Announcements
 Jonathan moves and Caryn seconded spending any NPA remaining funds on FPF, TMT,
and sound system - Unanimous
 Straw Poll questions about the new merged FPF neighborhood (Old North End). Small
number of voters, but consensus was that folks preferred the old neighborhood (ONE East),
would rather be connected with Centennial and/or Downtown, and feel ONE forum is too large:
 1 person supported the current ONE configuration
 9 people preferre the old configuration
 9 people are unhappy with the current configuration


6:45 - Speakout - an opportunity to raise concerns & appreciations about Ward 1 community
 Speakout got blended into remaining discourse.


7:05 - School Commission update - Gary Golden and Matt Price
 Senate passed a version of Education bill slanted towards privatization. Weighting
changes will be detrimental to Burlington, but extra money is included for smaller districts; lunch
funding, after school activities will be affected.
 Medicaid decisions will impact schools

 Will go to Conference Committee to reconcile large differences between versions


7:20 - City Council update - Carter Neubieser
 Health Care costs, UVMMC and Pharma, are the biggest drivers of tax increases

 Very difficult times. Spending philosophy over the past several years did not consider
operational efficiencies or program effectiveness. Tax increases have been used to cover gaps
 37 of 100 new positions at City were funded with one-time moneys
 Need to inventory and evaluate what we do
 All cut are painful; Some cuts are more straightforward – high cost for small benefit
 Consolidation of departments (CEDO/BWD) and internal services (IT) are opportunities
 Tax Fairness group working on potential charter changes to create a more progressive
tax structure.
 RIFs are rare for the City;We do not have robust processes for some things. Some RIFs
were not well handled by management.
 Estimate $1M reduction ic gross receipts due to less tourism from Canada

 Carter’s update led into a discussion of the budget, Reductions in Force, city employees
and service to the community

Comments:
 With PRW/BCA cuts, how will the City serve kids this summer?
 Cuts are hard, but can’t give everyone everything
 Understand cuts, but unhappy with how the cuts were made – ill will
 Progressive taxing is OK, but what about growing the Grand List?
 RIF’d staff close to retirement?
 Little things at the neighborhood level can help
 Invest EAP?


 What can we as an NPA do to “make things right”?
 Letter of appreciation to those who lost their jobs? To all employees?

 NPA agreed that Steering Committee will broadcast a request for stories or expressions
of appreciation to collect and send to folks who lost their jobs and publicly acknowledge our
support for all employees. No employee’s name will be publicly disclosed.
