Fossil Fuels
How to stop burning them
 in your home




 Page 4 of 30
 Why it is Important

Fossil Fuel appliances are:
 Big ticket items
  ○ They last a long time (hopefully)
  ○ Locks us in to that fuel for a long time



 Stuck With It
 Just need 1 appliance that uses fossil
 fuels and we are stuck maintaining the
 infrastructure for that fuel.
 ○ There is a cost just maintaining access
 to a fuel
 ○ Incentivises using that fuel for more
 than one appliance
 Page 5 of 30
Why make a plan to replace them Now?

Great Options
 Lots of great options and Incentives
 that weren’t available before


Otherwise, Emergency!
 Most people replace these
 appliances when they break
 ○ When it is an emergency it is
 hard to change to something else

 ests!

 it is usually faster for them to come out to your house
 than a plumber)

 heatpumps
 ○ But only the ones that still have backup gas and
 aren’t cold climate rated, aka don’t do much :(
● BED on-bill financing for commercial customers
 ○ For ventilation, emergency swap outs, facada
 alterations. (limited fed covid money)

wonderful things for our community. And announcement from planning meeting Plan BTV 2050, planning
commission is going to finally deal with housing through zoning.​


6:40 - Speakout - an opportunity to raise concerns & appreciations about Ward 1 community

Katherine Vermann- FPF speaking about the trash around now that snow has melted. Greenup Day not
until May so long time to wait. NPA trash pickup time? How about Saturday in the morning. Or on FPF
we could put a request that neighbors try to go out 8-10 next few Saturdays. Carter will be talking more
about this, and has some already, with Gene Bergman. Julie will put on FPF. Gretchen announced
Edmunds Elementary School musical, Peter Pan, Friday at 6:30 and Saturday at 2:00.
6:55 - NPA business

Introduce slate of Steering Committee members to be voted on at April’s meeting and solicit interest in
new SC members - Gary Golden introduced who our current Steering Committee members are. They
have all agreed to come back. Anyone else interested? Sharon highly recommends being on SC as a way
into learning more about the city and issues.

Annual priorities for City Council consulting with NPA –

Jonathan introduced the issues that ward neighbors brought including:

 1.​ Development agreements and MOU’s with UVM and UVMMC - 16 votes
 2.​ Traffic management that affects pedestrians and cyclists - 12
 3.​ Tax burden redistribution - 6
 4.​ Advisory Group/Ad Hoc Committee Recommendations -1
 5.​ Use of parks and development of open spaces - 7
 6.​ Municipal development plan - 0
 7.​ Activity impacting Ward 1 infrastructure - 10
 8.​ Waste/recycling - 0
 9.​ City Budget - 2
 10.​Others: engagement on significant development in our ward, public transportation – 3

Sharon: there should be a lot of engagement with neighbors, especially #1 and #8 we should not be left
out of the loop on.

Richard: item #1 are we still using the idea that all new development is brought before the NPA before
city? Jonathan: Preferred that developers bring plans to NPA’s, now it is required to have a public
meeting but not enforced to be brought to NPA specifically. What about commercial development, non
public development, significant development be brought to NPA? Julie: can #7 be clarified? Jonathan: yes,
examples would be traffic roundabouts added to streets, plumbing changes, etc. Serrill: #2 feels very
critical as to what we have discussed many times in our NPA meetings. Jean: improving bus lines to
reduce traffic, upset about cancellation of the free shuttle on College Street, coordinate with UVM buses
going around too. Evan: add cyclists to #2. Angie: housing crisis and many students want to live off
campus because cheaper and more fun, UVM should be made to step up and provide their students with
more housing. Nudge them in a very big way and how it affects residents.

SO winners are: 1, 2, 7, 5 and 3

NPA budget - ideas for spending the remaining balance ($1000) by May 31, 2026– Carol: money is used
for rental of space, food, signage. Have a bit more left over from this year that could be used.

City says money must be used for:

 1)​ Promoting the NPA
 2)​ Providing residents with information about City programs/activities
 3)​ Gaining input from residents about City needs



1.Outreach – distribute flyers, tabling at events
2. Welcome sign to neighborhood
3. Beautification project
4. Community garden
5. Schmanska Park amenity
6. Community event
7. Little Free Libraires
8. Bus stops – benches
9. Workshops teaching a skill: gardening, pickleball, nature walk, Centennial Woods
10. Update of Zine publication (less than $100)

Sophie: Also the barn at Schmanska park is empty a lot of the time and can be used for many of these.
Sarah M: UVM botany department often has extra free plants mid-May that could be used for
community gardens, Laura Hill heads the department
Jonathan: we should be thoughtful about this because can go back to the city which needs money



7:35 - City Council update - Carter Neubieser

Most recent vote on recycling: Casella will do the next 7 years. Carter didn’t vote for this because
skeptical and nervous about realistically are we going to have the city run it again? This is a vital utility
that should be run by city. A committee was put together to study 3 models: 1) subscription model with
paying privately for trash and compost currently, 2) consolidated private company to do it all, this greatly
reduced emission because on one truck, less on our infrastructure as far as streets, noise, etc., 3)
consolidated model but owned publicly. But would be more like Burlington Electric or water, which have
a separate budget from city budget but still kept public.

Tax fairness not on ballot, will be a committee to find something that can be agreed on.

Another committee with councilors, and city staff and “plan 2050,” having public input coming up with
gathering and mailing. “Pop up” engagement ideas.

City budget: informational session this Friday and for councilors to get an update and see scenarios for
cutting in each department where they can.



7:55 - Burlington School Commission update - Matt Price & Gary Golden

Gary: Thank you for participating in the election and voting for Carter and myself. Congrats Carter for
your reelection and thank you for approving the school budget and reimbursement for school board
members. Annual audit received high marks by auditors, so no questions on how the money is being
spent. VT test scores and BSD is no exception in lower marks, 3rd grade scores down. So new committee
including Gary and Matt to look at curriculum to get at this. We have about 2 million $ needed for capital
improvements within district and prioritizing. State Senator Martine Gulick: no urgency currently for bills
out there which is concerning, will know more in a month or so.

Richard: what about declining enrollment? Sooner or later a school will need to be closed.
Matt: a couple of weeks ago our superintendent did mention the possibility of closing a school because of
our enrollment numbers and we could serve the children in the district with one fewer school and keep
the teachers. Seven Days article, yes we need to build more housing. Many families are leaving because
they can’t afford to live here.

Gary: we have been highly reliant on refugees and we leveled out compared to other districts in state
while rest of state declined.

Katherine V: long time educator, humanism, and has noticed that VT has shifted to a quantitative vs.
qualitative system.

Matt: the numbers say nothing about the child as a human being but if they can’t read or do math then
we aren’t helping them. They aren’t getting the fundamentals but are getting good social emotional
support.
