Well,
I
think
we
can
start
right
now.
It's
thank
you.
So
let's
call
the
meeting
of
Wednesday
July
19th
2023
of
the
ccrpc
to
order
at
six
o'clock
and
for
the
purposes
of
attendance,
Charlie,
I
hope
it's
not
inappropriate.
I
just
wanted
to
have
folks
quickly
introduce
themselves
since
we
seem
to
be
of
somewhat
number
of
new
folks
in
addition
to
the
ones
we
have
so
I'm,
going
to
start
with
myself.
I'll
start
with
you,
Charlie
go
ahead
and
introduce
yourself.

C
C
Q
C
C
G
R
R
C
C
C
K
Good
thanks
Chris,
so
yeah
hi,
everyone,
I'm,
Marshall,
distal
and
I'm.
A
senior
Transportation,
planner,
I
joined
ccrpc
back
in
2014,
actually
as
a
summer
intern
and
then
was
hired
full-time
as
a
transportation
planner
in
2015
after
graduating,
with
a
bachelor's
from
UVM
in
geography
and
I
also
have
a
master's
degree
in
natural
resources,
with
a
graduate
certificate
in
global
sustainability
from
Virginia,
Tech
and
I
earned
that
degree
in
2019,
as
I
was
working
through
that
Virginia
Tech
program.
K
Over
the
course
of
a
couple
of
years,
I
maintained
my
position
with
ccrpc
and
completed
some,
both
virtual
and
in
in-person
courses,
which
included
coursework
in
both
India
and
South
Africa,
and
they
kind
of
focused
on
challenges
related
to
Rapid
urbanization,
climate
change,
economic
inequality.
So
it
was
a
pretty
amazing
program
and
I'm
very
appreciative
of
ccrpc's
support
as
I
work
through
it.
K
K
I'd
also
say
just
you
know,
as
a
planner
I'm
I've
become
really
passionate
about
working
to
you
know,
support
the
growth
of
walkable
communities,
especially
in
our
downtowns
and
Village
centers.
Think
that
you
know
strong
and
vibrant
communities.
You
know
they
attract
people,
investment,
opportunity,
I,
think
the
focusing
Investments
here,
not
only
you
know,
helps
create
just
a
better
sense
of
place,
but
it's
really
essential
for
a
community's.
You
know
overall,
livability
and
I
feel
that
you
know
one
of
the
most
powerful
tools
that
we
have
to
combat.
K
Climate
change
involves
building
more
communities
centered
around
walkability,
and
you
know,
after
after
participating
a
couple
of
the
national
Gatherings
for
the
Congress
for
the
new
urbanism
over
the
past
couple
of
years
in
Oklahoma,
City
and
Charlotte
just
feels
like
I've
become.
You
know,
more
sort
of
impassioned
about
being
a
a
champion
for
a
more
sustainable
built
environment
and
you
know
definitely
critical
of
sprawling
and
single
use.
Low
density
patterns
of
development
which
seem
to
you
know,
inflict
so
many
negative
economic,
health
and
environmental
impacts
on
our
communities.
K
C
But
let
me
jump
in
there
and
thank
you
using
State
Church
Street
in
Burlington
as
a
model
of
what
we
hope.
If
you
get
the
pit
built
and
the
mall
that
was
there
redesigned
in
some
form
of
fashion,
but
where
malls
have
suffered
in
this
country,
you
see
Church,
Street,
I
I
would
say
probably
hasn't.
You
know
it's
probably
remained
as
vibrant
as
anything.
C
C
K
C
Oh,
thank
you
and
I.
Don't
want
to
you
know
a
slight
Bard
who
has
probably
taken
most
of
the
impact
from
the
storm.
Richmond
I'm
afraid
has
been
probably
our
number
one
city
in
town
in
Chittenden
County
that
suffered
and
probably
continues
to
suffer.
I
hope
they
have
Old,
Stage,
Road
and
everything
all
opened
back
up.
Thank
you.
Anybody
else
have
questions
for
Marshall.
M
Hi
everybody
I'm
Sarah,
my
intro
is
going
to
be
significantly
shorter
because
it
is
my
day
eight
on
the
job,
so
brand
new
planner
here
getting
up
to
speed
with
all
the
projects
and
really
excited
about
everything.
I've
learned
in
the
first
weekend,
three
days
but
yeah
my
background
I
just
graduated
in
2022,
with
a
masters
of
Public,
Health
and
I,
really
focused
during
that
program
on
environmental
justice
issues
and
Health
Equity
issues.
M
C
Well,
thank
you
and
welcome
Sarah
I'm.
Sorry,
we
had
to
have
this
major
event
in
storm
to
bring
you
into
the
state
on
top
of,
but
we
look
forward
to.
It
sounds
like
you're
well
aligned
with
Marshall
as
far
as
the
urban
planning
is
concerned,
looking
for
density
walkability
and
creating
less
fewer
barriers
to
folks,
one
of
which
is
having
to
have
a
car
and
commute
in
to
work
in
facilities
and
places
that
you
know
make
it
difficult.
Anybody
else
have
questions
for
Sarah.
L
C
C
Q
C
C
F
B
C
It
for
the
presentation
at
the
moment
so
I'm
not
able
to
quickly
navigate
around
the
faces,
the
Hollywood
Squares
to
find
extra
people
who
are
online,
but
let's
first
things.
First
I
need
a
motion
to
open
the
public
hearing
for
the
tip
for
fiscal
year,
24
through
fiscal
year.
27.
Is
that
correct,
Charlie,
yep.
P
G
S
R
C
S
C
T
Yes,
can
you
hear
me
sure
fantastic?
So
thank
you
for
opening
the
floor
for
public
comment,
so
I'm
just
here
honestly
to
listen
rather
than
talk
considering.
This
is
my
first
time
attending
this
I
am
very
familiar
with
commissioner,
commissioner
Bruce
Wilson,
so
this
is
my
first
time
attending,
so
I
just
want
to
be
more
listener
than
anything
else.
T
T
I'm
not
going
to
comment
at
this
time,
because
considering
that
this
is
my
first
time
I
just
wanna
like
I,
said
earlier,
listen
more
than
talk.
So
thank
you
again
for
opening
the
floor
to
me.
I
guess
I
might
be
the
only
person
here.
But
beyond
that,
thank
you
for
all
the
services
you
all
do
and
I'm
glad
to
be
part
of
the
public
conversation.
Thank
you.
C
Well
great
and
thank
you
for
you
know
introducing
yourself
and
bringing
your
experience
at
least
to
eyeball.
What
we
do
here,
GMT
certainly
is
the
rubber
meeting
the
road
when
we
talk
about
a
lot
of
the
improvements
and
efficiencies
that
we're
trying
to
generate
around
Chittenden
County.
So
so
it's
great
to
have
someone
who's
right
there
and
can
see.
What's
going
on,
I
know
in
South
Burlington.
F
All
right,
we'll
we'll
do
this
again,
give
this
a
new
start.
Does
everybody
hear
me?
Okay,
I,
hope?
Yes,
okay,
so
we're
here
to
talk
about
the
federal
fiscal
year,
24
to
27
Transportation
Improvement
program,
as
Chris
said,
the
tip
is
one
of
the
documents
that
ccrpc
is
required
to
prepare.
The
others.
F
So
the
tip
is
a
list
of
projects.
It
is
a
fiscally
constrained,
fiscally
constrained
list,
which
means
that
we
have
a
fund,
a
limit
that
we
can
program
to.
So
this
funding
limit
is
really
developed
in
cooperation
with
v-trans,
so
it's
not
a
set
dollar
amount
each
year.
It
changes
every
year
and
you'll
see
an
example
of
that
later.
F
Based
on
projects
that
are
ready
to
go,
the
state
is
balancing
the
federal
funds
across
the
entire
state,
so
it
doesn't
allow
to
us,
but
we
have
the
portion
that
ends
up
being
in
the
tip.
The
tip
has
to
be
four
years
and
it
must
be
updated
at
least
every
four
years.
We
have
typically
updated
it
every
year
the
tip
authorizes
obligation
of
federal
funds.
F
That's
just
Federal
highways
way
of
saying
that
funds
are
then
set
aside
for
projects
that
then
they
use
to
pay
down
all
of
their
bills
and
yeah
bills
so
projects.
So
this
top
sentence
as
part
of
is
out
of
the
federal
regulations
and
the
tip
must
be
based
on
a
continuing,
comprehensive
Transportation
Planning
process
carried
out
cooperatively
by
the
state,
the
mpo
and
Transit
operators.
F
F
Three
sections
in
the
tip
the
section
one
is
an
introduction
says
what
the
tip
is:
there's
a
discussion
of
the
federal
performance
measures.
There's
a
adoption
resolution,
there's
a
glossary
of
acronyms
section.
Two
is
the
list
of
projects
and
then
section
three
is
a
bunch
of
tables
and
figures.
Just
allowing
us
to
talk
about.
What's
in.
There
show
examples
and
things
like
that,
and
this
is
the
and
this
is
page
one.
So
this
is
the
first
an
example
of
the
project
page.
F
If
you
have
or
haven't
had
a
chance
to
look
at
it,
projects
are
organized
in
alphabetical
order.
I'll
just
point
out
that
there
is
a
section
for
Interstate
and
interchange
projects.
So
if
you
were
looking
for
exit
17,
you
wouldn't
find
it
under
Colchester.
You
would
find
it
under
Interstate
projects
have
a
ccrpc
project,
number
I,
don't
know
if
my
pointer
will
show
up
that's
too
small,
so
I'm
not
going
to
use
it,
but
they
have
a
CCR
RPC
project
number,
which
is
just
our
reference
number
there's
a
v-trans
project
number
listed.
F
F
Only
the
state
and
local
match
is
not
included
in
this
and
then
they're
listed
by
Fate
the
project
phase,
so
preliminary
engineering,
PE
right-of-way
row
or
construction
con
there's
also
some
projects
in
for
scoping,
which
is
the
is
the
process
of
getting
projects
ready
to
get
into
construction
on
the
other
side
of
the
double
line
are
just
other
project
information.
That's
there
for
interest
or
not
interest.
F
We
have
the
the
our
latest
cost
estimate,
which
I
would
point
out,
may
not
be
the
latest
call
system
it,
but
it
is
the
latest
one
that
we
have
access
to
the
column
federal
funds
obligated
through
FY
22.
That
means
that
the
money
that
was
that
means
what
was
spent
through
the
end
of
federal
fiscal
year
22,
which
is
September
30th
2022.
the
next,
the
FY
23
federal
funds,
is
what's
in
the
current
federal
fiscal
year,
we're
in
federal
fiscal
year,
23
now
going
through
September,
30th,
2023
and
then
24
will
start
October
1st
2024.
F
project
Hughes
category.
We
have
11
categories,
probably
too
many
right
now,
but
we
just
use
these
to
tell
a
story
about
how
the
money
is
being
spent.
Federal,
funding,
stores,
percent
federal
state
local
is
probably
not
really
is
more
interested
to
our
partners,
our
federal
partners,
the
remarks
column,
anything
else
we
want
to
say
about
the
project.
We
didn't
have
a
lot
to
say
about
these
projects,
but
but
if
we
did,
we
would
put
it
there
and
then
the
V
Trends
project
manager
is
listed
so
before
we
go
any
further.
F
What
I
wanted
to
point
out
is
some
changes
that
are
proposed
from
what
was
you
received
back
in
June?
These
are
what
I
would
generally
call
relatively
minor
or
administrative-ish
changes,
but
we
would
like
to
get
them
in
at
this
time
if
we
can
the
first
one.
So
what
was
in
the
tip
for
the
Burlington
Winooski
Main
Street
Bridge,
the
project,
one,
a
federal,
raise,
Grant,
rebuilding
American
infrastructure
with
sustainability
and
Equity,
and
we
just
put
in
part
of
the
grant.
We
didn't
have
the
full
spending
profile
for
this
project.
F
So
in
this
version
we
have
added
the
rest
of
that
money.
The
second
one
is
truly
an
administrative
item.
It's
changing
funding
sources
for
safety
projects,
the
third
one
there
was
inadvertently
left
out
some
funds
for
exit
17
in
fy24,
so
that's
been
corrected,
the
fourth
one,
so
the
Colchester
Avenue
Riverside,
Avenue,
Barrett
Street
in
Burlington,
was
in
the
tip.
We
had
PE
funds
in
there,
but
that
project
is
really
trying
to
advance
so
that
it
can
move
in
the
same
schedule
as
the
bridge.
F
It's
the
intersection
right
on
the
other
side
in
the
Burlington
side
of
that
Winooski
River
Bridge,
so
that
project
is
being
Advanced
a
little
more,
so
we're
going
to
add
a
little
bit
more
PE
to
that
project
and
the
last
two
are
just
adding
some
additional
funds
for
some
Paving
projects.
We
don't
have
construction
dates
yet
for
these
projects,
but
it's
adding
some
design
funds,
a
class
one
Paving
in
South
Burlington
and
then
u.s2
Paving
in
Williston,
so
down
to
the
bottom
line.
Here
this
is
a
very
large
tip.
F
F
23
24,
25
26..
This
is
largely
driven
by
a
small
number
of
very
large
projects.
There's
three
projects
in
this
tip
that
are
over
30
million
dollars
that
Champlain
Parkway,
the
Min,
the
Main
Street
Winooski,
River
Bridge
and
exit
17.
exit
17
is
a
complete
reconstruction
of
the
interstate
Bridge,
as
well
as
intersection
improvements
at
Route,
2
and
route
7.
F
to
get
and
there's
also
another
like
five
projects
that
are
over
10
million
dollars.
So
quite
a
few
large
projects
to
give
you
like
a
little
bit
of
a
longer
View
and
these
numbers
are
not
adjusted
for
inflation.
But
this
further
highlights
like
how
large
this
amount
is
and
I
think
we
would
expect
it
to
go
down
again
after.
But
this
is
where
we
are
right
now:
I'm
gonna
kind
of
walk
through
this
quickly,
a
list,
the
list
of
projects
who's
gonna
flash
on
the
screen.
F
If
you
see
anything,
you
want
to
ask
me
about,
but
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
detail
about
these.
We
can
talk
about
them
later.
Also,
if
you
want
so
the
category
new
sidewalks
and
paths,
there's
17
projects
in
this
category,
13.3
million.
So
these
are
v-trans
bike
and
pedestrian
program,
Awards
and
transportation.
Alternative
Program
Awards
and
also
includes
a
raise
grant
that
was
awarded
to
Burlington
for
the
I-89
pedestrian
bridge
at
exit
14.
F
Bridge
preservation.
We
talked
about
before
60
million
a
lot
of
projects
a
lot
of
money
in
this
category,
nine
projects,
the
two
largest
ones,
the
news,
the
Main
Street
Winooski,
River
Bridge,
and
the
there's
also
a
us-2
bridge
over
I-89
in
Richmond
that
is
gonna
is
is
has
started.
Reconstruct,
has
started,
work
right
now
and
then
Intermodal
one
project
in
this
category
Park
and
Ride
near
exit,
17,
Jasper,
Mine
Road
in
Colchester.
F
So
the
new
face
I
highlighted
these
These
are
sort
of
similar
categories
that
are
separate,
but
maybe
next
time
we'll
put
them
back
together
into
one
but
new
facility,
major
roadway
upgrade
there's
three
projects:
53
million
Champlain
Parkway
we
talked
about
is
under
construction,
Rail,
Yard
Enterprise
in
Burlington,
still
in
the
design
phase,
and
then
Crescent
connector,
Essex
Junction,
also
under
construction.
Right
now,.
F
I'm
Paving
11
projects
here,
21.1
million.
Several
of
these
are
wrapping
up.
There's
some
new
ones
coming
online
too,
mostly
State
highways
and
class.
One
town
highways
roadway
Corridor
improvements,
five
projects
in
this
cat,
what
we've
called
this
category
15
million.
So
this
includes
there's
two
Grant
projects
that
Burlington
has
won:
there's
the
Church
Street
side
streets
and
that's
I,
believe
that's
11,
that's
14
million,
and
then
there's
also
reconnecting
downtown
Burlington
and
that's
a
new
raise
Grant.
F
We
don't
have
those
funds
programmed
in
the
tip
yet,
but
we
do
have
it
listed.
That's
another
22.3
million
22.4
million
for
Burlington
safety
traffic
operations
and
its
these
are
intersection
improvements,
16
projects,
39
million
on
the
rights
right
side
of
the
slide.
We
list
the
vpsp2
regionally
driven
projects.
F
So
those
are
projects
that
were
selected
through
the
through
the
new
project,
prioritization
project
process
that
v-trans
has
and
most
of
those
are
just
starting:
the
project,
development
process,
Transit
65.4
million
formula
funds
from
FTA
congestion
mitigation,
air
quality
funds,
FTA
grants
and
then
elderly
and
disabled
programs
and
last
category
stormwater
environmental.
These
are
a
combination
of
Municipal,
Highway
and
storm
water
mitigation
program,
grants
and
town
and
transportation
alternative
grants.
Eight
projects
here,
4.4
million
this
chart
just
lays
out
kind
of
how
the
categories
stand
up
against
each
other.
F
Transit
is
the
highest
bridge
we
talked
about
is
next
new
facility,
major
rotary
upgrade.
We
have
those
few
few
major
projects
under
construction,
Interstate,
interchange
and
then
continuing
down
from
there
for
comparison.
This
is
just
our
historic
funding
in
the
last
from
FY
13
to
22.
and
I.
Think
we
can
show
here
that
historically,
our
category
I
mean
Paving
has
been
by
far
the
largest
category
in
our
history
for
funding
the
major
roadway
upgrades,
a
small
part,
nine
percent,
the
roadway
quarter
improvements
a
small
part.
F
F
There's
two
more
of
the
phase
one
projects
and
the
phases
were
really
just
the
timing
of
when
they
rolled
out
so
two
more
phase.
One
projects
both
of
them
are
under
construction
right
now.
The
phase
two
projects
there's
three
remaining
phase,
two
projects:
all
of
them
are
in
process
phase
three
projects,
the
how
many
six
are
listed.
There
are
mostly
in
process
and
I,
have
one
more
slide,
Dana
and
then
I'll
get
to
your
question
and
then
there's
there's
six
phase,
three
projects
that
have
not
started.
F
N
F
F
F
F
E
E
For
those
few
communities
in
Chittenden,
County
have
steep
slopes,
the
increasing
prevalence
of
abrupt,
intense
rainstorms
is
washing
stuff
out
and
so
I'm
struck.
Well,
there's
a
whole
FEMA
pattern
that
goes
there
and
we've
been
down
that
road.
So
to
speak
a
number
of
times
that
sort
of
it
dislocates
some
of
our
Focus
from
what
other
projects
might
occur
to
or
what
we
might
plan
to.
Oh
boy.
What
do
we
got
to
deal
with
like
this
year
and
so
I?
B
And
I
guess:
I'll
jump
on
that
too
Christine
and
Bart
I
would
not
be
surprised
in
the
coming
months.
If
we
get
asked
to
do
some
tip
amendments
as
the
state
kind
of
starts
to
to
chew
on
Federal
Transportation
dollars
coming
to
do
some
of
the
big
fixes,
you
know
route
four
right
down
around
Killington
that
you
know
a
one-lead
washed
out
like
I'm
sure
that's
going
to
be
a
pretty
significant
project
and
it
may
I'm
not
going
to
speak
for
v-trans
here.
B
But
I
would
not
be
surprised
if
they
came
back
and
said.
We
need
to
shift
the
schedule
a
little
bit
on
some
projects
that
are
on
their
normal
schedule
to
deal
with
some
of
those
emergency
transportation
projects
coming
up
in
the
next
year
or
two
and
I
don't
know
if
either
of
the
Matthews
have
any
more
input
on
that
thought.
But.
H
No
input
as
of
yet
but
I
think
it
is
a
good
thing
just
to
be
aware
of
that.
Either
there
is
a
there
is
the
pot
of
money
to
work
with
and
and
priority
shifts
in
situations
like
this,
and
so
we're
all
trying
to
Grapple
with
a
a
like
a
firm
understanding
of
the
damage
and
what
will
be
needed
to
recover
from
it.
So
I
think
it's
good
to
manage
expectations
in
that
regard.
I
don't
want
to
quite
say
that
we're
at
that
point
yet,
but
it's
certainly
good
to
be
aware
of.
B
Yeah
I
would
expect
that
and
also
there's
just
you
know
the
reality
of
limited
resources.
You
know
not
just
money,
but
you
know
human
resources
at
retrans
and
the
consultant
engineers
and
the
contractors
so
I
would
expect,
there's
probably
going
to
be
a
little
shifting
of
project
schedules
as
we
move
forward
here.
But
this
is
what
we
know
now.
D
So
Charlie
this
is
the
other
Matthew
from
vtrans.
You
know,
I
agree
with
what
Matthew
arancios
said
additionally
for
a
declared
disaster
when
it's
an
emergency
relief
project,
it
shouldn't
affect
the
right,
the
flow
of
formula
funds
to
the
state.
As
long
as
we
can
get
to
the
project
within
270
days,
it's.
A
C
F
C
Both
of
them
are
the
federal
funds
only
including
any
state
or
local
matches
all
right.
Thank
you
and
then
the
second
Big
Ticket
item
that
jumped
out
at
me
was
the
park
and
ride
at
exit
17,
which,
with
your
percentage
numbers,
jumped
out
at
18
and
that
seemed
to
exceed
what
we
were
putting
into
preservations
and
bridges
over
the
course
of
the
four
years.
So
I
was
rather
surprised
that
one
park
and
ride
would
come
to
that
number
in.
E
A
C
C
S
C
My
bad
all
right,
anybody
else
have
any
questions
for
Christine.
Please
raise
your
hand
absent
that
we
have
two
items
that
need
action,
as
you
can
see
from
your
packet.
The
recommendation
that
has
passed
three
different
Gates
is
the
executive
committee
has
looked
at
this.
The
transportation
advisory
committee
has
looked
at
this,
and
staff
has
looked
at
this
and
they're
looking
to
approve
the
federal
fiscal
year,
2024
through
2027,
Transportation,
Improvement
program
for
Chittenden
County,
and
one
caution
for
this
Charlie.
C
B
On
yeah,
just
the
municipalities
and
v-trans,
so
apologies
to
Miles
and
Bruce,
but
just
the
municipalities
of
e-trans
have
a
vote
on
this
and
one
clarification
to
the
memo.
If
we
could
ask
that
the
motion
include
the
changes
that
Christine
kind
of
just
introduced
at
the
end
of
her
presentation,
so
I
guess
approving
the
tip
With
The
Changes
is
noted
by
saf
I'll.
U
C
C
G
C
U
C
U
Just
say
as
an
organization
as
an
mpo
that
I
was
encouraged
to
see
the
project
on
the
circle
alternative
projects,
even
though
I'm
not
a
representative
from
a
cert
Community
anymore,
I
was
for
a
long
period
of
time,
and
it
was
nice
to
see
that
and
I
won't
forward
this
to
Chris
Robb
to
see
all
the
not
started.
Williston
projects
in
phase
three.
C
F
And
there
there's
one
thing
that
I
I
wanted
as
I
was
thinking
about
this
there's
one
thing
that
I
did
want
to
point
out
about
it,
so
this
is
in
Federal
in
the
Federal
Regulations
the
language.
That's
in
this
certification.
It
talks
about
federally
protected
classes
that
we
need
to
consider
and
anything
that's
funded
with
federal
funds.
F
Would
you
work
a
lot
of
equity
work
right
now
in
the
organization
and
I
just
wanted
it
to
be
clear
that
this
isn't
to
preclude
other
things.
This
is
a
technicality
that
we
need
to
do
for
for
the
federal
government.
That's
not
saying
that
we
don't
want
to
it's,
not
our
goal
to
expand
it
further,
but
this
is
the
requirements
that
we're
required
to
do
so
that
didn't
make
much
sense,
but
but
hopefully
that
did
make
sense.
F
C
C
C
C
I
I
just
had
a
quick
question:
there
were
references
to
specific
federal
regulations
and
statutes
in
the
document
is,
if
that's
the
basis
for
all
of
this,
then
I
think
it's
pretty
clear.
So
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
that,
because
I
read
through
all
of
that
and
that's
yeah,
pretty
comprehensive
I
think
we
should
be
able
to
move
forward.
I
U
G
C
Motion,
please
raise
your
hand
or
say
hi
hi
bye.
Anyone
opposed,
please
say,
nay,
all
right,
so
that
passes
unanimously
and
so
ends
our
mpo
action
again.
The
mpo
is
I.
Think
Charlie
correct
us.
If
we're
wrong,
we
are
the
only
mpo
in
the
state.
That's
correct,
despite
the
fact
that
there
are
how
many
Regional
planning
commissions.
B
U
C
Very
good
so
again,
that
is
why
we
have
certain
different
voting
requirements
for
MBO
actions
as
opposed
to
the
general
ccrpc
Regional
Planning
Commission
action,
so
just
just
as
you
know,
when
we
call
for
an
mpo
vote
versus
an
RPC
vote.
Okay,
moving
on
to
item
seven
revised
fiscal
year,
24
budget
I
assume
Forest.
B
So
this
is
actually
the
first
time
I.
Think
I've
ever
asked
the
boards
in
my
15
years
to
amend
a
budget
outside
of
our
you
know:
Spring
May,
adoption
or
January
adoption
of
the
mid-year,
so
I'm
gonna
refer
to
the
memo.
That's
in
your
packet,
which
is
followed
by
the
revised
budget
and
really
they're
two
significant
things
that
happen
really
at
the
kind
of
the
end
of
the
session
or
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
B
If
you
will,
one
is
I
was
I,
guess
a
little
too
conservative
in
counting
on
what
the
legislature
would
approve
for
us
in
terms
of
regional
planning
funds,
and
so
we
ended
up
with
about
a
hundred
and
ninety
thousand
dollar
increase.
When
the
legislature
got
done,
I'd
only
budgeted,
fifty
thousand
trying
to
hedge
a
little
bit
and
being
a
little
insecure,
I
guess
I'll
be
more
confident
in
the
future.
B
But
so
that's
one
big
change,
so
190
000,
more
Revenue
is
coming
our
way
in
fy24
and
then
the
second
thing
that
happened-
and
this
is
really
unrelated
to
the
legislature.
But
we
got
that
large
raise
Grant.
A
2.1
million
dollar
raise
grant
that
they
notified
itself
last
August
we're
still
in
the
process
of
getting
that
under
contract,
but
with
FTA,
but
we
had
budgeted
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
mpo
funds
to
kind
of
manage
that
project.
B
Thinking
that
we
would
have
a
consultant
do
that
we
put
out
an
RFP
and
got
no
response
to
that,
and
so
we
are
shift
or
proposing
to
shift
those
funds
from
a
consultant
category
into
the
Personnel
category
and
have
and
manage
that
project
with
staff.
All
this
is
kind
of
a
long
way
of
saying,
so
those
are
two
Revenue
changes
on
the
first
page
of
the
budget.
B
U
C
No,
no
thank
you.
I
appreciate
it,
and
Jeff
is
our
sharpest
pencil
in
the
pocket
protector.
There
is
our
part-time,
sometimes
State,
Economist.
It
certainly
has
the
best
perspective
to
guide
us
to
be
conservative
and
go
slow
and
not
jump
on
these
bubbles
when
they're
likely
to
burst
so
I
think
we
all
did
take
a
sound
look
at
the
future
and
we
feel
that
this
is
a
sustainable
move
and
thank
you
for
putting
that
out.
C
C
C
J
Awesome
thanks,
Chris
I'm
gonna
provide
a
brief
update
on
where
we
are
with
updating
the
e-cast
plan
with
scheduled
adoption
in
2024,
then
the
preview
item
number
nine
is
Chris
did
Melanie
needle
will
will
check
in
and
she'll
do
a
little
bit
of
an
update
on
what
we've
been
doing
with
enhanced
energy
and
energy
plan.
Specifically
and
so
I
know,
we've
got
a
lot
of
new
board
members,
so
first
just
want
to
talk
about
our
existing
ecos
plan.
J
What's
in
it
and
what
it
does,
and
so
the
ecos
plan
is
our
regional
plan.
It
is
a
comprehensive
plan.
So,
within
the
context
of
this
plan,
we
talk
about
everything
we
talk
about
Health,
we
talk
about
land
use
transportation.
We
talk
about
energy.
We
really
talk
about
the
the
full
gamut
of
topics
that
affect
folks
lives
here
in
Chittenden
County.
J
In
terms
of
how
that
document
is
organized,
we
have
what
we
call
the
main
document
within
that
main
document.
We
have
our
Chittenden
County
Vision,
17,
specific
goals
and
eight
strategies
that
are
going
to
guide
us
to
accomplish
those
goals
with
specific
actions
listed
as
well.
We
also
have
six
supplements
to
that
main
document.
The
first
one
talks
about
our
public
process
that
we
use
to
develop
the
2018
ecos
plan.
We
next
have
our
regional
analysis
portion,
and
this
is
where
we
have
a
lot
of
data
about
demographics,
about
change
within
chitten
County.
J
Third,
we
have
our
regional
plan
itself
and
that's
where
the
kind
of
unique
of
our
future
land
use
map
is
located,
and
we
talk
a
lot
about
how
we
interact
with
this
section
248
and
the
ACT
250
process
and
how
our
plan
is
compatible
with
surrounding
regions.
Supplement.
Four
is
our
comprehensive
Economic
Development
strategy,
which
in
2018
was
just
Chittenden
County,
and
now
we
have
a
seds
with
four
other
excuse
me,
three
other
regions
supplement.
J
J
J
From
the
Transportation
advisory
committee
from
the
Clean
Water
advisory
committee,
that
long-range
funding
committee
reviewed
about
80
of
a
draft
plan,
and
the
original
intention
was
to
adopt
that
plan
in
June
2023
.
in
the
fall
2022.
We
actually
stopped
the
process
and
we
stopped
the
process
for
a
few
different
reasons.
J
I'm
gonna
skip
equity
and
come
back
to
it
for
a
sec
in
a
second,
the
third
bullet
there
you
know
we
we
were
anticipating
having
updated
data
about
energy
use
and
energy
targets
from
the
Vermont
Department
of
Public
Service
last
fall
as
well.
That
data
was
all
delayed,
and
so
we
knew
we
weren't
going
to
be
able
to
update
that
part
of
the
plan.
So
that
was
another
reason
why
we
figured.
We
should
put
a
pause
and
wait
for
that
data
to
come,
and
then
lastly,
you
know
a
lot
of
you
know.
J
And
we
felt
you
know,
even
though
we
had
gone
through
80
of
that
plan
that
we
we
hadn't
talked
about
Equity
enough
and
we
haven't
talked
about
pointing
out
where
there
are
our
problems
within
our
region
and
so
that,
combined
with
knowing
that
annelson
stunner
was
going
to
add
to
her
or
was
being
hired
onto
our
staff.
At
the
time
we
felt
like
we
could
take
the
next
year
to
better
integrate
Equity
throughout
the
entire
plan
on
I.
J
S
J
A
little
bit
more
of
a
quick
synopsis
of
work
to
date,
like
I,
said
80,
plan
done
and
reviewed
by
the
lrpc
and
by
Pac
I'll
mention
this.
While
the
planning
advisory
committee,
we
our
reformatted
the
document
a
little
bit
different.
This
time
we
decided
to
kind
of
combine
a
lot
of
the
regional
analysis
with
the
main
document
we
felt
like
we
were.
J
You
know
missing
some
connection
between
the
key
issues
in
the
regional
analysis,
where
we
talk
about
data
and
the
actual
strategies
and
actions
themselves,
so
we've
combined
and
tried
to
streamline
a
bit
and
then
lastly,
you
know
Melanie's
going
to
give
you
an
update
here
in
a
few
minutes
about
the
work
of
the
enhanced
energy
plan.
Excuse
me,
the
lrpc
energy
subcommittee
and
their
work
on
the
enhanced
energy
plan.
J
J
Place
given
lrpc
has
already
reviewed
the
document,
so
we've
really
focused
on
on
data
updates
and
making
sure
we
have
the
most
up-to-date
data,
we're
also
focusing
on
making
sure
that
we're
addressing
any
of
our
PC
or
PAC
comments
that
came
around
during
the
first
draft
and
then
lastly,
you
know
Ann,
Nelson
and
and
Nelson
actually
has
an
intern
working
with
her
as
well.
We've
started.
J
Places
in
the
document
where
we
can
better
talk
about
or
more
comprehensively
talk
about,
issues
related
to
equity.
You
know,
I
think
the
easiest
example
being
like
talking
about
income
household
income
within
the
region
and
then
talking
about
how
household
income
differentiates
between
different
populations
within
the
region
and
talking
a
little
bit
about
why
providing
some
context
to
why
those
differences
exist,
and
so
we've
we've
been
meeting
with
different
subsets
of
Staff
really
led
by
and
also
to
talk
about
how
we
can
better
interweave
throughout
all
these.
J
J
We
may
not
go
no
paper
this
time
around,
but
our
hope
is
to
develop
a
plan
that
eventually
lives
on
the
web
and
has
our
data
dashboard
our
indicators,
kind
of
integrated
into
the
plan
and
then
also
a
lot
of
our
mapping
and
our
map
dashboards
integrated
on
the
plan.
So
the
natural
plan
itself
becomes
much
more
interactive.
We're
also
hoping
that
in
future
iterations
the
ecos
plan,
we
can
use
that
website
to
help
guide
our
public
engagement
efforts.
J
I
just
want
to
note
that
we're
not
doing
this
for
the
2024
and
and
the
reason
really
is
simple:
Statewide
housing
needs
assessment
was
going
to
come
after
the
2024
plan.
It's
cited
to
be
updated
in
2025.
You
know
our
thoughts
now,
and
this
could
change
is
that
you
know
we
likely
will
do
an
amendment
to
the
ecos
plan
in
2028
to
incorporate
those
those
housing
targets
and
we're
thinking
2028
specifically
because
that
realigns
us
with
the
seds
and
the
MTP,
because
they'll
be
both
be
up
for
expiration
at
that
time.
J
J
C
I'm
gonna
jump
in.
If
you
don't
mind,
Taylor
I
wanted
to
get
a
recap,
certainly
of
the
building
homes
together.
When
you
talked
about
not
setting
goals
in
the
home
act,
Building
Homes
together
was
targeting
5
000
homes
by
2025,
1250
of
which
were
going
to
be
affordable.
Do
you
have
any
clue
on
how
we
met
that?
That
was
a
Target
I
think
regionally
that
we
set
as
a
goal
and.
S
J
C
J
A
C
Back
in
2018-
and
here
we
are
going
well
we're
going
to
wait
till
2028
a
full
10
years
later
to
set
another
Target,
but
I
understand
what
you
just
said
that
we
have
to
wait
for
the
housing
needs
assessment
to
intervene
before
we
set
any
hard
numbers
and
I'm
sure
it
will
become
a
real
arm
wrestling
match
when
targets
get
the
laid
out.
Thank.
J
J
C
D
P
Okay,
great
hi
everyone,
so
this
presentation
is
focused
on
the
enhanced
energy
plan
process
that
we
went
through
for
the
2024
ecos
Plan
update
the
presentation,
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
enhanced
energy
planning
is
at
both
the
regional
and
local
level.
Talk
about
what
the
2018
ecos
plan
said
in
terms
of
energy
key
policies
and
how
we
established
the
use
of
the
ecos
plan
in
the
248
process
and
then
we'll
talk
about
the
proposed
changes
in
the
2024
ecos
plan.
P
Essentially,
that
was
born
out
of
a
lot
of
I
guess
you
know
public
comment
and
opposition
to
large
wind
projects
and
at
the
time
the
legislature
enacted
act
174
to
give
municipalities
and
regions
a
chance
to
do
some
upfront
planning
on
where
they
want
to
have
renewable
energy
generation.
Because
we
recognize
we
need
more
renewable
energy
generation
in
the
state.
P
So
they
established
the
energy
planning
standards
that
a
municipality
or
a
region
would
have
to
follow
in
order
to
get
substantial
deference
or
greater
weight
higher
influence
in
the
public
utility
commissions
process
for
permitting
renewable
energy
generation
projects.
If
you
don't
have
an
enhanced
energy
plan
that
follows
the
set
of
energy
planning
standards,
the
Public
Utility
Commission
only
gives
you
due
considerations,
so
less
emphasis
on
on
your
plan,
both
at
the
regional
or
town
level,
the
energy
planning
standards.
P
They
have
pretty
much
three
components:
analysis
and
targets,
which
provides
an
entity
with
an
idea
of
the
magnitude
of
change
needed
for
energy
use
in
the
heating,
electricity
and
transportation
sector,
as
well
as
targets
for
renewable
energy
generation.
How
much
renewable
energy
generation
do
we
need
to
produce
to
get
to
90
percent
renewable
by
2050.
P
and
then
Pathways?
What
are
the
actions
that
the
region
or
the
municipality?
In
this
case
the
region
is
going
to
take
in
order
to
reduce
total
energy,
become
more
renewable,
Electrify,
the
heating
and
transportation
sector,
and
then
a
set
of
maps
that
identifies
areas
that
are
suitable
for
renewable
energy?
Generation
given
High
potentials
for
solar
and
wind
and
natural
resource
constraints,
so
at
the
time
when
the
enhanced
interview
planning
standards
first
came
to
be,
you
know
we
were
Guided
by
the
comprehensive
energy
plan
that
was
current
in
2016..
P
So
in
2018
it
was
the
first
time
we
adopted
an
enhanced
energy
plan.
It
was
a
two-year
process.
Through
that
process
we
had
an
energy
subcommittee
of
the
lrpc.
We
established
key,
citing
and
suitability
policies
that
talks
about
directing
renewable
energy
generation
away
from
natural
resource
constraints,
so
in
particular,
there's
known
constraints
which
are
the
most
restrictive,
so
avoiding
those
known
constraints.
Those
are
wetlands,
flood
ways,
for
example,
and
then
there's
possible
constraints,
so
they're
a
little
less
restrictive
if
you're
going
to
impact
them,
you
need
to
do
modification
examples
of.
O
P
P
Overall,
our
total
energy
demand
would
go
down
into
the
future
and
planning
for
new
growth
in
areas
planned
for
growth,
so
that
we're
reducing
vehicle
miles,
traveled
fossil
fuels
in
the
transportation
sector,
giving
people
more
opportunity
to
walk
and
bike
and
take
transit
and
car
share
and
carpool,
and
then
doing
a
renewable
energy
generation
analysis
to
understand
how
ccrpc
the
how
Technic
County
could
Advance
90
renewable
by
2050
and
then
lastly,
transform
transportation
and
heating
sectors
to
be
powered
by
renewable
electricity.
So
what
that
looks?
P
P
We
started
the
process
in
March
pleased
to
say
that
our
last
meeting
is
next
week,
so
we
were
able
to
do
the
update
in
five
months,
the
date
the
energy
data
that
Taylor
talked
about
being
delayed.
We
finally
got
so
we
were
able
to
do
that
process.
We
have
representation
from
Richmond,
Milton,
Essex,
Williston,
Underhill,
Charlotte
and
South
Burlington,
so
I
think
we
had
a
good
cross-section
of
municipalities
on
that
group
and
then
lrpc
will
review
the
enhanced
energy
plan
draft
at
their
meeting
in
August.
P
So
the
proposed
changes
in
the
2024
ecos
plan
include
a
new
map
data
on
rooftop
solar
potential.
The
last
time
around.
We
did
not
have
good
data
on
rooftop,
solar
potential,
the
public
service
department
and
the
Vermont
Center
for
geographic
information,
utilize,
the
lidar
data
to
get
better
estimations
on
what
is
possible
for
rooftop
analysis.
P
That's
really
helpful
for
our
urban
communities
to
understand
what
their
potential
is
for
meeting
the
renewable
energy
generation
Target,
and
we
have
a
little
bit
more
confidence
in
the
Solar
potential
for
roofs
this
time
around
than
we
did
the
last
time
around.
And
then
the
state
made
modifications
to
these
State
natural
resource
constraints.
P
They
were
a
very
minor
highest
priority
Forest
blocks
along
riparian
and
surface
water
areas
was
added
and
unconfirmed
vernal
pools,
which
are
seasonal,
Wetlands,
I,
think
change
from
a
known
to
a
possible
constraint.
So
it
was
really
not
big
changes,
but
all
of
our
wind
and
solar
energy
resource
Maps
needed
to
be
updated
because
of
those
changes.
And
then
we
also
made
sure
that
we
were
using
the
correct
local
constraints
to
represent
some
of
the
land
use
measures
in
our
municipalities
and
then
in
terms
of
the
pathways
I
talked
about
them
earlier.
P
Those
are
our
strategies
and
actions
in
the
ecos
plan
that
represent
how
we're
going
to
get
to
where
the
data
tells
us
where
we
need
to
be
so.
The
energy
subcommittee
proposed
additional
language
about
net
metering
and
supporting
increases
in
the
maximum
size
of
net
metered
projects
and
to
establish
a
tiered
system
for
net
metering
rates
to
make
it
more
Equitable
and
allow
for
public
and
non-profit
entities
to
access.
P
Program,
another
pathway
that
has
been
proposed
or
an
action
that
has
been
proposed
is
advocating
for
the
Public
Utility
Commission
to
open
up
the
rulemaking
regarding
sound
levels
from
wind
generation
facilities.
Currently,
the
sound
rules
in
Vermont
make
wind
generation
infeasible,
and
the
Energy
subcommittee
felt
that
we
need
to
encourage
the
state
to
take
another.
P
Look
at
that
in
order
to
meet
our
renewable
energy
generation
targets
and
having
all
the
potential
Technologies
available
to
us,
and
then
the
Third
change
is
velco
and
just
identifying
that
our
transmission
and
distribution
system
does
have
some
constraints
and
supporting
changes
to
how
the
statute
is
written.
That
overseas
velco
to
address
grid
constraints
in
an
equitable
and
proactive
manner.
S
S
P
Equity
assessment,
as
a
result
of
the
climate
action
plan
producing
the
just
transition
framework,
the
public
service
department
added
this
Equity
assessment,
which
I
think
is
a
is
a-
is
a
good
change
if
I
may
editorialize,
because
you
know
in
the
enhanced
energy
planning
process.
If,
if
a
region
or
a
municipality
chooses
to
do
this,
it
makes
Equity
a
requirement
which
I
think
is
a
is
a
good
thing
and
you
know
ccrpc
has
been
working
really
hard
to
increase
our
Equity
capacity.
P
So
we
took
a
look
at
energy
specifically
here
to
understand
where
our
deficiencies
were
in
talking
about
Equity.
How
is
the
electric
transformation
to
electric
vehicles
and
cold
climate
heat
pumps
going
to
impact
marginalized
communities
and
then
strengthen
the
language
to
identify
how
marginalized
communities
could
not
be
burdened
and
can
be
thought
of
first
and
be
brought
along
so
that
they're
included
in
the
Tran
the
transformation
as
well?
So
we
really
strengthened
that
language
in
the
energy
section
and
I
know.
P
Another
proposed
change
is
how
we
have
established
our
renewable
energy
generation
Target.
So
the
renewable
energy
generation
Target
is
a
required
standard.
In
the
2018
ecos
plan.
We
had
a
range
there's
a
little
bit
of
flexibility
in
the
guidance
from
the
public
service
department
on
how
to
do
this.
P
This
time
around
the
public
service
department
gave
us
a
tool
which
was
very
helpful
and
streamline
the
process
and
and
made
the
update
a
lot
more
efficient
than
it
was
the
last
time,
but
the
tool
only
allowed
us
to
do
a
single
Target,
so
you
can
see
on
the
screen
that
we
are
anticipating
that
chitney
County
needs
to
plan
for
about
a
57
increase
in
Renewables,
from
where
we
are
today
at
about
606
000
megawatt
hours.
We
need
to
increase
up
to
about
954
000
megawatt
hours.
P
P
We
are
planning
for
almost
a
50
decline
in
energy
demand
and
this
is
total
energy,
so
that
graph
also
includes
transportation
and
then
going
down
to
the
bottom
on
the
left
right.
That's
the
residential
sector,
final
energy
demand-
and
you
can
see
that
this
is
where
we
see
the
big
transition
to
electricity
in
in
buildings
and
then
same
in
the
transportation
sector.
We
are
seeing
also
a
decrease
in
demand,
but
a
big
increase
in
electricity
and
we're
seeing
the
fossil
fuels
being
phased
out
in
2050.
I
should
have
started
with.
P
There
was
two
scenarios
that
were
done.
The
first
one
is
the
Baseline
scenario,
which
is
business
as
usual,
and
then
the
cap
mitigation
scenario
seeks
to
model
the
climate
action
plan,
so
the
shorter
bars
are
where
we
need
to
be
and
what
we're
planning
for.
For
the
climate
action
plan
mitigation
scenario.
P
So
that
is
just
a
really
quick
draft.
Enhanced
energy
plan
happy
to
take
any
comments
and
questions
and
also
just
wanted
to
share
the
link
where
all
the
energy
subcommittee
information
is
feel
free
to
follow
along
see
what
our
process
has
been
up
to
this
point,
so
I'm
going
to
stop
sharing
my
screen
and
I
wonder
if
anyone
has
any
questions.
C
I
think
Melanie,
you
mentioned
in
your
memo
that
we're
going
to
be
getting
a
deeper
dive
on
this
on
the
October
board
meeting,
and
all
of
this
is
part
of
the
second
draft,
we're
getting
a
closer
close-up
of
the
enhanced
energy
plan,
which
was
being
included
in
the
second
draft
that
Taylor
had
referred
to
in
his
previous
presentation.
So
I
mean
this
is
good
stuff,
I.
C
C
B
J
J
So,
as
you
folks
recall,
ccrpc
adopted
a
comprehensive
Economic
Development
strategy
in
cooperation
with
three
other
regions:
Central
Vermont,
Addison
County
in
Rutland,
I
think
back
in
either
February
or
March,
and
so
that
was
kind
of
step.
One
and
step
two
is
to
consider
whether
or
not
ccrpc
wants
to
work
with
our
our
partners
in
that
same
geography
to
create
an
economic
development.
D
J
Is
it's
a
comprehensive
strategic,
Economic,
Development
document?
In
our
case
again,
we
adopted
that
in
cooperation
with
our
partners
in
terms
of
parts
of
the
state
and
our
saids
Not
only
was
adopted
here
locally,
but
was
also
approved
by
the
US
Eda
potential
second
2023,
and
so
now
that
we
have
that
approved
said.
So
we
can
consider
whether
or
not
we
want
to
create
an
economic
development
District
the
rest
of
Vermont.
J
Besides,
our
four
regions
is
already
a
part
of
an
economic
development
District,
so
I
just
or
or
the
there
were.
The
loan
outliers
Eda
is
very
interested
in
US.
Creating
an
economic
development
District
in
Economic
Development
district
is
a
multi-jurisdictional
area
that
does
economic
development
planning
on
a
regional.
J
J
We
have
several
of
those
within
the
West
Central
Vermont
region
here
in
Chittenden
County,
it's
at
least
one
census
tract
in
Winooski,
at
least
one
census
tract
in
Burlington
as
well
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
that
opportunity
zone
is
not
Burlington
also
counts,
but
we
certainly
have
that
outside
chicken
County
Berry,
City,
Rutland
city
and
I'm,
trying
to
think
in
Addison.
If
there
are
any
or
not
I,
can't
think
off
the
top
of
my
head.
J
J
J
Development
District
along
the
border
here
in
Vermont,
receives
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
every
three
years.
So
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
is
to
do
Economic,
Development,
planning
and
Implement
their
sets,
not
quite
by
right.
They
still
have
to
apply,
but
it's
a
pretty
consistent
photo
source
by
being
an
EDD.
J
J
Right
now
we're
just
trying
to
give
you
the
basics
about
what
an
EDD
is:
we're
still
working
with
our
partners
to
develop
potential
bylaws
for
this
EDD,
our
government
structure
and
developing
a
draft
mou
about
what
our
kind
of
responsibilities
to
each
other
may
be.
Once
we
create
EDD
right
now,
we're
thinking
that
we
will
create
the
EDD
via
mou.
J
There
won't
be
a
separate
you
know
either
non-profit
or
governmental
entity
it'll
just
be
via
mou
likely
with
one
partner
serving
as
Fiscal
Agent
I
hate
to
say
it
probably
going
to
be
us
because
Eda
knows
us,
CDA
likes
us,
Eda
trust
Forest.
So
we
may
be
that
Fiscal
Agent,
but
perhaps
with
other
partners
taking
the
lead
in
terms
of
leaving
the
program
at
portions
of
being
Edd
and
implementing
the
sets
itself,
at
least
that's
my
hope.
J
J
D
U
U
By
doing
this,
because
I
know
that
you
know
places
like
Addison
County
now
are
part
of
that,
as
well
as
Upstate
New
York
and
Northern
New
Hampshire
and
northern
Maine
and
I
just
I
mean
there
doesn't
ever
seem
to
be
any
economic
sense
to
these
regions
and
I
just
was
wondering
whether
or
not
this
was
an
opportunity
to
plug
into
that
type
of
funding.
Are
we
going
to
still
remain
separate,
and
apart
from
that.
J
As
of
the
past
couple
years,
any
municipality
is
anyway,
it's
not.
Your
non-profit
within
Vermont
is
eligible
to
apply
for
mbrc
funding,
regardless
of
geography.
It
didn't
used
to
be
that
way
and
you
and
you
don't
necessarily
need
a
seds
or
to
be
a
part
of
an
EDD
to
apply
for
mbrc
funding,
so
no
short-term
changes.
J
I,
don't
think
it's
going
to
head
in
that
direction,
but
but
let
me
put
it
this
way
you
know
at
present,
you
know,
let's
use
the
community
selling
Center
as
an
example.
Last
year
they
received
an
mbrc
Grant
and
every
mbrc
awardee
is
required
to
work
with,
what's
called
an
ldd,
a
local
development
District
to
help
administer
their
Grant
right.
Now
that
always
defaults
to
the
RPC
pretty
much
unless
the
RDC
wants
to
do
it.
J
B
U
U
B
I
think
one
thought
is
that
related
to
the
northern
borders,
Regional
Commission
funding,
they
have
been
asking
that
any
projects
they
found
be
a
priority
of
the
region
in
some
way,
and
so
I
do
think.
Through
this
seds
and
and
economic
development
District
process,
we
do
have
the
ability
to
kind
of
plug
in
there
a
little
more
tightly
with
our
Economic
Development
priorities,
and
you
know
kind
of
elevate
in
terms
of
where
we
stand
in
line
for
grant
funding
out
of
that
organization.
J
And
so
you
know
the
westwards.
The
shelburns,
the
Hinesburg
heinzberg
is
like
a
key
example.
I
talked
to
Eda
about
the
water
project
in
Hinesburg
for
like
six
months,
trying
to
make
something
work
and
they
just
couldn't
meet
the
criteria.
Even
the
special
distress
criteria-
and
so
that's
part
of
the
impetus
here
too,
is
that
we
can
work
cooperatively
to
kind
of
make
these
more
competitive.
Grant
applications,
Dana
I.
N
Taylor
talks
about
you
know
doing
the
studs
concerned
about
a
casual
like
no
problem
basis,
but
it
was
a
ton
of
work.
Multi,
multi-years
and
Taylor
was
so
awesome.
He
just
led
the
whole
thing
always
kept
his
cool
there.
There
were
differences
in
the
regions
that
we
had
to
iron
out
some
of
the
regions.
You
know
I
had
different
feelings
about
the
ACT
250
component
of
it,
and
so
this
all
had
to
be
finessed,
and
so
there's
much
more
that
went
on
behind
the
scenes
and
Taylor
should
really
be
complimented.
C
J
C
H
C
B

B
B
S-100
or
it's
act.
47.
do
I
have
that
retailer
I
think
it's
act
47
this
year.
So-
and
this
is
you
know
when
Keisha
came
to
our
annual
meeting
last
month-
this
was
the
bill
she
was
kind
of
talking
about.
There
are
four
studies
here:
the
rpcs
are
the
lead
entity
on
the
regional
future,
land
use,
mapping
and
number
three
there.
B
I
am
hopeful
more
hopeful
than
I've,
been
in
my
15
years
and
will
see
significant
act,
250
change
that
will
kind
of
realign
how
F250
engages
with
municipalities
and
developers
to
better
promote
smart
growth.
So
I'll
leave
it
at
that,
but
and
the
rest
of
these
I
am
not
going
to
review.
Unless
somebody
has
a
question
unless
you
want
me
to
Chris.
B
You
know
they
did
extend
our
ability
to
do
what
we're
doing
right
now
for
another
I,
don't
know
eight
or
nine
months,
but
the
legislature
will
have
to
address
whether
we
can
continue
to
do.
Meetings
like
this,
like
100,
virtually
to
be
specific
and
also
vlct,
has
been.
You
know,
trying
to
make
advances
on
changing
the
Municipal
Power
statute,
so
that
municipalities
don't
have
to
go
with
Charter
changes
to
the
legislature
all
the
time.
B
B
If
you
want
to
change
committees
or
if
you're,
not
on
a
committee,
if
you
want
to
get
on
a
committee,
there's
a
couple
different
things
that
happen.
One
is
that
we
we
have
the
Regional
Board
member
appointments.
You
see
for
those
categories.
Agriculture,
socioecon,
housing,
Bruce
is
here
tonight
and
Miles
was
here
earlier
for
conservation,
environment,
those
appointments
and
then
committees
you
see
down
below
with
I'm,
not
going
to
read
all
of
them
out.
B
But
you
know
the
finance
committee
board
development
committee,
upwp
committee,
an
attack,
there's
a
board
member
that
serves
on
that
there's
a
planning
advisory
committee.
We
have
one
board
member
serving
on
that.
The
long-range
planning
committee
is
pretty
much
wrapping
up
their
work
in
the
next
two
or
three
months.
So
hopefully
we
don't
have
any
significant
changes
on
that
committee.
B
We
have
a
board
member
and
an
alternate
on
the
clean
water
advisory
committee,
updated
the
brownfields
advisory
committee.
There
is
a
spot
for
a
board
member.
There
you'll
see
a
couple
blank
lines
on
this
page.
Those
are
kind
of
really
where
there's
specific
openings
for
a
board
member,
if
so
desired,
yeah,
so
Chris
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
add
more
to.
C
C
C
Thank
you
and
please,
you
know,
send
the
word
out
and
about
because
we
have
a
number
of
people
who
are
new
and
at
the
same
time,
this
is
a
place
where
we
can
get
started
and
a
number
of
people
who
probably
have
been
doing
it
for
too
many
years
and
would
like
to
you
know,
give
way
to
the
next
generation
of
thinking.
So
these
are
a
lot
of
the
working
committees
that
this
Planning
Commission
puts
together,
and
this
is
where
a
lot
of
the
decisions
are
made.
C
C
So
this
is
they're
not
desperate
demands
on
your
time,
but
they're,
very
important
work
and
very
detailed
for
those
specifics
and
we've
just
added,
as
you
can
see
economic
development
in
some
regards,
and
we
have
clean
water
service
which
we're
doing
as
well,
and
the
studies
that
are
coming
down
will
probably
impact
a
lot
of
the
committee
work
that
we
have.
So
please
raise
your
hand.
Thank
you
very
much.
Ben
I
appreciate.
I
L
B
D
B
B
O
All
right,
I'm
gonna
share
my
screen.
I
just
have
one
slide,
but
figured
it
might
be
help
to
visualize
this
instead
of
me
just
talking
at
you
all
right,
quick
update
on
my
ends
internally.
What
I'm
working
on
some
of
you
already
know
all
of
this,
but
an
equity
statement
that
I've
been
working
with
all
ccrpc
staff
on
developing
and
now
I'm,
bringing
to
Community
Partners
and
the
equity
advisory
committee.
O
As
Taylor
mentioned,
I've
been
digging
into
the
ecos
plan,
which
is
I,
can
just
trying
to
flag
where
we
can
pull
in
some
more
Equity
language
context
and
Framing
and
data
points
to
really
try
to
do
our
best
internally
to
to
work
in
that
language
before
we
bring
it
to
to
the
public
to
review
still
working
with
Equity
advisory
committee.
We
have
a
meeting
next
week.
O
A
lot
of
my
time
goes
to
meeting
with
Community
Partners
and
getting
involved
in
other
Equity
initiatives
to
figure
out
what
other
folks
are
working
on
what's
front
in
people's
minds.
What
should
engagement
look
like
do
people
know
that
we
exist
just
kind
of
getting
a
lay
of
the
land
as
I
start
to
build
out
this
Equity
action
plan
and
then
working
with
the
equity
advisory
committee
on
figuring
out
how
to
use
Federal
Highway
funds
to
support
Community
capacity
building
for
greater
engagement
in
our
transportation
projects.
O
This
is
basically
designing
a
grant
application
and
process
to
give
out
to
Community
Partners
over
the
course
of
the
next
year
to
do
just
that,
build
capacity
basically
more
formally
partner
with
them,
so
that
we
can
support
their
work
before
we
ask
them
to
support
our
work
and
then
involvement
here
and
there
with
specific
ccrpc
projects
as
much
as
I
can
as
much
as
I
have
time
for
yeah
that's
kind
of
a
broad
overview.
Does
anybody
have
any
questions
or
thoughts.
C
C
O
R
O
Really
it's
like
so
one
adding
some
like
upfront
framing
to
this
Regional
plan
of
what
are
we
talking
about?
What
is
the
history
of
planning
and
the
role?
What
role
should
Equity
play
in
this
plan?
How
is
it
going
to
be
woven
throughout,
and
why
is
that
important
kind
of
upfront
and
in
there
hopefully
adding
some
language
around
data
and
like
what
data
are
we
included,
including
in
the
plan?
O
So
if
we're
talking
about
incarceration,
we
need
to
be
talking
about
incarceration
by
race.
If
we're
talking
about
income,
we
need
to
be
talking
about
income
by
race
and
adding
some
context
around
bullet
points.
That
might
just
be
a
data
point
to
then
say:
okay,
well,
do
we
know
why
this
is
the
case
and
if,
if
we
know
why
it's
the
case,
can
that
help
us
inform
our
strategy
moving
forward?
C
C
B
B
Just
wasn't
quick
enough
with
the
trigger
finger
to
remove
sorry
about
that,
so
that
was
S100
studies.
Brownfield
award
just
to
let
you
know
actually
EPA
was
supposed
to
do
a
press
conference
last
week
announcing
that
we
have
gotten
a
500
000
award
from
EPA
for
brownfields,
which
is
what
Taylor
was
just
referencing.
We
have
money
now
and
we
also
there's
another
100
000
or
so
of
State
Brownfield
money.
B
B
So
if
you
know
sites
that
need
help,
this
is
a
good
time
and
then
finally,
and
somebody's
got
to
remind
me
of
merp,
but
the
municipal
energy
resilience
program
I
think
it
is
that
can
help
municipal
buildings,
there's
applications
live
and
now
for
assessments
and
things
to
access
that
was
the
42
or
44
million
dollar
program
that
the
legislature
approves.
So
if
you
have
municipal
buildings
and
hopefully
you've
your
your
town,
staff
at
least
has
heard
from
anganda
about
that.
B
I
I
was
I
was
a
little
surprised.
I
I
know
that
right
now
it's
at
the
energy
audit
level
and
level
one
level
two,
but
we
have
an
interest
in
this
and
but
I
I'm
I'm
curious
as
to
why
it's
being
pitched,
it
seems
to
be
being
pitched
as
looking
to
go
to
alternative
fuel
sources
away
from
fossil
fuel,
and
yet
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
providing
funds
or
supporting
actual
putting
in
place
or
implementing
a
transition
to
solar,
for
example,.
J
I
I
And
and
I've
I've
been
working
within
a
really
spectacular
and
I
appreciate
all
of
her
efforts.
Just
I
guess:
I
was
looking
for
the
collective
whiz
great,
the
the
collective
wisdom.
Perhaps
there
were
greater
insights
because
they
you
know
they
because
of
the
inclement
weather
they
canceled.
The
the
big
presentation
meeting
in
Milton
on
was
a
week
ago
or
a
Monday,
so
that.
J
B
Yeah
that
one
of
the
Genesis
is
for
that
program
was
really
about
shifting
thermal,
so
I
think
it's.
It
may
be
largely
related
to
solar
panels.
Not
being
you
know,
a
huge
factor
in
thermal.
You
know
warming
of
your
building.
So
that's
my
guess,
but
I
you
know
it's
nothing.
I've
specifically
talked
to
the
state
about,
but
okay,
thank
you.
Yep
I
hope
that
helps
yeah
happy
to
take
any
other
questions.
That's
all
I've
got
Mr
chair.
