and

Thank

agenda
review
is

any

We

a
couple
of
numbers.
We

Okay,
public
comments
is
next.
A
A
Okay,
seeing
no
public
comment
we'll
move
on
to
our
consent
agenda.
We
have
our
Council
minutes
from
10
17.
the
accounts
payable
warrant
from
11.3
payrolls
for
October
and
subsequent
to
payout
for
September,
and
the
inclusion
and
belonging
commission
appointments
updates
that
we
discussed
in
our
last
meeting
any
questions
comments
do
I,
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda.
Second,.
B
B
B
Sure
my
report
is
really
just
on
the
Halloween
celebration
that
went
fantastically
well,
I
believe
Meredith
and
some
other
staff
noted
that
it
was
the
most
people
that
we've
ever
seen
turn
out
of
the
pumpkins,
which
kind
of
continued
throughout
the
weekend,
which
was
really
great,
but
I
specifically
want
to
take
this
time.
Just
to
thank
everybody
who
volunteered
to
either
pick
up,
pumpkins
carve
pumpkins
light
pumpkins.
B
C
So
the
Housing
Commission
meet
Housing
Commission,
met
the
on
October
24th
and
started
its
review
of
the
public
building
registry
related
to
housing
quality
and
how
we
do
inspections
for
life
and
life,
safety
and
health
issues
in
the
city
for
rentals
and
Commercial
properties.
So
we
had
a
pretty
extensive
walk
through
with
Chief
ADI
of
the
checklist
that
they
use
for
property
complaints.
C
So
all
the
different
aspects
of
fire
code,
electrical
code,
Vermont
rental
housing
code
and
other
items
that
are
checked
on
the
rental
as
or
a
property
inspection
for
compliance
and
talked
about
some
of
those
that
might
need
some
updating
or
work
here
by
the
commission.
So
it
was
a
good
long
conversation
on
where
we
can
use
enforcement
where
we
might
need
education
and
that
conversation
will
continue
over
the
next
couple
of
meetings.
C
At
the
next
meeting,
the
Housing
Commission
is
going
to
focus
on
what
happens
when
a
violation
is
found
and
what
we
have
in
what
tools
we
have
in
ordinance
to
deal
with
an
inspection
or
sorry.
A
violation
after
it's
been
discovered.
So
that'll
be
a
good
opportunity
to
dig
into
that
side
of
the
supports
that
the
city
has
for
rental
housing
in
the
city
because
of
the
Thanksgiving
holiday.
A
A
D
Great

G
A
A
H
To
report
in
your
packet
I'm
just
going
to
briefly
review
it,
but
this
is
mostly
a
customer
service
check-in
to
see
how
our
services
are
for
you,
how
it's
working
if
we
can
do
anything
better.
Oh
sorry,
thank
you
slide,
but
the
first
page
of
the
record
really
gives
you
some
background
on
the
regional
Planning
Commission
our
board
membership
a
little
bit
on
our
finances
and
how
we
work
with
your
local
dues
to
bring
in
state
and
federal
funds
at
the
bottom.
H
H
Moving
on
to
the
second
page,
our
specific
projects
that
we
worked
on
with
the
city
in
FY
22
I'm,
going
to
review
all
of
these,
but
traffic
dominating
and
parking
and
water
quality,
some
brownfields
work
and
just
other
data
and
other
information,
including
aluminum,
helps
you
get
the
raise
Grant
here
for
your
big
bridge,
so
that'll
be
exciting.
Coming
up
and
any
questions
or
feedback
for
me
on
any
of
those
projects
or
efforts.
H
In
the
middle
of
the
third
page,
are
the
few
projects
that
you
have
in
the
state's
capital
program
for
transportation
that
are
also
in
our
transportation
Improvement
program
and
the
the
windscreen
bridge
is
going
to
be
added
to
that
very
soon.
So
that's
coming
and
then
down
at
the
bottom
of
that
and
on
to
the
top
page.
H
Four
are
the
things
that
are
in
this
year's
work
program
that
we're
working
with
you
or
starting
I
think
the
windski
bike
head
master
plan,
probably
one
of
the
big
projects
coming
up
in
the
next
few
months
and
and
then
the
last
few
pages
have
a
lot
of
different
things
that
we
do
without
regard
to
any
specific
Municipality
of
regional
activities,
including
the
legislative
briefing
coming
up,
December
8th
and
we
have
issues
that
we'd
like
to
have
addressed
with
legislators.
Please
let
us
know
or
let
Mike
know
to
let
us
know.
H
We
continue
to
work
on
Equity
issues
that
are
getting
our
Equity
advisory
committee,
kind
of
or
somewhere
between
the
storming
forming
stages
and
Building
Homes.
Together
we
had
a
press
conference
a
week
or
so
ago,
but
there's
a
lot
more.
There
happy
to
take
any
questions
or
feedback
on
any
of
that.
A
D
Mainly
want
to
thank
you
for
the
thorough
update,
I
think
it's
something
that
it's
the
it's
the
type
of
summary
that
I
always
look
for
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
the
depth
of
detail
in
terms
of
what
services
actually
are
paid
for
and
the
degree
of
collaboration
for
the
city,
so
I
I
thought
that
was
really
excellent.
Summary
I.
It
didn't
necessarily
mention
too
many
upcoming
projects.
It
seems
like
a
lot
of
it
might
be
ongoing.
D
H
H
H
You
if
that
was
something
we
are
I
guess.
This
is
also
a
good
time
for
me
to
let
you
know
that
our
application
for
fy24
projects
will
be
kind
of
hitting
your
table
around
Thanksgiving
time.
We
try
to
get
it
out
before
Thanksgiving
and
applications
are
due
January
20th.
So
you
know
if
there
was
something
like
that,
then
even
you
ought
enough
to
look
into
you
know
best
practices
around
the
country
or
or
what's
happening
in
Vermont,
yeah
I.
Think
that's
a
great
time
to
let
us
set
up
okay.
A
And
for
those
who
are
unfamiliar,
we
do
look
to.
We
have
looked
to
the
oh
gosh
great
Zoning
for
great
neighborhoods.
Is
that
what
it's
called
something
to
that
effect,
which
the
RPC
has
supported?
Communities
with
that,
so
helping
adjust
local
zoning
to
support
better
housing,
which
we
have
implemented
some
recommendations
from
there?
We.
C
H
K
A
F
H
That
was
probably
a
little
people
thinking
before
we
formed
our
Equity
advisory
committee.
Do
that
that
does
need
to
happen
at
some
point
I'm
at
the
moment.
I,
don't
think
it's
really
the
highest
priority
for
the
equity
advisory
committee,
so
we'll
have
some
more
conversations
as
they're
kind
of
working
on
their
priorities
and
we're
working
with
them
to
see
if
that,
if
that
does
come
up
and
there
may
be
some
components
to
it
like
we
have
a
stipend
policy,
but
that
may
be
something
that
they
target
early
on.
H
H
A
G
There
are
slightly
different
widths
for
every
road,
which
is
confusing
and
not
helpful,
but
that's
how
things
are
so
for
historical
reasons.
To
the
best
of
my
knowledge,
the
city
council
has
not
provided
any
general
approvals
for
signs
and
council
did
express
interest
in
considering
such
a
you
might
call
it
a
blanket
approval.
I
would
based
on
some
feedback.
G
I
got
today
for
requests
that
you
actually
not
make
a
decision
tonight,
because
current
candidates
are
rather
preoccupied
tonight
and
would
might
have
wanted
to
weigh
in
and
aren't
able
to
tonight,
but
certainly,
if
you'd
like
to
have
a
discussion
in
the
council
packet
I
provided
some
possible
ways
to
consider.
If
you
did
want
to
approve
what
conditions
might
make
sense
and
I'll.
Add
that
oh
well
I
have
another
piece
of
input
to
add
to
the
mix
once
you've
gotten
going.
G
A
That
mayor
before
me,
and
the
one
before
had
shared
that
this.
This
ordinance,
like
don't,
put
your
signs
in
public
areas,
but
that
historically,
it
had
kind
of
been
ignored
for
the
two
weeks
leading
up
to
the
campaign,
but
there
hadn't
been
there
had
never
been
like
any
formal
things
saying
like
we
can
or
can't
saying
that
you
can.
There
has
always
been
a
formal
thing
saying
that
you
cannot
I.
Think
I
also
know
that
several
years
ago
staff
were
removing
signs
in
accordance
with
the
ordinance.
A
My
assumption
is
that
has
kind
of
fallen
off
because
of
the
Staffing
capacity
we
have
and
priorities.
So
I
think
you
know
we
saw
a
lot
of
if
you
follow
front
pitch
Forum
a
lot
of
comments
on
there.
I
think
that
it's
been
applied.
It
feels
like
an
inconsistent
application
to
people,
but
it's
that's
not
on
purpose.
G
E
N
A
K
A
E
O
L
M
Can
you
hear
me
now
great
so
yeah,
thanks
for
for
letting
me
speak
I
noticed
you
strategically
had
me
on
mute
while
Charlie
was
on
so
I
didn't,
say
anything
during
that
one
which
is
fine,
you're,
right,
Christine,
but
I.
Think
historically,
what
we've
kind
of
said
was
the
weekend
before
the
election
leave
them
alone,
not
so
much
two
weeks,
I'm,
not
sure
there
was
really
a
a
time
span,
but
my
recollection
is.
It
was
pretty
much
the
weekend
before.
M
Just
let
him
put
the
signs
out
and
and
don't
worry
about
it,
but
up
until
that
point
yeah.
We
we
didn't
allow
it
and
I
wouldn't
say
that
we
were
aggressive
in
removing
signs,
because
I
think
most
people
understood
that
it's
mostly
that
I
guess
the
Statewide
folks,
who
maybe
stick
them
in
the
in
the
public
rights
of
way
and
I
would
suggest
that
you
continue
with
that
kind
of
policy.
M
Let
the
signs
if
they
go
out
the
weekend
before.
That's
fine,
because
it's
only
a
few
days
but,
as
you
saw
in
the
on
the
in
the
traffic
circle,
all
the
signs
that
went
out
was
to
my
my
opinion.
Was
kind
of
crazy
but
anyway,
so
that's
kind
of
a
history.
We've
talked
that
we
had
talked
about
it
a
number
of
times
and
never
felt
it
was
appropriate
to
change
the
ordinance.
B
E
E
B
From
from
porch
Forum
to
Twitter
to
in
person,
I
I
do
believe
that
putting
up
a
political
sign,
even
though,
however,
many
politicians,
myself
included,
think
that
they're,
probably
a
waste
of
money
and
bad
for
the
environment,
people
buy
them
and
a
lot
of
people
want
to
see
them,
and
it
is
a
way
for
some
candidates
to
get
their
name
out.
Not
everybody
is
good.
Some
people
may
be
very
civically
minded,
but
they're,
not
necessarily
good,
at
knocking
on
doors,
for
example.
B
I
do
like
the
idea
of
limiting
how
many
signs
each
person
could
put
up
and
I
also
feel
like.
There
needs
to
be
some
more
understanding
over
what
is
a
public
right-of-way
like
I
know,
one
person
had
a
sign
removed
from
what
technically
is
Winooski
city
property.
They
have
a
yard,
there's
a
walkway,
City
walkway
and
then
there's
more
grass
they've
been
put
their
sign
there
and
that
got
removed.
D
A
C
A
A
So
I'll
share
my
thoughts
on
this
I
I.
Think
these
I
see
these
signs
all
the
time
they
blow
off
those
spikes
get
left
behind
and
it's
dangerous
and
when
we're
having
signs
put
in
the
public
right
away,
when
some,
when
you
give
someone
a
sign,
someone
volunteers
to
take
your
sign,
they
take
on
the
onus
of
monitoring
that,
when
they're
being
put
in
the
public
rights
of
way
nobody's
responsible
for
that,
the
onus
then
actually
comes
to
the
city.
Because
that's
our
land,
we
don't
really
have
the
capacity
to
take
care
of
that.
A
F
A
E
F
It
yeah
I
guess
my
one
other
thought
is
kind
of
tied
to
the
like
the
15
feet,
which
is
just
yeah
thinking
back
to
there
are
some
houses
or
50
feet,
50
feet:
okay,
sorry
50
feet
between
each
yeah
thinking
about
some
houses,
slash
multi-unit
buildings
who
might
like
their
yard
is
in
the
public
right
away.
So
I
don't
know.
Maybe
some
of
that
could
be
and
maybe
mine's
more
of
a
question
is
like
what
you
said:
it's
different
for
each
tree.
G
There
was
a
suggestion
among
staff
to
publicize
a
like
a
map
of
where
exactly
it
is,
and
it
could
be
not
very
intelligible,
but
you
could
blow
it
up
and
maybe
see
your
street
and
yeah
the
the
map
already
exists.
So
I'm
sorry,
the
data
already
exists.
So
it's
a
matter
of
mapping
it
which
shouldn't
be
that
big
of
a
lift
okay
but
that
yeah,
given
that
it's
not
the
same
I
think
that's
important.
So
people
are
not.
People
are
provided
Clarity
if
they
do
want
to
make
sure
they're.
Following
what
the
rule.
F
That
potential
proposal
could
have
an
adverse
effect
for
someone
who
wanted
those
signs
taken
down
for
whatever
reason
right
so
I
think
that
was
my
one
concern
but
I
overall
I
think
these
are
reasonable
for
both
kind
of
public
safety
reasons,
as
well
as
not
overburdening
City
staff
Jim.
You
had
something
yeah.
C
I
I
do
want
to
support
I
think
we
should
find
a
way
to
allow
this
and
to
formalize
it
and
to
say
what
is
and
is
not
allowed,
I
think
it's
a
Public
Square
and
that
we
have.
This
is
one
way
that
people
can
speak
in
that
square,
especially
since
we
as
a
city,
don't
convene
or
haven't
been
a
while
can
be
in
candidate
forums
in
the
public
that
provides
access
on
an
equal
footing
for
all
candidates,
at
least
for
city
council
races.
We
used
to
do
that.
C
I
think
it's
a
it's
just
another
access
to
the
public
forum,
I
think
it
should
be
time-bounded
and
really
clear
what
you
can
and
cannot
do
even
thinking
about
right
of
ways
on
streets
that
don't
have
sidewalks.
It's
very
unclear
whether
you're,
where
your
yard
ends
and
the
public
right-of-way
begins,
so
I
think
it'd
be
great
to
see.
C
D
E
D
G
You
have
a
recommendation
enforceability
so
that
that's
where
the
50
Feet
came
from
because
I
was
thinking
about,
or
we
were
discussing,
oh
well,
the
50
feet
and
then
there's
an
and
in
there
so
for
the
Publix
benefit
proposed
condition
was
50.
If
we
receive
a
complaint
that
signs
are
less
than
50
feet
apart,
because
it's
not
reasonable
for
us
to
just
drive
around
constantly
and
measure.
G
That's
just
not
enforceable,
but
if,
if
someone
calls
it
in
there's
something
very
specific
staff
can
use
to
say:
okay,
yes,
these
are
more
than
50
feet
apart
or
not
50
feet
apart,
and
then
that
was
a
sense
of
like
then
that
block,
because
so
they're
not
just
going
all
the
way
down
the
street.
A
block
seems
so
unmanageable
in
the
city.
So,
as
proposed,
we
thought
seemed
to
be
enforceable
to
staff
but
of
course,
open
to
other
ideas.
We
did
not
think
of
everything,
I'm
sure.
P
P
P
D
G
That's
what
I
was
suggesting,
because
the
ordinance
provides
for
with
approval
does
not
say
specific
approval
for
each
candidate
at
each
election.
So
in
my
mind
a
blanket
approval
that
lays
out
procedures
that
we
wouldn't
just
then
follow
administratively
is
manage.
You
know
that
was
manageable.
That
would
be
a
A
Way
Forward,
okay,.
E
G
Actually
could
so
this
is,
this
will
be
a
civil
offense
chapter.
One
of
the
ordinances
provides
for
fines,
so
if
it,
my
feeling
is,
you
would
leave
it
up
to
staff
to
just
to
decide
whether
you
know
it
was
a
number
of
times
and
it
was
egregious
or,
like
somebody
was
told
in
a
previous
campaign
and
kept
doing
it.
Then
we
would
start
talking
about
well,
you
know
we
can
assess
fines
for
that.
Based
on
the
past.
G
A
O
O
O
There
was
some
historic
information
that
I
shared
with
you
that
there
have
been
multiple
hotels
at
this
site
since
the
1800s,
the
Brunswick
hotel
and
the
deluxe
hotel,
or
a
few
of
the
names
and
names
changed
along
the
way.
But
there's
a
long
history
of
hospitality
in
Winooski
and
look
forward
to
continuing
that
and.
Q
Very
good
again
Dave
Marshall
one
thing:
I've
had
the
benefit
of
being
involved
with
the
city
since
1999
on
the
downtown
development
project
and
have
the
ability
to
bring
forward.
You
know
a
little
bit
of
background
in
regards
to
how
certain
things
occurred
as
the
downtown
was
developed,
at
least
since.
Q
Stages
in
construction-
and
you
know
the
there
are
two
small
Lots,
so
one
of
them
is
the
associated
with
lot
nine.
This
particular
application
for
the
new
hotel.
Another
is
lot
eight.
So
if
you
can
see
in
your
mind
the
Champlain
Mill
and
looking
from
Burlington
into
the
city
on
the
left
hand
side
as
you
come
in
across.
Q
E
Q
Way
and
those
two
lots
were
specifically
created
to
control
the
size
of
the
building
that
would
be
cited
there,
specifically
from
the
division
of
historic
preservation,
the
state.
They
wanted
to
make
sure
that,
however,
the
downtown
was
developed
was
that
it
was
done
in
a
way
that
it
didn't
overburden
or
overwhelm
film
The
Historic
nature
of
the
Champlain
Mill.
So
with
that,
we,
the
city
as
part
of
the
development
program,
created
these
two
lots
with
specific
intent
that
there.
Q
Just
buildings
and
that
the
supporting
parking
would
be
done
at
the
Cascades
garage
across
the
street.
So
that's
at
least
the
historical
context,
and
you
know
the
the
types
of
land
uses
that
can
go
in
those
locations
are
there.
They
can
be
varied,
or
in
this
particular
case,
the
original
property
owner
of
lot9
Pizza
Galley
properties
had
entered
into
agreement
with
the
city,
with
the
understanding
that
it
just
couldn't
be
a
standalone
lot
by
itself
that
it
needed
assistance.
Q
Q
And
and
expectations
of
both
parties
and
at
this
point,
we're
just
trying
to
get
over
the
goal
line
with
regard
to
the
last
features
that
are
necessary
in
order
to
basically
allow
this
project
to
move
forward.
So
with
that
Elaine's
been
awesome,
she's
been
great
as
far
as
access
and
Communications,
and
we're
really
happy
that
she's
here
it's
allowed
for
a
new
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel.
Q
Perhaps
in
regards
to
trying
to
address
the
last
of
the
issues
here
and
I
guess
all
we
would
like
the
the
city
council
to
do
is
perhaps
assist
Elaine's
efforts
and
making
sure
that
we
can
gain
access.
What
John
again
has
been
great
as
far
as
access,
but
again
there
are
a
number
of
legal
issues,
obviously
one
where
there's
there's
a
lawsuit
against
the
city
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
just
trying
to
get
the
city's
cooperation
in
access
to
the
city's
attorney
to
allow
for
some
of
these
items
to
be
squared
away.
Q
Q
Some
of
these
are
very
easily
managed,
based
on
you
know,
perhaps
templates
the
city's
already
used,
or
it's
going
to
require
some
heavier
lifting,
but
at
this
point
in
time,
we've
gotten
again
really
nice
work
recently
from
Elaine
and
John,
and
now
we're
just
trying
to
get
more
of
the
the
city's
team
involved.
With
with
your
permission,
in
order
to
allow
us
to
to
get
to
that
next
level.
A
Those
are
the
items
that
Elaine
and
staff
are
working
through
with
them.
I
would
not
comment
or
ask
questions
about
any
of
those
this
evening,
given
the
pending
litigation,
but
if
you
all
have
questions
more
generally
about
the
project
and
want
to
learn
more
about
that.
While
we
have
the
group
leaders
here
tonight,
it's
going
to
be
appropriate.
A
O
E
Q
O
E
Q
But
I
think
that's
one
thing
that
that
really
creates
a
Nuance
here
in
Vermont
we're
not
used
to
valet
parking,
except
in
very,
very
special
circumstances
and
most
hotels.
You
go
to
Rivermont,
there's
no
such
thing,
but
here
because
specifically,
the
design
of
the
parcel
that
doesn't
allow
for
parking
law.
Q
I
should
say
for
parking
on
that
parcel.
It
basically
means
that
there
is
going
to
be
the
need
for
some
communication,
whether
it
be
somebody
walking
to
a
parking
spot,
whether
it
be
in
the
garage
or
some
other
location.
In
this
particular
case
Adam's
bringing
to
the
fold
this
particular
valet
concept.
It's
it's.
Q
Old
deep
City,
you
know
the
middle
of
cities
that
I
utilize,
because
that's
the
most
convenient
thing
to
do
here.
This
is
going
to
be
part
of
the
program
in
order
to
basically
work
best
within
the
city's
resources
as
far
as
where
parking
spaces
are
available.
So
it's
it
creates
flexibility
in
regards
to
again
working
literally
hourly,
you
know
within
each
day
in
regards
to
how
to
manage
parking
spaces
based
on
their
availability.
A
D
O
B
O
A
O
R
How's
it
going
good.
How
are
you
good
so
here
with
a
proposal
for
an
MOA
memorandum
of
agreement
between
the
city
and
the
school
district
for
the
next
five-year
cycle
of
the
21c
grants
through
the
agency
of
Ed?
This
is
a
grant
now.
This
will
be
our
third
five-year
block
that
we've
applied
for
in
partnership
with
the
school.
E
A
D
D
R
Yeah
sure
so
it
ends
and
flows
a
little
bit
to
year
to
year,
depending
on
the
programs
we're
running
one
of
the
programs
we
run
as
part
of
our
match
is
the
Thrive
program,
so
that
has
some
regulatory
requirements
around
what
staff
have
in
the
way
of
credentials
to
be
eligible
to
work
in
that
program
as
a
regulated
program.
So
that's
one
piece
where
there's
kind
of
a.
R
What
that
kind
of
high
quality,
well-trained
staff
means,
then
we're
also
running
programs
through
our
Recreation
Department,
as
well
as
through
our
library.
So
at
this
point,
primarily
that
is
our
Recreation
program
manager,
robin
our
rec
assistant
and
our
Americorps
member
in
the
Rockport
department.
So
that
could
be
any
one
of
the
three
of
them
again,
depending
on
what
else.
We've
got
going
on
at
the
time
that
the
program
we're
offering
is
running
because.
R
Run
a
few
programs
a
year
with
21c
and
again
those
are
going
to
vacillate,
depending
on
what's
popular,
what
kids
are
interested
in,
what
the
school
has
kind
of
identified
as
gaffs,
so
some
examples
of
what
we're
doing
right
now,
we're
just
today,
wrapped
up
a
field
hockey
program
that
Robin
and
maruno
were
running.
We've
got
a
Pokemon
Club,
that's
running
now
at
the
library
that
was
kind
of
a
community
generated
idea.
R
E
R
Yep
so
I
would
say
it's
not
really
a
different
issue
than
we
we
kind
of
struggle
up
against,
regardless
of
the
funding
source
for
the
program.
Honestly
right
now,
you
know
we're
down
staff
on
the
rec
side
of
the
equation
for
sure,
with
two
Americorps
positions
that
are
still
vacant,
they
will
report.
We
had
an
interview
today,
so
fingers
crossed
there,
but
that's
a
program
that
seemed
really
low
enrollment.
So
it
really
then
becomes
a
matter
of
you
know,
scaling
and
adjusting
our
offerings
to.
R
So
you
know
it
might
mean
we,
we
don't
run
an
adult-based
program
during
a
session
when
we
have
a
21c
program
that
we
need
to
run
to
meet
the
grant
obligations.
So
you
know
again,
we
have
some
degree
across
the
department
in
terms
of
scalability
of
other
things
that
we're
doing,
but
ideally
we're
we're
working
to
get
fully
staffed
so
that
we
can
kind
of
hit
all
those
marks.
D
R
R
E
R
Rec
team
is
working
at
the
school
and
that's
been
pretty
typical
and
then
within
the
broader
21c
kind
of
environment,
including
the
school
run
programs
most
of
the
school
run.
Programs
are
supported
by
school-based
staff,
so
that's
both
teachers
and
IAS,
so
Suzanne
runs
a
whole.
You
know
sort
of
70
of
the
grant
essentially,
and
we
run
about
30
percent
of
the
Grant
in
terms
of
programming
and.
E
D
A
G
Yes,
so
at
Council
September
6th
the
meeting
they
you
approved
this
grant
program
for
non-profits,
helping
the
community
recover
from
kova
19.
the
safe,
healthy
connected
people,
commission
is
the
grant
Review
Committee
11
applications
were
received,
they
recommended
four
non-profits
to
receive
the
maximum
and
a
second
tier
also
at
maximum.
In
case,
you
wanted
to
consider
additional
criteria
back
to
you.
G
A
You
had
a
note
in
here
about
this
to
to
confirm
my
recollection
of
our
previous
discussion
when
we
awarded
some
funds
to
the
Food
Shelf
was
that
that
would
be
deducted
from
any
future
award
okay.
So
we
are
all
on
an
agreement
about
that.
Yes,
so
if
we
were
to
take
these
recommendations,
we
would
be
giving
them
5.
A
A
So,
like
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we
had
given
some
money
already
to
the
food
shelf
and
formerly
to
the
Congolese
Community,
because
they
were
doing
that
work,
and
so
I
was
surprised
in
here
to
see
that
the
fight
for
kids
Foundation
actually
had
the
highest
score
when
I
it
doesn't
read
to
me
like
that
is
what
that
work
is
like
that.
There's
a
connection
and.
F
I
had
another
obligation,
but
I
was
at
the
other
one.
So
I'm
not
super
clear
on
that
one,
but
I
did
share
and
hoping
kind
of
understanding
is
yeah.
Thinking
about
the
direct
covid
issues,
kind
of
both
past
present
and
future
I.
Think
a
lot
of
things
can
be
argued
to
be
kind
of
indirect,
related
to
covid
yeah.
A
D
I
definitely
my
impression
of
the
intent
also
feeling
like
there
wasn't
as
much
of
an
uptake
on
the
private
for-profit
funding
opportunities.
So
we
were
pivoting
to
offer,
grant
funding
for
non-profits
that
the
the
focus
was
on
covid
impacts
and
that
the
money
that
we
received
from
the
federal
government
was
in
response
to
coveted
impacts
and
kind
of
staying.
True
to
that.
F
Yeah
and
I
will
say
kind
of
in
that
second
tier,
that
they
offered
I
was
definitely
very
impressed
with
both
the
age
well
and
Pathways,
of
kind
of
thinking
about
organizations
that
have
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
and
continue
to
do
a
lot
of
work
in
the
community
age.
Well,
really
thinking
about
both
connectedness
and
also
food
insecurity,
which
is
something
that
that
we
have
acknowledged,
especially
with
the
food
shelf,
well,
the
Methodist
Church
and
with
Pathways
specifically
thinking
about
both
housing
and
mental
health.
F
One
thing
that
I
noted
in
the
h121
is
that
they're
talking
about
having
a
kind
of
a
team
specifically
able
to
do
this
is
for
age
while
the
new
American
Outreach
and
service
coordinators.
So
it
definitely
felt
like
with
both
of
those
they're
meeting
needs,
both
current
and
I
think
increasing
needs
related
to
the
pandemic.
G
I
would
agree
yeah
if
I
could
follow
up,
so
the
commission
and
Ray
go
ahead
and
chime
in
here
as
the
usual
staff
person
for
for
the
commission,
and
certainly
at
the
last
two
meetings
in
previous
ones.
So
there
was
some
discussion
among
the
commission
about
whether
age
wall
had
capacity
to
deliver
on
this
brand
on
their
own
or
if
they
would
need
cooperation
from
City
staff,
so
not
to
say
that
I
would
I.
G
R
Would
you
yeah
and
I
think
just
to
build
on
that
I?
Think
for
my
recollection
of
that
conversation
with
the
commission,
I
think
there
were
just
sort
of
more
questions
that
we
wanted
to
ask
about
the
sustainability
of
that
program
too.
It's
a
program
that
we
use
to
run
pre-covid,
that
is
a
pretty
heavy
lift
in
terms
of
just
staff
costs
and
inputs
and
I.
R
C
B
Aurora
said
I
think
I
was
kind
of
surprised
to
see
that
Pathways
didn't
fall
into
that
first
tier
because
I
think
at
least
from
you
know
what
we've
seen
in
the
news
and
read.
You
know:
homelessness
and
mental
illness
were
greatly
impacted
from
coved
things
that
were
already
very
exasperated
and
resources
beforehand
and
covered
made
it
so
much
worse.
G
K
C
G
Yeah,
so
for
the
the
bottom
tier
frankly,
there
wasn't
a
ton
of
conversation
because
it
was
so
clear
to
them
the
the
top
tier,
and
then
there
was
more
discussion
than
there
on
the
second
tier.
They
were
just
in
agreement
on
the
on
the
bottom.
They
all
did
their
scoring
individually
before
they
came
to
the
meeting
so
and
the
meeting
was
I
think
two
hours.
So
at
that
point
we
were
like
okay,
you
don't
have
to
keep
discussing
if
it's
obvious
to
all
of
you.
C
So
it's
confusing
to
me
because,
in
terms
of
programmatic
impact
like
it
is
the
second
highest
ranking
proposal,
it's
just
scores
low
because
of
lack
of
bypoc
ownership
or
board
leadership.
As
I
as
I
read,
the
scoring
is
a
10
9,
10
1,
which
is
more
in
terms
of
program.
Delivery
is
scoring
higher,
so
is
that,
was
it
dismissed
out
of
hand
because
of
the
low
cumulative
scores
or
something
wrong
with
the
deliberate
that
they're
proposing
it.
A
C
Well,
I
wonder
if
we
Face
any
liability
and
try
and
make
it
determine
or
making
a
funding
determination
based
on
that
solely
so
a
great
reset,
just
not
as
an
issue
that
necessarily
problematic
but
or
wrong
but
problematic
in
the
legal
context
and
and
I'm
looking
at
their
proposal,
it
seemed
like
a
decent
program.
Supporting
youth
mentoring
in
Elm.
Street
seems
like
a
worthwhile
program
because.
I
C
A
F
F
E
K
B
G
C
E
K
B
G
F
Cvoeo
is
a
bigger
organization,
but
they're
also
what
I
really
noted
with
them
was
do
was
the
work
that
they're
doing
towards
housing
and
housing
was
definitely
kind
of
top
of
mind.
Looking
through
some
of
these
as
well,
because
of
the
current
need
and
the
fact
that
I
think
we
can
argue
that
that's
a
direct
or
covet
had
an
effect
on
that,
especially
around
securing
housing.
G
I
guess
it
would
depend
on
the
criteria.
I
I'd
say
that
the
covet
intent
to
me
was
over,
like
overtly
implied
by
the
name
by
the
purpose,
but
you
know
everything
except
the
criteria.
So
if
you
wanted
to
add
that
that
feels
fair
game
like
if
I
was
reading
it
from
the
public
I'd
say
okay,
well,
it
wasn't
my
criteria,
but
clearly
this
is
what
it
was
about.
Yeah.
E
G
It
was
something
that
was
off
in
left
field.
I
would
suggest,
that's
not
very
fair
and
you
might
want
to
yeah
make
it
part
of
a
second
round
or
suggest
that
that
safe,
healthy
connected
can
consider
that
in
the
second
round
for
guidelines,
if
you
go
in
that
direction
for
the
next
agenda
item-
okay,.
C
Foreign
Pathways
provide
very
similar
services
and
have
funding
each
seems
like
we're
not
really
fully
supporting
either.
So,
if
we're
interested
in
supporting
and
fully
supporting,
I
think
we
should
pick
one
personally,
they
provide
slightly
different
services,
but
very
similar
and
consider
the
other
one
in
the
second
round.
If
that
comes
up.
A
D
F
F
F
C
A
C
C
A
E
F
E
C
E
C
A
But
reading
through
it
feels
to
me
like
dream,
does
connect
better
with
the
initial
intent
of
you
know,
covet
impacts
and
is
also
established
at
a
priority
location,
I
would
say,
and
so
maybe
I
could
I
I
could
be
on
board
with
awarding
them
5
000
and
then
maybe
reconsidering
fight
for
kids
in
a
second
round.
If
we're
reconsidering
like
the
intent
I
could
go
either
way,
though.
F
F
E
B
Mentorship
wasn't
able
to
happen
during
covet
because
people
weren't
able
to
visit
people
that
they
didn't
live
with
and
there's
a
direct
correlation
to
that
and
the
many
things
that
we
hear
about
of
you
know
test
scores
going
down.
Students
not
feeling
connected
to
their
communities
and
I.
Think
Dream
works
within
those
perimeters.
A
G
A
A
If
we
were
to
move
forward,
we
could
let
them
and
then
we
could
get
their
input
and
then
decide
if
we
make
changes
if
we
were
if
we
voted
to
have
a
second
round,
I
did
want
to
ask
I
think
we
allocated
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
business
grants,
but
we
didn't
spend
that
true.
How
much
do
we
have
left
in
that
pool?
A
G
G
A
C
B
E
F
A
A
D
I'm
very
reluctant
to
allocate
additional
funding
I
think
there
will
always
be
a
request
for
need
from
nonprofits,
so
I
don't
think
it
will
change
regardless
of
whether
or
not
money
is
funded
from
the
city
of
bonuski
or
not.
I.
Think
that
for
me,
looking
at
our
budget
constraints
and
the
future
of
potentially
using
Bridge
funding
to
mitigate
tax
impacts
to
me
is
a
higher
much
higher
concern
and
the
availability
of
one-time
funding
to
support
our
tax
base
to
me
is
a
greater
priority.
F
For
me,
I
would
overall
be
in
favor
of
helping
folks
that
are
doing
meeting
needs
around
coca-19,
especially
where
the
city
isn't
able
to
on
the
flip
side.
I
do
almost
wonder
if
and
want
to
at
least
kind
of,
had
that
discussion
about
all
this
arpa
input
we've
had
and
it
might
be
in
that
input.
We
see
that
oh
there
is
this
need,
and
opening
up
for
more
non-profit
funding
would
make
sense,
or
we
might
see
a
kind
of
a
different
pattern
in
that.
A
Okay,
that's
a
good
point
because
I
feel
like
initially
we
wanted
to
create
this
program
for
emerging
needs
and
then
wait
until
we
had
more
arpa
input.
So
I
think
the
question
for
us
now
is:
do
we
still
feel
like
there's
emerging
thing
we
need
to
address,
or
can
we
wait
a
little
while
to
actually
review
that
input.
B
I
think
it's
worth
waiting
for
after
we've
had
more
budgetary
discussions
like
counselor
Oakley
said
there
will
always
be
need.
I
think
this
gives
us
a
unique
opportunity
to
help
some
of
that
need,
but
there
is,
there
are
other
tax
on
budgetary
needs
that
the
city
has
so
I
understand,
but
the
conflict.
C
I
mean
I
feel
a
little
we
go
with
the
business
award
or
that
we
put
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
aside
for
businesses
that
wasn't
used
and
we
put
out
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
nonprofits
that
was
oversubscribed
to
put
potentially
programmed
on
the
ground
now,
as
opposed
to
waiting
on
budget
that
we
can't
start
spending
for
until
June.
Looking
back
at
it
look
at
our
minutes,
it
looks
like
we
only
approved
four
applications
of
the
80
000
remainings
that
does
leave
at
least
30
000
left
from
the
business
grant.
C
You
know
six
months
is
maybe
a
time
for
a
non-profit
to
actually
help
one
person
in
our
community.
To
me,
that
seems
like
a
worthwhile.
These
are
all
one-time
funds,
so
what
have
we
decided
to
do
with
our
coupons
is
a
one-time
investment.
This
is
also
a
one-time
investment
that
gets
on
the
ground
faster.
That
might
be
important
right
now,.
L
Absolutely
yeah
so
that
essentially
I
believe,
will
wrap
up
the
final
pieces
of
the
of
the
arpa
input.
So
we
have
a
couple
things
lined
up
at
a
few
more
winnerski
Housing,
Authority
buildings,
and
then
we
have
an
event
at
the
senior
center
on
the
11th
and
I'm,
currently
working
with
the
school
to
get
some
surveys
out
to
the
different
age
groups.
There
we've
got
a
pretty
solid
plan,
lined
up
with
Gabby
Ora
the
communications
director
at
the
school,
so
I
would
say
we
are.
S
L
We
could
we
could
potentially
get
there
I
think
it.
You
know
it.
It
depends
on
how
I
mean
definitely
with
this
with
the
senior
feedback
will
definitely
be
finished
with
that
this
month.
So
you
know,
depending
on
how
quickly
we
can
turn
around
some
of
the
youth
feedback.
There
I
think
it'll.
Definitely.
G
D
G
S
E
C
O
Q
C
C
Which
may
be
fine,
so
it's
but
I
think
maybe
we
would
just
wait
to
tell
the
commission
to
do
any
work.
Then
until
we
see
the
article
survey
results,
if
we're
going
to
try
and
follow
that
pattern,
because
I
don't
think
we
gained
ourselves,
I,
don't
think
we're
just
having
them
do
work
before
we
can
really
utilize
the
outputs.
C
J
So
I'll
keep
this
very
brief
because
it
looks
like
our
app
kit
is
in
the
attendees
list.
So
this
is
a
request
to
a
point
down
sweetly
as
an
alternate
to
Municipal
infrastructure
commission
for
a
one-year
term.
So
the
commission,
chair
and
myself
had
the
opportunity
to
to
interview
Dallas
and
like
to
put
him
forward
as
one
of
the
new
appointments
so
looks
like
Dallas's
in
the
attendees.
If,
if
he
wants
to
say
a
few
words.
A
A
Second
motion
by
Thomas
second,
by
Aurora,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
motion
carries
thank
you,
okay,
Elaine,
another
procedural
question
for
you:
yes,
I,
don't
believe
I
called
for
public
comment
during
the
last
two
items.
While
we
were
discussing
the
code,
Grants
and
I,
wonder
if
I
can
do
that
now
or
if
that
would
be
inappropriate.
A
So
we
just
had
a
lengthy
conversation
about
arpa
funding
grants
to
nonprofits
for
coveted
recovery
and
I
neglected
to
solicit
public
input.
So
if
anyone
who
is
attending
via
Zoom
had
wanted
to
ask
a
question
or
make
a
comment,
you
can
now,
so
you
could
use
the
chat
or
the
raise
hand
feature
if
that
is
the
case.
A
A
A
Okay,
so
we
have
been
having
a
lot
of
policy
discussions
as
a
council
and
seeing
needs
that
require
state
or
higher
intervention,
in
addition
to
our
local
efforts,
based
on
our
policy
priorities
and
strategies.
What
we've
been
discussing,
and
also
some
Outreach
I've
done
to
existing
representatives
to
understand
what
is
you
know
likely
to
come
up
in
the
legislature
vlct
or
like
the
regional
Planning
Commission
and
other
leaders
are
advocating
for
I've
drafted.
F
One
thing
I
was
thinking
with
the
going
around
housing
and
considering
it's
something
that
kind
of
put
to
our
Housing
Commission
is
to
think
about
doing
it
or
having
state
level
rental
registry
once
more
be
a
priority.
It
was
passed
last
year
but
vetoed
by
Scott.
So
there's
definitely
an
interest
and
potential
there.
D
F
B
D
D
E
D
I
would
almost
request
I
I
you
you
address
it
here
in
the
energies
section,
continued
funding
for
weatherization
I
I
would
say
that
there
was
a
very
limited
amount
of
funding
for
municipalities
that
was
approved
this
past
session
and
I
would
request
that
funny
amount
be
repeated,
given
the
demand
that
is
anticipated
for
that
municipal
energy,
Project
funding
and
ideally
expanded.
Given
the
new
federal
allocations
that
we
anticipate
for
the
inflation
reduction
Act.
B
C
I
can't
believe
I'm
about
to
say
this,
but
in
the
interest
of
trimming
down
on
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
one
number
six
I
think
there's
substantial
federal
assistance
in
the
coming
year
for
municipal
tree
planting
I.
Don't
think
it
would
make
sense
for
us
to
advocate
for
a
state
level
funding
for
that
unless
it's
in
the
form
of
match,
but
I
think
we
could
strike
that
one.
D
I
also
anticipate
state
of
Vermont
has
a
plan
for
deploying
Chargers
along
interstate
highways,
Within
I
think
at
least
five
miles
of
the
quarter,
so
number
three
could
potentially
be
paired
out
as
well.
Okay,
that
doesn't
necessarily
address
designated
downtowns,
but
since
we're
within
five
miles
of
State
highways,
I
think
that's
to
our
advantage.
A
A
A
A
B
A
C
A
C
Just
commenting
on
the
rental
registry
I've
been
as
a
resident
of
Vermont
I
think
it
is
an
important
I
think
everyone
else
should
have
access
to
what
we
have
here
in
Winooski
I
think
that
from
a
municipal
advocacy
perspective,
that's
not
what
our
city
needs
like.
We
have
that
unless
there's
the
supports
that
come
out
of
that
Statewide
initiative
that
make
our
program
easier
and
more
cheap
to
implement,
if
that's
the
case,
I've
fully
support
having
it
on,
but
for
Lending
support
to
others
who
are
advocated
for
that
at
the
Statewide
level.
A
G
A
Oh
well,
okay,
sorry,
so
that
study
is
saying
that
the
gas
tax
can't
be
the
thing
anymore
and
I.
It
doesn't
have
a
recommendation
necessarily
like
it
ranks
a
couple
of
options,
but,
for
example,
one
of
those
is
a
utility
that
would
then
support
Transportation,
which
goes
beyond
the
scope
of
like
roads.
I
believe
it
also
includes
public
transportation,
okay,
but
we
could
call
that
out
somehow.
D
E
F
D
D
B
F
C
E
A
Okay,
I
feel,
like
I,
have
good
input
for
bringing
back
something
we
can
finalize
at
the
next
meeting.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
on
to
item
I
on
for
discussion
approval
these
small
business
Saturday
Proclamation,
so
every
year
for
longer
than
I
can
recall
when
you
ski
does
participate
in
small
business
Saturday
and
the
downtown
Winooski
organization
also
supports
that
effort
working
with
our
local
businesses.
So
we
are
being
asked
to
make
this
Proclamation
again
this
year.
B
E
A
Motion
curious,
thank
you.
So
we
have
more.
This
is
the
end
of
the
regular
items
on
our
agenda.
We've
worn
an
executive
session
pursuant
to
State
Statute,
section
3132
about
the
negotiation
of
real
estate
purchase
or
lease
options
related
to
our
lot.
70
Abenaki
way:
property
I'm.
Looking
for
a
motion
to
find
that
per
state
statute
having
this
discussion
in
public
would
put
us
at
a
disadvantage,
and
so
we
should
hold
this
in
executive
session
Christine.
A
G
A
Can
I
have
a
motion
to
enter
into
executive
session,
inviting
Elaine
Wong,
John,
rousher,
Doug,
Netty
and
Bill
naked
second
motion
by
Thomas?
Second,
by
Bryn,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
motion
carries
and
can
