This Monday night (4/16) at 8:40 PM, the South Burlington City Council will be considering for action a resolution to "join Winooski and Burlington to formally request that the US Air Force replace the F35A with a safe and quiet aircraft."
The resolution resolves "that the City of South Burlington stands in solidarity with the City of Burlington and the City of Winooski in their request to the United States Air Force to

1. Cancel the basing of the F-35A at the Vermont Air National Guard Station in Burlington, Vermont, and
2. Instead provide an aircraft that is compatible with a densely populated residential area—an aircraft that has a proven high safety record, and an aircraft whose noise will not result in any homes being in the noise zone categorized as unsuitable for residential use" and "that the City of South Burlington respectfully requests a written response from the Honorable Secretary of the United States Air Force, Heather Wilson, by May 1, 2018."

As of now, the Council is not scheduling time to hear public comment on this matter. If you would like to be heard, I encourage you to contact the members of the council asking that more time be allocated for a public hearing before action be taken.
