South Burlington City Council Meeting Participation Guidelines City Council meetings are the only time we have to discuss and decide on City matters. We want to be as open and informal as possible; but Council meetings are not town meetings. In an effort to conduct orderly and efficient meetings, we kindly request your cooperation and compliance with the following guidelines. 1. Please be respectful of each other (Council members, staff, and the public). 2. Please raise your hand to be recognized by the Chair. Once recognized please state your name and address. 3. 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. It is difficult to hear speaker remarks when there are other conversations occurring. Published by ClerkBase ©2019 by Clerkbase. No Claim to Original Government Works. April 23, 2015 Janice Ladd City of South Burlington 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 Dear Janice: Attached please find copies of the Chittenden Solid Waste District Proposed FY 2016 Budget. CSWD is scheduled to meet with the City of South Burlington on Monday, May 4, 2015 at 6:30p.m. Please forward the attached copies to your City Council for their review. Also, please note that the front cover of our FY 16 Budget refers to a website www.cswd.net , where a complete detailed copy of our budget is available for review. The Board of Commissioners approved sending the Proposed FY 2016 Budget to Member towns for their approval on Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Below is Section 4. (b) of the Chittenden Solid Waste District Charter. Within 45 days of the approval of the budget by the Board of Commissioners, the legislative body of each member municipality shall act to approve or disapprove the budget. The budget shall be approved if approved by the legislative bodies of a majority of the member municipalities. (For such purposes, each member municipality shall be entitled to one vote.) A legislative body that disapproves the budget must file with the Board of Commissioners a written statement of objections to the budget identifying those specific items to be changed, and failure to file such statement of objections within the forty-five (45) day period shall constitute approval by such municipality. A legislative body that fails to act to approve or disapprove the budget within the forty-five (45) day period shall likewise be deemed to have approved the budget. As stated above, each member municipality may choose to approve or disapprove the budget prior to June 6, 2015. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you. Sincerely, Amy Jewell Administrative Manager Cc: Paul Stabler, Rep. Mark Boucher, Alt.
