Today
is
august
15th
2022.,
thank
you
for
joining
us
in
person
in
contoist,
auditorium
and
online
for
the
burlington
city
council
meeting
the
time
is
6
10.
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
we
do
have
a
couple
of
counselors
that
are
joining
us
by
zoom.
That
would
be
counselors
hightower
and
councillor
hanson.
A
A
A
A
We
anticipate
that
these
executive
sessions
together
will
last
until
possibly
until
7
30,
but
maybe
not
quite
that
long
and
before
we
go
into
executive
session.
I
don't
see
the
administration
here,
so
I
think
we'll
move
on
to
just
simply
the
motions
to
go
on
into
executive
session
with
that
counselor
house.
Could
you
please
make
the
first
motion
to
go
into
executive
session.
E
Move
that
the
council
find
the
premature
general
public
knowledge
of
information
concerning
negotiations
of
labor
relations.
Agreements
with
employees
would
clearly
place
the
city
at
a
substantial
disadvantage
with
such
negotiations,
and
I
moved
that
the
council
will
find
that
premature
general
public
knowledge
of
information
concerning
negotiation
of
contractual
agreements
would
place
the
city
at
a
substantial
disadvantage
with
such
negotiations.
A
A
A
Those
of
us
who
are
here
in
person
will
now
leave
contours
and
go
downstairs
to
the
busher
conference
room
and
there
will
be
a
special
link
to
be
able
to
join
us
for
the
counselors
who
are
online
to
join
us
for
the
executive
session
and
when
that
is
over,
we
will
be
back
upstairs
and
continue
the
open
session
of
the
meeting.
Thank
you.

A
From
being
an
executive
session,
we're
now
in
open
session
once
again,
the
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
the
is
3.01,
which
is
the
public
forum.
We
do
have
a
number
of
people
that
are
here
in
contours
to
speak
in
public
forum
and
there
are
two
that
are
on
line.
However,
I
think
only
one
of
them
is
online,
the
other
one
is
actually
in
contois,
because
I
saw
him
so
before
we
begin
the
public
forum
just
a
few
pieces
of
information.
A
The
system
on
the
table
in
contours-
that's
in
front
of
me,
has
three
lights.
A
green
light
will
shine
when
you
begin
speaking,
the
second
yellow
light
when
you
have
30
seconds
left
and
the
last
is
a
red
light
that
will
shine
when
your
time
is
up.
We
ask
that
you
please
try
to
wrap
up
your
comments
when
the
sound
indicates
that
your
time
is
up
so
that
everyone
has
an
equal
amount
of
time
to
speak
and
we
keep
the
public
forum
meeting.
So
we
can
get
on
to
our
deliberative
agenda.
A
A
We
do
ask
that
you
try
to
use
respectful
language
when
you're
speaking
during
public
forum,
please
your
direct
your
comments
to
me
as
the
chair
and
not
to
anyone
else
at
this
table
and
do
not
personalize
your
comments.
We
really
want
to
hear
what
you
have
to
say
and
we
are
able
to
listen
much
more
intently.
A
J
And
I
would
suggest
that
on
the
fall
election,
that
you
include
a
ballot
where
people
where
this
take
the
city's
pulse,
where
they
get
to
weigh
in
on
maybe
a
5,
our
712
map,
which
is
what
you're
looking
at
now
or
an
8
12
map
or
a
714
map.
And
let
the
city
weigh
in
and
it
doesn't
mean
that
you
they
have
to
govern
your
decision.
But
at
least
you'll
know
how
they
feel
about
certain
plans.
So
I
recommend
doing
that.
K
A
K
So
my
name
is
katherine:
I'm
a
physician,
local
physician
in
burlington,
and
I
am
talking
about
the
need
for
oversight
with
the
canada,
local
cannabis
control
board,
so
I'm
speaking
in
support
of
a
local
cannabis
control
board.
So
the
reason
I'm
doing
that
is
because
what
we've
seen
is
that
in
the
cannabis
control
board,
the
state
national
cannabis
control
board
has
said
that
a
cannabis
shop,
a
marijuana
head
shop,
can
be
right
next
door
to
a
nursery
or
just
500
feet
from
a
school.
K
The
state
cannabis
control
board
has
said
that
there's
they
have
lobbied
the
legislature
that
there's
no
need
for
any
limit
on
thc,
so
100
thc
is
what
they
want.
Burlington
could
take
a
stricter
view.
We
know
that
in
amsterdam,
one
out
of
two
of
the
admissions
to
first
first
presentation
psychosis,
it
would
not
occur
if
they
had
weren't
exposed
to
high
thc
cannabis.
High
thc
cannabis
is
defined
as
just
10
percent
thc
cannabis.
It's
almost
something,
that's
not
even
able
to
you,
can't
even
find
it
in
colorado
and
california
anymore.
K
This
is
a
risk
to
our
children.
High
thc
is
associated
with
suicidality
severe
mental
illness,
higher
risk
of
addiction.
We
know
that
the
industry
is
interested
in
high
thc
cannabis
because
it
is
more
addictive
and
80
of
the
products
can
be
consumed
by
just
20
of
the
users,
which
means
their
business
model
is
to
create
as
much
dependence
as
possible.
K
We
know
that
in
denver,
the
local
control
board
has
surveyed
their
shops
and
they
found
that
80
percent
of
their
shops
had
mold
in
it.
That's
something
that
we've
seen
in
in
vermont
and
that's
something
that
burlington
could
also
help
control
so
for
better
regulation.
Please
endorse
our
local
cannabis
control
board
great.
L
Good
evening,
good
evening
in
september,
2019,
the
city
council,
with
only
one
may
vote
past
the
climate
crisis
resolution
that
night
karen
paul
wrote
on
her
facebook
page.
The
reality
is
that
our
plan
is
a
fragile
resource
entrusted
to
our
care,
and
it's
up
to
us
to
be
responsible
guardians.
We,
as
the
citizens
of
this
planet,
are
in
what
I
would
call
unchartered
territory.
L
There
is
no
documented
historic
precedent
for
the
action
we
need
to
take
and
I'm
going
to
repeat
that
part.
There
is
no
documented
historic
precedent
for
the
action
we
need
to
take,
which
includes
engaging
in
extraordinary
transitions
in
transportation,
infrastructure,
renewable
energy
use,
energy
efficiency
and
electric
electrification
technologies.
L
This
is
over
three
times
as
much
as
all
the
burlington
government
operations
at
a
minimum.
The
climate
action
plan,
the
net
zero
initiative,
the
goals
of
these
projects,
the
work
that
you
and
others
are
doing
to
try
and
reach
these
goals
are
completely
undermined
by
the
emissions
generated
by
these
planes
at
our
airport.
L
A
M
A
lot
a
lot
of
topics
on
the
agenda
tonight
so
try
to
be
quick
and
succinct.
Putting
on
the
former
school
board.
Commissioner
hat
from
ward
two
four
terms
in
the
early
2000s,
I
want
to
speak
in
support
of
the
need
for
new
high
school.
We
needed
a
new
high
school
20
years
ago,
and
the
discovery
of
the
pcb
toxins
at
the
existing
high
school
has
very
clearly
accelerated
that
need.
So
I
wanted
to
encourage
you
guys
to
support
it.
Good
schools
are
the
heart
of
our
community
and
without
good
schools.
M
You
know
we're
on
the
path
to
becoming
the
next
san
francisco,
which
leads
me
to
my
next
point
as
a
downtown
resident
and
a
newly
appointed
member
of
the
marketplace.
Commission
speaking
as
a
resident
and
as
an
individual
commissioner,
not
on
behalf
of
the
entire
commission,
I
am
concerned
about
the
ongoing
increase
in
gun
violence.
Here,
we've
had
a
number
of
incidents.
M
M
M
I
think
some
of
you
have
seen
it
and
for
those
of
you
who
haven't,
I
suspect,
it's
probably
just
a
short
time
before
you
will,
but
I
would
just
ask
that
you
know
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
want
to
try
to
come
up
with
a
plan,
that's
going
to
ensure
that
everyone
has
the
same
voice
and
when
you
move
to
multi-member
districts
in
single
member
districts,
we'll
finish
this
another
time.
Thank
you.
N
Two
months
ago
I
was
a
part
of
the
violence
that
you're
talking
about
when
I
was
assaulted
on
church
street.
I've
been
assaulted
many
times
in
the
last
year
and
a
half
in
burlington,
and
it's
getting
really
disgusting.
But
the
problem
is,
is
that
none
of
you
are
actually
talking
about
the
real
problems
and
the
causes,
just
like
always
you're
avoiding
them,
because
you
don't
have
any
answers,
because
you're
not
interested
police
are
why
guns
and
drugs
are
all
over
this
country
with
the
military
they're,
the
only
people.
N
A
P
Yet
this
this
incident
still
happened
in
front
of
chief
murad,
as
well
as
the
state
troopers,
and
so
I
you
know
it's
it's
hard
for
me
to
trust.
The
investigation
when
the
vsp
is
like
standing
there
actually
participating
in
the
assault
on
this
man
who
never
was
charged.
The
man
was
black,
and
this
happened
right
next,
a
few
feet
away
from
where
the
city
had
painted
black
lives
matter.
A
Q
Didn't
intend
to
speak,
but
I
I
feel
inspired
to
share
something
with
you.
So
that's
a
healthcare
worker
I'm
seeing
levels
of
trauma
that
I've
never
seen
in
my
career
and
it's
affecting
me
and
other
providers,
including
the
police,
including
the
fire
department,
emts
teachers,
people,
those
of
us
working
with
people-
and
I
find
myself
often
reflecting
like.
Why
is
it
so
bad?
Q
And
it's
because
the
government
has
neglected
the
social
determinants
of
health
for
a
long
time
and
the
social
determinants
of
health
are
connected
with
the
social
determinants
of
crime
and
so
many
other
things.
So
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
work
together
in
the
next
few
years
to
address
this
together,
I'm
hoping
as
a
social
worker.
I
have
I've,
been
doing
harm
reduction
work
in
burlington
since
1999,
probably
I'm
sorry,
I
had
coveted
for
the
third
time
recently,
I'm
not
contagious,
but
I'm
still
winded
and
weak.
Q
I've
been
a
harm
reduction
practitioner
since
1999,
and
you
know
originally.
We
were
trained
in
looking
at
substance
abuse,
but
that
now
I
apply
it
to
any
risky
behavior.
It
could
be
video
games,
it
could
be
sex.
It
could
be
anything
anything
a
person
does
that
has
risk,
but
how
come
the
government?
How
come?
Q
A
Thank
you
so
much
brian
there
was
one
other
person
who
would
who
had
submitted
the
form
online,
but
I
see
that
he's
here
mike
fisher
did
you
did
you
want
to
speak?
I'm
trying
to
I
feel
like
I
saw?
Oh,
maybe
not,
maybe
not
I
apologize.
I
did
not
see
him.
I
thought
I
had
so.
There
is
one
burlington
resident
who
had
requested
to
speak
online
and
that
is
mike
fisher.
I
don't
have
the
the
zoom
capability,
since
there
was
only
there
were
only
two
speakers.
R
All
right,
thank
you,
president
paul
I'm
mike
fisher,
burlington
resident
and
former
school
board
member,
I'm
speaking
in
support
of
the
motion.
Sorry
speaking
in
support
of
the
motion
to
approve
the
high
school
bond
ballot
item,
I'll
note
that
one
of
my
daughters,
just
graduated
bhs
and
the
other
will
spend
her
entire
four
years
at
downtown
bhs.
So
my
family
will
not
directly
benefit
from
a
new
high
school.
R
However,
I
know
that
our
city
needs
a
permanent
high
school
in
order
to
not
just
attract
new
families,
but
also
to
stem
the
tide
of
families.
Leaving
burlington,
vermont's
largest
city
must
have
a
high
school.
This
is
more
than
a
critical
need.
It's
a
city
emergency
over
the
prior
two
elections,
mayor
weinberger
and
this
council
put
forth
municipal
bond
items,
knowing
that
the
school
board
would
be
bringing
this
high
school
bond
forward
and
with
full
knowledge
that
it
would
be
a
substantial
amount.
R
S
Go
ahead:
okay,
sorry,
I
started
too
soon.
Hi,
I'm
here
today,
as
the
director
of
burlington
substance
misuse
prevention
coalition,
the
burlington
partnership
for
a
healthy
community
about
item
6.9
cannabis
laws
in
vermont
have
been
changing
really
rapidly.
In
the
last
decade,
there's
been
new
research,
new
cannabis
products,
new
delivery
methods
and
increasing
potency
of
products,
and
it
can
be
really
hard
to
keep
up
with
it
all
and
understand
how
all
of
that
change
may
impact
the
health
and
safety
of
burlington.
S
A
lot
of
the
conversations
I've
heard
about
cannabis,
commercialization
in
burlington,
have
been
focusing
heavily
on
developing
the
legal
profit-making
system.
So
I
just
wanted
to
come
today
and
ensure
there's
just
as
much
time
and
resources
devoted
to
supporting
public
health
and
protecting
youth
and
advancing
social
equity
and
health
in
burlington.
S
Access
to
health,
alcohol
and
tobacco
companies
are
powerful
industries.
They've
been
hard
to
regulate.
They
have
a
long
history
of
marketing
products
to
minors,
to
buy
pot
communities
to
people
who
identify
as
lgbtq
plus
and
low-income
neighborhoods.
They
have.
We
have
to
learn
from
our
past
mistakes
and
do
better
to
put
regulations
in
place
that
protect
people
as
we
developed
new
commercial
markets
for
substance
use.
S
S
A
T
T
I'm
reminded
of
president
reagan's
quote
the
nine
most
terrifying
words
in
the
english
language
are
I'm
from
the
government
and
I'm
here
to
help.
So
maybe
we
should
always
try
to
mitigate
how
much
we
meddle
in
people's
lives.
I
am
here
tonight
on
to
speak
on.
The
school
bond
issue
talked
a
lot
about
the
school
bond
in
the
last
few
years,
and
I
don't
deny
that
our
city
desperately
needs
a
new
school.
T
However,
the
school
proposed
the
proposed
school
bond
exceeds
the
city's
recommended
maximum
bonding
capacity.
According
to
the
administration,
mayor,
weinberger
has
been
steadfast
in
the
last
two
and
a
half
years
about
touting
that
this
is
the
cap.
150
and
the
school
bond
exceeds
that
I
don't
see
any
models
where
that
doesn't
impact
the
cost
of
living
in
burlington
and
result
in
tax
increases,
which
will
impact
our
renting
community
even
more
with
higher
rents.
T
T
T
A
A
O
I
wasn't
initially
intending
to
speak,
but
I
feel
called
because
of
some
of
the
things
I
heard.
My
name
is
daniel
montanu
and
I
live
in
ward,
3.
and
another
speaker
in
public
forum.
I
discussed
the
recent
uptick
in
gun
violence
and
I
really
only
have
one
question
which
parties
are
they
talking
about?
O
So
in
just
the
last
weekend
you
know
there
there
were.
There
were
two
incidents
and
one
of
them
happened
on
on
my
street.
Two
vehicles
were
hit
by
stray
bullets
from
burlington
police
officers
and
even
though
the
vsp
press
release
said
that
there
was
four
minutes
between
the
time
that
essentially
police
arrived
and
when
the
shooting
went,
the
actual
shooting
occurred
that
they
were
attempting.
O
De-Escalation
and
given
what
I've
witnessed
firsthand
of
burlington
police
officers
put
in
a
situation
where
it
might
or
might
not
be
justified
to
use
force.
I
really
question
was:
was
there
effective,
de-escalation
going
on
it's
quite
clear
that
the
use
of
of
force
by
the
police
department
is
a
major
issue,
and
I
think
we
need
to
consider
that
just
as
heavily
you
know,
it's
not
covered
in
the
same
way
that
this
supposed
uptick
in
crime
is
in
in
all
different
sources.
O
A
Thank
you
thanks
for
coming
up
and
speaking
if
there
are
no
others
in
contoist
or
online,
we
will
close
the
public
forum
at
8
pm
and
move
on
to
item
number
4
on
our
agenda,
which
is
climate
emergency
reports.
Is
there
any
counselor
or
the
administration
who
wishes
to
offer
a
climate
emergency
report.
A
U
Thank
you,
president
paul.
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
president
biden
is
expected
to
sign
the
most
significant
piece
of
federal
climate
legislation
that
the
country's
ever
passed
this
week
after
its
approval
by
both
the
senate
and
the
house
over
last
week,
and
I
just
want
to
start
the
conversation
and
this
will
need
to
be
much
more
focused
on
this
in
the
in
the
days
and
weeks
and
years
really
to
come.
D
H
D
Address
the
climate
crisis,
and
so
I
think,
to
to
the
extent
that
now
is
really
the
time
for
us
to
aggressively
try
to
understand
how
we
as
a
city,
can
take
advantage
of
this
change
and
and
the
federal
money.
That's
that's
now
going
to
be
flowing
to
a
lot
of
these
initiatives
that
we're
already
trying
to
work
on,
and
so
just
echoing
that
the
council
administration
should
be
trying
to
move
quickly
to,
as
the
mayor
said,
dovetail
with
the
federal
legislation.
D
A
Seeing
none,
we
will
close
item
four,
the
two
people
that
wanted
to
speak
during
public
forum.
I
had
called
on
on
you
earlier:
no
worries,
we'll
open
item
number
three
open
item
number
three:
the
public
forum
and
it's
now
805.
the
two
people
were
julie,
masouga
and
leaf
toronto,
so
julie
welcome.
Thank.
A
V
Hey
you
all
know
me
julie,
masouga
award,
three.
When
someone
says
I'm
hurting
and
we
send
in
hyper.
Why
do
we
send
in
hyper-militarized
cops?
Why
is
the
response
to
mental
illness
violence
instead
of
compassion?
Three
bullets
were
fired
to
take
down
someone
with
a
kitchen
knife
and
nearly
killed
a
bystander
parked
in
his
car
as
a
bullet
whizzed
by
his
head
and
blood
spatters
his
face
from
the
windshield.
V
Do
you
know
how
many
times
I
have
had
similar
situations?
I've
de-escalated
similar
situations
with
words,
blocked
them
with
a
bicycle,
stopped
him
with
eye
contact,
taking
a
walk
smoking,
a
cigarette
holding
a
guinea
pig.
One
reason
people
feel
compelled
to
do
real
deal
escalation.
Work
which
mind
you
takes
way
longer
than
four
minutes
is
because
we're
afraid
that
the
bpd
will
find
the
crisis
first.
V
This
is
at
least
the
third
incident
since
2015,
where
the
bpd
has
shot
someone
for
having
a
mental
breakdown
and
I've
been
there.
I've
been
to
that
place
where
you
feel
like
your
only
option,
is
to
kill
yourself
and
I've
seen
it
countless
times
in
others,
and
then
not
one
of
those
scenarios
do.
I
think
bpd
would
have
helped.
I
think
it
would
have
been
much
more
harmful.
V
In
my
own
home,
I
had
to
block
officer
corro
a
well-known
user
of
excessive
force
from
barging
into
a
friend's
room
after
responding
to
a
call
for
an
ambulance.
I
knew
a
man
clad
in
military
gear,
with
a
gun
at
his
hip
was
not
what
was
needed
to
help
this
suicidal
person.
In
fact,
I
begged
for
there
to
be
no
cops
and
if
I
was
ever
unsure
sure
that
my
fears
about
cops
dealing
with
mental
health
crises
were
correct.
V
A
A
W
Hi
I'm
leaf
toronto,
ward,
2.
thanks
so
much
for
letting
me
speak.
I'm
sorry,
I
missed
my
slot.
I
appreciate
your
patience
I'm
here,
because
I
am
a
very
experienced
community
de-escalator.
I
give
de-escalation
trainings
for
a
lot
of
groups,
organizations
non-profits
in
the
area
and
a
lot
of
I
do
a
lot
of
street
de-escalation
myself
during
protests
during
events
during
actions,
I've
seen
a
lot
of
things
in
this
community
over
the
past
couple
years.
As
a
de-escalator,
I've
seen
people
trying
to
stab
each
other.
W
W
I
have
been
able
to
de-escalate
all
these
situations,
using
just
words
just
body
language,
just
listening
to
people,
and
these
are
people
who
genuinely
would
want
me
dead
as
a
trans
person,
sometimes,
and
in
none
of
those
situations
I
needed
to
touch
anyone
in
none
of
those
situations.
Did
I
needed
to
tase
anyone
in
under
those
situations
did
I
need
to
even
remotely
move
towards
using
a
firearm
on
anyone.
So
I
really
want
to
push
back
against
this
narrative.
W
I've
been
seeing
that
the
bpd
knows
how
to
de-escalate
cares
about
de-escalating
uses
de-escalation
in
this
community
because
they
don't
what
they've
done
is
come
in
with
weapons
and
hurt
and
nearly
kill
people.
There
is
no
situation
where,
no
matter
what
a
person
is
doing,
having
a
mental
health
crisis
where
firing
three
shots
into
traffic
is
going
to
make
that
a
less
escalated
situation.
That's
absurd.
W
So
I
just
wanted
to
talk
to
you
all
about
that
and
say
that
we
need
to
keep
defunding
bpd.
I'm
really
concerned
that
this
incident
is
going
to
be
used
as
an
opportunity
to
say
we
need
more
police
officers
and
that's
not
how
defunding
the
police
works,
defending
the
police
is
we
take
money
away
from
them
and
then
we
see
how
can
we
send
that
money
towards
more
housing
towards
more
mental
health
care?
So
these
incidents
would
happen
in
the
first
place
and
said
when
incidences
like
this
come
up.
W
I
see
from
city
council
this
narrative
that
oh,
we
need
to
give
bonuses
to
bpd
to
deal
with
this
kind
of
situations.
We
need
to
bring
in
state
troopers
and
they're
just
making
the
situation
worse.
So
I
appreciate
you
listening
to
me
talk
and
I
hope
that
you
will
really
take
seriously
defunding
the
police
and
stopping
them
from
committing
this
type
of
violence.
Thanks.
A
A
A
Before
we
get
to
our
deliberative
agenda,
I
will
recess
the
city
council
meeting
at
8
10
and
we
will
go
to
the
board
of
civil
authority
for
this
meeting,
we'll
go
to
the
mayor
and
then
mayor.
If
you
would
like
to
move
on
to
the
city
council
with
mayor
presiding,
whichever
order
you
prefer
and
then
we'll
go
we'll
come
back
to
the
local
control
commission.
U
U
U
D
U
Second
by
counselor
house
discussion
we'll
go
to
a
vote
now,
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion,
please
say:
aye
aye
are
there
any
opposed
motion
carries
unanimously,
so
we
have
an
agenda
that
brings
us
to
our
consent
agenda,
including
the
amended
items
of
the
consent
agenda.
I
would
appreciate
welcome
emotion
on
the
consent
agenda.
U
F
U
U
G
U
U
All
those
in
favor
of
the
motion,
please
say:
aye
aye.
He
opposed
the
consent
agenda
is
adopted
unanimously.
Okay,
we
do
now
have
three
commission
appointments
and
we
will
take
them
one
at
a
time.
The
first
appointment
three
point
item
3.01,
is
for
an
airport
commission
for
a
term
expiring
june
30th
2023.
X
U
U
Y
U
L
I
did
take
a
contractor
that
had
I
had
contracted
with
through
with
sido
funds
for
lead
abatement
work.
That
contractor
I
did.
I
did
sue
because
he
took
10
months
for
a
10-day
project
and
I
lost
rent
during
that
time.
We
settled-
and
I
was
happy
with
settlement,
but
neither
sido
nor
burlington
were
part
of
that
suit.
L
L
U
AB
H
H
A
AC
U
Seeing
no
additional
nominations
see
attorneys.
Tell
me
I
should
ask
for
at
least
two
or
three
times
so
I'll
ask
again,
even
though
there
no
other,
we
have
no
other
materials.
Seeing
no
other
nominations,
we
will.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
and
is
the
applicant
present
or
attending
remotely
and
would
like
to
speak
to
the
the
council.
A
A
U
U
The
appointment
is
approved
unanimously.
Thank
you,
bethany
for
your
your
interest
in
serving
the
city
again
in
another
commission
role.
Finally,
the
last
item
on
the
agenda
is
3.03.
The
planning
commission
term
for
planning
commission
term
expiring
june
30th
2024..
The
floor
is
open
for
nominations.
AA
U
U
Y
U
A
I
would
ask
for
a
show
of
hands
for
counselors
who
are
we're.
Gonna
we're
gonna
have
a
show
of
hands
for
which
I
guess,
since
we
have
remote
counselors.
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
do
this
to
a
roll
call
vote.
So
we'll
have
a
roll
call
vote
for.
First
I
votes
for
karen
norwood
and
then
votes
for
julia
randall.
You
can
only
vote
for
one
of
the
nominees
at
this
point.
U
U
D
B
C
X
Point
of
order
that
would
be
the
city
charter
and
we
did
change
the
charter
to
to
to
make
that
the
for
the
city
council
body
present
and
voting.
So
I
would
ask
that
the
parliamentarian
looked
at
the
charter
in
section
48
of
the
charter
and
I
don't
know
exactly:
you'd
have
to
where's
another
city
attorney
or
maybe
account.
AD
U
All
right,
what
I
approached
is
that
proposes
this.
We
will.
I
think
we
should
try
to
resolve
this
tonight.
If
the
charities
charter
is
clear
on
this,
so
but
I
don't
want
to
hold
up
the
rest
of
the
meeting,
so
we
will.
I
would
recommend
president
paul
tell
me
if
you
think
this
is
advisable
that
we
recess
the
city
council
with
mayor
presiding
until
we,
the
parliamentarian,
is
ready
to
make
that
ruling
and
carry
on
with
the
regular
city
council
meeting
and
we'll
come
back
for
resolution
on
this.
A
Okay,
as
long
as
we
can
keep
track
of
what
meeting
is
recessed
and
what
meeting
has
adjourned
okay.
Thank
you,
mayor,
weinberger
you'll.
Let
us
know
when
you
want
to
reopen
that,
so
we
are
going
to
return
to
the
recessed
council
meeting
at
8
30
and
since
we
have
a
local
control
commission
meeting
we're
going
to
again
recess
the
council
meeting
again
at
8,
30
and
reconvene
our
local
or
in
convene
convene
our
local
control
commission
meeting.
A
A
T
A
A
A
A
A
Not
seeing
the
applicant
and
if
there
is
any
discussion
from
the
council,
seeing
no
discussion
from
the
council
we'll
go
to
a
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion,
please
say
aye
any
opposed.
Please
say
no.
That
motion
passes,
which
leads
us
to
our
second
deliberative
item
3.02.
A
first
class
restaurant
liquor
license
application
2223
for
gpg,
indian
kitchen,
commissioner,
shannon
move.
A
A
Don't
see
that
the
applicant
is
present,
is
there
any
counselor
who
has
any
comments
to
offer
that
motion
passes?
Thank
you
so
much,
commissioner,
shannon
for
shepherding
us
through
these
license
items,
seeing
no
other
items
on
the
on
the
local
control
agenda
and
without
objection
will
adjourn
at
8
35
and
before
we
go
to
return
to
the
recess
council
meeting.
Has
there
been
a
development
on
the
other,
or
do
we
need
a
little
more
time.
A
A
We
have
a
number
of
items
on
our
deliberative
agenda
and
in
the
interest
of
time
and
being
able
to
accomplish
everything
on
our
agenda
and
adjourn
within
our
rules.
There
are
minutes
that
are
allotted
to
each
agenda
item,
as
per
our
council
rules.
I'll
do
my
best
to
see
that
we
adhere
to
our
approved
agenda
and
would
ask
that
we
all
self-monitor
our
speaking
time.
The
first
item
on
our
agenda
6.01,
a
resolution
burlington
school
district
ballot,
request
for
bond
to
build
new
high
school
and
technical
center.
AB
A
AB
A
That
is,
that
is
correct.
So
emotion
has
been
made
by
counselor
barlow
seconded
by
councillor,
councillor
travers.
We
do
have
superintendent,
flanagan
finance,
director,
nathan,
nathan
lavery.
We
have
also
chair
claire
wool.
Vice
chair,
jeff
wick.
I
also
see
several
school
board
members,
kendra,
sowers
and
kathy
alwell,
and
there
are
probably
others
that
would
that
I
that
I
am
missing
so
you'll
correct
me
if
I've
missed
anyone
if
you'd
like
to
join
us,
we'd
be
happy
to
have
you.
AB
AF
AG
Thank
you,
president
paul
city,
council
and
mayor
weinberger
for
having
us
tonight.
We
are
respectfully
asking
you
to
approve
a
resolution
for
the
november
ballot
to
bond
up
to
65
million
dollars
for
a
165
million
dollars
started
too
fast
for
a
high
school
and
technical
center
for
the
queen
city.
This
has
been
a
long
and
collaborative
process
with
our
community
and
our
school
board,
and
we
know
it
is
a
big
decision
for
you
and
for
our
city.
AG
AG
AG
AG
It
may
not
be
net
zero
when
it
opens,
but
the
structure
is
there
as
technology
improves
or
other
opportunities
arise,
and
it
it.
We
are
still
designing,
so
it
could
also
be
net
zero,
using
input
from
our
community,
our
design
team
and
the
school
board
devoted
substantial
time
and
energy
to
choosing
the
location
and
building
design.
There
have
been
some
questions
about
whether
the
building
can
be
moved
east
to
allow
us
to
begin
construction
without
demolishing
all
of
the
old
buildings.
AG
Our
development
team
recommended
strongly
that
we
remediate
and
remove
the
old
buildings
before
constructing
the
new
building.
This
approach
allows
us
to
build
the
best
school
at
the
lowest
cost.
The
school
board
also
seriously
weighed
other
factors
for
building
in
a
different
location
on
the
site.
However,
after
reviewing
the
recommendations
of
our
architects
and
designers,
it
is
clear
that
the
proposed
location
best
meets
the
needs
of
students
while
protecting
taxpayers.
AG
Finally,
as
you
prepare
to
weigh
the
decision
in
front
of
you,
I
want
to
assure
you
that
we
know
this
is
a
big
commitment
from
our
neighbors
and
fellow
taxpayers,
we're
very
mindful
of
the
tax
impact
and
have
been
doing
everything
possible
to
reduce
this
impact.
We
have
already
reduced
the
bond
request
by
45
million
dollars.
AG
We
are
actively
pursuing
16,
existing
federal
and
state
programs
and
partnering
with
the
burlington
students
foundation
to
support
private
fundraising.
Additionally,
the
state
is
keenly
aware
of
our
need.
I
walked
the
old
bhs
btc
building
with
secretary
french
in
april,
the
secretary
of
the
agency
of
education
and
told
them
exactly
what
we
need
for
pcb
and
programmatic
support,
and
we
have
been
in
regular
communication
with
the
federal
delegation
and
state
legislators
throughout
this
process.
AG
We
will
continue
to
prioritize
this
part
of
the
work
and
appreciate
the
offer
of
the
city
to
support
these
efforts.
We
are
fully
aware
of
the
fact
that
this
project
will
have
an
impact
on
our
taxpayers,
including
chairwold,
director
lavry
and
myself,
all
of
whom
are
burlington
residents.
We
estimate
that
this
project
could
increase
taxes
by
roughly
15
percent,
but
there
is
good
news:
the
great
work
by
burlington's
school
board
and
our
allies
across
the
state
to
update
the
stu.
The
state's
pupil
waiting
formula
will
somewhat
offset
this
new
spending.
AG
AG
They
won't
be
felt
all
at
once
and
that
time
will
allow
us
to
continue
our
work
to
lessen
the
impact
by
securing
alternative
funding
for
the
project
that
I
just
spoke
about,
and
so
with
that
our
school
board,
and
I
strongly
believe
that
the
bond
amount
is
appropriate,
prudent
and
necessary,
and
that
it
balances
the
realities
of
the
tax
impact
with
the
need
for
a
high
school
and
technical
center.
We
have
worked
collaboratively
with
the
mayor
to
develop
an
mou
and
that
draft
is
finalized.
AF
Thank
you,
superintendent,
flanagan,
on
behalf
of
the
burlington
board
of
school
commissioners,
who
are
all
present
here
tonight
and
in
person
via
zoom.
I
want
to
acknowledge
from
one
elected
city
governing
board
to
another.
We
are
here
to
present
this
critical
november
ballot
item
so
that
we
can
work
in
partnership
to
give
our
students
and
community
the
high
school
campus
that
burlington
needs
and
deserves.
AF
A
AB
Sure
I've
been
a
supporter
of
the
thank
you
for
coming
here
and
and
presenting,
but
I've
been
a
supporter
of
a
new
high
school
and
tech
center
and
continue
to
believe
that
some
of
the
most
important
a
public,
the
most
important
public
project,
we'll
undertake
for
some
time
to
come.
Even
before
the
pcb
problems,
we
knew
we
had
a
need
to
address
accessibility,
safety,
energy
efficiency,
tens
of
millions
in
major
systems,
replacements
and
maintenance
needs.
AB
AB
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
could
expand
a
little
bit
on
the
efforts
that
superintendent
flanagan
said
we're
underway
for
16
different
sources
and
things
what
kinds
of
alternative
funding
sources
are
you
looking
at
right
now
and
do
you
expect
that
any
of
those
might
bear
fruit
before
the
november
bond
vote?
Should
we
pass
that
here
tonight.
AG
I'm
gonna
yeah
I'll
quickly
say
that
we've
we've
been
working
with
leah9
in
public
affairs,
which
we've
spoken
with
you
all
about
and
maggie
lance
there
specifically
who's
identified,
specific
fun
programs
that
were
that
we
believe
were
eligible
for
in
existing
state
and
federal
budgets,
and
so
we
are
we
we
have
been.
We
have
identified
those
we've
been
reaching
out
to
department
heads
and
doing
the
work
of
applying
we've.
AH
Yeah
thanks
for
the
question,
so
obviously
there
are
a
lot
of
opportunities
out
there
and
and
we're
identifying
more
pretty
routinely,
but
just
to
give
folks
a
sense
of
the
kind
of
breadth
of
what
we're
looking
at.
There
are
opportunities,
be
they
state
or
federal
funds
that
are
obviously
related
to
some
of
the
environmental
issues
that
you
mentioned.
AH
We're
looking
exploring
the
potential
eligibility
for
brownfield
funding
to
help
address
the
contamination
on
the
site,
there's
also
other
site
work
such
as
stormwater,
where
there's
a
lot
of
funding
sources
available,
potentially
to
offset
some
of
those
costs,
there's
also
for
with
respect
to
the
physical
infrastructure
of
the
building.
There's
opportunities
related,
certainly
to
energy
efficiency,
including
a
conversation
that
we
hope
to
begin
soon
with
burlington
electric
about
potential
incentives
there
to
help
offset
some
of
the
costs
of
of
the
building's
infrastructure.
AH
There's
also
opportunities
that
we
have
identified
to
support
the
tech
center
beyond
the
10
million
dollar
federal
year,
mark
that
we've
already
received,
including
opportunities
for
the
federal
economic
development
kind
of
agency
related
to
the
potential
for
that
program
to
help
support
job
creation
in
the
region.
So,
there's
a
wide
swath
of
potential
ways
that
we
can
make
this
project
eligible,
whether
or
not
any
of
those
get
over.
The
finish
line
by
november
is
hard
to
say
at
this
point.
We
know
that
a
lot
of
those
programs,
particularly
the
federal
ones.
AG
Yeah
so
that
we
have
partnered
with
the
burlington
students
foundation
to
get
that
work
kicked
off,
and-
and
so
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
be
committed
to
doing.
The
first
step
was
to
get
the
501c3
in
place
so
that
we
have
the
mechanism
to
bring
those
funds
in
and
and
we're
committed
to
that
I
mean,
I
think,
the
we're
going
to
keep
doing
everything
we
can
to
bring
funds
in
from
private
philanthropy.
AG
Z
No
questions
so
much
as
a
comment
which
is
just
to
thank
the
school
team.
I
know
that
this
is
a
has
been
a
huge,
a
huge
effort
to
even
get
to
a
plan
and
to
get
it
on
the
to
get
something,
a
plan
that
can
be
voted
on
and
also
just
to
claire
wool.
It's
just
a
great
project
to
be
really
proactive
on
and
just
really
appreciate
you
reaching
out
to
all
of
the
counselors
to
make
sure
that
we
understood
we're.
C
Thank
you,
president
paul
as
a
father
of
three
future
burlington
high
school
students
as
a
resident
who
sees
other
school-aged
families,
currently
choosing
to
not
live
in
burlington
or
to
leave
burlington
because
of
our
current
situation,
with
a
high
school
as
a
resident
who
sees
families
who
do
not
have
the
means
to
make
that
choice
having
to
make
do
with
a
building.
That's
not
worthy
of
our
students.
C
I'm
also
voting
in
favor
of
this
bond,
though,
because
I
I
appreciate
your
and
the
marist
efforts
recently
to
work
on
a
memorandum
of
understanding
surrounding
this
project,
and
I
know
it's
something.
The
city
and
the
school
district
have
worked
into
worked
on
historically,
and
I'm
excited
that
we're
doing
it
here
as
well
and
just
a
couple
points
from
what
I
understand
will
be
in
that
memo
that
I
think
are
important
for
the
council
to
consider,
as
well
as
for
the
public
to
know
going
forward.
C
One
is
that
my
understanding
is
is
that
memo
will
commit
to
this
165
million
dollar
bond
being
a
ceiling,
and
I
can
say
in
my
role
as
a
counselor.
My
expectation
is
that
the
district
will
not
be
coming
back
asking
for
more
than
165
million
dollars
that
we'll
be
voting
to
put
on
the
ballot
tonight.
I
think
that
there's
some
voters
in
burlington
who
have
in
recent
years
seen
certain
projects
have
to
come
back
to
the
well
for
additional
bonding.
C
I
think
are
great
areas
for
us
to
focus
on
in
finding
these
alternative
funding
resources
in
recent
months.
I've
also
personally
had
the
pleasure
of
getting
to
know
your
team
better,
and
I
have
been
beyond
impressed
with
your
dedication
to
our
community
and
you
have
my
full
faith
that
you
will
more
than
follow
through
on
the
commitments
you've
made
to
our
community.
C
I
also
hope
grant
programs
and
other
philanthropic
interests
will
feel
our
enthusiasm
and
will
choose
to
be
part
of
this
generational
project,
and
it
would
be
remiss
of
me
to
not
use
this
opportunity
to
say
to
our
state
and
federal
leaders.
Our
state
leaders
in
particular,
who
have
played
no
small
part
in
bringing
us
to
this
point.
To
please
hear
this
vote
for
what
it
is,
which
is
a
call
to
action
for
our
kids
for
our
community
to
our
state
leaders.
We
still
need
your
help,
so
please
join
the
council.
C
A
E
You
president
paul
yeah,
thank
you
all
for
for
being
here
tonight
and
taking
time
out
of
your
your
evening
to
address
this
project.
What
I
can
say
is,
as
a
former
educator
in
vermont
public
schools,
I've
seen
and
I've
experienced
myself
the
unique
and
exhausting
challenges
that
so
many
in
schools.
Faced
especially
during
the
pandemic
students,
staff,
educators,
administrators
and
doing
it
without
a
high
school
building
is
something
that
I
cannot
imagine
as
an
educator.
E
E
Having
a
high
school
building
means
a
sense
of
belonging
and
community
for
so
many
and
I'm
honored
to
support
this.
I
think
approving
this
sends
the
message
not
only
that
we
support
our
students
and
their
families,
but
also
our
community
as
a
whole,
we're
investing
long
term
in
the
people
of
this
city.
E
I
do
hope
we
can
dig
deeper
into
grant
opportunities
other
like
getting
creative
for
funding
just
to
assist
our
taxpayers.
I
I
think
we
can
get
creative
and
I
trust
that
the
school
district
is
going
to
work
with
us
on
this
and,
additionally,
I
think
if
I
can
put
my
own
little
climate
plug
in
there,
I
think
we
should
place
a
heavy
emphasis
on
net
zero
design.
E
U
I
feel
this
very
personally
as
a
parent
about
to
send
a
daughter
back
to
our
former
department
store
for
a
third
straight
year
and
as
a
parent
that
has
another
daughter
in
third
grade
who
I
very
much
want
to
get
the
benefit
from
a
very
different
facility
when
she
reaches
high
school
here
in
burlington,
if
approved
by
the
voters.
The
bonding
proposal
before
us
will
ensure
that
the
burlington
school
district
has
the
resources
necessary
to
make
this
critical
project
possible
over
the
next
three
years.
U
For
that
reason,
I
strongly
support
tonight's
resolution
and
intend
to
join
you
in
actively
advocating
that
voters
approve
it
this
fall.
This
is
a
step
that
we
need
to
take
for
the
future
of
our
children,
and
we
need
to
do
it
now
tonight
to
give
the
bsd
leadership
what
they
need
to
ensure
construction
of
a
new
facility.
U
I'm
confident
that
if
all
of
us
me
the
superintendent,
the
school
board,
commissioners
and
city
councilors,
our
state
representatives
and
senators
and
the
design
and
construction
teams
working
on
this
project,
if
all
of
us
remain
focused
over
the
next
three
years
on
achieving
construction
savings
and
securing
state
and
federal
project
funding,
we
will
ultimately
be
able
to
limit
the
necessary
new
bonding
to
significantly
less
than
the
165
million
dollar
maximum
authority.
That
is
being
requested
here
tonight.
U
I
know
that
the
bsd
and
my
colleagues
on
the
council
understand
the
importance
of
this
goal
and
are
committed
to
it
and
to
make
that
understanding
and
commitment,
clear
and
clear
to
the
public.
We
will
also
be
approving
tonight
in
addition
to
the
maximum
bonding
authorization,
a
new
memorandum
of
understanding
that
commits
both
the
burlington
school
district
and
the
city
to
continued
efforts
to
reduce
the
necessary
borrowing
over
the
course
of
the
project
in
borrowing
unforeseen
circumstances,
avoiding
new
general
obligation,
borrowing
until
approximately
20
30..
U
I
appreciate
the
collaboration
from
the
superintendent
and
the
board
in
creating
this
mou.
It's
been.
It's
required
really
focused
significant
communications
and
work,
and
I
look
forward
to
much
more
collaboration
in
the
months
and
years
ahead
to
see
this
critical
project
come
into
being
just
a
few
short
years
from
now.
X
Well,
I
just
want
to
echo
as
the
the
father
of
two
bhs
graduates,
the
support
that
I've
heard
and
also
to
to
echo
their
their
request
and
their
clarion
call
for
the
school
department
to
continue
to
work
really
really
hard
to
get
the
extra
money.
The
constituents
in
the
old
north
end,
who
I
represent,
are
stretched.
X
That
includes
not
only
homeowners
but
renters
who
are
paying
outrageous
rents,
and
we
need
to
do
everything
and
I'm
committed
to
helping
you
do
everything
we
can
to
lower
that.
The
other
thing
is.
I
have
heard
that
there
are
still
some
concerns
about
the
the
pollution
on
the
site
and
it
would
be
incumbent,
I
think,
for
you
all
as
well
as
us
to
be
really
clear
that
we
are
not
going
to
be
throwing
good
money
after
bad
money.
X
So
anything
that
you
can
tell
us
about
how
the
pollution
is
going
to
be
dealt
with,
whether
you
know
there's
not
any
migration
of
the
the
pcbs
or
anything
like
that,
so
that
people
can
really
feel
that
again
that
this
is
going
to
be
money
well
spent
instead
of
thrown
away
and
I'd
love,
to
hear
a
comment
on
that.
That
would
assure
people
of
that
tonight.
AG
Yeah
we've
we've
already
thank
you
for
for
those
words
and
for
everyone's
words.
So
far
I
we
have.
We
have
worked
really
hard
to
characterize
and
understand
the
the
pcb
contamination
and
how
that
has
impacted
the
the
site.
We
have
a
very
clear
sense
of
of
of
the
impact
on
the
building
and
what
will
be
needed
to
remove
and
remediate
the
building
working
with
multiple
different
experts
who
have
done
this
work
in
in
multiple
states
and
so
the
building.
AG
You
know
there
are
very
specific
rules
that
we're
gonna
have
to
follow
to
ensure
that
there's
no
contamination
beyond
the
the
site,
we've
also
characterized
the
soils
around
the
site
and
have
a
good
sense
of
of
the
pcb
contamination
in
in
the
soils.
So
we
understand
where
they
are,
they
have
not
they.
They
have
not
expanded
terribly
far
from
the
site.
So
we
believe
that
the
that
the
removal
remediation
is
is
something
that
we
need
to
take
very
seriously
and
is
also
manageable.
AG
X
A
B
You
know,
I
think
I
share
everyone's
concerns
about
impacts
to
taxpayers,
and
I
just
wondered
if
you
could
speak
a
little
bit
to
the
you
know,
changes
we
might
expect
with
the
people
waiting
factors,
and
I
know
we
don't
have
complete
information
on
that.
Yet,
but
in
the
materials
that
we
were
provided
on
board
dogs
tonight,
I
think
there's
some
information.
AG
AH
The
item
that
they
will
be
asked
to
vote
on.
We
anticipate
adding
to
that
information,
including
a
suggestion
that
came
from
the
council
about
developing
kind
of
a
calculator
tool
that
could
help
folks
understand
the
impact
and
and
of
these
changes,
even
if
they
are
in
a
situation
where
they
get
a
an
income
based
rebate
on
their
education.
Taxes.
AG
And
to
the
weighted
pupil?
Sorry
did
you
want
to
go
ahead?
Okay
to
the
weighted
pupil
question.
I
think
it's
it's
it's
a
challenging
question,
because
the
city
has
been
fighting
for
an
an
equitable
budgeting
model
that
funds
districts
that
have
higher
levels
of
poverty
and
more
need
less
than
it
does
wealthier
districts,
and
we've
known
that
the
city
has
known
that
you
all
have
been
to
montpelier
the
mayor's
been
to
my
failure.
AG
Chair
wool
has
been
to
modular.
Many
people
have
been
been
at
this
for
a
number
number
of
years
and
and
we
our
board
at
the
end
last
year,
really
coalesced
and
and
with
a
number
of
other
boards
and
made
the
pupil
waiting
happen,
it
changed
the
the
law
around
people
waiting,
the
the
challenging
thing
is
that
it
was
never
designed
to
help
solve
a
major
facilities
problem.
There's
another
issue
that
we
need
to
all
be
fighting
for
now,
which
is
construction
aid.
AG
AG
Right,
proven
to
be
a
vestige
of
white
supremacy
culture
playing
out
in
vermont
and
that
needed
to
change,
but
not
because
we
didn't
have
high
school
right.
Those
are
separate
things
and-
and
you
all
have
have
pushed
us
on
that-
and-
and
it's
that's
fair-
and
we
appreciate
that-
and
the
timing
of
it
is-
is
fortuitous
in
some
ways,
because
we
we
will
be
able
to
provide
more
better
programming,
increase
services
at
a
lower
cost
and
and
and
that
will
end
up
impacting
the
tax,
the
tax
rates.
AG
B
A
AE
Thanks,
I
don't
want
to
repeat
what
my
colleagues
have
said,
and
I
I
too
am
a
big
supporter
as
a
product
of
the
system
and
from
a
family
of
a
long,
a
family
of
long
bhs
graduates.
We
got
dozens
of
bhs
graduates,
I
think
we
turned
out
okay,
so
one
comment
is
sometimes
the
school
gets
a
bad
rep.
There
are
so
many
success
stories
that
we
really
need
to
get
out
there.
Burlington's
culture
and
dynamic
has
changed.
AE
We
certainly
saw
that
through
the
arguments
of
the
people
waiting
studies,
but
it's
we
have
so
many
successes,
but
if
we
want
to
keep
having
them,
kids
need
a
home,
a
house,
a
high
school
to
make
it
all
work.
And
again,
I
think
we
need
to
keep
pulling
out
those
same
arguments
that
we
use
for
people
waiting
and
say
all
the
more
reason
why
we
need
a
high
school
and
we
need
to
make
that
a
political
issue.
AE
Burlington
takes
the
burden
for
the
region
on
a
lot
of
stuff
and
we're
continuing
to
want
to
be
the
queen
city,
and
we
we
need
a
home
when
we
need
a
high
school,
and
so
all
of
the
folks
that
are
running
for
office
right.
This
minute
need
to
understand
that,
and
even
if
you
think,
you're
run,
you
know
you're
not
from
burlington
you're
representing
chittenden
county
you're
representing
the
state.
AE
So
we
need
to
make
this
and
we
need
to
convince
our
neighbors.
This
is
a
political
issue.
I
mean
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
school.
Aid
to
construction
is
unacceptable
to
any
community
and
certainly
two
hours.
So
I'm
just
saying
this
more
for
the
public,
but
thank
you
again
for
your
work
and,
let's
just
do
the
work.
We
need
to
do
this
next
three
four
months.
AE
A
A
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all,
those
in
favor
of
the
resolution
to
place
before
the
voters
on
the
ballot
of
the
november
8
2022
general
election
and
authorization
to
bond
for
not
to
exceed
165
million
dollars
for
the
construction
of
a
new
burlington,
high
school
and
burlington
technical
center.
Please
say:
aye
aye.
D
Thank
you.
I
will
move
I'll
make
two
or
there's
two
parts
of
the
motion
rather
number
one
to
refer
the
matter
of
selecting
ranked
choice,
voting
sub-methods
to
the
ordinance
committee
for
its
consideration
and
to
propose
any
needed
additional
changes
to
the
burlington
code
of
ordinances
to
effectuate,
vote
tabulation
and
rank
choice.
A
A
Okay,
I
don't
know
if
there
is
anyone
who's
here
to
speak
to
this
item.
It
was
fairly
fairly
self-explanatory,
but
you
certainly
don't
want
to
don't
want
to
stifle
if
you're.
If
you
you
know,
if
you
would
like
to
speak
to
this
or
if
there
are
others
that
would
like
to
speak
to
this,
are
there
first
counselor
hanson?
Would
you
prefer
to
or.
D
AD
I
had
desired
to
make
the
point
that
I
had
served
on
the
subcommittee
when
we
first
implemented
rank
choice,
voting
that
made
the
decision
about
the
rules
and
there
are
many
points
of
decision
beyond
the
ordinance.
So
I
look
forward
to
us
completing
this
process
and
getting
it
referred
to
the
ordinance
committee.
Thank
you.
A
D
That's
okay.
I
just
wanted
to
respond
to
councillor
shannon
and
really
state
that,
from
my
perspective,
we're
not.
I
don't
see
this
as
us.
Changing
the
voter
approved
language
that
we
already
adapted
into
ordinance.
I
don't
see
this
as
doing
anything
in
conflict
with
that
or
amending
that.
I
see
this
as
supplemental
to
that
from
my
perspective,
so
just
want
to
lay
that
out
clearly
from
my
perspective
and
in
the
way
that
I
will
approach
this
as
one
member
of
the
ordinance
committee.
AD
A
Thanks
so
much
if
there
are
no
other
counselors
who
wish
to
speak
to
this
item,
we
will
go
to
a
vote.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all,
those
in
favor
of
taking
the
actions
indicated
in
the
motion.
Please
say
aye
there
any
opposed.
Please
say
no
motion
passes
unanimously,
which
brings
us
to
the
next
item,
which
is
6.03
an
update
on
legal
resident
voting
and
I'll.
Look
to
the
chair
of
the
charter
change
committee,
councilor
bergman,
to
get
us
started
on
this
item.
X
Thank
you,
president.
Paul
charter
change
committee,
wanted
to
bring
this
to
the
council
and
to
the
public
to
advance
the
public
engagement
process
to
let
you
know
what
we're
doing.
This
is
an
item
for
those
who
don't
know
that
would
create
an
all-legal
resident
voting
in
local
elections,
charter
change
and
that
would
be
proposed
to
to
the
voters
for
march.
It
would
thereby
allow
any
legal
resident
who
a
person
who
is
legally
residing
in
the
united
states,
who
has
chosen
to
to
live
in
burlington
to
vote
in
local
elections.
X
X
What
we
really
wanted
to
do
was
to
give
you
all
an
opportunity
to
see
what
we're
doing
and
to
ask
questions
and
to
then
to
to
join
us
in
supporting
our
continued
momentum
towards
a
december
decision
that
the
council
will
make
in
terms
of
whether
or
not
to
put
this
on
the
the
ballot
for
march,
of
which
I
strongly
hope
that
we
will
do
that.
And
so
we
are
looking
for
some
sort
of
affirmative.
X
Yes,
keep
going
from
the
council
and
I'll
I'll
leave
some
more
conversation
to
my
fellow
committee
members
and
we'll
see
if
one
of
them
makes
a
motion
or
if
it
comes
back
to
me-
and
I
do
so
just
to
keep
the
ball
rolling,
but
that
we
were
really
looking
to
to
the
council
to
to
give
us
the
encouragement
that
we
think
would
be
very
helpful
in
this
process.
And
just
to
note
for
everybody,
there
is
language
on
board
docs
and
here
in
front
of
you
on
the
actual
charter
change.
X
There
is
an
outreach
plan
and
we're
working
closely
with
the
ceto
office
and
they
have
the
money
in
their
budget
for
the
type
of
outreach
that
will
engage
a
variety
of
communities,
both
legal
residents
who
are
not
citizens
as
well
as
citizens,
and
then
there
is
a
draft
frequently
asked
questions
regarding
this
matter.
So
I
thank
you
for
your
attention
on
this.
A
AE
AE
Two
other
communities
have
sort
of
beat
us
to
the
punch,
so
that's
good
because
we
can
follow
their
their
need
and
we
just
really
want
people
to
ask
questions
get
back
to
us
either
as
a
committee
or
individually
to
clarify
anything.
I
think
it's,
it's
all
pretty
straightforward
there,
but
we
just
really
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
not
hearing
any
big
objections,
since
it
has
been
sort
of
sitting
as
an
assignment
for
over
two
years
for
us
to
move
on.
C
Thank
you.
I
want
to
take
an
opportunity
to
commend
councillor
bergman
and
his
leadership
as
chair
of
the
charter
change
committee,
to
really
give
this
matter,
among
others,
but
this
one
in
particular
the
time
attention
and
care
that
I
believe
it
will
need
for
our
community
to
fully
engage
with
the
matter
and
be
fully
informed
if
this
council
were
to
place
it
on
the
ballot
in
march.
C
To
that
end,
as
referenced
in
the
memo,
there's
been
a
number
of
other
folks
with
the
city,
including
sarah,
montgomery
from
the
city
clerk's
office,
jillian
nanton,
from
cedo,
as
well
as
assistant
city
attorney
devlin,
and
I
see
attorney
devlin
here
and
I
believe
it's
attorney
devlin's
last
full
council
meeting
before
he
heads
off
to
greener
pastures.
So
I
would
like
to
note
all
three
of
their
contributions.
Thus
far,
no
doubt
will
continue
to
work
with
sarah,
montgomery
and
julian
natan
and
other
folks
from
the
city.
C
So
I
am
looking
forward
to,
in
my
part
joining
with
my
fellow
counselors
on
the
committee,
joining
with
the
efforts
outlined
in
on
board
docs
from
a
great
memo
put
together
by
jillian
encito
as
to
how
we
are
going
to
get
out
into
the
community.
Rather
than
expect
the
community
to
come
to
us
on
this
matter.
How
we
are
going
to
get
out
into
the
community
find
them
where
they.
F
A
Thank
you
counselor
trevor,
so
this
is
an
opportunity
for
counselors
to
give
their
input
early
in
the
process,
which
I
think
is
great
and
thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
this
to
us.
If
there
are
other
counselors
who
have
comments,
concerns
questions
beyond
the
faq,
which
I
thought
was
extremely
well
done
now,
would
be
the
time.
A
X
Z
A
Z
Thank
you,
president
paul,
which
I
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
comments.
Just
am
supportive
of
this
and
generally
also
just
think
it's
a
good
way
for
us
to
move
forward
collaboratively
on
really
complicated
topics
that
are
in
committee.
So
just
really
appreciate
the
initiative
of
bringing
this
back.
So
thanks
to
the
whole
committee
on
thinking
through
that,
I
think
we
probably
could
have
learned
from
that.
Z
If
we
had
done
things
like
just
cause
eviction
and
whatnot
in
that
manner,
so
just
a
small
encouragement
for
us
to
keep
doing
things
in
this
process
and
a
thanks
to
the
charter
change
committee
for
bringing
this
back
to
us
so
that
we
could
could
get
an
update
before
we
have
to
vote
on
it
and
whenever
you
bring
it
back
to
us.
But
yes,
I
highly
encourage
you
to
keep
working
on
it.
A
D
Yeah,
I
agree
with
councillor
hightower.
It's
been
11
months
since
we
referred
this
to
charter
change
committee,
and
so
I
think
it
was
a
good
move
by
councillor
bergman
just
to
remind
folks
that
this
is
this
is
happening
and
and
especially
for
new
counselors
that
have
come
on
since
that
referral
happened.
But
this
is
a
really
important
issue
and
I
really
urge
the
committee
and
the
full
council
to
get
this
on
the
march
ballot.
My
the
original
intention
was
to
get
it
on
last
march
ballot.
D
A
Great
thank
you
for
that
motion
that
was
seconded
by
counselor
mcgee.
If
there
are
no
other
comments,
we'll
go
to
a
vote,
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
made
by
councillor
bergman
and
seconded
by
councillor
mcgee,
please
say
aye
any
opposed.
Please
say
no
with
that
motion
passes
and
again.
Thank
you
very
much
to
the
charter
change
committee
for
this
update
and
your
work
on
this
change
that
will
come
to
the
voters
in
march.
A
X
I'd
move
the
approval
of
the
contract
and
the
the
proposed
ordinance
referral
and
I
can
read
it
which
would
be
to
authorize
the
director
of
the
department
of
public
works
to
enter
into
a
contract
with
cascade
engineering
for
the
purchase
and
delivery
of
4
000
various
sized
covered
wheeled
recycling
carts
for
the
amount
of
two
hundred
and
eleven
thousand
six
hundred
and
thirty
five
dollars,
subject
to
the
review
and
approval
of
the
city.
Attorney's.
Q
X
X
A
You
councillor
bergman,
is
there
a
second
to
that
motion
seconded
by
councillor
house?
So
this
is
a
program.
It's
a
long
time
in
the
making
and
lee
lee
perry
is
here
from
dpw
to
answer
any
questions
or
if
you
had
any
comments
that
you
wanted
to
make
about
the
program
and
the
public
engagement
rollout
and
then
we
can
go
to
the
council
for
questions
or
comments.
Sure.
AI
AI
AI
A
X
I
think
that
the
ordinance
committee
may
want
to
be
looking
a
little
bit
more
carefully
about
that.
There
is
an
incentive
to
buy
a
smaller
cart.
You
know,
and
we
we
have
some
provisions
in
here
for
minimum
sizes,
but
not
for
necessarily
properly
sized
for
the
the
units.
So
I
would
ask
the
ordinance
committee,
along
with
the
department,
to
be
really
looking
at
that
and
to
give
us
the
ability
if
landlords
are
going
on
the
cheap
to
say
no,
that's
actually
not
acceptable
and
considering
the
rents
that
people
are
paying
right.
AI
I
agree,
and
that's
one
of
my
concerns
with
initially
with
this
ordinance-
is
the
amount
of
stacked
recycling
that
is
wedged
in
between
bins
and
carts,
and
I
want
to
eliminate
I
don't.
I
don't
want
to
see
that.
That's
that's
the
root
cause
of
all
this
litter
that
we
get
in
the
spring
it
snows
on
top
of
it,
our
guys,
don't
see
it.
It's
taken
out
of
the
recycling
stream
put
in
the
landfills,
so
it'd
be
nice
to
to
eliminate
that.
AD
A
AE
Thanks
just
a
little
bit
of
follow
up
on
counselor
bergman's
comment
and
I
actually
had
a
conversa
email
conversation
with
director
perry
around
we're
going
to
have
to
do
a
lot
of
education
with
landlords.
You
know
I
hadn't
thought
so
much
about
it.
I
think
a
lot
of
landlords
just
give
them
a
blue
box
and
they
think
they're
done,
and
so
I'm
as
a
constituent
request,
I
think,
educating
them
that
they
have
to
provide
the
covered
bin.
AI
AI
AE
AI
AI
You
know
we
just
require
that
you
recycle
and
or
we're
going
to
be,
requiring
that
you
use
this
cart.
So
I
think
in
the
public
outreach.
I
think,
that's
a
point.
We
want
to
push
too
because
I
myself
have
been
on
recycling
trucks
and
go
to
put
it
in.
You,
lift
the
cover
and
there's
one
piece
of
paper
in
there.
You
know
and
talk
about
improving
efficiencies,
and
you
know
it's
right
along
with
consolidate
collection,
you
know
cutting
down
on
unnecessary
driving
and
the
less
stops
you
have
to
make.
You
know,
I
think
it
all.
A
B
Thank
you.
I
should
have
quick
question
lee
somebody
reached
out
to
me
today,
so
I
apologize
for
not
emailing
this
before
now,
but
they
recently
replaced
their
blue
bin
with
the
smallest
toter
and
tried
to
fit
it
into
their
apartment,
because
they're
used
to
having
the
blue
bin
in
their
apartment
and
there's
some
confusion
around
the
language
that
the
blue
bin
and
the
smallest
toter
are
roughly
the
same
size
and
that's.
AI
Footprint
right
exactly
they
are
taller
and
there
are
going
to
be
some
instances
and
unfortunately
we
you
know,
we
know
that
that
it's
going
to
be
hard
to
store
these
bins
and
they're
going
to
have
to
you
know,
seek
alternative
places.
I
I've
gotten
emails
about
theft,
you
know
people
stealing
bins,
and
you
know
that's
one
of
the
issues
that
residents
are
are
going
to
have
to
to
to
solve
is
where
to
keep
these.
Whether
they're
lined
up
same
with
you
know,
property
owners
with
multi-units.
AI
You
know:
do
they
line
them
up
out
back,
you
know,
bring
them
out
in
the
front.
We.
We
have
a
lot
of
bigger
properties
that
we
do,
that
that
do
that
they'll
pull
them
all
out
to
the
curb
we'll
pick
them
up
and
they
have
someone
that
brings
them
back,
and
it's
just
a
similar
situation
that
a
resident's
going
to
have
to
do.
AI
B
D
D
You
know
that
that
are
in
the
community
and
I
think
yeah
definitely
one
of
the
main
uses,
I
think
will
be
just
what
counselor
mcgee
says
said,
and-
and
this
is
what
we
already
do
in
in
my
building,
which
is
each
unit,
has
the
blue
bin,
and
then
we
all
bring
that
to
a
larger
dumpster
in
our
case,
but
I
think
that'll
be
a
common
use
and
then
we
talked
about
other
possibilities
and
uses
for
for
the
old
bins.
So
I
think
it's
an
ongoing
conversation,
but
I'm
really
excited
we're.
A
E
Yeah,
so
not
to
not
to
call
my
own
word
out
here.
I
love
my
neighborhood,
but
I'm
from
ward
8,
which
could
very
well
be
the
empty
beer
can
capital
of
the
world,
and
you
know
when
I
was
campaigning.
The
top
five
issues
that
I
heard
constituents
wanted
resolved
were
climate
crisis,
housing
crisis,
public
safety,
mental
health
and
recycling,
and
so
I
think
our
our
community
is
split
on
so
many
issues.
H
E
But
actually,
I
think
this
is
huge.
I
think
it's
gonna
go
a
long
way
in
keeping
our
streets
and
our
local
ecosystem
clean.
I
think
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
execute
the
distribution
well,
and
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
people
know
about
it
know
who's
responsible
for
purchasing
it.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
people,
especially
students,
are
educated
on
like
practices
of
best
use
for
these
bins.
E
I
want
to
you
know
echo
councillor
bergman's
statement
that
we
need
bigger
bins
and
I
think
if
anyone
has
any
doubts
about
that,
they
could
just
take
a
stroll
down
to
the
uvm
frat
houses
on
a
saturday
morning,
so
I'm
definitely
in
favor
of
bigger
bins.
But
overall
I
really
support
this.
So
thank
you
for
your
effort.
Thank
you.
A
D
A
A
H
A
Any
opposed,
please
say:
no.
The
motion
passes
unanimously
with
the
council's
thanks
and
appreciation
for
the
work
of
everyone
at
dpw
to
bring
this
recycling
project
to
the
next
level,
we'll
move
on
with
a
related
dpw,
but
not
dpw
issue,
and
that
is
the
6.05,
which
is
a
resolution,
an
authorization
for
up
to
1.1
million
step.
One
loan
from
the
vermont
clean
water
state
revolving
fund
for
upgrade
planning
of
wastewater
plant
infrastructure,
and
this
item
came
to
the
board
of
finance.
So
I'll,
look
to
counselor
mcgee
for
a
motion.
B
A
You
do
think
I
do
not
you
do
not.
Okay,
so
emotion
has
been
made
by
councilor
mcgee
for
a
motion
to
adopt
waive
the
reading
and
adopt
the
resolution
seconded
by
counselor
house,
and
we
do
have.
We
actually
have
believe
well
megan.
You
are
here
director
of
water
resources
and
we
als.
We
have
a
full
crowd
here
from
water
resources.
A
One
of
the
the
reason
why
this
is
on
the
deliberative
agenda
is
because,
at
the
last
board
of
finance
meeting
on
monday,
councillor
mcgee
and
I
had
requested
that
this
go
on
deliberative,
so
that
we
can
give
the
community
and
give
the
council
an
opportunity
to
hear
about
the
loan
what
this
upgrade
planning
means
and
what
the
future
holds
for
these
improvements
and
what
it
means
to
our
taxpayers.
Our
rate
pay
europe
our
ratepayers
in
the
coming
years.
A
AJ
Yeah,
of
course,
thank
you.
So
much.
Can
everybody
hear
me
I'm
from
my
remote
location
on
the
coast
of
maine,
but
I
do
have
matt
dao
who's,
our
facilities,
our
wastewater
facilities
manager
there
with
you
in
black
and
martin
lee
who's,
our
water
resources,
engineer
and
there's
any
questions
that
come
up
in
person.
AJ
They
can
also
attend
to
those,
but
thank
you
very
much
for
giving
you
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
ensure
burlington's
the
resiliency
of
burlington's
wastewater
plants
as
we
move
forward
just
taking
a
little
bit
of
a
step
back
to
give
you
context,
you
know
it's
sometimes
amazing
to
me
that
wastewater
didn't
come
to
burlington
until
the
1950s
previous
to
that
we
were
literally
dumping.
Raw
sewage
into
the
lake
you'll
see
main
plant
was
the
first
one
built.
AJ
Now
it's
fairly
typical
for
wastewater
plants
to
be
rebuilt
anywhere
between
20
and
every
20
to
30
years,
largely
because
of
the
harsh
impacts
of
the
wastewater
on
the
equipment
and
also
because
frequently,
regulations
change,
which
is
largely
what
happened
in
the
1970s.
Even
though
north
and
east
had
been
built
in
the
60s,
they
turned
around
and
new
effluent
requirements.
AJ
At
the
same
time,
we
were
also
dealing
with
the
new
lake
champlain
tmdl
for
phosphorus
total
maximum
daily
load.
So
we
knew
that
there
were
likely
going
to
be
improvements
that
would
be
need
to
be
had
at
the
wastewater
treatment
plants
to
address
that,
as
well
as
the
combined
sewer
overflow
policy
change
in
2016..
AJ
So
we're
kind
of
digesting
all
of
that
when,
unfortunately,
in
2018
and
many
of
you
remember
this,
we
certainly
had
one
of
our
worst
years
as
far
as
release
of
improperly
treated
sewage.
Beaches
were
closed
multiple
times
and
while
burlington
deals
with
a
lot
of
beach
closures.
Nowadays,
in
part
due
to
climate
change
and
all
of
the
phosphorus,
that's
coming
down
the
window
ski
basin.
I
really
view
these
types
of
beach
closures,
malfunctioned
at
wastewater
treatment
plants
as
preventable
and
that's
what
we
want
to
do
with
your
support.
AJ
Using
that
money.
We
really
focused
quickly
on
tackling
the
the
pieces
of
equipment
that
had
failed
in
2018
and
we
were
able
to
replace
the
disinfection
systems.
That's
the
chlorination
system
that
kills
the
bacteria,
that's
one
of
the
things
that
had
failed
at
maine
plants
and
we
replaced
them
at
all
three
of
the
plants
and
then
also
at
main
plant.
We
replaced
the
central
computer
system,
which
was
another
key
piece
of
equipment
that
had
failed
and
contributed
to
2018.
AJ
We
we
determined
that,
even
after
we
spent
say
the
next
12
million
dollars
on
the
remaining
wastewater
systems
that
we
had
identified
in
2018,
that
we
really
weren't
going
to
be
presenting
a
risk
profile
that
we
were
happy
with.
Basically,
there
were
still
too
many
systems
too
many
high
risk
systems
that
were
remaining
after
the
clean
water,
resiliency
plan
funding
and
and
in
order
to
tackle
those
it's
more
than
we
actually
have
money
money
for
are.
AJ
We
don't
want
to
have
any
systems
that
are
in
the
d
or
the
f
category
that
makes
matt's
job
really
really
challenging,
really
really
stressful
to
be
walking
into
the
plant,
not
knowing
at
any
given
moment
what
thing
might
fail
and
what
might
result
in
having
to
close
beaches,
which
is
something
that
we
as
water
quality
professionals,
never
want
to
do,
and
so,
where
we're
at
now
is
looking
at.
You
know
substantially
larger
projects,
one
that
we've
broken
out
into
three
phases,
largely
because
of
when
they
need
to
start
you'll
see
that
stage.
AJ
The
request
that
went
before
the
board
of
finance
also
involved
approving
a
contract
with
another
wastewater
consultant
to
do
third
party
review.
This
project
is
substantial
enough.
It's
important
enough
that
we
want
to
get
as
many
eyes
on
it
as
possible
to
help
you
and
us
make
decisions
about
this
important
future.
AJ
We've
got
a
pretty
tight
schedule
here,
but
some
key
things
that
we
wanted
to
bring
to
your
attention
different
from
other,
perhaps
dpw
projects
there's
not
going
to
be
a
whole
long
list
of
project
alternatives
that
we're
going
to
be
needing
to
seek
input
on
from
the
council
or
from
the
toque.
But
there
are
some
some
key
ones
that
we
think
will
want
some
stakeholder
engagement
specifically.
AJ
Do
we
do
odor
control
or
not
odor
control
order,
control,
which
a
lot
of
people
request
for
the
plants?
It's
very
expensive.
We
think
it
could
have
some
long-term
economic
benefits
for
burlington,
but
that's
going
to
be
something
that
we're
going
to
weigh
together
with
you
all
other.
Another
key
alternative
is
that
we
are
looking
and
I'm
pretty
excited
about
this-
the
possibility
of
consolidating
one
of
our
small
plants
with
one
of
our
bigger
plants.
AJ
While
it
may
be
slightly
more
costly
in
the
short
term,
it
will
save
future
ratepayers
money.
Every
20-year
upgrade
that
we
would
otherwise
have
to
do
would
be
much
much
simpler.
So
that's
another
thing
that
we'll
be
wanting
to
to
get
into
more
details
with
with
the
toque
and
other
stakeholders-
and
this
is
all
all
in
support
of
heading-
to
being
able
to
start
construction
by
calendar
year,
2024
on
stage
one
and
then
the
subsequent
year.
We
would
start
in
stage
two
with
those
finishing
more
or
less
around
the
same
time.
AJ
There
is
a
stage
three,
it's
far
enough
off
and
kind
of
depends
on
how
stage
one
and
stage
two
go
that
we're
not
going
to
get
into
huge
details
with
that.
But
when
we,
when
we
come
back
to
you
in
december
or
january,
we
are
going
to
be
presenting
to
you
some
more
refined
cost
estimates
for
stage
one
and
stage
two,
as
well
as
some
sort
of
long-term
cost
estimates
for
stage
three,
so
that
you
can
have
the
context
that
you
may
need
to
make
your
decisions,
some
ratepayer
considerations.
AJ
Water
is
life.
We
want
to
make
sure
that,
at
the
same
time
that
we're
taking
care
of
our
infrastructure
so
that
people
can
enjoy
water,
water,
drink
water
that
we're
not
we're,
not
forgetting
that
people
have
to
pay
these
costs,
I'm
not
going
to
lie
that
the
cost
to
modernize
and
upgrade
that
the
treatment
plants
are
going
to
be
significant.
So
the
cost
of
the
last
upgrade,
as
I
mentioned,
with
52
million
and
today's
dollars
that
upgrade
alone
would
be
approximately
100
million
dollars.
AJ
I
think
we've
demonstrated
to
you
through
our
affordability
program
and
other
measures,
that
you
know
we're
going
to
aggressively,
pursue
all
state
and
federal
funding
and
low-cost
financing
for
this
work.
The
loan
request
that
we're
making
right
now
is
is
through
the
vermont
state
revolving
loan
loan
fund,
which
has
zero
percent
borrowing
at
this
stage,
and
then
should
we
go
to
construction,
has
two
percent
borrowing
cost,
which
is
extremely
competitive
compared
to
the
private
bond
markets.
A
No,
that
was
one
that
was,
that
was
really
that
was
an
excellent
presentation
and
certainly
the
information
that
I
think
I
think
councilor
mcgee
and
I
were
really
looking
for
you
know
so
the
community
understands
where
we're
headed
with
this.
You
know
this
particular
this
particular
loan
is
certainly
a
significant
amount,
but
it
is
part
of
a
larger,
a
much
larger
project,
and
many
of
these
things,
as
you
say,
on
the
timeline,
will
be
coming
back
to
us.
Was
there
anything
that
you
either
of
you
wanted
to
add.
AK
I
I
echo
megan's
comments
I
mean
now.
We
strongly
feel
that
now
is
the
time
to
do
this,
since
it's
been
30
years,
this
includes
modest
capacity
increase,
as
well
as
our
ability
to
meet
new
regulatory
limits.
So
I
don't
know
if
matt
has
anything
to
add,
but
he
also
gives
great
wastewater
tours,
and
I
know
we
we
really
want
to
get
the
word
out
and
and
spread
that
a
bit
capability
to
the
community
to
to
see
the
plants
in
person.
AL
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
you
know
the
the
three
plants
the
25
pump
stations,
they're,
tired.
We
have
a
great
crew
that
comes
in
every
day
and
and
tries
to
do
the
best
that
we
can
it's.
It
just
is
kind
of
hard,
sometimes
with
with
what
we
get
to
work
with.
So
that's
kind
of
why
we're
here
and
like
martin
said
and
if
I
think
mark
came
to
a
tour
that
we
did
in
the
rain
last
month.
AL
I
love
talking
about
wastewater,
be
more
than
happy
to
give
everybody
a
tour
I'll
talk
to
you
for
three
hours
three
days
if
you
want,
but
we
every
every
fourth
thursday.
Currently
at
least
for
this
month
in
september,
we
run
it
we're
running
towards
a
tour
at
five
o'clock,
and
I
would
love
to
see
any
or
all
of
you.
There.
A
Thank
you
thanks.
So
much
we
actually
had
actually
spoken
with
with
megan
about
possibly
doing
this
as
a
field
trip
for
all
of
us,
but
if
you,
if,
if
you
would
prefer
to
do
it
a
few
at
a
time,
we
certainly
could
do
it
that
way.
So
these
are
these.
This
is
a
vote
today.
Obviously,
as
megan
has
shown
us
on
the
powerpoint,
there
will
be
many
other
opportunities,
but
that
being
said,
if
there
are
counselors
who
have
questions
or
comments
at
this
time,
counselor
bergman.
X
I
think
it's
incumbent
upon
us
for
me
to
ask
the
mayor
to
explain
it
this
relationship
with
this
request
with
the
school.
I
believe
I
understand
that.
There's
no
conflict
with
this
and
it's
not
going
to
impair
our
our
debt
limits
further,
but
I
think
the
public
really
should
hear
that
from
from
you.
U
That's
right,
council
bergman,
the
the
borrowing
limitations
that
we
talked
about
earlier
tonight
apply
to
general
obligation
bonding,
which
is
bonding
this
paid
for
through
the
general
obligation
of
the
city
through
through
property
taxes
and
what
we
are
starting
down.
The
road
with
tonight's
with
this
additional
engineering
will
ultimately
be
investments
that
will
be
made
by
the
wastewater
utility
and
that
would
be
supported
by
revenue
bonds,
which
are
are
not
supported
by
property.
Taxes
are
supported
by
by
revenues.
X
B
AB
I
just
wanted
to
put
a
plug-in
for
the
wastewater
tour.
I've
been
on
a
lot
of
field
trips
in
the
city,
and
this
is
one
of
the
best
ones.
So
I
highly
recommend
it.
Matt
does
a
great
job
and
it
gives
me
a
deeper
appreciation
for
the
need
as
well
and
so
I'd
encourage
my
colleagues
to
go
on
down.
I
had
the
fortune
of
being
there
doing
a
wet
weather
event,
which
there
were
additional
systems
working
at
the
time
which
made
it
all
the
more
interesting
but
I'd
recommend
it.
And
yes,
I'm
supportive
of
this.
A
B
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
you
all
for
being
here
tonight
and
a
special
thank
you
to
director
moyer
for
being
here,
even
though
you're
on
vacation
in
maine,
I
really
appreciate
neal's
commitment
to
resiliency
for
the
system
and
with
an
eye
towards
rate
payers
as
well.
You
know
I
just
look
forward
to
supporting
this
tonight
and
supporting
work
to
improve
the
system
going
forward.
Thank
you.
AD
Thank
you.
I
too
have
toured
the
wastewater
facility
actually
with
david
marr,
and
our
mission
was
to
try
to
reduce
the
odor
coming
from
the
wastewater
facility
and
we
got
a
lesson
in
odor
reduction
and
I
believe
that
was
one
of
the
questions
before
before
us
was.
Should
we
invest
in
odor
reduction?
AD
Bumping
right
up
to
our
bike
path
certainly
makes
it
conducive
to
make
them
smell
just
as
lovely
as
possible,
and
I
actually
also
biked
by
the
new
north
end
facility
recently,
because
if
you
take
north
ave
down
to
the
bike
bridge,
you'll
you'll
go
buy
that
one
too.
So
thank
you.
I
definitely
want
to
support
your
efforts
and
appreciate
all
you've
done
to
identify
the
problems
and
try
and
try
and
head
them
off
for
really
the
protection
of
our
lake.
Thank
you.
A
A
AJ
H
A
AJ
AB
A
AB
This
request
has
grown
out
of
a
realization
that
the
maps
drawn
so
far
each
meet
many
of
the
objectives
we've
set
out
and
have
been
set
out
by
the
ad
hoc
committee
and
and
and
others,
but
also
realizing
that
all
of
the
maps
we've
had
so
far
face
challenges
in
achieving
consensus
on
this
council.
This
latest
mapping
idea
attempts
to
address
specific
challenges
around
keeping
the
new
north
end
and
old
north
end
wards
separated,
while
also
keeping
the
council
size
less
than
16
members
without
using
the
district
overlays
that
we
currently
have.
AB
This
would
be
accomplished
by
creating
a
seven
ward
map
with
five
two
member
districts
in
two
one-member
districts.
We
have
examples
of
this
configuration
drawn
by
citizens.
I
think
they're
they're,
both
here
with
us
tonight
and
we're
at
a
point
where
it
would
be
useful
to
have
an
official
map
for
review
by
the
council
and
the
public
and
facilitate
further
discussion,
and
with
that
I'm
open
for
questions.
If
anybody
has
any.
A
Z
Great
so
yeah,
I
know
that
I
think
the
problem
is:
there's
no
map,
that's
gonna
fulfill
all
of
the
things
that
we
want
and
part
of
the
way
this
came
into
being
is
looking
at
or
thinking
about.
A
six
word
map
that,
like
console
bar
alert,
just
said
that
then
still
because
a
six
word
map
to
some
extent
keeps
a
lot
of
the
neighborhoods
intact.
That
folks
wanted
to
see.
Z
A
C
Council
berg
bar-
I
just
did
it
too
council
barlow
sarah
for
bringing
this
resolution
forward.
I
think
it's
also
worth
noting
that
there's
a
number
of
folks
who
have
volunteered
their
time
from
the
community
to
suggest
a
number
of
maps.
Two
of
them
are
here
in
the
room
and
robert
bristow
johnson
and
chris
haisley.
C
We
also
had
on
our
agenda
a
map
suggested
by
barbara
hedrick,
and
these
are
among
folks
who
have
dedicated
a
lot
of
time
to
providing
suggestions
to
us.
I
I
just
agree
with
the
comments
that
the
maps
we've
seen
thus
far
have
their
benefits.
They
also
have
their
problems.
I
believe
that
in
asking
for
this
map
that
we
will
have
a
full
menu
of
options
that
hopefully
we
can
find
a
path
forward
on.
C
We
heard
in
public
comment
a
suggestion
that
we
should
survey
voters
once
the
menu
of
options
are
out
there
one
way
or
another.
I
think
that
that
is
the
next
step
here
once
we
receive
this
map
truly
hear
from
the
public
have
some
more
public
hearings
on
this
such
that
we
can
get
a
real
sense
as
to
what
the
community
is
looking
for
here.
E
E
I
personally
don't
think
we
can
go
wrong
with
more
representation,
but
you
know
I
understand
that
it's
hard
to
get
a
map
where
everyone's
happy,
and
so
I
I
think
that
this
could
be
a
compromise,
and
I
I
really
do
appreciate
line
10
in
this,
which
is
distributing
student
population
across
multiple
awards.
I
think
again,
I
love
ward
8,
but
I
don't
think
it
ever
should
have
happened,
and
I
think
that
whatever
map
we
decide
on
really
needs
to
address
that
issue.
E
B
B
I
myself
am
also
still
supportive
of
a
map
that
has
eight
wards
and
two
counselors
per
ward.
But
I
do
appreciate
that
this
resolution,
asking
for
a
seven
ward
map,
recognizes
the
sentiment
that
we
would
like
to
keep
the
old
north
end
and
the
new
north
end
as
distinct
neighborhoods.
So
look
forward
to
seeing
this
map
on
the
official
city
website
soon
and
look
forward
to
having
more
conversations
about
this.
A
D
Yeah
thanks,
I
agree
with
others,
and
I
was
surprised
to
see
this.
I
didn't
know
that
folks
were
working
on
this,
but
I'm
glad
to
see
it
and
I
think
yeah.
We
need
to
find
a
path
forward
and
you
know
try
to
get
this
to
voters
into
the
community
and
so
that
we
can
move
forward
and
have
kind
of
relating
back
to
the
other
issue
of
all
resident
voting.
This
is
an
issue
of
representation
and
one
person,
one
vote
and
people
having
a
voice
and
achieving
you
know
better
local
democracy.
D
AB
A
A
F
A
A
A
A
A
AM
Okay,
I
can
give
a
brief
background.
These
are
five
separate
contracts
that
are
required
to
the
physical
development
of
the
site
to
create
an
emergency
shelter
community
on
elmwood
avenue.
So
they
include
everything
from
making
water
wastewater
connections
to
up
to
and
through
the
actual
shelters,
the
bathrooms,
the
community
space,
the
fence,
the
paint
that's
going
to
be
required,
so
pretty
inclusive,
with
five
separate
contracts,
and
I
think
mostly
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
B
I
know
that
we'll
hopefully
have
an
announcement
on
a
manager
soon
and
we're
not
quite
ready
for
that
yet,
but
we're
moving
forward
and
hopeful
for
a
november
first
open
date
and
look
forward
to
continuing
the
community
outreach
whenever
we
find
a
manager
working
with
them
to
continue
to
build
community
with
neighbors
and
get
ready
for
folks
to
move
in
there.
So
just
wanted
to
say
that,
and
thank
you
for
sticking
with
us.
A
F
A
AM
B
A
Okay,
so
when
you
are
saying
complete
the
rest
of
our
council
agenda,
you
are
talking
about
our
deliberative
as
well
as
items:
seven,
eight,
nine
and
ten
correct.
Okay.
So
there's
a
motion
made
to
suspend
our
rules
seconded
by
second
councillor
bergman,
let's
require
yes,
we
will
go
to
a
vote.
So
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
to
suspend
our
rules
to
complete
our
entire
agenda.
Please
say:
aye
all.
H
A
Any
opposed
great,
so
we
will
that's.
That's
wonderful,
we'll
be
able
to
finish
our
entire
agenda
and
also
complete
all
of
the
other
items.
Besides
the
deliberative,
so
we
will
go
to
item
6.08,
which
is
a
request
to
accept
federal
aviation
administration,
grant
to
update
the
noise
exposure
map
and
execute
a
contract
for
related
services
with
jones
payne
group
incorporated
before
we
go
to
the
airport
staff.
Who
is
here
we'll
go
to
a
motion
and
for
that
I'll?
Look
to
counselor
bergman.
X
X
A
Okay,
so
motion
has
been
made
by
councillor
bergman
seconded
by
councillor
house.
Just
wanted
to
note
just
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
this
correctly.
So
that
is
not
the
recommended
action.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
does
not
create
any
challenges
for
the
airport
staff
or
in
terms
of
or
the
city
attorney's
office.
So.
X
A
X
And
director
longos
indicated
that
that
was
no
problem,
that
it
was
consistent
with
the
faa's
authorizations
or
they
could.
You
know
that
they
would
authorize
that,
and
it
seems
to
me
absolutely
appropriate
that
we
know
exactly
what
the
impact
of
the
the
guard
is,
and
I
see
absolutely
no
harm
in
that
and
truly
support
the
you
know
getting
that
information
and
wholeheartedly
would
support
the
the
grant
and
the
the
contract
with
that
information.
X
A
You,
council
bergman,
so
we
do
have
acting
director
of
aviation
nick
longo,
as
well
as
the
director
of
ground
transportation,
shelby
lozier,
who
are
joining
us
by
zoom.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here.
I
don't
know
if
you
had
any
other
comments
that
you
wanted
to
make,
or
we
can
then
go
to
counselor
questions.
AC
No,
I
think
I
think,
that's
great.
Thank
you
very
much.
Council
president.
I
I
think
everything
really
is
explained
in
the
memo
and
and
as
councillor
bergman
just
announced
to
those
minor
changes
in
the
scope
of
work,
the
action
item
or
the
recommended
motion.
There
really
is
just
to
accept
this
federal
aviation
grant,
as
well
as
contract
with
the
jones
payne
group
2,
to
complete
our
updated
noise
exposure
map
related
to
the
overall
noise
compatibility
program.
AC
A
A
Thank
you,
nick
and
shelby
for
your
time
for
joining
us
at
this
hour,
and
we
look
forward
to
future
updates
as
the
mapping
process
moves
forward.
Absolutely
thank
you
that
will
bring
us
to
item
6.09,
which
is
a
resolution,
the
establishment
of
the
local
cannabis
control
commission
and
for
that
motion
I'll,
look
to
counselor
hanson.
A
D
A
Great
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
your
work
on
this.
We
have
megan
tuttle,
the
director
of
city
planning
and
kara
al-naswaari,
the
director
of
business
and
workforce
development
with
us.
I
don't
know
if
either
one
of
you
wanted
to
speak
to
this
first
or
if
you
just
wanted
to
go
to
any
questions
from
counselors.
AN
I'm
happy
to
just
do
a
quick,
rundown
and
megan,
please
feel
free
to
to
jump
in
as
needed.
I
would
first
like
to
apologize
for
our
delay
on
getting
this
memo
to
you.
There
has
been
a
lot
of
confusion
and
delay
at
the
state
level
and
we
have
been
working
closely
with
the
state
to
try
and
make
sure
that
we
understood
everything
that
they
were
expecting
of
us.
AN
So
we've
been
in
constant
communication
with
them
the
last
few
months,
but
that
has
been
part
of
the
delay
in
this
memo
in
january
of
2021,
this
body
adopted
a
resolution
regarding
the
city
opting
in
to
retail
cannabis.
In
addition
to
setting
out
some
framework
of
how
you
wish
us
to
approach
this
topic.
AN
Since
you
passed
that
resolution
act,
162
was
passed
by
the
state
which
did
address
many
of
the
social
equity
aspects
that
had
been
brought
forth
in
your
resolution,
and
we
did
sort
of
break
them
down
and
detail
them
for
you
and
we
are
still
working
on
a
few
further
items
with
the
state,
but
the
state
did
create
a
body
that
will
allow
a
system
that
will
excuse
me.
It
will
allow
social.
AO
AO
We
are
recommending
at
this
time
that
the
city
moved
forward
with,
from
a
zoning
perspective
with
regulating
cannabis
establishments
according
to
whatever
is
the
closest
existing
land
use
in
our
zoning
ordinance.
So,
for
example,
we're
talking
about
retail
establishments
tonight
regulating
cannabis
retail
establishments
in
the
same
ways
we
would
regulate
other
retail
establishments
in
the
city.
AO
A
B
Thank
you
and
thank
you
both
for
your
work
on
this.
It's
important
and
a
long
time
coming
to
see
retail
cannabis
here
in
burlington,
and
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
us
moving
forward
with
that,
I
do
have
some
questions
related
to
you
know.
I
understand
that
the
state
is
going
to
be
ready
to
issue
licenses
on
october
1st
for
retail
operations.
AN
I'm
happy
to
take
that,
no,
so
the
municipality,
the
way
the
legislation
reads,
the
municipality
does
not
have
to
have
a
local
cannabis
control
board.
So
if
we
do
nothing
or
if
we
delay
this
tonight
and
they
issue
retail
licenses
in
october
on
october
1st,
those
establishments
will
be
allowed
to
set
up
within
burlington,
because
we
opted
in
through
the
ballot
initiative
by
setting
up
the
local
cannabis
control
board
tonight
by
using
that
mechanism
and
we're
using
the
same
council
mechanism
that
you
use
for
the
liquor
control.
AN
B
Great,
thank
you
that
answers
my
question.
I
just
you
know
want
to
be
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
licenses
were
meant
to
be
issued
by
the
state
starting
in
may,
and
that
the
council
resolution
called
for
us
to
wait
until
october
to
allow
retail
sales
to
commence
in
the
city.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
you
know,
sticking
to
degree
the
degree
that
we
can
or
sticking
to
that
timeline.
Q
D
There's
I
I
do
think,
there's
there's
a
decent
amount
that
we
can
do
beyond
what's
even
laid
out
potentially
in
this
memo.
As
someone
who's
been
on
the
local
control
subcommittee
in
the
license
committee,
I
think
for
my
entire
time
on
council
there's,
there's
really
a
lot
of
discretion
and
leeway
with
that
with
those
boards,
at
least
where
autonomy
has
a
board,
and
we
can
decide
really
what
to
do
with
applications
that
come
in
pretty
freely.
E
Yeah
I
mean
this
may
be.
Thank
you,
president
paul.
This
may
be
a
discussion
for
a
different
time.
Thank
you
all
for
bearing
with
us
at
this
late
hour
yeah.
So
I
guess
just
knowing
that
certain
populations,
specifically
people
of
color,
have
faced
disproportional
rates
of
incarceration
for
cannabis
related
matters,
especially
during
the
war
on
drugs.
E
AN
Megan
you
and
I
can
take-
turns
the
the
way
the
legislation
is
laid
out
in
the
state.
They
definitely
do
make
an
attempt
to
have
this
be
from
the
state
down
to
a
very
top
level,
and
we
have
been
working
with
them
to
try
and
understand
what
we
can
and
can't
do
and
in
addition,
we
have
been
working
closely
and
this
might
answer
your
question
more
with
our
reib
department
and
trying
to
understand
from
a
health
equity
perspective
and
from
as
you
talk
about
writing
the
historical
wrongs.
AO
Yeah,
I
think
I
will
just
echo
what
you
said:
counselor
house
is
that
this
will
require
continued
conversation
and
and
definitely
look
forward
to
reib's
ability
to
help
us
lead.
Those
conversations
I
think,
from
a
starting
perspective.
The
state
heard
some
feedback
and
concerns
about
the
way
that
this
process
was
being
established
and
was
part
of
the
reason
why
act
162
that
kara
mentioned
followed
on
the
initial
legislation
that
established
a
legal
marketplace
for
cannabis,
really
kind
of
establishing
those
mechanisms
for
prioritizing
what
they
call
social
equity
applicants.
AO
So
those
are
applicants
to
open
cannabis
establishments
that
have
previously
been
disproportionately
impacted
by
the
war
on
drugs
and
previous
policies.
So
I
think
that's
one
aspect,
as
well
as
the
business
development
fund
to
help
kind
of
go
beyond
prior
prioritizing
applications
and
also
helping
to
develop
economic
development
for
businesses
that
are
interested
in
participating
in
this
now
legal
market.
So
those
are
just
two
kind
of
initial
things
that
I
could
offer
but
agree.
It
does
require
some
continued
conversation.
C
Thank
you,
president
paul.
I
support
the
resolution
to
create
a
local
cannabis
control
board
in
the
interest
of
fully
supporting
burlington
applicants.
I
want
to
echo
councillor
mcgee's
points
about
ensuring
that
we
are
able
to
act
timely
on
information
received
from
the
state
and
just
to
follow
up
on
those
questions.
I'm
more
specifically
wondering.
AN
I
I
think
before,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
but
I
don't
know
if
we
have
confirmation
received,
I
don't
know
if
they
have
fully
been
approved
yet
of
individuals
looking
to
open
retail
establishments
in
burlington,
and
but
if
we
create
the
local
cannabis
control
board,
those
the
retail
licenses
would
be
would
once
we
create
the
board.
Those
applicants
have
to
go,
have
to
get
the
approval
from
our
local
cannabis
control
board
before
they
can
open.
However,
as
megan
mentioned,
growing
and
production
don't
require
any
act
on
this
from
this
body.
H
AN
No
or
if
not
not,
if
you
don't,
if
go
ahead,
it
was
timeline
was
the
next
which
counselor
traverse.
I
I
understand
that
you're
asking
us
for
and
as
megan
had
said
before,
we
just
need
to
work
with
the
clerk
treasurer's
office
and
to
have
those
applicants
if
they
are
far
enough,
along
with
the
state,
come
to
the
next
meeting.
C
If
I
could
just
follow
up,
I'm
just
I'm
mindful
the
fact
that
september
19th
is
five
weeks
from
today
and,
of
course,
the
license
committee,
which
will
now
serve
as
the
local
cannabis
control
board,
will
have
to
meet
some
time
before
then.
In
order
for
any
approval
that
we
provide
to
a
retail
store
to
come
back
before
the
full
council.
AN
A
A
A
A
A
Going
twice-
and
it
doesn't
appear
as
though
there
is
anyone
on
zoom
that
wishes
to
speak
in
the
public
hearing
so
and
there's
no
one
here
raising
their
hand
in
contouring,
so
we'll
close
the
public
hearing
and
go
to
the
ordinances,
the
first
one
being
the
comprehensive
development
ordinance
ordinance
on
steep
slope,
za
22-3,
counselor
travers.
If
you
could
offer
us
a
motion.
C
A
C
Thank
you.
I
know
we
have
director
tuttle
here.
I
spoke
to
director
tuttle
and
and
thought
that
I
could
provide
an
update
as
to
what
the
ordinance
committee
did
and
then,
if
any
counselors
have
questions
can
go
to
director
tuttle.
So
the
steep
slopes,
ordinance
change
was
precipitated
by
a
landslide
along
riverside
in
recent
years,
which
gave
rise
to
a
need
for
more
regulatory
framework
around
so-called
steep
slopes
on
board
docks.
C
A
B
A
C
So
now
that
we've
put
a
bond
measure
on
the
ballot
for
a
new
high
school
there,
what
there
is
one
other
important
element
to
this,
which
is
at
the
moment
our
high
school,
is
a
non-conforming
use
where
it
is.
There
is
a
need
for
us
to
update
our
zoning
use
table
to
actually
allow
for
a
high
school
where
we
would
like
to
put
a
high
school.
There
was
a
good
discussion
before
the
ordinance
committee.
C
That
is
what
is
accomplished
by
this
proposed
change
in
the
ordinance
committee.
I
would
say
that
our
discussion
focused
on
two
issues.
In
particular,
councilor
hanson
had
raised
issues
regarding
maximum
parking
at
the
high
school.
There
was
a
good
discussion
as
well
with
respect
to
setbacks
around
the
high
school.
Ultimately,
the
the
amendment
made
by
the
ordinance
committee
here
was
one
to
further
limit
maximum
parking
requirements
at
the
high
school.
C
AO
The
one
thing
I'll
just
note
is
that,
in
order
to
achieve
the
goal
that
counselor
traverse
mentioned,
of
allowing
the
school
as
a
use
in
this
district
is
that
we
are
also
proposing
that
the
district
be
changed
to
an
institutional
district
and
that
we
apply
a
specific
zoning
district
with
special
standards
for
the
high
school
itself.
On
top
of
that,
so
that's
the
kind
of
key
change
that
helps
us
achieve,
enabling
the
school
great.
A
Thank
you
for
adding
that.
Are
there
any
counselors
who
have
any
questions
or
comments
on
this
ordinance,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
waiving
the
second
reading
and
adopting
the
ordinance
as
amended
by
the
ordinance
committee
and
counselor
travers,
please
say
aye
any
oppose.
Please
say
no,
so
that
motion
passes
unanimously
and
that
completes
our
deliberative
agenda.
A
A
U
Thank
you.
That's
right.
Yes,
we
are
back
in
the
to
be
clear.
The
council
of
mayor
presiding
meeting
is
reconvened
at
10
55
and
I
will
hand
over
so
when
we
recess
there
was
a
question
as
to
whether
the
six
to
five
decision
to
appoint
a
commissioner
was
sufficient
or
whether
there
needed
to
be
a
majority
of
the
body,
not
just
those
members
present,
and
I
believe
the
parliamentarian
is
ready
to
issue
a
ruling
on
this.
AP
AP
U
Thank
you
appreciate
that
you
again
are
being
asked
to
fill
in
and
help
us
sort
our
way
through
in
this
role,
given
that
ruling
by
the
parliamentarianitarian,
I
think
we
have
elected
a
a
point.
I
think
we
have
rendered
a
decision
on
the
filling
of
of
this
commission
appointment
and
that
julia
randall
has
been.
U
U
That's
right
and
I
am
persuaded
by
the
materials
that
the
prominentarian
has
shown
me.
There
was
a
concurring,
although
for
slightly
different
reasoning,
email
that
I've
gotten
from
our
from
kim
sturdivant
and
jared
pellerin
as
well,
who
are
watching
the
meeting
and
looked
into
it
further.
So
I'm
satisfied
that
that
my
ruling
is
gonna,
be
that
we
that
we,
we
accept
the
outcome
of
the
six-five
majority
vote.
Z
U
Right
so,
if
you're
asking
not
okay,
so
I
thought
you
were
asking
me
to
clarify
that
I
do
believe,
there's
a
provision
for
overruling
the
chair,
which
requires
some
kind
of
vote
by
the
by
the
body
right,
if
that's
where
he
and
I
think,
that's
a
simple
majority.
If
I'm
remembering
the
rules
correctly,
that's
correct!
So
if
you
would
like,
if
are
you,
and
that
requires
a
motion
in
a
second-
that's
right?
U
AD
I
served
on
the
on
the
charter
change
committee
when
we
came
up
with
these
rules
and
I
very
clearly
remember
we
put
in
section
18
and
made
a
clear
decision
that
the
appointments
to
commissions
should
be
by
the
full
body
and
so
section
18
reads
a
commission
or
council
appointment
under
the
city
charter
or
otherwise
must
be
approved
by
a
majority
of
the
city
council
or
the
city
council.
With
mayor
presiding.
We
did
not
put
the
language
in
there.
That
said
of
those
voting
and
present
at
the
time
that
we
created
this,
we
were.
AD
AP
That
would
have
been
my
opinion
as
well.
Were
it
not
for
the
provisions
in
rule
7
that
provide
that
for
appointments,
nominations
shall
be
accepted.
Excuse
me
says
when
one
candidate
for
an
office
receives
the
vote
of
a
majority
of
the
council
present
at
the
meeting.
That
candidate
is
declared
the
winner.
So
there's
a
question.
Rule
18
does
say
that
a
commission
or
council
appointment
under
the
city
charter
or
otherwise
must
be
approved
by
a
majority
of
the
city
council
or
the
city
council
with
mayor
presiding.
AP
So
the
question
becomes,
what
does
it
mean
a
majority
of
the
city
council?
Does
that
mean
the
entire
city
council?
Or
does
that
mean
the
council
present
if
it
weren't
for
the
the
very
specific
language
in
rule
7?
I
would
have
gone
to
robert's
rules
and
I
would
have
agreed
with
with
councillor
shannon
that
the
majority
of
the
city
council
means
the
entire
city
council,
but
because
we
have
this
very
specific
provision
in
rule
seven
that
says,
when
one
candidate
for
office
receives
a
vote
of
a
majority
of
the
council
present
at
the
meeting.
H
AP
U
AB
U
AP
AD
Either
way
it
can
make
it
easier
for
you.
I
will
withdraw
my
motion
recognizing
that
there's
a
clear
conflict
in
our
council
rules.
I
believe
that
the
language
that
is
being
referenced
here
is
older
language
that
failed
to
get
removed.
When
we
created
the
other
language
and
I
I'll
withdraw,
I
think
it
could
go
either
way.
Thank
you.
U
Okay,
thank
you
councillor.
Thank
you,
councillor,
shannon
with
the
appeal
withdrawn.
The
decision
stands,
congratulations
to
julia
randall
and
thank
you
to
both
candidates
for
their
your
interest
in
serving
the
city
and
with
that
the
city
council,
with
mayor
presiding,
is,
if
there's
no
objection
adjourned
at
1105
pm.
A

B

I
think
we
have
seen
that
there
are
a
myriad
of
better
ways
to
deal
with
mental
health
crises.
Don't
involve
armed
officers
responding
to
those
and
I'm
hopeful
that
we'll
have
the
crisis
response
team
up
and
running
sooner
rather
than
later.
I
think
the
weekends
incidents
highlight
the
need
for
that.
B
We
have
to
do
better
at
addressing
the
underlying
issues
that
we
have
in
our
society
and
unfortunately
we
haven't
done
that,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
working
with
other
members
of
the
council
to
make
progress
on
this
working
with
members
of
the
public
safety
committee
to
make
progress
on
this,
and
that's
all
I
have
this
evening.
Thank
you.
E
E
E
We
have
to
lean
into
projects
that
are
going
to
increase
our
sense
of
community
and
belonging.
We
have
to
invest
in
social
programs,
our
schools,
our
kids.
We
have
to
invest
in
opportunities
that
are
going
to
create
meaningful
community
connection
and
crisis
response,
increase
the
number
of
community
outreach
workers
and
also
provide
these
workers
with
the
support
that
they
need
to
respond
to
crises.
E
I
think
there's
hope.
I
think
that
if
any
city
can
come
together
and
learn
how
to
address
the
systemic
factors
behind
crime,
it's
us,
but
we
have
to
demand
that
de-escalation
and
I
mean
actual
de-escalation,
not
the
kind
that
ends
in
someone
suffering
with
the
mental
health
crises
being
shot
in
the
leg.
We
have
to
demand
that
that
becomes
our
only
way
forward.
AE
I
just
want
to
remind
us
all
that
next
week,
the
city
in
combination
with
united
way
and
a
whole
variety
of
service
providers
is
having
a
mental
health
summit,
and
I
hope
we
all
take
the
time
it's
hard
to
take
time
out
of
your
day.
But
we
ought
to
be
going.
It's
the
23rd
and
24th
from
noon
to
three
and
it's
online.
A
Thank
you,
councillor
carpenter,
that
was
the
idea
for
the
mental
health
summit
came
from
the
police
commission.
They
read,
they
wrote
the
resolution
which
they
passed
to
us
and
which
was
approved
unanimously
by
the
council
some
time
ago.
So
yes,
thank
you
so
much
for.
Thank
you
so
much
for
reminding
the
community
of
that
event.
C
We
are
a
few
months
away
from
that.
Finally,
coming
to
fruition,
so
I
saw
parks
director
cindy
white
here
earlier.
I
suspect,
they're
not
tuned
in
any
longer,
but
I
ran
into
project
coordinator
john
adams
kollitz
in
coming
into
city
hall
this
evening,
and
they
among
many
others,
are
owed
a
great
deal
of
credit
for
what
will
be,
I
think,
a
great
achievement
in
addition
to
our
park
system.
A
AD
AD
AD
The
burlington
housing
authority,
is
actually
encouraging
the
conversion
of
long-term
housing
units
to
short-term
housing
units
in
order
to
take
advantage
of
the
loophole
that
we
put
into
our
ordinance.
I
think
this
is
a
problem,
and
I
think
this
council
should
seriously
consider
addressing
this.
So
I
look
forward
to
working
with
any
of
you
who
don't
think
that
we
should
be
encouraging
landlords
who
will
have
long-term
units
to
convert
to
short-term
units,
which
seems
to
be
an
un
unintended
consequence
of
the
action
that
we
took.
AD
A
U
U
U
U
bill,
as
we
have
discussed
before
at
this
table,
was
a
real
giant
here
in
burlington,
a
community
leader
for
decades,
whose
accomplishments
included
really
the
conception
and
execution
of
the
church
team
marketplace
and
in
more
recent
times,
the
rebuilding
of
the
northern
waterfront.
As
the
chair
of
the
public
investment
action
plan
process,
that
has
resulted
in
so
much
of
the
millions
of
dollars
of
improvements
to
public
infrastructure
north
of
waterfront
park
in
recent
years
and
I'll
be
attending,
and
I
know
it'd
be
meaningful
to
family.
U
U
Event
that
I
wanted
to
invite
the
council
to,
and
public
too
is,
we
will
be
swearing
in
three
new
officers
at
the
burlington
police
department
this
this
friday.
This
is
the
most
significant
increase
in
officers
that
we've
had
in
the
last
two
and
a
half
years,
and
it
is
hopefully
the
beginning
of
the
rebuilding
efforts
that
we
have
worked
towards
achieving
together
through
recent
decisions.
