Open Meeting- Chair Chittenden opened the meeting at 7:31 AM. A quorum of the Board was present. 15 Industrial Parkway, Burlington, VT 05401 | T: 802-864-2282 F: 802-864-5564 6088 VT Route 12, Berlin, VT 05602 | T: 802-223-7287 F: 802-223-6236 375 Lake Road, Suite 5, St. Albans, VT 05478 | T: 802-527-2181 F: 802-527-5302 4 2. Adjustment to the Agenda- There were no adjustments to the agenda 3. Public Comment - There were no public comments 4. Consent Agenda – Past Chair Kaynor requested that the ridership reports be excluded from the consent agenda for discussion. Secretary Barton made a motion to approve the consent agenda excluding ridership reports. Treasure Bohne seconded the motion. Vice Chair Waninger requested that the October Board meeting minutes be excluded from the consent agenda. Secretary Barton made an amendment to approve the consent agenda excluding the ridership reports and the October 2018 Minutes. Treasure Bohne seconded the amendment. All were in favor and the consent agenda was approved excluding the ridership reports and the October 2018 Minutes. Ridership reports – Past Chair Kaynor commented that ridership is up in the urban area but appears to be down 38% in the rural area. He also noted that there were no ridership reports for urban or rural for the month of October. Mr. Moore clarified that the number Past Chair Kaynor was reading was for paratransit ridership for the rural area. The next line on the table is the fixed route ridership which is up 6.2%. Mr. Moore stated that planning would work on the formatting of this report to make it clearer. In the urban area ridership is tracked by electronic fareboxes so the information is more readily available. However, in the rural area ridership is tracked by hand with pen and paper, causing rural ridership reporting to always be two months behind when reporting to the Board Starting next month urban will be ahead of the rural area when reporting ridership. Commissioner Currier asked about ridership on the capital shuttle having a 0% change from FY18 to FY19. Vice Chair Waninger asked if we have exceeded last year’s ridership of nine months on the capital shuttle in three months so far this year? Mr. Moore responded that he will look into the capital shuttle ridership numbers for FY19 and report back to the Board next month with the correct number. 15 Industrial Parkway, Burlington, VT 05401 | T: 802-864-2282 F: 802-864-5564 6088 VT Route 12, Berlin, VT 05602 | T: 802-223-7287 F: 802-223-6236 375 Lake Road, Suite 5, St. Albans, VT 05478 | T: 802-527-2181 F: 802-527-5302 5 October 2018 Board meeting minutes- Vice Chair Waninger asked about item #4 we were going to revisit the September retreat minutes for a question she had asked be included in the minutes. The minutes were not included in this month’s packet. Mr. Sousa informed the Board that Mr. Young has done a verbatim transcript from the recording from the September retreat. Chair Chittenden commented that today’s meeting has a very packed agenda and suggested moving both ridership reports and the September Retreat minutes to December 2018 Board meeting. Past Chair Kaynor suggested having these two items as a separate agenda item in December not as part of the consent agenda. A motion was made to approve the October minutes with grammatical changes by Commissioner Buermann, seconded by Commissioner Sharrow. All were in favor and the minutes were approved with grammatical changes. 5. FY18/FY19 Financial Discussion- Ms. Daley presented the FY18 and FY19 memos, that were included in this month’s Board packet, that addressed budget deficits. Ms. Daley explained that when doing financials, she is working with estimates due to the way billing of some of GMTs grants work. Some grants are 60 days behind on billing. Past Chair Kaynor commented that he was not aware that estimates were used on the financials. Ms. Daley explained that GMT is an accrual-based accounting system and this is common practice. Treasurer Bohne asked why net assets FUND balance from FY17 of 3.5 Million drops to 200 thousand currently.

    Part Two Biophysical Regions of Vermont Biophysical Regions of Vermont ne of the most rewarding parts of studying a landscape and its natural communities is appreciating all the factors that work together to cause Ovariation within that landscape. When we study the landscape of the world, we look to climate to explain most of the broad patterns of geographic variation. As we look more closely, say at the North American continent, climate is still the overrid- ing feature that causes variation, but we begin to see influences from other factors such as geological history. As we look even more closely, for example at the state of Vermont, we begin to see that landforms and soils, along with human history, influence variations as well. The biophysical regions of Vermont presented in Figure 2 help organize the landscape into smaller units that share features of climate, geology, topography, soils, natural communities, and human history. Although each region has variation within it, all are widely recognized as units that are more similar than they are different. Figure 2 was developed by analyzing existing land classification maps and by assessing biological and physical data with new analytical techniques (Girton 1997). The map was created so that land managers from all state and federal land managing agencies, as well as private land managers, could have a single map of biophysical regions to work with as a way of organizing their planning and thinking about natural communities in Vermont. Although our map shows Vermont only, the regions have no political boundaries, and they do not end at Vermont’s border.

  • YOU Make Sports Possible for EVERY Body
    YOU Make Sports Possible for EVERY Body BUILDING FACILITIES ON THE BURLINGTON WATERFRONT AND AT SUGARBUSH RESORT Spring 2017 Dear Friends of Vermont Adaptive, Our programs began in 1987 on a small ski hill at Ascutney Mountain. By 2017, thanks to donors like you, Vermont Adaptive is now a national leader in year-round adaptive sports and recreation. Your support over the past 30 years allowed us to provide thousands of sports outings and lessons to people of all abilities and integrates environmental learning, holistic wellness, competitive training philosophies, veterans initiatives, and much more. All of these opportunities are possible with your help. Vermont Adaptive is a diverse organization that found great success by sticking to core values and by growing our base of volunteers and support — volunteer instructors and guides donate more than 24,000 hours of time and talent each year to fulfill programming needs. More than 3,000 outings are provided on a year-round basis annually. Because of your support, we have provided approximately 60,000 adventures. That is simply incredible. Two of our greatest limitations to providing adaptive sports and recreation to EVERY body are our lack of physical spaces and having a healthy endowment to sustain us in the future. Please give today. Without you, we can’t share the passion of sports and recreation with others. Sincerely, Erin Fernandez, Executive Director VERMONT ADAPTIVE’S THREE-PHASE PERMANENT HOMES Disabilities: Our Participants Hail From: CAMPAIGN & AN ENDOWMENT FOR THE FUTURE 41% Physical: As we celebrate our 30th anniversary year, the leadership at Vermont Adaptive is set to embark on building Developmental/Cognitive: 36% VT Emotional Behavioral: 13% and completing our second and third permanent homes in Vermont as well as to establish a healthy endowment NH DD/Cog & Physical: 10% to sustain our future.

Covarrubias, Mr. Schmidt Front: Eddie Hodde, Jack Sears, Mr. Rogers, Zach Paige, Ricky Dopp Pack History 2017 The 2017 season welcomed 93 boys to Mowglis on Opening Day. Ushered in by 53 Staff, Mowglis’ 114th summer was underway. Boys settled into their dorms, selected Industries, and began setting their sights on Ribbons, Inner Circle, and Graduation Requirements. Trips were out before week’s end. The Den ventured out on a four- day pack trip to the ridges of Mount Garfield and Mount Bond, which afforded them the chance to experience the Bondcliffs. Akela headed to Waterville Valley to conquer Jennings Peak and Sandwich Dome. Toomai paddled the War Canoes to Belle Island for their first overnight trip as members of the Pack. The Yearlings, led by Mr. Rafferty and Mr. Rogers, barely had time to put their bags down before they were off on their first adventure: whitewater kayaking! Our first week flew by, and the boys and Staff had just settled into the Mowglis routine, only to be divided into athletic teams to take part in the first sports day of the summer: Land Sports Day.
