MEMO
To: South Burlington City Council
From: Jay Nadeau, Water Department Superintendent
CC: Tom DiPietro, Director of Public Works
Dave Wheeler, Deputy Director of Water Resources
Date: June 18, 2024
Re: Award of Construction Contract for Hinesburg Road Gate Valve Replacement, Preceding Paving of Route
116.
On June 7, 2024, the City of South Burlington held a bid opening for replacement of several drinking water
main line gate valves on Hinesburg Road. This work is intended to precede the VTrans paving project of Route
116 from Williston Road to South Burlington’s southern border (and beyond). This project generally includes
the replacement of existing aging main line gate valves and the installation of additional valves to better
isolate the Hinesburg Road water main in the event of an emergency. Construction locations include Market
St at Hinesburg RD., Barrett St at Hinesburg Rd., Iby St at Hinesburg Rd., Sunset Ave. at Hinesburg Rd., and
Simpson Ct. at Hinesburg Rd.
We received proposals from three contractors to complete this work (Table 1). The low bid for this project
was submitted by Sloan’s Excavating for $88,075.00. This cost is slightly above the current funds available,
but award of this contract will not cause the water department to exceed it’s overall budget. Given the age
of the water main and proposed paving, I encourage the City to move forward with this project.
Table 1. Summary of Bids Received for the replacement of water line gate valves on Hinesburg Road
Contractor Total Bid Price
Munson Earth Moving Corp. $190,000.00
Poulin Companies $130,000.00
Sloan’s Excavating $88,075.00
Based on this, I am requesting that City Council authorize the South Burlington Water Department to award
the Hinesburg Road Valve Replacement Project to Sloan’s Excavating. If you would like additional information
on this project or the bid results, please contact Jay Nadeau, SBWD Superintendent at
jay.nadeau@champlainwater.org .

Re: FY25 Grand List and Tax Rate
Each year the City updates the grand list which is a master document containing information on
each parcel of property in the City. The value of a parcel may change in years when a reappraisal
is not completed due to new construction, adding a porch or a deck, finishing a basement,
adding additional space or demolition of a building. The value of the property is set as of April 1
each year and the total grand list is a sum of all property values.
It is important to understand that while real estate market prices continue to rise in the City, that
does not mean that the assessed value increases at the same rate. The last citywide reappraisal
was completed in 2021, so the rate tables used to determine values during that reappraisal, must
be used to value properties until the next citywide reappraisal.
The following data points may be of interest.
• The total 2024 municipal grand list is $4,282,315,000 billion. This is up $135,616,900
million from 2023. In 2023 South Burlington had the second largest grand list in the
State of Vermont.
• The total municipal grand list increased by 3.27% over the previous year compared to 2%
which was estimated when the FY25 budget was created. This was largely due to the
buildout of City Center, several large commercial projects and residential housing projects
being assessed higher than projected.
• The total TIF District grand list increased by 34.26% over the previous year compared to
4.4% which was estimated when the FY25 budget was created. This larger increase is
primarily due to the buildout of City Center more quickly than anticipated. We anticipate
another significant increase in value of the TIF District in 2025 given the number of
buildings under construction.
• The value of residential/condominium property increased by 1.35% over the previous
year. This is due primarily to the O’Brien Brothers development as well as new housing
on Vale Drive, Aurora Road and Farm Way.
180 MARKET STREET, SOUTH BURLINGTON, VERMONT | (802) 846-4107 | WWW.SOUTHBURLINGTONVT.GOV
•The value of commercial property increased by 7.58% over the previous year. The biggest
drivers of this increase are the Beta complex, Onlogic, Market and Garden Steet
properties as well as the North Dorset property.
•Residential/condominium property makes up 63% of the total grand list with commercial
property making up 33%. The remainder is open land and utilities.
The formula to determine the City’s operating tax rate is to divide the voter approved amount to
be raised by property tax plus the TIF Proceeds by the municipal Grand List (rounding to four
digits out). In FY25, property tax proceeds will make up 60% of the General Fund budget
operating revenues.
Amount to be raised by property taxes + TIF Proceeds
Grand List Value/100 = Tax Rate
2024-2025 Municipal Grand List: $4,282,315,000.00
Voter approved amount to be raised by property tax: $21,043,140.22
TIF Increment Proceeds to be raised by property tax: $262,621.59
$21,043,140.22 + $262,621.59

Date:June 26, 2024
Re: South Burlington American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds – Overview
The memo provides an overview of the City’s discussions and decisions around the use of the
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. The Council may choose to take action and fund the two
projects, Cultural plan and Economic Development Pan, that received at least four councilors’
support during the ARPA discussion on June 17th Council meeting. The intent of this ARPA
conversation is to review Council June 17 decisions, allow time for more discussions, and hear any
additional requests for information you may have before allocation decisions are made.
Background
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) is a federal stimulus package intended to aid public health
and economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. ARPA funds included a total of $360 billion
in pandemic-related aid for state and local governments. Vermont received more than $1.25 billion
with $200 million allocated directly to Vermont’s cities, towns, and villages. The legislature and the
governor determined how the $105 billion was allocated. The City of South Burlington received a
total allocation of $5,656,533.00. Under the Act, these funds must be allocated by December 31,
2024 and expended by December 31, 2026.
The Act specifies that these funds can be used for several different purposes. These purposes
include responding to public health concerns raised by the pandemic, responding to negative
economic impacts of the pandemic, providing services to communities disproportionately
impacted by the pandemic, providing premium pay to essential workers, replacing lost revenues,
recouping administrative costs directly attributable to the pandemic, and improving water, sewer
and broadband infrastructure.
The ARPA Revenue Lost Provision recognizes state and local governments’ responsibility to
respond to the pandemic and its economic effects and to replace revenue lost due to the public
health emergency and prevent cuts to government services. It gives Cities and Towns the option to
elect a standard allowance of up to $10 million of their ARPA fund allocation and spend on general
government services. South Burlington elected to take the full ARPA allocation ($5.6M) as standard
allowance and therefore the funds can be used for any municipal purpose
180 MARKET STREET, SOUTH BURLINGTON, VERMONT | (802) 846-4112 | WWW.SOUTHBURLINGTONVT.GOV
Balance and Summary of Current Allocations
The remaining unallocated funds from the ARPA award are $1,129,853. ARPA funds are kept in a
separate interest-bearing bank account. To date, the interest earned on ARPA revenues totals
$374,210. This brings the total unallocated ARPA revenues balance to $1,504,063. The summary of
all allocations including Council approval dates is included in the table below.
It is important to point out that the Council approved the use of ARPA funds to re-instate three City
staff positions and fund deferred capital projects with a step-down approach to phase out the
impact on the general fund budget.
Restoring and funding the three positions that were frozen during the COVID-19 pandemic with
ARPA funds was one of the first recommendations the council considered and approved during
their July 19, 2021 Council meeting. With the step-down approach, the related wages and benefit
costs over a five-year period are spread out with an annual downscale of 20%. The amount shown
on the table below is the total over 5 years.
During the FY23 budget process, the Council approved use of ARPA revenues to fund deferred,
one-time, capital projects. During FY24 budget process, the management presented to Council
options of how the Capital Improvement Plan funding capacity created with ARPA funds can be
phased into general fund budget. One of those options was a step-down approach (75% for FY24,
50% for FY25, and 25% for FY26), the Council approved this option. The amount shown on the table
below is the total over 4 years.

Summary of 6/17/2024 Council Discussion
The table below summarizes the June 17th Council discussions on the use of the remaining ARPA
funds. The “6/17 support-# of Councilors” column shows the number of Councilors who supported
the idea/project as a potential use of ARPA revenues. The cultural and economic development
plans both received at least four councilors’ support. The Council can choose to move these two
projects forward with the motion below. The Council can also amend the motion and allocate ARPA
funds to more projects and move them forward.
The table below was originally developed in 2022 and 2023. It is now updated to reflect June 17th
Council discussion and only ideas/projects with at least one Councilor’s support are shown on the
table. Councilor Scanlan supported the idea to “Launch an ADU Grant Program” but said he would
withdraw if similar programs existed after Councilor Fitzgerald mentioned that there might be
similar programs. The Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Grant Program is not listed on the table
below. The State of Vermont has a similar program through Vermont Housing Improvement
Program that offers a grant of up to $50,000 per unit for repairs to the existing or new ADU.
Council Actions: Move to approve the allocation and use of $50,000 of ARPA funds to fund the
development of a Cultural Plan and $100,000 of ARPA funds for the development of an Economic
Development Plan, in accordance with all city, state and federal financial policies and regulations.
