Ward 2 & 3 Joint Neighborhood Planning Assembly Meeting Minutes

April 10, 2008
McClure Multigenerational Center
 

Charlie Giannoni called the meeting to order at 7:01pm. The agenda and ground rules for the meeting were established.

Introductions & Announcements

A citizen was concerned about the sidewalk on Battery Street and Park Street.

School Board and Legislative Updates

Vince gave us an update on the School Board, as new members were elected. Two schools in the Old North End may become magnet schools. On May 7th the community will be able to give input on the process as we want to make our neighborhood schools more attractive to others across the City.

Jane spoke about the zoning, and on April 15th they will look at sites for commercial development. She also spoke to the need for open government to put agendas on web as well as the answers to how people voted the way they did. There was a resolution that passed unanimously to ask for representatives of Wards 2 and 3 to have an individual role in city government.

Green Up Day

Green Up Day is Saturday, May 3rd. One can meet at Barnes School or Battery Park to help out.

Vermont Immigration Voting Alliance

Representatives wanted a resolution made to restore voting rights in local elections. Members of the City Council were unsure whether this would require a Charter Change. Currently, it takes a long time for the process to evolve. There was discussion about engaging the immigrant community in future NPAs.

Burlington Electric

A Powerpoint presentation by a member of Burlington Electric discussed where Burlington currently gets its electricity and where it plans to go in the future. Many asked about the best ways to save money as well as the impact on the environment.

Sidewalk Strategic Plan

The Department of Public Works talked about the current condition on sidewalks in Burlington, and whom to contact shall their be concern one has about their neighborhood. They discussed how Burlington prioritizes its maintenance program for sidewalks repairs. Currently, a focus group is being put together to analyze potential problem areas.
