Fiscal Impacts
The process does not require new funds. The priorities may require
new funds.
Background
Information
In a council-manager form of government, staff must implement the
City Council’s policies and priorities. Since the initiation of this
effort in the fall of 2021, annually the Council has adopted a set of
Policy Priorities and Strategies, and the Leadership Team have
regularly reported on progress. Through this process and in
working together, we ensure that all are making clear and intentional
decisions about the policy priorities of the City and the
implementation strategies we will use to achieve this vision with the
goal of producing a fiscal year city-wide workplan for the Council,
staff, and Committees.
This year the Committees and Council submit ideas in advance. All
have been incorporated into the database, and the Leadership Team
recommends a set of Priorities for FY27.

Final Thoughts, Last Questions, and Gratitude
Policy Priorities & Strategies:
What is it?
Our annual process of developing a shared policy workplan between the
Leadership Team (LT), the Council, and the City policy committees.
LT’s obligation is to bring our professional expertise to the table and inform
policy making.
LT’s obligation is also to implement the policy of the Council.
This process focuses on the change we are trying to make in the
community and our organization.
NOT an inventory of the great services (core government) the Team
provides to the residents everyday.
Policy Priorities & Strategies:
What are they?
Criteria for an item being included in the Policy Priorities & Strategies
Workplan:
• Is a new policy discussion and/or decision
• Is a policy discussion or program outside of typical "core government"
• Strategic efforts and capital projects that will require significant
Council action (go/no go decisions, ROW, design, etc.)
• Operational improvements that have significant resource (staffing
time/allocation) impacts
• Programs or policies that significantly involve outside partners
Materials Provided
FY27 PP&S “Proposed” The Leadership Team’s (LT) recommendation for what work we do together
in FY27.
•
•
•
We believe we have staff capacity to move these priorities forward.
Several of these concepts appeared in both Leadership Team recommendations, Committee draft plans, and Council requests.
We have done our best to integrate these ideas into clear descriptions and FY27 actions that are aligned.
Efforts that require new funds are indicated with a “$.”
•
This is under review by staff and there are items for which there is other work being done.
FY27 PP&S “Bike Rack” Items we recommend are on hold for future capacity, authority, or
resources.
FY27 PP&S “Moved to Core Government” As we fine-tune this process, we find there is more
alignment between what the Council, Committees, and staff are working on. Many of the ideas
proposed fall into the “core government” bucket – work the LT sees as central to our charge as
municipal employees.
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Summary What is already on the FY27 approved CIP.
City Plan Goal and Action Summary An overview of the City Plan’s goals and actions that are not
mentioned in the PP&S documents.
Council Feedback The ideas submitted by City Councilors.
Committee Draft Workplans The ideas submitted by City’s policy committees.
Key Questions for the Day
1. Clarifying Questions on the Process: PP&S, CIP, Master Planning
2. Review items where we've integrated multiple mentions of priorities into
one. Did we get it right?
3. Funding Capacity. Do we want to move each forward?
4. Review of the Bike Rack. Are there items that the Council would like to
move off the Bike Rack and, if so, what do we deprioritize?
5. Additional information: We’ve heard that the Council would like more
information on efforts underway.

• Complete plan.
• Ordinance to require net zero for all new construction for heat and hot water.
• Mandate that inspections of new construction include compliance with existing climate regs re: heat/hot
water. Timelines for compliance, with fees for extended non-compliance.
• Weatherization: increased emphasis on weatherizing existing homes in alignment with stated goals,
starting w multi-unit rentals, as 1st step in preparing for renewable heat upgrades. Use existing incentives
to offset cost.
• Research: efficacy of existing ordinance in reducing gas usage and impacts on heating costs.
• Work w HVAC contractors - educate new customers on heat pump options as alt to fossil fuel options.

• Establish inventory of existing street trees.
• Ordinance regarding publicly owned trees: 1) Improper/unauthorized mulching, pruning, mowing around,
weed whacking by adjacent homewners/renters, including hired landscapers. Fines for violation/damage
of public assets. 2) Re-planting requirements – increase required diameter of re-planted trees with
respect to damaged tree. 3) Require protective fencing around drip lines of public trees when
development of adjacent private property is underway.

Natural Resources
Protection/
Environment
• Hubbard Park conservation easement – move off bike rack and make high policy priority.
• Conserve Long Property
• Initiative to experiment with “lawns to meadows” on publicly owned park strips and other green areas,
where appropriate (e.g., no safety concerns related to visibility).
• Adjust use of pesticides and herbicides on public property in accordance with known health hazards and
hazards to critically important wildlife (e.g., pollinators).
X
Maintenance of
Private Property/
Housing?
• Require property owners to comply with basic standards of maintenance, noting the example of lewd
graffiti on old Pizza Hut for several years. Require trash removal, graffiti removal.
X
New ordinance (?) not sure if there’s an
existing one.
Noise Management/
Environment, other?
• Reject changes recommended by planning commission regarding bedrock removal and repeal existing
bedrock removal language. According to city attorney, current regs would effectively prevent city from
using a nuisance to ensure appropriate levels and length of dangerous noise pollution. Additionally, DRB
has been given no guidance on criteria for when to extend time allowance for bedrock removal. Paul
Connor indicated it would be too difficult to reg noise using LDR’s.
• Pass more robust nuisance ordinance that includes decibel limits on noise, including excessive
construction noise. Require mitigation measures where necessary to allow construction to proceed.
Carve-outs for necessary public (not private) infrastructure.
X
New/revised
ordinance.
Protection of public
property during
development/
Housing, Community
Serv. And Facil.
• To prevent damage to publicly owned assets (e.g., sidewalks, rec paths, trees, roads), require developers
to videotape public property adjacent to development sites and submit to zoning office. Zoning will view
video to make sure accurate/complete.
• Final walk through of project to document damage/no damage.
• Public infrastructure must be in same or better condition than when developer started.

Strategic Plan/
Comm. History and
Culture
Broaden/strengthen Cultural Strategic Plan to include community resilience, modeled after post-flooding
efforts in Northeast Kingdom. As part of committee re-org, facilitate broad, less structured volunteer
structure (not to be managed by city, but facilitated). Objectives:
• Help establish network of neighborhood hubs, enhanced by cultural strategic plan to create
engagement, identity, connection to future vision for city.
• Incorporate heat resilience strategy under climate action plan. Neighbors helping neighbors.
• Build more trust in local gov by facilitating further democratizing decision making about city’s future.
• Hubs ideally involved in community resilience efforts including climate event/disaster impact planning,
as well as support during “every-day disasters”
• City could facilitate by helping publicize, for example during planned parks and rec neighborhood events.
• Facilitate community art projects in neighborhoods in collaboration with Public Art Committee.
State Level
Advocacy by
Council/none
specific
• Identify high-priority state level legislation/initiatives warranting advocacy efforts by individual councilors
or whole council (e.g., local options tax, climate legislation, housing legislation).
• Advocacy to state energy regulators regarding restrictive/detrimental policies regarding renewables in VT
• Research and publicize information about use of our local options tax throughout state to make our
residents more informed of impacts to SB.

Public Art/
Economy, Comm.
History and Culture
• See last bullet under “Community Resilience Planning”.
• Research/information gather regarding impacts of public art, artist residences/communities on economic
growth of downtowns. Known boon to economic development, would be beneficial to estimate potential
positive impacts and publicize through committee.
X
Housing Data/
Housing
• More frequent updates of available housing, rental vacancy rates
• Updates on new sales (numbers and prices of new homes/units)
• Establish clear definitions for SB on types of housing (e.g., missing middle should refer only to
affordability metric rather than type of housing, since type of housing does not correlate well with
affordability)
• Updates on population growth in SB

FY27 PP&S Committee Workplan Proposals
04/28/2026
In a council-manager form of government, staff must implement the City Council’s policies and priorities. Since
the initiation of this effort in the fall of 2021, annually the Council has adopted a set of Policy Priorities and
Strategies (PP&S), and the Leadership Team has regularly reported on progress. Through this process and in
working together, we ensure that all are making clear and intentional decisions about the policy priorities of the
City and the implementation strategies we will use to achieve this vision with the goal of producing a fiscal year
city-wide workplan for the Council, staff, and Committees.
