Please address the Chair and not other members of the public, staff, or presenters. 4. Please abide by any time limits that have been set. Time limits will be used to insure everyone is heard and there is sufficient time for the Council to conduct all the business on the agenda. 5. The Chair will make a reasonable effort to allow everyone to speak once before speakers address the Council a second time. 6. The Chair may ask that discussion be limited to the Councilors once the public input has been heard. 7. Please do not interrupt when others are speaking. 8. Please do not repeat the points made by others, except to briefly say whether you agree or disagree with others views. 9. Please use the outside hallway for side conversations.

East Terrace/Spear Street Neighborhood Discussion:  Ms. Nowak noted the proposed resolution will not be addressed at this meeting as the City  Attorney is researching some issues relating to fair housing.  The Council then recognized Mr. Soudars, the representative of one of the property owners.   He said he manages 5 houses on the street and tries to address the neighborhood issues.  He  takes care of lawns and property upkeep.  He indicated he is willing to work with a task force.  Mr. Shaw asked if there are differences between the properties managed in Burlington and  South Burlington.  Mr. Soudars said there are no problems in Burlington, and this is the first  problem he has dealt with.  He noted his vehicle was ticketed when he was there to deal with a  frozen pipe issue.  Ms. Nowak asked if Mr. Soudars is aware of the limitation on the number of “unrelated people  living in a unit.”  Mr. Soudars said the owner is out of the country.  Ms. Nowak said that when  Mr. Soudars speaks with him to tell him that if there are 6 unrelated people living in any of the  houses he owns, there is a violation.  CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 3  Residents of the East Terrace/Spear Street area were then invited to address the Council.  Rep. Head: Noted the changes in the neighborhood in the 23 years she has lived there.  34%  of the housing is now rentals, occupied by students and young adults.  There have been some  good relations but also concerns, especially parking and noise.  She felt this was worthy of City  Council attention.  Ms. Selkirk: She and her husband rent one of the houses on East Terrace.  Their landlord is  on the premises. She noted many more renters over the past few years.  During a snowstorm,  cars were parked on the sidewalk, and there are often 3 or 4 cars blocking sidewalks.  Garages  have been turned into living space.  One student resident told her she “had to get used to living  in a college town.”  Mrs. Damm:  The students next door are “messy but OK.”  She misses the young families with  children growing up in the neighborhood.  Ms. Nowak noted she had spoken with a mortgage person who advised that one house that has  been rented has been purchased by a family.  J. St. Hilaire:   Has many friends among the renters.  Is willing to serve on the task force.  S. Quest: Property companies are willing to pay more than young families can.  When  older homeowners die, their homes are being sold to be rented.  Mr. Wah: Asked why the city allows homes to be converted into 6 bedrooms.  The city  shouldn’t give permits for converting garages into a bedroom.  Each of the bedrooms is rented  for over $700 a month.  He felt owners should be taxed based on the income from their  properties.  Mr. Conner: Explained that the Planning Department asks for a description of the project to  be done.  Two parking spaces per rental unit is a requirement.  Ms. Dooley: Noted the problem with affordable housing in the city.  She also noted there  used to be as many as 70 children on the street, but the houses have now become “cash cows,”  and young families lose the opportunity to buy houses.  If they could buy a house now, they  would have to spend a great deal of money to re‐convert them from the rentals.  Ms. Dumas: The family near them was replaced by renters who park where and when they  shouldn’t.  There are rude comments.  Motor bikes go up and down the street all day.  There  are at least 6 renters next door, and one car is on the lawn or sidewalk.  The snow plow has to  go around them.  CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 4  Mr. Betz: Asked how long 4 unrelated people have been allowed in a home.  Mr. Conner  said more than 6 years ago.  Ms. Dooley estimated the year 2000.  Mr. Betz asked if there have  been any prosecutions for violators.  Mr. Conner said staff communicates with owners but to  date hasn’t taken anyone to court.  Mr. Betz suggested talking to Will Ward who does code  enforcement for the City of Burlington.  He also noted that it is cheaper for students to rent in  town than to live in University housing, and this will be a problem as long as that situation  exists.  Ms. Nowak reminded people that owners do have a right to convert a property to a rental  property, but they have to live within the law.  She said the task force process will be an open  one and will include people from both sides of the issue.  She stressed the need to look at what  is legally allowed.    Council members were OK with setting up a time to begin the task force process.  Mr.  Chittenden said he is willing to represent the Council on that task force.  7. UVM Housing and Planning Presentation by UVM Provost Annie Stevens:  Ms. Nowak noted the Council’s concern with the 3 UVM dorms that are coming down and the  possibility of more pressure on South Burlington housing.  Ms. Stevens reviewed UVM’s master housing plan and showed a chart of how the plan was put  together.  The major assumption is that 60% of students will be housed on campus.  All first and  second year students will be required to live on campus; there will also be campus housing for  transfer students and international students.  Some of the major principles of the housing plan include a better alignment between housing  types and the different stages of student development, providing more and better community  spaces to enhance the vitality of campus life, and “knitting” the campus together with a “Green  Mountain Walkway.”  Ms . Stevens said they recognize that “one size housing” doesn’t fit all.   There will also be a focus on “living/learning communities with more opportunities for co‐ curricular and social interaction.  The major findings of the housing study included:   a. Location of central campus housing is highly prized  b. Sophomores prefer Redstone Campus  c. Juniors and seniors have a strong preference for “downtown living”  d. Different housing types have different attractions  e. Trinity Campus is not appropriate for most undergraduates  CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 5  f. Residential living communities are will regarded  Some of the recommendations of the study include:  a. Enhance the Green Mountain Walkway  b. Demolish obsolete buildings  c. Focus on the first year  d. Enhance existing housing  e. Build on the successful sophomore experience  Ms. Stevens said that the next steps include: community input, replacing the 3 dorms that are  coming down, and development of a final document.  Ms. Stevens then showed the site plan for the proposed first year student housing and dining  service.  It will contain 450‐695 beds and dining for 500.  There will be handicapped parking and  limited student parking.  It will connect to the UVM transportation system.  Occupancy is  anticipated on 1 August 2017.  Ms. Stevens also showed the site for the new math/science/technology building.  Temporary housing will be needed for the 391 students who will be displaced when the 3  dorms come down.  120 of them will be housed at Quarry Hill, 110‐120 in one wing of the  Sheraton Hotel, and the balance in reconfigured campus housing.  There will be bus loop for  students living at the Sheraton. The 3 dorms will come down this summer, and ground will be  broken for the new dorm in the fall.  Ms. Quest asked if UVM is still buying houses on Spear Street.  Ms. Kingsbury said they would  consider any houses that are on their list, but there is no priority for UVM at this time.  Ms. Nowak asked what the philosophy of responsibility is to communities in which students live  since 40% of UVM students live off‐campus.  Ms. Stevens said they try to educate students  about a good quality of life and of being respectful.  There is an office that works with  neighbors and students.  8. Approve Recommended Concepts for Garden Street and Dumont Park Design:  Ms. Blanchard said the city is about 1/3 of the way through the process.  Mr. Rafael, consultant for the projects, then reviewed the process for choosing a design.  He  showed the existing site conditions, including the wetland area.  He also showed the resource  inventory map.  CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 6  The purpose and need statement which Mr. Rafael read focuses on enhancing the park’s  features and having the area serve the needs of residents, visitors, etc.  There were 4 design alternatives which included a circulation concept.  Mr. Rafael showed the  preferences from public input including amenities, paths, natural play area, native woodland,  plantings to enhance the landscaping, and wetland restoration.  The preferred alternative is an  amalgamation of the best of all the plans.  Mr. Rafael showed this plan and the details of the  access point.  One recommendation is for the city to purchase the property to the immediate left of Dumont  Park (2.5 acres).  Ms. Nowak noted this discussion would have to take place in Executive  Session.  Mr. Guyette, Project Manager for Garden Street, reviewed the process to this point.  The major  themes of the road are traffic calming and the creation of “gathering spaces.”  The purpose and  need statement includes transportation and intersection improvements.  Mr. Guyette then showed the recommended alignment of Garden Street and the preferred  street design including sidewalks, parking, 10‐foot travel lanes, and a 10‐foot cycle track.  He  noted that South Burlington Realty has asked for more on‐street parking.  An alternate design  allows for more parking by moving the greenbelt.  Mr. Guyette also showed alternatives for  entry at Midas Drive, one alternative with a landscaped median and one with a park‐like  feature on one side of the road.  They plan to proceed with the median plan.  Mr. Chittenden asked if there has been consideration to what could happen is Central School is  sold.  Ms. Blanchard said they have.  Mr. Shaw moved to approve the Resolution for the Dumont Park project as presented.  Ms.  Emery seconded.  Motion passed 4‐0.  Mr. Shaw moved to approve the alignment and conceptual street for Garden Street.  Ms. Emery  seconded.  Motion passed 4‐0.  9. Appoint Council member to serve on the Interview Committee for Auditor:  Mr. Hubbard noted the city goes to an RFP about every 3‐5 years.  The committee will be  interviewing about 5 firms sometime in late April.    Mr. Chittenden expressed interest in serving on this committee.    CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 7  Mr. Shaw moved to appoint Councilor Chittenden to serve on the Interview Committee for  Auditor.  Ms. Emery seconded.  Motion passed 4‐0.  10. Follow‐up Discussion on Underwood Property Task Force Report:  Mr. Hubbard said the question is how to begin addressing what to do with the property.  He  directed attention to the list of possible actions.  He said the one with the most impact would  be to borrow $1,500,000 and have the interest paid for from the Open Space Fund.  Ms. Nowak noted concern with funding for the upkeep of Underwood, Red Rocks and Wheeler  properties.  Mr. Chittenden said he would like to hear more from the public, but borrowing the money  makes sense to him.  Mr. Shaw stressed that lack of maintenance can come back and bite the city (e.g., City Hall).  He  felt this was a good way to be frugal and action oriented.  Ms. Quest cited the concern with doing something on the Underwood property this summer.   She said Common Roots could bring students down and plant things.  Ms. Nowak said staff can  be asked to look into that.  Members were OK with the concept.  11. Consideration of motion pursuant to 19VSA, Section 708(a) to initiate proceedings  to discontinue an approximately 5’x345’ portion of Market Street right‐of‐way:  Mr. Conner reviewed the history and said this will allow porches to be built on housing units at  the gateway to City Center and will also allow for more screening behind the homes.  He added  that Public Works is OK with the plan.  Ms. Nowak read the following motion: that the City Council, pursuant to 19 V.S.A., Section  708(a), commence the process of discontinuing a portion of the town highway right‐of‐way for  Market Street (Town Highway No. 228) both by scheduling an examination of the Premises on  May 18th at 6:30 p.m. and a public hearing on the discontinuance to follow at City Hall on May  18th at 7:00 p.m. and by directing the City Attorney or his designee to provide notice of the  examination of the premises and public hearing on the discontinuance to all those entitled to  notice pursuant to 19 V.S.A. , Section 209.  The portion of the right‐of‐way proposed to be  discontinued is a roughly 5’x345’ strip of the right‐of‐way located along the southerly side of  Market Street (Town Highway No. 228) extending westerly from Market Street’s intersection   CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 8  with Hinesburg Road (VT Route 116).  Mr. Shaw moved to approve the motion as read.  Mr.  Chittenden seconded.  Motion passed 4‐0.  12.

Clean City Proposal  2    Proposal Summary:   I. Fortify the Vermont clean brand within South Burlington by directing all  South Burlington businesses to maintain litter free properties year  round.    II. Initiate a 1multi‐faceted approach and management plan to eradicate or  at least reduce litter in South Burlington, year round, for the sake of the  health, and the economy of our community.    III. Stimulate collaboration between the city offices and businesses, non‐ profits, schools, and citizens in order to expand litter picking and litter  prevention activities in our South Burlington communities.     IV. Commend those who support or take direct action(s) to help maintain a  clean South Burlington environment.         This memorandum covers multiple points, to which I hope will favor this council  to rule in support of the proposed ordinances and resolutions.  Following each ‘whereas’ are arguments and analysis in favor of the proposed  ordinance.                                                                         1  A multi‐faceted approach is necessary to maintain a litter free community. When education  (information, knowledge), enforcement (penalizing offenders) and engineering (making it easy  and convenient) are integrated, attitude and behavior change are more likely to occur  simultaneously.  Clean City Proposal  3    Proposed Ordinance LC‐1     Whereas, although there is a focus on removing littered trash from our landscape  on Green Up Day and during spring planting; unfortunately, outside those periods,  there is a cumulative fall out of trash, which adds blight to the South Burlington  business district and to our community overall.    Whereas, The Vermont image is described as pure, natural, beautiful and includes  respect of the environment.  Whereas, according to The Vermont Brand, a study by the O’Neil Strategy Group,  a brand is a set of strong associations’ people have with a product, place or  service. Brands exist in peoples’ minds, not in the product, place or service‐itself.  These associations are really expectations people have for that product, place or  service.  Whereas, businesses must constantly earn the valuable ‘Clean’ branding that  Vermont conveys.  Whereas, littered trash is a detriment to both the health and the economy of our  community.     Whereas, although some people view littered trash as the status quo. Some may  have just stopped being conscious of the food packaging, plastic, and other  littered trash. This does not make it benign, or an isolated or inconsequential  problem.    Whereas, studies have shown that litter begets litter. That is, in general people  are less apt to drop litter if the area is litter free, and more apt to drop litter at an  area that is already littered.    Whereas, many share the opinion that ignoring littered trash is a behavior untrue  to Vermont values and expect businesses to align maintaining a clean litter‐free  on site environment, with other business objectives.   Whereas we encourage businesses to brand litter picking as a community building  activity; helping to create cleanliness as a South Burlington social norm.   Clean City Proposal  4    Whereas, a litter free community would be a social and economic benefit to  South Burlington.  Whereas, we support year round, clean, litter free South Burlington business  properties, and public areas such as parks, schools, and roadways.     Whereas, electing clean storefronts is a matter of community pride. Moreover, it  is a matter of differentiation for South Burlington businesses.

SOUTH BURLINGTON Amended 2/1/12  Clean City Proposal  5    Let it be Resolved (Ordinance LC‐1)    South Burlington businesses will maintain litter free storefronts / business  properties, year round in order to protect our water, wildlife, and human  health.   Meaning businesses will make sure that land under their control and to which  the public have access (with or without payment) is kept free from litter and  refuse year round.     (A) Businesses definition: To include but not limited to, stores, hotels, motels,  gas stations, restaurants, bars, and commercial entities.     (B) The responsibility for the removal of litter from business properties or  receptacles shall be upon the owner(s) of the property or upon the  business establishment residing at the property. It is the responsibility of  the owners and operators of publicly patronized establishments to  maintain their surrounding areas.   (C)   Business properties/storefronts include parking area, walkways, and green  areas.  (D)   The emphasis is on the consistent and appropriate management of an  area to keep it clean, not on frequency of cleaning. (Similar to snow, ice, and  leaf litter removal responsibilities.) This is dependent on effective monitoring  of environmental conditions and the co‐ordination of a carefully prioritized  cleansing regime in response to litter trends, weather patterns and human  activity.   (E)   It is recommended that each business include in its operating procedures  a zero litter policy for the outside of the business property similar to its indoor  trash on the floor policy.    Clean City Proposal  6    (F)   The cleanliness grades regarding litter are hereby defined as:     1.  Grade A    No litter or refuse (requirement on hard surfaces)    2.  Grade B   Predominantly free of litter apart from a few small items.  (acceptable on soft surfaces)    3.  Grade C   Widespread distribution of litter with minor accumulations.  (Unacceptable)     4. Grade D   Heavily littered with significant accumulations. (Unacceptable)    5. A grade (A) effectively means that no litter, in any form, is present on the  land or parking lot, or walkways.     6. The presence of even one piece of litter or refuse automatically  downgrades the environment to grade B. Grade (B) is an acceptable  standard for areas with soft or other types of surfaces that are difficult to  clean to a grade A. These include grassed and landscaped areas, and terrain  such as earth.    7.  The presence of litter and refuse that is significant enough to form a few  minor accumulations (grade C) or significant accumulations (grade D) on  any surface, indicates non‐compliance.         Contid. On next page          Clean City Proposal  7    (G)   Clean up Response times are dictated according to the level of pedestrian  and vehicular activity, and the type of land area use (type of business). Each  type of land use area has a response time within which the business should  return the property to an acceptable standard.  1. High intensity of use (busy public areas, large parking lot may be  indicative)     2. Medium intensity of use (Small parking lot (<10 cars) may be  indicative.)    3. Low intensity of use (lightly trafficked areas. Offices might be  indicative.)    4. Areas with special circumstances (Where issues of health and safety  and reasonableness and practicability are dominant considerations  when undertaking cleansing operations).    See table on next page.                      Clean City Proposal  8     The table that follows can help you work out how quickly an area should be returned to  cleanliness grade A.             High intensity of use Medium intensity of use Low Intensity of use Special Circumstances  Nature of the  area  Areas, which, through  intense pedestrian and/or  vehicular movements, are  prone to fluctuations in the  litter, refuse, and require  both high levels of  monitoring and frequent  cleaning.   Areas affected by moderate  levels of pedestrian and  vehicular activity and therefore  less prone to fluctuations in  litter and refuse, usually  situated outside retail or  commercial activity, but used  regularly by members of the  public.  Areas subject to low or  infrequent levels of  pedestrian and vehicular  activity and therefore less  prone to fluctuations in  litter and refuse, often  located in office space,  health facilities.  Types of land where issues of  health and safety and  reasonableness and  practicability are dominant  considerations when  undertaking environmental  maintenance work .  Maximum  response  time to  restore to  Grade A  standard  if it falls  below  grade B  One Day Two Days One Week  30 Days or as soon  as reasonably  practical       Type of land or area  Use       Retail Retail      All businesses in  shared location of  more than 2  businesses  All businesses in  shared location of  more than 2  businesses      Large grocery  store        Restaurant, take  out, gas stations  Restaurant, take out,  gas stations      Hotel, Motel     Bars  Bars         Commercial       Office, Health org.       Industrial areas             Clean City Proposal  9     (H)  Where a litter problem is clearly traced to certain types of business, such as  ‘food on the go’ establishments, grocery store (flyers); a local authority can issue  a Street Litter Control Notice. This will compel the occupier, or the owner of  business or retail premises, to clear up litter and implement measures to prevent  the land from continued defacement.        (I)  Litter Receptacles. To help prevent or reduce litter by pedestrians, the  South Burlington City Council recommends that the owners of publicly patronized  establishments provide and maintain publicly accessible litter receptacles on their  premises.     NOTE: I am not proposing penalties for failure to comply with the cleanliness  standards and or the actions called for in Resolution L‐1; at least not until 1 year  from the time the ordinance originates, giving time for outreach and public  announcements of the standards businesses must meet.     Contid. On next page                      Clean City Proposal  10    Proposed Ordinance LC‐2  Whereas,  a multi‐faceted approach is necessary to maintain a litter free  community. When education (information, knowledge), enforcement (penalizing  offenders) and engineering (making it easy and convenient) are integrated,  attitude and behavior change are more likely to occur simultaneously.  Whereas, the Circle of Prosperity, (first articulated in Vermont back in 1997 by  the Vermont Business Round‐table), emphasizes the fact that economic  development and healthy communities are a system, involving the collective and  sometimes coordinated actions of many individuals, businesses, and institutions.    Let it be Resolved: (Ordinance LC‐2)  We resolve to collaborate with interested parties such as South Burlington  businesses, rotary, schools, and scouts, to explore both public and private  initiatives to facilitate picking up litter shortly after occurrence, and address  littering behaviors.   This includes installing and maintaining more readily accessible trash and  recycling containers for the public to deposit litter, recyclables, and cigarette  butts at public and business locations.   Moreover, to give particular focus to high traffic areas that commonly  experience littering in our community.    (A) City Council to solicit a volunteer committee. (Perhaps invite a college  ‘intern’ to join the committee even if not a SB resident.)   (No, I am not volunteering to lead such a committee‐I believe this leadership  position requires an extrovert personality. I would however, volunteer to be a  member of such a committee).    (B)  Committee tasked with periodic evaluations and process improvement‐  including:       Clean City Proposal  11    1.

Clean City Proposal  15    In Conclusion, Many businesses and many citizens of South Burlington demonstrate great pride in our city by picking up litter on both public and private domains, with particular focus on Green Up Day and during spring planting. However, litter is visible throughout the year at many of our city’s business locations. How long litter remains on business properties remains inconsistent without a set of standards and expectations set by the city. Without these standards, litter attracts more litter, debasing the image of South Burlington. Litter free standards serve to support the health of our environment, the health of our citizens, as well as the economy of our city. Citizens expect businesses to earn Vermont’s clean branding continually. Citizens expect SB businesses to advance pride in community by maintaining litter free business properties year round. The City of South Burlington should set clean city, litter free business standards, and litter control management processes, and measurements to ensure year round compliance, and constant improvement. The city should also take an annual read out on a Clean City dept or committee regarding business compliance, litter surveys, best practices, and celebrate successes. As a citizen of South Burlington, I respectfully ask the council members and the city manager to review this analysis, the points of argument, and resolve to implement as is or in similar form. Thank You City Council members and City Manger for consideration of these proposed litter ordinances and resolutions. Let us make our street the cleanest in our city, our city the cleanest city in the state. Are there any further questions? I would also be happy to come back to a future City Council meeting to answer more questions after you have had time to digest the proposals. Clean City Proposal  16    Respectfully submitted, Bernie Paquette, SB VT April 2015 Bernie.paquette@yahoo.com Addendum I have explained the advantages businesses can gain by earning the clean branding through timely removal of litter on their properties. I am not so naïve to think there is not cost of doing so. I do believe the benefits outweigh the cost. However, I understand change can be difficult for individuals and for businesses. In that respect, I offer not my thoughts but those of Seth Godin; which I find applicable to this change of behavior I am suggesting we ask of SB businesses.

There was no way, the owners complained, that they could make a living if they couldn’t employ ultra-cheap labor. In retrospect, I think businesses are glad that kids go to school--educated workers make better consumers (and citizens). Fifty years ago, when people realized how much damage was being done by factories poisoning our rivers, those supporting the regulations to clean up the water supply were called anti-business. Companies argued that they’d never be able to efficiently produce while reducing their effluent. Today, I think most capitalists would agree that the benefits of having clean air and water more than make up for what it costs to create a place people want to live—the places that haven't cleaned up are rushing to catch up, because what destroys health also destroys productivity and markets. (And it's a good idea). When the bars and restaurants went non-smoking in New York a decade ago, angry trade organizations predicted the death knell of their industry. It turns out the opposite happened. The term anti-business actually seems to mean, “against short-term waste, harmful side effects and selfish shortcuts.” Direct marketers were aghast when people started speaking out against spam, but of course, in the long run, ethical direct marketers came out ahead. If anti-business means supporting a structure that builds a foundation where more people can flourish over time, then sign me up. A more interesting conversation, given how thoroughly intertwined business and social issues are, is whether someone is short-term or long-term. Not all long-term ideas are good ones, not all of them work, but it makes no sense to confuse them with the label of anti-business. Successful businesses tend to be in favor of the status quo (they are, after all, successful and change is a threat) perhaps with a few fewer regulations just for kicks. But almost no serious businessperson is suggesting that we roll back the 'anti-business' improvements to the status quo of 1890. It often seems like standing up for dignity, humanity and respect for those without as much power is called anti-business. And yet it turns out that the long-term benefit for businesses is that they are able to operate in a more stable, civilized, sophisticated marketplace. It’s pretty easy to go back to a completely self-regulated, selfishly focused, Ayn-Randian cut-throat short-term world. But I don’t think you’d want to live there.  Seth Godin South Burlington Fire Department 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, Vermont 05403 802-846-4110 To: Members of the South Burlington City Council City Manager Kevin Dorn Deputy City Manager Tom Hubbard From: Douglas S. Brent, Chief of Fire and EMS Date: April 16, 2015 Re: Electrical Inspector Background Since the early 1970’s the State of Vermont has provided Fire Code Inspections, Electrical Inspections, Plumbing Inspections, and Construction Building Plan reviews. Originally this was provided as a service by the Vermont Department of Labor and Industry. Approximately 10 years ago it was transferred to the Vermont Department of Public Safety through the formation of the Division of Fire Safety. As part of the statutory language establishing the State of Vermont oversight of these duties was also included a provision allowing a community to provide their own inspection and enforcement services. This would be accomplished by a written memorandum of understanding between the State of Vermont and the community outlining what services were to be provided at the local level. These agreements dictate what services are to be provided locally and what services the State will retain. Typically the State retains oversight of State owned projects and municipally owned projects. There are many combinations of inspection services provided by approximately 2 dozen communities in Vermont. Examples of those include; fire code enforcement, electrical code enforcement, new construction only, existing buildings only, or plans review. Some communities who maintain inspection agreements are; Burlington, Hartford, Bellows Falls, Putney, Brattleboro, Winooski, Barre, and Montpelier. All M.O.U.’s outline that a community inspection agreement must be as stringent as the State of Vermont code outlines. A local agreement can be more restrictive than state code but cannot be less restrictive. Communities are allowed to set their own rate structure for revenue generation, this is not dictated by the state, nor is there any revenue sharing. As you know two years ago a decision was made by the City of South Burlington to begin providing Fire Code Enforcement by adoption of an ordinance, an M.O.U. with the State, and the hiring of a City Fire Marshal. This project has been more successful than we ever could have imagined. Current Proposal Normally, projects such as this are developed through or as part of the annual budgetary process. However, the nexus of this proposal is borne out of request of our customers and by our desire to be more customer friendly. Our fire code enforcement program and our plan review process have been so well received that the users of these programs have questioned when we might start providing electrical inspection services. These inquiries have been expressed to me, Deputy Chief Francis, and City Manager Dorn during his many meetings with local businessmen and developers. There have been numerous actual examples of customers waiting 5 or 6 weeks to get an electrical inspection done. This illustration is not meant to be disrespectful of the work done by DFS electrical inspectors, just an example of how busy they are due to large service coverage areas and a minimum number of inspectors. The project being proposed is to hire a City of South Burlington electrical inspector. The position would be a fulltime position and would report to the Fire Chief and/or the Fire Marshal. It would also be our intent to have the person learn fire inspection duties to provide assistance to the Fire Marshal and in the future redundancy. Qualifications An electrical inspector in the State of Vermont must hold a Master Electrician License. They must be extremely familiar with the most current version of the Vermont Electrical Safety Rules. It is imperative that the person be very familiar with inspection practices and have had experience working as an electrical inspector. The inspector should be very comfortable with all documentation and required reporting practices associated with being an electrical inspector. Ordinance City Attorney Jim Barlow has drawn up a draft ordinance for electrical inspections. Memorandum Of Understanding The State of Vermont Division of Fire Safety has amended our current MOU and forwarded a draft to us. They have also gone on record as being extremely supportive of us taking on this responsibility. Costs Please see the attached sheet outlining the proposed costs for this position. As outlined the projected costs would be approximately $90,000 per year. Based on inspection numbers passed on to us by the Division of Fire Safety we can anticipate approximately 350 inspections. Officials at DFS have said that having a municipal electrical inspector would generate more inspections than a regional DFS inspector. We expect that this position should be cost/revenue neutral.

FROM:  Paul Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning    SUBJECT:  New Town Center Renewal application    DATE: April 20, 2015 City Council meeting        The South Burlington City Center area includes a designation from the Vermont Downtown  Board as a New Town Center. This designation, first received in 2009 and then slightly amended  in 2010, serves as the underpinning and foundation for the City’s Tax Increment Finance District  and Neighborhood Development Area designations.  This New Town Center designation must be renewed by the Downtown Board every five (5)  years. Staff is proposing that the City submit this application, for the same exact land area as  the 2010 designation.  Enclosed is a map showing the boundary of the New Town Center. It mirrors that of the TIF  District.    What is a New Town Center Designation?  Vermont Statues include three basic Designations that communities can apply for: Downtowns  (for historic downtowns), Villages (for historic villages), and New Town Centers (for planned  villages and downtowns).   These designations serve as the foundation for many tools and grants at the State level.  A  municipality seeking to obtain (or retain) TIF District or Neighborhood Development Area  approval, for example, must have one of these underlying designations in that physical area  first. The designations also provide municipalities with access to certain priority funding on  various projects, such as Municipal Planning Grant applications.  The New Town Center designation requires that a community demonstrate that it has the tools  in place to support and foster a future center, such as appropriate zoning supporting smart  growth, sufficient water and wastewater capacity, existing or planned community facilities in  the area, and a demonstration of working towards implementation. That commitment includes  a very broad agreement between the City and community partners to pursue the goals of the  New Town Center. In 2010, this agreement was signed by the City Manager and South  2 Burlington Realty. The same agreement is proposed for re‐submittal, and may this time also  include the South Burlington Business Association as a signatory, pending their consideration  this week.    Staff recommendation:  Staff recommends that the City Council authorize submittal of the renewed New Town Center  application to the Vermont Downtown Board.  14,266 724.7 Natural Resources Atlas
