Okay,
public
comment:
we
don't
have
anyone
in
the
room.
I
do
see
one
member
of
the
public
attending
on
Zoom.
If
you
wish
to
speak
about
anything,
that's
in
tonight's
agenda,
if
you
can
wait
until
we
reach
that,
please
do
if
you're
here
for
to
comment
on
something.
That's
not
in
tonight's
agenda.
Please
use
the
chat
or
the
raise
hand
feature
to.
Let
us
know.
A
Okay,
see
no
public
comment,
we
will
move
to
the
consent
agenda.
We
have
our
Council
and
look
at
control
board,
minutes
from
December
12th.
The
accounts
payable
warrant
from
December
29th
payroll
warrants
from
November
and
December,
and
the
legislative
priorities
that
we
saw
at
our
last
meeting
I
do
believe
there
is
a
correction
to
be
made
to
the
minutes.
Yes,.
C
A
A
A
F
E
Haven't
been
any
meetings
between
when
we
last
had
a
counseling
council
meeting,
however,
next
week
we
have
a
special
meeting
on
January
12th
at
6,
PM
of
the
inclusion
and
belonging
Commission
and
on
January
January
10th.
We
have
a
regular
meeting
of
the
safe,
healthy
connected
people
and
what
we
had
reviewed
previously
was
just
the
budget
presentation
that
Ray
had
presented
to
council
so
we'll
have
our
regular
meeting
on
January
10th
at
6
30..
G
C
The
infrastructure
commission
held
a
meeting
on
December
15th,
but
we
did
not
have
enough
Commissioners
in
Hulu
Quorum.
Unfortunately,
we
did
have
a
number
of
a
good
handful
of
residents
that
were
interested
in
some
of
the
agenda
items
on
up
for
discussion
that
evening,
in
particular,
the
ordinance
changes
proposed
to
incentivize
historic
preservation,
so
we
had
at
least
two
additional
community
members
and
then
a
member
of
the
Planning
Commission.
C
It's
been
that
meeting
to
just
review
the
those
items
with
the
infrastructure
Commissioners
that
were
present,
so
there
was
ample
interest,
as
you
know,
we've
seen
vocalize
in
the
community
about
preserving
our
historic
building
spaces
and
places
and
the
the
additional
opportunities
to
protect
those
spaces
beyond
what
is
included
in
the
ordinance
again
there
was.
It
was
just
discussion.
C
C
Another
item
of
interest
to
everyone
is
the
v-trans
is
holding
a
public
hearing
on
January
12th
about
the
Double
Diamond
interchange,
that
is
in
person
or
online.
It
has
been
noticed
already
through
our
city
channels
and
through
front
porch
Forum,
but
please
keep
a
look
out
for
additional
reminder.
Notices
coming
up
as
well.
Thank
you.
A
Hello,
only
one
update
I
joined
Burlington
mayor
Weinberger
in
hosting
a
an
event
with
our
state,
reps
and
Senators,
sharing
some
of
the
priorities
from
the
legislative
priorities
that
we
just
approved
that
we
had
been
speaking
out
over
the
last
couple
months
and
tomorrow.
I
will
distribute
that
further
to
committee
chairs,
once
those
are
set
in
the
legislature.
A
H
D
Oh,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted

in
getting
the
holiday
tree
and
the
rotary
all
lit
up
I'm,
looking
really
pretty
for
everybody
to
enjoy.
It
was
definitely
a
large
effort
that
just
regular
residents,
for
the
most
part
excuse
me
undertook
so
really
just
a
big
thank
you
to
everybody.
Who's
involved

the
following
terms
are
up
for
for
election
Winooski,
City

There's

So
two
City
councilor
two-year
term
seats
are
available,
Winooski,
School,
District,
Treasurer
and
when
I
say
available
means

Winooski
School
District
Treasurer,
one
of
those
three
year
term

two
Winooski
School
District

a
three-year

and
the
other
is
a
two-year

J
Residents

30th
2023

or
winusivt.gov
vote
to
get
your
consent

J
And
finally,
there
is
that
January
12th
Exit
16
Double
Diamond
interchange,
public
meeting
that
councilor
Oakleaf
just
mentioned
by
v-trans
the
Vermont
agency
of
Transportation.
You
can
also
attend
the
city
council
meeting
on
January
9th
for
their
presentation
on
this
project
to
Winooski
city
council
and
any
members
of
the
public
who
wish
to
attend
that
meeting.
A
A
C
K
So
this
will
be
the
Public
Works
installment
of
the
fy24
budget,
so
we'll
be
covering
the
what
we've
been
up
to
in
fy23
and
what
we're
going
to
be
focusing
on
in
fy24
and
then
we'll
jump
into
some
of
the
budget
discussions.
So
this
covers
the
annual
Public
Works
operational
budgets,
as
well
as
the
general
fund
Capital
plan
budget,
and
that
that.
K
All
general
fund
departments,
so
general
fund,
as
you
all
know,
but
maybe
for
the
public,
any
property,
tax
revenue
type
department,
so
Public
Safety
fire
planning,
community
service,
those
those
different
departments
and
then
we'll
get
into
the
Enterprise
funds.
So
that's
the
water
fund,
sewer
fund
and
I'll
touch
on
the
parking
fund,
capital
budget
and
then
just
kind
of
wrap
up
with
some
emerging
issues
that
might
have
budget
implications
down
the
road
and
I'll
I'll
pause
at
the
end
of
each
of
these
sections.
K
So,
as
you
know,
in
2018
we
we
have
a
23
million
dollar
Bond
vote
approval
for
Main
Street
to
reconstruct
that
entire
Corridor,
where
I
I
think
I've
said
this
before.
But
we
are
finally
at
the
finish
line
for
this
project.
So
the
main
task
we've
been
working
on
is
gathering
all
of
the
easements
that
are
required
along
the
corridor.
So
we
need
a
total
of
63
easements
from
each
of
the
property
owners.
K
We
are
only
in
need
of
seven
and
they're,
really
just
one
owner
at
this
point
and
we're
pretty
confident
we're
we're
gonna
have
those
so
once
we
have
all
those
easements
in
hand,
we
can
go
out
to
bid
and
and
get
some
pricing
on
what
this
project
will
be
to
construct.
So
I
expect
probably
next
meeting
your
next
well.
G
H
K
The
ninth
meeting,
but
in
January
of
early
February,
we're
going
to
be
coming
to
you
with
a
proposal
for
construction
bid
services
and
there
might
be
some
other
agreements
that
we
may
have
to
to
request
to
move
this
project
out
to
bid
so
we're
getting
close,
we're
getting
the
project
out
to
bid-
and
you
know
hopefully
we'll
get
some
decent
pricing
for
this.
The
other
projects
that
you're
aware
of
is
the
Winooski
River
Bridge
replacement.
K
So
v-trans
is
leading
this
project
with
our
with
our
partner
Burlington,
who
owns
the
Elder,
owns
half
of
the
bridge
so
we've
you
know
today,
we've
really
just
been
working
on
getting
a
an
owner's
rep
on
board,
which
is
a
design
professional
to
get
that
process
started.
So
there's
not
a
lot
to
talk
about
at
this
point,
but
we've
had
some
interviews
with
consultants
and
I
believe
V.
Trans
right
now
is
is
putting
offers
out
to
the
the
recommended
consultant
that
the
team
has
has
chosen.
K
So
just
a
reminder
on
schedule
for
that
one.
So
the
main
I
think
one
of
the
big
challenges
for
this
project
is
that
we
have
to
be
under
contract
with
a
with
a
contractor
by
September
30th
2027..
It
sounds
like
it's
a
long
ways
away,
but
in
a
big
project
like
this
that'll
come
up
pretty
quick,
so
these
projects
will
will
move
into
the
next
slide.
When
we
talk
about
fy24
focus
and
then
I
just
want
to
highlight
the
other
items
that
are
called
out,
ccrpc
supported.
K
So
that's
our
Chittenden
County
Regional
Planning
Commission.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
Grant
supported
initiatives
that
we're
working
on
with
them
that
we've
started
on,
but
they
they
will
also
continue
into
fy24.
So
moving
into
fy24
looks
pretty
similar,
mainly
because
these
are
some
big
projects
we're
working
on.
K
So
it's
gonna,
it's
gonna
take
a
few
years,
but
the
scope
will
be
hopefully
much
different,
so
Main
Street,
as
mentioned,
will
be
in
construction,
assuming
we
get
some
decent
bids
and
then
the
Winooski
River
Bridge
replacement
will
now
be
on
the
drawing
board.
So
the
other
project
that
could
be
in
construction
is
the
lot
70
city-owned
parking
garage.
K
So
that's
another
one,
so
we
could
see
some
pretty
heavy
construction
this
this
coming
summer
in
the
FY
24
budget
season,
and
that
also
includes
the
v-trans
exit
16
project
that
we're
just
talking
about
that
they'll
be
coming
to
the
next
meeting,
as
as
Elaine
mentioned
to
v-trans,
will
be
giving
update
on
that
project.
So
before
I
get
into
the
some
of
the
budget
discussion.
Does
anyone
have
any
questions
on
kind
of
the
highlights
from
this
year
and
focus
on
next
year?.
C
K
C
K
No,
that
one's
a
permit
requirement,
it's
we've
done
an
initial
phase
one
and
that
that
is
that's
one
of
the
grant
funded
projects.
That
RPC
is
helping
us
out
with
it's
video
inspecting
all
of
our
storm
water
lines,
to
get
a
sense
of
what
condition
they're
in
and
and
to
prioritize
replacement,
work
or
lining
work
or
some
point
repairs.
So
that's
more
of
just
Good
Housekeeping
type
project.
F
K
Moving
on
so
getting
into
some
of
the
budget
discussions
so
for
fy24
we
are
not
proposing
any
changes
in
Staffing,
so
here's
a
picture
of
our
latest.
This
is
a
pretty
recent
crew,
so
this
is
like
half
the
size
of
summer,
so
we
we've
been
doing
some
work
and
thanks
to
human
resources
for
for
helping
us
out,
but
we
are.
F
K
Last
week
fully
staffed
up,
which
is
amazing,
we
didn't
think
we
would
be
there
by
this
winter.
So
for
fy24,
no
changes
in
Staffing.
This
is
our
organization
chart.
We
do
split
it
into
kind
of
two
main
categories
of
we
call
it
our
street
crew
and
our
Water
Resources
crew.
Granted
they
all
work
together.
It's
a
pretty
small
team,
but
for
budgeting
purposes,
and
you
know
for
who's
doing
what
scope?
That's
our
breakout.
So
for
the
street
crew.
K
K
Those
are
the
staff
that
go
out
and
maintain
the
sewer
lines
and
the
water
lines
and
and
exercise
hydrants
and
clean
catch
basins
that
kind
of
work
and
then
they're
all
received
by
the
utility
manager
and
then,
of
course,
the
city
engineer
and
myself
are
kind
of
split
in
between
those
two
groups,
as
we
kind
of
touch
on
both
of
those.
So
this
is
our
current
work.
Chart
we're
not
really
looking
to,
as
I
mentioned,
add
any
staff
or
change
anything
for
fy24.
K
K
This
is
just
a
slide
to
kind
of
show
you
where
Public
Works
lives
in
the
overall
budget,
so
the
bar
graph
in
red
shows
the
Public
Works
budget
over
the
last
five
years,
so
we
were
pretty
consistently
around
1.2
million
this
year.
As
you'll
see,
we
are
a
bit
higher,
we're
6.87
percent
higher
than
the
FY
23
budget,
but
yeah
we
we're
typically
in
between
sort
of
community
services
and
general
Administration
in
the
full
general
fund
budget
picture.
John.
K
Yeah-
and
you
can
kind
of
see
on
this
next
slide,
so
our
year-to-date,
FY,
23
and
projected
is,
is
well.
The
salary
benefits
line
is
a
bit
lower
for
fy23,
not
significantly,
but
it's
kind
of
it's
pictured
in
the
actuals.
So
this
is
just
an
overview.
The
roll-up
sheet
that
you
get
in
the
budget
book
of
our
Public
Works
budget
and
it
kind
of
compares
the
the
last
few
fiscal
years.
K
So
just
to
give
you
an
overview
of
where
some
of
these
increases
are
so
it's
salaries
and
benefits
is
probably
the
main
increase
for
fy24.
So
that's
mainly
due
to
just
our
Union
contract
requirements
and
then
going
down
that
budget
increase
in
that
that
box
or
the
bulleted
points.
So
there
is,
we
did
budget
for
12K
increase
for
road
salt.
That's
not
quantity,
that's
just
the
contractual
rate
for
the
same
amount
of
road
salt.
K
We
typically
use
in
the
year
and
then
we
did
increase
the
budget
by
eight
eight
grand
for
contract,
Road
painting.
So
we've
as
you've,
probably
seen.
We
have
some
catch-up
work
to
do
out
there.
A
lot
of
it
was
caused
by
not
being
being
able
to
get
materials
during
sort
of
the
during
covid,
and
so
now
we
have
some
additional
painting
work
to
do.
This
doesn't
include
the
58
000
that
we
currently
have
contracted.
H
L
K
K
K
Yeah
and
I
will
call
out.
We've
got
one
little
Revenue
line,
that's
kind
of
over
on
the
left
hand
side,
so
we
do
collect
right-of-way
permits.
Those
are
curb.
Cuts,
driveways,
anytime,
developer
comes
in,
that's,
usually
25
Grand.
That's
our
one
little
Revenue
contribution
that
that's
kind
of
just
public
works
here.
K
F
K
K
K
It's
it's
really
effective
when
we
have
weather
like
this,
where
it's
kind
of
rainy
and
instead
of
going
out
and
laying
down
like
Road
stall
and
it
bouncing
all
over
and
then
it
raining
and
going
down
the
catch
Basin.
We
could
put
down
this
this
22
solution
and
if
it's
lost,
then
it's
not
as
bad.
So
that's
one
option.
I
I
have
heard
people
say
they
use
molasses
or
some
other
kind
of
funky
materials,
but
that
hasn't
caught
on
yet
yeah.
C
K
Yeah
we're
we
are
actually
exploring
that
right
now,
so
the
chenin
County
there's
a
clean
water
advisory
committee
that
we
sit
on
and
I've
reached
out
to
some
of
the
folks
there
about
potentially
looking
at
Brian
application
because
they're
what
we're
trying
to
find
this
might
begin
too
much
in
the
weeds.
But
yes,
I'll
leave
it
there.
We
are.
We
are
exploring
some
options,
great.
K
All
right
moving
on
so
capital
budget,
so
I
guess.
First,
what
is
the
capital
budget?
I
know
you
all
are
very
well
aware,
but
just
I
guess
for
the
public.
This
is
criteria.
That's
set
up
in
our
financial
policies.
The
capital
plan
is
a
five-year
look
ahead
for
replacing
our
major
assets
and
and
and
performing
projects.
So
and
then
what
is
a
capital
asset?
That's
covered
in
these
thresholds
here,
so
it
has
to
have
a
useful
life
of
three
more
years
and
then
meet
these
Financial
thresholds.
That's
in
our
financial
policies.
K
Some
of
those
items
are
dedicated
reserves
for
Main
Street
in
the
Myers
pool,
so
that
third
column,
the
458
000
that
was
dedicated
Capital
funding
to
support
those
two
initiatives,
part
of
that's
local
option,
tax
revenue
and
part
of
it
was
the
percentage
of
the
rate
increase
in
FY
19.,
so
yeah
I
will
say
prior
to
FY,
19
or
capital
fund
was
just
those
two
first
rows.
So
come
a
long
way
and
then
you
know:
we've
we've.
B
C
C
Council
voted
on
some
of
the
preferred
priorities
for
FY
23
and
consideration
of
the
environmental
components
of
the
master
plan
were
towards
the
top
of
those
priorities
for
Council
and
I.
Don't
see
anything
for
Capital
Improvements
included.
You
know
that
are
proposed
for
fy24.
Can
you
speak
to
that.
K
Yeah
I
would
say:
there's
probably
not
a
specific
Capital
project,
but
there's
elements
of
existing
capital
projects.
So,
for
example,
just
say
the
Main
Street
project,
so
there's
significant
storm
water
improvements
in
in
that
that
Corridor
design
that
we
will
have
to
do
so.
We
have
gravel
Wetlands
that
will
be
incorporated
into
that
project
versus
what's
out
there
now,
where
it's
just
storm
water
running
off
in
the
catch
basins
which
go
directly
into
the
Winooski
river,
that
lighting
will
be
converted
to
more
efficient
LED
lighting,
so
I
I,
don't
think.
K
K
K
H
K
H
K
We
have
some
vehicle,
Replacements
and
annual
Street
resurfacing.
So
on
the
expense
side,
we
we
really
have
two
categories
of
expenses.
So
there's
this
The
Debt
Service.
So
that's
anything!
That's
financed.
It's
usually
a
major
cost
that
we
want
to
kind
of
pay
off
over
multiple
years
and
then
there's
the
one-time,
Capital
expenses,
which.
K
The
annual
Street
resurfacing
mainly
or
small
vehicle
Replacements,
so
for
FY
24
we
have
existing
590
thousand
seven
hundred
nine
dollars
of
existing
debt
payment
that
year.
So
roughly
it's
a
little
over
half
of
our
revenue
is
just
right.
There
is
just
existing
debt
we're
paying
off,
and
what
we're
proposing
for
FY
24
for
new
debt
is
a
replacement.
B
K
An
existing
2012
small
dump
truck
so
an
F
550
dump
truck.
That's
that's
scheduled
for
replacement.
So
that's
a
82
000
dollar
piece
of
equipment.
So
that
is
something
that
we
would
want
to
try
to
break
out
over.
We
would
we
would
do
what's
called
a
lease
and
do
it
over
four
years
so
that
we
have
some
capacity
left
in
our
capital
budget
to
do
some
other
replacement,
work
or
Fleet
replacement.
So
that's
the
only
item
we're
proposing
for
Debt
Service
and
FY
24.
A
G
M
M
A
K
Yeah,
so
this
on
the
ex
Capital
expense
side.
So
this
is
the
one-time
cost,
no
financing.
This
is
where
we
typically
do.
The
annual
Street
resurfacing
work
because
we're
doing
it
every
year
and
when
it
makes
sense
to
to
finance
that
over
multiple
years,
for
you
know
one
project
so
for
Capital
expenses
we
have
the
usual
annual
Street
resurfacing,
which
I'll
I'll
get
into
more
detail
in
the
next
couple.
Slides
on
that
and
then.
K
K
H
K
K
F
K
Adjust
our
Paving
program
because
the
work
that
we're
trying
to
do
was
much
higher
than
was
much
more
than
we
could
afford
that
year.
So,
but
yes
looking
and
we
looked
at
over
the
last
five
years-
and
we
I
can
send
you
that
graph
separately
on
what
we
should
have,
what
we
should
be
spending
for
that
year
and
we
were
always
pretty
significantly
under
budget
for
what
we
should
be
spending.
K
Yeah
to
talk
about
Paving
a
little
bit
more,
so
the
these
are
the
streets
we're
targeting
for
next
next
summer.
So
these
are
it's
over
in
the
Myers
pool
Lander
area,
so
it's
audet
streets,
Pine,
Street,
Shepherd
and
Hall
they're
in
pretty
poor
shape.
So
that's
why
the
the
number
is
much
higher
than
you
know.
We've
we've
typically
done
is
they're.
You
know
if,
if.
K
K
K
K
H
K
There
was
some
there
could
have
been
that
crop
of
interns
may
have
not
I
don't
know,
may
have
overestimated
the
conditions
of
the
roads
in
2016.,
but
you
know
we
we
did
go
out
and
evaluate
as
well
and
they
were
probably
around
that
66
mark,
but
we
we
also
have
done
work
like
Hickok
Street
and
some
we've
kind
of
bolstered
the
paving
program
a
bit
and
we're
we're
trying
to
work
it
back
up
to
a
72.
That's
that's!
Our
goal
is
for
the
class
twos
and
threes.
K
H
F
K
B
K
The
curbing
work
alone
for
all
of
those
streets
was
around
four
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
we
have
you
know
we
budget
around
I
think
200
grand
for
just
Paving
work,
so
we're
still
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
fund
that
project,
whether
it
be
chasing
some
grants
through
btrans,
but
that
is
some
work
that
we're
gonna
have
to
to
do.
Eventually,
we
are
also
trying
to
do
the
sidewalks
in
that
that
area
as
well.
K
The
sidewalks
are
in
very
poor
condition,
so
that
is
something
we'll
have
to
discuss
with
you
all
down
the
road
and
then
just
one
of
the
the
important
things
we
look
at
with
these
streets.
Is
you
can
see
this
this
deterioration
curve,
so
streets
are
a
little
different
than
like,
say
sidewalks
and
other
infrastructure.
They
they
don't
have
linear
deterioration,
it's
much
cheaper
to
to
to
repair
them
when
they're
in
kind
of
satisfactory
condition
before
they
really
deteriorate.
K
So
what
you're,
seeing
in
that
curve
is
you
want
to
resurface
those
streets
before
they
really
start
hitting
that
downslope
and
it
costs
much
more
to
resurface
them
and
then
you're
doing
like
you
know,
you're
getting
into
full
reconstruction
projects
once
the
road
gets
really
bad.
So
that's!
That's.
Sort
of
the
game
we
have
to
play
is
try
to
catch
these
roads
before
they
get.
You
know
too
far
off
and
then
it
costs
us
a
lot
more
to
to
do
that
work.
So
that's
that's
the
takeaway
here.
A
K
F
K
That's
that's
where
we're
trying
to
come
up
with
right
now
is
curbing.
Is
such
a
expensive
piece
of
this
and
we're
trying
to
tie
it
to
the
sidewalks,
because
we
have
to
get
the
curbing
in
to
really
accommodate
the
the
sidewalk
installation,
because
there
basically
is
no
curbing
on
a
lot
of
these
streets
on
this
side
of
town
like
these
three
three
or
four
streets
in
particular.
So
we
have
to
get
the
curbing
in
so
we
can
put
the
sidewalk
at
the
correct
elevation.
So
that's
that's.
What
we're
trying
to
angle
at
for
Grants.
A
G
N
K
N
F
K
I
K
K
The
rate
we're
proposing
is
52
dollars
and
two
cents,
so
that's
eight
dollars
and
four
cents
over
FY,
23
or
18
increase
for
reference
for
a
an
estimated
three-bedroom
household
usage
that
2
200
cubic
feet
is
per
quarter.
That's
about
five
dollars:
six
bucks
a
month
additional
to
that
household
or
18
per
quarter
per
billing
quarter.
K
K
So
here
is
here's
a
comparison
budget
so
for
we're
about
117
000
above
the
FY
23
budget
86
000
of
that
is
the
Champlain
water
district
rate
increase.
So
it's
not
only
rate
increase.
It's
it's
the
amount
that
we're
using.
So
we
we
look
at
historically
how
much
usage
we
have
over
the
over
the
years
and
then
so
that
that
changes
as
well.
So
it
is
86
000
of
this.
This
increase
of
the
hundred
and
seventeen
thousand
and.
M
K
And
then
the
other
piece
of
this
increase,
which
is
about
34
000,
is
the
contract,
salaries
and
benefits
for
those
staff,
and
then
the
remainder
is,
is
the
cost
of
the
increased
cost
of
materials?
Mainly,
you
know,
two
percent
increases
for
a
lot
of
the
the
materials
that
we're
using
I'll
show
that.
K
A
K
Well,
we're
not
we're
not
actually
adding
we're,
not
building
any
Capital
reserves.
This
is
just
a
balanced
budget
to
pay
for
the
existing
Capital.
So
there's
no
there's
no
money
going
to
additional
Capital
reserves,
it's
just
paying
off
existing
Capital
debt
and
this
in
this
budget.
So
we
are
balanced,
at
least
so.
It's
paying
in
this
you'll
see
in
this
chart
it's
paying
for
that
83
474
of
existing
debt,
but
there's
no
new
capital
proposed
in
FY
24.
A
C
G
K
M
K
Yeah
thanks
Angela.
We
we
do
partner
with
USDA
Rural
Waters.
They
they
came
to
town
this
year
to
do
a
pretty
a
city-wide
inventory
of
leak,
detection,
I
will
say
talking
with
some
of
the
developers
a
lot
of
the
you
know
a
lot
of
the
new
form-based
code,
Type
buildings.
Those
are
typically
low
flow
fixtures
that
are
in
those
new
new
buildings.
K
K
C
So
it
it
feels
reactive
to
it.
Just
feels
like
a
reactive
mechanism
to
you
know,
move
forward,
but
upgrade
only
as
needed,
rather
than
being
proactive,
saying:
where
can
we
find
efficiencies?
Where
can
we
Implement
reductions
so
that
we're
saving
the
amount
of
water
saving
on
the
amount
of
water
purchased
and
the
cost
related
to
it?.
C
J
So
it
seems
to
me
that
most
of
this
reduction
would
have
to
come
from
residents,
and
so
at
least
for
this
year
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
budget
for
that,
because
we
couldn't
predict
what
how
much
they
could
conserve
water
John.
Is
that
accurate
that
most
of
the
reduction
in
youth
would
have
to
come
from
residential
customers
or
customers,
rather
rather.
K
C
H
But
if
I
understand
this
I
mean
we're
changing
the
volume
only
matters.
If
you
then
can
cut
a
position,
because
you
have
enough
less
demand
to
necessitate
your
people
running
the
system
to
the
point
that
was
made
originally
like.
If
you
buy
a
thousand
gallons
or
you
buy
2,
000
gallons,
the
rate
stays
the
same.
The
only
change
that
you
can't
change
the
purchase
price
from
CWD.
H
The
only
thing
we
can
change
is
I
understand
it's
a
big
cost
driver
of
years
of
salaries
and
benefits,
which
is
people
so
whatever
efficiency
we
could
realize
would
have
to
result
in
fewer
people.
Working
in
the
Waterfront
am
I
missing
something
here
to
me
it
doesn't
seem
a
volume
question:
it's
a
it's
a
cost
to
deliver
the
whole
system.
Question
am
I
wrong.
H
M
K
K
That
is
mainly
the
make,
is
made
up
of
those
bulletin
items
under
existing
Capital
debt.
So
the
Water
Tower
Supply
allocation
that
we
have
up
on
Water
Tower
Hill
in
Colchester.
We
pay
a
portion
of
that
space,
West
Canal,
Street
reconstruction
work,
water
main
and
then
the
recently
completed,
Hickok
Street
water
main
replacement,
and
then
we
are.
We
are
right
now
estimating
that
the
Main
Street
projects
will
add
an
additional
53
744.
K
Our
water
system
is
mainly
made
up
of
pre-1929
original
cast
iron,
water
mains
and
those
are
all
coming
to
the
end
of
their
useful
life.
So
we're
we're
starting
to
get
to
that
position
where
we
really
need
to
look
at
replacing
water
mains
as
part
of
Street
work
and
resurfacing.
So
we
did
start
that
with
Hickok
Street.
That's
number
this
list.
This
priority
list
is
in
our
water
distribution
master
plan
that
was
done
back
in
2016.
So
these
are
the
priority
water
mains
that
were.
K
Is
based
on
a
bunch
of
criteria,
they
did
hydrant
flow
tests
to
see
what
you
know.
What
how
much
friction
is
in
the
pipe
which
gives
an
indication
of
the
age
and
and
looked
at
as
built
drawing
so
there's
there's
a
few
criteria
that
are
that
are
baked
into
this
list,
but
these
are
the
top
13
that
are
recommended
Replacements,
so
I'm
I
move
this
number
the
estimate
up
in
2021,
that's
obviously
much
bigger
now
so.
K
In
future
needed
water
main
repair
work,
so
in
the
improvements
category
it
shows
short
term
that's
zero
to
ten
years.
Those
should
be
done
and
then
long
term
is
within
the
next
within
10
to
20
years
of
June
2016..
So
this
is
something
that's
in
the
back
of
my
mind:
to
trying
to
get
trying
to
build
some
capacity
in
our
water
funds
so
that
we
can
start
doing
some
of
this
work.
When
we
have,
we
have
the
ability
and
the
timing's
right
and
we
have
some
grant
funding.
F
D
K
We
typically
will
pursue
the
state
revolving
loan
funds,
there's
usually
a
a
grant
involved
with
that.
But
it's
it's
difficult,
because
it's
not
these
aren't
projects
that
we're
just
gonna
do
one-off,
it's
usually
tied
to
like
a
full
Street
reconstruction
project.
So
that's
why
Hickok
Street,
even
though
it's
number
three
on
the
list,
we
did
it
because
the
street
was
in
in
poor
shape
and
the
sewer
needed
to
work,
but
lafountain
street
is
one
where
we're
slowly
pursuing
right
now,
because
that
street
will
probably
need
to
be
resurfaced
in
the
next.
K
K
K
C
K
Yeah
so,
for
example,
Platt
Street
we've
had
quite
a
few
breaks
on
that
street,
even
though
it's
not
shown
on
this
list.
That
is
a
priority
for
us
that
that's
just
not
shown
here
and
when
we
do,
the
updates
that
will
probably
plastery
will
jump
onto
this
list.
I
was
I
suspect,
pretty
high
up
just
because
the
number
of
breaks
that
we've
seen
there
in
the
last
since
2016.
C
K
Anything
else
on
the
waterfronts
before
going
to
the
Sewer
fund:
no
okay,
all
right
moving
on
super
fun
so
similar
to
water
funds.
Difference
here
is
we
own
the
treatment
plan,
so
we
we're
we're
not
buying
water
like
on
the
water
side.
So
that's
that's
an
aerial
view
of
our
wastewater
treatment
plant.
K
K
That's
primarily
due
to
salary
and
benefit
increases
and
you'll,
see
the
I
believe
it's
the
yeah,
the
the
Specialty
Supplies
line.
So
that's
chemical
costs
for
the
treatment
plant.
That
rate
has
gone
up.
There
is
a
decrease
on
the
contract
side
because
we
aren't
proposing
any
any
Professional
Service
work
in
fy24
at
this
point,
no
upwp
projects
or
anything
like
that,
so
that
we
were
able
to
lower
that
contract
line
item.
K
And
then
again,
this
is
just
kind
of
the
overview
again
most
of
it
is
salaries
and
benefits
the
BTV
biosolids,
so
biosolids
that
is
sort
of
the
leftover
solids
from
the
treatment
plant
operations
that
we
have
to
truck
that
to
Burlington
they
dewater
it,
and
then
it
gets
landfilled.
So
that
is
a
pretty
significant
cost
that
that
we
pay
for
155
000.
156
000
annually.
So
that's
a
big
chunk
of
this,
this
pie
here
so
for
the
sewer
fund.
K
We
are
proposing
some
Capital
expenses
this
year,
so
we
similar
to
water
funds,
we've
been
really
holding
back,
trying
to
incrementally
increase
rates,
but
we're
at
the
point
now
where
we've
held
back
a
lot
of
those
capital
projects
and
they
just
they
have
to
get
done
so
those
are
listed
here
so
for
fy24.
What
we're
proposing
are
two
treatment
plant
projects.
K
F
K
K
K
Parking
fun,
so
this
one's
pretty
easy
and
short
so
parking
fund
Capital
plan
only
includes
on
Street
Cascades
garage
future
Abenaki
garage,
no
on
Street
Capital
this
year
for
fy20,
or
no
on
no
on-street
capital
for
FY
24,
which
is
usually
meters,
the
parking
kiosks
and
then
Abenaki
garage
proposed
app
in
Accu
garage.
We
haven't
been
including
that,
because
it's
been,
we.
K
K
That
is
just
the
annual
structural
work
that
we
do
to
maintain
the
decking
and
the
concrete,
and
we
have
a
contractor
that
comes
in
the
season
before
and
identifies
where
we
need
to
address
some
issues.
So
that's
that's
where
that
number
comes
from
these.
These
numbers
are
a
bit
outdated,
but
this
is
what
we
have
in
roughly
it's
it's
lower
now,
but
that's
the
way
we
had
in
CIP
reserves
for
those
specific
items.
K
I
do
want
to
call
out
the
so
these
this
is
the
one
capital
budget
we've
been
I,
that's
I
think
has
been
budgeted
really
well
and
we've
we've
had
some
reserves
for
when
things
break
down,
but
unfortunately
the
this
is
the
funding.
That's
that's
going
to
get
spent
down
to
subsidize
the
Abenaki
garage,
potentially
based
on
the
modeling
that
you
all
saw.
So
that
is.
That
is
something
that
we
we
have
some
concerns
about.
K
If
there
is
an
emergency
in
that
garage
in
the
Cascade
garage
that
you
know,
if
we
have
an
MEP
issue
like
HVAC
system
break
something
that's
unscheduled,
we
might
not
have
the
funding.
We
might
not
have
the
funds
available
depending
what
comes
back
from
the
RFP
for
the
the
finances
for
the
Abenaki
garage
to
address
something
that
happens
so
I
just
I.
Want
you
to
be
aware
that
that
that
is
a
concern
that
that
we
have
on
our
end.
M
C
K
All
right,
almost
at
the
end,
so
emerging
issues,
I
think
you
all
know
most
of
these
and
we've
talked
about
them.
Main,
Street,
construction,
Exit,
16
project,
a
lot
of
disruption
on
the
Main
Street
Corridor
that
we'll
have
to
work
through
some
ongoing
Capital
needs.
You
know
the
paving
that
we
talked
about
the
the
winuskeeper
LinkedIn
Bridge
work,
water
mains,.
H
K
Mention
during
the
water
discussion
is,
there
is
some
additional
regulatory
requirements
that
we're
having
to
work
through
like
on
the
water
side.
We
have
to
do
a
lead
service
inventory,
so
we're
you
know
it's
something
we
have
to
I,
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
a
cost
per
se,
but
it's
just
resource
time
to
put
that
together
and
then,
as
mentioned
just
the
abnaki
garage
and
the
parking
fund.
H
K
Want
to
say
thanks
for
the
time
talking
about
infrastructure
and
thanks
for
the
the
leadership
team
and
all
their
support,
thanks
to
Elaine,
and
especially
thanks
to
the
to
to
my
management
staff,
so
Ryan
and
Joe
and
John
for
just
being
having
great
knowledge
and
Leadership
skills
and
really
appreciate
them.
And,
of
course,
the
staff
like
hey
I
I,
do
presentations
and
spreadsheets,
but
the
guys
on
the
streets
are
the
ones
that
really
make
things
happen
and
keep
the
City
operating.
So
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
respect
for
them.
F
A
A
We
are
back
back
in
the
meeting
before
moving
on
to
Item
B
A
couple
of
follow-ups
for
item
a
Jim
and
I.
Thank
you,
Jim
I'll
see
you
was
able
to
find
notes
from
previous
budget
years,
and
the
situation
with
water
and
wastewater
was
that
we
were
tapping
into
reserves
for
operations,
and
so
we
had
stabilized
to
not
doing
that
anymore,
not
funding
Capital,
so
that
aligns
with
what
staff
just
shared.
Thank
you
for
helping
with
that
I.
A
C
I
do
have
concerns
about
underfunding,
some
operational
needs
for,
like
we
don't
we
don't
have
any
funding
for
traffic
coming
right
now
and
just
knowing
that
we're.
There
are
already
a
number
of
complaints
that
come
in.
We
don't
have
a
good
mechanism
for
tracking
those
right
now,
but
even
if
we
did,
we
don't
have
a
Mecca,
a
mechanism
to
respond
to
those
requests.
C
A
With
us,
so
I
believe
that
we
had
this
discussion
before
and
the
thought
was
that
we
don't
know
we're
not
budgeting
that
for
that,
because
we
don't
know
what
the
costs
are
and
that
those
items
would
be
baked
into
other
Street
projects
as
they
came
up
versus
individual
attempts.
Oh
John
do
e.
Did
you
hear
Bryn's
question
yeah.
K
C
I
find
it
really
hard
to
hear
all
the
complaints-
and
you
know,
have
personally
experienced
some
some
very
fast
driving
on
the
secondary
class
two
class
three
roads
on
crosswalks
that
have
yet
to
be
painted
because
that
budget
hasn't
been
fulfilled
for
the
last
couple
years.
For
various
reasons,
and
then
you
know
we
don't
have
a
mechanism,
we
don't
have
any
funding
to
do
an
evaluation.
We
don't
have
Staffing
Resources
to
do
ourselves,
but
then
to
have
an
excuse
to
say
like
well.
C
We
don't
know
what
the
measure
is
going
to
be,
but
we
don't
and
then
it
comes
back
to
well.
We
don't
have
a
budget
to
implement
any
measures
we
have
anyway,
so
it
just
is.
It
doesn't
sit
right
with
me,
so
I
I
guess,
starting
at
even
just
having
some
funding
for
evaluation
and
third-party
audits.
It
shows
some
momentum
shows
some
progress.
You
know
an
absence
of
anything
else.
C
A
Yeah,
okay,
that's
fair
I
mean
personally
I
I
think
this
is
new
in
addressing
it.
That's
a
small
dollar
amount
of
dressing.
It
out
of
reserves.
Funds
makes
sense,
I,
don't
think
putting
it
into
a
budget.
Restrained
is
something
I
support,
but
I'm.
There
are
two
more
people,
three
more
people
here,
sorry
Thomas.
D
C
N
E
F
E
A
So
we
had
a
conversation
about
the
grant
funded
roles
that
are
being
continued
in
that
budget
and
Jimmy
had
a
good
way.
You
had
a
good
way
of
saying
this.
It
was
like
I
would
like
to
see
the
impact
if
we
didn't
keep
any
of
those
Grant
funded
rules
to
the
core
services
that
Ray
mentioned,
so
it
was
Thrive,
Library,
garden,
senior,
center
meals,
pool
and
soccer
I.
Think
where
the
what
Ray
framed
is
the
core
services,
so
I
actually
don't
know
if
I'm
allowed
to
make
a
motion.
A
A
A
In
public
safety,
yeah,
let's
hold
till
then
yeah
I
do
want
to
make
one
statement
and
I
talked
to
Elaine
about
this
in
Elaine.
Please
correct
me
if
I
misspeak,
but
it's
about
the
use
of
arpa
in
Tiff
revenues,
so
just
to
like
for
all
of
us
to
think
about
this
and
and
for
the
public.
What
is
being
proposed
includes
a
buy
down
of
the
the
tax
increase
using
four
hundred
nine
thousand
dollars
of
arpa
or
Reserves.
H
A
You
know
we
are
almost
certainly
going
to
see
increased
expenses
as
we
do
year
to
year
with
inflation,
and
we
are
putting
some
positions
on
hold
and
hoping
to
bring
them
back,
so
there'll
be
even
additional
costs.
So
there
has
been
a
narrative
that
potentially
with
Tiff
Revenue,
we
could
see
some
flatter
tax
rate
years
and
that
is
highly
unlikely
in
the
scenario
we're
considering
so
just
some
food
for
thought.
H
G
A
I
F
A
A
J
I'm,
basically
going
to
be
reading
from
the
cover
sheet,
so
those
of
you
who
have
digested
that
can
just
tune
me
up
for
a
little
bit
so
on
time.
Meeting
day
of
2018
Winooski
was
among
the
original
six
cities
or
towns.
That
is,
municipalities
that
voted
to
create
Regional
dispatch
for
our
region,
meaning
one
Center
that
would
provide
emergency
dispatch
services
for
those
communities.
This
Regional
dispatch
effort
is
known
as
the
Channing
County
Public
Safety
Authority
or
ccpsa.
J
The
five
Municipal
members,
as
of
October
2022
or
Burlington
Colchester
South,
Burlington,
Williston
and
Winooski
in
November
of
2022.
The
Williston
select
board
decided
to
include
only
fire
which,
for
them
includes
ambulance
fire
dispatch
services
from
ccpsa
in
their
fiscal
year,
2023-2024
budget,
which
is
the
same
year.
That
council
is
considering
now
on
November
29th
2022,
the
Colchester
select
board
voted
to
remove
all
ccpsa
contributions
from
their
fiscal
year
2023-2024
budget.
J
They
also
notified
the
ccpsa
board
that
Colchester
does
not
intend
to
pay
the
fiscal
year
2022-2023,
meaning
current
year
additional
contribution
requested
by
ccpsa
that
would
have
helped
meet
startup
costs
for
the
regional
dispatch
on
December
19
2022.
The
ccpsa
board
discussed
whether
and
how
Regional
dispatch
could
continue.
Under
these
funding
constraints.
J
South
Burlington,
City,
Manager,
Jesse
baker,
said
South.
Burlington
was
interested
in
providing
dispatch
services
for
other
municipalities
in
the
meantime,
assuming
that
at
some
point,
Regional
dispatch
would
be
ready
to
be
stood
up
again.
Jesse
baker
said
it
would
take
a
few
months
for
them
to
come
up
with
a
proposal.
J
J
My
recommended
budget
also
includes
an
amount
for
administrative
support
for
the
police
department,
which
is
really
specifically
geared
towards
records
management
that
we
would
still
need
to
do
for
ourselves
for
police.
Even
if
dispatch
Services
were
provided
by
ccpsa.
Currently,
records
are
records.
J
2023-2024
budget
to
give
us
some
flexibility
to
respond
to
a
South
Burlington
proposal
to
provide
dispatch
services
to
Winooski,
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I'm
not
asking
you
to
do
anything
right
now
per
se
of
course,
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
The
reason
why
I'm
explaining
this
now
is
so
that
you
have
some
time
to
think
about
it.
J
In
case
you
have
questions
for
the
police
or
fire
Services
next
week,
when
you
receive
their
budget
presentation,
also
to
make
sure
that
that
there's
some
public
understanding
of
why
I'm
still
proposing
Regional
dispatch
expenses.
Even
though
there
is
public
awareness
of
uncertainty
that
Regional
dispatch
can
be
stood
up
in
the
next
fiscal
year,.
D
J
Right,
that's
a
good
question
and
fire
and
police
will
get,
can
get
into
more
detail
next
week,
as
you
mentioned,
but
right
now
so
our
it.
There
are
some
challenges,
especially
for
fire.
Dispatching
it's
there,
it's
not
to
say
they
aren't
surmount
that
they
can't
be
addressed,
but
part
of
the
part
of
the
reason
why
Council
was
interested
in
Regional
dispatch
back
in
the
day
in
the
community.
J
My
understanding
is
the
community
voted
for
this,
because
there
is
the
potential
for
cost
savings
for
Winooski
to
have
Regional
dispatch
for
both
fire
and
police
through
Regional
dispatch.
So
as
long
as
that's
the
case,
then
there's
a
reason
to
keep
pursuing
it.
If
that,
if
that
is
not
the
case,
for
example,
if
we
can't
stand
up
a
center
without
Colchester
and
only
or
potentially
only
doing
fire
at
a
lesser
cost
than
right,
there
there's
other
avenues
that
we
might
need
to
explore.
I
J
B
H
E
I
have
a
question
which
this
might
also
lean
more
to
next
time,
thinking
about
this
budget
as
a
level
service
budget,
I,
guess
how
does
this
this
kind
of
regional
dispatch,
especially
considering
the
issues
arising
from
it
kind
of
fit
into
a
level
service
budget
similar
to
the
mayor's
concerns
about
continuing
Esser
funded
positions?
This
feels
like
it
might
go
beyond
this
idea
of
level
Services,
especially
considering
how
much
of
or
that
it
is
such
an
increase
on
the
budget.
Yes.
J
Actually,
it
is
not
a
I
did
not
recommend
a
level
Services
budget
I.
It
was
a
confusing
I.
You
know,
there's
I
presented
three
scenarios,
a
level
service
budget.
What
that
would
look
like,
but
what
was
the
other
one?
I've
forgotten
the
middle
one,
but
the
third
one
is
actually
my
budget,
which
is
a
mix
of
what
we
need
to
be
investing
in,
which
was
really
just
Regional
dispatch
because
of
the
the
near-term
commitments,
Some,
Cuts
and
level,
and
then
the
rest
is
like
level
services.
J
J
Right,
so
you
might
look
back
on
that
slide.
In
from
my
budget
presentation,
there
was
like
pluses
and
minuses
and
red
and
green,
and
so
that
that
was
like
of
my
attempt
at
a
visual
representation
of
what
could
be
considered
level
because
it's
in
Black
what's
considered
a
cut
or
a
hold
in
with
a
minus
and
green,
because
it's
a
revenue.
You
know
it
provides
some
capacity
in
the
budget
and
then
the
red
is
adding
to
the
budget.
E
J
Right,
it
is
something
that
council
could
consider
again.
The
the
recommendation
for
me
after
Consulting
with
the
Chiefs,
is
to
include
it
but
yeah,
so
there's
something
that
you
can
consider
leaving
out
for
this
year.
My
understanding
is
that
South,
Burlington
and
Burlington
South
Burlington
wants
to
move
forward
and
has
the
resources
to
move
forward.
Burlington
has
to
move
forward
with
some
they
need.
J
They
need
additional
capacity
for
dispatching
so
they're
going
to
do
something,
no
matter
what
whether
or
not
our
participation
in
that
kind
of,
hopefully,
a
transition
phase
from
the
CCPA
perspective
of
whether
that
is
going
to
make
a
difference
to
them
or
not.
I,
don't
know,
my
guess
is
we're
a
relatively
small
player,
so
it
might
not
make
a
huge
difference.
J
So
we
I
don't
know
that
us
postponing
a
year
would
necessarily
threaten
the
viability
of
an
eventual
Regional
dispatch.
Again,
that's
speculation.
We
haven't
seen
the
numbers
haven't
seen
that
opinion
from
South
Burlington,
but
if
you're,
just
looking
from
in
terms
of
viability
for
ccpsa
Enter,
if
you're
just
looking
at
the
Winooski
budget,
that's
the
choice
that
you
you
do
have
available
to
you.
J
I'll
also
mention
that
Williston
has
to
do
well.
I
shouldn't
say
have
to
my
understanding
is
that
they
are
expecting
to
join
Regional
dispatch
with
police
dispatch.
In
three
years
they
had
to
act
now
to
secure
a
contract
for
police
dispatching
because
they
lost
State
dispatching
services
for
police.
J
J
J
E
J
J
J
Right
there
was
the
anticipation
that
once
they
joined
there
would
be
some
sort
of
refunding
going
on
gotcha.
That
was
so
like
we
hadn't
even
stood
it
up.
It
just
didn't
seem
worth
mentioning
at
that
point
because
there
was
so
much
uncertainty,
but
that
is
that
is
been
the
Assumption
among
the
members
for
some
time.
Gotcha.
F
C
J
That
is
a
good
question.
I,
don't
know
if
Rick
can
predict
what
crime
rates
are
going
to
be,
but
certainly
all
you
know
all
the
steps
that
they
do
and
the
fire
department
do
for
early
intervention
and
prevention
on
the
Fireside.
It's
Community
risk
reduction
activities.
It's
inspection.
You
know
public
building
registry
activity
on
the
police
side,
it's
community,
policing,
building
relationships,
I
would
say
it
even
goes
into
Community
Services.
In
terms
of
like
making
sure
people,
don't
you
know,
feel
included
and
don't
feel
like
they've
got
a
the
Southern
Avenue.
J
I
see
right,
I'll
ask
Rick
to
see
if
what
he
can
say
to
that
next
time,
I
will
say
that
just
to
respond
a
Nuance
on
what
you
said
earlier
is
crimes
are
being
uninvested
gone
uninvestigated
because
of
lack
resources
that
it's
not
perfectly
accurate.
There
is
investigation
and
follow-up,
but
there
isn't
necessarily
is
the
tools,
the
same
tools
that
we
used
to
have
to
resolve
those
more
quickly,
so
that
that
means
that
other
resources
have
to
be
brought
to
bear.
J
Yep,
thank
you
for
that
opportunity
to
to
explain
it
here
and
encourage
you
to
to
you
know,
ask
work
for
any
details.
He
feels
appropriate
to
share
next
week.
Some
people
have
reached
out
to
me
directly
and
I've
tried
to
do
that,
but
yeah
I
think
you're
right
like
any
chance
to
explain
that
Nuance
is
important.
Thank.
A
J
The
petition
signatures
were
submitted
to
the
city
clerk
by
staff
of
the
non-profit
rights
and
democracy,
just
in
case
there's
any
confusion
out
there,
where
the
source
of
this
language
is
as
is
required
by
State
Statute.
You
know,
regardless
of
whoever
wrote
it.
The
city
clerk
examined
the
signatures
from
the
petition
and
accepted
it,
meaning
that
also
by
State
Statute
city
council
is
now
required
to
place.
J
The
proposed
Charter
change
on
the
next
ballot,
which
is
March,
7th,
2022
and
council,
is
only
allowed
to
make
technical
changes
to
the
language,
meaning
that
they
don't
change.
The
substance
of
The
Proposal,
also
city
clerk,
Jenny
Willingham
alerted
me
today
that
we
need
to
warn
the
charter
change
by
this
Friday.
So
if
I
had
realized
that
earlier,
we
would
have
warned
this
agenda
tonight
a
little
bit
differently.
But
I'll
ask
you
to
to
approve
the
warning
anyway,
so
that
we
can
meet
that
statutory
deadline.
J
So
the
proposed
Charter
change
language
is
largely
the
same
as
what
was
approved
by
the
Vermont
legislature
for
the
Burlington
Charter
and
was
subsequently
vetoed
by
governor
Scott
in
2022.
So
just
in
case
folks
have
been
following
this
The
Saga
between
Burlington
and
normanewski.
You've
probably
seen
the
language
before
I
consulted
the
City
attorney,
and
there
are
three
technical
changes
that
are
needed
to
the
proposed
Charter
change,
signed
by
the
by
five
percent
of
Winooski
voters.
J
Actually,
more
than
five
percent
changing
the
Vermont
statute,
reference
in
the
first
paragraph
from
24
VSA
2691
would
have
to
be
changed
to
17
BSA,
section
2645.
This
is
fairly
technical,
that
the
2645
section
addresses,
among
other
things,
that
Municipal
Charters
may
be
amended
by
a
petition
of
five
percent
of
Voters
in
the
municipality.
J
Actually,
that's
just
it's
just
a.
What
do
you
call
it
like
a
Prelude
to
the
weren't?
What
would
be
the
warning?
So
you
all
don't
even
really
need
to
worry
about
that
changing
the
reference,
the
another
another
technical
change
that
will
be
needed,
that
for
the
warning
on
the
ballot
that
would
be
changing
from
Vermont
state
acts
of
1949
number
298
that
relates
to
Burlington.
J
J
J
J
So
all
that
said
tonight
we
have
three
asks
for
you,
one
to
approve
the
warning
with
the
technical
changes
to
ask
you
when
you
want
to
hold
the
hearings
for
anyone's
benefit,
but
also
that
they
have
to
be
in
the
morning
and
then.
Finally,
this
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
lengthier,
whether
you
want
to
direct
staff
to
prepare
information
to
present
this
is.
J
It
is
a
little
bit
dicey
when
staff
or
Council
are
trying
to
educate
the
public
regards
to
ballot
items
that
we
did
not
draft,
because
it
could
be
perceived
as
trying
to
sway
the
public
one
way
or
the
other.
So
it
is
it's
not
a
straightforward,
necessarily
A,
straightforward
question
for
you
to
say
yes
or
no.
You
want
to
or
staff
staff
to
prepare
information
to
prevent.
J
We
also
need
to
avoid
the
appearance
of
unduly
influencing
the
vote.
For
example,
undo
influence
could
be,
like
you
know,
really
a
hard-nosed
advocacy
for
or
against,
like
if
we
said,
vote
no
or
vote
Yes
that
could
be
perceived
as
potentially
unduly
influencing
just
a
reminder.
Our
for
the
public.
Our
job
is
to
staff
to
carry
out
the
will
of
the
voters,
and
part
of
that
is
doing
the
best.
We
can
to
understand
what
the
world
voters
truly
is
and
that's
why
there's
an
education
effort
in
there
potentially?
J
Even
then,
there's
still
recourse
for
the
community
if
Council
decided
not
to
consider
an
ordinance
or
did
consider
it
and
didn't
adopt
it.
Voters
could
still
petition
an
ordinance
in
a
similar
way
that
you
positioned
this
Charter
change.
So
just
some
clarification
on.
Even
if
this
all
passed
and
voters
passed
it,
you
would
not
see
the
effects
right
away.
A
B
A
C
So
I
would
want
to
advise
against
a
Friday
I
know
that
we
have
limited
options
in
limited
time,
but
I
I
do
think
that
a
Friday
meeting
is
inadvisable
if
we
can
at
all
avoid
avoid
it
to
your
other
question.
Yes,
I'm
available
I
can
attend
and
then
also
I
would
expect
City
staff
to
be
in
attendance,
for
whatever
public
hearing
is
vivil
to
answer
questions
that
council's
not
available
not
well
versed
to
answer.
G
C
B
I
B
E
J
A
B
H
A
H
F
J
A
Carries
so
let's
talk
about
education
and
Outreach,
then
I
think
what
would
be
helpful
then
Elaine.
You
mentioned
like
an
info
sheet.
I
feel
like
we
could
align,
maybe
tonight
on
what
the
pieces
are
of
that
and
then
have
have
you
staff
bring
it
back
to
your
future
meeting
and
then
so.
Let's
talk
about
that
and
then
we
can
talk
about
further,
like
distribution,
Outreach.
A
A
E
A
H
I'm
wondering
if
it's
almost
useful
to
say
what
the
time,
what
the
recent
history
of
work
is,
this
isn't
just
out
of
the
blue,
like
this
Turner
change
has
been
considered
in
this
body
and
in
that
body,
for
this
topic
has
been
considered
involved.
I
think
it'd
be
helpful
to
have
that
history.
That
was
not
a
a
new
thing
that
cities
reacting
to
this-
something
that's
been
disgusting.
Several
things.
E
H
A
C
F
A
H
H
Yeah
and
my
my
one
concern
is
one
reason
that
this
body
chose
not
to
progress.
This
on
its
own
is
the
staff
resource
costs
and
the
Housing
Commission
is
currently
this
this
month
is
a
pretty
big
lift
for
prepping
for
the
housing
quality
discussions
which
we
prioritize
at
the
commission
and
Council.
So
I
don't
want
to
under
resource
the
discussion
of
the
charter
change,
but
I
want
to
be
careful
that
we
don't
effectively
do
that
by
requiring
too
much
additional
data
analysis
for
this,
because
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we.
F
H
J
A
C
H
L
You
you'll
see
some
of
that
next
week
in
my
presentation.
I
can't
get
my
video
to
come
up
so
I
apologize
for
that,
but
you
will
see
some
of
the
workload
number
of
inspections
we're
doing
categories
as
as
far
as
the
code
steps
types
of
inspections
we're
doing,
meaning
the
Life
Safety
Code
versus
the
Vermont
rental
codes,
I'm,
not
sure
how
those
equate
to
the
eviction
processes
or
number
of
evictions.
We
we've
never
looked
at
that
data
in
that
in
that
lens
right.
F
E
H
H
B
F
J
H
J
F
A
H
Think
it's
an
important
lens
to
bring
to
our
someone
because
privileged
position
as
policymakers
and
not
City
staff,
to
like
we
can
make
that
contextual
like
at
least
how
we
viewed
this
right.
If
we're
going
to
talk
about
under
resourcing
or
potentially
de-resourcing
some
part
of
our
housing
board
in
order
to
support.
I
H
Like
if
that
could
look
to
us
like
a
reduction
in
equity
for
some
of
our
residents
and
that's
I,
think
that's
worth
having
that
conversation
and
being
able
to
have
that
conversation.
So
I
definitely
I
appreciate
you
bringing
it
up
and
when
we
see
those
operational,
Financial
impacts,
I
think
we
can
communicate
what
that
means.
H
E
J
Well,
so
the
warning
is
what
literally,
what
you
just
approved
tonight
right
so
that
it
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
being
able
to
influence
that
what
you!
If,
since
IMB,
is
meeting
next
week,
including
belongings,
meeting
next
week,
they
you
could
potentially
ask
for
their
input
and
then
incorporate
that
into
the
info
sheet.
I
think
if
I
can
scrounge
the
time
it.
E
I
guess
two
different
things
that
I
I
could
see
is
just
bringing
the
language
of
the
draft
or
what
was
approved
by
Council.
If
we
do
approve
something
on
the
9th
to
inclusion
and
belonging.
So
they
have
that
heads
up
and
to
kind
of
continue
with
another
thought
of
just
talking
to
inclusion
and
belonging
about
any
ideas
they
might
have
about
ways.
The
city
can
reach
out
to
community
members
and
engage
people
in
attending
these
meetings.
I
think
that's
probably
the
biggest
thing
and
something
that
inclusion
belonging
is
already
gonna
talk.
A
I
think
that's
the
same
discussion,
because
we
want
to
tap
them
on
budget
Outreach.
The
budget
presentation
is
going
to
include
this
Charter
change
right
and
I.
Think
we
need
to
be
to
I
mean
whatever
I
think
would
be
beneficial
to
do
a
similar
amount
of
Outreach
like
align
Outreach
on
these
two
efforts.
We
have
this
Charter
change
and
also
this
important
budget
decision
to
make
so
I
you.
You
already
have
a
schedule
to
talk
about
budget
Outreach
right
I
would
add
this
to
that.
A
I
A
F
H
I
think
it'd
be
good
to,
if
possible,
have
that
image
gives
you
a
little
more
breathing
in
Elaine
in
terms
of
developing
content
or
having
some
of
their
experts
in
the
process,
and
that
could
be.
You
know
there
might
not
need
to
be
a
lot
of
discussion,
because
the
content
is
essentially
the
same,
but
having
a
chance
to
win
like
well.
This
is
actually
going
to
be
on
the
ballot.
What
would
you
like
to
have
the
Housing
Commission
share
educate?
What
are
those
key
points
that
they
would
bring
to
a
discussion?
They
never
got.
O
You
know
I
can
speak
to
that.
A
little
bit,
I
mean
you're
going
to
need
at
least
two
weeks
depending
on
the
volume
of
what
you're
translating
I
mean.
There's
a
lot
of
considerations
for
this
right.
So
if
we're
thinking
about
like
a
one-page
handout,
an
informational
flyer,
you
know
we'll
want
to
distill
that
information
I
think
you
know
with
his
Universal
reading
level
as
possible
once
that
happens,
and
we
get
it
over
to
either
aalv
or
a
different,
a
different
partner.
O
It
can
take
up
to
two
weeks
to
get
that
kind
of
stuff
done.
I
I
can't
promise
anything
but
I
think
even
more
importantly
than
getting
stuff,
just
translated
on
onto
paper
is
making
sure
that
that
is
is
delivered
in
a
way.
That's
actually
going
to
reach
people.
You
know
one-on-one
meetings
with
stakeholders
and
the
Winooski
School,
District,
Liaisons
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
I
think
that's
the
other.
The
other
heavy
piece
there
too.
Okay.
A
The
thing
is
going
on
the
ballot,
no
matter
what
the
way
that
it
was
petitioned
so
like
normally
when
we
hold
public
hearings,
it's
because
we're
taking
input
to
like
change
language
or
change
action.
That's
not
happening
in
this
scenario,
so
it
would
be
ideal
to
be
able
to
provide
Flyers
at
those
meetings.
C
B
I
B
A
H
H
E
I
I
wonder
too:
if
even
if
we
had
a
pretty
solid
draft
that
we
could
provide
to
any
interpreters,
that
could
be
there
either
on
26
if
possible,
but
definitely
on
the
fourth.
Then
they
at
least
have
some
time
with
that
content
and
can
ask
the
city
any
questions
about
or
any
clarifying
questions
they
might
have.
J
Elaine,
so,
just
to
your
earlier
comment
about
what
the
point
of
the
public
hearings
are,
of
course,
you're
right.
It's
not
like
a
typical
where
you're
looking
for
input
so
as
to
revise,
but
the
purpose
in
this
case
is
to
make
sure
that
anyone
voting
knows
what
is
in
the
information
sheet,
essentially
yeah,
to
inform
their
vote.
J
E
A
E
A
H
H
We
have
to
produce
information.
We
know
what
information
we
want
to
produce.
We
would
like
to
translate
it
before
people
have
to
make
an
important
choice.
I
think
that
and
that
we
have
enough
time
to
distribute
that
information,
and
so
I
would
prefer
to
focus
our
efforts
on
a
later
engagement
pattern
that
would
get
that
information
most
effectively
out
to
the
most
number
of
people.
We
have
to
do
something
on
the
26th,
so
I'd
say
we
do
the
best
we
can,
because
any
education
opportunity
is
better
than.
F
H
C
C
Having
the
first
hearing
I
mean
those
sound
like
two
essential
elements
that
counselors
have
requested
an
opportunity
to
have
time.
I
like
eyes
on,
and
feedback
or
dedicated
feedback
for
so
I
I.
Think
yeah
to
some
education
is
better
than
none.
So
I
I'd,
like
to
I,
would
also
like
to
see
that
we
have
something
ready
for
the
26th,
even
if
we're
not
able
to
have
it
and
translated
and
as
we
would
prefer
to.
If
we
had
more
time.
H
F
H
It
could
be
like
this
info
sheet
could
be
supported
by
the
passport
of
the
Housing
Commission
without
persuading
for
the
Housing
Commission
to
look
at
it.
I'm.
Not
sure,
though,
because
it
wasn't
really
a
I,
don't
know
if
any
can
speak
on
behalf
of
the
commission.
Given
the
way
the
conversation
unfolded,
so
I
don't
know
just
amusing
there,
but
I
do
see.
H
B
D
H
L
H
They've
discussed
many
of
these
data
points
in
the
past,
but
I
don't
think
this
is
a
first
look
for
them
of
the
topic
and
that's
why
I
don't
I,
don't
know
that
they
need
to
be
the
ones
that
generate
fact-based
information.
They
could
generate
a
position.
It
wouldn't
be
unanimous
and
I
would
expect
it
wouldn't
be
unanimous
and
they've
been,
but
we
would
have
put
that
in
effect
she
I
don't
think
yeah
and
victory.
Commissioners
could
express
that
opinion
in
public
experience,
but
so
I
don't
know
that.
H
H

A

I

O
A

J
Okay,
so
federal
law
and
regulate
Federal
Regulations
require
local
governments
to
develop
Hazard
mitigation
plans
in
order
to
be
eligible
for
disaster
funding
from
the
Federal
Emergency,
Management,
Administration
or
FEMA.
These
plans
need
to
be
updated
every
five
years.
Having
and
implementing
Hazard
mitigation
plans
can
reduce
the
impact
of
Hazards
when
they
strike
and
so
can
reduce
the
cost
of
taxpayers
from
recovering
from
natural
or
human
cause,
damage
or
just
on
your
own
budget
as
the
resident
or
a
business
owner
in
Vermont.
The
State
Department
of
Emergency
Management
sets
the
update
process.
J
Our
plan
is
an
Annex
of
the
county-wide
plan.
The
document
is
not
a
very
technical
one.
It
is
intended
to
guide
city
leaders
and
staff,
but
there's
information
in
it
that
should
interest
residents,
business
owners
and
those
who
are
often
in
Winooski.
The
maps
are
particularly
interesting.
So,
for
example,
there's
a
map
on
where
the
critical
facilities
are
like
Vermont
Gas
Service
areas.
There's
another
map
where
the
flood
zone
is
flood
zones.
J
J
There
could
be
a
significant
economic
or
environmental
damage.
However,
there's
another
section
on
how
we
ranked
the
hazard
risks
for
natural
risks
as
you'd
expect
from
the
history
we
ranked
storms
as
high,
we
didn't
rank
any
technological
hazards.
This
High
the
One
societal
Hazard.
We
ranked
as
high
was
crime
on
another
page
you'll
see
the
typical
vulnerabilities
of
Hazards
of
high
highest
concern,
meaning
how
and
who
would
be
impacted
in
case
of
the
hazard-like
funding.
J
There's
another
section
on
high
crash
locations
and
Roads,
which
is
might
be
of
interest
to
the
public.
You
can
also
see
what
Technical
and
fiscal
capacity
capabilities
the
city
has
to
support
management
of
Hazards
and
reducing
vulnerabilities
and
then
finally,
you'll
see
the
action
plan.
Most
of
that
is
really
responsible
management
infrastructure,
which
should
be
what
cities
do
as
a
matter
of
course.
J
H
I
can
I
can
raise
my
comments
now.
Thank
you.
Elaine,
the
one
I
to
one
is
there's
a
reference
to
the
hazards
from
35
crashes
in
the
city.
There's
the
most
recent
one
of
several
was
a
few
weeks
ago
in
Fort
Worth,
so
I
think
that
Sports
continuing
to
keep
an
eye
on
as
a
hazard
to
our
city
that
we
don't
have
much
control
over,
but
certainly
will
be
impacted
by
their
intake
off.
H
H
H
So
if
it's
not
already
here,
it's
going
to
be
here
in
the
next
year
or
two
and
I
will
Hazard
that
by
the
time
the
next
time,
this
Hazard
plan
is
updated
fully
in
five
years,
that
many
of
our
ash
trees
will
be
dead
and
falling
apart,
and
that
represents
significant
risks
of
life
and
property
in
the
city
as
they
fail
and
a
huge
burden
of
cost
to
removed
by
the
city
solely
in
our
public
areas,
let
alone
what
people
face
in
the
private
area,
private
residences
or
private
lands.
So.
H
J
Of
Vermont
Air
National,
Guard,
Colonel
Finnegan,
and
at
that
time
you
know,
I
took
him
at
face
Dolly,
who
said
that
I
think
it
was
like
half
a
million
hours
of
flight
time
with
f-35s,
and
there
was
one
crash
over
where
there
was
over
a
million
dollars
of
damage.
Something
like
don't
quote
me
on
the
details.
My
notes
are
in
my
notebook,
which
are
in
my
office,
so
the
based
on
that
I
thought
that
the
risk
was
low
enough,
that
we
wouldn't
mention
it.
J
But
of
course
it's
up
to
you
if
it's
something
that
you
feel
that
we
should
be
addressing
I
would
suggest
that
it
be
include
if
you
do
want
to
do
that,
that
we
do
it
in
the
next
annual
update
just
because
we're
already
a
bit
behind
not
to
any
fault
of
the
cities,
but
the
state
is
hoping
to
wrap
up.
This
particular
update.
A
H
I
think
the
one
one
question
that
Rose
during
the
basing
decision
and
discussion
afterwards
was
that
there's
a
there's,
a
fundamental
difference
in
the
materials
on
the
plane,
including
exploded
to
hazardous
chemicals,
should
that
one
of
those
crash
in
a
highly
populated
area-
and
it's
very
it's
fundamentally
different
from
a
commercial
airliner
and
that
those
emergency
response
details
were
never
shared
with
the
city
as
I
understand
it.
So
what
happens
if
a
plane
crashes
here?
How
do
you
how
many?
How
far
does
the
hazardous
chemical
exposure
spread
like
we
don't?
H
As
far
as
I
know,
we've
ever
received
that
information,
so
I
think
that
that's
I
think
that
it
is
a
difference
craft
than
anything
else.
That's
flying
out
of
the
airport
at
this
time,
I
think
it's
worth
it's
worth
us
having
an
understanding
of
what
hazard
virtually
facing
in
terms
of
life
safety
for
the
crash
here.
It's
a
physical
book
record
there's
also
the
chemical
footprint.
H
A
D
And
then
in
the
History
Section
again
very
light,
but
it
kind
of
ends
on
a
negative
note.
So
I
was
wondering,
if
maybe
we
could
include
some
newer
history,
like
maybe
like
our
100
Year
celebration
or
the
election
of
a
first
female
mayor,
I,
think
ending
on
the
dismissal
of
a
city
manager.
I.
Think
we've
done
a
lot
since
then,
so.
D
I
was
I
was
just
saying
that
it
ends
in
2008
and
ends
on
a
negative
note.
Personally,
I
just
don't
think
that's
a
good
way
to
end
it.
We've
done
some
good
things.
Since
then,
I
recommended
that
we've
elected
a
female
mayor
that
we've
celebrated
our
hundred
years.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
either
of
those
things
happy
for
anybody
to
come
up
with
something
else.
I
F
M
E
J
C
J
C
A
A
A
L
F
L
L
J
A
C
C
J
J
I
E
A
J
This
feels
like
a
little
luxurious,
but
that's
timely
in
a
way,
so
mostly
reading
from
my
cover
sheet
and
arts
district
is
proposed
and
the
city's
master
plan
and
economic
development
plan,
while
public
art
is
not
a
party
of
councils
for
this
fiscal
year.
I'm
asking
you
for
a
direction
now
because
of
a
potential
opportunity.
This
spring
anecdotally.
J
There
was
an
increase
in
graffiti
in
the
city
during
the
pandemic
credit
to
councilor
Oakley,
to
pointing
that
out
to
me
very
early
on
in
my
tenure
studies
show
that
murals
can
deter
tagging
and
other
so-called
nuisance
graffiti.
At
least.
One
organization
is
interested
in
doing
this
in
Winooski
this
spring,
which
is
the
opportunity
we're
referring
to
along
the
Riverwalk,
but
other
individuals
or
organizations
may
also
be
interested
and
I
would
recommend
any
such
work
be
paid
for.
J
Uses
of
the
fun
shall
include
reading
from
the
enabling
art
related
opportunities
from
for
residents
to
enjoy
installations
and
Exhibits
to
enhance
the
cityscape
and
the
use
of
the
Arts
to
promote
a
sense
of
Pride
cultural
expression
and
celebration
of
Winooski
thanks
to
Angela
for
digging
that
out,
we
have
no
existing
procedure
or
policy
to
replenish
this
fund.
The
current
balance
in
the
public
art
fund
is
five
thousand
five
hundred
and
one
dollars
made
up
of
some
Council
pledges
and
a
donation.
So
I
have
two
questions
for
you
tonight.
A
E
Yeah
I
I
think
it
sounds
like
a
great
opportunity,
I
think,
with
especially
looking
at
the
language
of
The
Pride
cultural
expression
and
celebration,
if
this
might
be
good
for
either
inclusion
and
belonging
or
POS,
maybe
safe,
healthy,
connected
people
trying
not
to
overload
inclusion
and
belongings
plate
or
just
popped.
In
my
mind,
I
wonder
even
if
the
the
library
committee
might
have
ideas,
if
maybe
they
they
know
folks
in
the
community
who
might
be
interested
in
doing
work
like
this.
E
I
J
A
C
Yeah,
so
my
my
impression
is
supporting
the
question
is:
do
you
want
to
support
this
opportunity
this
spring
as
question?
One
and
question
two?
Is
we
don't
have
a
procedure
or
policy
at
all?
Do
we
want
to
assign
something
to
one
of
one
of
the
commissions
if
any
of
the
commissions?
So
that's
that's
how
I'm
interpreting
what
your
question
is.
Elaine
is
that
is
that
correct?
Well,.
J
So
a
Nuance
on
question
one
is
that
there
is
an
organization,
that's
interested
and
they've
a
couple
months
ago.
They
quoted
me
three
thousand
dollars
that
would
almost
deplete
the
fund
right.
It
would
be
more
than
half
so
part
of
my
question
is:
if
you
want,
if
you
wanted
to
proceed
with
that,
then
I'm
not
sure
how
much
more
like
Christine
said.
I,
don't
know
that
you
need
a
lot
more
input
from
commit
a
commission
and
there
will
be
a
low
lift
and
it
goes
on
from
there
right.
So.
C
So
I
I
would
say
that
those
are
excellent
follow-up
questions.
It
sounds
like
this.
The
intent
was
for
this
public
Arts
fund
to
be
something
that
continues
well
into
the
future,
and
it
is
and
is
not
a
one-time,
but
you
know
say:
if
there's
additional
history
there
that
I'm
missing
you
know
please
correct
me
so
I
would
almost
see
a
the
role
of
a
commission
is
like
how
could
funding
be
like
two
parts?
C
B
C
So
the
question
question:
one
being:
do
we
want
to
do
art
this
spring?
We
already
have
somebody
who
has
proposed
to
do
a
project
and
has
already
provided
a
budget
estimate.
Do
we
want
a
commission
to
review
that
particular
project?
I?
Don't
feel
strongly
about
that?
Do
we
want
to
commission
to
review
funding
allocations,
moving
forward
and
project
like
procedures,
guidelines
moving
forward?
Sure,
yes,
I
I
do
support
that
side
of
things.
J
A
Feel
I
feel
the
opposite.
I
think
we've
got
this
money,
that's
been
sitting
here
forever
unused.
We
have
someone
ready
to
use
it.
Let
them
use
it.
Have
a
have.
A
commission
they'll
have
some
input
on
on
like
review
their
proposal.
I,
don't
think
it's
a
priority
to
develop
guidelines
or
funding
mechanisms
for
this
fund.
Given
all
the
other
things
we
have
happening.
F
H
Disagree:
one
beginning
that
we
have
no
plan
to
re-up
it.
Any
policies
and
procedures
we
would
develop
would
be
solid
for
the
distribution
of
five
thousand
dollars,
which
is
a
lot
of
some
cost
per
a
small
pot.
I
would
be
tempted
to
put
this
to
the
state
that
my
inclinations,
but
this
is
safe,
healthy,
connected
people,
commission
ask
them
to
review
the
project
and
also
part
of
that
review.
Question
is:
is
this
the
best
use
of
this
fund
at
this
time?
Or
do
you
want
to
see
a
competitive
proposal
process
like
I?
H
H
F
E
C
I
I
would
highly
Advocate
that
we
that
we
do
consider
for
economic
Vitality
purposes
for
municipal
infrastructure
purposes,
stability
connected
purposes,
I
mean
it's,
it's.
Those
are
interconnected
value,
opportunities
and
I.
Think
it's
it's
something
that
could
be
considered
as
you
know
that
something
the
commission
can
consider
funding
opportunities,
not
necessarily
that
are
exclusive
to
City
allocation.
C
So
there
is
not
a
cap
that
I
know
of
with
the
downtown
Winooski
allocation.
I
believe
that
we
just
approved
a
five
percent
and
so
having
a
potential
cap
on
the
the
city's
contributions
in
downtown
Winooski
could
allow
for
a
percentage
of
economic
Vitality
funding
to
be
allocated
towards
the
public
Arts
fund.
E
A
B
E
E
Do
have
a
little
bit
of
review
process
just
to
make
sure
you
know
there
isn't
I,
don't
know
something
that
comes
that
is
flagged
by
the
safe,
healthy
connected
people,
commission
just
to
have
that
second
look
and
kind
of
float.
That
idea
of
you
know
get
it
yeah
if
they
think
we
should
do
a
slightly
different
process
or
specifically
the
Springer
spring
summer,
and
then
I
don't
know
for
some
somehow
pin
the
existence
of
this
fund
for
to
come
up
when
there
might
be
staff
capacity.
Slash
funding
capacity
in
the
future.
E
F
J
A
J
J
Equity
efforts
have
been
underway
before,
during
and
since
her
time
with
the
city.
Many
efforts
of
significance,
like
the
equity
audit,
accessible
Communications
and
the
inclusion
of
belonging
commission
were
made
possible
or
enhanced
by
her.
The
need
to
incorporate
Equity
into
all
City
departments
was
certainly
made
clear
by
her
and
staff
have
more
work
to
do
on
that,
but
many
other
efforts
were
initiated
and
are
continued
by
other
leadership
team
members
in
every
Department,
so
I'd
like
to
review
those
tonight
for
the
sake
of
transparency.
J
Certainly
some
of
these
things
I,
don't
feel
are
that
obvious
to
to
members
of
the
public
so
welcome
the
the
opportunity
to
to
share
them
the
activities
fit
into
the
categories
of
accessibility,
voice,
miscellaneous,
welcoming
and
awareness,
and
these
are
listed
in
order
of
number
of
initiatives
or
efforts
per
category.
So,
for
example,
accessibility
has
the
highest
number
of
of
efforts,
so
I'll
review
a
few
examples
of
non-existent
non-exhaustive
list.
J
Some
examples
from
each
category
that
are
recent
under
accessibility,
improving
or
adding
sidewalks
is
one
effort
that
has
an
equity
impact,
We've
coordinated
with
Winooski
School
District
on
sidewalk
plowing
prioritization
for
underserved
households.
This
was
a
direct
result
of
a
recommendation
by
the
former
Equity
director
removing
unnecessary
qualifications
from
position
descriptions.
This
is
a
common
best
practice
to
improve
access
to
to
good
work,
good,
paying
work
as
I
would
or
good
benefit
work.
J
They
had
commented
during
my
budget
presentation
regarding
the
proposed
staff
pauses
with
Equity
impacts
and
had
reached
out
to
me
to
offer
ideas
I
do
plan
to
revise
my
budget
to
incorporate
their
primary
recommendation,
which
is
to
bring
in
more
representation
from
the
community
for
City
staff
to
hear
and
learn
from
and
to
compensate
those
community
members
for
their
time.
This
is
a
model
that
has
worked
for
that
particular
individual
in
their
work
on
equity.
J
After
hearing
the
public
comments,
after
my
budget
presentation,
Angela
and
I
had
combed
through
my
recommended
budget
again
and
did
decide.
We
could
comfortably
add
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
local
option
tax
revenue
based
on
updated
projections
this
year
and
past
experience.
So
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
with
this
does
go
to
downtown
Winooski
by
contract
is
Bryn
had
just
alluded
that
would
leave
forty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
J
This
is
really
about
I'm,
putting
it
in
the
accessibility
bucket,
because,
even
though
you
know
it's
a
voice,
it
just
said
voice.
It's
really
about
increasing
access
to
city
government
by
historically
marginalized
people,
and
I'll
also
underline
that
even
the
fact
that
this
person
was
willing
to
spend
their
time
meeting
with
us
is
itself
an
outcome
of
increased
access.
J
The
second
category
is
of
equity
efforts,
I
call
voice,
so
those
included
that
we
conducted
listening
sessions
on
how
to
spend
one-time
money,
meaning
arpa
with
historically
marginalized
groups,
including
new
Americans,
which
were
interpreted
Youth
and
seniors.
That
was
a
big
effort
led
by
the
equity
director
and,
of
course,
the
communications
director
Paul
starn.
We
considered
how
to
best,
engage
people
traditionally
left
out
of
planning
processes
and
developing
City
plans,
such
as
in
the
bicycle
and
pedestrian
plan.
J
That's
upcoming,
well,
we've,
created
and
supported
include
the
inclusion
and
belonging
commission
to
create
their
own
structure
and
procedures,
and
this
body
was
an
outcome
of
the
equity
Summit
of
2019,
so
that
even
preceded
as
Jim
reminded
me.
The
equity
auditor
that
Equity
director
they
are
piloting
stipends
for
Commissioners
inclu,
specifically
with
the
inclusion
and
belonging
Commission,
to
support
more
diverse
participation
on
commissions
to
respond
to
a
question
from
Brynn.
Unfortunately,
I
had
overlooked.
The
council
had
not
approved
these
stipends
before
I
had
to
start
paying
them.
J
I
was
going
off
a
grant
agreement
of
50
per
meeting.
I've
asked
the
commission,
the
inclusion
belonging
commission
to
provide
some
input
to
council
about
what
this
means
the
per
meeting
stipend
and
if
there's
a
better
way
to
suspend
that,
and
then
we
would
be
coming
back
to
you.
Hopefully,
with
those
recommendations
to
formally
approve
a
stipend
policy
for
commissioners,
Angela
I
believe
we're
currently
paying
them
quarterly.
M
J
Thank
you
so,
and
then
so
that's
that
item
so
continuing
in
the
voice
item
or
the
voice
category,
rather
so
planning
with
the
equity
consultant
and
the
we
are
planning
with
the
winnerski
school
district's.
Next
steps
in
engaging
the
public
on
Equity
audit
findings
under
the
miscellaneous
category,
the
police
department
partners,
with
Howard
Center's
community
outreach
team
to
connect
people
to
social
supports
who
are
involved
in
an
interaction
with
the
police
department.
J
J
J
Some
of
the
other
departments
are
also
doing
this
and
then
Equity
workshops
for
leadership,
team
members
that
were
designed
and
delivered
by
the
equity
director
along
with
partners.
So
again,
just
to
close
this
diatribe,
I
guess.
The
purpose
of
this
agenda
item
was
to
communicate
to
the
public
the
types
of
equity
work
that
are
underway
and
that
will
continue
to
that
will
continue
an
illustration
of
what
will
continue.
It's
not
the
fullest.
We
do
welcome
feedback
on
these
efforts
and
on
what
else
you
think
we
should
be
doing.
D
Thank
you,
Elaine
for
putting
that
all
down
for
the
public.
I
said
it
at
past
meetings
that
you
and
staff
are
definitely
engaging
in
equity
work,
frequently
in
your
in
your
daily
work,
so
I'm
glad
that
you
highlighted
that
for
everybody
to
know
I
wonder
if
you
might
have
considered
already
out
of
that
news.
Well,
not
new
source
of
funding,
but
reallocating
about
fifty
thousand
dollars.
D
You
had
said,
if,
for
you,
and
maybe
other
members
of
City
leadership
or
to
take
like
an
official
Dei
certificate
certificate,
training
I
looked
one
up,
for
example,
at
Bentley,
it's
about
70
1700
for
the
training
which
you
know.
If
you
add
up
all
of
you
and
Leadership,
that
would
still
be
less
money
than
a
full-time
position
at
the
moment
and
would
give
you
some
more
of
that
actual
ins,
knowledge
and
train
knowledge
outside
of
just
you
know,
workshops
that
you
do
here
and
there
this
would
be
an
actual
program.
J
Oh
thanks,
Thomas
I'm,
here
I'm
thinking
about
this
for
the
first
time,
but
off
the
cuff,
I'd
say
that
I
think
what
I,
what
what
I
keep
hearing
from
experts,
because
I'm,
not
an
equity
expert.
What
I
keep
hearing
from
experts
is
that
most
of
us
spend
too
much
time
training
and
not
enough
time
doing,
and
that
said
the
ideal.
J
The
ideal
Vermont
learning
cohort
should
provide
some
of
that
opportunity
because
also
you're
right.
We
do
need
more
knowledge,
otherwise
we
risk
doing
harm
when
we're
trying
to
do
when
we're
trying
to
act
so
I'm
hoping
I
I
would
just
in
this
moment.
I
would
say
that
we
should
rely
on
those
opportunities
to
get
us.
Some
more
of
that
knowledge
do
more
of
our
own.
Pure
learning
do
all
some
more
of
our
own
learning,
but
it
to
get
to
the
Practical
pieces.
J
E
J
Paul
also
had
a
really
good
experience
with
a
previous
with
a
trainer
who
is
planning
to
provide
a
proposal
in
partnership
with
another
trainer
that
Winooski
has
experience
with.
So
it,
though,
if
you
want
names
that
can
provide
them
but
yeah,
that's
those
are
the
I'm
providing
the
reasons
why
we
we
started
with
those
two.
E
Awesome
that
that
makes
sense
to
I
think
that
was
something
I
was
curious
about
of.
If
we
are
utilizing
current,
our
relationships
that
we
already
have
instead
of
seeking
out
I
I,
think
I've
heard
some
concerns
that
that's
just
seeking
out
people
who
aren't
necessarily
in
the
community
or
don't
know
us
as
well
too,
and
the
importance
of
utilizing
people
who
have
already
are
either
living
in
a
new
ski
or
are
already
working
with
winuski
in
some
way.
So.
J
Right,
actually,
that's
a
good
point.
That's
a
they!
The
people
that
we're
considering.
Don't
don't
live
here,
so
it
might
be
worth
another
look.
It
might
delay
the
event
that
we're
thinking,
but
maybe
it's
you
know
that
seems
worthwhile.
It
would
be
ideal
to
reinvest
the
city's
money
in
in
local
folks,
yeah.
E
E
One
of
the
items
that
you
listed
is
the
improved
access
to
Recreation
program
registration
by
reserving
half
the
seats
for
paper
registrations,
I
think
it's
really
important
to
know
and
something
that
Ray
noted
in
the
safe,
healthy,
connected
people
meeting.
Is
that
a
huge
reason
that
they're
able
to
do
that
work
is
because
of
the
current
admin
and
Outreach
coordinator,
which
is
a
position
that
this
fund
was
originally
funded
by
Esser.
E
So
this
is
a
huge
book
connection
to
the
community
and
potentially
losing
that
position
then
could
put
us
in
a
lot.
You
know
reduce
a
lot
of
accessibility
in
something
that
has
greatly
improved
access
and
connection
with
the
city,
so
I
think
that's
really
important.
To
note,
too,
is
the
different
staff
members
who
are
making
this
possible,
especially
that
item
which
I
I've
heard,
is
really
important.
J
M
M
C
I
would
say
that
this
list,
it
certainly
is
not
exhaustive,
I,
really
appreciate
compiling
it
and
I
I
think
there's
there's
a
lot
of
great
opportunity
and
and
benefit
to
having
it
be
a
working
living
document
that
that
we
can
continue
to
add
items
to,
as
as
we
take
on
additional
action
items
outlined
by
the
equity
audit,
but
also
just
amplifying
the
some
of
the
work
that
otherwise
might
not
go
noticed,
but
has
significant
impact.
So
you
know
some
some
of
their
relational
work.
J
F
J
Yes,
and
in
terms
of
the
list
like
a
I,
have
the
the
what
because,
currently
the
the
full
list
on
the
on
the
shared
drive
and
it
just
in
compiling
the
route
was
reflecting.
Oh
and
the
fact
that
Jim,
you
know
to
your
point-
Jim
reminded
me
that
or
alerted
me
that
there
was
a
report
from
the
equity
Summit
and
I
had
not
been
able
to
find
it.
J
I
hadn't
looked
very
hard
so
having
when
you
don't
have
a
one
minute
when
it's
an
area
that
a
municipality
is
not
traditionally
doesn't
have
a
traditional
Department
with.
It
takes
something
like
this
to
turn
it
into
a
muscle
turn
it
into
a
habit
and
having
a
listing
having
you
know,
making
sure
that
you're
revisiting
you
know
we
have
things
like
Master
plans
to
remind
us
of
what
the
goals
of
the
community
are.
E
E
We
have
content
experts
who
are
helping
ensure
that
we
have
that
data,
and
we
are
doing
that
work
so
part
of
having
that
muscle
is
having
a
Content
expert
who's
able
to
help
the
city
ensure
that
this
work
is
being
done,
especially
on
the
city
Side,
and,
as
you
mentioned,
quite
a
number
of
these
items
are
in
part
due
to
the
fact
we
had
an
equity
director
in
the
past.
So
there
is
that
really
importance
that
Equity
is
part
of
every
single
position
and
all
the
work
that
the
city
is
doing.
E
A
A
You
know
reflecting
on
the
training
that
we
received.
It
was
the
same
one
that
staff
leadership
received
if
there's
any
like
key
learnings.
You
walked
away
with
that.
You
want
to
call
out
so
for
me
what
I
really
took
away
from
the
the
training
two
training
sessions-
and
this
also
came
out
in
the
equity
audit-
was
the
importance
of
like
outcomes
over
intent
and
it's
something
that
I
want
to
keep
remembering
during
decision
making,
because
I
I
feel
like
we
often
do
discuss
intentions
and
we
don't
always
know
what
the
outcomes
are.
E
There's
one
thing
that
I
think
kind
of
saw
a
little
bit
to
good
day
actually
with
having
folks
on
our
leadership
team
who
are
able
to
be
remote,
for
various
reasons
is
thinking
about
the
way
traditional
structures,
kind
of
support,
white
supremacy
and
limit
access,
and
not
just
white
supremacy
but
other
forms
of
Oppression.
You
know
it's
not
intentional,
so
kind
of
tying
on
to
what
you're
saying
that
outcomes
versus
intense.
So
that's
definitely
something
that
was
really
highlighted
in
these
trainings.
F
C
H
We
want
written
information,
so
those
are
good,
refreshing
Refreshers
of
those
types
of
just
some
considerations
to
happen
going
into
decision
making
like
oh
well.
What
should
we
require
any
written?
What
should
we
require
being
said,
and
how
should
we
respond
to
difficult
comments
directed
at
us
I
think
those
are
really
important
things
to
remember
it's.
It's
not
something
you
have
to
protect
yourself
from
every
time,
especially
in
public
basic
position.
So
I
think
that
was
helpful
to
have
that
reminder
and
what
I
took
away
kind
of
the
place.
H
Then
the
ways
that
I'll
speak
or
try
and
summarize
or
reflect
back
what
I'm
hearing
and
using
facts
as
opposed
to
repressions
and
listening
for
the
the
underlying
like.
Why
is
this
important
to
you?
Why
are
you
raising
this
issue
now?
Why
are
you
saying
it
this
way
and
does
that
tell
me
something
more
about
what
I
might
otherwise,
if
I
said
by
Focus
only
on
the
words
so.
F
D
D
H
F
A
Bulleted
list
of
specific
actions
that
staff
are
taking
to
incorporate
Equity
into
operations
and
I
want
us
to
think
about
how
we
incorporate
it
into
policy
and
Community
engagement,
separate
from
that
right,
so
like
what?
What
can
we
do?
That
doesn't
involve
operations
or
like
staff
and
financial
changes?
A
A
I
think
it's
a
little
loose
right
now
we
can
get
tighter
on
actually
putting
that
into
practice
and
I'm
curious.
What
other
you
know,
another
suggestion,
I
had
is
an
activity
we
did
at
my
the
organization
I
worked
for
was
adopting
shared
statements.
What
does
inclusion
mean?
What
does
equity
mean
to
try
to
kind
of
ground
us
together,
make
sure
we're
aligned
so
opening
it.
E
I,
like
the
idea
of
kind
of
developing
those
shared
definitions
and
so
put
forward,
maybe
thinking
about
even
diversity
and
belonging
I.
Think
of
belonging
in
particular,
because
that's
something
that
we're
using
a
lot
but
I
think
it's
even
valuable
to
look
at
diversity,
which
might
seem
to
have
a
very
that
definition.
But
thinking
about
it
in
the
context
of
the
particular
work
that
we
are
doing,
I
think
can
be
really
important.
E
I've
seen
some
example
in
like
thinking
like
how
higher
ed
thinks
about
diversity.
Stuff,
like
that,
so
I
I
definitely
do
see
the
value
in
that
of
having
a
grounding
document
to
come
back
to
as
well
so
I'm
thinking
that
putting
in
words
what
we're
thinking
about.
So
we
can
ground
ourselves
as
well
as
kind
of
be
transparent
to
the
community,
about
what
we're
doing.
C
E
Living
with
the
O'brien
Center
directly
behind
me,
I
definitely
see
there
seems
to
be
some
more
Community
Gatherings
there
and
I,
don't
know
if
there'd
be
a
way
to
possibly
get
in
fights.
I,
definitely
wouldn't
just
want
to
show
up
sure
yeah
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
interesting.
No,
no,
no
I,
understand
I
I
was
thinking
for
those
in
particular
I
think
that
that's
that's
a
really
great
Point,
and
some
of
that
might
be
then
making
more
connections
that
we
can
bring
back
into
the
community
engagement
too.
H
F
H
I
think
who
would
behoove
us
to
look
at
some
sort
of
auditing
tool
that
we
can
easily
quickly
apply
to
Major
policy
decisions.
For
example,
we
had
our
discussion
around
eviction,
protections
and
General
percussions,
more
broadly,
like
there
could
be
some
place
for
a
somewhat
I
want
to
say
objective,
but
a
way
for
us
to
structure
our
thinking
about
how
policies
intersect
with
Equity.
We
don't
really
have
that
right
now,
right,
we
might
have
that
conversation,
ad
hoc
and
a
given
context.
H
H
Council
and
I
think
that's
in
all
of
these
I
would
love
to
see
what
we
can
have
here
that
could
potentially
still
be
on
the
website,
if
all
of
us
were
no
longer
on
Council
as
a
thing
that
we
do
right
as
part
of
our
policies
and
procedures,
our
standard
operating
procedure
as
Council,
that
we
use
these
tools
in
certain
steps
like
in
community
engagement
plan
or
strategy
and
the
like
a
policy
audit
tool.
So
those
are
things
that
I
think
would
be
worth.
H
B
E
J
H
H
F
H
F
H
Of
community
members
of
the
city,
people
with
kids
and
people
with
kids
of
in
ages,
between
5
and
18,
or
acquire
a
different
type
of
work
and
commitment,
and
attention
and
I
think
that's
something.
We
gotta
keep
in
mind
that
the
the
ability
to
participate
outside
of
these
meetings
is
variable
for
folks
in
our
community,
as
we've
just
discussed
like
Saturday
morning
being
better
for
some
folks
and
then
for
people
who
might
consider
running
for
Council.
I.
A
I
couldn't
empathize
harder
with
that,
not
as
a
parent
but
like
the
volume
of
commitments
that
we
make
and
I
have
in
the
past.
Like
I,
don't
know
approach
it
from
a
more
selfish
lens,
more
just
like
I
am
over
committed,
but
you
make
a
very
good
point
like
as
we
as
we
set
up
new
structures,
commissions
bodies,
events
we
need
to
attend,
who
realists
is
that
shutting
people
out
of
of
doing
public
service
I
think
it's
a
good
question
to
to
keep
in
mind.
C
I
think
there's
some
clarification,
then
that
would
be
beneficial
of
like
an
expectation
versus
something
that
does
benefit
and
create
more
trust
and
correlates
to
creating
and
building
more
trust
and
familiarity
like
I,
don't
I
think
it
it
should
be
capacity.
It
should
be
part
of
that
conversation,
of
course,
and
that
attending
events
certainly
is
a
way
that
it
doesn't.
You
know.
C
A
I,
just
I
think
this
goes
into
formalizing
this
community
engagement
strategy,
further
having
more
structure
to
it
and
having
a
bigger
picture
of
what
we
are
all
doing
or
asking
ourselves
to
do,
and
certainly
some
people
have
more
time
for
certain
things
than
others,
but
yeah
having
some
visibility
into
that
Newcastle
orientation.
Like
here's
sort
of
the
you
know
we
went
through
a
list
of,
we
did
the
liaison
assignments
right
and
then
the
airport
commission
came
up
and
we
created
another
commission.
E
Yeah
one
thing
that
you
know
hates
bring
up
with
the
budget,
and
this
feels
so
far
Out
Of
Reach
is
and
is
kind
of
awkward
for
a
standing
Council
to
vote
on
is,
but
considering
the
End
Future
is
compensating
the
council
in
a
way
that
is
more
accessible
to
people
because
of
the
time
commitment
similar
to
talking
about
compensating
our
commissioners
I.
Think
that's
something
to
acknowledge
too
is
this.
Is
it's
a
lot
of
work
for
little
pay
and
that
leaves
out
a
huge
part?
H
E
E
Maybe
once
a
month
brings
in
I,
don't
know
if
this
would
be
in
a
meeting
but
somehow
brings
forth
a
reading
or
an
opportunity
to
kind
of
do
more
Equity
learning
in
some
way,
so
just
kind
of
building
that
into
an
expectation
and
also
taking
hopefully
again
putting
that
on
the
council.
Instead
of
putting
a
burden
on
City
staff.
A
H
H
D
B
H
K
E
H
But
maybe
we
added
goal
update
for
Council
have
Community
engagement
strategy.
We
did
kind
of
have
benchmarks
and
goals
listed
in
there.
That
could
be
a
monitoring,
outstanding
monitoring
item
that
we
put
ourselves
to,
and
even
if
the
answer
is
well,
we
haven't
done
anything
it
at
least
Keeps
Us
honest
to
that
strategy,
because
I
do
think
you're
right
Christine.
A
G
I
was
just
going
to
mention
that
I
think
Blaine
and
tensei
at
reib
in
Burlington,
had
made
one
of
those
policy
audit
tools
that
is
being
used
for
Burlington.
It
is
pretty
anyways,
you
can
ask
her
for
a
copy
of
it
and
if
you
need
her,
email
I'd
be
happy
to
share
that,
but
it
sounded
like
you
already
had
a
collection
of
the
mirror,
so
maybe
you
don't
need
them,
but
I'll
add
since
I'm
unmuted
that
I
appreciated
having
that
hearing
that
conversation
live
in
front
of
me.
A
Muriel
I'll
follow
up
because
I
would
love
another
example,
but
okay
all
right.
So
this
is
the
end
of
our
regular
agenda.
We've
worn
an
executive
session
I'm.
Looking
for
a
motion
to
find
that,
pursuant
to
State
Statute,
section
3131e
regarding
civil
litigation
or
prosecution,
we
should
have
this
conversation
in
an
executive
session
so
as
not
to
put
us
the
city
at
risk.
A
J
J
A
B
A
Motion
by
Jim
second,
my
brain
this
time,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
aye
motion
carries
we
have
warned
an
action
coming
out
of
this
executive
session,
so
we'll
move
into
executive
session.
We're
only
going
to
discuss
this
single
topic.
No
other
business
will
be
discussed.
When
we
come
out
of
executive
session.
We
may
take
a
vote
on
on
the
remaining
action
item
to
adopt
a
settlement
resolution.
Following
that,
the
meeting
will
adjourn.
