A
B
A
Probably
no,
actually
we
don't.
Oh,
we
don't
have
any
amendments,
okay,
so
anyway,
thank
you,
Kat!
Thank
you.
Councilor
McGee!
Is
there
a
second
to
that
motion
seconded
by
counselor
Hightower?
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
motion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion?
Please
say
aye
aye
and
any
opposed.
Please
say
no.
We
have
our
agenda.
I
just
wanted
to
also
note
that
we
have
counselor
carpent,
counselors,
Carpenter,
Freeman
and
Zhang,
who
are
joining
us
via
Zoom
thanks
so
much
for
thanks.
C
On
we
have
brought
two
representatives
from
the
company
Civic
plus
we
use
some
of
their
other
software,
specifically
Civic
Rec.
Here
in
the
city,
we
have
Maddie
Hansel,
Shield
wave
and
Stephen
French
they're,
going
to
give
a
quick
15,
maybe
20
minute
demo,
on
what
you
and
the
public
would
see
from
the
the
front
end
of
board
ducks
or
not
of
the
board.
Next
replacement
of
Civic
called
the
Civic
clerk.
Sorry
great.
D
E
E
Okay,
thank
you
well,
they're.
Looking
at
it
I'd
like
to
again
introduce
myself,
my
name
is
Steven
French
to
the
public
and
to
the
board
members
I'm,
a
Solutions
engineer
with
Civic
plus
but
prior
to
coming
to
Civic
plus
just
a
few
months
ago,
I
was
a
city
clerk
for
a
couple
of
towns
here
in
Michigan
and
Ohio
for
about
25
years.
E
I
have
it
thank
you
Scott,
to
give
you
a
an
overview
of
our
system.
What
I
thought
I
would
do
tonight
is
share
two
different
screens
with
you.
The
first
screen
is
a
existing
client
of
ours
and
I'd
like
to
show
you
what
your
residents
would
see
or
those
people
would
see
when
they
visited
your
website.
Looking
for
your
agendas
in
minutes,
this
is
a
an
existing
client
we
have
in
Missouri.
E
There
is
an
opportunity
at
the
top
of
this
screen
for
the
City
of
Burlington
to
enter
whatever
general
information.
You
want
your
citizens
to
have
regarding
these
agendas
and
minutes
following
that
information
is
really
the
embedded
part
of
Civic
clerk
which
will
allow
users
to
see
the
calendar
of
all
of
your
city.
Commission,
your
various
boards
and
commission
meetings.
E
E
For
a
past
meeting
what
I
wanted
to
show,
you
was
some
examples
of
this
particular
client
and
how
they
present
their
city
council.
Meeting
from
this
page,
your
residents
are
going
to
be
able
to
download
the
agenda,
the
agenda
packet
and
what
I
mean
by
agenda
pack.
It
is
the
agenda
with
all
of
the
staff
reports
supporting
documentation
things
like
that,
as
well
as
the
minutes.
Once
the
minutes
have
been
either
released
to
the
public
or
approved
by
the
border
Commission.
E
So
if,
for
example,
this
Resident
was
extremely
interested
on
the
invoices
that
were
paid
at
this
meeting
or
approved
at
this
meeting.
Not
only
could
they
View
and
listen
and
see
what
the
council
and
what
any
comments
were
made
at
the
meeting,
but
they
could
pull
up
that
invoice
listing
and
see
for
themselves
exactly
what
information
Council
had
been
provided
on
the
subject
they
could
also
containing
by
looking
at
draft
ordinances.
E
Maybe
the
draft
Personnel
policy
and
procedure
manual,
Maps
signed
agreements
again
everything
that
was
included
in
the
packet.
Your
residents
have
very
easy
to
understand
very
readily
available
agenda,
documentation
that
goes
along
with
our
video
residents
if
they
wanted
to
can
also
download
these.
E
Residents
also
have
the
ability
to
share
this
meeting
with
their
neighbors.
So
if
this
particular
meeting
was
of
some
interest
to
a
neighborhood
or
a
specific
person,
he
or
she
could
sign
in,
they
could
create
a
free
account
and
go
back
into
our
system,
email
that
to
a
friend
or
relative
or
a
neighbor,
and
really
improve
the
transparency
of
all
of
your
boards
and
commissions.
E
In
addition,
residents
can
sign
up
to
be
notified
anytime.
There
is
a
new
file
published
or
made
public
to
these
boards
and
commissions,
so
if
they
wanted
to
be
notified
via
email,
when
a
new
agenda
or
when
a
new
minutes
document
has
been
made
public,
they
would
receive
that
email
with
a
link
that
would
take
them
directly
to
that
particular
agenda
file.
C
It
there's
I
will,
let's
have
Stephen,
show
us
a
little
bit
about
the
search,
but
obviously
that
that
is
dependent
upon
how
much
of
the
data
we
move
over
in
speaking
with
Jordan
a
couple
days
ago.
We
would
be
looking
at
moving
at
least
everything.
That's
already
in
board.
Ducks
move
that
over
to
the
new
system,
so
we
would
have
several
years
that
you'd
be
able
to
search
back
through,
but
Stephen.
Can
you
show
a
little
bit
about
the
search
capabilities?
E
Sure
to
do
that
Scott
and
to
the
rest
of
the
board
members
I
would
like
to
show
you
a
different
view
of
another
one
of
our
clients.
This
client
is
Port.
Orange
and
I
show
you
this
because
they
have
our
website
and
they
use
Civic
clerk
for
their
agenda
management
system
using
their
website.
They
have
placed
their
search,
obviously
front
and
center
for
the
residents.
So
a
resident
could
not
only
come
to
their
website
and
search
for
specific
things
just
on
their
website.
E
E
E
C
F
Thank
you,
I
had
a
question
to
follow
up
on
the
the
search
capabilities.
Are
there
ways
you
can
restrict,
search
with
additional
qualifiers,
like
date
ranges
or
I'm
thinking
about
things
like
like
the
way
you
can
search,
Google
Mail,
which
is
very
rich
and
the
the
methods
you
can
use
to
search
it?
Or
is
it
just
simply
using
a
search
phrase
and
the
categories
that
I
saw
the
radio
buttons
for.
E
C
As
we've
been
playing
with
different
sites,
Port
Orange
is
one
in
Creve,
Coeur
Missouri,
there's
few
others
out.
There
we've
been
very
impressed
with
what
we've
been
able
to
do
from
a
search
perspective
and
drill
down
into
much
deeper
than
where
we
can
today
in
the
current
system.
So
we've
we've
been
pleased
with
what
we've
seen
so
far.
No.
F
Thank
you
yeah.
That's
definitely
one
of
the
areas
that
I
struggle
with
with
board
docs
is
I'll
search
on
something
and
I'll
get
a
150
hits
that
you
know.
140
of
them
are
things
that
seem
to
be
irrelevant
to
what
I'm
searching
on
so
any
anything
we
can
do
to
improve.
That
would
be
helpful.
The
other
area
that
I
was
really
keenly
interested
in
knowing
more
about
was
many
of
us
are
trying
to
conduct
business
from
our
phones
and
boardox
is
not
a
responsive.
F
E
The
best
I
can
show
you
here
is
that
this
would
be
something
similar
to
an
iPad
size.
We
we,
we
often
tell
our
clients
that,
yes,
it
will
work
on
your
iPhone.
But
again
it's
very.
Your
iPhone
is
very
small
compared
to
a
laptop
and
it
is
useful,
but
it
would
be
extremely
difficult
to
go
through
an
entire
meeting
looking
at
the
packet
solely
on
that
small
of
a
screen.
A
Thank
you,
so
the
the
two
questions
I
had
I
mean
one
of
the
things
you've
already
answered,
which
is
that
you've
already
answered
is
the
the
issue
of
being
able
to
for
for,
and
we
get
a
notification
on
board
docs
when
it
goes
live,
but
I
don't
think
others
can
do
that.
So
that
would
be
something
I
mean
I,
remember
being
able
to
literally
put
in,
and
you
would
be
able
to
say
which
commissions
you
wanted.
You
know,
and
you
would
literally
get
those
notifications
if
we
can
go
back
to
that.
A
Know
what
you're
interested
in
doing
yep
and
then
the
other
thing
also
is:
when
you
do
the
search.
Not
only
do
you
get
a
ton
of
responses,
but
you
get
them
in
this.
What
appears
to
be
a
random
order?
There's
like
no
Rhyme
or
Reason
to
it.
Would
they
be
in
the
order
of
most
recent
or
can
you
can
you
sort
of
doctor
that
so
that
you're
not
getting
literally
like
everything
since
2013-
and
those
are
my
only
questions
thanks.
E
E
C
G
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
not
necessarily
a
thing
and
then
I
think
this
is
more
just
a
I
guess,
I'm
saying
I
I,
don't
know
what
the
decision
factor
is
for
the
switch
we're
making
but
I'm
just
trusting
you
to
make
the
decision
and
giving
you
some
feedback
as
to
how
much
different
this
is
for
me
than
board
docs
and
then
I.
Think
one
of
the
other
things
is
I.
Think
could
just
be
a
policy
thing
for
us,
which
is
the
word
documents.
G
C
Right
there,
there
are
certainly
things
with
any
system
that
we'll
have
to
look
at
from
a
policy
and
procedure
perspective.
That's
certainly
a
great
piece
of
feedback
that
a
lot
of
people
don't
have
word.
If
we
can
make
everything
accessible
to
everybody,
that's
the
way
to
go.
I
do
know
in
terms
of
your
first
question,
I
think
Steven's
going
to
show
you
from
an
agenda
how
you
could
go
into
an
agenda
and
just
download
certain
aspects
of
what
you
want
to
look
at,
so
you
don't
have
to
have
the
entire
packet
all
at
once.
G
C
G
A
H
No
problem,
thank
you
Scott
for
being
here.
Thank
you,
Stefan
and
Maddie.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here.
So
I
think
my
question.
One
of
my
questions.
Sorry
I
just
asked
about
it
and
was
just
wondering
if
people
can
view
the
document
without
downloading
them
for
capacity
storage
of
their
computers.
Is
that
possible.
E
H
Wonderful,
thank
you,
and
the
second
question
is
about
the
media.
How
do
you
call
it
media
peace?
There
is
this
media
meeting
media
and
those
who
are
currently
using
this
logistic
or
do
they
have
their
own
media
person
who
takes
care
of
it
because
Burlington
we
have
like
a
partnership
with
an
entity.
That's
outside
Etc,
so
I
was
just
wondering
how
what's
a
dynamic
there.
I
A
C
Haven't
done
any
tutorials,
yet
we've
done
a
few
other
demos
we've
had
other
people,
Lori
and
Muhammad
have
both
been
demo
with
the
system.
The
feedback
we've
gotten
so
far
is
pretty
Universal
that
it
is
from
back
to
front
considerably
more
robust,
more
feature,
Rich
and
and
I
guess
in
some
ways,
maybe
more
you
can
call
it
more
modern
than
what
we're
using
today.
It's
going
to
give
a
lot
of
the
features
that
we're
all
looking
for.
C
I
would
say
that
with
any
piece
of
software,
there's
going
to
be
something
that
isn't
there
so
I'm
sure
that
down
the
road
we'll
find
something
that
oh,
we
wish
we
had
that,
regardless
of
which
system,
but
right
now
the
ones
of
the
ones
we're
looking
at.
This
is
the
one
with
the
best
match
for
everything
that
you
all
have
expressed
as
being
concerns
and
meets
the
meet.
Some
needs
from
an
accessibility
and
Equity
perspective
in
terms
of
ADA
and
WK.
A
The
only
other
question
that
I
would
have
and
I
I
should
have
asked
this
a
long
time
ago.
Is
you
know
the
School
Burlington
BD,
the
the
Burlington
school
department
does
use
the
same.
They
use
board
docs
as
well.
So
have
you
been
in
touch
with
them
and
had
given
them
an
opportunity?
To
perhaps
I
mean
there.
C
C
Burlington
School
District,
yeah
I
have
not
talked
to
them
yet
because
we
wanted
to
find
out
the
tool
we
use
is
actually
built
specifically
for
school
boards
on
board
docs.
There
are
other
aspects
of
diligent
which
is
the
company
that
pretty
board
docs,
that
there
are
others
that
would
probably
be
more
appropriate
in
our
city,
council
and
Boards
the
commission
side.
But
at
this
point
they
have
never
gotten
back
to
us.
C
Multiple
phone
calls
multiple
emails,
I'm
reaching
out
for
their
sales
team
and-
and
they
haven't
responded
at
all,
so
my
last
resort
would
be
to
talk
with
the
school
and
to
see
if
we
have
a
contact
there
that
we
could
reach
out
to.
But
right
now
I
would
say
that
of
the
ones
we've
looked
at.
The
one
you
saw
tonight
was
probably
leading
the
pack
in
terms
of
our
evaluation.
A
C
Haven't
gone
into
a
lot
of
depth
on
that
other
than
to
know
that
we
can
do
it,
it
would
be
a
piece
that
we
would
work
out
as
we're
talking
about
contracts
and
timing
and
everything
else
in
terms
of
what
it
would
take.
I,
don't
anticipate
it
being
huge
based
on
the
conversations
we've
had
thus
far,
but
we'll
have
more
details
as
we
get
farther
along
the
path
foreign.
A
C
From
my
perspective,
no
I
think
from
here
we
finalized
some
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
for
get.
Some
of
the
questions
that
came
up
tonight
answered
like
Stephen,
said
he
was
going
to
get
us
some
information
and
then
decide
whether
or
not
at
that
point
do
we
have
enough
information
to
make
a
intelligent
decision,
or
do
we
keep
looking.
C
That's
a
great
question:
I
would
I
would
defer
to
them
on
that.
I
would
say
that
it
may
be
a
lot
of
work
to
get
to
a
three-month
trial
to
get
to
bring
everything
in
and
and
to
get
it
set
up.
It
may
be
something
that
we
want
to
want
to
talk
to
them
about,
but
I'm
not
100
sure
how
feasible
it
would
be.
D
D
M
You
can
okay,
sorry,
I,
wasn't
sure
thanks
I
just
had
a
quick
question,
which
was
that
I
heard
you
mentioning
Port,
Orange,
I,
think
Florida.
Is
it
and
then
I
just
wanted
to?
There
was
another
town
or
two
that
you
mentioned
and
I
was
just
gonna
check
it
out,
because
I
was
curious
to
see
but
I
couldn't
remember
which
one
it
was.
C
M
A
A
A
So
much
we
will
move
on
to
item
number
three,
which
is
an
update
on
the
status
of
the
crisis,
response
team
and
a
general
overview
of
policing
Innovations
for
this
item.
We
have
with
us
acting
Chief
John
Murad.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
with
us
and
thank
you
as
well
for
sending
along
the
information
in
advance.
So
we
had
a
chance
to
look
at
it
just
for
everyone's
benefit.
We've
allotted
a
half
an
hour
for
this.
A
O
P
We
go.
Thank
you
sorry
about
that.
Thank
you
very
much,
president
Paul,
for
having
me
thank
you
to
the
entire
Council
for
inviting
me
and
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
share
this
information,
both
about
what
we've
done
with
regard
to
the
crisis
team
and
what
we
have
been
able
to
do
on
a
number
of
innovative
fronts
with
the
police
department.
P
P
So
as
that's
working,
I'll,
I'll
say
that
we're
going
to
build
on
many
of
the
things
that
we
shared
with
you
during
the
process
of
the
budget.
Obviously
mayor
Weinberger
and
the
council
worked
together
tremendously
well
in
order
to
get
us
a
very
strong
budget
that
I'm
hopeful
is
going
to
give
us
Avenues
of
rebuilding
we're
already
doing
some
of
that
rebuilding
and
I'm
hopeful
that
this
presentation
can
demonstrate.
Some
of
that.
P
So
the
first
slide
is
building
capacity,
as
you
know,
in
in
first
December
and
then
January
and
then
again
in
February
of
2021.
We
presented
to
the
city
council,
a
public
safety
continuity
plan
and
in
that
public
safety
continuity
plan.
We
talked
about
the
creation
of
the
community
support
liaison
position,
a
social
work
position
that
works
on
Mental,
Health,
on
substance,
use
disorder
and
on
and
houselessness
issues,
and
we
expanded
drastically
our
community
service
officer
or
CSO
position,
and
this
gives
you
some
data
on
that.
P
You
in
the
budget
for
this
fiscal
year
authorized
us
to
go
up
to
12
csos.
We
currently
have
seven.
You
authorized
us
to
have
a
total
of
six
CSL.
We
currently
have
two.
We
just
lost
one
to
an
executive
level
position
in
Essex
Junction,
but
we
do
have
others
in
the
pipeline
and
are
actually
very
close
to
bringing
some
of
those
aboard
among
our
csos.
We
have
been
able
to
hire
members
of
our
new
American
Community
from
here
in
Burlington.
That's
something
that
this
department
has
wanted
to
do
for
quite
some
time.
P
The
CSO
role
is
one
that
has
already
given
us.
Two
of
our
current
excuse
me,
one
of
our
current
Academy
recruits
is
a
former
CSO.
We
hope
to
send
two
additional
csos
to
the
police
academy
that
will
begin
in
August
and
excuse
me
in
February,
and
so
this
is
an
Avenue
for
us
for
expansion
in
a
number
of
fronts.
P
The
next
is,
is
our
total
incident
volume.
As
you
see,
the
thick
black
line
is
2022
that
shows
year-to-date
through
mid-october,
the
distance
between
2022
and
2021
and
2020.
This
year
has
finally
has
surpassed.
Those
two
years
has
actually
expanded
since
October
15th
and
now
in
the
middle
of
November,
it's
a
little
bit
higher
than
that.
I
would
have
produced
a
more
up-to-date
chart,
but
our
data
analyst
is
has
had
a
wonderful
new
addition
to
her
family
and
is
not
around
to
help
me.
Do
this
work
next,
please.
P
This
is
an
indication
of
how
those
rebuilding
efforts
we're
working
on,
have
had
have
had
an
impact.
The
csos
and
the
csls
are
both
picking
up
calls
for
service
in
different
ways.
Frankly,
the
calls
for
service
to
which
csls
go
are
not
really
calls
for
service
that
we
necessarily
would
have
had
before.
They
are
often
follow-up
calls.
They
are
additional
work,
but
they
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
being
able
to
replace
work
that
was
done
by
officers.
The
same
cannot
be
said
for
the
csos.
P
The
work
that
you
see
there
for
the
csos
is
a
replacement
of
certain
work
that
we
no
longer
send
officers
to,
and
that
is
a
component
of
our
priority
response
model.
We
first
introduced
that
in
May
of
2021,
we
had
to
modify
it
and
update
it
in
May
of
2022
and
as
a
result,
there
are
a
number
of
calls
for
service
to
which
we
do
not
send
police
officers.
We
only
send
csos.
Those
are
all
priority.
Three
calls
for
service.
P
The
other
component
of
that
priority
response
model
is
that
we
sometimes
stack
certain
calls
for
service.
If
we
do
not
have
sufficient
resources
to
respond
to
a
call,
we
will
stack
it.
We
stack
between
15
and
16
percent
of
the
time.
We
also
drastically
expanded
the
number
of
calls
that
we
automatically
refer
to
online
reporting
and
we
take
online
reports
about
10
percent
of
the
time.
P
So,
even
as
we
are
building
up
some
capacity
here
that
you
see
and
expanding
up
to
you
know
the
25
percent
and
Beyond
zone
for
the
new
resources
that
we've
built
There
are
16,
plus
10
percent
of
calls
that
are
not
being
handled
in
some
way
either
because
they
are
stacked
and
they're.
The
handling
is,
is
delayed
or
because
they
are
going
to
online
reporting.
P
We
are
working
our
way
through
a
very
large
stack
of
online
reports,
I'm
certain
that
each
of
you
has
heard
from
constituents
frustrations
and
how
long
that
takes.
It
is
taking
time
we
have
hired
what
we
call
Reserve
office
officers
and
former
employees
of
the
police
department,
some
retirees
some
who
have
left
us
prior
to
retirement
and
we
are
using
them
to
work
through
those
online
reports
to
determine
which
ones
have
solvability
factors
and
which
one
we
can
follow
up
on
and
which
ones
we
can
try
to
dig
into
more
deeply.
P
But
many
of
them
do
not
have
solvability
factors,
and
they
really
are
simply
going
to
be
reports
that
are
taken
for
record-keeping
purposes,
insurance
profitably
purposes.
Etc.
That
said,
I
do
think
that
this
slide
here
is
something
that
shows.
You
know
the
impact
of
these
new
roles
that
we've
developed
as
part
of
the
public
safety
continuity
plan.
P
The
next
page,
please,
these
two
boxes
give
a
sense
of
of
how
often
what
the
roles,
the
the
calls
for
service
each
role
is
going
to
are
you'll,
see
that
the
the
reddish
pink
is
our
Priority
One,
and
both
of
these
roles
go
to
very.
Very
few
Priority
One
calls,
in
fact,
if
they
are
at
it,
it
is
almost
always
in
a
follow-up
or
ancillary
role.
P
So,
for
example,
a
CSL,
the
community
support
liaison
mental
health
workers,
do
go
to
overdoses,
that's
the
largest
component
of
the
priority
one,
but
they
go
as
a
follow-up.
They
are
not
the
ones
delivering
Narcan.
They
are
not
the
ones
who
are
first
on
scene,
assisting
with
a
recovery.
What
they
are
there
for
is
to
do
follow-up
to
say:
hey,
do
you
want
additional
assistance?
Would
you
like
to
talk
to
us?
P
If,
if
you
could
read
it
you'd
see
that,
for
example,
some
of
the
ones
that
the
csos
go
to
involve
different
kinds
of
traffic
issues,
for
example
an
obstructed
roadway
and
they
also
sometimes
are
at
the
scene
of
incidents.
So
this
is
not
merely
incidents
to
which
these
roles
are
responding
as
primaries.
These
are
the
rules
to
which
they
are
responding
at
all.
P
Each
of
these
shooting
scenes
and
homicide
scenes
that
we
worked
over
this
summer
would
have
had
csos
at
those
scenes
assisting
with
exterior
scene
security,
but
they
are
not
going
to
be
on
the
interior,
doing
evidence,
collection
they're,
certainly
not
going
to
be
part
of
an
apprehension
Etc.
Next,
please.
P
And
this
is
a
picture
of
those
Priority
One
incidents,
so
the
the
tiny
portion
of
red
that
was
in
the
CSO
and
CSL
boxes.
This
is
the
the
world
of
priority
ones.
Priority
ones
this
year
are
higher
than
they
have
been.
In
fact,
September
was
the
highest
year
ever
since
we've
been
keeping
track
of
data
through
our
valve
core
system.
P
So
we
are
seeing
a
change
in
that
and
then
the
last
page
is
our
sworn
officer
count.
We
we
currently
have
62,
of
whom
eight
are
not
available.
That's
an
improvement.
We've
actually
gotten
a
couple
officers
back
from
long-term
military
deployment.
That's
a
positive!
We
had
an
officer
who
had
left
us
return.
I,
think
that
that
officer
discovered
that
perhaps
the
grass
was
not
greener
in
other
locations.
P
I
think
that
officer
wanted
to
serve
a
city
in
which
he
had
grown
up
and
that
he
loved
that
his
his
family
had
served
and
I
think
that
he
recognized
in
in
other
locations
that
that
connection
wasn't
there
and
I'm
very
glad
to
have
that
officer
back.
We
have
another
officer
who
also
similarly
is
is
thinking
of
returning
to
us.
That's
great.
P
So
if
we're
a
little
bit
above
that,
then
that's
great
I
am
confident
that
we
are
going
to
have
a
significant
cohort
going
to
the
first
Academy
of
2023,
which
will
take
place.
It's
anticipated
to
take
place
in
February
of
2023
I'm
hopeful
to
have
five,
possibly
six
in
that
our
our
projections
required
that
we
be
bringing
six
into
each
Academy
class
and
bringing
in
three
laterals.
P
P
She
is
really
terrific
and
she's
bringing
a
new
energy
to
it
and
a
new
way
of
looking
at
the
role
she
is
really
digging
into
this
and
I
think
is
bringing
to
it
a
new
enthusiasm.
We
are
still
working,
however,
on
hiring
a
lot
of
positions.
So
so
it's
not
just
these
sworn
officers,
and
even
though
this
ends
the
presentation,
It
Is
by
no
means
the
only
component
of
what
we're
doing
our
dispatch
is
drastically
currently
understaffed.
P
Although
we
just
brought
aboard
one
new
member,
our
csls,
as
I
said,
are
down
from
what
you
have
allocated
to
us
and
we
want
to
build
up
to
that
full
capacity
and
our
csos
are
down
as
well.
We
are
working
to
make
these
hiring
possible.
Excuse
me,
make
hiring
possible.
I
was
in
Dallas
Texas
for
the
International
Association
of
chiefs
of
police
meeting
last
month.
P
This
is
a
problem
that
is
facing
the
entirety
of
the
profession
and
certainly
for
anyone
here
who
is
in
other
professions,
I'm
certain
that
you're
seeing
it
as
well,
because
it
appears
to
be
sort
of
a
universal.
Where
did
everyone
go
with
regard
to
the
working
population?
We
are
we're
seeing
a
real
challenge
there
across
a
bunch
of
sectors.
Our
job
is
to
try
to
move
through
that,
and
you
certainly
have
given
us
the
tools
to
do
that.
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
continue
to
make
progress
on
it.
P
P
P
The
respondents
to
those
were
a
little
bit
out
of
line
with
our
cost
expectations.
The
state
may
be
able
to
help
fill
that
Gap
and
we
we
submitted
that
last
week
and
are
hopeful
to
hear
results
from
it.
That's
something
that
the
mayor
was
was
very,
you
know,
enthusiastic
about
made
certain
that
we
worked
on,
that
we
brought
a
board
a
facilitator
or
implementer
to
help
us
do
that.
A
G
Just
a
question
on
the
dispatch
situation
specifically
and
where
that
is,
and
what's
happening
with
regionalization
and
how
what
we're
doing
in
the
interim
and
then,
if
there's
something
we
can
do
to
guarantee
folks
future
positions
so
that
we're
not
that
they're
not
facing
job
security.
Just
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
that
issue
specifically
sure.
J
I've
been
doing
a
fair
amount
of
work
on
regionalization
and
can
provide
some
further
update
there.
If
that's,
okay,
the
the
first
of
all
I,
want
to
say
that
the
fire
department
has
stepped
up
in
recent
weeks
to
assist
the
police
department
with
the
challenges
that
we're
facing
and
they
are
supplementing
through
largely
through
our
new
recruits,
currently
are
being
kind
of
trained
on
how
to
do
the
dispatch
system
and
they
are
taking
over
the
dispatching
of
of
the
fire
response.
J
We're
likely
to
be
coming
to
the
council
in
the
coming
months
with
a
new
collaboration
with
South
Burlington,
where,
as
a
step
towards
regionalization,
we
would
have
fire
dispatch
being
done
by
by
South
Burlington,
which
is
going
to
be
where
the
location,
physical
location
of
the
regional
effort
will
be,
and
hopefully-
and
there
is
some
uncertainty
about
this.
But
it
I
believe
we
will
see
this
new
Regional
entity
which
does
exist
because
Burlington
voters
and
voters
from
I
believe
six.
J
Other
municipalities
voted
to
create
this
new
Regional
Authority
that
there
is
a
board
for
that
Authority
with
Burlington
having
representation
on
it,
I
believe
that
that
board
will
be
moving
in
a
very
short
period
of
time
to
start
construction
on
the
new
Regional
facility
and
to
hire
an
executive
director.
This
is
a
key
moment
for
that
effort.
It
has
been
more
than
four
years
now
since
voters
supported
this.
J
Certainly,
the
timeline
for
this
project
was
impacted
by
the
the
pandemic,
but
it
from
my
perspective
this
either
needs
now
to
happen
and
happen
quickly
or
we
need
to
reevaluate
whether
this
makes
sense
for
Burlington
long
term,
so
I
hope
that's
a
helpful,
quick
update.
There
will
be
further
discussion
of
this
shortly.
G
Great
and
then
my
second
question
is
maybe
as
much
of
a
comment
as
a
question
which
is
around
the
csls,
which
I
think
the
hiring
has
been
much
slower
than
we
would
hope
to
see.
I
think
that
there's
a
significant,
maybe
not
significant,
I,
think
there's
a
section
of
the
applicant
pool
that
would
maybe
be
more
comfortable
I
think
we're
already
having
a
hard
time
hiring
for
positions
across
the
city.
G
Maybe
that's
especially
true
at
BPD
and
to
the
extent
that
we're
having
a
harder
time
hiring
for
positions
within
BPD,
maybe
than
the
CJC
reallocating
some
of
those
positions
within
the
CJC
and
then
having
still
that
collaboration
with
the
Burlington
Police
Department.
If
that's
something
that
would
be
helpful,
I
think
we
should
consider
pursuing
that.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
president
Paul.
Thank
you.
Acting
Chief
Murad
for
the
presentation.
I
would
have
like
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
kind
of
what
we're
seeing
the
timeline
being
for
the
implementation
of
the
crisis
response
team,
given
that
this
has
been
a
conversation
that
has
been
going
on
for
close
to
a
decade
in
this
community
and
more
more
closely
in
the
city
here
for
the
past
two
years,
and
that
our
own
budget
resolution
called
for
Action
to
be
taken
on
this
item
by
October
31st
I.
B
Think
further
delay
on
this
item
is
on.
Implementing
this
program.
Excuse
me
is
is
sad
and
unfortunate
that
our
community
continues
to
lack
this
much
needed
tool
in
our
tool
belt
in
terms
of
our
Public
Safety
responses.
So
I
appreciate
that
we've
brought
somebody
else
on
to
help
with
the
implementation
of
that
you
know,
I
think.
B
F
No
thank
you,
president
Paul,
and
thank
you
Chief
Murad,
I,
guess
to
follow
up
on
councilor
McGee's
question
in
the
mental
health
Summit.
We
heard
that
there's
many
times
that
we
need
an
a
sworn
armed
officer
to
accompany
some
of
the
responses,
depending
on
the
state
of
the
individual.
That's
being
responded
to.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
ability
to
to
have
this
sort
of
reformed
crisis
response
when
we
have
a
shortage
of
sworn
officers.
P
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
it
has
taken
more
time
than
we
would
have
liked.
I
think
that
we
have,
although
it's
something
that
the
city
has
been
discussing,
as
you
pointed
out,
counselor
for
for
a
decade
plus
to
make
progress
on
it
in
the
past
year,
and
a
half
has
actually
been
an
acceleration
of
that
process.
P
I
do
think,
however,
we
had
a
a
long
summer
with
a
lot
of
other
things
happening.
That
frankly
did
take
away
some
of
my
focus
on
this
project
and
I
I
I
do
apologize
for
that,
although
it
was
a
matter
of
of
resources
bringing
in
Jackie
corbally
as
a
way
of
addressing
that.
So
there
are
a
number
of
things
that
we
would
like
to
be
able
to
do
moving
forward
of.
P
Ultimately,
my
my
goal
is
ultimately
to
have
a
co-response
capacity
and
to
have
that
through
what
we
call
Cape
inside
the
police,
department
and
Cape
is
a
crisis
assessment
and
intervention
programs
and
includes
the
csls
it
includes
our
victims
advocate
who
is
a
co-employee
of
ceto
but
sits
in
the
Burlington
Police
Department
often
it
includes
our
domestic
violence.
Victims
advocate.
It
includes
our
domestic
violence
prevention
officer,
who
is
the
only
current
sworn
officer
in
Cape.
P
Ironically,
the
person
who
was
in
that
role
is
now
our
recruiting
officer.
Carolyn
Irwin
had
been
our
Community
Affairs
officer
for
quite
some
time
after
having
been
the
recruiting
officer
some
time
ago,
she
did
work
on
Meals
on
Wheels.
She
did
work
with
graffiti.
She
was
a
central
location
for
gramini
graffiti
Remediation
in
the
city
and
losing
that
position
was
was
a
blow
to
our
ability
to
to
Really
effectively
have
community
policing.
Ultimately,
I
would
like
to
have
that
back.
P
It's
not
something.
That's
really
carved
out
in
the
the
diagram
of
Staffing
and
headcount
that
the
CNA
report
envisions,
but
it
is
something
that
ultimately
I
believe
is,
is
necessary
and
is
a
a
good
idea
as
a
best
practice.
It
was
talked
about
a
lot
again
at
that
Dallas
conference
with
the
iacp,
because
there
are
a
number
of
these
kinds
of
calls
for
service
to
which
people
will
not
go
unless
there
are
officers
we're
hearing
that
anecdotally,
increasingly
from
Street
Outreach.
P
We
are
hearing
that
in
in
other
locales
as
well,
including
other
cities
that
have
stood
up
new
resources
around
mental
health
and
Crisis
Intervention
places
where
you
know
we're
buying
body
armor
and
things.
Not
we
not
this
city,
but
other
places
where
they're
buying
body
armor
for
people
in
these
roles.
P
There
is
a
need
for
security
at
those
and
being
able
to
have
officers
who
are
routinely
working
in
that
environment
with
those
personnel
and
pick
up
a
lot
of
the
ethos
as
well.
Well
as
the
some
of
the
training
would
be
the
real
goal
and
ultimately
I
think
a
gold
standard,
but
it's
a
ways
off,
because
that
really
does
require
at
least
us
getting
to
that
87
current
allotment.
F
P
Question
so
you
know
with
our
current
Staffing,
we
have
22
officers
nons,
that
is
non-supervisory
officers
who
are
on
patrol
and
on
most
days
that
means
that
there
are
three
to
four
officers
for
the
city.
When
I
have
four
officers
available,
we
do
have
two
officers
in
the
CCA
or
city
center
area
today,
because
it
was
a
Monday
which
is
an
overlap
day
between
the
two
10
hour
shifts.
P
P
Animal
complaints,
for
example
in
the
CCA
animal
complaints,
tend
to
be
in
other
parts
of
the
city
and
that
will
pull
them
away
and
then
they'll
have
to
deal
with
that
and
then
finish
up
that
call
for
service,
whether
it's
easily
remediable
or
whether
it's
something
that
takes
longer
or
maybe
even
takes
an
animal
into
custody.
And
now
there's
all
sorts
of
things
and
now
that
that
CSO
is
not
in
the
CSA
and
in
the
CCA
any
longer.
So
that's
that's
our
challenge.
P
F
P
Sort
of
feelers
to
other
agencies.
There
is
no
real
desire
for
it
in
other
agencies.
What
we've
seen
here
in
Burlington
with
the
VSP,
the
Vermont
State
Police,
as
you
know,
that
contract
was
nominally
worth
upwards
of
60
something
thousand
dollars.
If
every
single
shift
had
been
taken
with
the
full
number
of
officers,
Troopers
excuse
me
and
the
full
number
of
hours.
Instead,
we
spent
just
over
four
thousand.
So
so
that's
indicative
of
the
the
sort
of
frequency
with
which
they
are
volunteering.
P
To
sign
up
for
this
detail,
anything
is
helpful
to
us
and
we
are
grateful
to
the
Vermont
State
Police
for
anything
they
can
give
us.
We
are
experiencing
huge
amounts
of
cooperation
on
other
fronts,
not
merely
Troopers
volunteering,
to
come
and
stand
at
church
and
Maine,
but
other
you
know
components
we
are
working
with
them
in
a
number
of
investigator
investigatory
ways.
P
A
Q
Thank
you,
president
Paul,
and
thank
you.
Councilor
Travers
I
wanted
to
ask
you
about
the
the
incidents
and
how
those
are
calculated,
if,
because
I
know
that
a
lot
of
incidents
as
you
as
you
acknowledge
they're
kind
of
deferred
to
online
reporting.
So
if
I
call
up
the
dispatcher
I
think
that
things
that
are
not
like
going
to
be
imminently
responded
to
are
often
deferred.
So,
if
I
call
up
with
my
bike
was
stolen,
my
house
was
broken
into
and
there's
nobody
currently
there,
a
dog
off
leash.
Q
P
And
and
those
incidents
that
you
just
mentioned,
I,
don't
know
that
all
of
those
are
online
I.
Think
several
of
those
are
stacked
calls
an
injury
from
an
animal
would
be
a
CSO.
So
we
know
we
don't
stack
CSO
calls
unless
all
of
the
csos
on
staff
are
otherwise
engaged,
but
it's
a
different
stacking
system
than
it
is
with
officers.
Officer
stacking
is
predicated
on
making
certain
that
we
have
at
least
two
officers
available
for
emergency
Priority
One
calls
and
therefore
you
could
have
a
stacked
call.
P
The
the
burglary
would
be
stacked
and
we'd
want
an
officer
response.
The
bike
might
very
well
be
online
report,
that's
a
property
crime,
a
larceny,
and
you
would
be
asked
to
make
that
an
online
report
if
you
did
not
or
if
you
ran
into
challenges
with
it
or
frustrations
with
it
and
I
know.
That
is
a
real
problem.
No,
that
does
not
become
an
incident
that
we
track.
Q
I
think
I
have
been
told
that
that
there
have
been
burglaries
that
have
not
I,
don't
know,
if
maybe
they
got
an
initial
response,
but
it's
hard
to
get
a
police
report.
That's
needed
for
the
insurance.
Is
that,
because
is,
is
that
because
of
the
online
reporting
and
just
having
to
work
through
that
or
just
the
in
addition
to
coming
and
seeing
what
happened,
then,
the
report
is
going
to
take
longer
to
generate
the.
P
P
That
becomes
an
incident
immediately
because
the
the
dispatcher
takes
it
in
reserves,
an
incident
number
for
it
and
immediately
begins
sending
resources
to
it.
On
the
other
hand,
if
you
have
a
call
for
service
that
is
not
taken
as
a
stacked
call,
but
is
instead
referred
to
online
reporting
and
then
the
caller
does
in
fact
go
and
complete
the
online
process.
The
incident
number
is
not
going
to
be
assigned
at
that
moment
because
it
has
to
be
vetted
by
a
person
that
vetting
usually
takes
place
within
24
hours,
but
sometimes
on
weekends.
P
P
Even
if
it's
not
it
still
does
become
an
incident
and
gets
generated.
It
turns
into
something
that
we've
got
as
I
mentioned.
10
percent
of
our
current
calls
for
service.
Our
total
incident
volume
10
are
online
reports
and
that's
because
each
one
of
them
did
in
fact
get
a
number
and
then
ended
up
in
our
count
of
incidents
and.
Q
P
Correct
so
I
mean
the
colloquial
thing
that
an
officer
is
going
to
say
is
dispatch
punch
me
a
card
I'm
at
the
corner
of
church
in
Maine
with
1010
a
disturbance
of
some
sort,
and
it
used
to
be
that
these
were
literal
cards,
that
dispatch
actually
had
to
punch
and
sort
of
and
work
on,
and
so
the
the
lingo
remains
with
us.
Even
though
there's
nothing
to
do
with
paper
anymore,
but
the
officer
says
punch
me
a
card
at
that
point.
Dispatch
does
so
gives
it.
P
The
next
number
in
the
queue,
assigns
it
and
then
waits
for
the
officer
to
fill
out
a
lot
of
the
material
in
there.
The
officer
May
then
say
if
if
he
or
she
recognizes
the
participants,
you
know
it's
it's
Joe,
Smith
and
and
Peter
Jones
again,
and
then
they
go
through,
but
that's
how
it
works.
Sorry,
okay,
thanks.
I
O
O
Q
Is
so
so
when
we
have
less
than
half
the
patrol
officers
that
we
had
when
we
were
fully
staffed,
and
these
kind
of
interventions
happen
less,
we
will
have
fewer
reported
incidents
because
the
police
officers
are
not
reporting
them
because
they're
going
to
the
calls
that
have
come
in
and
they
don't
have
they're,
just
not
less
patrols
is
going
to
generate
fewer
incidents.
Do
we
have
any
way
to
measure
what
was
being
reported
in
this
way
when
we
were
fully
staffed
and
in
comparison
with?
What's
getting
reported
in
that
way?
Now.
P
Yes,
my
most
the
easiest
and
most
General
proxy
I
have,
for
that
is
aggregated
traffic
stops
and
foot
patrols,
so
those
are
always
discretionary,
a
proactive
officer
activity
not
always.
There
are
instances
in
which
the
public
says.
There's
a
car
driving
very
fast
down,
Main
Street
somebody
go,
get
it
or
address
it,
but
the
vast
majority
of
traffic
stops
were
officer,
initiated
and
proactive.
P
It
was
largely
driven
more
than
half
by
changes
in
officer
proactivity
that
we
asked
for
long
before
any
memos
or
any
changes
in
posture
for,
for
example,
from
the
state's
attorney.
We
asked
for
fewer
traffic
stops
from
the
officers
and
we
drove
down
those
numbers
ourselves
voluntarily
purposefully
for
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
but
that
is
indicative
of
a
significant
change.
I,
don't
really
have
a
way
of
parsing
out
which,
for
example,
you
know,
assaults
or
ten
tens
or
disturbances
on
Church
Street
were
proactive,
rather
than
than
calls
for
service.
P
P
Q
The
vast
changes
in
policing
income
can
lead
you
to
believe
that
there
are
far
fewer
incidents
than
there
really
are,
because
because
it's
harder
to
re,
it's
harder
for
the
public
to
report
incidents
than
it
used
to
be
the
police
are
not
reporting
incidents
that
they
used
to
and
I
think
that
there's
a
culture
and
desire
to
report
fewer
incidents,
and
it
doesn't
necessarily
mean
it's
not
a
picture
of
the
activity
on
the
ground.
But
thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
A
Thanks
counselor
Shannon,
we
have
counselor
Traverse
and
then
councilor
Freeman.
We
do
need
to
try
to
get
the
other
agenda
item
in
before
public
forum,
so
Chief
as
much
as
I
know.
This
is
phenomenally
fascinating
to
you.
If
you
could
just
keep
your
answers
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
more
succinct,
that'd
be
great.
Absolutely
thank
you.
L
Thanks
president
Paul
and
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation,
Chief
I
have
a
couple
questions
packaged
together,
just
looking
for
additional
information
on
your
recruitment
efforts.
Thus
far
so
don't
feel
like
you
need
to
answer
each
of
these
questions
in
turn,
but
really
what
I'm
wondering
here
is
I'm,
assuming
the
answer
to
this.
P
Yes,
money
and
the
last
one
I
don't
quite
understand
so,
yes,
we
have,
and-
and
some
of
that
has
been
money,
the
the
contract
is
very
attractive.
It
is
one
of
the
most
attractive
in
the
region.
I
guess.
The
question
that
I,
don't
understand
is
what
you
mean
by
whether
or
not
we've
rejected
whether
we
rejected
applicants.
You.
P
P
I
think
that
there
have
been
you
know
some
of
the
best
practices
that
we're
talking
about
instituting
and
that
Corporal
Irwin
has
has
been
thinking
about
and
that
we're
hopeful
the
recruitment
coordinator
is
going
to
help
keep
track
of
him
implement.
It
would
be
questions
of
people
who
either
leave
the
process,
questions
of
people
that
we
rejected
a
little
more
difficult.
P
So
that
makes
it
a
little
bit
more
complicated,
but
the
notion
of
getting
that
from
people
who
do
go
through
the
process
is
is
a
key
thing:
I'm
I'm
seeking
to
implement
some
levels
of
internal
interrogation
that
we've
never
had
around
recruits.
Who
finish
the
academy?
How
was
the
experience
recruits
who
finish
field
training?
How
is
the
experience
and
trying
to
work
on
on
getting
some
of
those
things
in
in
ways
that
we
haven't
done
at
least
certainly
in
the
recent
past.
L
If
I
may
just
ask
a
brief
follow-up,
president
Paul
I'm
actually
not
familiar
with
how
police
academies
work
around
the
country,
but
you
know
there's
some
frustration
that,
from
my
perspective,
that
we
maybe
have
five
or
six
officers
potentially
who
are
ready
to
come
on
board.
But
you
know
we
need
to
wait
until
the
next
Academy
class
and
then
it
will
be
another
16
weeks.
I
believe,
after
that,
until
they're
able
to
come
back
to
Burlington,
I,
suppose
I'm
curious
in
your
experience
in
working
with
other
departments
around
the
country.
L
P
There
are
it's
a
huge
question
and
I
will
try
to
make
it
very
short.
There
are
almost
as
many
models
as
there
are
states
and
and
to
a
certain
extent,
almost
as
many
as
there
are
departments
right.
The
very
large
departments
almost
always
do
their
own
police
academies,
and
they
therefore
can
meet
whatever
schedule
they
want.
The
most
other,
smaller
departments
have
to
use
some
form
of
State
Academy.
Ours
is
very
specifically
prescribed
by
law,
so
our
ability
to
change
it
or
do
something
differently
is
incredibly
limited.
P
P
P
With
regard
to
the
academy,
I
myself
am
the
chair
of
a
committee
that
is
working
on
the
entrance
exam
standards
for
the
academy
that
group
of
which
I'm
chair
was
instrumental
in
ending
the
use
of
the
old
academic
test,
because
we
did
not
believe
that
it
was
fair
and
we
believed
that
it
was
something
that
was
getting
us
bad
outcomes
with
regard
to
the
the
kinds
of
people
we
want
to
bring
in
we're.
Also
changing
the
physical
fitness
standards
we're
working
on
the
psychological
inventory.
P
M
M
A
request
for
proposal
seeking
experienced
social
service
provider
to
develop
a
crisis
response
team.
It
is
anticipated,
but
the
Burlington
Police
Department
will
eventually
oversee
the
social
service
provider
that
will
administer
the
team.
I
just
wanted
to
comment
that
I.
Don't
think
that
that
is
the
best
model
going
forward
and
I'm
just
wondering.
Is
that
something
that.
M
I'm
I'm
guessing
that
will
just
get
decided
eventually
that
I
mean
this
is
just
my
personal
opinion.
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
that
it's
a
necessary,
nor
necessarily
best
practice
to
have
that
agency,
which
it
sounds
like
very
well.
Maybe
the
Howard
Center
to
be
overseen,
I,
understand
it
as
a
partnership,
but
not
with
not
sort
of
under
the
administration
of
the
department.
I,
don't
know
if
you
can
speak
to
that
line
a
little
bit.
J
J
So
that
is
how
we
are
moving
forward
and
I
I
will
just
I
do
want
to
say:
I
I
am
I,
did
encourage
Chief
Murad
to
bring
Jackie
corbally
onto
the
team
to
add
to
their
capacity
to
get
this
implemented.
We
have
been
waiting
looking
to
get
this
implemented
for
for
some
time.
I
think
people
who
know
the
work
that
Jackie
did
for
for
us
on
the
opioid
epidemic
I
think
having
her
on
the
team
is
a
very
positive
addition
and
further
the.
J
It
is
important
that
we're
working
for
the
long-term
sustainability
of
this
program,
as
well
as
I,
think
for
some
programmatic
reasons
having
the
state
as
a
partner
on
this
will
be
beneficial.
We've
been
working
towards
that
for
some
time
as
well.
It
was
not
clear
when
the
when
the
budget
was
passed
this
year,
how
their
involvement
would
be
manifested.
J
It
only
became
clear
in
October
that
the
best
way
for
us
to
partner
with
the
state
was
through
this
response
to
the
RFP
and
I
was
pleased
that
the
team
did
get
a
strong
proposal
submitted
for
the
November
I
believe
15th
deadline.
Maybe
it
was
14th
and
we
are
looking.
We
were
encouraged
by
the
state
to
be
responded
to
that
and
I'm
very
hopeful
about
that
process.
M
Thank
you
for
that
context.
Yeah.
It's
interesting
that
you
brought
up.
Kahoots
I,
went
on
to
the
Eugene
website
to
try
to
understand
their
structure.
I
didn't
realize
it
was
managed
by
the
police
department
I
when
I
was
looking
into
it.
My
understanding
was
that
it
was
more
so
that
they
received
funding
from
the
city
and
were
sort
of
in
Partnership,
but
shared
the
sort
of
were
connected
through
the
the
sort
of
dispatch
system.
M
Talking
point
that
we
can't
have
just
mental
health
professionals
responding
to
calls
and
I
know
that
Chief
here
that
you
did
mention
that
eventually
but
I
just
don't
want
us
to
start
off
thinking
that
we
can
only
have
you
know
sort
of
police
at
these
calls
as
well
response
in
terms
of
responding
to
calls
I.
Think
that
that's
in
my
opinion,
it's
not
it's
not
a
great.
It's
not
a
great
sort
of
framework
for
thinking
about
this
and
thinking
about
the
crisis.
M
Response
team
I,
just
have
been
sort
of
hearing
that
and
I
know
that
there
are
many
people
who
have
brought
that
up
over
over
the
conversation
over
the
years,
but
I
do
think
we
are
trying
to
think
of
different
ways
of
handling
these
types
of
sort
of
emergencies
or
types
of
issues
in
the
community
and
so
just
sort
of
starting
to
shift
the
way
that
we
think
about
this
and
shift
our
perspective.
It
continues
to
be
helpful.
M
I
will
also
say
just
before
we
move
on
to
another
topic
that
I
was
hoping
to
have
more
of
the
conversation.
Not
just
you
know
the
presentation,
but
also
the
discussion
by
the
council
to
be
focused
on
the
crisis
response
team
specifically
and
I
I,
don't
know
if
we
can
have
a
follow-up
about
this
soon,
but
I
understand.
There
are
a
lot
of
other
topics
to
discuss
when
it
comes
to
Public,
Safety
and
policing.
M
Certainly
it's
something
that
gets
discussed
in
the
community
and
with
us
often,
but
it
just
it
felt
like
we
sort
of
veered
away
from
that.
A
lot
and
my
my
expectation
coming
into
this
was
to
really
hear
a
lot
about
the
crisis
response
team
and
really
be
focused
on
that,
and
you
know
there
will
be
future
presentations
and
future
conversations
about
this.
M
So
I
do
just
think
that
it
would
be
helpful
to
really
give
it
its
due
diligence
at
some
point,
because
I
think
it's
a
super
important
part
of
this
sort
of
next
step
and
next
stage
of
how
we
deal
with
these
kinds
of
issues
as
a
community.
So
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
the
conversation
station
and
the
further
context,
and
that
was
all
thank
you.
P
Did
you
want?
Yes?
Yes,
sure
I
simply
want
to
say
that
if,
if
more
conversation
around
this
issue
is
to
be
had,
I
would
urge
you
to
bring
in
practitioners
because
those
with
whom
I
speak
the
people
who
are
the
responding
office,
people
Personnel
in
the
mental
health
field,
don't
want
to
go
to
many
of
these
incidents
without
police.
This
is
being
said
by
the
people
who
do
the
work
and
so
to
say
to
the
people
who
do
the
work?
M
Thank
you,
I
I,
just
wonder
if
something
wait,
I
I
hear
that
and
I
I
understand
that
and
that's
why
I
brought
that
aspect
up.
I,
just
I
I
think
that
there
can
be
a
culture
shift,
not
just
in
in
the
police
department,
but
also
in
mental
health
professionals
and
how
they
see
their
role
as
well.
I
mean
when
I
think
about
like
the
the
field
that
I
work
in
in
Elder,
Care
or
just
in
you
know
like
nursing
assistance.
M
A
Great
thank
you
well
noted,
seeing
no
other
comments,
we'll
close
out
this
item
and
thank
you
acting
Chief
Murad
for
your
time
and
for
being
here
this
evening.
Thank
you.
We
have
just
about
enough
time
perhaps
to
get
us
to
item
number
four,
which
is
an
update
from
the
mayor
on
the
10-point
action
plan
to
fulfill
the
promise
of
housing
as
a
human
right
in
Burlington.
If
we
do
go
over
we'll
just
go
to
public
forum
and
then
come
back
to
this
mayor
Weinberger
the
floor
is
yours.
J
I
J
Help
with
this
presentation
and
I
think
they're
going
to
come
up
and
join
as
I
get
started
here.
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
update
the
council
and
the
public
on
the
10-point
action
plan
to
fill
the
promise
of
housing
as
a
human
right
in
Burlington.
This
is
a
our
most
recent
Housing
Initiative
that
was
launched
just
a
little
less
than
a
year
ago,
in
response
to
the
acute
housing
challenges
that
we
find
ourselves
facing.
J
Since
the
start,
we
also
brought
additional
focus
and
resources
and
effort
to
addressing
chronic
homelessness
during
the
earlier
stages
of
this
Administration
as
well,
and
both
those
initiatives
were
making
progress
prior
to
the
pandemic,
we
saw
an
approximate
doubling
of
how
overall
housing
production
in
Burlington
over
the
pre-prandemic
years
of
this
Administration.
We
also
saw
numerous
new
resources
for
addressing
chronic
homelessness
created.
We
started
doing
annual
point
in
time
surveys.
We
working
with
Partners,
created
a
coordinated
entry
system
to
bring
a
lot
more
data
to
bear
on
our
dressing
homelessness.
J
We
created
first,
a
winter
warming,
shelter,
low
barrier
warming,
shelter,
and
then
we
made
that
in
2020
a
year-round
facility-
and
we
were
seeing
you
know,
roughly
speaking,
vacancy
rates
were
Rising
During
the
period
leaving
up
to
the
pandemic.
In
general,
we
saw
while
not
entirely
linear.
We
saw
reductions
in
the
number
of
chronic
homelessness
number
of
people
living
in
homelessness.
In
the
community
we
saw
the
total
drop
from
a
2013
total
of
about
I,
believe
it
was
105
individuals
down
to
as
low
as
35
shortly
before
the
pandemic.
J
The
reason
we
announced
this
new
initiative
a
year
ago
is
because
the
the
pandemic
reversed
all
those
gains
housing
production
slowed
substantially
during
2020
and
into
2021
and
in
part
because
of
how
well
Burlington
and
how
well
Vermont
did
with
respect
to
fighting
the
virus.
This
specialty
Place
became
even
more
desirable
for
people
to
live,
and
we
saw
a
significant
influx
migrate
in
in
migration
of
new
residents
and
that
put
greater
pressures
than
ever
on
the
housing
market.
J
We
now
are
seeing
historically
low
vacancy
rates
that
have
continued
over
the
last
year
of
about
a
half
of
a
percent,
and
we
have
seen
an
explosion
in
the
number
of
individuals
living
who
we
identify
as
chronic
chronically
homeless.
That
number,
which
again
had
gotten
as
low
as
35,
is
now
I
believed
to
be
over
I,
believe
220,
and
we
have
seen
an
unprecedented
number
of
people
sleeping
outside.
J
J
We
basically
are
trying
to
build
as
many
homes
in
Burlington
in
the
next
five
years
or
the
next
four
years
on
top
of
the
one
that
we're
completing
is
we
built
in
the
last
decade,
which
again
was
was
an
increase
a
doubling
of
the
prior
decade,
and
we
also
are
have
explicitly
stated
that
we
have
the
goal
now
of
ending
chronic
homelessness
in
Burlington
before
2025.
it
may
seem
jarring
to
in
as
we
are
facing
the
most.
J
You
know
this
enormous
increase
in
chronic
homelessness
to
say
that
we
want
to
end
it
a
couple
years
from
now.
We
did
that
very
intentionally
put
forth
this
ambitious
goal,
because
Burlington
having
such
a
goal
is
a
critical
element
in
in
achieving
that
outcome.
There
are
growing
number
Burlington,
essentially
by
stating
the
skull
doubling
down
on
the
skull.
J
It
has
joined
a
growing
number
of
communities
that
have
explicitly
sought
to
make
homelessness,
rare
and
brief
and
Achieve
what
we
call
functional
zero
and
there
are
increases
a
small
but
growing
number
of
communities
that
have
actually
succeeded
at
this.
We
now
have
that
goal
and
I'll
hand
it
over
to
my
colleagues
how
progress
that
we're
seeing
in
some
areas
towards
towards
achieving
and
towards
making
Investments
that
are
going
to
get
us
there.
So
with
that
I
think
Sarah.
Are
you
next.
S
Hi
everyone
thanks
for
having
me
tonight,
I'm
Sarah,
Russell,
Special,
Assistant,
to
end
homelessness.
One
of
the
one
of
the
points
up
there.
So
I
am
here
to
talk
about
action.
Point
number
three,
which
is
the
coordinated
entry
and
our
investment
and
coordinated
entry
has
yielded
an
increase
in
Staffing
prior
to
the
city's
investment.
S
We
were
at
one
full-time,
employee,
working
under
a
coordinated
entry,
and
now
we
have
2.5,
which
has
added
an
Outreach
component,
has
been
really
successful
in
engaging
people
in
and
enrolling
people
in
the
coordinated
entry
system
so
that
they
can
Access
housing
navigation
services
and
be
connected
with
housing
resources
that
Outreach
person
is
able
to
go
to
parks
to
the
community
resource
center
to
places
where
people
are
and
enroll
them
in
coordinated
entry.
They've
enrolled
112
people
within
the
last
six
months,
which
is
pretty
be
huge.
S
We've
also
seen
123
households
enter
housing
within
the
last
six
months.
Since
we
made
this
investment
as
well.
We
have
developed
mousse
with
private
housing
Developers
for
the
first
time
prior
to
that.
The
only
housing
provider
that
had
a
memorandum
of
agreement
of
agreement
to
accept
households
recorded
entry
was
the
Champlain
Housing
Trust,
and
now
we
have
expanded
Partnerships
with
Summit
and
Neti
properties
and
additionally,
through
coordinated
entry,
we
will
be
incorporating
homeless
prevention,
which
we're
working
on
a
deadline
to
hopefully
have
that
incorporated
into
coordinated
entry
right
now.
J
Sarah
before
you
go
on
to
the
next
slide,
I
did
fail
to
speak
to
the
first
two
points,
so
if
we
could
go
back
to
one
slide
and
then
I'll
hand
it
back
to
you,
Point
number
one
in
the
plan
was
to
invest
at
least
five
million
dollars
of
our
arpa
funds.
The
27
million
dollars
of
federal
funds
that
we
received
in
the
American
Rescue
plan
into
housing,
with
at
least
one
million
dollars
being
designated
for
initiatives
to
better
serve
the
chronically
homeless.
J
The
council
will
remember
that
in
March
we
committed
actually
three
million
dollars
to
various
homelessness
initiatives,
including
the
Elmwood
Avenue,
emergency
shelter
and
the
point
number
two,
and
this
would
have
been
a
better
segue
than
I
managed
to
accomplish
a
moment
ago.
As
we
agreed
together
and
then
the
council
approved
it
was
part
of
the
plan.
The
council
approved
the
creation
of
a
new
position,
a
Special
Assistant,
to
end
homelessness
within
sedo,
to
provide
a
single
point
of
accountability
and
responsibility
Authority
for
expanded
Community
effort.
J
This
is
a
really
important
point,
because
our
homeless
homelessness
efforts
or
attempts
to
help
people
experiencing
homelessness
are
spread
over
many
different
agencies
and
it
in
creating
this
position.
We
are
very
hopeful
that
we
will
create
an
important
new
focus
and
certainly
I've
felt
great
momentum
with
that,
since
Sarah
joined
the
team
in
April
and
with
that
I
will
hand
it
back
to
Sarah.
To
finish
her
part
of
the
presentation.
S
Which
was
a
development
of
homeless,
dedicated
units?
Our
goal
was
to
was
to
have
78
units
in
the
pipeline.
Right
now
were
close
to
meeting
that
goal,
but
we
still
have
some
work
to
do
so.
We're
anticipating
66
new
homeless,
dedicated
units
within
the
next
or
before
2025..
As
you
can
see
up
there,
these
are
kind
of
where
the
where
the
units
are.
S
It
is
important
to
note
that
there
are
additional
homeless,
dedicated
units,
Outside
The
City
of
Burlington
I,
think
that
we
have
about
we're
seeing
around
215
planned
throughout
Chittenden
County.
So
a
lot
of
times
when
we
talk
about
homeless
unit,
you
know
or
homeless
homeless
response,
it's
very
City
based,
but
we
are
taking
a
county
based
approach.
All
the
towns
in
Chittenden
County
are
responsible
for
for
ending
homelessness.
So
the
slide
you
have
here
really
points
to
the
Burlington
units.
S
S
It's
managed
locally
by
CHT
and
state
by
by
the
community
and
housing
development
department,
and
they
allow
for
30
to
50
000
per
unit
to
rehab
the
unit
to
make
it
rentable
and
bring
it
back
into
code,
as
long
as
the
landlord
agrees
to
take
a
referral
through
coordinated
entry
and
house
a
homeless
household.
So
this
has
been
a
real
Innovation
and
and
working
to
to
not
just
connect
our
coordinated
entry
system
with
large
housing
developers,
but
also
to
work
together
on
partnership
with
private
landlords
in
Burlington
as
well.
S
U
Sarah
hi
everybody,
my
name
is
Samantha
Dunn
also
assistant
director
for
Community
works
in
the
cedo
office
and
I've
we've
talked
about
this
a
number
of
times,
I
think
mostly
with
Board
of
Finance,
so
great
to
be
back
with
the
whole
Council
to
provide
an
update,
I.
Think
folks
know
we
received
a
conditional
use.
Zoning
permit
to
move
forward
with
the
construction
Elmwood
in
July
and
we're
able
to
start
construction
in
late
August
in
the
past
three
months.
U
I
think
it's
everyone
can
say:
we've
been
successful
at
transforming
this
site
if
you've
been
by
it
looks
significantly
different
than
it
did
in
July.
So
all
of
the
utilities
that
are
required
for
the
shelter
to
open
are
in
place,
including
Water
and
Sewer
connections
and
underground
power
to
all
of
the
shelters.
25
pallet
shelters
have
been
constructed
on
the
site
and
a
site-wide
mural,
bringing
color
both
the
ground
and
to
the
shelters
was
executed
with
the
help
of
more
than
40
volunteers
over
the
month
of
October.
U
So
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
those
folks.
What's
still
to
come
on,
the
site
is
five
additional
shelters.
Coming
from
up-
and
this,
which
is
a
local
manufacturer
who
started
at
the
generator,
now
has
a
factory
in
Johnson,
those
are
scheduled
to
come
over
the
next
five
weeks
and
then,
most
importantly,
what
we
need
to
open
are
the
two
Community
buildings
coming
from
KBS
builders
in
South,
Paris
Maine.
These
buildings
are
behind
the
schedule
that
we
had
originally
anticipated
due
to
a
number
of
factors.
U
I
think
the
first
one
that
I
want
to
acknowledge
is
probably
my
overly
optimistic
timeline
for
completion
of
wanting
this
to
be
done,
but
KBS
like
all
Builders
and
lots
of
businesses
right
now
continue
to
face
a
really
severe
supply
chain
in
labor
shortages
that
have
impacted
their
production
schedule.
So
I
am
in
constant
contact
of
folks
in
the
office
several
times
a
day
with
KBS
just
working
through
how
how
we
can
keep
it
moving
forward
quickly
and
what
the
different
options
are,
and
so
that
is
ongoing.
U
One
of
the
recent
changes
is
we'll
be
doing
the
mechanical
equipment
on
site,
because
that's
something
through
our
partnership
with
Vermont
energy
Investment,
corporation
and
bed.
We
know
we
have
the
expertise
to
to
do
on
site
and
that
takes
that
work
out
of
the
factory.
I
did
get
commitment
from
KBS
today
that
they're
going
to
bump
a
bunch
of
projects
and
our
buildings
will
be
going
online
on
December
1st.
That
means
that
they
should
be
delivered.
The
next
piece
is
getting
transportation
of
these
units.
Hopefully
the
weather
will
comply.
U
Before
Christmas
the
units
will
arrive
on
site
and
then
our
local
contractor
will
need
about
two
weeks
and
that
mechanical
contractor
to
get
them
set
for
occupancy.
So
we
are
very
hopeful
to
be
opening
in
early
January
and
then
I'm
going
to
pass
it
back
to
Sarah
who's,
doing
MO
to
talk
about
the
really
exciting
Partnerships
that
are
being
put
in
place
to
ensure
that
the
Elmwood
shelter
Community
is,
is
a
successful
and
essential,
as
it
can
be.
Thanks.
S
So
we
are
working
with
Champlain,
Housing,
Trust
and
cvoeo
to
provide
some
onboarding
and
training
to
those
new
staff,
including
harm
reduction,
conflict
management,
de-escalation
and
racial
and
social
identity,
professional
development
opportunities
for
those
new
staff
to
be
able
to
properly
support
the
diverse
guests
who
will
be
staying
at
the
shelter.
We
also
will
have
a
1.5
have
full-time
position,
housing
Navigator,
provided
by
cvoeo.
S
They
will
be
providing
all
of
the
on-site
Case
Management
Services
dedicated
to
the
guests.
Staying
there.
Additionally,
cvoeos
core
team
will
be
delivering
food
and
basic
necessities
to
this
site.
Monday
through
Friday
and
chcb
will
be
bringing
their
Mobile
Medical
and
mental
health
Outreach
Services
to
Elmwood
as
well.
Turning
point
will
be
providing
low
barrier
recovery
meetings
on
site
and
a
the
vermonters
for
Criminal
Justice
Reform
will
also
be
on-site,
implementing
pieces
of
their
new
contingency
Management
program
to
support
overdose
prevention
and
education
and
Fentanyl
avoidance
and
testing
incentivizing.
S
So
we
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
really
robust
services
that
are
ready
to
go
just
as
soon
as
those
buildings
show
up
there.
We
recognize
the
delay
in
opening
Elmwood,
leaves
a
gap
and
already
lacking
emergency
shelter
capacity
within
our
community
and
while
there's
currently
no
emergency
shelter
capacity.
The
Chittenden
County
homeless
Alliance
is
evaluating
how
we
can
advocate
for
creation
of
additional
emergency
shelter
options
in
Chittenden
County
an
example
of
some
movement
that
we
hope
to
see
is
Zephyr
place,
which
is
a
new
property
owned
and
managed
by
Champlain.
S
Housing
Trust
in
Williston
will
be
opening.
They'll
have
38
units
and
36
of
those
units
are
referrals
through
the
coordinated
entry
system
for
formerly
homeless
households.
We're
anticipating
that
about
a
little
over
50
percent
of
those
will
be
people
who
are
currently
in
the
motel
system,
which
means
that,
with
those
folks
moving
into
these
units,
it
creates
a
little
bit.
It
eases
the
stress
on
the
emergency,
the
emergency
shelter
through
the
motel
system.
V
V
Really.
It
was
really
something
that
came
about
during
a
time
when
the
federal
government
turned
its
back
on
affordable
housing
and
low-income
programs.
So
this
is
really
a
fairly
recent
phenomenon
in
our
in
our
history.
I
just
think
it's
important
to
to
note
that
I
think
the
memo
that
you
all
got
attempts
to
lay
out
what's
happening
with
housing
development
in
the
city,
because
this
goal
was
to
support
the
creation
of
1250
new
homes
over
the
next
five
years,
including
312,
permanently
affordable.
V
Are
we
bumped
ahead?
So
back
up,
one
that'd
be
great
yeah,
and
so
we
are
making
great
strides
with
respect
to
the
overall
housing
production
in
in
the
memo
it
describes,
I
think
I,
ate
827
units
are
either
constructed
or
under
construction,
and
with
more
to
come
in
the
pipeline
of
several
hundred.
More
so
we're
we're
optimistic
that
the
1250
goal
will
be
achieved.
V
What
we
really
need
to
sort
of
put
our
effort
and
focus
on
is
to
ensure
that
the
number
of
permanently
affordable
units
comes
as
close
as
possible,
ideally
exceeds,
but
certainly
comes
as
close
as
possible
to
the
goal
of
312
right
now
we
would
be
behind
that
goal.
We've
got
several
years
to
go
to
kind
of
catch
up
and
I'm
optimistic
and
that
our
funding
scenario
that
we
look
at
as
we
look
forward
will
allow
us
to
make
some
progress
in
that
regard.
V
V
Hopefully,
the
short-term
rental
policy
will
lead
to
new
revenue
for
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
I.
Think
it's
a
good
Nexus
there
between
the
work
or
the
challenges
of
our
housing
market
and
and
expanding
resources
in
the
trust
fund.
We
we
have
applications
that
exceed
the
available
funding
rate
now,
because
the
cycle
is
underway
about
60
percent
higher
the
applications
exceed
the
dollars
available
by
about
60
percent,
so
that
the
need
continues
to
far
outpace
the
available
resources.
But
we
are
funding
the
trust
fund.
It
is
significantly
higher
level
as
a
result,
we'll
see
more.
V
You
know
that
enables
more
production
of
permanently
affordable
housing,
so
that
is
it
for
number.
Seven
I
think
we're
going
to
have
some
higher
level
sort
of
planning
and
land
use
goals
described
by
Megan
that
we're
working
on
I,
know
you're
running
at
public
forum,
and
maybe
you
want
to
break
right
here
and
have
us
come.
A
Our
apologies
for
running
a
little
bit
behind
here,
don't
go
too
far
away,
we'll
we'll
resume
this
after
public
forum.
As
the
hour
is
now
7,
30.,
we'll
move
on
to
item
6.01,
which
is
the
public
forum
before
we
begin
public
forum,
a
few,
a
few
items
of
information
for
those
who
might
be
new
to
public
forum
if
you're
in
contoice
and
you're
going
to
be
speaking
during
public
forum,
the
system
on
the
table,
that's
in
front
of
me,
has
three
lights.
The
green
light
will
shine
when
you
begin
speaking.
A
The
second
yellow
light
will
shine
when
you
have
about
30
seconds
left
and
then
the
last
red
light
will
shine
when
your
time
is
up.
We
ask
that
you,
please
complete
your
comments
when
the
sound
indicates
that
your
time
is
up
so
that
everyone
has
time
to
speak.
There
are
about
15
people
that
are
in
the
queue
to
speak
during
public
forum,
so
we're
going
to
try
very
hard
to
keep
to
the
two-minute
timeline.
There
is
a
hybrid
system
for
public
forum.
If
you
wish
to
speak,
you
can
go
if
you
wish.
A
If
you
are
remote
and
you
wish
to
speak
in
during
public
forum,
you
can-
and
you
can
do
this
now,
if
you'd
like
you,
can
go
to
burlingtonvt.gov
public
forum
and
the
form
will
come
up
just
complete
the
form
and
the
answers
will
come
into
a
spreadsheet.
That
I
will
see
so
that
I
know
that
you
are
interested
in
speaking
and
then
we
will
call
on
you.
It
has
been
our
practice
and
continues
to
be.
The
Burlington
residents
will
have
first
priority
and
then
we
will
go
to
so.
A
To
conclude
during
public
forum,
the
only
thing
that
we
ask
other
than
keeping
to
the
time
limit
is
that
you
do
your
best
to
use
respectful
language
keeping
in
mind
that
there
are
children
and
young
people
who
do
watch
public
forum
as
part
of
their
civic
engagement,
and
please
do
not
personalize
your
comments,
direct
them
to
me
as
the
chair
and
not
to
anyone
else
at
the
table.
We
really
want
to
hear
what
you
have
to
say
and
it's
a
lot
easier
to
listen
intently.
A
W
Yeah
I'm
here
to
talk
about
Ring
choice
for
mayoral
election
Sinead,
Murray
I
as
their
democracy
associate
Berg's
been
working
with
ranked
choice
for
nearly
20
years.
We
also
are
the
state's
largest
environmental
and
consumer
protection
advocacy
group.
We
have
over
50
000
members.
We
support
the
proposal
for
ranked
Choice
voting
for
mayoral
races
because
ranked
Choice
has
been
proven
to
be
popular
and
effective.
Pro
voter
PRO
voice,
pro-democracy
reform.
W
It
benefits
voters
and
candidates,
regardless
of
party,
with
other
benefits
like
producing
majority
winners,
ending
the
spoiler
Canada
effect,
disincentivizing
negative
campaigning
and
encouraging
more
women
and
bipod
candidates
to
run
for
office.
This
reform
will
help
alleviate
many
problems
facing
the
first
pass.
The
post-voting
system,
Burlington
voters,
have
already
overwhelmingly
supported
ranked
choice
for
city
council
elections
when
over
64
percent
of
Voters
approved
it
in
March
of
2021.
W
W
We
hope
that
Vermont
will
join
that
list
in
2024
for
ranked
choice
in
presidential
primaries,
but
still
we
support
the
proposal
to
expand
the
use
of
ranked
choice
for
mayoral
elections
in
and
to
put
it
before
voters
before
March
of
2023
on
that
ballot
for
town
meeting
day,
if
it
makes
the
ballot
and
voters
support
the
measure,
the
city
has
an
excellent
opportunity
to
strengthen
democracy
ahead
of
the
next
mayoral
election.
The
most
democratic
thing
the
council
can
do
is
to
empower
voters
with
the
opportunity
to
decide
by
expanding
the
use
of
ranked
Choice
voting.
W
A
K
K
The
history
and
the
archeology
is
wrong,
but
yet
you
keep
doubling
down
on
teaching
the
lies
and
everybody
at
this
point
knows
it,
and
so
the
absurdity
is
that
you
know
what,
in
the
last
few
years,
I've
gotten
just
as
much
violence
and
disgusting
violence
from
Democrats,
progressives
and
liberals
as
I
have
from
Republicans
and
conservatives
and
I
just
see
you
guys
arguing
over
what
color
fascism
should
be.
Should
it
be
red,
should
it
be
blue,
should
it
be
red?
K
A
X
O
X
For
being
is
to
be
a
utility
in
which
we
sweep
under
this
carpet
the
problem,
the
other
redistricting
problems
we
have.
Who
wants
to
be
in
that
Ward?
Another
thing
is
that
if
anybody
was
like
a
worked
as
a
recruiter
or
a
broker
or
a
Matchmaker
it
it's
it's.
You
know
you'll,
learn
that
it's
not
sufficient!
That
party
a
wants
to
have
a
relationship
with
party
B,
but
it
has
to
be
reciprocated,
and
you
know
so.
X
Nine
years
ago
we
had
an
amicable
divorce,
you
could
say
between
a
new
North
End
and
the
old
North
End
and
separating
the
two
because
they
wanted
to
be
distinct.
But
it's
turns
out
that
we're
learning
in
the
ad
hoc
committee
that
there
are
folks
that
are
downtown
that
want
to
be
distinct
from
the
old
North
End.
Now
you
know,
rather
than
making
a
neighborhood
where
one
doesn't
exist
or
just
maintaining
the
current
salamander
award,
for
which
I
have
to
wear
the
Scarlet
eight
on
my
forehead.
X
Why
don't
we
give
this
drop
this
footprint
of
Ward
8
onto
some
people
who
want
it?
Because
then,
what's
going
to
happen
in
10
years?
We're
not
going
to
get
lectured
by
a
bunch
of
people
about
this
gerrymandered
downtown
Ward.
Why
did
we
get
stuck
in
this
Ward
we'll
have
people
who
want
to
be
in
it
and
they'll
defend
it.
A
A
T
T
I
think
Lori
olberg
has
put
that
into
your
board
packet
and
along
with
a
lot
of
letters
from
Ward,
1
and
Ward
8..
So
this
is
just
our
sort
of
formality
of
flagging
it.
For
you,
the
ward,
1
NPA
supports
redistricting
maps
that
maintain
Ward
1's
historic
boundaries
and
neighborhood
Integrity
to
the
maximum
extent
possible.
T
The
ward
1
NPA
favors,
the
maps
entitled
Ward
8
to
Central,
Hill,
V1
and
V2,
as
well
as
Robert
Bristow
Johnson's
map
entitled
rollington
Awards
v20,
as
speaking
personally,
not
as
a
member
of
the
NPA,
the
elephant
in
the
room
is
UVM
and
the
impact
of
UVM
on
particularly
on
Wards
one
and
eight
and
I
know.
That's
the
struggle
that
you're
having
and
we
really
appreciate
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
I
I
think
my
understanding
is
that
the
mou
with
UVM
has
been
severed
on
their
part
and
I.
T

AA
Thank
you
for
having
me
I
want
to
thank
mayor,
Weinberger
and
chief
Murad
for
all
that
they
are
doing
to
make
this
city
more
livable
for
all
of
us
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
service.
I
also
want
to
thank
councilor
Shannon
for
being
the
only
one
out
of
this
August
body
to
respond
to
the
letter
that
I
sent
each
and
every
one
of
you,
along
with
Sarah
George
and
Philip
Ruth,
about
the
situation
that
we
have
in
the
city,
around
lawlessness.
I
think
you
all
know
about
it.
AA
Two
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars
a
year.
That's
what
we
pay
in
taxes
and
Marketplace
fees
for
outdoor
gear,
Exchange,
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
is
the
annualized
number
of
what
we
know.
We
are
losing
out
the
front
door
without
it
being
paid,
for
that
is
approximately
half
of
what
we
think
we're
actually
losing
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
the
amount
of
money
that
we
are
spending
annualized
for
private
security
to
try
to
staunch
that
flow
of
money.
AA
AA
AA
We
pay
considerable
amounts
of
money
in
local
option
tax
to
Burlington,
let
alone
what
we
pay
to
the
state
that
money
risks
going
away
from
us
and
all
of
the
other
retailers
and
businesses
in
this
city.
If
you
've
been
elected
to
do
so,
don't
fix
this
problem,
so
I
implore
you
all
as
a
body
and
as
individuals
to
take
this
on
seriously
and
come
up
with
a
solution
that
doesn't
wait
for
the
city
to
re,
re-employ,
all
the
police
officers
and
for
a
solution
that
takes
into
account
the
humanity
we
all
believe
in.
AA
A
AB
I,
come
to
appeal
for
Senator,
elect
Welch,
to
consider
stepping
away
from
the
seed
entirely
and
allowing
another
Democrat
to
go
to
the
four
I.
Don't
think
that
as
Senator
Leahy's
Protege
now
for
several
years
that
he
has
been
very
effective
even
in
retaining
the
district
office,
that
was
that
Senator
Jeffords
had
in
Rutland
County
when
Senator
Jeffords,
retired
Peter
could
have
held
that
office
in
Rutland.
County
opened
that
District
office,
but
he
didn't
do
that
and
he
neither
did.
AB
A
AC
And
I'm
been
following
developments
here
and
I
understand
that
there
is
one
possibility,
that's
been
discussed
and
that
is
a
four
District
or
essentially
forward
solution
with
much
larger
Awards
and
presumably
about
three
people.
I,
presumably,
would
presume
three
counselors
per
award.
I
would
like
to
speak
in
in
favor
of
smaller
Awards
whenever
possible.
AC
I
think
that,
apart
from
the
fact
that
there's
a
much
better
opportunity
much
more
chance
and
that
there
will
be
a
really
free
and
and
meaningful
transfer
of
information
and
opinion
between
counselor
and
citizen
of
the
ward
in
smaller
warrants,
there's
also
another
factor.
I
think,
and
that
is
the
increasing
impersonality
of
campaigns
and
the
role.
C
AC
Money,
the
amount
of
money
that
used
to
be
spent
was
just
a
few
hundred
dollars
for
some
pamphlets
and
signs
that
went
in
the
stores
of
in
the
windows
of
stores.
That
was
the
old
days
now
now
we're
looking
at
thousands
of
dollars
for
these
campaigns
in
this
city
offices.
It's
it
and
it
it
really
does
involve
some
really
nice
fancy,
Printing
and
so
forth.
The
larger
the
district,
the
more
more
need
there
is
for
that.
That
sort
of
relatively
impersonal
but
expensive
contact
with
voters
and
therefore
speaking.
A
Z
Evening,
good
evening,
it's
wonderful
to
be
here.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
work.
I
first
want
to
start
with
a
very
special
shout
out
in
kudos
to
a
gentleman
named
John
husband,
who
is
part
of
our
fire
and
rescue
department,
and
the
issue
is
de-escalation
focus
and
professional
caring,
I
called
9-1-1.
A
few
weeks
ago,
a
dear
friend
of
Peter's
and
mine
was
in
a
difficult,
difficult
state
with
her
breathing,
and
here
I
am
and
John
arrived
with
his
team
and
came
in
and
John
literally.
Z
And
our
friend
was
here
and
Peter
was
in
the
chair
and
he
took
her
hands,
which
was
a
young
woman,
and
he
spent
over
an
hour
with
her
on
his
knee
and
she
was
afraid
about
going
to
the
hospital
he
said
to
her
write-off.
You
will
not
have
to
go
anywhere
you
where
you
don't
want
to
go.
She
had
hyperventilation,
he
explained
to
her
what
was
going
on.
He
brought
her
back,
I
would
say
within
45
minutes.
She
looked
at
us
and
she
said
you
know
I'm
fine
and
he
continued
to
stay
there
with
her.
Z
It's
one
of
the
most
beautiful
public
service,
de-escalation
situations
that
I've
seen
it
happened
right
here
in
the
city,
John
husband's
I
wish
he
could
be
in
a
hundred
places
at
once
to
help
us
I
live
in
Ward,
one
too
and
I
want
to
reiterate
Carolyn's
comments
and
Peter's
comments.
I
too,
have
been
at
the
NPA
meetings
and
this
beautiful
active
campaign.
That's
going
on
for
the
the
East
District
seat.
Right
now
has
been
wonderful
to
be
part
of
Zariah
holds
all
three
of
those
seats
kind
of
in
her
responsibility
at
this
point.
Z
AD
I
think
there's
a
few
things
that
I'm
just
going
to
try
to
say
at
a
high
level
and
there's
going
to
be
things
I'm
going
to
follow.
You
follow
up
with
Point
by
point,
but
first
and
foremost,
I
would
really
like
for
this
body
to
actually
have
a
much
more
in-depth
conversation
about
Cahoots.
It
was
a
little
bit
disappointing
that
it
kind
of
veered
off
this
evening.
A
considerable
amount
of
time
didn't
focus
on
Cahoots
and
I
think
there
was
a
lot
of
things
that
was
expressed
that
some
of
it
was
misinformation.
AD
Frankly,
it's
been
a
couple
years,
so
it
feels
like
there
needs
to
be
a
Touchback
to
that
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
as
a
parent
who
has
children
who
have
mental
health
issues,
what
are
the
things
that
I'm,
seeing
as
a
pretty
serious
issue
in
this
city
is
that
we
don't
have
a
10-point
plan
for
mental
health
and
we
have
major
institutions
right
up
the
road
from
us.
We
have
the
University
of
Vermont.
We
have
the
University
Medical
Center.
We
have
incredible.
We
have
the
Howard
Center.
AD
We
have
United
Way
they're,
all
working
in
silos
to
serve
community
members
here
and
there's
tons
of
money
that
is
coming
in
in
order
to
address
mental
health,
but
they're
working
completely
separately
from
each
other,
and
it's
such
a
waste
and
I
want
you
to
know
that
when
my
daughter
was
in
and
out
of
Crisis
six
times
last
fall,
nobody
would
come
to
our
door.
So
some
of
what
was
expressed
here
by
the
police
chief
was
accurate
in
what
was
expressed
here
by
councilman.
Freeman
was
also
accurate.
AD
A
AD
A
A
AE
For
having
me
I'm
gonna
focus
on
the
10
point
plan
around
homelessness
and
just
to
say,
I
know,
there's
just
incredible
efforts
going
on
from
every
direction,
I
work
for
the
committee
on
temporary
shelter
and
have
been
there
about
seven
months
now
and
and
learning
how
drastic
the
situation
is
in
Burlington.
This
is
my
hometown
and
and
I
live
in
the
old,
North,
End
and
and
close
to
folks
who
are
struggling
a
lot
with
homelessness.
AE
A
couple
of
big
concerns,
I
I,
understand
you
know
the
restraint
around
construction
issues
with
the
pods
and
maybe
not
having
much
control
over
that.
Wishing
that
this
all
could
have
moved
more
quickly
because
having
those
30
pods
open
sooner
would
would
really
really
have
helped
a
lot
right
now,
especially
with
the
weather,
changing
so
much
so
quickly
and
getting
cold
all
of
a
sudden.
AE
Other
thing
that's
happened
recently:
I
saw
was
that
cboeo
did
a
great
job
with
helping
get
a
bus
ticket
for
somebody
who
couldn't
find
a
motel
locally
but
needed
to
get
out
of
their
tent
and
out
of
the
cold
and
cboeo
helped
in
a
in
a
very
quick
amount
of
time
get
a
bus
ticket
for
somebody
to
get
a
motel
room
in
Rutland.
So
those
things
are
critical.
Anything
we
can
do
to
be
creative
and
take
this
all
really
I
know
you
all
do
take
it
very
seriously.
A
Great,
thank
you
Lucy.
The
next
person
in
the
queue
just
just
left,
a
name
of
gray
and
I
I,
can't
find
you
I
can't
find
you
as
an
attendee.
So
if
you
I'll
come
back
to
you,
but
if
you
want
to
identify
Yourself
by
raising
your
hand,
we
will
come
back
to
you.
The
next
speaker
is
Keith
Pillsbury
and
Keith.
I
did
find
you
and
have
enabled
your
microphone.
You
should
be
able
to
speak
now.
A
AF
And
I
lived
on
University
Terrace
for
48
years
as
part
of
Ward
one
serving
for
23
years
as
their
school.
Commissioner,
in
2014
we
were
restricted.
We
were
redistricted
to
Ward
8,
where
I
had
to
become
the
ward,
Clerk
and
and
a
steering
committee
member,
because
there
were
so
few
people
available
to
do
those
jobs,
neither
wardates
neighborhood.
These
rewards
neighborhoods
were
easily
accessible
to
University
terrorists,
because
we're
so
separate
our
street
is
surrounded
by
three
census
blocks
that
have
zero
residents
on
the
south.
It
is
bordered
by
Robinson
Parkway,
which
is
in
Ward
6..
AF
Our
street
has
76
people
in
its
closer
to
Ward
six
neighbors.
We
believe
it
is
time
to
redistrict
our
street
to
Ward
six,
where
we
share
the
same
resident
issues
and
most
political
candidates
think
we
already
live
there.
We
support
our
Ward
8,
long-term
renters
and
homeowners,
who
are
seeking
a
realistic
balance
of
homeowners,
long-term
renters
and
student
renters.
The
ward
8
to
the
North
Hill
Maps
versions
are
the
best
way
to
achieve
balance
and
create
neighborhoods
stability,
warning
with
news
campus
students.
However,
it
picks
up
the
most
heavily
student
rental
areas
in
the
city.
AF
The
streets
south
of
North
Prospect,
have
a
good
balance
of
homeowners
and
student.
Rentals
I
have
campaigned
many
times
on
those
streets
and
the
issues
of
the
residents.
There
are
the
same
as
in
Ward
8..
We
are,
we
were
humbled,
but
that
there
was
not
any
outpouring
of
support
that
our
streets
for
our
street
to
stay
in
Ward
one
in
2013.,
when
we
were
slated
to
be
redistricted
to
a
totally
new
location,
Ward
8.,
we
empathize
with
residents
in
Ward,
one
who
are
reluctant
to
change
a
majority
of
the
letters
you
receive
from
Ward.
A
AG
Thank
you,
president
Paul
good
evening,
mayor
Weinberger
and
City
councilors.
My
name
is
Maddie
posig
I
live
on
Hungerford
Terrace
in
Ward
8,
where
I've
lived
for
41
years.
I
would
like
to
speak
to
you
tonight
about
redistricting.
As
a
member
of
a
ward,
8
neighborhood
group
I
am
aware
that
redistricting
is
not
on
your
agenda
tonight,
but
I
would
like
you
to
keep
a
few
points
in
mind.
As
you
move
towards
a
final
map.
AG
Ten
years
ago,
a
mistake
was
made
in
the
creation
of
Ward
8..
Many
of
you
have
recognized
the
problems
of
Ward
8
and
have
clearly
stated
the
makeup
of
wardate
needs
to
change.
Therefore,
it
is
most
discouraging
to
hear
that
a
new
map
is
being
circulated
and
given
serious
consideration.
That
is,
at
its
heart,
a
recreation
of
the
current
board.
Eight,
this
word
is
problematic
for
both
its
residents
as
well
as
for
the
entire
city,
it
has
been
challenging
to
find
candidates
for
City,
councilor
or
School
Board,
commissioner
or
volunteers
to
work
at
the
polls.
AG
Word.
8
has
consistently
had
the
lowest
voter
turnout
of
any
Ward,
although
my
neighbors
and
I
feel
the
best
solution
to
these
problems
are
the
maps
that
include
adding
the
Northfield
neighborhoods.
We
are
open
to
other
options,
anything
that
would
create
a
fair
and
balanced
Ward.
Eight,
the
new
map
being
discussed
once
again
places
the
athletic
campus
in
Ward
8,
recreating
the
salamander
War.
We
currently
have
therefore
I'm
appealing
to
each
of
you
to
please.
Please
create
eight
wards
that
all
have
fair
and
balanced
populations
and
not
leave
Ward
8
with
the
leftovers.
Once
again.
AG
A
The
next
speaker,
I,
have
is
JF
Carter,
newbieser
I,
do
not
see
you
Carter
on
in
I,
don't
see
you
as
an
attendee.
If
you
want
to
identify
yourself
happy
to
go,
come
back
to
you
and
the
next
speaker
is
Tiffany.
Johnson
Tiffany
I
do
see
that
you
want
to
speak
when
we
get
to
the
local,
the
local
cannabis
Control
Commission,
and
we
will
come
back
to
you
at
that
time.
The
last
speaker
is
in
the
queue
is
Erhard
monkey
and
I
have
found.
AH
AH
It
it
just
it's
just
not
something
that
I
think
word
word.
One
folks
can
can
live
with,
as
Peter
okowski
mentioned.
I
too
have
heard
that
maybe
you're
now
considering
kind
of
throwing
in
the
towel
on
on
the
kind
of
creating
lines
that
that
help
that
work
for
everyone
and
possibly
doing
a
four
District,
no
Ward
map
that
would
have
three
counselors
per
District
I.
Just
really
want
a
highly
strongly
speak
against
that.
AH
That
I
just
find
that
to
be
less
Democratic
counselors
will
be
further
removed
from
their
constituents.
You
will
increasingly
have
a
city
council
of
folks
who
are
not
necessarily
ordinary
working
vermonters
they'll,
more
be
retirees
they'll
all
be
folks
that
have
are
of
a
greater
means
campaign
spending
will
continue
to
grow
and
get
out
of
get
out
of
hand,
and,
lastly,
it'll
be
really
hard
for
counselors
to
represent
the
larger
District.
So
please
don't
go
this
route.
This
is
one
of
the
main
things
that
The
Advisory
board
on
redistricting
strongly
urged
against.
A
A
So
with
that,
we
will
close
the
public
forum,
and
we
will
return
to
the
item
that
we
had
left,
which
was
item
number
four,
the
ten
Point
housing
action
plan.
We
do
have
a
a
very
busy
agenda
this
evening
and
maybe,
if
you
could
go
through
the
slides
that
are
remaining
in
the
next
couple
of
minutes
and
then
we
would
have
time
for
some
questions.
Please.
AI
Foreign
okay,
thank
you.
I
can
be
brief.
My
name
is
Megan
Tuttle
I'm,
the
director
for
the
office
of
City
Planning
here
and
the
last
three
slides
that
we
had
planned
to
show.
You
were
about
the
three
zoning
amendments
that
were
part
of
the
10-point
housing
plan.
A
lot
of
the
updates
that
you
heard
about
already
from
the
team
from
cedo
have
to
do
with
sort
of
immediate
deployment
of
resources
and
services.
AI
AI
The
aim
of
this
district
is
to
help
us
implement
the
concept
of
an
innovation
District
that
was
in
Plan
B
TV
South
End,
while
also
expanding
to
allow
for
some
residential
uses
in
that
area.
We're
also,
as
part
of
this
amendment
considering
standards
that
would
help
guide
the
development
of
these
very
large
sites
in
this
part
of
the
city,
specifically
with
regard
to
building
massing
and
things
like
connectivity
for
new
streets
or
non-vehicular
pathways.
AI
The
next
amendment
is
about
another
zoning
amendment
that
would
allow
for
really
opening
new
campus
opportunities.
New
opportunities
for
on-campus
housing
on
uvm's
Trinity
campus
again,
this
work
began
with
a
request
from
UVM
to
the
city
to
consider
some
of
the
zoning
standards
that
were
limiting
the
amount
of
housing
that
could
be
developed
on
the
Trinity
campus
and
Beyond
those
requests.
AI
The
final
amendment
is
about
opening
new
opportunities
for
Citywide
housing
opportunities.
We
call
missing
middle
zoning
reforms.
This
is
here
in
Burlington.
This
is
something
that
we're
calling
the
BTV
Neighborhood
code
and,
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
illustration
shows
you
that
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
really
the
range
of
housing
types
that
exist
in
the
space
between
a
single-family
home
and
an
apartment,
building
the
types
of
homes
that
can
really
fit
within
existing
neighborhoods
in
a
seamless
way.
AI
In
January,
we
were
awarded
an
inaugural
Grant
from
the
State
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
to
support
this
work
and
have
been
working
in
collaboration
with
AARP,
who
has
brought
a
number
of
technical
advisors
and
and
a
significant
amount
of
financial
contribution
to
help
us
perform
analyzes
on
our
existing
development
patterns
in
our
neighborhoods
in
Burlington,
as
well
as
to
evaluate
what
the
main
barriers
for
enabling
more
of
these
middle
housing
types
in
our
neighborhoods
are.
Today.
AI
The
initial
findings
from
these
studies
were
presented
in
October
to
a
number
of
Housing
and
Development
Partners.
You
all
were
invited
to
that.
Some
of
our
planning
Commissioners
joined
as
well
as
some
other
stakeholders,
and
we
presented
that
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
we
are
currently
working
on
a
report
that
will
be
available
on
our
Department's
website
summarizing
these
findings.
AI
So
the
next
phase
will
actually
identify
us
kind
of
taking
our
findings
from
the
existing
work.
We've
been
doing
and
building
out
some
potential
zoning
changes
that
could
really
help
us
to
build
on
our
neighborhoods
unique
characteristics
and
help
us
kind
of
re-legalize.
Some
of
these
beloved
forms
of
housing
that
used
to
be
part
of
our
neighborhoods
kind
of
new
housing
creation
and
ways
that
we
can
help
further
incorporate
new
small
and
middle
housing
types
into
our
neighborhoods.
AJ
I
want
to
thank
you
all
and
thank
the
mayor
for
a
comprehensive
plan.
I'm
focused
on
two
areas
in
particular
I
think.
Actually,
these
are
in
Megan's
Valley
Wick,
which
is
the
the
South
and
Enterprise
or
innovation
District
I,
just
want
to
say
and
I
have
not
been
able
to.
Although
I've
have
an
interest
in
going
to
the
public
engagement
process,
but
I
have
a
concern
that
we
keep
enough
land
available
for
light
manufacturing
and
Associated
Enterprise
activities
there.
You
know
we
should
not
become
a
bedroom
community
here.
AJ
The
the
mix
that
we
have
in
the
South
End
is
important,
because
that
is
you
know
the
the
commercial
industrial
area
of
the
city
and
that's
important
for
jobs.
It's
important
for
transportation,
so
I
I'm,
hoping
that
the
the
rezoning
is
really
taking
into
that
account,
and
you
know
in
reading
the
the
proposed
zoning
framework
that
you
have
on
on
the
website.
I
notice,
you
know
the
language
in
this.
It's
typical
of
language
around
zoning
is
that
we
hope
we
permit
this.
AJ
We
permit
that,
but
I
think
that
part
of
the
problems
that
existed
the
last
time
we
tried
to
to
go
down.
The
housing
Road
in
the
Enterprise
district
is
at
the
market
itself,
pushes
certain
types
of
development,
and
so
housing
being
as
tight
as
it
is,
will
create
tremendous
pressures
to
turn
spaces
that
are
for
artists
that
are
for
makers
that
could
be
developed
for
bigger
commercial
or
other
activities.
AJ
AJ
I
really
do
think
that
it's
time
that
we
we
take
a
a
fundamentally
different
look
at
the
density
of
this
city
and
and
actually
do
away
with
with
those
districts
to
allow
the
city
to
develop
as
as
a
city
and
I
would
just
point
out
that
in
the
the
1970s
it
was
in
the
mid
to
late
1970s.
The
Planning
Commission
actually
did
call
for
the
end
of
the
low
residential
district
in
the
in
the
new
North
End.
AJ
AL
About
how
you
work
together,
county-wide
and
the
alliance
doesn't
and
I
certainly
know
that
from
experience,
the
service
agencies
do
well
by
that,
but
I
had
a
question
around
other
municipalities.
Involvement.
Are
there
other
municipalities
taking
on
specific
efforts
for
the
houseless,
contributing
financially
to
some
of
the
efforts
like
the
City
of
Burlington?
Has
that
you're,
aware
of.
S
Not
that
I'm,
aware
of
I
do
know
that
school
districts
have
just
begun
working
in
this
area.
The
Champlain
Valley
School
District
for
the
first
time
hired
a
housing
coordinator
or
a
housing
and
assessment
coordinator
for
their
entire
school
district
and
the
amount
of
Housing
and
stability
that
she's
uncovered
there
is
is
pretty
astounding.
According
to
her
most
recent
assessment
that
she
submitted.
I
also
know
that
Burlington
School
District
had
all
schools
have
homeless
Liaisons
through
the
mckinney-vento
ACT,
many
of
them
don't
or
the
vast
majority.
S
If
not,
all
of
them
do
not
actually
provide
direct
service,
they
have
more
track
and
make
sure
that
children
have
access
to
to
school
transportation
to
school
and
equal
access.
So
that's
about
the
extent
that
I'm,
aware
of
in
terms
of
municipalities
being
involved,
is
just
through
the
school
District.
AL
Thanks
and
that
will
just
take
me
to
my
second
question,
which
is
you
know,
I
think
the
city
is
doing
a
great
job,
with
very
limited
resources
to
tackle
what
is
really
a
regional
problem,
and
you
know
we,
the
city,
are
kind
of
taking
the
brunt
of
it
in
sort
of
short
words,
the
obvious
answer
for
the
house:
this
is
more
housing.
But
what
should
we
be
asking
the
state
for
right
now,
this
winter
I'm,
you
know,
I
hear,
there's
a
waiting
list
to
get
in
the
coordinated
entry.
AL
S
That's
a
really
good
question,
Sarah
I,
think
from
from
my
perspective
and
the
conversations
that
we've
had
I
would
say
that
there
is
a
huge.
There
is
essentially
at
this
point:
zero
capacity
in
the
motel
system
in
Chittenden,
County
ESD
posts,
those
numbers
daily.
Now
there
are
no
motels
in
Chittenden
County
for
people
who
need
to
access
emergency
shelter
due
to
the
cold
weather.
S
Historically,
the
state
was
utilizing
arpa
funds
that
have
since
dried
up
to
transport
households
to
other
counties
where
there
is
Motel
capacity.
At
this
time
there
is
not
transportation
for
households
to
get
to
another
County
to
access
emergency,
motels,
so
I
think
that
that's
something
that
falls
to
nonprofits
a
lot
of
times,
they're
only
able
to
pay
one
way
you
know
of
that
Transportation
because
of
constraints,
but
then
we
also
think
about
people
who
have
jobs.
S
G
Zoning
and
the
unsustainability
of
that
both
for
us
in
terms
of
Financial
and
tax
dollars
that
come
from
a
single
family,
home
versus
almost
anything
else,
and
then
the
environmental
impact
of
our
housing
stock
being
built
for
household
sizes
that
are
much
much
larger
than
they
are
today
and
that
being
something
that
I
think
we
should
that
I
I
know
you're
looking
at
the
analysis,
but
I
still
want
to
say
it
yeah.
So
then,
just
back
to
the
question
of
how
much
this
is
the
base
work
for
Marvin
overhaul.
AI
We
want
to
you,
know,
balance
kind
of
the
scale
and
pattern
of
what
those
residences
look
like
what
those
buildings
look
like,
and
so
we're
definitely
thinking
more
on
that
end
of
kind
of
the
context-sensitive
tools
which
would
really
change
the
structure
of
our
ordinance.
But
not
you
know
require
rewriting
everything
A
to
Z.
N
G
And
then
my
second
Point
thank
you
Megan
is
around,
and
this
is,
if
we
I,
we
I,
don't
think
we
got
the
presentation.
So
if
you
all
would
be
willing
to
share
that
after
the
meeting
that
would
be
great
but
on
the
memo
is
turning
to
campus,
which
I
just
always
have
to
speak
to
as
the
award
one
City
councilor,
which
is
to
say
that,
which
everybody
has
heard
me
say,
but
I
will
say
it
again.
G
G
Don't
think
that
giving
that
without
some
protection
and
some
understanding
of
what
the
future
looks
like
is
a
smart
move
for
the
city
and
that's
just
a
comment,
not
a
question
and
then
one
more
thing
which
I
have
to
go
back
to
look,
oh
right,
which
is
the
houselessness
which
is
just
Sarah.
Thank
you
for
continuing
to
be
a
face
for
this
I
want
to
Echo.
G
Whoever
in
public
comments
say
that
it
actually
feels
really
good
and
like
we
can
be
really
proud
of
the
fact
that
this
is
something
that
we're
tackling
so
proactively
as
a
city
in
a
way
that
no
other
City
I've
lived
in,
has
really
done
and,
at
the
same
time,
I
think
that
this
is
really
really
important
to
make
a
priority
of
the
city.
This
is
something
that
should
be
highlighted
in
the
breakfast
we
have
with
legislators
if
we're
not
doing
a
special
meeting
just
on
that,
just
because
this
isn't
a
Burlington
problem.
G
A
Q
Thank
you,
president
Paul,
and
thank
you
all
for
really
an
amazing
presentation,
but
I
feel
like
I.
I
was
speed
dating
a
little
bit.
You
were
giving
me
so
much
and
I
know
that
we
all
have
limited
time
tonight,
but
I
think
it
will
take
me
hours
to
digest
that
and
I
Echo
councilor
hightower's
request
for
the
presentation,
because
I
think
I'm
going
to
have
to
both
review
this
video
and
also
the
the
presentation.
Q
I
have
many
questions,
but
I'll
I'll
hold
them
for
the
most
part.
I
I
do
want
to
Echo
counselor
hightower's
concern
about
building
housing
on
Trinity
campus,
even
down
in
in
Ward
5
in
the
South
South
District
I.
Think
that
there's
really
a
city-wide
concern
that
we're
going
to
just
allow
you
know
more
density
and
more
growth
on
campus
that
event,
because
they're
only
housing,
freshmen
and
sophomores.
That's
eventually
actually
going
to
bleed
more
into
the
off-campus
housing
crisis.
Q
That
I
understand
that
there
are
delays
and
and
maybe
benchmarks
and
dates,
weren't
met,
but
you
have
met
every
hurdle
and
there
are
unexpected
hurdles.
This
is
something
new
and
I
think
you
have
done
an
amazing
job,
but
with
regards
to
you
had
noted
the
that
they're
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
a
shelter
or
some
other
type
of
housing
facility
that
CHT
has
opening
in
Williston
and
I
wondered
if
that
is
a
congregate,
shelter
or
if
that's
more,
like
private
rooms.
Z
S
There
have
been
some
discussions
about
expansion
of
emergency
shelter
and
it's
something
that
the
Chittenden
County
homeless,
Alliance.
As
the
you
know,
sort
of
group
that
comes
together
to
talk
about
these
issues
has
been
discussing.
There's
also
some
Statewide
shelter
provider
calls
that
happen
around
how
to
expand
emergency
shelter.
I
think
one
of
the
challenges
is
that
we've
really
we've
we've
moved
from
a
congregate,
shelter
model
to
a
non-congregate
shelter
model
because
of
kovid,
and
also
because
that's
a
more
Humane.
You
know
respectful
method
of
emergency
shelter
to
provide
to
people.
S
So
I
think
that
it's
you
know
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
actually
provide
that
and
how
to
make
that
happen.
So
there
are
conversations
around
how
to
expand
emergency
shelter,
certainly
from
a
Statewide
perspective.
We've
fielded
many
calls
even
across
New
England
at
this
point
from
other
communities
that
are
really
excited
and
want
to.
You
know
want
to
glean
some
of
our
experience
from
from
setting
up
the
Elmwood,
Community
shelters.
S
A
We
will
close
this
item
and
move
on
to
item
number
five,
which
is
the
chittany
county,
regional,
Planning,
Commission
annual
report
for
FY
22,
and
for
this
report
we
have
with
us
very
patiently
waiting
for
us,
Charlie,
Baker
who's,
the
executive
director
of
the
ccrpc
and
our
Burlington
representative
to
the
regional
Planning,
Commission
and
former
city
councilor
Andy
Montreal,
thank
you
and
I
believe
and
and
Max
Schindler
as
well.
Thank
you
so
much
to
all
three
of
you
for
being
here
we're
looking
forward
to
your
presentation
and
the
floor
is
yours.
A
AM
The
first
page
of
the
report
I'm
just
going
to
review
this
briefly
and
then
happy
to
take
any
questions
or
discussion
on
any
of
the
topics.
The
first
page
of
the
report
kind
of
gives
you
background
on
the
regional
Planning
Commission
a
little
history,
our
board
membership,
how
we
leverage
Municipal
dues
to
bring
in
federal
and
state
funding
into
the
county
and
then
has
your
representatives
on
our
board
on
on
our
different
committees,
as
you
just
mentioned,
and
thank
you
to
Andy
and
Max
for
joining
me
here.
AM
As
part
of
that
Corridor
study,
we
did
with
you,
we
were
are
working
on
the
south
end,
multimodal
feasibility
study
there
and
a
number
of
other
Transportation
type
projects,
some
brownfields
stormwater
work
so
happy
to-
and
this
is
really
sorry
I
should
have
started
off
with.
This
is
kind
of
a
customer
service
call.
AM
You
know
we
do
provide
services
to
you
as
a
member
of
municipality
and
I
really
want
to
check
in
and
make
sure
we're
providing
services
in
the
way
that
you
expect
or
or
get
any
suggestions
for
how
we
can
improve
what
we
do.
So,
if
you
have
any
feedback
on
any
of
those
projects
or
how
our
staff
is
doing
by
you
or
how
we're
doing
by
you
happy
to
take
that
or
Andy
jump
in.
AN
Yeah
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
couple
other
projects
that
have
come
to
a
close
fairly
recently
ones
that
I'm
bringing
Amtrak
to
Burlington
between
New,
York
and
Burlington
I
mean
the
RPC
played
a
not
the
major
role
in
it.
You
know
there
were
many
others
who
did
it,
but
the
RPC,
certainly
you
know
kept
on
kept
abreast
of
what
was
going
on
participated
in
a
played.
You
know
at
different
times,
I
think
a
fairly
significant
role,
and
you
know
it's
really
great
to
see
that
it
had
come
here.
AN
Finally,
after
all
those
all
those
years
and
the
other
project
I
just
want
to
call
out-
is
the
Rotary
on
Shelburne
Road
when
I
left
the
council
in
2009.
We
had
just
voted
on
approving
that
project,
and
so
my
time
on
the
art
piece
you
know
from
the
council
to
being
on
the
RPC
really
kept
kept
track
of
what
was
going
on
with
that,
and
it
was
really
great
to
see
when
that
finally
broke
ground,
and
now
that
you
know
it's
all
fully
I
think
it's
awfully
open.
AN
They
may
close
it
every
now
and
then
still
to
do
some.
Some
final
work,
but
that
was
a
nice
project
to
see
finally
come
to
an
end
and
it
seems
like
it's
going
quite
smooth
and
and
I
have
to
say
you
know
there
were
a
lot
of
traffic
studies
done
back
then,
and
what
the
flow
would
be
like
and
I'm
just
sort
of
checking
in
and
saying.
AN
AM
Now
and
I
will
say
thank
you
for
finally
being
the
first
municipality
in
China
County
to
embrace
an
actual
roundabout
and
yet
for
anyone
listening
or
watching
the.
What
is
in
Winooski
is
not
around
about,
and
so
that
is
great
to
see
that
I've,
driven
through
that
a
few
times
as
well.
It's
great
that
the
city
supported
that
project
and
it's
finally
open
any
more
feedback
for
me
on
how
we're
doing
by
you.
AM
AM
The
state's
capital
program
for
transportation,
you
have
a
long
list
of
projects,
some
that
were
done
in
22,
like
the
roundabout
and
others
that
are
still
somewhere
in
the
program
for
funding
soon,
some
small
ones
and
some
big
ones
like
the
Champlain
Parkway
and
then
also
at
the
bottom
of
page
five
and
onto
page
six.
Our
projects
that
are
in
our
current
Year's
work
program
with
you
and
even
there's
one
that
we
are
working
on
getting
adding
to
it
in
our
mid-year
to
continue
work
on
the
south
end.
AM
I'll,
just
call
up
call
out
a
couple
of
those
one.
Is
you
probably
got
a
notice
about
our
legislative
breakfast
on
December
8th?
If
the
city
does
have
topics
that
you'd
like
us
to
bring
up
with
legislators
at
the
time?
Please
let
me
know
happy
to
do
that.
We
have
still,
in
the
beginning
stages
of
working
on
Equity,
appreciate,
Council,
hightower's
involvement
in
that
that's
much
appreciated
and
Building
Homes
together.
AM
I
felt
like
I
need
to
say
something
about
that,
since
you
just
spent
that
much
time
talking
about
what
the
city's
doing
on
housing
and
to
let
you
know,
we
did
set
a
county-wide
goal
of
5.
000,
really
appreciate
the
cities
trying
to
take
on
kind
of
your
proportionate
population,
share
of
25
percent
of
that
and
12.50,
and
also
that
we
do
continue
to
work
with
all
the
municipalities
in
Chittenden
County
on
housing,
and
you
got
just
a
little
bit
of
flavor
of
that
from
this
earlier
speakers.
AM
But
other
municipalities
in
Cheney
County
have
now
set
up.
Housing
committees
are
working
on
trust
funds
or
have
implemented
trust
fund
implementing
inclusionary
zoning,
so
the
city
is
Burlington,
certainly
has
been
in
the
Forefront
of
that
work.
But
I
want
you
to
know
the
other
municipalities
are
not
are
not
resting
on
their
Laurels
or
or
not
doing
anything.
I
guess
I
should
say
they
are
working
on
how
to
get
more
housing
in
other
municipalities.
So
and
there's
other
topics
here
but
I'll
leave
it
at
that
and
take
any
feedback
or
questions.
A
AJ
Well
well,
I
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that
really
comprehensive
report
and
the
links
to
the
other
documents
in
terms
of
the
legislative
breakfast
I
personally
and
I
think
that
our
transportation,
energy
and
utilities
committee
has
talked
and
will
continue
to
be
talking
about.
Transit
funding
and
you
guys
are
a
big
player
in
a
county-wide
need
to
find
a
sustainable
funding,
source
for
mass
transit
and
so
I
just
want
to
sort
of
start
with
that.
O
AJ
Yeah
always
yeah,
so
it
it
seems
that
we
really
do
need
to
to
have
that
in
a
comprehensive
and
ongoing
way.
You
know,
I
was
actually
struck
by
the
number
of
projects
that
you
did,
but
they're
they're,
really
particular
and
at
least
for
the
City
of
Burlington.
We've
got
nothing.
That's
overarching,
that's
comprehensive
and
is
ongoing.
AJ
So
we
can
get
into
public
education
about
TDM
and
about
the
the
data
collection
and
Analysis
that
we're
doing
and
that
we
can
do
so.
We
can
really
look
at
Travel
Behavior
and
not
just
of
people
who
are
living
here,
but
people
who
are
working
here,
people
who
are
coming
to
visit
here
tracking
those
changes
over
time
and
really
looking
at
how
folks
respond
to
the
external
pressures,
be
they
gas
price
hikes
or
our
own
policy
changes
and
Investments.
AJ
AM
We
are
in
the
process
of
developing
our
Metropolitan
Transportation
plan,
which
is
really
a
transportation
plan
for
the
county
right
now,
kind
of
building
and
I
think
a
lot
of
those
types
of
issues
might
be
able
to
be
addressed.
There
I
think
some
of
what
you're
getting
at
is
even
like
scenarios
like
what,
if
we
double
the
zoning
in
different
parts
of
town
or
and
what
kind
of
impacts
do
they
have.
AM
That
is
something
I
think
if
the
city
wanted
us
to
dig
in
more
to
that
kind
of
thing,
we're
happy
to
do
that
and
I
I
will
kind
of
note
that
you
kind
of
called
attention
to
the
house
specific.
A
lot
of
these
efforts
have
been
like
last
year,
My
Hope
Is
that
they
are
actually
implementing
a
broader
plan
that
the
city
has,
and
so
what
you
see
us
investing
our
time
and
money
in
is
projects
that
the
city's
asked
us
to
follow
up
on
so
they're,
not
in
isolation,
I,
hope
and
I.
AM
Think
that's
maybe
a
question
for
both
the
city
and
for
us
and
how
we
work
together
on
you,
know,
kind
of
comprehensive
planning
or
Transportation
Planning
and
then
making
sure
we're
borrowing
in
that
same
direction,
so
happy
to
continue
those
conversations.
Everything
you
said
is
consistent
with
what
I
know
about
our
work
so
excellent.
AM
A
H
H
H
And
for
the
person
who
is
just
speaking
about
the
roundabout
and
also
about
Tony
Reddington,
you
know
I
think
that
maybe
there
are
talks
around.
You
know
the
city
that
maybe
that
roundabout
could
be
named
as
the
Tony
Reddington
roundabout
I
think
it
will.
It
will
be
great
because
he
has
demonstrated
commitment
to
the
safety
and
well-being
of
all
the
people
in
the
City
of
Burlington
and
I,
don't
know
about
the
process,
but
maybe
also
to
bring
that
to
Turks
for
more
consideration
and
and
exploration
as
well.
H
But
I
wanted
to
also
ask
you
to
maybe
consider
and
we'll
invite
you
to
talk
more
about
the
Burlington
racial
Equity
analysis
of
the
of
CD
project,
because
I
don't
know
what
it
entails,
but
based
on
how
I'm
reading
it
I'm
really
really
concerned,
and
maybe
can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
what
it
entails?
Please.
H
You
know
some
type
of
leadership
from
your
organization
and
collaboration
with
the
city
and
all
the
municipalities
to
do
something
meaningful
for
the
safety
and
well-being
of
newcomers
and
also,
as
part
of
your
report,
I
could
not
see
anything
about.
You
know
the
opiate
crisis,
which
is
also
and
I,
know
that
you,
you
are
involved
somewhat
with
the
city,
but
I
would
love
to
see
what
you
guys
are
doing
in
advancing
this
issue
as
well
as
well
as
homelessness
as
well.
I
mean
I.
H
AM
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that.
I
I
should
probably
address
that
the
the
bigger
subject
you
just
raised
about.
Why
aren't
we
more
involved
in
Social
Service
issues,
and
it
really
goes
back
to
what
our
organization
was
created
for,
which
is
to
really
focus
on
place-based
planning,
and
so
we
get
and
the
way
our
funding
streams
work.
We
don't
get.
We
don't
have
any
general
taxation
Authority
or
anything
like
that.
AM
So
we
don't
really
have
a
lot
of
funding
to
deal
with
other
types
of
issues
we
kind
of
get
into
a
little
bit
and
actually
our
work
in
the
opioid
work
was
really
through
some
specific
agreements
that
we
had
going
back
a
few
years
that
the
medical
center,
United,
Way
and
I
think
the
state
funded.
But
it
was
for
a
short
period
of
time
that
we
helped
support
that
staff
person
that
was
working
on
that
and
that
contract
ended.
AM
So
our
work
ended
so
I'm
not
saying
that
we
can't
I'm
just
saying
that
we
kind
of
you
know
get.
If
we
get
funded
to
do
something,
then
we
can
work
on
it
and
there's
some
there's
some
overlapping
issues
here,
right,
we're
able
to
get
into
the
equity
work
a
little
bit
because
Federal
Highway
funding
and
particularly
President
Biden's
justice,
40
initiative,
has
kind
of
said.
A
Thank
you,
and
thanks
for
speaking
up
I,
my
apologies
for
not
seeing
you
does
not
appear
that
we
have
anyone
else
in
the
queue
just
gives
me
another
opportunity
to
say
thank
you
to
all
three
of
you
for
being
here
and
being
patient
and
and
and
waiting
for
us,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
your
work.
Thank
you.
A
A
B
A
Thank
you,
councilor
McGee
seconded
by
councilor
Travers.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
that
item,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
moving
the
consent
agenda?
Please
say
I
I
any
opposed.
Please
say
no.
We've
approved
our
consent
agenda
and
before
we
get
to
the
deliberative
agenda,
we
have
three
other
meetings
that
we
need
to
attend
to
this
evening.
The
first
is
the
local
cannabis,
Control
Commission,
then
the
board
of
civil
Authority
and
the
board
of
abatement
of
taxes.
A
O
A
A
I
wouldn't
say
that
it's
been
our
practice
because
we
only
have
done
this
once,
but
we
will
try
to
make
this
our
practice
that
we
do
have
some
of
the
applicants
that
at
least
one
perhaps
others
who
are
with
us
this
evening.
One
of
them
I
know
is
available
by
zoom
and
there
may
be
others
that
are
here
as
well,
and
what
we've
done
in
the
past
is
that,
while
applicants
are
under
no
obligation
to
disclose
any
information
other
than
what
is
listed
on
board
docs,
we
would
invite
you
to
come
forward.
A
Introduce
yourselves,
maybe
give
yourself
a
little
bit
of
free
advertising
and
and
give
us
some
information.
If
you
would
like
about
your
business,
your
your
location-
and
you
know
other
other
information
that
you
would
like
to
share
with
the
community.
So
again,
no
one
is
under
any
obligation
to
do
so.
But
if
you
would
like
to
please
come
forward,
if
you
would
like
to
do
that.
A
AO

A
AO
N
AO
I
am
the
mother
of
four
children.
I
am
a
a
100
black
female
owned
dispensary
and
am
in
the
pre-approval
through
the
state,
and
my
application
process
have
ticked
most
of
the
boxes,
except
I'm,
still
kind
of
judging
up
the
place.
It's
it's
been
a
staple
in
the
community
that
building
for
way
before
I
came
along.
So
it's
taken
me
a
bit
longer.
AO
I
am
you
know,
like
I
said
you
know,
I
don't
have
any
corporate
backing
or
anything
like
that,
so
it's
taking
a
tad
longer
to
make
it
beautiful,
but
I
have
engaged
with
quite
a
few
of
the
Neighbors
in
the
community
on
that.
You
know
on
the
street
particularly
and
help
to
try
and
meet
them
in
a
happy
place.
Regarding
you
know
some
of
their
concerns,
which
were
very
reasonable
and
realistic
concerns
and
I
think
we've
all
found
a
very
happy
coexistence.
AO
A
AP
Well,
I
want
to
thank
the
city
council
for
having
me
back.
I've
been
across
the
street
for
a
few
years
and
I've
just
been
approved
for
cannabis.
Retail
license
I
was
I'm
the
CBD
store
across
the
alley
here
at
greens,
Greenleaf
Central
right
in
thoughts
and
way
and
I've
been
here
for
four
years,
and
it's
been
an
exciting
roadway.
AP
Getting
to
this
point
and
I
plan
to
bring
very
good
quality
cannabis
to
Burlington
I
plan
to
hire
a
lot
of
people,
give
them
an
opportunity
to
engage
in
this
business
and
I've
provided
a
very
safe
environment,
and
my
goal
is
to
just
make
this
a
success.
It's
been
a
very
hard
Road
way
to
get
through
and
I'm
very
glad
that
the
city
is
embracing
this
and
giving
us
an
opportunity
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all.
AQ
AQ
We
pride
ourselves
on
being
you
know,
maybe
the
the
in
my
opinion,
the
best
way
you
can
possibly
grow
cannabis
indoors.
No-Till
with
LEDs
recaptured
water
from
reclaim
right
out
of
the
air
I
mean
every
every.
Every
way
we
can
make
it
the
best
it
could
possibly
be
and
and
to
deliver
the
finest
product
plus
we
have
some
social
Equity
hires
in
our
company
and
and
really
proud
ourselves
on
being
a
a
really
important
part
of
the
community
and.
AQ
Enjoyed
the
mayor
meetings,
lately,
I
love
being
involved
in,
what's
going
on
and
and
what
a
journey
it's
been
I
mean:
I
I
stopped
blowing
glass,
I
was
a
glass
artist
by
trade
and
about
seven
years
ago,
I
stopped
doing
that
to
focus
on
this
journey
full
time
and
what
a
journey
it's
been.
It's
almost
here,
it's
it's
finally,
finally
time
so.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
this
opportunity
and
we'll
make
you
proud.
A
Wonderful,
thank
you
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
all
three
of
you
for
for
coming
forward
and
letting
us
know
about
your
business,
we'll
go
to
motions
for
the
application,
so
the
first
application
in
is
item
2.01
for
burn
Legacy
cannabis.
For
this
item.
I'll
go
to
commissioner
Shannon
for
a
motion
need
to
approve
and
recommend
to
the
to
the
Cannabis
control.
Q
Q
A
A
Think
that's
correct.
That
is,
that
is
what
the
recommended
action
is
so
I'm,
assuming
that
that
is
correct.
So
thank
you
for
the
motion.
We
just
need
a
second
seconded
by
commissioner
Travers.
Is
there
any
discussion
or
we
have
the
applicants
that
are
all
here?
If
there's
any
questions
or
any
discussion
on
the
motion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
is
made
by
commissioner
Shannon,
please
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Please
say
no!
A
Thank
you,
commissioner,
Shannon
seconded
by
commissioner
Travers
any
discussion
on
this
motion.
Seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
as
made
by
commissioner
Shannon,
please
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed,
please
say
no
and
that
motion
passes,
which
brings
us
to
the
third
application,
which
is
item
2.03,
an
application
for
Greenleaf
Central
I'll
return
back
to
commissioner
Shannon
for
the
motion.
A
L
This
is
not
a
discussion
with
respect
to
the
applicant
in
particular
I
suppose.
I
just
wanted
to
use
this
opportunity
here
briefly
with
the
full
commission
and
the
full
Council
here
to
speak
to
my
experience
on
the
subcommittee
thus
far
with
respect
to
the
local
cannabis
Control
Commission
I
have
been
a
bit
surprised
to
find
particularly
relative
to
what
our
local
Authority
is
over
liquor
establishments.
L
How
limited
our
Authority
locally
is
with
respect
to
retail
cannabis
establishments
as
we
look
towards
the
city's
legislative
agenda
in
the
coming
legislative
session.
I
would
really
like
for
us,
as
a
council
and
as
a
city,
to
look
into
whether
or
not
it's
worth
advocating
at
the
state
level
for
the
state
to
provide
municipalities,
greater
flexibility
with
respect
to
cannabis
applications
like
that
with
respect
to
liquor
establishments,
because
without
that
you
know,
I'm
frankly
left
wondering
what
the
purpose
is
of
the
local
cannabis
Control
Commission.
L
L
But
if
we
were
left
with
any
concerns
about
the
types
of
things
that
we're
able
to
work
on
with
liquor
establishments
like
hours
of
operation,
for
example,
there's
nothing.
This
commission
can
do
so.
I
I
would
really
like
for
us
to
take
a
look
at
that
and
if
we
really
don't
have
any
Authority
whatsoever,
I
just
want
to
put
this
out
there.
Now
that
I
I
question
whether
or
not
we
really
should
even
have
a
local
cannabis.
Control
Commission
with
that
I
I.
Do
strongly
support
this
application
so.
Q
What
its
name
is.
That
would
all
be
really
helpful
because
it's
a
bit
of
a
farce
to
look
at
these
applications
that
are
entirely
redacted
and
to
sit
at
this
table
and
no,
we
do
not
have
an
option
of
voting.
No
I,
don't
really
like
to
vote
at
all.
If
I
don't
have
a
no
option
or
a
maybe
or
something
other
than
yes,
but
like
counselor,
Traverse
I
completely
support
these
applications
and
hope
nobody
votes.
No,
because
we
don't
know
what
happens.

You
thank
you
mayor
Weinberger,
so
we'll
we

14..

first
two

applications.
The

is
tobacco,
license
application
for

this
item,

A
Any
opposed,

say
no

motion
passes

brings
us

9.03,

is
a
resolution,
the
ratification
of
a
tentative
agreement

bargaining

City
leadership
in
the
union
for
the
actions
that
brought
us
here
today.
It
was
a
long
process
but
respectful
from
both
sides
and
Cooperative
to
get
through
any
hurdles
that
we
had.
So
we
appreciate
the
Labor
Management
relationship
that
we've
established
over
the
years
and
that
we
continue
and
the
support
that
we
receive
from
the
city
and
from
the
council.
Thank
you.
AT
AT
This
was
not
an
easy
process.
Both
sides
had
big
items
that
they
wanted
to
move
forward
and
we
had
hiccups
as
well
I'm
sure,
as
you
all
know,
Chief
Locke,
former
Chief,
lock
abruptly
resigned
sort
of
in
the
middle
of
the
negotiations.
We
lost
the
assistant,
City
attorney
that
was
representing
the
city
in
the
middle
of
negotiations.
AT
AT
That
I
think
is
a
win
for
both
the
city
and
the
union,
and
that's
not
something
that,
in
my
experience
with
contract
negotiations,
the
collaborative
process
and
to
Echo
once
again
acting
Chief
Libby.
The
respect
that
both
sides
sort
of
had
and
worked
collaboratively
to
find
solutions
to
problems
that
fit
the
needs
of
the
community.
The
needs
of
the
municipality
and
the
needs
of
the
employees
is
huge.
AT
AT
A
A
J
Looking
back
at
the
last
decade,
we
now
have
had
three
straight
bargaining
rounds
where
they're
all
four
of
the
contracts
have
been
resolved
at
the
bargaining
table
without
having
to
resort
to
to
our
dispute
resolution
system
arbitration,
which
I've
never
gone
back
and
and
done
the
analysis
exactly.
But
my
understanding
is
that
was
quite
unusual
and
quite
rare
in
the
Years
prior
to
these
three
contracts
and
I
really
want
to
thank
the
the
current
team
that
made
made
that
possible
this.
J
This
last
round,
Catherine
and
they've
been
thanked
already,
but
I'll
say
Catherine
Karen
Jared,
who
are
here
with
us
tonight.
Also
John
Maitland
played
a
big
role
as
outside
Council
in
two
of
the
contracts
and
the
department
heads
in
each
of
the
three
contracts,
including
Chief
Libby.
On
this,
one
also
worked
hard
to
to
get
us
these
outcomes,
so
it
is
welcome.
O
J
A
AR
A
A
So
our
last
three
items
on
our
deliberative
agenda
are
all
Charter
changes.
The
first
of
the
three
is
item
9.04
resolution,
March
7,
2023,
annual
City
meeting,
a
charter
change
regarding
qualification
of
Voters
and
citing
a
polling
places
and
for
this
item
I
will
turn
to
the
chair
of
our
Charter
change
committee,
councilor
Bergman,
for
a
motion
and
then
an
explanation.
If
you
will
counselor
Bergman
so.
AJ
A
AJ
AJ
AJ
You
know
it's
sort
of
not
rocket
science,
but
sometimes
not
done
by
governments
to
consult
the
people
that
actually
have
to
do
the
work.
So
I
am
I'm
pleased
to
to
bring
this
in
front
of
you
as
the
first
of
three
and
I
want
to
just
end
by
thanking
not
only
councilor
Carpenter
counselor
Traverse
for
the
for
the
for
the
hard
work
that
we
that
we
did
because
we
met
a
lot.
You
would
not
get
these
Charter
changes.
If
we
met
once
a
month,
we
did
not.
AJ
We
met
an
awful
lot.
You
heard
a
lot
of
reports
and
I
think
that
the
product
that
we've
gotten
you
on
all
three
is
a
testament
to
the
the
seriousness
that
everybody
staff
and
counselors
and
the
public
took
to
to
Bringing
forward.
This
I
think
very
important
piece
of
the
Democratic
process,
so
I
hope
we
can
get
a
unanimous
vote
on
this.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Bergman
I
just
also
wanted
to
note
that
we
have
acting
acting
City,
Attorney
Kim
Sturtevant
with
us.
If
there
are
any
questions
regarding
the
the
charter
change
that
would
be
best
served
by
our
acting
City
attorney.
Answering
them
are
there
counselors
who
have
questions
or
comments
on
this
resolution.
O
A
A
AJ
I
also
want
to
to
thank
Sarah,
Montgomery
and
Jillian
Natan
from
the
assistant,
one
of
the
citizens,
directors
at
ceto,
for
the
work
that
has
been
done
on
this
site.
I
have
to
say
that
Jillian
has
done
an
amazing
work
of
the
the
public
engagement
and
we'll
continue
there.
They
were
absolutely
committed
to
informing
the
entire
city
in
every
way
possible
of
this.
AJ
L
Thank
you,
president
Paul,
and
thank
you
for
that
explanation.
Councilor
Bergman.
By
means
of
explanation
for
this
amendment.
As
a
charter
change
committee,
we
agreed
on
the
language
that
we
voted
on
very
early
on
in
this
process
before
we
had
agreed
on
the
language
that
we
just
voted
on.
With
respect
to
introducing
flexibility
with
respect
to
the
the
sighting
of
polling
places,
we
agreed
on
the
language
very
early
on
and
spent
really
months.
L
As
committee
members,
we
went
to
all
of
the
npas
to
meet
with
folks
I
think
it's
a
real
example
of
how
we
can
engage
the
public
going
forward
on
these
matters
of
of
public
importance
for
folks
who
are
tuned
in
here.
There's
a
great
website:
that's
up
on
the
Burlington
website,
burlingtonvt.gov
all
legal
resident
voting
that
provides
really
all
the
information
that
you
need
with
respect
to
this
matter
and
including
a
history
of
how
we've
gotten
here,
there's
a
frequently
asked
questions
which
are
which
our
committee
worked
on.
L
That's
been
translated
into
six
different
languages
on
the
website
as
well,
so
I
certainly
would
direct
people
in
that
in
that
direction.
The
procedural
complication
that
councilor
Bergman
spoke
to
is
that
we
do
need
to
make
a
relatively
minor
Amendment
to
the
matter.
That's
before
us
now
to
align
the
language
with
the
suggested
amendments
and
introducing
more
flexibility
to
the
sighting
of
polling
places.
A
Well,
you
didn't
even
give
me
a
chance
to
get
a
second
Ed
by
account,
so
emotion,
motion
to
amend
is
made
by
councilor
Travers
and
seconded
by
councilor.
Bergman
I
will
assume
that.
Is
it
fair
to
assume
councilor
Bergman
that
your
desire
to
Second
the
amendment
means
that
the
amendment
is
friendly
to
you
totally.
A
So
we
do
allow
friendly
amendments
now,
and
that
means
that
we
don't
need
to
vote
on
on
the
on
this
fairly
procedural
issue
brings
us
back
to
the
resolution
as
amended
councilor
Bergman.
Did
you
want
the
floor
back
at
no?
No
okay.
Are
there
other
counselors
who
have
questions
or
comments
on
the
amended
resolution.
A
AP
A
Motion
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
all
of
your
work
on
this
and
for
keeping
us
so
so
well
informed
as
you
were
moving
through
this
process.
That
brings
us
to
the
last
item
on
our
deliberative
agenda
and
the
last
of
the
three
Charter
items,
which
is
9.05
a
resolution:
March
7
2023
annual
City
meeting
a
charter
change
regarding
ranked
Choice
voting
for
mayoral
School,
commissioner
and
Ward
election
officer
elections
and
I
will
return
to
councilor
Bergman
for
a
motion.
AJ
A
AJ
We've
got
the
time
to
to
do
this.
Now
it
will.
If
it
is
adopted
by
the
legislature
after
being
approved
by
the
city
of
Voters,
then
there
will
be
a
whole
year
went
well,
maybe
not
a
year.
Probably
six
months
where
people
will
have
an
opportunity
to
weigh
their
choices
as
to
whether
to
run
who
to
support
how
that
whole
process
is
going
to
work,
I
am
not
going
to
go
through
the
Litany
of
reasons
as
to
why
ranked
Choice
voting
makes
sense.
AJ
I
think
it
all
of
those
reasons-
and
we
heard
that
from
the
vperk
representative
this
this
evening
are-
are
true
and
fair,
and
right
and
I
personally
would
like
the
voters
of
the
City
of
Burlington
to
have
an
opportunity
to
to
vote
on
this.
This
coming,
March
I
would
note
that
the
committee
did
amend
the
version
that
the
council
had
looked
at
in
I
think
it
is
two
fundamental
ways.
The
first
I
think
is
that
we
did
add
the
school
Commissioners
and
the
and
the
ward
election
officials.
AJ
AJ
So
not
just
that
I
was
you
know
in
elementary
school,
but
for
the
50
years
that
I
have
been
voting
in
the
City
of
Burlington.
I
actually
cannot
recall
a
three-way
race
for
school
board
or
Ward
Clerk
or
inspector
of
election.
So
while
the
likelihood
is
present
I,
don't
think
it
is
great
for
those
I
I
say
that
the
I'm
trying
to
now
remember
the
other
big
change
that
that.
O
AJ
A
A
A
AR
AR
AR
AR
AR
AR
AR
AR
AR
A
A
Q
Thank
you,
so
I
just
want
to
go
through
a
little
bit
of
history
with
this
I
actually
reached
out
to
Progressive
counselors
to
bring
this
forward
for
the
mayoral
election,
and
it
was
my
initiative
to
to
bring
this
forward
and
it
was
welcomed.
I
would
say
by
by
my
Progressive
colleagues,
I
had
talked
with
councilor
Hanson
about
this.
We
had
talked
about
including
School
Commissioners.
We
had
agreed
that
school
Commissioners
wouldn't
be
included
in
it
at
the
time
that
we
sent
this
to
the
Charter
change
committee.
Q
Q
Q
The
School
Commissioners
did
not
come
to
the
meetings
because
they
were
in
the
middle
of
trying
to
get
the
school
bond
passed,
which
was
a
Herculean
effort
and
credit
to
them,
and
so,
when
I
reached
out,
when
I
saw
this
on
the
agenda,
I
reached
out
to
my
school
Commissioners
to
see
what
they
thought
about.
This
I
found
out
that
they
had
not
been
able
to
weigh
in
and
I.
Q
Don't
think
that
it
is
fair
to
put
them
on
here
without
having
the
opportunity
to
weigh
in
and
I
I
heard
from
from
one
initially
who
was
not
supportive
of
it.
I
heard
from
another
who
was
supportive
but
concerned
about
the
lack
of
lack
of
discussion
and
taking
any
position
really
for
or
against
without
having
that
discussion.
Q
Q
So
I
am
comfortable
moving
forward
with
the
mayor
at
this
time,
but
I
would
ask
the
council
to
consider
removing
School,
Commissioners
and
Board
election
officers
in
the
in
we're
trying
to
think
of
a
South,
District
or
Ward
five
I
think
it
was
Ward
five
really.
Just
a
few
years
ago
we
had
a
three-way
race
for
school
commission,
so
it
it
does
happen.
It
has
happened
recently,
it's
not
with
having,
without
having
consequences
on
the
school
board.
A
G
And
to
add
some
count
context
to
counselor
Shannon's
context
is
the
original
proposal
that
was
brought
to
the
council
did
include
the
mayor
and
it
was
taken
out
in
order
to
win
specifically
counselor
Shannon's
vote.
So
this
is
an
a
this.
This
is
some
to
some
extent.
A
return
to
the
original
proposal.
I
do
I
will
not
be
supporting
that
Amendment.
Although
I'd
very
much
appreciate
the
spirit
of
where
it
comes
from
I.
G
Don't
think
that
it
was
the
intent
of
the
charter
change
committee
to
not
invite
feedback
I
think
it
is
because
the
school
board
was
so
extremely
busy
with
an
important
item
that
they
had
on
the
ballot
I.
Fundamentally,
don't
I
I
think
that
our
recommendation
to
the
public
should
be
that
it
is
all
of
the
offices
again
for
simplicity's
sake
and
if,
for
some
reason,
it
I
think
we
should
now
do
that
outrage.
G
Now
that
the
vote
is
over
in
the
school
board
isn't
as
busy
and
if
they
are
unanimous
and
thinking
that
this
shouldn't
go
through
I'm
happy
to
change.
I
will
commit
now
to
saying
that
I
will
support
the
change
but
I
think
if
it's
mixed
results,
I
I
mean
I,
don't
see
it
I,
don't
or
even
not
Universe.
G
I
think
that
a
School
Board
race,
it's
the
same
thing
it's
like.
Maybe
we
would
have
more
three-way
races
if
folks
had
didn't
worry
about
the
spoiler
effect
and
I
would
welcome
seeing
more
three-person
races
for
a
school
board
or
any
other
position.
So
I
would
suggest
that
we
move
forward
with
what
we
think
is
the
best
version,
and
then,
if
we
are
otherwise
I'm
happy
to
commit
that,
if
the
vast
majority
of
the
school
board
doesn't
feel
good
about
it
to
remove
it.
Thank
you.
A
AJ
But
at
this
point
it
makes
the
most
sense
and
the
conversation
that
we
had
really
indicated
that
in
the
committee
is,
it
makes
the
most
sense
that
all
City
elected
elected
officials
be
elected
under
the
same
process.
I
know
at
least
one
Board
election
official,
who
I'm
sure
would
be
is
in
favor
of
this.
AJ
A
L
The
post
method
didn't
seem
to
make
much
sense,
other
reason
being
that
if,
after
this
proposed
Charter
change,
we
did
want
to
down
the
line,
add
school
board
members
or
award
election
officials,
of
course,
because
this
is
in
the
charter.
What
that
would
mean
is
a
third
Charter
change
question
going
to
voters
in
you
know
basically,
as
many
years
first
for
city
council,
then
for
mayoral
than
for
school
board
members
and
award
election
officials.
L
All
that
said,
and
when
we
get
back
to
the
main
resolution,
I
will
speak
to
this
I.
I
will
be
honest
in
saying
that
I
did
not
anticipate
the
question
of
ranked
Choice
voting
in
mayoral
elections
would
be
coming
back
before
our
committee
this
year
and
while
we
did
have
an
opportunity
and
met
a
number
of
times
over
three
meetings.
L
But
I
I
will
be
supporting
this
amendment
because
I,
whereas
I
I
voted
in
favor
of
favor
of
it
before
the
committee
I've
heard
from
enough
folks
who
feel
they
haven't
had
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
yet
that
I
will
be
supporting
this
amendment
and
if
the
language
is
removed
would
still
welcome
folks
to
come
from
to
the
public
hearing
and
would
be
open
to
putting
it
back
in
at
that
point
in
time.
But
think
this
is
the
right
step
to
take.
Thank
you.
A
H
No
problem,
thank
you,
president
Paul
and
I
think
that
I
may
have
been
the
only
city
council
who
did
not
support
the
last
RCV
for
city
council
only
because
I
did
not
support
it
because
it
did
not
include
the
mayor,
which
I
think
is
the
most
important
seat
in
the
city
and
before
the
city
council.
We
should
have
even
start
with
the
mayor
first
and
see
how
it
will
play
out
and
I
do
believe
that
it
is.
H
This
is
not
about
the
current
city
councils,
it's
not
about
the
current
mail
or
current
Commissioners,
but
it
is
about
our
legislative
body
and
how
do
we
bring
a
method
of
clarity,
a
voting
method
that
is
very
clear
and
also
consistent
and,
from
my
perspective,
this
resolution
as
it
is.
It
does
just
that.
So
we
have
the
mayor.
H
We
have
the
city
council,
we
have
Commissioners,
we
have
people
conducting
the
elections
and
I
think
it
is
really
consistent
to
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
here,
consistency
matter
and
from
my
perspective,
Commissioners
if
they
did
not
have
the
opportunity
to
wait
and
they
had
so
many
different
opportunities,
basically
for
the
second
reading.
First
reading
to
weigh
in
but-
and
actually
it's
not
about
them
also,
but
it
is
about
giving
the
voters
the
the
choice
to
vote
around
what
they
think
will
matter
and
I
think
for
the
new
American
communities.
H
This
will
bring
some
level
of
clarity.
Why
should
I
vote
this
way
on
the
same
ballot
like
this
and
the
other
ballot
items
and
the
order
basically
sits?
I
am
voting
differently,
I.
Think
it's
not
consistent.
It's
confusing
reason
why
I
will
not
be
voting
in
support
for
this
amendment.
Thank
you.

We
already
have
a
runoff
system
in
our
current
Charter
in
our
mayoral
elections,
we've
heard
vigorous
debate
in
front
of
the
charter
change
committee
and
the
ordinance
committee
mind
you
about
whether
or
not
we're
using
the
right
tabulation
system
with
ranked
Choice
voting,
and
you
could
continue
the
debate
over
a
number
of
those
items.
From
my
perspective,
though,
we're
not
being
asked
whether
or
not
we
support
ranked
Choice
voting
in
mayoral
elections.
L
Now,
nonetheless,
it
is
and
we're
being
asked
now,
whether
or
not
Burlington
voters
should
weigh
in
on
this.
I
was
not
a
member
of
the
city
council
when
that
compromise
was
made
with
respect
to
city
council
elections
first
and
and
then
mayoral
and
since
I've
joined
the
council,
I've
heard
from
many
of
my
ward
5
constituents
who
want
the
opportunity
to
weigh
in
on
this
issue
and
I'm.

Q
Go
thank
you.
Councilor
Bergman
I
may
return
the
favor
someday
this
is.
This
is
a
hard
moment
for
me
that
I
didn't
expect
to
come
to
it.
Wasn't
until
today
that
I
found
out
that
the
school
board
really
hadn't,
weighed
in
on
this
and
I,
didn't
expect
my
colleagues
to
be
so
insistent
on
including
them.
Despite
that,
I,
don't
think
that
the
way
to
approach
this
is
to
make
the
decision
and
then
ask
for
input
through
the
public
hearing
process,
especially
not
with
this
is.
Q
This
is
not
just
members
of
the
public
that
haven't
weighed
in
on
this.
This
is
the
school
board.
Members
themselves
that
are
affected
and
I
am
in
the
very
awkward
position
of
feeling
very
strongly
about
this
issue.
About
wanting
to
see
ranked
Choice
voting
be
implemented
here
in
a
somewhat
incremental
way,
but
to
bring
in
the
mayor's
race
is
extremely
important
to
me.

Thank
you,
president
Paul.
The
last
couple
weeks
have
been
a
period
in
which
we've
seen
a
really
large
number
of
long-term
projects
hit
key
milestones.
I
want
to
particularly
thank
the
DPW
team
under
leadership
of
director
Chapin
Spencer
for
their
leadership
role
in
this
they're,
not
the
only
Department.
That's
contributed
to
it,
certainly
Samantha
Dunn
from
cedo,
and
has
played
a
big
role
in
some
of
these
projects
at
Burlington
electric
Department.
J
Almost
there
are
many
aspects
of
the
city
that
have
been
involved,
but
just
to
to
to
summarize,
we
are
under
construction
now
at
CityPlace,
following
the
council's
vote
last
time
in
the
special
meeting
that
we
had
just
over
two
weeks
ago,
the
that
project
is
now
underway
and
picking
up
steam
if
you've
been
by
the
site.
Recently,
the
Shelburne
roundabout
was
open
last
week
appreciated
having
president
Paul
join
us
president
Paul
this
project
she
had
personally
championed
for
a
long
time.
