2B 16. 1991 7 Vermont Burlington mayor says schools need tax money the most By Ann E. Donlan Free Press Staff Writer Mayor Peter Clavelle said Tuesday he will campaign hard for a 6.5-cent tax increase for Burlington schools and a $1 million bond to expand two elementary schools. Clavelle held a news conference to tout the two school-related ballot questions, two waterfront questions and a bond for a police station expansion and renovation. Despite the difficulty Burling ton faces in closing a $750,000 budget shortfall for the upcoming fiscal year, Clavelle said he does not support asking voters to approve a general property tax-rate increase for the city government because the schools need the money- "They'll both go down the tubes" if voters are asked to approve a tax increase for both city services and the schools, Clavelle told the City Council.

During Monday night's meeting, Clavelle warned the council of tough choices ahead: "We have to ask the question, 'Can cuts be made without harming our most disadvantaged The city's Finance Board later this month will tisn asking voters whether they favor a tax increase to pay for city services. The School Board cut almost $700,000 of programs as well as salaries for 11 teachers. But an increase of 6.5 cents per $100 of assessed property value is still needed to balance the school budget If approved, the tax increase would mean $65 more a year in taxes for a home assessed at $100,000. The school bond, totaling no more than $1 million, would pay for improvements to the J.J. Flynn and CP.

Smith elementary schools after closing S.W. Thayer Elementary School. In the aftermath of a contentious City Council meeting Monday night, Clavelle said Tuesday that members of the Police Commission, Police Chief Kevin P. Scully and city councilors will meet to decide on a bond amount for renovations and expansion of the police station at 82 S. Winoos-kiAve.

On Monday night, Clavelle surprised some city councilors by recommending that they approve placing on the ballot a bond issue totaling $4.2 million. Councilor Maurice F. Mahoney D-Ward 1, had asked the council to vote on a $5.3 million bond the same amount that fell short of capturing the required two-thirds of vot er support in November. Clavelle said he favors the lower bond amount because it would meet the needs of the Police Department while giving voters the opportunity to support a lower bond amount By cutting the original proposal by $1.1 million, it eliminated 8,000 square feet of space, said Brendan S. Keleher, city treasurer.

But the city could expand on the site if needed, Clavelle said. (VI.) fr ft. WwlwKt State notes Cuts being planned in Montpelier budget to withdraw the Vermont charter. The national headquarters took the action after nine UVM students, who were trying to join the fraternity, were arrested in Connecticut on felony charges. They were charged with burglary, larceny, possession of burglary tools, criminal trespass and conspiracy, officials said.

The arrests were made after more than $3,000 of personal belongings were reported missing from Southern Connecticut State and Yale universities Nov. 16. The nine students are scheduled to return to a superior court in New Haven, Feb. 20 to learn whether they will be admitted into a special rehabilitation program that would allow them to avoid felony criminal records. Councilors discuss court ruling appeal Burlington city councilors will discuss Jan.

28 whether to allow City Attorney Joseph E. McNeil to file an appeal with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on a recent court ruling that has jeopardized the city's newly enacted franchise fee the city's major source of new revenue. Last Friday, the city filed a request in U.S. District Court asking Judge Fred Parker to throw out his ruling that Burlington's governing charter does not allow it to make utilities pay franchise fees.

The city claims Parker did not have jurisdiction to rule on the applicability of a local tax ordinance. "What we had requested from Judge Parker was to determine whether the company was exempt from the ordinance as a result of the 1985 agreement," McNeil said. That 1985 agreement was a settlement of a dispute over excavation fees. "That, we believed, he could do, but we do not believe the federal court has the jurisdiction to determine the validity of a local tax ordinance," McNeil said. McNeil said he expects a hearing in U.S.

Barre man cited in sexual assault A 64-year-old Barre man was cited Tuesday for allegedly sexually assaulting a pre-teen-age girl during summer 1988, according to Barre police.

Held as little as possible without significantly lowering the level of ice we're able to provide." Cotton said the plan for reducing the Street Department budget includes eliminating a winter position for a savings of $10,000. He said city officials hope the entire reduction can be accomplished by leaving a position vacant If no Street Department worker quits, however, a "creative" solution might be needed to find the additional $10,000, he said. Other cuts include $7,500 in Fire Department overtime costs; $3,660 out of a fund fon-economic initiatives; $1,300 in office supplies; and $9,200 from the general contingency fund. Cotton said the budget calls for a tax rate of about $1,045 per $1,000 of assessed value, about 5.1 cents more than the current municipal tax rate. Cotton's original budget had called for a spending increase of about 6.4 percent.

The Associated Press MONTPELIER It might take a little longer to plow out Vermont's capital city next winter. This is under a plan by the Montpelier City Council to cut the Street Department's budget by $20,000. The reduction is a part of a series of measures to save money in the 1991-92 municipal budget After four days of hearings, the council adopted a $4.06 million spending plan that calls for a 5.1 percent property tax increase. That plan is about $57,000 less than the budget suggested by City Manager Ryan Cotton. "As a whole I think it's a good budget," Mayor Ann Cummings said.
