Dear Neighbors,
Happy Father's Day to all; I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. My apologies for the late posting of this preview. I've had the pleasure of seeing our daughter, Caroline graduate from Edmunds Middle School this week and our son, Adam, graduate from Burlington High School on Friday. It's been a fun and busy week and I've gotten a bit behind.
Tomorrow, Monday, the City Council will convene its first of two regular meetings for the month of June.
Following a very brief Local Control Commission meeting, we will convene our Council meeting in Contois Auditorium in City Hall just after 7pm.
We will begin our meeting with a public hearing on the Common Area fees for the Church Street Marketplace.
We have several resolution of significant importance we will be debating and voting on tomorrow evening. We will be voting on a resolution regarding an MOU between the Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center and the City. Following a communication from the Mayor on his budget message, we will be voting on the FY15 budget. These resolutions are some of the most important we vote on all year. They will detail the annual appropriation, the tax rate for the Grand List, the issuance of Grant Anticipation Notes for costs of certain improvement projects and as well Tax Anticipation Notes as we await tax payments just after the start of the fiscal year. We are also voting on a resolution regarding the creation of an Information Technology Department.
Following these resolutions, we will have a presentation on the intersection scoping study for the Colchester/Pearl/South Prospect Streets project.
Annually at this meeting in June, we vote on board and commission appointments. We will be voting to appoint candidates for all seats expiring as of June 30, 2014.
We will then have council committee reports, comments from councilors and the Mayor.
Please keep in mind that you are welcome to come to a council meeting and speak to the Council on any subject you wish during our Public Forum which begins at 7:30pm.
Clickable agenda items can be found on the City's website:

As always, I welcome your questions and concerns. Please email or give me a call tonight or on Monday. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
All my best,
Karen
