TOWN OF SHELBURNE
SPECIAL SELECTBOARD MEETING MINUTES
JANUARY 7, 2003 MINUTES

MEMBERS PRESENT: Ken Albert, Chairman; Steve Dates, Vice Chairman; Norm Silcox; George Faris

STAFF PRESENT: Paul Bohne, Town Manager; Peter Frankenburg, Director of Finance

OTHERS PRESENT: Steve Morris The meeting was called to order at 1:00 P.M. in the Town Center Meeting Room. Mr. Morris presented results of his study involving the impact on Shelburne taxpayers if the Town purchased the land and building where the Town Offices are located from the Shelburne School District. Mr. Morris’s analysis showed that there would be an overall savings to Shelburne’s taxpayers, and it further showed how such a purchase would impact various groups of taxpayers depending on their income and the value of their property. The Board engaged in a general discussion on the advisability of a purchase at this time. No decision was reached. The Board decided to add this issue to the January 14th regular Board meeting. The Board expressed their gratitude for the excellent work done by Mr. Morris.

The meeting was adjourned at 3:00 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Paul W. Bohne III Approved,

EXECUTIVE SESSION The Selectboard met in Executive Session at 6:30 p.m. to discuss personnel matters. Executive Session was adjourned at 7:10 p.m.

1. CALL TO ORDER Mr. Albert, Chairperson, called the meeting to order at 7:11 p.m.

2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Agenda changes: • 8a - Stormwater Alignment • 8b - Chittenden County Court Budget • 8c - Appeal of the Equalized Grand list • Add to Manager\'s Report - Road Mileage authorization and signature

3. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION There were no public comments.

4. FY 2002 AUDIT REPORT Michael Segale, Fothergill, Segale, and Valley representative, summarized the FY 2002 audit report as follows: • One omission was the statement of Fixed Asset Schedule. Fifty percent of the towns are now in compliance. The omission will not have an impact on Shelburne’s ability to bond or on insurance, but could have an affect on federal grant applications. The low value cut off for fixed assets was $5,000 for a single “unit”. Block purchases, such as computer replacements, should be discrete line items batched together in lump sums and depreciated together. • The balance sheet (pages 3 and 4) shows General Fund equity, Special Revenue funds, Capital Project funds (includes the Sewer Expansion fund), and Water and Sewer funds. Long-term debt total was unrelated to water and sewer. • Exhibit E (page 8-15, 37-38) was comparison of the actual Operating and Capital budgets. • The Auditor letter includes comments and recommendations on the General Fund, general fixed assets, Sewer fund, GAAP conversion, and Water and Sewer receivables reconciliation, which should be done monthly or at least quarterly. • Special Revenue Capital funds should be consolidated unless restricted • There should be a segregation of duties between water and sewer. • Policies and procedures manual should be drafted. • A financial reporting model is recommended in the format of a statement outlining changes that ensure that Shelburne will meet the standards. • Shelburne was under the revenue threshold for infrastructure costs. Mr. Segale said the management report would be more factual than what would appear in the Town Report. Mr. Silcox asked if Town buildings (such as the Town Center, the Waste Water Treatment plants, and the library) were depreciated. Mr. Segale replied that the Waste Water Treatment plants were already depreciated. Shelburne is in compliance except for the fixed asset statement. MOTION by Mr. Silcox, seconded Mr. Gates, to accept the FY02 Auditor\'s Report as presented. VOTE: unanimous (4-0), motion carried.

5. RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING GRANT APPLICATION Mr. Bohne reported the Vermont Community Development affordable housing grant application was unsuccessful. The Town could apply again on 1/28/03 for March review by the Vermont Community Development Board. The applicant was seeking Selectboard approval of the resolution and to authorize the Selectboard Chairperson to sign the resolution. Mr. Bohne read the Resolution MOTION by Mr. Silcox, seconded by Mr. Dates, to approve the Vermont Community Development (VCDC) grant application as presented, form E-1, and authorize the Town Manager to sign the resolution. DISCUSSION: Mr. Faris asked if there are any changes to the application. Liz Curry replied there might be changes; any additional costs would be noted. The Interfaith group has offered to do local fundraising to address the “Town support” section. The VCDC has made a commitment to raise $175,000 for the Noonan House. Historic Preservation is a goal of the VCDC. Mr. Bohne observed there was a lot of value in the $19,000 support from the Town. Mr. Dates asked if there is a completion date on the new application. Ms. Curry said the VCDC has been assured that the money would be available a month or two after the grant award. Construction would be scheduled over the summer (six months needed), and three months for the Noonan House rehab which could happen anytime. December 2003 is the completion target. There were no further comments. VOTE: unanimous (4-0); motion carried.

6. DISCUSSION OF OPEN LAND WITH NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE Ms. Von Hoven, Natural Resources Committee Chairperson, reviewed the open space funding mechanism, purpose and use, and noted that there was $300,000 in the Open Space Fund. The Town voted on the fund amount, but if the funds went unspent, they are deposited in the Open Space Fund. There were three projects under review at this time, and the committee is drafting an open space plan that would define “open space”. Over the last 13 years, the Town had voted funding as a ballot item. A Selectboard suggestion of bonding versus voting on one penny on the tax rate was a concern, and there was a question if a bond would be legal. Mr. Dates pointed out that the Town approved a similar bond for the cemetery last year. Mr. Bohne said the issue of bonding was reviewed with the Town Attorney and there should not be any legal problems. Ms. Von Hoven expressed concern that bonding changed the method voters were comfortable with, a bond debt would need to be paid off through taxes, and the Open Space Fund would not grow since there was no money going into the fund. There were questions of interest that the fund can earn versus paying interest for a bond. The Town could lose opportunities to acquire land if a future Selectboard decided not to bond. This is a shift of decision making from the voters to the Selectboard, stated Ms. Von Hoven. Mr. Dates pointed out that the Selectboard votes on the use of funds and only the money approved by the voters in the current year was spent. There was continued discussion on the method to approve Open Space funds, letting the voters decide which funding method to use, if the Town voted to spend $60,000 then anything over that would require a town-wide vote, concerns that funding might not be available via bonding if there were no projects at the time of the Town Meeting, the effect of rising land values, and the impact of a rising Grand List which would increase the amount a penny on the tax rate would raise. Mr. Dudley, resident, said he understood that the amount raised would be the voter’s decision, and suggested exactly the same ballot as was used in the last thirteen years. Ms. Von Hoven reiterated that the Natural Resources Committee recommended using the same language for one cent on the tax rate. Mr. Gresham, resident, asked for clarification of the statement relating to voter approval of $60,000, but if more is required, a Town vote was necessary. Mr. Faris said that a ballot item to be added to the Town Meeting says the fund amount could be at the Selectboard’s discretion. Mr. Gresham said he would feel more comfortable voting a portion of the tax versus bonding. Mr. Lednicky suggested adding one-half cent to a sinking fund, which could also be done for other projects such as the firehouse or the recreation field. A bond issue would be unnecessary. Ms. Albert pointed out that raising the topic with the voters at the annual meeting allowed the voters to mandate issues, hold discussion, and be an opportunity for education. Ms. Haag pointed out that large landowners have approached the town with donations. Those relationships were important to establish versus taxing at a time when the Town was pressed. Mr. Dudley calculated the fund at $100,000 was generating 2% interest at the bank for a total of $102,000, but if the Town bonded and paid interest, the same amount was worth $98,000. Ms. Von Hoven said that the Committee would petition for a Town vote to raise funds via taxes versus a bond. Ms. Haag noted that the time line for filing a petition was Thursday, 01/23/03. Mr. Silcox said that the Selectboard was making an effort to have no changes in the tax rate this year. Mr. Dates said that the $60,000 amount was not in dispute, but how it was raised was open to discussion. Mr. Faris commented that since the voters supported the question for the last 13 years, then it should be up to the voters to decide. The Town has been disciplined over the last 13 years to save funds versus going to the bank. Gail Albert said that level funding the amount and keeping the tax rate down was democracy. The voters could decide to go above the proposed tax rate as well. Mr. Reid urged the Natural Resources Committee to speed up the Open Space Plan process, which was important to let the voters know what the money would be spent on. Mr. Bohne said that petitions would have to be submitted before January 27th, and suggested that the Selectboard meet with two committee members to resolve the conflict. Mr. Silcox stated that the Town should trust the Selectboard, which tried to do right by the Town. Mr. Dates says he could not come to a decision at this moment. Ms. Von Hoven said the committee could live with the amount if it was not a bond. Mr. Reid suggested continuing discussion of the budget\; the Natural Resources Committee should get the petition and meet with the Board on January 26th. If there was no compromise, then the article could be put on the ballot. Ms. Haag said that if the petition was turned into the Town Clerk by 5:00 p.m. on January 23rd, then signatures could be checked. The Selectboard and committee could meet for dialog. If an agreement was reached and the petition did not need to be submitted, the Town Clerk could pull the petition. Mr. White suggested putting a $60,000 figure in the Town budget and discussing the bond issue for future years.

7. POTENTIAL ACQUISITION OF TOWN OFFICES FROM THE SHELBURNE SCHOOL DISTRICT Mr. Albert reviewed the discussion of expending municipal funds to purchase school property to reduce the school tax impacts of Act 60. Mr. Bohne reviewed the 1998 property assessment prior to the new Town Center renovation project ($389,000 value). There was split ownership: the school owns the buildings and the land behind the buildings, but the Town owns the land underneath the buildings. The proposed $400,000 purchase price would save $216,000-$217,000, however, there was a group of 100 property owners with income levels greater than $89,000 that would see a tax increase of $15 per taxpayer average. At an income level of $47,000 to $89,000, there would be a modest savings on taxes based on year old numbers. Income levels under the $47,000 threshold would have no increases due to income sensitivity. Mr. Albert clarified that $400,000 would not come under the Act 60 sharing pool and would reduce the school budget one percent. Mr. Bohne reviewed the proposed MOU. If no agreement was reached, the Selectboard could set a price. The school has the opportunity to purchase the land under the buildings. The Tax Assessor would give an updated (value) opinion, said Mr. Bohne. Mr. Silcox commented that the school had abandoned the buildings, therefore, the Town should go with the 1998 assessment. There was further discussion of continued leasing of the building versus purchasing, potential legislative changes to Act 60, the land title which had been cleared before the renovation of the buildings, and concerns related to Act 60 and other tax concerns (CLA issues, CVU budget, the Central Office budget). Mr. Silcox said that the Town paid for the school additions over the years via school taxes. A one percent savings was still too small. In response to a question on the timeframe, Mr. Dates replied that the tax rate was set and works with the timing for the purchase. Mr. Silcox noted that a new Grand List would be in place. Ms. Haag said at this point no one knows what the tax rate will be. Mr. Faris asked if the decision should be delayed for one year. Mr. Albert noted that the buffer by the Freeman funds and fund-raising efforts has run out, and any increase would be large. Mr. Frankenburg stated fair market value (FMV) must be restated over a three-year average of property sales, so the Town reappraisal would not have a large impact. Statewide taxes were based on sales. As sales go up, the statewide education tax would go up. Mr. Albert will contact Jed Graef regarding continued discussion.

8. DISCUSSION OF PLANNING AND ZONING FEE SCHEDULE Dean Pierce handed out a summary schedule regarding planning and zoning fees, which currently covered less of the expenses compared with surrounding towns. The suggested schedule revisions were expected to increase revenues by $10,000. Mr. Pierce explained residential table changes to the current fees, which were based on square footage. There was discussion of Certificate of Occupancy and Certificate of Compliance fees at $25 each, a suggestion to change the Certificate of Occupancy fee to $50, authority to set reasonable fees (purview of the Selectboard), a $75 fee to cover the cost of public hearings, and adjustments to PRDs and PUDs. Mr. Pierce requested Selectboard comment and input. Revisions would be forwarded to the Board for further review. Mr. Silcox mentioned having the Financial Officer review the tables. Mr. Pierce said a fee for gravel pit/extraction was proposed. Currently, there were no fees. Commercial/Industrial use charges of $500 were based on $4 per square foot. Mr. Faris suggested increasing sign fees to $50.

8.a) Stormwater Alignment Mr. Pierce explained a regional effort to pool community resources to comply with the Clean Water Act related to the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System. The educational piece could be done either as a school curriculum, which was expensive, or to educate people through the media. The MOU is no longer written to identify the Lake Champlain Committee as the educational medium. The RPC would issue an RFP. Development costs would not exceed 55% of the funds as outlined in the memo, dated 1/14/03, and the maximum cost in any given year was $5,000 for a five-year commitment. In the event a contractor could not be found, the regional proposal would dissolve within 180 days. The regional proposal was more cost-effective. Mr. Bohne confirmed the Town Attorney had reviewed the proposal. Mr. Pearce said that all communities must sign the documents or there would be no agreement. MOTION by Mr. Faris, seconded by Mr. Dates, to authorize the Town Manager to sign the MOU for a Waste Water Management agreement contingent upon Town Attorney review. VOTE: unanimous (4-0); motion carried. Mr. Bohne noted that if the Town was dissatisfied with the MOU, the town could not drop out of the contract

8.b) Chittenden County budget Mr. Bohne explained that next meeting on the county budget was scheduled on 1/21/03 . A draft letter from the Town of Shelburne regarding the proposed 26% increase in taxes was read. MOTION by Mr. Silcox, seconded by Mr. Dates, to approve the draft Shelburne Town Letter as presented for Selectboard signature. VOTE: unanimous(4-0); motion carried.

8.c) Appeal of the Equalized Grand List MOTION by Mr. Silcox, seconded by Mr. Dates, to authorize the Selectboard Chair to sign a letter of appeal on the equalized Grand list. DISCUSSION: Mr. Bohne clarified that the signature only authorized keeping options open. CALL THE QUESTION by Mr. Faris. Discussion ceased. VOTE: unanimous (4-0); motion carried.

9. REQUEST FOR LIQUOR LICENSE: STAGE COACH CATERING Mr. Bohne explained the liquor license application for catering wine and beer at functions held at the Teddy Bear Company. It was noted the application was approved in September, 2002. No action from the Board was needed at this time.

10. APPROVAL OF LOAN DOCUMENTS TO INCREASE LOAN FOR SHELBURNE HEIGHTS SEWER PROJECT Mr. Albert recused himself. Mr. Bohne explained that the loan for the Shelburne Heights Sewer project, originally approved for $812,588, must be amended to increase the bond to $1.030 million. The Selectboard Vice Chair must be authorized to sign the document. MOTION by Mr. Faris, seconded by Mr. Silcox, to amend the Shelburne Heights Sewer project loan increase as presented, and to authorize the Shelburne Selectboard Vice Chair as signatory DISCUSSION: Mr. Silcox asked for clarification on the roof repair. Mr. Bohne explained that in order to complete the project negotiations with the contractor, the Town had agreed to pay for the damages to a roof and driveway. CALL THE QUESTION by Mr. Faris. Discussion ceased. VOTE: 3 ayes, 1 abstention (Mr. Albert); motion carried. Mr. Bohne said that the first assessment would be sent with the next water/sewer bill. The auditor said the assessment did not qualify as a property tax payment.

11. REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR CVU STUDENTS TO ATTEND THE HARVARD MODEL CONGRESS Mr. Bohne explained that Shelburne’s CVU students had sent letters regarding attendance at a Model Congress event and were seeking local government support to help defray costs. Mr. Silcox suggested that a student representative attend a Selectboard meeting to present the information. Mr. Dudley asked if the Selectboard normally contributed to events such as this. Mr. Albert replied that it was unusual. MOTION by Mr. Silcox, seconded by Mr. Dates, that the Shelburne Selectboard grant the expenditure of $450 for the Shelburne CVU student delegation to attend a Harvard Model Congress. VOTE: 2 ayes, 2 nays ( Mr. Silcox, Mr. Albert)\; motion did not carry.

12. REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF PENALTIES AND PROPERTY TAX Charles Kofman MOTION by Mr. Dates, seconded by Mr. Silcox, to waive the penalty for property taxes of $376.35 for Charles Kofman as presented. VOTE: 0 ayes, 4 nays (Albert, Faris, Dates, Silcox)\; motion did not carry. Elwin Isham The request to waive the penalty for property taxes by Elwin Isham was tabled.

13. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF 12/10/02 AND 01/07/03 MOTION by Mr. Silcox, seconded by Mr. Dates, to approve the minutes of 12/10/02 and 01/07 03 as written. VOTE: unanimous (4-0); motion carried.

14. TOWN MANAGER'S REPORT Mr. Bohne reported the following: • There were no changes to the Certificate of Highway Mileage during the past year. The Board signed the document. • The application for the Lake Champlain Yacht club for additional moorings went to court after discussions with the neighbors failed. A Memorandum of Understanding required review by the Selectboard. • Check warrants required approval by the Selectboard. One Board member was authorized to review and sign the warrants. Mr. Silcox signed the warrants.

15. BOARD MEMBER CONCERNS Mr. Silcox reported there was a vacancy on the VLCT Board, and suggested that the Town Manager fill the position. Mr. Bohne expressed concern about the time commitment (more than one week away from his Shelburne duties). The next meeting of the Selectboard was scheduled for 01/16/03, Thursday, with an Executive Session at 6:00 p.m. and work session at 6:30 p.m.
