SOUTH BURLINGTON ENERGY COMMITTEE MEETING
Minutes
JANUARY 10, 2024
The South Burlington Energy Committee held a regular meeting on Wednesday, 10 January
2024, at 6:30 p.m., in the Board Room, 180 Market Street, and by Zoom remote participation.
Members present: Ethan Goldman, Brittany Baldwin, Marley Hauser, Keith Epstein, Rob
Meader*, Steve Crowley*, MJ Reale*, Fred Kosnitsky*.
Absent: Tim Perrin, Sam Lipschutz, Carrie McLaughlin
Also present: N. Atherton, City Planner; Lou Bresee, Energy Programs Manager; Linda Bailey,
public.
MJ ran the meeting, since Tim was absent. Keith kept minutes.
We reviewed the December 13, 2023 minutes. Keith moved to accept them, Fred seconded,
and the vote to approve was unanimous.
There is a conflict between our meetings and the bike/ped committee meetings. Andrew
Chalnick is the city council liaison for both committees, so we will change our meetings to
the first wednesday of each month. Our next meeting will be February 7th, 2024.
We reviewed and discussed four options for energy committee logos, based on the energy
festival logos.
Action: Nick will send a survey for us all to vote, and we will discuss and choose one at our
next meeting.
Nick shared the new RBES and CBES EV parking standards, which will take effect on July 1st,
2024. We discussed the aspects each of us liked and disliked about the new standards.
Fred shared an update about the Braiding Sweetgrass book club discussion on January 18th at
the library.
