Dorn provided instructions on emergency evacuation of the building. 2. Agenda Review: Additions, deletions or changes in order of agenda items: Members agreed to add the following to Other Business: a. Discussion of the process for hiring a new Police Chief b. Discussion regarding the noise survey c. Discussion on how the Council might provide leadership in 2 areas 3. Possibly enter Executive Session to discuss legal and personnel matters to include appointments to South Burlington Boards, Committees and Commissions: Mr. Barritt moved that the Council make a specific finding that premature general public knowledge of a discussion and update with the City Manager on labor relations negotiations with employees and confidential attorney-client communications made for the purpose of providing professional legal services to this Council would clearly place the City at a substantial disadvantage. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Mr. Barritt then moved that the Council enter into executive session for the purpose of discussion labor relations agreements with employees, CBA update; confidential Attorney/Client communications; and the appointment, employment or evaluation of a public officer or employee and to invite the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and City Attorney into the session with the Council. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. The Council entered executive session at 6:38 p.m. and resumed open session at 7:12 p.m. 4. Comments and Questions from the public not related to the agenda: No issues were raised. 5. Announcements and City Manager’s Report: Council members reported on meetings and events they had attended in recent weeks. CITY COUNCIL 20 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 2 Mr. Dorn: Acknowledged the assistance of Mr. Rabidoux, Ms. Blanchard and Ms. LaRose at the SBBA event. A date for a Council meeting with SBBA is still pending. Last week, Mr. Rabidoux led a tour of City Hall Park. A tremendous amount of work has been done there. Police Chief Whipple is at the White House for an award ceremony for a Medal of Valor recipient. The Chief serves on a national committee to select that recipient. 6. Councilors Reports from Committee Assignments: Mr. Chittenden invited members to channel any questions regarding Green Mountain Transit through him. Ms. Riehle asked about future plans for Tilley Drive and concern that the number of South Burlington trips does not equate with the amount the city pays to GMT. She noted that people now have to take a bus downtown for a transfer to the bus to Tilley Drive. She suggested that Mr. Chittenden bring back to the GMT Board that the city is looking for some “creativity,” and that the Medical Center needs to be a part of that conversation. 7. Public Hearing: Second Reading and possible adoption of amendments to the City’s Public Nuisance Ordinance: Ms. Emery moved to open the public hearing. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Mr. Bolduc explained that the amendments clarify what constitutes a public nuisance. It also expands the hours when trash pick-up is a public nuisance from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. to 7 a.m., and exempts noise from a permitted use in an applicable zoning district of the city’s Land Development Regulations with certain criteria. Ms. Emery said she had thought the expanded hours were for everything, not only from trash collection. Mr. Bolduc said he didn’t recall the Council every wanted a blanket 7 a.m. Mr. Chittenden said the Council voted only to move the amendments forward to a public hearing. He also noted that trash haulers want 6 a.m. because of traffic issues and that Tom Moreau has suggested having that discussion along with a discussion of a single-hauler system. CITY COUNCIL 20 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 3 Mr. Myers said the one hour in the morning is huge to haulers. It gives them a 2+ hour advantage over traffic concerns. He expressed concern for the safety of his drivers being out twice a day in heavy traffic. They also have to be at the dumping site by 3:30 p.m., and the extra hour could jeopardize that as well. He felt the added hour could also add to costs as they would have to hire more people. He noted that it is rare that they get even 3 calls a year regarding noise. Mr. Cassella agreed with Mr. Myers and noted that in most cities trash is picked up at midnight. He didn’t feel that putting drivers at risk is good for the community or the drivers. The pickup process would take more time, put more trucks on the road, put more carbon emissions into the air, etc. Mr. Chittenden asked whether there is a form of consolidated service where there could be more efficiency. Mr. Barritt said he would like to have that discussion, but it is not on this agenda. Ms. Ostby noted that children are walking to school at 7 a.m., often when it is not fully light out, and having more trucks on the road could be a risk to the kids. There was no other public comment. Ms. Emery moved to close the public hearing. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Mr. Emery suggested removing the trash collection from the 7 a.m. time frame but to leave the other noise sources at 7 a.m. Other members supported that change. Mr. Bolduc suggested 19 March for another hearing on the amendments. Ms. Emery moved to warn a public hearing for a second reading of amendments to the City’s Public Nuisance Ordinance for 19 March 2018, 7:30 p.m. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 8. Consent Agenda: a. Sign Disbursements b. Approve Minutes for 4, 16 and 24 January and 5 February 2018 c. Approve Negotiation and Execution of Park Signage Contract with Design Signs, Inc. CITY COUNCIL 20 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 4 d. Approve Stormwater Grant Application for Construction of Pinnacle at Spear Pond MO5 Retrofit: Ms. Emery noted the due date on the grant application had passed. Mr. Dorn said he assumed Mr. DiPietro had made arrangements so the application would be timely with the State. Ms. Emery moved to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 9. Presentation and discussion of FY17 Audit: Mr. Smith reported that the City improved its financial position in FY2017. He is still concerned that there be a 30-day reserve balance. That would amount to $1,800,000. The current reserve is half of that amount. The city’s financial security and bond rating depend on that reserve. He noted that the city does have healthy utility departments to borrow from in an emergency (such as happened 6 years ago). He stressed that they should stay away from the restricted fund for such borrowing. He also cited that funds from impact fees and other dedicated funding which eases the rush to get to the $1,800,000 figure quickly, but there is still the need to work toward that figure. Mr. Smith noted there are still some unfunded obligations including about $700,000 for retirement benefits (the amount left on the bond). He felt the growth in the pension will one day take care of that obligation. Mr. Smith also noted that when management letters were sent regarding a payroll issue, management responded very quickly to mitigate the concern. Mr. Smith then addressed the question of “complacency” with continuing to use the same auditors. He noted that GFOA has said that if a company has safety in place, using the same auditors is not an issue. Mr. Smith noted that his company rotates auditors every 2 years. He also stressed that municipal auditing is very specialized and that his firm does over 500 municipalities. He serves on the “Yellow Book” advisory committee and is to be the recipient of a national award this spring. This would be their 8th year of working for South Burlington, and he has served some of his clients for over 20 years. CITY COUNCIL 20 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 5 Ms. Emery noted that the city spends more than it takes in. Mr. Smith said this is a typical problem. Ms. Emery said she would like to see fine details on new initiatives such as mental health, dispatch, etc. Mr. Smith said they can add that information. Mr. Chittenden asked if there is much flexibility in property tax collection in other communities. Mr. Smith said he sees a lot of discount programs. He did not feel that now is the time for South Burlington to consider that; however, it should be a future goal. 10. Receive and discuss petition related to reopening of the South Burlington Dog Park located at J C Park: Residents presented a petition with 273 signatures to reopen the JC Park Dog Park. They said they heard no noise complaints when they canvassed the neighborhood. They could not understand what caused the closure. They felt that having the dog park there brings a closer community, but also recognized that a dog park “will not be the quietest place in town.” Ms. Riehle said there is a need for more than one dog park in the city. She noted that the Airport suddenly closed the dog park that had been on Airport property and the city tried to find a place quickly. She said she did not particularly favor the JC Park location, but it was land that the city controls and there was a need to move the fencing from the Airport location to a new location before winter. Ms. Emery said that JC Park was always intended to be a temporary site. Not all neighbors were satisfied with the location, and it evoked confrontations between neighbors. Mr. Chittenden said more dog parks are needed and suggested the focus now be on finding those locations that will work. He did not feel JC Park should have been closed before another site was identified. Ms. Riehle cited the need to come up with guidelines for dog parks including size, proximity to residences, etc. City-owned land could then be identified to see what would work. Ms. Young, who serves on the committee to come up with those guidelines said she could find not reference to JC Park being a “temporary” site. She stressed that they want JC Park reopened until a new site is identified. CITY COUNCIL 20 FEBRURY 2018 PAGE 6 Mr. Chittenden said he was willing to make that motion, but he did not feel it would pass. One of the neighbors said that only person complained and that she lives next door to him and she never heard a lot of noise. Mr. Barritt said he drove to the park one Saturday morning and felt there was considerable noise from barking dogs. Ms. Emery said the Council made a mistake in putting a “non-essential” dog park in a location which caused rancor between neighboring residents.. A resident asked why the Airport threw the city out of the dog park located at the Airport. Ms. Riehle explained that the FAA has said that any land acquired with FAA money must be used only for airport-related activity, and the dog park did not fit that requirement. Mr. Dorn stressed that this is the second time the city has been thrown out of a dog park, first by UVM and then by the Airport. The city wants to cite a dog park on city-owned land so that cannot happen again. Council members urged the committee to come up with guidelines so the process of siting new dog parks can proceed. 11. Receive and discuss report related to current land use restrictions on the Wheeler Homestead and Park property: Mr. Rugh noted that the property is 98 acres, not including the 22 acres that were just added or the 25 acres to the northwest. The city’s practice since 1990 has been to use that land for recreation. Since then, practice has been to go to the voters if the city wanted to use the land for some other purpose than recreation (e.g., police station). Mr. Rugh said that aside from that practice, there are 14.4 acres east of the Homestead and south of Swift St. that have been set aside in perpetuity as mitigation for prime ag soils (tied into the 25 acres north of Oak Creek Village at Fox Run Lane). No buildings or structures can be on that land but with permission of the District Commission there could be rec paths or a picnic area. There can be no motor vehicles, no fill and no grading, and nothing that could negatively impact the use of that land for agriculture. CITY COUNCIL 20 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 7 Mr. Rugh also noted that the city just accepted a permit condition for 7 acres of offsite mitigation for the JAM Golf development just to the east of the 14.4 acres. There are now much stricter restrictions on that land and it can be used only for farming (under Act 250). It must be brush-hogged every 2 years, if the land remains fallow. Mr. Rugh said it appears there are 47 acres of prime agricultural soils remaining on the parcel. The 22 acre piece the city recently acquired has no legal restrictions. However, when the golf course development was built, the developer relied on those 22 acres as “open space” for the development. It would require mitigation if there were some uses proposed for that land. Ms. Emery asked if a blanket policy to keep the land in perpetuity desirable. Mr. Rugh said that depends on whether you are a conservationist or a developer. Mr. Bolduc noted there are other land characteristics that might inhibit development. Mr. Rugh cited wetlands which, if they are Class 2, would be hard to develop, and if they are Class 3, would require mitigation. Ms. Riehle suggested an executive session to get some more legal advice. Mr. Rugh noted there are some restrictions that might preclude putting some of that property into a conservation easement. 12. Briefing and discussion regarding CCRPC ECOS Plan: Mr. Shaw, the City’s representative to CCRPC, noted a public hearing tomorrow on the ECOS plan (the regional plan for the county) at 6 p.m. in Winooski. The plan is on the website. A second public hearing will be held on 16 May with 20 June set for adoption of the plan. Mr. Baker reviewed the top 10 Actions for the 5-year duration of the new plan as follows: a. Support multi-modal development b. Invest in the transportation system c. Support housing development d. Assist municipalities with enhanced energy planning e. Implement the Lake Champlain TMDL program to help clean up the Lake f. Emergency management (regional dispatch) g. Support population health h. Monitor advancement of autonomous vehicles CITY COUNCIL 20 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 8 i. Coordinate with municipalities on ECOS Annual Report j. Support workforce development Mr. Baker noted the plan is largely the same as the 2113 plan with updates and some reorganization. They have also updated the Metropolitan Transit Plan (MTP) and the Community Economic Development Strategy, which are now part of the ECOS package. There is a new Enhanced Energy package which includes homes using less energy and having growth go into areas planned for growth (near services) to reduce traffic and energy needs. Mr. Baker noted the State mandate that 90% of energy be from renewable sources by 2050. This means that 90% of cars would need to be electric by that date. Mr. Baker felt this was not realistic if gas prices continue to be cheaper than renewable sources of energy. Regarding traffic, Mr. Shaw noted the number of people living outside Chittenden County and commuting into Chittenden County has increased. In addition, the number of people over age 60 has increased while the number of people in the “young family” age range has not. Thirteen percent of Vermonters age 20-24 are unemployed and looking for work compared to the rest of the population. Seven percent for Vermonters are “underemployed.” Forty percent of high school graduates do not go on to further education. Ms. Emery felt it would make more sense to have a regional bike path system. Mr. Baker said they try to look at where there are gaps, but government structure in Vermont relies on communities to make those decisions. He noted that 70% of funding goes to maintaining the transportation system. Mr. Chittenden felt they need to look at license plates to determine assessment for tolls. Mr. Baker noted the potential for Interstate/interchange improvement but added this would take a long time. It is very much a South Burlington issue. Ms. Emery expressed the need to bring families back to the city. She noted how hard it is to find family housing. Mr. Baker said that it was also a consequence of lack of employment opportunities that provide for promotions, which was a state-wide problem, not only South Burlington's. Ms. Riehle said South Burlington is a “pass-through” community, and the city is left with having to keep roads maintained without financial recognition by the State. CITY COUNCIL 20 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 9 13. New Cingular Wireless Request for a License Agreement for “Small Cell” Wireless Installations on City Land: Mr. Bolduc said the agreement would be for 10 years with an automatic renewal. The city would receive $250 a year rent for each location. Mr. Dodge then explained that they are looking at 3 sites in the city: the light pole near the Fire Station, a pole near the Vitamin Shoppe, and a pole at 400 Dorset Street. He explained the different types of cell sites. These would be basically small sites that would cover a radius of about 150 feet and would take a signal from a macro site and boost it. Mr. Dodge showed photographs of what the installations would look like. There would be no ground disturbance. He also explained the legal process and the need for an agreement to use a municipal pole. There would be no change to the poles. Mr. Dodge said these installations will improve things on Dorset Street. They are also working on some sites with Green Mountain Power poles. The installations will deal with the period when a lot of people are using their phones at the same time. Mr. Barritt suggested painting the equipment the same color as the pole. Mr. Dodge said that can be discussed. Mr. Dorn asked if it is anticipated there could be more city poles involved. Mr. Dodge said the agreement says there could be more. Mr. Dodge added that they will post a $5000 bond and they will do all the “make ready” work and provide insurance and indemnification to the city. Mr. Chittenden moved that the Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and enter into a license agreement or agreements with New Cingular Wireless at the proposed three locations in and owned by the City. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 14. Discussion and possible action related to Council appointments to South Burlington Boards, Committees and Commissions: Ms. Emery moved to make the following appointments: CITY COUNCIL 20 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 10 Ian Squirrell ………………….. Housing Trust Fund Committee Daniel Seff ……………………. City Charter Committee Brian Sullivan ………………. Development Review Board Jonathan Pence …………… Parks Committee Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 15. January Financials: Mr. Hubbard reported that 58% through the year, expenses are at 56% of budget and revenues are at 53%. Most operating transfers and vehicle purchases have been made. Due to the weather, they are well into the salt budget and overtime budgets. All bond payments have been made. Building and sign permits are where they should be, and fire inspections are already higher than last year. 16. Acknowledge receipt from the Planning Commission of draft amendment to the Land Development Regulations and accompanying Report. Consider warning public hearing on draft amendments to the Land Development Regulations: Ms. Ostby explained an issue that came up in the Planning Commission public hearing regarding 8-foot vs. 5-foot setbacks in the Form Based Code area. The Planning Commission was split on the issue and agreed to let the Council hear both sides. Mr. Barritt moved to warn a public hearing on draft amendments to the Land Development Regulations for 19 March, 8 p.m. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 17. Other Business: a. Ms. Emery noted that the son of a couple she knows contacted her and sent her application information for the Police Chief position in South Burlington, unsure about his eligibility. The ad for the position requires that applicants be Vermont police officers with Level 3 certification. She asked why Mr. Dorn had limited the pool to Vermont police officers.. She felt it is important to have the hiring of a police chief to be a public process and the public should be invited to indicate the qualities they would want to have in their new police chief. She noted that CITY COUNCIL 20 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 11 she did not want the city to turn away anyone who was qualified. Mr. Dorn said they are requiring a pool of Vermonters that are already certified to be a police chief in the State. Because of the available pool of such officers, it was not felt that there is a need to go outside the state. He stressed that you cannot serve as a police chief in Vermont without Level 3 certification. Mr. Dorn also stressed that the police chief works for him, and under the City Charter, it is his job to hire that person. He will not delegate that responsibility. Ms. Emery said she was concerned with “transparency” and felt the public has to be involved. Mr. Dorn expressed willingness to discuss in executive session the qualities he is looking for in a new police chief. He stressed that this is an elite position in the state and there are highly qualified candidates in the state. Members agreed to hold their reorganization meeting on 7 March at 6:30 with an executive session to follow at which time Mr. Dorn will discuss the qualifications for the police chief position. b. Ms. Riehle said that she and Ms. Emery have been working with Mr. Conner on a survey of what people want in the way of noise abatement. There is a question as to whether teachers/school personnel should also be involved in the survey. Mr. Chittenden cited the need to be sure respondents are actually residents of the Chamberlin area. Mr. Barritt suggested a code system to get that assurance. Mr. Dorn will contact a survey group to see what they recommend. As there was no further business to come before the Council, Mr. Chittenden moved to adjourn. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 11:50 p.m. ________________________________ Clerk PRE-TOWN MEETING 5 MARCH 2018 The South Burlington City Council and South Burlington School Board held a pre-Town Meeting public informational hearing on Monday, 5 March 2018, at 7:00 p.m. in the Frederick Tuttle Middle School, 500 Dorset Street.

Equalized pupils – an increase of 3.97% (the Superintendent explained the difference between equalized and seated students e. Common level of appraisal – negligible change Supt. Young noted that unlike the rest of the state, the number of equalized pupils has increased 5.5% in recent years. He also noted that net spending per equalized pupil will decrease by 2.75% in the coming year, from $15,401 to $14,977. New budget items for FY 19 include: a. 2 contingent teachers ($160,000) b.

Other Personnel and Facilities expenses ($122,500) PRE-TOWN MEETING 5 MARCH 2018 PAGE 2 Supt. Young explained that the district will be going for a $950,000, 20-year bond to address such needs as restrooms, storage and a team room at Munson Field, Library reconfiguration at the High School, fire alarm upgrades, key/exterior door upgrades. The Superintendent also explained that a bond is the best way to spread out the cost over a long period of time and to achieve “intergenerational equity.” Notable budget items include the following: a. A decrease of $561,405 due to the new health plan b. A decrease of $20,000 in electrical expenses due to the solar array at the landfill c. Funding for security ($258,000) d. Library repurposing ($150,000) e. There will be no new money going into the capital reserve fund. The balance will remain at $300,000. In the future, the hope is to build on this amount. The estimate is for 190 tuition students (this number could be more), 175 at the High School and 15 at the Middle School. Supt. Young said the proposed budget will result in a yearly increase of $71.00 for the average condo and $104 for the average single-family home. Anyone below the $147,000 income level will be entitled to income sensitivity. The Superintendent added that the hope is that any changes made by the Legislature will result in lowering the proposed tax rate increase. Supt. Young then reviewed some student outcomes including: a. The top-ranked Vermont school (by U.S. News and World Report) b. Ranked #1 Best Public High School in Vermont (by Niche.com) c. About 79% of High School graduates continue their education d. There is 80% co-curricular participation e. The graduation rate for 2015-16 was 93.36%. f. Standardized test scores are among the highest in the state. A member of the public asked what taxpayers are now paying on bonds. Mr. Aubin said there are 2 very small bonds. PRE-TOWN MEETING 5 MARCH 2018 PAGE 3 A resident asked about future use of bonds. Supt. Young reminded the public that they are running 60-year old buildings, and have trouble keeping up with the needs. Some buildings have 50-year old windows. He added that the hope is to get to a point where the State would help maintain buildings. 2. Presentation of Proposed City budget for FY2018-2019: Ms. Riehle reviewed the budgeting process noting that the Council had asked for a 3% increase cap. The budget presented to the Council was at 3.44%. The Council then heard from departments as to the restraints the 3.44% budget would impose on them. The Council then identified several critical items to add including additional funds for paving, striping of bike lanes, winter fire coats, and some reserves. This increased the percentage to 3.84%. Ms. Riehle also noted that the Grand List grew only ¾ of a percent in the past year, and that increase was “gobbled up” by a 12% increase in health insurance, a pension increase, and the potential from 3 union negotiations this year. Mr. Hubbard then reviewed the budget as follows: Total General Fund Expenditures ……………….. $23,686,098 General Fund Revenues ……………………………… 8,413,924 General Fund Tax Levy ……………………………….. 15,272,174 Proposed Tax Rate Increase ……………………….. 3.84% The total Grand List value is $29,736,718. Major considerations for this budget included: City Council guidance Maintaining the current level of services Meeting contractual obligations Supporting the Capital Improvement Plan Supporting annual assessments and “other entities” (e.g., County Court) Key components of the budget increase include: Grand List growth of ¾% PRE-TOWN MEETING 5 MARCH 2018 PAGE 4 Significant requests/projects in the CIP Pension contribution increase ($290,000) Health insurance increase of 12% ($218,000) Projected agreements with 3 bargaining units Reduction in revenue items Projects that were not funded included: Some projects in the CIP Stabilization fund (should be at $1,700,000 but is now at $1,300,000) Full recommended funding for the stewardship plan No new staff positions One Police cruiser and fit-up In addition, Public Works fleet replacement was reduced by $105,000, Social Services was cut by $25,000, the designated reserve fund was reduced by $100,000, the City Center reserve fund was reduced by $110,000, and the projections for fire inspection revenues were reduced. The proposed budget will result in an increase for the average condo of $43.96 for the year and for the average single-family home an increase of $63.86. In addition, the total increase for water, sewer and stormwater will be $16.77 for the year. Mr. Dorn then asked the Public Works Director to explain one of the ballot items. Mr. Rabidoux noted that the city has been paying the City of Burlington for sewer service for about 100 South Burlington homes. Burlington’s sewer rate recently increased substantially, and the cost this year would have been $240,000. The proposed bond will allow the city to reroute the sewage from those 100 homes to the Bartlett Bay Treatment Plant. The cost will be shared by all sewer rate payers at approximately $60,000 a year less than currently being paid to the City of Burlington. Mr. Dorn then asked the Police and Fire Chiefs to explain the second ballot item. Chief Whipple explained that Article 4 will allow the City Council to consider joining a Union Municipal district for emergency dispatch. Currently, South Burlington has just one dispatcher on duty at a time. With consolidation, there could be multiple dispatchers in a room to handle multiple calls and to better serve in case of a catastrophic situation. There will also be the potential for personal advancement for the dispatchers which they currently do not have. PRE-TOWN MEETING 5 MARCHE 2018 PAGE 5 Chief Brent added that time is the critical factor. He noted that the same technology is being used by E-911 today as was used in 1993. A unified district 911 center could reduce response time by 71 seconds, about 25% off the current response time. Mr. Dorn said there will also be new technology that will be able to view all available equipment to send the closest available equipment. A resident asked if this is supported by officers. Mr. Dorn said 18 Chiefs in Chittenden County have endorsed the regional dispatch center. A resident noted the recent test in Burlington of what 110 decibels (from F-35s) would sound like. Those providing the test were arrested for violating the city’s noise ordinance. Ms. Riehle said the City is making an effort to work with the FAA regarding the components of noise mitigation. Ms. Emery added that the FAA has agreed to produce a new noise exposure map relative to the F-35s so the city will have accurate data. She also noted the South Burlington’s noise ordinance does not cover aircraft or airport related noise. A resident thanked Police and Fire Chiefs for their work. He also noted that South Burlington is ranked #2 in a ranking of “safe communities” in the country. He didn’t see a gain from collaborating with 7 other cities on dispatch. As there was no further public comment and no further business to come before the Council and School Board, the meeting was adjourned at 8:23 p.m. _________________________________ CITY COUNCIL 7 MARCH 2018 The South Burlington City Council held a regular meeting on Monday, 7 March 2018, at 6:30 p.m., in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset Street. Members Present: H. Riehle, Chair; P. Nowak (via phone), M. Emery, T. Barritt, T. Chittenden Also Present: K. Dorn, City Manager; T. Hubbard, Deputy City Manager; D. Kinville, City Clerk; P.

She thanked the Council for their support and said she will try her hardest to be fair, to be sure different opinions are heard, to work toward compromise, and to keep things civil. She felt incorporating public dialog into meetings has been helpful. She emphasized good process, making good decisions, and doing the best for the city. Ms. Riehle then asked for nominations for Vice Chair. Mr. Chittenden nominated Mr. Barritt. Ms. Nowak seconded. Mr. Barritt declined the nomination. Mr. Barritt then nominated Ms. Emery.

Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Dorn then introduced Burlington Deputy Police Chief Shawn Burke as the future South Burlington Police Chief and invited Deputy Chief Burke to address the Council. CITY COUNCIL 7 MARCH 2018 PAGE 3 Deputy Chief Burke said he has served the Burlington Police Department for 21 years, holding every role a Police officer can have. He has done extensive work on drug issues and has the added perspective from a wife who is a nurse. In transitioning from drug enforcement to the “general crimes,” unit, he was the lead on a number of high-profile cases and understands the impact of crimes. In 2008, he was promoted to uniform Sargent where he worked on a number of high liability, high risk cases. He then went back to the drug unit and often worked with South Burlington officers from 2010-2012. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 2012 where he had to lead officers in the field. In 2014, he began to chart a course for his future, returning to college to finish a Bachelor’s Degree and attending the FBI National Academy. He returned to Burlington in 2015 and was chosen to serve in the Detective Bureau in 2016 as Deputy Chief of Operations where he has served ever since. His work has included serving as public information officer and working on strategic design for the Burlington Police Department. Deputy Chief Burke said he has a strong desire to serve and to police, and he does not want to leave Chittenden County. He noted that the structure of the South Burlington Police Department is similar to Burlington’s and that South Burlington is a city that cares about its Police Force and the quality of life of its residents. This suits his personality and what he has been trained for. Ms. Emery asked what he would envision for the South Burlington Police Force. Deputy Chief Burke cited the number of vacancies in the Department and also the need to use crime data to focus on underlying problems Ms. Emery asked about gun laws and situations where police could intervene and remove weapons. Deputy Chief Burke said this is a complex issue. The Legislature can empower Police to seize weapons, but there is a need for adequate storage. There is also the issue of being able to adequately search and get all weapons which can lead to liability issues if officers don’t have the ability to do a full search. He added that there needs to be a discussion of bail issues, particularly in domestic abuse cases. Ms. Nowak asked if there are advantages and/or disadvantages of coming to a so closely related community. Deputy Chief Burke said the officers of both communities attended the same academy and operate under the same laws. Systems are county-based. One disadvantage is scaling down to about half of what exists in Burlington CITY COUNCIL 7 MARCH 2018 PAGE 4 Mr. Chittenden asked if Deputy Chief Burke had any thoughts on part-time police officers to control budgets. Deputy chief Burke said the do use some part-time officers in Burlington, but they are all former Burlington police officers. Any part-time officer should be fully certified. Mr. Riehle asked what drew Deputy Chief Burke to police work. He replied that his father was a New York State police officer, and that influence was always there. He attended Vermont Technical Collage to study agricultural industry but had a strong desire to serve communities. His first job was in the Town of Woodstock which put him through the Police Academy when he agreed to stay there for 2 years. He knew then that it was his chosen career. He then applied and was hired by Burlington. Ms. Emery asked about an approach to ethnic disparity. Deputy Chief Burke spoke of the traffic stop study which began to shine a light on policing. What got his attention were the outcomes; the search rate was higher and less efficient. He noted that Dr. Brian March has trained officers across the state on “implicit bias.” He also noted that he himself has served on several boards regarding this issue. He said awareness is the key, and that it is the same in housing, schools, etc. Ms. Emery asked about the use of force, noting that the use of tasers is controversial. She asked what kind of procedure/methodology Deputy Chief Burke would put forth. He replied that “policy is great,” but training is where you see the difference. He stressed that you cannot act out of fear and that you should not induce a problem by being there. He cited the need to balance the response to people in crisis, isolating and containing the person without harm to others. He felt that using these guidelines they are now seeing better outcomes. He stressed that an officer who wants to use force is no longer working in his department. Deputy Chief Burke noted that Mr. Dorn had spoken about an “overlap period” where both long and short-term plans could be formulated. 7. Approve and sign disbursements: Ms. Emery moved to approve and sign disbursements as presented. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 8. Consider and possibly approve issuing a Request for Proposals for the Appointment of City Auditor: CITY COUNCIL 7 MARCH 2018 PAGE 5 Ms. Riehle noted that she asked Mr. Dorn to put together different kinds of agreements that the city has with different entities and the timeframes for each. Mr. Dorn suggested putting this into the work plan so the Council is reminded in a timely way. Mr. Chittenden said the current Auditor has been doing a great job. He also cited an article by a person who is an expert in the auditor process and best practices and felt it would be a “healthy process” to go through an RFP to look for a “new set of eyes.” Mr. Hubbard cited the need to be sure any candidate can do both the city and school district and the TIF audit. He would want to get a good pool (last time, they sent out 11 RFPs and got back only two responses). The consensus of the Council was to move forward with an RFP. 9. Other Business: No other business was presented. 10. Discussion of future hiring practice guidelines for certain senior department managers: Ms. Emery said that when asked about the police chief selection process by the public, she didn't know what the process would be for hiring the police chief. In some cities, it is an elaborate process, and in some a less elaborate process. She felt it was important for there to be some public outreach in the case of Police and Fire Chiefs to get a sense of “the public culture” so that there could be a process that includes members of the community in addition to the manager. She felt that the current Police Chief did an excellent job last spring as “our moral leader,” giving the community a sense of security. She felt it would be worthwhile to have a process for finalists to meet with a body of citizens including City Councilors, school people, business owners, those who work with domestic violence, etc. Mr. Barritt said police departments have come under a lot of scrutiny in recent years particularly with opioid and race issues. He felt police are getting the message that their job is public safety and dealing with people who need to be contained. Mr. Barritt also noted that sometimes he favors people who have come up through the system and noted that sometimes communities go through “gyrations” to bring in people from the outside, often at great cost. CITY COUNCIL 7 MARCH 2018 PAGE 6 Mr. Dinklage spoke in favor of a strong City Manager form of government and felt that South Burlington’s system works very well while a neighboring community “gets all tied up.” He strongly supported the current system and did not see the need for change. He felt that hearing from Deputy Police Chief Burke tonight was good. Mr. Chittenden agreed with Mr. Dinklage and was fine with the selection of Sean Burke. He added that he had spoken with Chuck Hafter who had confirmed that there had been a committee when Chief Whipple was hired. He also felt the city should follow the dictates of the City Charter. Ms. Riehle felt there is an opportunity for a dialog with the community to hear how people might feel. She did not favor the panel idea. Ms. Nowak said the City Manager has the authority to hire the city’s Police Chief. She did not think there was a need for a broad-based candidate search. Mr. Dorn said that in the 5 years he has been City Manager, he has worked hard to keep the Council informed of what he is doing. Every hire is different. Every job situation is different. There can’t be a “cookie-cutter approach.” He reminded the Council that he came to them in December and told them that Chief Whipple was going to retire. At that time, he said that rather than take resumes, he wanted to go out and find the best people. There was no opposition from the Council. Using this process, Mr. Dorn said he spoke with three people at the pinnacle of their careers and selected Deputy Chief Burke as the best. He added that candidates may not want it to be known that they were rejected by South Burlington. Mr. Chittenden said he reached out to 6 community leaders, all of whom said Mr. Dorn used the right process. He added that he had complete confidence in Mr. Dorn. Ms. Emery said she found Deputy Chief Burke to meet all the reasons for hiring. She added that she hadn’t understood that there would not be a public process similar to what was used when Mr. Hafter hired the current Police Chief. Ms. Riehle noted that having candidates state publicly that they are being interviewed for a new job could destroy their existing careers. People may not want that to be known. Mr. Dorn said the important thing is that the person who is hired should succeed. That is what everyone wants. CITY COUNCIL 7 MARCH 2018 PAGE 7 Mr. Chittenden suggested this issue might be discussed with the City Charter Committee. Mr. Taylor commented that it was disappointing that Channel 17 was not at this meeting to hear from the new Chief. Ms. Riehle said he will be introduced at an upcoming Council meeting. As there was no further business to come before the Council, Mr. Barritt moved to adjourn. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 8:35 p.m. ________________________________ Clerk Page 1 of 2 MEMORANDUM TO: South Burlington City Council FROM: Andrew Bolduc, Esq., South Burlington City Attorney DATE: 3/19/18 RE: Leased “Glebe” Lands at A1 Stonehedge Background As you may recall, back in June, 2017, the City received its first request in a number of years from an attorney representing the seller of 61 Proctor Ave to quitclaim City “leased” or “glebe” land.1 As mentioned at that time, buyer’s title insurance companies statewide have increasingly required sellers to obtain a quitclaim deed from municipalities releasing this interest prior to transfer.2 The City has received another request from an attorney representing the sellers of a residential parcel at A1 Stonehedge. As mentioned during the previous request, these lands may have some value to the City so the council must weigh retaining the City’s potential residual rights in these lands against the possible difficulties to homeowners trying to sell their property who have been paying full property taxes for many years. Conclusion If the Council desires to proceed with the course previously taken at 61 Proctor Ave, approve the consent item as is and authorize the Council Chair to execute the attached quitclaim deed that has undergone a legal review. As this was the second such request recently, total staff time was less than an hour and because the City holds these lands in a fiduciary capacity, and the parties have otherwise agreed, the City will not incur the expense of the warning and notice requirements of 24 V.S.A. § 1061. 1 A detailed analysis of this land interest was in Council packets for the July 5, 2017 meeting. 2 The City is currently working to put together an inventory of these lands within its borders as there has been some proposed legislation this year to either eliminate this interest altogether or give municipalities the choice to keep them, if desired, by January 1, 2020. QUIT CLAIM DEED KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS that the, City of South Burlington, a Vermont municipality with principal place of business in the City of South Burlington, in the County of Chittenden, and State of Vermont, Grantor, in consideration of ten or more dollars and other good and valuable consideration paid to its full satisfaction by Kelsey Jane Lea and Nicholas B.

CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON ______________________________ By: ___________________________ STATE OF VERMONT COUNTY OF CHITTENDEN, ss At South Burlington, this ________ day of March, 2018, personally appeared ______________________ duly authorized agent of the City of South Burlington, and acknowledged this instrument, by him/her sealed and subscribed, to be his/her free act and deed, and the free act and deed of the City of South Burlington. Before me: _____________________________ Notary Public Commission expires: February 10, 2019 MEMORANDUM To: Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permittees From: Charlie Baker, CCRPC Executive Director Date: February 21, 2017 Re: Proposed minor amendment to Regional Stormwater Agreement In 2016, the Legislature approved, and the Governor signed H.249, an act relating to intermunicipal services. This law (24 V.S.A. § 4345b) allows for municipalities to contract with their regional planning commission for the provision of services after the RPC amends its bylaws to authorize it to enter into intermunicipal service agreements and the agreement is approved by each municipal legislative body that wants to participate in the service. In the spring of 2017, the twelve MS4 permittees in Chittenden County formally adopted an agreement that merged the Regional Stormwater Education Program (RSEP) and the Chittenden County Stream Team (CCST), two regional efforts for which CCRPC has acted as the Lead Agency. Participation in this agreement helps your municipality to meet Minimum Measure #1 (Public Education & Outreach) and Minimum Measure #2 (Public Participation & Involvement) of your MS4 permit. The agreement became effective July 1, 2017 and the combined effort has been implementing the “Rethink Runoff” campaign with dues paid by the MS4 permittees to the CCRPC which then subcontracts out the needed marketing and public engagement activities to qualified entities. Recently, we noticed however that the executed agreement is in conflict with 24 V.S.A. § 4345b(f)(2) because it precludes the CCRPC from charging for indirect costs. That section of statute specifically notes: “A commission shall not use municipal funds or grants provided for regional planning services under this chapter to cover the costs of providing services under any service agreement under this section.” Because the original agreement precluded the charging of indirect costs, CCRPC has been subsidizing this intermunicipal service agreement with other funds. Attached is an edited version of the Regional Stormwater Agreement proposing a minor change to be clear that CCRPC will not be subsidizing this work consistent with state statute. After municipal review, we would like to have this amended agreement executed by all parties prior to July 1, 2018. Please contact me or Dan Albrecht with any questions or concerns. Thank you. 110 West Canal Street, Suite 202 Winooski, VT 05404-2109 802-846-4490 www.ccrpcvt.org CHITTENDEN COUNTY MS4 STORMWATER PROGRAM AGREEMENT EFFECTIVE July 1, 2017 Proposed amendment effective July 1, 2018, see Section 6.c.

Chittenden County MS4 Stormwater Program Agreement, draft FY19 amendment Page 6 of 8 f. Non-appropriation – The obligations of each MS4 Permittee to make payments under this Agreement shall constitute a current expense of the MS4 Permittee and shall not in any way be construed to be a debt of the MS4 Permittee in contravention of any applicable constitutional or statutory limitation or requirement, or the MS4 Permittee’s charter or articles of incorporation; nor shall anything contained in this Agreement constitute a pledge of the credit or tax revenues, funds, or monies of the MS4 Permittee. The decision whether or not to budget and appropriate funds during each fiscal year of the MS4 Permittee is within the discretion of the governing body of the MS4 Permittee. The obligations of a MS4 Permittee under the Agreement are subject to annual appropriations by the governing body of the MS4 Permittee, except as provided by Section 12 of this Agreement. An MS4 Permittee cannot choose to not appropriate funds and then withdraw in a manner that shifts prior contractual obligations on to the others.

those municipalities, listed below, that approve the same by action of their respective voters, as provided in 24 V.S.A. § 4863: Burlington, Colchester, Essex, Milton, Shelburne, South Burlington, Williston, and Winooski. WHEREAS, 24 V.S.A., Chapter 121, provides that the legislative branch of two or more Vermont municipalities may, by agreement, create a joint municipal survey committee to plan for the strengthening of local governments and to promote plans for more efficient and economical operation of local government services within the participating municipalities; and WHEREAS, a joint municipal survey committee, so created, may, pursuant to 24 V.S.A. § 4832, “make surveys and studies and conduct research programs to enable municipalities to make the most efficient use of their powers by cooperation with other municipalities on a basis of mutual advantage, and thereby to provide services and facilities in a manner and pursuant to forms of governmental organization that will accord best with geographic, economic, population and other factors influencing the needs and development of municipalities;” and WHEREAS, 24 V.S.A. § 4861 provides that a joint survey committee may approve the creation of a union municipal district and, upon so doing, shall prepare an agreement for the formation of the district and file a copy with the legislative body, planning commission, and clerk of each participating municipality; and WHEREAS, a joint municipal survey committee, created to plan, study and recommend solutions for an affordable, integrated, and efficient system of cooperative public safety support, specialty and communications services -- and first having sought the consent of the respective legislative bodies of the potential municipal members of the Chittenden County Public Safety Authority -- has approved the creation of a union municipal district to provide public safety dispatch and support services to its Members and others; and WHEREAS, 24 V.S.A. § 4802, requires submission of a proposed agreement to form a union municipal district to appropriate governmental authorities, including the attorney general, who must approve the same, prior to submission to the voters for approval or rejection; and 2 WHEREAS, under 24 V.S.A. § 4883(d), where three or more municipalities are involved in the voting, an affirmative Australian ballot vote by the voters of at least two potential member municipalities is required to enter into an agreement for the formation of a union municipal district, unless the agreement as proposed expressly provides that specific participating municipalities or a minimum number of participating municipalities approve the agreement; and WHEREAS, by the terms hereof, the Chittenden County Public Safety Authority shall be formed only if the voters in three or more municipalities approve this Agreement; NOW, THEREFORE, upon approval of this Agreement by the attorney general and the voters of the required number of municipalities, as referenced above, it is hereby agreed as follows: 1. Name. A union municipal district, known as the CHITTENDEN COUNTY PUBLIC SAFETY AUTHORITY (hereafter “CCPSA” or the “Authority”), shall be formed and become a body politic and corporate, with the powers incident to a public corporation under the laws of the State of Vermont, and with such other powers, duties and responsibilities as are set forth in this Agreement. 2. Purpose. The purpose of the CCPSA is to provide its members with an affordable, integrated, efficient system of public safety communications services. To that end, the Authority seeks to protect public health, safety and welfare, provide sufficient qualified and trained communications staff to support and facilitate rapid responses by public safety personnel when emergency situations arise, and otherwise meet the dispatch needs of its Members and the public. To improve response times, the Authority intends to operate as a “Public Safety Answering Point,” as defined by the Vermont Enhanced 9-1-1 Board. 3. Duration. CCPSA shall be established as of the effective date of the affirmative vote to enter into this Agreement by the requisite number of municipalities and continue to exist in perpetuity unless dissolved by its members pursuant to 24 V.S.A. § 4863 and the provisions hereof. 3 4. Powers. (a) The CCPSA shall possess, pursuant to the provisions of 24 V.S.A., Chapter 121, and other applicable provisions of state law, all of the power and authority available to or vested in a union municipal district, including all powers, rights, privileges and immunities incident to public corporations, together with all powers reasonably implied in or incident to the exercise of those powers. The authority granted to the CCPSA by this Agreement is supplementary to any other powers heretofore or hereafter granted by statute for the same or similar purposes. (b) In furtherance of its purposes, the Authority shall have full power to hold and keep invested, or expend for its purposes, such monies as are appropriated to it by its member municipalities, to establish and adopt budgets, to borrow money and issue evidence of indebtedness, to establish sinking funds, to charge members for services, to establish capital reserve funds, to accept gifts, grants, and bequests, to make payments in lieu of taxes, to contract with banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions, as well as with host communities, private businesses, non-profit corporations and other governments for the provision of services or otherwise. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the Authority’s power to receive, invest and use fiscal resources to advance the purposes of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that such powers could be exercised by any of its member municipalities pursuant to law. The foregoing sentence includes the power to borrow money and issue evidence of indebtedness as provided by 24 V.S.A. chapter 53 (indebtedness) and other provisions of law authorizing general obligations or revenue debt, including applicable provisions of 10 V.S.A. chapter 12 (Vermont Economic Development Authority) and 24 V.S.A. chapter 119 (Municipal Bond Bank). 5. Definitions. As used in this Agreement: (a) "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Chittenden County Public Safety Authority. (b) “CCPSA” or "Authority" means the Chittenden County Public Safety Authority, a union municipal district. (c) “Director” means the designated or duly appointed representative of a Member, or the duly appointed representative of the Contracting Municipalities, described herein. The Directors shall sit on the Board of the CCPSA, represent the Members 4 or Contracting Municipalities, and collectively have authority over and responsibility for the conduct and operations of the CCPSA. (d) "Members" means those municipalities whose admission to and participation in the Authority has been authorized pursuant to Section 22 of this Agreement. (e) “Contracting Municipalities” means those municipalities or public safety agencies that have not been admitted to this Authority pursuant to Section 22 of this Agreement, but that have contracted for public safety communications services with the Authority. (f) "Person" means any natural person, corporation, municipality, the State of Vermont or any department, agency or subdivision of the state, and any partnership, unincorporated association, or other legal entity. 6. Board of Directors. (a) All power and authority of the CCPSA shall be exercised by the Board, acting by majority vote of the Directors. Meetings of the Board shall be subject to the requirements of the Vermont Open Meeting Law and a quorum of the Board shall exist when more than fifty percent of the Directors are in attendance. (b) Composition; Delegation. Each member of the Authority shall be represented by a Director. Each Director shall be the municipal manager or in the absence of a manager form of government, the mayor of the Member, or the municipal manager or mayoral designee. In the absence of a municipal manager or mayor, the legislative body of each Member shall appoint a qualified person to serve as a Director. Each Director, acting through the Board and subject to the limitations set forth herein, shall have full power and authority to make decisions and take action to ensure the effective provision of public safety dispatch and support services within the region covered by CCPSA without seeking further authorization from the legislative body of the specific municipality that he or she represents.

On at least a monthly basis, the Treasurer shall review the accounts of the CCPSA, and shall have the authority to approve disbursal of all payments of the Authority, and report to the Board on each review at the next meeting of the Board, including the total amount of each warrant approved with individual vendor payments, and notations of any payments not approved. The Treasurer, with the approval of the Board, may appoint an assistant treasurer, who shall not be a Director. The Treasurer or the Board may withdraw any appointment to the position of assistant treasurer at any time.

The fiscal year of the Authority shall commence on July 1 and end on June 30 of each year. 16. Budget appropriation and assessment. (a) For the first two years of each new Member’s participation in the Authority as a recipient of dispatch services, the Board may vote to allow an alternative budget process which shall substitute for steps (b), (c) and (d), below, as follows: the budget, subject to the approval of the Board, may consist of any funding made available to the Authority from Members and other sources, including but not limited to funding new Members had budgeted to operate their own separate dispatch services, in addition to any funds made available through steps (b), (c), and (d). The details of this process are set forth in Appendix A. (b) Proposed budget. (1) Annually on or before the first Monday in October, the Board shall prepare a budget for the Authority for the next fiscal year, which shall include an estimate of the revenue of the Authority from fees and other sources, revenues from each member’s assessment, and expenses for the next fiscal year, including operating and planning expenses, debt service, payments due on long-term contracts, payments due to any sinking funds for the retirement of indebtedness, payments due to any capital reserve funds, debt service reserve funds, operating reserve funds, and payments due to any other funds established by the Authority. The budget shall be in such form as deemed most useful and desirable by the Board, and shall be so arranged to show budgeted income and expenditures for the upcoming and current fiscal year and budgeted and estimated or actual income and expenditures from the preceding two fiscal years. (2) The Board shall warn an informational meeting of the voters of the Members on or before the second Friday in October each year for the purpose of presenting the 9 proposed budget and inviting discussion thereon. The informational meeting shall be held within the boundaries of one of the Members and shall be warned by a notice published in a newspaper of general circulation serving each Member at least 10 calendar days prior to the meeting. The notice shall contain a summary of the proposed budget, including the specific amount proposed as the Authority’s total expenses, and instruction on where a copy of the full budget may be inspected. The legislative body of each Member shall be sent a copy of the notice, together with a copy of the full proposed budget at least 10 calendar days prior to such meeting. (c) Approval of Proposed Budget. (1) Following the informational meeting provided for in subsection (b)(2), above, and no later than the first Monday in November, the Board shall review the proposed budget in light of comments received at the meeting, and shall thereupon vote on the proposed budget to be presented to the legislative bodies of each Member for approval or disapproval pursuant to subsection (c)(2), below, with or without changes. (2) Within 30 days of the endorsement of the proposed budget by the Board, the legislative body of each Member shall act to approve or disapprove the proposed budget. The budget shall be approved if affirmatively voted by a majority of the legislative bodies of the Members and the Director for the Contracting Municipalities, whose vote on the proposed budget shall be included for the purpose of determining whether an affirmative vote of a majority has been achieved. Each Member and the Director representing the Contracting Municipalities shall be entitled to one vote. (3) Notwithstanding subsection (c)(2), above, if the budget for a future fiscal year is proposed to increase more than one and one half percent (1.5%) in excess of the Consumer Price Index for Urban Areas (CPI-U), or a successor index, over the current fiscal year budget, voting on the budget shall be weighted as follows: There shall be 100 votes with 51 votes constituting a majority. Votes shall be allocated to each Member and the Director representing the Contracting Municipalities according to their two year average call volume allocation in FY 2018, three year average call volume allocation in FY 2019 and thereafter until the long term contribution funding formula is implemented, in which case the 100 votes shall be allocated on the same basis as the long term contribution formula, as set forth in Appendix A. The Director representing the Contracting Municipalities shall vote the shares of all of the Contracting Municipalities together. 10 (4) In the event that the legislative body of a Member or the Director representing the Contracting Municipalities fails to approve a proposed budget, the legislative body or Director shall file with the Board a written statement identifying those specific budget items to which objection is made and any modifications sought. Failure to file such a written statement of objections within 30 days of disapproval by the legislative body or a Member or the Director representing the Contracting Municipalities shall be deemed approval of the budget. Failure by the legislative body of a Member or the Director representing the Contracting Municipalities to act to approve or disapprove the budget within the 30 day period referenced in (c)(2), above, shall likewise be deemed approval of the budget. (5) If the annual budget for any fiscal year is for any reason not approved as of the beginning of that fiscal year, the District shall implement a budget, and levy assessments according to Section 17, whereby the expenses, net of member assessments, do not exceed those for the immediately preceding fiscal year until a new budget is approved. (6) Notwithstanding any disapproval of the proposed budget by failure to obtain a majority of affirmative votes from the legislative bodies of the Members and the Director representing Contracting Municipalities, the Authority shall be obligated to pay the principal of and interest on bonds, notes, and other evidence of indebtedness of the District and to satisfy any other obligations relating thereto and to pay obligations under any long-term contracts. To the extent provided by the terms of such bonds, notes, or other evidence of indebtedness, or long-term contracts, each member municipality shall be obligated to pay its share of such indebtedness and obligations under long-term contracts, but only after CCPSA first uses all undesignated fund balances to satisfy such indebtedness and obligations. Unless otherwise provided in a cost sharing formula ratified by all Members, a municipality's share of indebtedness shall be determined by the Board and shall be in an amount proportionate to the actual or estimated calls for service generated by that municipality as determined by the Board. (d) Budget adoption, appropriations, and assessment. (1) Annually on or before the third Monday in December, the Board shall vote to adopt the budget approved by majority vote of the member legislative bodies and the Contracting Municipalities Director. Prior to such vote, the Board shall have authority to amend the budget on its own motion or in response to a written statement of objections filed pursuant to subsection (c)(4), above. 11 (1) Once a budget is adopted, the Board shall notify the Members within 15 days and assess each member for its share of the sums so appropriated, less revenues anticipated from the Members and other sources, and adopt a schedule designating when such assessments are due and payable by the Members. (2) The Members shall include the Authority's assessment as a separate line item on their annual budgets so as to disclose each Member’s financial contribution to the Authority. (3) After adoption of the budget for the ensuing fiscal year, the Authority shall deliver to each Member an invoice for its share of the net cost of operating the Authority, with payments due on September 1 and November 1 of each year. 17. Cost-sharing formula. (a) The Authority shall have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that defines cost-sharing among member municipalities. The MOU is attached to and made a part of this Agreement as Appendix A. (b) Following the creation of CCPSA, the MOU shall be signed by the chair of the legislative body for each Member (hereafter referred to as “ratification”) following approval by the legislative body, prior to that Member receiving service. (c) If a Member does not ratify the cost sharing formula at its initial opportunity, that member shall not receive services from the Authority, nor shall Section 20 apply to the Member, until such time as that Member ratifies the MOU as described above. (d) If a Member does not ratify the MOU within 24 months of request by the Authority, the Member shall lose voting rights on the Board, until such time as it ratifies the MOU; if a Member does not ratify the MOU within four years of voting to become a member, the Member shall cease to be a Member and shall be required to rejoin the Authority under sections 22(b) and 22(c). (e) A process for amending the MOU shall be defined in the MOU. 18. Non Payment or Disputes. (a) Non Payment (1) If any Member shall fail to pay when due any assessment against it by the Authority, it shall incur, as a penalty, such additional charge as the Board 12 determines to be reasonable. The Board may adopt a schedule of charges that includes penalty assessments for non-payment. However, no such charge shall exceed five percent of any unpaid assessment plus interest. Interest shall be charged at a rate equal to one percent per month or fraction thereof, for the first three months, and thereafter one and one-half percent per month or fraction thereof, from the due date of the assessment. (2) Payment in arrears over 60 days shall be grounds for suspension or termination of service to a Member. Prior to suspending or terminating service, the Authority shall provide a delinquent Member at least 30 days advanced written notice, via certified mail. (b) Disputes (1) As further described below, disputes between Members and CCPSA shall be settled by way of the following process and in the following order of precedence: a) the Public Safety Communications Director; b) the CCPSA Board; c) negotiation, d) mediation; and e) arbitration. (2) Should a Member dispute its assessment, it shall pay its assessed amount as outlined in this Agreement and in Appendix A. Any changes in the assessment made as a result of settlement of the dispute shall be remedied by including funding necessary for reimbursement in the next budget process, subject to the timeline described in Section 16, above. (3) All claims or disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any assessment or action of the Authority or any action of a Member or its Director shall first be referred to the Public Safety Communications Director for resolution. Any decision or action of the Public Safety Communications Director may be appealed by the aggrieved party to the Board, by written notice of appeal filed with the Director within 30 days of the date of decision. Failure to appeal a decision of the Public Safety Communications Director within 30 days of the date of decision shall render the Director’s decision final and binding. (4) In the event of a timely appeal to the Board, applicable provisions of the Municipal Administrative Procedures Act, 24 V.S.A., Chapter 36, for the conduct of a contested hearing, shall apply. Appeals from a final decision of the Board shall be taken by written notice of appeal filed with the Board within 30 days of the date that a final decision is rendered. Such appeals shall proceed as provided in subsection (b)(5), below. Failure to appeal a decision of the Board within 30 days of the date of decision shall render the Board’s decision final and binding. 13 (5) In the event of a timely appeal from a final decision of the Board, the parties involved in the dispute, which may include the Board or its representative, shall first negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve their differences. Should negotiations fail, any party may give notice to the other party (or parties) of intent to require mediation. The claim or dispute shall thereafter be mediated within sixty (60) days of said notice using such mediation procedures as the parties may agree upon. Should mediation fail, the dispute shall be decided by binding arbitration, held in Chittenden County, Vermont, by a single arbitrator to be mutually determined by the parties. In the event that the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, then each party shall select a single arbitrator and together those two arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator, who together shall constitute an arbitration panel to hear and decide the matter in dispute. The Vermont Arbitration Act, 12 V.S.A., Chapter 192, shall apply to any arbitration between the parties. Should any claim or dispute be resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator shall have discretion to award the substantially prevailing party, in addition to any other remedy, recovery of its costs and fees, including reasonable attorney fees, to be paid by the non-prevailing party or parties. 19. Limitations of appropriations. (a) Appropriations made by the Board through the budget process, as defined in section 16 of this Agreement shall be expended only for funding allocated for items outlined in the budget; however, by majority vote of Directors, the budget may be amended from time to time to transfer funds between or among such budget items. (b) The amount of any deficit at the end of each fiscal year shall be included in the next proposed operating budget and paid out of the appropriations for that budget year. Any unencumbered balance may be placed in a designated fund balance, reserve fund, used for cash flow to avoid short term borrowing and cover expected operating expenses (to the extent they are anticipated to be incurred and paid prior to payments received from municipal Members), or returned to the Members, at the exclusive option and discretion of the Board. 20. Assessment. (a) The cost of debt service or of payments under a long-term contract shall be included in the annual budget of the Authority, and shall be allocated among the Members as provided in section 17 of this Agreement for the calculation of the annual budget assessment. 14 (b) The applicable provisions of 24 V.S.A. chapter 53 (indebtedness) or other enabling law under which debt is incurred or long-term contracts authorized shall apply to the issuance of bonds or other evidence of indebtedness by the Authority and for that purpose the Authority shall be deemed a "municipal corporation," the Board shall be deemed a "legislative branch," and the Treasurer shall be deemed a "municipal treasurer" within the meaning of that chapter. (c) Bonds or other evidence of indebtedness and long-term capital contracts shall be signed by the Treasurer and Chair of the Board. 21. Withdrawal of a municipality. (a) Withdrawal prior to bonding by the Authority Subject to the provisions of subsection (a)(1) of this section and the requirements of 24 V.S.A. § 4863, a Member may vote to withdraw from this Agreement in the same manner as it votes to adopt the Agreement if one year has elapsed since the Authority has become a body politic and corporate and the Authority has not voted to bond or otherwise borrow for construction and improvements. (1) The “financial obligations” of a withdrawing Member, as used in 24 V.S.A. § 4863, shall include a proportionate share of all ongoing costs and assessments of the Authority, including all costs arising under long term contracts, until the withdrawing Member has entered into a written agreement satisfactory to the Authority Board, and in a form acceptable to the Authority’s counsel, that at a minimum obligates the withdrawing Member as follows: (i) to pay its budgeted assessment for the first full fiscal year following the vote of withdrawal; (ii) to pay its proportionate share, based upon its assessment for the next full fiscal year following its withdrawal vote, of the defense costs and any money damages judgment rendered in legal action brought against the Authority arising or accruing in any year during which it was a Member of the Authority, to the extent that those costs and damages are not otherwise covered by insurance or liability indemnification; (iii) to pay its share, based upon its assessment for the next full fiscal year following its withdrawal, of all unbudgeted costs and expenses of the Authority arising out of the activities of the Authority during the withdrawing Member's term of Membership which have not been otherwise allocated to the Member through the 15 budgeting and assessment process, regardless of when such costs and expenses may be discovered; and (iv) to pay all of these additional costs in installments at such times and in such amounts as required by the Board or, at the option of the withdrawing Member, in a lump sum. (2) Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the authority of the CCPSA and the withdrawing Member to enter into an agreement containing such other terms and conditions for the settlement of the withdrawing Member’s financial obligations as are otherwise reasonable and consistent with law. (b) Withdrawal after bonding by the Authority. (1) As provided in 24 V.S.A. § 4863, Members are prohibited from voting to withdraw from the Authority after the Authority has voted to bond for construction and improvements. Notwithstanding this prohibition, Members may vote to “Withdraw from Receiving Service” from CCPSA following a bond vote. A Member that affirmatively votes to Withdraw from Receiving Service shall enter into a written agreement consistent with subsection 21(a)(1)(i)-(iv) and, additionally, such Member shall: (i) continue to pay its share of all debts incurred by the Authority for the remaining terms of all bonds and capital contracts in existence at the time when the vote to withdraw was taken (although its share of debt or capital contract costs may be paid in a lump sum at the request of the Member); (ii) lose voting rights on the Board immediately following the approved vote of Withdrawal from Receiving Service; and (iii) cease to be responsible for liabilities or responsibilities related to operations after completion of the steps outlined under subsection 21(a). (2 ) After all requirements under subsections 21(a) and 21(b)(1) have been satisfied, the Member that has authorized and obtained an approved Withdrawal from Receiving Service vote shall have to no further obligations to the Authority. 22. Admission of municipalities. (a) Provided their respective legislative bodies approve this Agreement and vote to warn an annual or special meeting to enter into an agreement for the formation of the Authority, the municipalities of Burlington, Colchester, Essex, Milton, 16 Shelburne, South Burlington, Williston and Winooski shall hold citizen votes on initial Membership on Town Meeting Day 2018. Membership shall be determined by a majority of voters in each municipality. The Authority shall be created if and only if voters in three (3) or more of these municipalities approve Membership. After this initial opportunity, new Members shall only be admitted through the process outlined in section (b) below. (b) The Board, following the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the Member legislative bodies, may authorize the inclusion of additional Member municipalities in the Authority upon such terms and conditions as it shall deem to be fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Authority, and additionally subject to the ratification of the MOU as outlined in Section 17. (c) Any Board-authorized additional Member municipality shall comply thereafter with the approval procedures specified in 24 V.S.A., Chapter 121, as applicable. If a majority of the Directors of the Board authorize an additional Member municipality, and those voters present and voting at a duly warned meeting of such municipality vote to approve this Agreement and the terms and conditions for admission, the Secretary of the Authority shall confirm the result of the vote with the clerk of that municipality, by receipt of certification or other appropriate means, and thereafter the municipality shall be a Member. 23. Dissolution of the Authority. (a)(1) Upon the affirmative vote of Directors representing at least two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast on behalf of all Members and comprising at least two-thirds of the Directors present, the Board may prepare a plan of dissolution for submission to the voters of the municipal Members of the Authority at meetings of the municipal Members of the Authority duly warned for such purposes. (2) If a majority of the municipal Members of the Authority, authorized by the actions of the voters of municipal Members of the Authority, vote to dissolve the Authority, the Authority shall cease to conduct its affairs except insofar as may be necessary to complete a plan of dissolution and to conclude its affairs. (3) The Board of Directors shall cause a notice of the plan of dissolution to be mailed to each known creditor of the Authority and to the Secretary of State. (b) The plan of dissolution shall be developed using the process outlined in section 21 of this Agreement, and in Appendix A, to the maximum extent feasible and at a minimum shall: 17 (1) identify and value all assets of the Authority; (2) identify all liabilities of the Authority, including contract obligation; (3) determine how the assets of the Authority shall be liquidated and how the liabilities and obligations of the Authority shall be paid, to include assessments against municipalities of the Authority; and (4) specify that any assets remaining after payment of all liabilities shall be apportioned and distributed among the Members according to the same basic formula used in apportioning the costs of the Authority to the Members. (c) When the plan of dissolution has been fully implemented, the Board shall certify that fact to the Members whereupon this Agreement and the Authority shall be terminated. 24. Amendment of the Authority Agreement. (a) This Agreement may be amended in whole or in part. Any proposed amendment shall first be adopted upon the affirmative vote of Directors representing at least two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast on behalf of all Directors. Any meeting for the consideration of an amendment shall be warned by the delivery to each Director, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the meeting, of a notice stating the time, place and date of such meeting and including a full text of the proposed amendment or amendments. (b) If such a proposed amendment is adopted by the Board, it shall then be submitted to the legislative bodies of all of the Members. Such proposed amendment shall become effective upon its adoption by a majority of the legislative bodies of the Members. Member legislative bodies that do not vote on a proposed amendment within sixty (60) days from receipt of the amendment from the Authority shall be deemed to have approved the amendment. (c) No amendment shall substantially impair the rights of the holders of any bonds, notes or other evidence of indebtedness or substantially affect any obligations under long-term contracts of the Authority then outstanding or in effect, or the rights of the Authority to procure the means for payment, continuation, or termination of such contracts. 18 25. Ratification. (a) This Agreement shall take effect upon the approval by the voters of three or more initially participating municipalities, at their annual meeting as outlined in Section 22. (b) The legislative bodies of the Members may transfer responsibility for public safety communications services in their respective communities as the CCPSA is prepared to assume responsibility for and operate such services and, once transferred, the Members shall cease independently providing public safety communications services, except to the extent approved by the Authority. Pursuant to the affirmative vote of the voters in each of the following municipalities on March 7, 2018, the Agreement to Create a Union Municipal District to be known as the “Chittenden County Public Safety Authority” is hereby approved, to consist of those municipalities executing this Agreement, together with any additional municipalities lawfully joining thereafter. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ARBITRATION Applicable to All Parties to this Agreement I understand that this Agreement To Create the Chittenden County Public Safety Authority contains an agreement to arbitrate. After signing this document, I understand that the municipality for which I have been authorized to sign will not be able to bring a lawsuit concerning any dispute that may arise that is covered by the arbitration agreement, unless it involves a question of constitutional or civil rights. Instead, I agree, on behalf of the municipality for which I sign, to submit any such dispute to an impartial arbitrator, as provided herein.

Introduction. This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), appended to the Agreement to Create the Chittenden County Public Safety Authority as Appendix A, describes the agreed cost- sharing mechanism among Members. Each Member shall separately ratify this MOU as a condition of receiving dispatch and other services from the Chittenden County Public Safety Authority (the “CCPSA”). Terms used in this MOU shall have the same meaning attributed to them in the Agreement. B. Initial Contributions. There is an Initial Contributions Phase which shall commence upon the effective date of the Agreement and continue until all Members have received dispatch service from CCPSA for two (2) full fiscal years. During the Initial Contribution Phase: (1) Member communities shall contribute those financial resources budgeted by their communities to provide dispatch operations, plus any additional funds a Member is willing to contribute for the benefit of CCPSA. (2) Since not all Members presently have separate and distinct dispatch budgets, the CCPSA budget during this Initial Contribution Phase shall be substantially comprised of discretionary contributions by Members. For Fiscal year, 2015-2016, these costs have been developed, agreed to and disclosed as Direct Costs of Dispatch by members of the Joint Survey Committee for the Chittenden County Public Safety Authority, on behalf of their member communities. (3) The Members anticipate that during this Initial Contribution Phase the CCPSA budget will grow annually at the approximate rate of dispatch budget growth in the Member municipalities. (4) It is further anticipated that for up to the first two years in which dispatch services are provided by CCPSA, costs will be funded from already approved municipal budgets. If all Members have not received service for two full years after the initial two year period of CCPSA dispatch service operations, subsequent initial funding shall be budgeted by the CCPSA Board in a manner such that any increase in a Member’s initial contribution in comparison to its current dispatch budget will be approximately equal to the average increase in Member municipal dispatch budgets generally. Any percentage increase shall be applied equally to all Members during the extended initial funding period. Appendix A Page 1 (5) Any deficits that accrue during the Initial Contributions Phase prior to the implementation of the Long Term Contributions shall be equitably apportioned among those Members to which CCPSA provided dispatch services during the Initial Contributions Phase. C. Long Term Contributions. 1) Contribution Formula After the Initial Contributions Phase (i.e., when all Members have received dispatch service from CCPSA for two (2) full fiscal years), the Long Term Contributions formula set forth below shall commence and continue unless and until modified by the Board. (a) Step 1: Following the first one (1) full fiscal year in which all Members have received dispatch service from CCPSA, determine net costs of the CCPSA, aggregating all CCPSA operating expenses, capital expenses, capital reserve contributions, grant revenues, public safety answering point (PSAP) revenues, contract revenues, excess initial contribution repayments and any CCPSA deficits or liabilities. (b) Step 2: Determine the three-year rolling average of calls for service in each Member community (regardless of whether the Member received service from CCPSA during that period) expressed as a percentage: i. “Calls for service” in member communities shall be defined as: Calls for any emergency service agency (including non-municipal agencies serving the community) in a community including police, fire, and rescue services. Calls for service shall be counted per agency responding, and not per incident, shall include agencies responding to mutual aid calls, and shall include any call that causes a public safety employee to take an action or expend agency resources, whether agency-initiated or citizen-initiated. ii. To avoid a charge back through the County tax, the Chittenden County Sheriff’s Department shall not pay for calls. (c) Step 3: Apportion Step 1 net costs based on Step 2 percentages, as defined above. For example: If the CCPSA’s net cost for a fiscal year after the Initial Contributions Phase is $3.1M and the three-year rolling average of calls totals 143,652, and the Town of Colchester has 16,373 average annual calls for service during the same time period, Colchester’s proportional share of the net costs would be 11.4%, or $353,328. 2) Reimbursement for Excess Initial Contributions Member communities that provide contributions toward startup and operating expenses beyond their base Initial Contributions (i.e., “excess initial contributions”), shall be entitled to reimbursement from those communities that did not make Excess Initial Contributions. Such reimbursement may occur over a five to ten year period, based on an individual Appendix A Page 2 Member community’s contributions and all Members’ shares, utilizing the steps described below. (a) Step 1: Determine aggregate Excess Initial Contributions of all Members. (1)Excess Initial Capital Contributions may include contributions of “capital equipment.” i. Capital equipment shall include, but is not limited to, the following: Computer aided dispatch software purchase and license fees, including alteration thereof to serve more than one member of regional dispatch in linking to 911; GIS; law enforcement records management; fire records management; station alerting; NCIC/VCIC and related databases; voice logging and recording systems; facility improvements; electrical, telecom or IT wiring; telecom equipment; furniture; servers and IT network infrastructure; radio equipment; PSAP equipment, including design or engineering costs related to any of the above. ii. To qualify for reimbursement under this section, the contributed capital equipment must have had more than a one year useful lifespan or a value greater than $5,000 at the time of purchase. Multiple single items contributed contemporaneously must have an aggregate value of more than $5,000. iii. Capital equipment contributions must have been made and the equipment must be in use by regional dispatch before long term funding contributions by Members are required. iv. Capital equipment purchased prior to July 1, 2017 shall not be eligible for contribution. All equipment purchased prior to such date which is usable and desired by CCPSA shall be contributed as a part of local dispatch transition at no charge or cost to CCPSA. (2) Qualifying excess contributions are contributions that exceed (1) the municipally budgeted operating costs or (2) assessments paid by the Member municipality as Initial Contributions. Such contributions may include, but are not limited to, funding earmarked for new CCPSA dispatch resources such as managers, trainers, an executive director, or IT staff or for specific operating costs such as rent, utilities, consulting and other related costs and fees. (3) Credit for making Excess Initial Contributions must be requested by the contributing Member within 90 days of the creation of CCPSA (if the contribution was made prior to the creation of CCPSA) or within the 60 days prior to the contribution, if it is made after the expenditure and following the creation of CCPSA. CCPSA’s Board shall consider such requests and provide written notice to the contributing Member regarding eligibility for reimbursement under this subsection within 60 days of such notice. In the event Appendix A Page 3 that a Member is aggrieved by a determination of the CCPSA Board regarding the eligibility of a contribution for reimbursement, the aggrieved Member may appeal to the Board within 30 days of the date of such notice. If an appeal is submitted, the Board shall hold a hearing on the appeal as provided in the Agreement. (b) Step 2: Allocate the aggregate Excess Initial Contributions among all Members based on a three year rolling average of call percentages to determine the first year’s net costs. (c) Step 3: Determine payback for, or contributions required to pay others back for Excess Initial Contributions based on actual contributions of such resources, as designated and acknowledged by the CCPSA Board. (d) Step 4: Combine formula funding with payback of excess initial contributions to determine net funding, and determine payback period such that reimbursement occurs over the shortest possible time without triggering the “Smoothing Formula,” described below. Reimbursement for Excess Initial Contributions shall be accomplished in ten years or less. 3) Smoothing Formula Notwithstanding the above, if the Long Term Contribution formula, after accounting for reimbursement for Excess Initial Contributions, will increase any Member’s contribution requirement (including operating and capital expenses) by 5% or more in the first year such formula is employed, the Members agree: (a) The Long Term Contribution formula shall be implemented over a period not to exceed six years; the goal being to implement the formula in as short a period as possible, so that the impact of the formula on any single Member community will increase its contributions by no more than 4.9% annually. (b) This Smoothing Formula shall only apply to Member communities for which CCPSA was providing all dispatch services in the year before the formula is implemented. (c) For all eligible communities, the following steps shall apply. i. Step 1: Determine whether net funding plus reimbursement of Excess Initial Contributions for the upcoming fiscal year will cause any Member community’s budgeted contribution to increase by 5% or more. ii. Step 2: If any Member community would pay an increase of 5% or more in the first year of transition from Initial Contribution to Long Term Contribution, to the extent reasonably practicable and consistent with the limitations set forth Appendix A Page 4 above, the Long Term Contribution formula shall be adjusted as needed to modify the year-over-year increase in budgeted contribution to no more than 4.9%. However, this Step shall not be implemented if it causes additional Member communities to incur an increase of more than 4.9%. iii. Step 3: When the Smoothing Formula may be implemented, calculate each affected Members’ adjusted funding obligations by: (a) Converting the increase in contribution to a dollar amount; (b) Determining the percentage of calls in all Member communities, excluding other Member communities subject to smoothing, by totaling calls in such communities. (c) Multiply the figure derived from (a) above by (b) above to determine the financial contribution of each non-smoothing Member community to the formula. (d) Add smoothing funding to net funding to obtain adjusted funding D. MOU Adoption and Amendment. (1) This MOU shall be approved by an affirmative vote of the majority of the CCPSA Board. (2) Each community wishing to be a Member shall, by action of its legislative body, ratify this MOU before the Member community may receive services from the CCPSA. (3) Following initial adoption and ratification, this MOU may be amended by an affirmative vote of the majority of the CCPSA board, subject to ratification by the legislative bodies of those Members who comprise said majority. All amendments or modifications to this MOU shall be in writing.
