Can someone please send me individually the Topics that I have to take just take a picture of your book and send it to me Only four people have joined I'm waiting for others to join Okay, so If people are not joining till 110 then I'm going to start so Let me start let people join when they wish to I've already waited for 10 minutes for them. I can't wait more heating effect of If you remember I have given a Question also on heating effect of current in the last test So heating effect of current So let me check what today's class. I'm telling in the beginning of itself. I'm only focusing on UT So I'm not going to go beyond your book Nothing beyond your book. So I will only teach what has been there in your book So what happens? If you look at any electrical device, so when I was teaching this in class I was telling that if you look at a bulb or a tube light and if it is on for some time if you touch it It will it will feel heated because Electric energy is converted into And the same example as I see as I can see in your book It has been given in your role this thing also region for the same I have explained in the class that Because of the movement of electron what happens these electron collides with other electrons and positive ions and Which which which is as like resistance that is why resistance is there and in these collisions of electrons lose their energy and The energy is lost because collision happens and they pass on energy to positive ions and and and Other particles and as energy is transferred The positive ions will start vibrating more and and and and due to that the heat would be produced So this is the reason what happens electron is drifting if if when current would be suppose This is a current carrying conductor. So it means that electrons are Flowing from current flows from high potential to low potential. So electron will flow from suppose This is current carrying conductor electron will this is high potential. This is low potential Electron will flow from low potential to high potential in between its way It will collide with other positive ions and electrons in which it will transfer its energy to them due to that they'll start vibrating with more vigor and Due to that heat would be produced. So What happens more current means more number of electrons? Passing through what is I I is equal to Q by T and Q is equal to N E So T is per second. So one second if I take here E is fixed 1.6 into 10 to the power minus 19 So if I is increasing it means that N, which is the number of electrons drifting from drifting from low Potential to high potential is increasing. So it means that If more electrons start Going from low potential to high potential more collision will happen more transfer of energy will happen Hence more heat would be produced So if you look at your book it has been written three reasons reasons have been written that Heat produced depends on Strength of current it is proportional to I in fact I square Time for which it flows. So if It flows for more time more heat would be produced because more collisions will happen as simple as that and then resistance of wire If if more resistance is there, it means that more free particles apart from electrons are there or It is a More electrically dense. So hence more collisions and more heat produced. So H is proportional So let me go here. So This is the Thing which has been written in your book. Now how formula for heat produced is is is found out. So try to understand We know that Q is equal to IET so Work done is equal to to take any charge from High potential to low potential or whichever way you want to do work done is equal to Q into potential difference So work done. I can write is equal to IT into V now I Know that V is equal to IR. So W is equal to IT into IR So which gives me I square RT and that is why I wrote that It is H is proportional to I square H is proportional to T and H is proportional to R So this heat produced would be equal to work done From taking one charge from one place to another. So I square RT So H is proportional to I square R and T and this is only called Joule's law of heating So if you have any doubt till here, just ask me Okay, now, let me go to the other topic, which is power so What is power? So power is nothing but The definition of power is work done per unit time per unit time so It can be written as power is equal to W divided by t now I know what W is so power is equal to W is equal to I square RT Divided by T. So this comes out to be I square R Now P is equal to I square R But suppose if I don't give you current I give you only voltage. So I know that V is equal to IR So I is equal to V by R So I can write here it is V square by R in V square by R square into R So this will come out to be V square divided by R So you can use this formula for power this formula for power even if for heat generated I square RT You can write I is equal to E by R. So this will be V square by R square into R into T So it would be H is equal to V square T divided by R. So you can use this formula or this formula Okay, so I hope this is clear for you Unit units for R is so power. What is power power is unit for power is written as What so this is nothing but? what unit and Both of them would be I mean can be transformed the unit remains same for power as you know Unit of work done is Joule. So heat produced with also be Joule So any energy whether work done because energy is related to heat work done The unit would be Joule. Now. Let me go to Some bigger unit so Because what is a very very small unit? So generally you see that and why it has been written in your book that Why bigger unit is needed because? At our home try to understand Every particular electrical Machine that we are using It has specified power To it you go and check your TV some power reading reading would be written on it if you go and check your fridge some power reading would be there you go and check your check your Washing machine power reading similarly oven some power reading would be there. So how will That is why power what is not a good method to To send you your power bill because even if my fridge is suppose or or my TV is 100 watt If my TV is 100 watt How if I am not using it then that 100 watt transform into zero because zero power is used in TV Similarly, if I am using it for 30 minutes and if I am using it for two hours Different amount of power is getting wasted in using my TV. So that is why What has to be linked with some time and what is that time time of usage? So that is why electricity bill is generated and and the unit of electricity bill is kilowatt hour So one unit is known as one kilowatt hour So you we say now that this month we have used 200 units of electricity So if we have used 200 units of electricity This unit is nothing but one unit of electricity is equal to one kilowatt multiplied by one hour So one unit of electricity is one kilowatt hour and what is kilowatt hour kilowatt hour is nothing but Try to understand. So this is power and this is what this is time So kilowatt is unit of power are is unit of time So power into time both is used so that we can find out how much energy is lost so One kilowatt hour means thousand watt into our means 3600 seconds. So this comes out to be three point six into ten to the power six joules if you Produced or your electric equipments produce this much of heat Then it is said that we have used one unit of power attack at our home and this is the standardized unit to Measure the power of power uses in any home so Try to understand but power station This I was talking about power consumption how we consume power Power station where power is generated if I talk from generation side. I don't Bother whether my power is Utilized or not because it cannot be stored so hence power Generation is measured is measured in megawatts Generally, so or at home the portable generators that we have That would be in kilowatts. It can be in kilowatts also. Why because They are they require more power to supply. So that's why because here timing is not important Here the maximum capability is important because if it is running at its peak position How much power it can maximum supply that is why it it is measured in Megawatt or kilowatt here the megawatt and kilowatt does not matter because even if I am getting five megawatt from outside or something like that or Total like total Electric equipments the capacity of total electric equipments at my home is five kilowatt and I'm not using any one of them I'm actually using zero watt at my home so that is why consumption is Measured in kilowatt are and generation is measured in megawatt and kilowatt now if you have any particular doubt with you just Let me know. I'm checking the chat box now. Let me know if you have doubt Okay, the power station part what I said is Power station doesn't know that where my electricity is getting consumed So that is why or for how many as my electricity is getting consumed power is station is continuously producing the power hence the maximum capacity of power station needs to be Needs to be considered and that is why it is measured either in kilowatt or megawatt like I was working for two years in a power plant where power used to get generated so The maximum capacity of the power plant was 165 megawatt now as a power producer We didn't know that where my power is going and getting consumed So if somebody asked that how much power you can provide me we will say that at any moment We will provide you 165 megawatt So that is what I was willing to Say next topic is I was doing So electric power, you know some bigger units I have done now Ratings of electrical appliances. So you that's that's what I was discussing with you that if you go and check your Any electrical equipment at home? It will be given as like bulb would be written as hundred 220 volt and 25 watt or 20 watt or 50 watt or 100 watt Where 220 volt is saying that If you apply it means that that 220 volt and 100 watt so suppose I have an electric bulb and power rating is 220 volt and 100 watt So it means that any electric bulb if the potential difference across it or voltage across it is 220 volt the power consumed by it would be 100 watt if it is used for 100 watt, what do you mean by 100 watt? So it move it it is 100 joule per second So it is saying that if you apply 220 volt of potential difference across it in one second It will lose 100 joule of energy or to use it for one second 100 joule is required per second So if you look at so what has been given power is equal to because voltage rating has been given I have to apply this formula V square by R So power has been given as 100 watt V has been given as 220 volts or 220 square Then what is the unknown here R is the unknown here So I can find out R from here and as soon as I find out R V is equal to I R I know V R can be calculated from here. So I can also be calculated. That is what the question means Now let me go to applications of heating effect Electrical electric heating is is also produced to use light in an electric bus. So what happens is See whatever I have taught what I recommend you to read through The application of heating of light on page number 14 of your book There is nothing to be explained there just It has been told that how filament has to be made. So the materials for the materials for that as well as the fuse is given so Fuse is generally made of copper aluminium whatever copper aluminium generally we don't use iron over there We use mainly copper and aluminium for fuse So that's what it has been explained over there. So What I would you you read through it what I would like to discuss over here is Why fuse is used? Because that has not been explained in your book. So I would like to use Why fuse is used and then I'll move ahead with questions. Have you read it? Okay, Ruchita is asking that what does thermally isolated means Where it has been written Electric heating is also used to produce Thermally isolated means how it has to be Away from normal Atmospheric condition that is why they are neon gas or something else is filled over there because Only effect of electricity should come So that is what it means Okay, see whether you have read it or not. Just try to understand what happens So suppose I have a bulb in bulb. You could have seen this kind of filament now what happens if I switch on the bulb for suppose 24 hours or 48 hours or 72 hours, whatever time I'm free to do it as per my Utilization needs So what happens over here is if I The current would be supplied and as the current is supplied because H is Proportional to T as more time will pass more heat would be generated in these filaments Now it should be that strong that even in case of maximum heat produced over here and and and getting Rested over here. It should not melt. So that is why filaments are made of very strong material so What is that filament is generally made of tungsten's and Tungsten has a melting point of 3380 degrees Celsius Similarly, we have fuse at home Why fuse is used? So suppose this is the incoming to the home What do you mean by incoming? I get electricity supply from like in Bangalore. We get it from Bescom so Suppose this These lines which are these wires are coming from Bescom side so here I use fuse and fuse is Fuse is used so that try to understand and Suppose maximum current required in my home is two ampere suppose And due to any fault some hundred ampere current comes over here So what should have what what will happen if these line directly go Suppose these lines are one line is collected to my fridge One line is corrected to my TV and one line is connected to my washing machine. What will happen? They they can only tolerate up to two ampere. Suppose any wire is there Specifically in the electrical electrical equipments at home. They can sustain only I mean they can sustain current only under a certain limit so if a five ampere like ACs at Your home not more than five ampere should be supplied there so if hundred ampere is going through it the wiring inside the electrical equipment will burn so to Overcome this particular problem. So what happens instead of these lines directly going to my equipment They'll first go to fuse and wires from fuse will go to my Electrical equipment so what will happen these fuse and these fuse wires are made of either copper or Aluminium something so what will happen? If more than two ampere, so suppose hundred or not hundred ampere suppose ten ampere current is coming These wires will break automatically And if this breaks no current will reach up to my electrical equipments and my electrical equipments would be safe So that is why fuse is used So that is what it has been written in your book that if a current larger than a specified value flows through circuit Close through the circuit the temperature of the fuse wire will increase This melts the fuse wire and breaks the circuit the fuse wire is usually encased in a cartridge of porcelain so if you see generally It's a white porcelain in which fuse is there so that if any blast is there or any Fire is produced it can be contained only here because porcelain is not affected by fire. So That is what is there now you look at here the fuse used for domestic purposes are rated as 1 ampere 2 ampere 3 ampere and 5 ampere for electrical iron it consumes 1 kilowatt so nearly 5 ampere so Generally, I'm hardly hardly 10 ampere is used anywhere for bigger machines and all 10 ampere can be used But 5 ampere is generally more than sufficient. So That is what the case is now we'll move to access exercise before that I would like you to Ask me any question if you have why people are leaving and going I Not interested. Okay. No issues if you have any doubt ask me would curse One second. Just give me a moment please. Okay, so Chalo, so let me Look at the questions which are there and Then we will move ahead so the questions where On peace number You have 14 Same page. There are three questions written over there and Electric iron iron consumes Energy at a rate of 840 watts when heating it at maximum rate and 360 watt when heating it at the minimum rate the voltage is 220 volt Find the current and resistance in both the cases so Just do it all of you Try to do it Solve all the questions Then my I'll solve the third question. You solve the first question first Okay, so if you look at I'm solving the first question now if you look at The first question P max is equal to 840 watts so P is equal to V square by R R is equal to V square by P So V is equal to 220. So 220 square is 484 Double zero divided by 840. So this and this is gone. How much I get? I get 8 into 5 6 times it will not go. So let me just divide it 48 4 0 divided by 84. So let me just this will go by 4 so This will be one two one zero and this will be four divided by one so 21 so one two one zero divided by 21 So it will go five times and then it will be 57 point something So the answer is there in your book. So 57 point six ohms. It has been written and V is equal to IR. So You know that I is equal to 220 divided by 57 point six. This will not go four times So this will be 3.81 ampere and in in in this is part a this is part B is when P min is equal to 360 watts So R is equal to V square which is 484 double zero divided by 360 So this will again go by so this is one two one zero divided by nine and if you do it you will get 134.3 ohms and I would be equal to 220 divided by 134.3 that will come out to be 1.63 and yes That's simple Any doubt in the first question anyone? Okay, let me go to second question second question is more easy so second question is a hundred June and This is work done or heat whatever you want to take and R has been given as four ohms T has been given as one second So H is equal to I square RT. So hundred is equal to I square Multiplied by four into one. So I square comes out to be hundred by four Which is equal to 25 I comes out to be equal to five amperes So voltage would be equal to I into R. So that is five into four that is 20 volts question number three Question number three is See even if power rating is two kilowatts. I Don't know how much power is utilized. So two kilowatts is there and So if it is utilized for one hour a day so What kilowatt are how many units are used? Electricity consumed Daily is equal to Power into time. So two kilowatt into one So two kilowatt are is consumed daily for 30 days Conjunction is two into 30 60 Kilowatt are or 60 units. I told that one kilowatt are is one unit. So this is 60 units so as One unit Is three rupees 60 units would be three into 60 180 rupees That's the answer question number four you solve Let me know once you are solved once we have done done Utkar sir have written and written a number in the group You message on that number you will get added in some of the other group given a number of course Message on that I've written a number look at look at the previous message Okay question number four Question number four is telling me that I think it should be so work done is equal to Q into V and Q is equal to it. So we I T and Harsini, I'm solving from phase 14 So V is equal to 220 into 10 Into so 220 into 10 would give me T. I'll use later. This is power into time So I'm finding out power power is 220 into 10. How much it is? 2200 so this is in what I know unit of power at Electricity consumption is kilowatt hour. So it has to be converted into kilowatt This is 2.2 kilowatt and then It has to be so For how many hours it is used it is used 30 into five hours. So 150 hours it is getting used so 150 Power consumption is equal to 150 into 2.2 so that is equal to 300 330 and 330 multiplied by 2.5. So it gives me So 330 into 5 by 2 So this is 165 165 into 5 is a 25 rupees. That's the answer Okay, so now let me start with another topic and that topic is Nothing but magnetic effects of electric current. I have already discussed in the class Few experiments have been listed. So the austere experiment which has been listed over there That I'm going to discuss with you. You just look at the figure in your in your book I'm not drawing it because it will take a lot of time so What happens? There is a magnetic needle SN which has been shown in your book. This is on page number 15. I am talking over a stand holds a wire AB Parallel to the needle SN and is connected to a cell It is observed that when the plug keys closed a current passes through the wire and magnetic needle gets deflected When the current is stopped magnetic needle will return to its initial point So I have told you three kinds of magnetism. I just read it so that you can Get what I'm going to teach I told that magnetic magnetism in any particular Magnetism is of three kinds permanent magnetism few elements show magnetic property permanently then we have Induced magnetism. I showed how induced magnetism in the class. I have shown how induced magnetism Produced here. We are talking about Electromagnetism magnetic field produced due to electricity now this particular topic. I have done in two classes very very prominently so Austered experiment is just the part which has been written over there if in exam You are being asked that what is austere experiment the two drawings which have been made over there in the book Just made the two drawings and just write that if there is a current in the wire AB The needle will start deflecting if there is no wire in the If there is no current in the wire AB middle needle will return to its original place. That's what you have to do okay Experiment for magnetic field pattern also I have done there you just go through it. There is nothing Big on it. So I'm not getting it the formula which has been written over there B is equal to mu naught I divided by 2 pi a I have done it Thousand number of times in the class. So I'm not repeating it Right hand thumb rule Right hand thumb rule also I have been doing too many times in the class. So I'm skipping it wherever Whatever things I have done in the class. I'm just skipping it Okay, so magnetic field in circular coil has to be studied that I can do for you And then I go to solenoids Just let me check what all I need to do magnetic field lines and property I have done force on moving charge in a magnetic field. I have done then I need to do moving coil galvanometer After moving the DC motor is there in the syllabus DC motor electromagnetic induction AC generator all these things are there and Transformers just let me know Okay, fine entire chapter is there as soon as I ask whether it is there in the syllabus or not look at the response in the group my God Okay, medans. I will also teach transformers if transfer is also there No worries So Just give me a moment. Okay So magnetic field you to circular cell circular coil So if you look at the figure which has been made over there, let me draw a Rectangle for you the figure is something drawn something like this so It's something like this. There is one magnetic coil like this and the another one like this and then we have Current flowing like this. Oh, we have battery source over here and there is an Rio stat over here and Current is supplied like this. So current is going like this and current is going like this Now try to understand if current is flowing like this. I have told you how So suppose I have a circular coil here This is the coil. So in this coil Suppose I have a here and I have be here in This while the current is like this now by right hand rule you can find out the so let me read the Arrangement for you. So we have field patterns around the current carrying wire. It has been shown over there At every point of the wire the concentric circles represent magnetic field around it So what will happen is look at here? Forget about circular coil. Let's discuss about Long coil. What is have what will happen is that? at equal distance around any point there would be a circle where Magnetic field would be same if this is distance are so around this Coil there would be a circle where magnetic field would be Fixed similarly here if I increase this R. So suppose I make it R1 So this would be something like this So that is what is it is saying that around each point over here. There would be a circular If at a certain distance there would be a circular pattern like this, which is so the magnetic field out here Near point a the magnetic field lines are anticlockwise how to find out clockwise anticlockwise So you use right-hand rule if you use a right-hand rule you will find that it'll it'll anticlockwise and at at at a and then clockwise at See it has been written wrong at a it should be clockwise and and at B It should be anticlockwise I think As it has been shown in your book also and and and and and the magnetic field B is given by Mu naught n l divided by 2 R. So R is the distance N is number of tons in the wire L is length of the wire and likewise So this is what due to circular current the only thing important from the magnetic field perspective is if you make these Circles like it has been made over there. So it would be something like this Something like this something like this. What is it showing? It is showing a circular pattern of magnetic field around this particular circular wire Okay, do you have any doubt in this you can ask no, I'm unable to see the book properly. So The clockwise anticlockwise thing which is there you write as per given in the book Okay, magnetic field you to solenoid Just read it so that when I explain it, it would be simple for you Have you read it? Now look at look what happens in why solenoid first of all. Yeah so Look at here if if a straight wire is there It produced certain amount of magnetic field at a point and This is due to the complete wire So I gave you formula of mu naught i by 4 pi cost theta 1 minus cost theta 2 I have discussed in the class It was due to the whole length of wire So these many lengths this much of length suppose this this length is 1 meter 2 meter whatever it is Is not creating any addition effect of magnetic field It was observed that whenever a wire is Made made like helix different turns are given every turn acts as different conductor all together and Magnetic field if if same length of wire is added like this Then the magnetic field will keep on adding up for all the different turns over here so that is why To utilize this particular wire in better manner it can be Folded in helix it can be folded like a helix in the form of helix and we can find out that The magnetic field due to all the turns are added up in one direction and hence The magnitude of the magnetic field increases. So that is why We use solenoid Magnitude of magnetic field increases for the same length of wire now what is solenoid solenoid is a coil having Large number of circular turns and this is what this pattern large number of circular term together is known as helix form Fine and it is insulated wire the wires are insulated and When they are Won't like this it looks like a cylinder. So that is why it in in your in your book. It has been written that It isn't the shape of shape of cylinder now as I have already discussed with you that when the current starts flowing through it each of these circular circular turns act lights act like separate conductors and they'll produce their magnetic field which will get added up now What is the direction of the magnetic field the current is going like this if you apply your? Thumb goes out so from both the sides so magnetic field will always come out of This side and it will go towards one second It will go towards the another side like this So from wherever magnetic field comes out We call it North Pole and wherever it goes inside we call it South Pole so North Pole to South Pole and then What happens is? Inside this helix the magnetic field lines would be from South Pole to North Pole So always mention this that in helix the magnetic field lines comes out of the North Pole goes to the South Pole Inside the helix it goes from South Pole to North Pole. So these are the position of magnetic field lines and That is why because the magnetic field Field is adding for all the different terms It can be compared to a permanent bar magnet because the same property can be found out there So this is compared to a permanent bar magnet now the question arises that How can we increase the magnitude of the magnetic field from the solenoid? So if you increase the number of turns there is one possibility that use more number of turns so magnetic field will get added up and Magnitude will increase the second thing is increase the current because magnetic field is always proportional to current But increase in current is only up to a possible limit So we were discussing when we were discussing current rating of different equipments at our home that It cannot go beyond certain range So here also it cannot go beyond certain range because if you increase it this proportionately the wires or the Wire which forms the coil will burn out So that is one case so that is why in case of solenoid only The magnetic field property has to be or if more Current is Supplied to the coils it has to be cooled down properly So it can be water cooled or some other some other gas Can be used to cool it Now polarity I have already discussed so North Pole and South Pole I have already discussed looking from the face of the coil the Current around the face is clockwise direction to the Face represent South Pole. So see what happens is it's a general rule If if there is an electromagnet magnet so Electromagnet means current is supplied to the conductor So if if you look at the conductor from one side and if if you find that current in the conductor is in clockwise Direction that face of the conductor would be South Pole. This this is common for all Electromagnets. This is not only for solenoids. So always remember if electric current is supplied to Electromagnet from whichever side the Face is is is like the current is getting supplied in clockwise direction That would be South Pole from whichever side the current is is getting supplied. I mean you it looks like current is supplied in anti-clockwise direction that would be North Pole. So we need to understand that and Magnitude remains the same now. Let me go to A Fleming's left hand rule just mug it up from their IBL sine theta I have already done now Let me directly go to a moving coil galvanometer all other things I have done Just ask me any questions if you have what I have to repeat. Let me know Tan maya, what should I repeat? I'm trying to say that whichever side suppose in any conductor suppose This is a circular conductor and if I look at from here and this this current looks to be going clockwise If the current looks to be going in clockwise direction this side will be the side which I am facing is South Pole of of this electromagnet from other side if you look it will it will look to be going in Anti-clockwise direction. So the other side would be North Pole So that is what I was explaining that in any electromagnet if you look it from a side From where the current is going clockwise that side is South Pole if you look it from a side from where current is going Anti-clockwise that is North Pole as simple as that The third method of producing large magnetic field in solenoid is to increase the amount of current Which is flowing through it, but you cannot increase One second, what is the third method mentioned just wait for a moment So if you include the soft irons it There would be another effect of induced magnetism through soft iron. That is what it has been written over there There is nothing to be explained It's itself is a conductor Okay, so let me go to moving coil galvanometer Now I request all of you to just go through moving coil galvanometer Till the time you are reading it. Let me make moving coil galvanometer on the board read it all of you This is very important. This is North Pole. This is South Pole This is Torson head H this is suppose coil ABCD in between there would be a soft iron core over here. So this is soft iron core This is my copper wire, so I mark it a B C and D so I can write this as Copper wire and then I have a concave mirror over here Now the basic principle of moving coil galvanometer is that whenever a copper coil will so suppose The current is is flowing like this Current is flowing like this. So it would be like this here now what will happen is suppose a Copper wire is here and current is like this and and and like this So magnetic field is uniform from North Pole to South Pole So if you if if magnetic field suppose is going inside So what will happen the direction of force is I into L into B So I is like this B is like this so you can see that force would be on This side here and on this side here. So Forces in opposite direction you might have read it in class 9 is this will provide a torque and due to this torque this will start moving so The actual thing is The current carrying coil kept in magnetic field experience a couple So this torque is known as couple couple means Presence of force in opposite direction on one body and due to that this will start rotating So couple will create a rotating effect, which is proportional to the current It is used to detect and find the direction of flow of current and And and and voltmeter and ammeter so when we discuss about how to change it into voltmeter and ammeter I'll discuss that now.  We I'm sorry, we have rectangular coil, which is copper made of copper and Insulated copper we have and this coil is kept in between this north and south pole and One portion of The coil is attached attached for Balance it has been attached with the torsion head a small mirror is attached To it. This is to Why mirror is there? This is very interesting. This is not an optical instrument No, so mirror is there to observe the deflection or produced by the coil How much deflection is produced by the coil to observe this we have this mirror So when coil will you have to ask me when coil will Produce any particular deflection there would be no deflection if current is not there So deflection will only produced in presence of current the current enters to This torso head and leaves through spring So it has been shown over here that current will leave through here and it there would be deflection produced over here As simple as that so there would be deflection here the complete coil would be deflecting Why now the the question is why the magnet has been made in in the concave shape like this shape like this so Mac see the reason behind making it concave is that Magnetic field is always parallel to the plane of the coil So if magnetic field is always parallel to the plane of the coil if it is not parallel then the Couple produced would be not uniform. So that is why a uniform mag to produce a uniform Magnetic field this has been made Concave so this is the working sorry construction of this now. What is the working of moving coil galvanometer? Working of moving coil galvanometer is this ABCD coil ABCD is as you can see in the diagram Coil ABCD has been kept in the magnetic field So if if this is like this so now suppose this current is like this so I Is on this side B is on this side so l into B if you do some couple would be produced so F is equal to I L B sin theta if this is in this direction and current is going in this direction Theta would be equal to 90 degrees. So this always remains perpendicular So in working first you have to say that ABCD has been kept in in in directions such that The angle made between current and field is 90 degree or you can write that the current and field are Perpendicular to each other if current and field are perpendicular to each other the direction of the current in a B and C D are equal and opposite therefore both experience I Have already told you that they'll experience force in the opposite side and hence they will form a couple Now you can ask me that why I am I'm talking about AB and CD only why not AD and BC Try to understand current would be like this here and current would be like this here in BC now current and Magnetic field are in same direction in BC. Sorry in CD and or AD and It is in opposite direction in BC So either it will be theta is equal to zero or theta is equal to 180 degree and the force applied in these particular Conductors or or a length of wire AD and BC would be zero So that is why only two forces would be applied on the sides AB and CD So and as the couple has been produced, it will try to rotate the coil. This is called deflecting couple So I have already told you these things What happens when when the couple rotates the suspension wire, which is there and This this is the suspension wire and this is spring will get when it will start rotating the spring will start getting twisted and When the spring will start getting twisted so What will happen is this will provide an opposite couple when when the spring will start getting Twisted due to inertia that the opposing couple will be there, which is called a restoring couple So this starts rotating in certain direction due to this This will start getting twisted. It will oppose it and due to opposition of the rotation of the coil Restoring couple will start Now what will happen? This is very this is made. This is spring is made of phosphorus brown bronze and Why it is made of phosphorus brown bronze because it has very high tensile strength So even if it is rotated very Rotated very briskly what will happen? It will not break down if it breaks down. We will be unable to Measure the rotation effect so Try to understand when the moment of the force produced by deflecting couple is equal to moment of I mean what will happen is it will opposite in one direction the Coil will try to opposite in another direction and when the two couples or the two Forces are equal at that point of time coil will rest in in in a new position. So suppose coil Is moved or coil is rotated by angle theta So tan theta is proportional to I or I can write that I is equal to K tan theta so Try to understand That we can find out the current from here that how much current is flowing through it by K tan theta So I will explain it once more. Let me go to construction Construction is like that. There are two permanent magnets North Pole and South Pole why it is concave It is concave because a uniform magnetic field parallel to the plane of Coil can be produced. We have a coil which is made of insulated copper wires and It has been rotated in rectangular shape It is fixed to a Torson head edge and the current enters to the coil through torsion head edge. Now what happens is We have a spring which is made of phosphorus phosphorus and bronze and Why phosphorus and bronze has been selected for this spring because it has a very tensile strength and even if The rotation of the spring is very high and very brisk Because of very high tensile and strength. It will not break Now what happens is? In after the construction we can go to the working of it. We know that If current is passing through any particular current carrying conductor which has been kept in external magnetic field The force applied on it would be I L B sin theta now. There are four different conductors. We can look at here a B BC CD and AD so the force will be applied only of a B and CD because here the Current and the magnetic field are perpendicular. It is the force will not be applied on BC and and AD Because current and magnetic field are parallel to each other. Hence theta would be 0 or 90 and force would be 0 Once the force is applied The force would be in opposite direction on the coils on the wires a B and CD Hence as the force generated are in opposite direction or couple would be generated due to this generation of couple the Or a torque whatever you may say due to this the coil will start rotating in certain direction as the coil starts Rotating in certain direction. It will start rotating this is spring also but this spring will oppose this rotation finally what will happen in this rotation and opposition of rotation at one particular point when the Restoring couple and and moving couple both are The amount of both the couples are same then this particular spring will rest at certain position and From there the change in the position of or the angular change in the position of spring can be found out If that is theta then we know that tan value of that theta is proportional to current flowing through the Through it so I can write that I is equal to k tan theta and from there I can be found out Any doubt in moving coil galvanometer? Any doubt in moving coil galvanometer? Okay, so as I was explaining Moving coil galvanometer. Yes the mirror thing I missed. It's a concave mirror just to see the deflection inside the Inside the coil nothing else mirror use of mirror is to see the deflection how much deflection is there. That's it The tan part Ruchita it is if it is not there in the book don't write it in the exam I'm saying that this is spring will get a reflected by a sorry deflected by an angle theta the amount of this tan value of This theta is proportional to I more the current more deflection will happen. So I Propositional to tan theta So I can be written as k tan theta as simple as that where k is a constant okay, fine so I Hope moving coil galvanometer you understood properly now. Let me go to convergence So conversion of moving coil galvanometer and we have a class on Saturday. So don't miss the class on Saturday I'll again revise these things for you on Saturday. So whatever I can do till 3 o'clock. I'll do it rest all I will Do it on Saturday? So where is Conversion because a lot of people what I feel is that only half the people are are attending the class today so My wish is that the all these conversions and and and transformer these are the only two main topics left out if possible, I would like to do it in the class on Saturday because a lot of people now as you know moving coil galvanometer those who have attended the class will understand emitter and Voltmeter easily there is absolutely no doubt about it So I would like to take it in the class on Saturday So that everyone can can Can be part of discussion only few people are attending the class I I thought the attendance would be a hundred percent because it was an immediate class so What do you say? I think we should be I think we should be Doing These topics in the class because a lot of people are not there. What do you say? Okay fine, so I teach I Take those classes in those topics only three topics are left out electromagnetic induction and and then we have Conversion and transformers won't take more than one hour of time So I'll take it on Saturday. So see you on Saturday. Don't bung the class that day Thank you so much


gency shelter on Elmwood Avenue as well as one on Shelburne Road in just the last few years. There, and that's probably not quite comprehensive. In short, there's been a large addition of new resources that are part of the way the city responds to a whole range of calls that we receive. And the bulk of these resources have been added in the police department through sometimes often after consideration of other alternatives and then decisions by this body and others that the police department was our best tool for bringing about the change that we wanna see quickly and effectively. And the feedback that I've gotten from the public and others has been quite positive on the addition of these resources. The team at the police department that has been spearheading a lot of this work has been very effective and energized. And my sense is this work is headed in a very positive direction. At the same time, it's been my sense for much of the past year that as good as the work from these resources that is being done, as good as it is that there is a higher level of coordination and really coordination is the key word for it, I think, that is necessary to make, to really get the fullest public value for our constituents, for the people that we are engaging with for the staff, for the people doing this work. We need some greater ability to greater administration and coordination of these efforts. And that's what this job will do. And I think it's going to have an immediate and very significant impact and really leverage these investments that we've already made so that we get even more out of them. I'm also, I welcome the addition of a senior level, assistant director level civilian at the police department. It's really not something that we've had on a permanent basis before and I think it is going to strengthen the department to have that kind of ongoing civilian presence. So this position has my full support and as it is one of the things that I thought we need to get done in the near term in January and I'm appreciative that Chief Mirad, Lacey Smith and others have worked hard to develop this job description and put it in front of you. I appreciate that the police commission did deliberate on this position after a presentation and with the assistance of President Karen Paul. And my understanding is that the commission endorses this position creation as well. I hope it's something that we will act on tonight so that we can move this work forward expeditiously. Thank you, Mayor Weinberger. Chief, was there anything that you wanted to add before we go to questions from the council? No, I would like to mention very quickly that the work that we've done inside the police department with regard to building up new kinds of response has been something of which I'm very proud. The development of the CSL program, the work that they are doing, the ways in which they integrate with the officers, the ways in which we have an essentially seamless interaction between both groups. The CSLs go and speak with officers, the officers go and speak to the CSLs and yet there's a high degree of autonomy for what we call CAPE and the services that are in there, both the victims advocate, the domestic violence victims advocate, the domestic violence prevention officer, the only sworn officer who is assigned to CAPE, the CSLs and Lacey Smith, the CSS.  They do, generally they work on their own. Lacey does report to me, but she works routinely with the OICs, generally a lieutenant who is the officer in charge. That kind of integration is really important to the success that the program is having. We are an agency that once upon a time was essentially two thirds sworn police officers and about a third of professional staff, most of whom were behind the scenes and that included parking. So once parking was out of there, that ratio changed, but then of course, at the same time as parking was removed, we had the change in our headcount. We're currently about 50-50 with regard to the number that we have versus the number that we, excuse me, the sworn number we have versus the professional number that we have. Now that's because we are still significantly understaffed with regard to the current headcount allotment of 87 and therefore it wouldn't be 50-50 if we were fully staffed in officers, but we are a changed agency with those ratios and because of that change, we really do need to have a difference in structure and the introduction of this position is one that allows us to be able to have strategy and oversight and direct guidance of our professional staff in a way that we have not always had from a sworn officer perspective. I'm really excited about this position. I'm excited about the work that we're already doing in that unit and excited to have that increase and be something that we really are able to work on even with more forethought, that is, and more ideas about where we go next. We're going places that no other agency in this state is going. We're doing things that very few agencies of any of our size are doing and I think this is indeed the next step towards continuing that progress. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks so much for those comments. We'll go to questions from the council, beginning with Councillor McGee. Thank you, President Paul. I don't have any questions, just some comments. I won't be supporting the creation of this new position this evening. As I've shared in the past, I've long thought that the non-police responses that we've invested in should be housed in their own department, not within the police department. And I shared this with the mayor late last year before he announced the Comprehensive Public Safety Plan and told me about this position for the first time. I was also concerned to learn early last week that the city's considering operating the crisis response team within the police department. I understand that we're not being asked to decide the future of the crisis response team here tonight, but I don't think we can really separate the two items as we've seen in the job description that this new position will be responsible for overseeing that team. From the beginning, the intent of the crisis response team was to model it after the CAHOOTS program in Eugene, Oregon, where the police department manages the contract, but is not responsible for the day-to-day operations of the program. For me, this decision before the council tonight is indicative of a problem with decision-making in the city that leaves out those who should be at the table until it's too late to make changes, functionally treating our governing bodies as a rubber stamp for these actions rather than collaborative partners in imagining what community safety will look like in Burlington. Along this line, I don't feel like I can do the job I was sent here to do to advocate for the needs of my constituents who have told me time and again that they want the crisis response team to be a separate entity from the police department. Should this pass tonight, as I imagine it will, I'm glad that we're taking the step to ensure that civilian employees of BPD are overseen by a civilian assistant director, and I wanna be sure that my vote tonight is not a reflection of my views of the civilians working hard to support our community members struggling with substance use disorder and houselessness. I'll be working on a resolution in the next couple of weeks to ask the administration to begin the process of examining what it would look like to remove our non-police responders from the police department and creating a new department centered on the functions of crisis, advocacy, and intervention programs. In proposing this new department, it's not my intention that they would be entirely siloed from the police department, just like the fire department is a separate department filling an essential safety function while working in collaboration with the police department, I believe this new department could do the same thing. For decades, we've allocated resources to the police department with the hope that they will adequately address so many of the social issues we face. We know now that that doesn't work and it requires us to recommit ourselves to transforming our community safety apparatus to address the safety needs of our community in a holistic way. And so for that reason, I won't be supporting this tonight. Thank you. Thank you, Councillor McGee. Councillor Hightower. Be followed by Councillor Grant. Great. First, I'm just gonna get on my soapbox, which I already did at the HR committee, but folks in the HR committee are gonna hear it again, which I just look forward to in the next year of working on updating our job description so they're not just long bullets, but actually give folks an indicator of how much time they'll be spending on different things. That is nothing to this job description. That's just how the city is doing job descriptions. More relevant to this job description is I feel much like Councillor McGee does. I also feel like the vision for 2020 was that we had, as modeled by the CAHOOTS model, a separate department that works really hand in hand with the police department, but can also, we don't like, but can offer a different response. I think that this kind of positions it as a lesser alternative, as opposed to as a part and parcel of our comprehensive community response. And I think that that's been a trend that we've kind of seen ongoing, and I just wanna make sure that we stick to the commitment of having this be part, a truly a holistic part of our community response. And I think I just wanna remind ourselves that in 2020, there was a basically director position created to do some of this work, maybe not with any useful outcomes as far as at least I can see, but I don't see why we're not taking the same route for this position to report directly to the mayor and work closely with the acting chief. Thank you. Thanks, Councillor Hitchower. We'll go to Councillor Grant. I have some comments, but I have one quick question. I printed out the job description this afternoon. At the bottom it says draft. So does this mean that this job description is not yet finalized? Responding for our HR department, that is just our standard practice because when it goes to you, it could change. Okay, thank you for that. So I am very torn. I have worked very hard as a resident of the city and on the special committee to review policing policies and then on the police commission to bring about change and how we view our community response system. And we're making progress, but at some times it's felt the stress around the fight dragging, kicking and screaming, getting people to come together to think differently. So I am glad that there is some progress I do believe that the civilian employees that are going to be assisting here do need to have a civilian supervisor. I also would have preferred this not to be within the police department. I would have preferred this position to of course they have to be working with the police department, Howard Center and other stakeholders in our community response team, but either to be a separate department or actually to be under the fire department because they are also dealing with a lot with regards to the number of drug overdoses and sometimes mental health issues that they respond to. But I was also told that there might be an issue with the union with regards to the training that paramedics are expected to have and how would that affect this new team, our CAHOOTS model that we are now calling CARES. But that hasn't been vetted out. So I guess I will say that I appreciate that some input is being listened to.  We're in this kind of cycle. And sometimes when things start to move very, very quickly we forget to notify and include important stakeholders. And I do appreciate after I expressed some concern about the communication around something so important, I felt really left out to know that the Howard Center had pulled out and I didn't know that and that had been a week. So I do greatly appreciate Council President Paul going to the police commission attending that meeting last week and saying we need to make sure that the commission gets a full voice. That was very, very important. I was not comfortable with Chair Seguino having to feel she needed to apologize for slowing things down. I didn't think that she needed to do that because what she was asking and what I was asking was that as opposed to a quick email forcing people to conform to an extremely short timeline because we all know with open meeting you can't email everybody that that was really the best option that you were willing to go to that meeting and allow the commission to have a voice. And I think that meeting brought up a lot of really valid points. I appreciate the change in the title. I really do. I thought using alternative, we got to get away from alternative because this is what we're doing now as part of our community response. It's not an alternative. It is part of our community response. I appreciate the name, the change of our Kahootz model because what was originally submitted was Merck. And that just terrified me. I'm like, what are we doing? What are we thinking? You come up with something like that when you have a lack of input, right? We're gonna use Merck, a very common abbreviation for mercenary. I mean, CARES is, can we all agree that that's a significantly better name that is really showing what we're trying to do here? So to have that input has led to positive changes. I am concerned that the CARES unit would be, at least here, limited to four people. I think we have to consider possibly in the future, depending how the labor market is, we would want to have more people in this unit because we need to cover more hours in the day. That's a big issue we have right now. We are not covering enough hours in the day with these positions. So having said that, I am loath to delay the implementation of this CARES unit, our CAHOOTS model. I want to encourage further vetting. I do still think we need a point person for communication so we don't have what happened last week happen again so that whoever is that point person, okay, we've got this change. This is who needs to know right now. I'm gonna vote for this position, although I don't like where it's placed because I believe social work and police work is very different. I think I'm probably convinced by the words of Lacey Smith who as a CSL, her team works very independently but I do sometimes still hear rhetoric coming from the police department where there's a lack of understanding of the root causes of the issues. And that gives me pause because if you don't still fully understand the root causes of the issues, how can you properly manage a team that is being tasked with harm reduction? So I think that's something we really need to think about and I think there's still a lot of education that needs to occur and I'm happy that there is more acceptance but there still needs to be more education so that we know that these people are really going to be truly supported in their non-sworn positions. And I will end it there, thank you. Thank you so much, Councilor Grant. We'll go to Councilor Carpenter and then to Councilor Bergman. Thanks, I mean I am really very supportive of this and very happy we changed the name. We need this position at this point in time. We've got a number and a growing number of civilian employees carrying out the missions we want. We don't have another department to place them in. I think we need to look at that. I think we need public safety with a big P and how does that relate to police response, fire response? I agree sometimes fire is almost always the first one on a scene. We've got the whole coordination with dispatch. You're only gonna call 911s. You're not gonna call 911 and 211 and 411 or whatever the options are and so I think we've still got a lot of work cut out to figure out how that would work more smoothly. But I think we've gotta carry this process through and having a senior position to help that is just gonna be critical and I hope the Council itself, as we move along, we'll look at some of these broader issues of how do we do that comprehensively and with a lens that in fact the city of Burlington itself is not ever gonna be a social service agency. How do we bring in our partners that are out there?  That's just not how the system works but I think we've gotta do that and I'm hopeful in this next year that we can kind of take that to task and really spend some good quality time figuring that out. Thank you, Councilor Carpenter. We'll go to Councilor Bergman and then perhaps go to a vote at that point. Thank you. I'm curious as to why the CSOs are not included. Thanks for the question. The CSOs are operational components. Their role is essentially that of a police officer without certain police authorities. So they're underneath the chain of command that goes with sworn officers. That's the kind of work they respond to. They respond to noise complaints. They respond, they do non-investigatory crashes. They go to animal complaints, particularly those that involve physical risk but they are not doing what this work is and therefore when we talk about CAPE and about crisis assessment and intervention programs, that's not what CSOs are. So I appreciate that. I would ask us in this iterative process to be looking at that. We have equivalents of CSOs down at permitting and inspections. They're civil enforcement officers. In fact, they can investigate housing violations that are criminal offenses and yet they're not sworn officers. They can go to court and get search warrants. So I think that the idea of moving things away from sworn officer responses is something that we need to continually look at and I would appreciate us doing that with an open mind.  So I mean, I think that there is a danger for us relying on community people to be doing things but enforcement people are different even if they're civil. And so with regard to them and the Urban Park Rangers I'd ask us to be looking at that more openly, open-mindedly and I'm appreciative of the concerns related to the placement of this. However, I see this as an iterative process just like I'm asking for some open-mindedness on the CSOs. I'm looking for us and I hear that particularly from Councillor Carpenter's comments of this being an iterative process. And so I'll support this because I see it as a step for us to continue to move forward and we can do that together. We've made a lot of steps together over the last year plus that I've been on this council. And I know that people were doing that before that in at least the year. So there's been some real rethinking and we'll begin to do that on other areas of public safety and that this is why I agree with the Councillor Grant. I'll be supporting this for those reasons and she said many of the things as well. Thank you. Thank you, Councillor Bergman. Seeing no others in the queue, we'll go to a vote. Oh, I'm my apologies. Councillor Chang. No, thank you. I mean, I think what I have to say I already talked about it at Board of Finance but I wanted to be appreciative of Chief, Acting Chief Mirad for the development of this job description and the job description of all the non-sworn officers position. We do not say it enough but also we know that you do alternative policing and all of this. I know that personally that you have developed these job descriptions, right? I am particularly concerned of housing disposition at the BPD. It's a concern of mine, especially when the care model will be housed under the BPD. I ask to divide the question. I just want to vote in support of this tonight. But if we are, I'm going to be very clear here and looking forward to the resolution that Councillor Maggie just talked about. I believe that in this city I have been the most consistent Councillor about public safety in here. Let's not defend the police. It was very clear we defended. Let's not raise the cap of the police until the CNA report. It seems that we want to do all in peace misapproaches and with this position, with the CAHOOTS model, I think there is another better alternative of providing public safety here. Taking into account the fire department, the park rangers, CSL, CSOs, this is a different position that can look into the CAHOOTS and leaving BPD alone to do their job and to do it right. And maybe that resolution you're talking about, we can bring something that would make the most sense. Yeah, I will be supporting this tonight, but with strong reservation, if we are going to house the CAHOOTS model at the BPD. Thank you. Thank you so much, Councillor Jang. I believe now we can go to a vote. So all those in favor of the motion to approve this position, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed, please say no. No. So that passes 10 to two. Thank you so much and thank you for being here. Thank you for, and as well as at this late hour. That will bring us to our next deliberative item, which is 7.09, a summary of current and proposed camping on municipal lands ordinance and operational policy. We have Haley McClanahan, the assistant city attorney, joining us via Zoom. She is the city attorney who authored this communication and just by way of background, this memo came as a request from the council to develop a public document that summarized our camping on municipal lands ordinance and operational policy. Attorney McClanahan, I don't know if you wanted to make any comments and then we'll just go to, if there's any comments from the council, it's, we're really just voting to advance a communication, but if you had anything you wanted to mention or highlight, the floor is yours. Thank you, President Paul. I think that this will mostly be a refresher for a majority of the council and given the late hour, I won't go into too much detail given the memo. What I will say is that the memo primarily highlights several differences, as well as a few similarities between the proposal that was floated by Councillor McGee and others back in late winter, early spring of 2022, as compared to our current framework, which includes our camping and parks ordinance located in Chapter 22 of the Burlington City Ordinances, as well as our working policy around the public sheltering on our public lands. So I'm happy to take any questions from the council at this time or if there are specific areas that the council would like me to elaborate on further, but otherwise again, just in the interest of not being repetitive for the council, I will leave it there to begin. Great, thank you, Attorney McLenahan. Are there councillors who wanted to speak to this and we also can go to a motion if you'd like to, Councillor McGee? Sure, I'm happy to make a motion. I would move that we leave the reading except the report and place it on file and ask for the floor back briefly after a second. Great, thanks, Councillor McGee and that would be seconded by Councillor Travers. Councillor McGee, the floor is yours. Thank you, President Paul. I don't have many comments on the memo itself. We've been having this conversation for a number of months in the CDNR committee with extensive feedback from the public. I just wanna note for the public that with some of the reporting that happened on this today, that this ordinance proposal is still being discussed but it is also being discussed alongside a number of other supports for our unhoused community members and whether we decide to adopt this ordinance or not, it's very clear that with the state ending the Motel Voucher program that provided housing for thousands of people throughout the pandemic, that is coming to an end at the end of June and the state as well as the city are going to have to take a serious look at how we are going to support folks who are housing insecure through the summer and especially once we get back to the fall and the winter, I remain deeply concerned about where we're heading in terms of losing those supports. And so while it might not be the ordinance that I proposed, I do hope that we can move forward with other supports for folks who are experiencing houselessness. Thank you. Thank you, Councillor McGee. Are there any other Councillors who wish to speak to the policy or have any questions about the Council Grant? I just wanna agree with everything that Councillor McGee said and I just think that while it looks good on paper, the reality of the situation once these funds are gone, we have the potential to have encampments very quickly develop and I just don't think we're prepared. Thank you. Thank you very much. Seeing no one out, Councillor Jang. Yes. Thank you, Councillor Grant for that question. It's really important and let me ask this to the attorney and also to McGee. Is this communication saying that tomorrow anyone can camp at a park from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.? Is it what it's saying? This is the proposed ordinance that I'm reading right here. Is it accurate? Go ahead. Go ahead, Councillor. Go ahead, Attorney McLenahan. Thank you. So Councillor Jang, I would say under our current framework, camping in parks is currently prohibited and camping is defined as sleeping in parks during the overnight hours. Under the proposal, there would not be a blanket prohibition on camping in parks. It would really have to do more so with the activity that was occurring at a particular campsite. So currently under our ordinance, camping in parks with very few exceptions that are outlined in Appendix D, which is the parks, rules and regs, sanctioned campgrounds, sites at North Beach, things of that nature, camping in our parks is currently prohibited. So basically what I'm saying is yes. Starting tomorrow, people can come and sleep at the park. No, no, this is a memo, purely comparing what we currently have to the ordinance that I proposed last February. This does not, voting on this tonight is not adopting that ordinance proposal. This is a summary of the current and proposed camping. Yeah, read the summary. I have read the proposed amendment. I have read what we have in the past as policy, as ordinance, right? So then what has changed? It's actually, if you go to Reddit, people are talking about this in a very not constructive way, right? There are people who are really concerned that the city council is allowing people to park starting tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Anyone can come and park, sleep at the park. You're telling me that this is not it. We're not allowing that, right? So those who are listening, then this is not the case. Thank you. Thank you, Councillor Chang. Council, Mayor Weinberger. So I guess I would like to say a few more things just in case Councillor Chang's not the only person kind of confused about what's happening here. The CDNR committee has been working on this issue for a very long time. I believe the resolution that authorized some exploration and it never, and I think it's important to understand the council never endorsed this direction. The council said the CDNR committee can look at our current ordinance and look at this new ordinance that have been drafted by, as I recall, Councillor Bergman and McGee and staff time is gonna be put into looking at this and we're gonna explore this. That resolution was passed not by this council, not by the last council, but by two councils ago. And if you recall, Councillor, I wanna make sure that there wasn't confusion about this. I said at the time that I thought the proposed ordinance was very problematic, but I wasn't opposed to there being some policy work at the committee level and that there has been some of that work and that work has, unfortunately, it was slowed down by the departure of Dan Richardson after doing some preliminary work on this. Quite a bit of time has now passed since this first was undertaken. Some of the facts on the ground have changed. We have added two low barrier shelters over the course of the time since this, I believe since the first resolution was passed as possible, the new place shelter was set up shortly before the resolution. To me, that is low barrier, public health oriented emergency shelters are a far better solution than the kind of designated camping or opening up of public lands to sheltering that the ordinance envisions. If we tonight were considering adopting the proposed ordinance, we would be having a very different debate you can be sure tonight. I do not, I didn't support it then and I definitely don't support now the direction signaled by the original ordinance. What is happening tonight is simply that this analysis from the assistant city attorney from the city attorney's office is being shared in a public way. It's been shared in a confidential way with the council in the past. This is now being made a public document and the council I believe is about to vote to accept the report and put it on file. From my perspective, there has been quite a bit of staff time that has been put into this initiative up until now over the last two years and the facts on the ground have changed and I believe the people of Burlington are clear they do not want us to move in this direction before any additional staff time is put into exploring the McGee and Bergman resolution. I think it's important there to be another vote by this full council that would signal that direction but I'm hopeful that won't happen. Thank you, Mayor Weinberger. Did you want the floor back? Okay. Councilor Hightower, then we'll go to a vote. Great and just because I realized I think the last time I made these comments may have been when we were discussing this in an executive session. So I will share these publicly as well because I think they're valid for the public. So as the mayor just gave the overview so this was sent to CDNR in February of 2022 and so in the direction and the resolution asked for a comparison of the proposed policy to what we currently have previous city attorney Dan Richardson started to work on a memo but then departed so it was incomplete that memo was held by the mayor's office. It took a while for CDNR for the mayor's office to release that to CDNR. Once they did, the CDNR committee at the time decided that that wasn't the full, that didn't meet the resolution that the city council had passed and asked for the analysis. By the time we got the analysis we basically already decided we weren't gonna move forward with the policy as a committee which is the reason we're not talking about implementing the policy based on what CDNR did meet with, went to three committee meetings or not committee meetings, went to three meetings. One meeting of city staff, one meeting of city staff and kind of folks who are supporting on the ground as well as then one kind of higher level meeting at the Chinn County level to talk through the proposal but also just what folks wanted to see and didn't wanna see that especially was what made us move away from the general policy as proposed by Councillor McGee. I don't think Councillor Bergman was on the council at the time. That's great. And I lost my train of thought. Right and so, but CDNR is still interested in having some kind of more comprehensive solution and we did pass a resolution that we're hoping to bring to the council at the next meeting to try to address some of these same issues but in a way that's more aligned with what we think city staff and some of the other folks would like to see. Thank you. Thank you, Councillor Hightower. We have a motion that was seconded. Seeing no others in the queue, we'll go to a vote. All those in favor of the motion to waive the reading except the report in place and on file, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed, please say no. That motion passes unanimously. Thank you very much, Attorney McClanahan, for joining us this evening and for your work on this report. Thank you. With that, we'll go to our final deliberative item which is 7.10, a resolution request for $2 million of ARPA funds to build or improve community infrastructure, community gathering spaces. As the council and community will recall, we had a presentation from Cara Al-Nazwari, the director of business and workforce development and Samantha Dunn, assistant director for community works at CEDO at our last meeting. This plan was unanimously supported by the Board of Finance and tonight we are here to vote on the resolution to allow the request to move forward. Do either of you, did either of you, thank you so much for being here. Did either of you wish to make some comments or did you want to simply take any questions or comments from the council and since we have well vetted this, hopefully well vetted this proposal, but if there's anything you wanted to add, please do. No, I was going to be repetitive so I'm happy to open it to questions. Okay, thank you. Are there any questions, comments from the council? Councilor Grant. Thank you. The Roosevelt Park Pavilion, I love the idea. I think that's great that community feedback is bringing this to fruition. Just want to make sure that when you get to the point where starting to look at the project, I understand that this is just kind of a general design to get people starting to think about the concept. There's a lot of sensitivity in the area where some members of the community feel like they're not included in some of the conversations and I've already heard some negativity about this plan and at the time I didn't know anything about it so I was like, hmm, I'll find out, I'll ask. So I just want to make sure that we are really, I want to avoid what happened with the art that's going into Dewey Park, that turned into a really big thing because there was just a complete lapse with conversations within the communities and the first thing anybody saw was this unfortunate likeness that was way out of scale and scared people and that took us down a road that I don't think we needed to be down. So we'd love to be part of that process and hopefully, Councils McGee and Bergman be part of that process too, just to make sure that people understand what we're bringing to our area. We deserve nice things and I think this is great because so many other parks have these type of opportunities to have gathering spaces under a shelter, protection from sun or if it starts to rain or just to be more supportive of gatherings and there's a lot of things that go on there with regards to sharing food and things like this. So I think this is a great idea. I just want to make sure the communication is on point. Thank you. Yeah, I appreciate that Council Grant and I do know so the imagery of the pavilion is definitely not right sized for the park. So yes, as you said, that was an image sort of to get the juices flowing. And in addition, the pavilion, as we had answered Council Bergman's question last time, will be part of an overall assessment of Roosevelt Park that Director White is taking with her Parks and Rec Department to see all the different pieces of infrastructure that are in Roosevelt Park and making sure that they fit well together and serve the purposes that the community wants. But in addition, I definitely heard you that you want more communication and community involvement. Thank you so much and thank you Council Grant for that question. There's no one else then I will actually go to Councilor Carpenter for a motion. And wave your reading in the dust. Thank you, Councilor Carpenter, seconded by Councilor Grant. Is there any further discussion on this item? Seeing none, we'll go to a vote. All those in favor of the motion, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed, please say no. That motion passes unanimously with many thanks to both of you for all of your work and all others for their work on this effort. Thank you. That completes our deliberative agenda. We do have a couple of other items. The first is item number eight, committee reports. Any committee chairs with committee reports? Councilor Barlow. Thanks, President Paul. The Transportation Energy and Utility Committee will be meeting on Wednesday, May 3rd at 6.45 p.m. And on our agenda, we'll be talking about, well, it'll be our first meeting with our newly formed committee. And so we'll be talking about priorities, but we'll also be talking about the North Inuski Avenue referral to the committee, the roundabout naming and an update on the McNeil symposium. So it'll be an action-packed meeting. And I invite everybody to turn them. Thank you, Councilor Barlow. Any other, any others? Councilor Trappers. Couldn't tell if that was a look to not. No, that was a look. Committee report or a look to maybe you should. Yeah, I thought that might be what it was. Yeah, okay. So the Ordinance Committee will be meeting a number of times this month, as I believe I mentioned at our last meeting as well. On May 8th, we will continue the discussion that we started a couple weeks ago with respect to the South End Innovation District, hoping to make some good headway if not wrap up our review of that zoning proposal. And then Councilor Bergman and I are co-chairing with the Ordinance and Charter Change Committees, the process to really dive into police oversight and accountability. We heard public comment earlier sort of questioning where we were in that process. Well, it's taken some time to find a schedule that works for everyone, but we will be meeting for the first time to begin the discussion on that issue on May 4th. We have additional meetings scheduled for May 23rd and May 30th. An invitation in addition to the Councilors gone out to a pretty broad group of stakeholders, including leadership at the police department within the city, including union leadership, both within the police department and other municipal unions. It's gone out to advocates behind question seven, among other folks, so we're looking forward to a really good discussion there and getting the process started. Thank you. Great, thanks. Any other committee chairs? If there isn't, I have a committee report. So the Public Safety Committee is gonna be meeting on May 9th at 6.30. The meeting is gonna be entirely remote. We couldn't get a room, so we're gonna be meeting remotely. On the agenda will be a work update on the CNA recommendations and update on recruitment and retention, CSL and CSO hiring, as well as an update on commercial downtown plans for the summer and then an update on drug crisis and enforcement. And the meeting was posted to the city calendar today, so should be up there. We're gonna go slightly out of order and go to item number 11, updates from the mayor and then we will come back to general city affairs and the President Council updates. Mayor Weinberger. Thank you, President Paul. I appreciate the chance to just jump the line here just to share a brief report, because I do have to, I don't think I've ever done this before, but I have to leave the happy family things about to happen that I'd like to catch. So I just wanted to share that I have with the council that I've received a annual report from Burlington Telecom, and since it's been some time since they've given a report directly to the council, I and President Paul have encouraged them to come and give the report in person. I think they'll be doing so at the May 15th meeting and the council will get their report in advance of that meeting. Thank you. Thank you, President Paul. Great, thanks very much. So we'll go on to item number nine, which is city council general city affairs. Any councilers wish to offer comments on general city affairs? Councilor McGee. Thank you, President Paul. I just wanna speak briefly to the concerns shared by parents at public forum this evening about finding discarded needles in Callahan Park and just acknowledge that we've heard these concerns quite a lot from community members throughout the city finding. Discarded syringes in our public spaces. We see it in the substantial increase in C-click fix reports that we've seen over the last few years and it's a constant reminder of the crisis that we face with overdoses in our community and in the state of Vermont and across the country right now. I have tremendous sympathy for families faced with finding these syringes in our parks. I have sympathy for the city staff we're tasked with taking additional trainings to be able to clean these up as safely as possible. And I have deep sympathy for people who use drugs in our community don't have a safe place to do that and to ensure that they're gonna make it through the night. We lost for the third year in a row a record number of Vermonters to overdose in 2022. When we passed our resolution in March, that number was 237. The number has gone up to 239 since then and we'll likely go up again in the coming months. And as we've seen from police data so far this year we have had a very sharp increase in reported overdoses in the city. On par with at this point this year we're on track with where we were in June of last year. And those aren't overdose fatalities those are just reported overdoses. And so I wanted to speak to this tonight because I am appreciative of this body's support the previous council support for establishing an overdose prevention center in Burlington. I would like to report that the house committee on human services has taken testimony on age 72 a bill that would enable the establishment of overdose prevention centers in the state of Vermont. I'm grateful to the mayor and Scott Pavek for providing testimony on that. And just really want to underscore for anyone who's watching how essential this support is it will dramatically reduce the number of discarded syringes we see on the streets. It will dramatically reduce overdose fatalities. And I think at a time when we are seeing an increasingly dangerous drug supply and record number of overdose fatalities year over year now is the time for us to take this important step. So thank you. Thank you very much Councilor McGee. Councilor Hightower. I'll be brief because we're three minutes over but I just want to acknowledge that I think a few disability advocacy groups send us emails and Instagram messages about what they're calling an anti-masking event that's happening in City Hall and just want to acknowledge the mayor's response that the city has an obligation to not discriminate and who they are renting the space to but that we don't necessarily condone those events. So just want to, by not necessarily I would say that we don't condone those events. So just want to give a shout out to folks who've reached out to us and just remind folks that we are still in a pandemic and there's folks who have compromised immune systems and that the more we can mask up and definitely the more that we can support folks who choose to mask up, the better off we will be as a community. Thank you. Thank you, Councilor Hightower. Councilor Barlow. I'll be brief as well but I wanted to acknowledge the anxiety that I've heard in emails and phone calls over the most recent shooting on Saturday and I've heard it from the business community and I've heard it from residents and I just want to appreciate the work that the detective unit at the Burlington Police Department is undoubtedly doing to try to solve and address that. Thank you. Thank you, Councilor Barlow. If there's no others, oh, Councilor Grant. Thank you. I wasn't going to mention that shooting but code enforcement needs to do something. They need to be up there and they need to be dealing with those apartments. The apartments are trash. They're according to people that are familiar with what's going on up there. There are people who've come in from outside of town and there could be possibly dealing but there's a whole situation there. Like there is in other places in the city where we know things are happening but we don't seem to address them. I wanted to acknowledge a very wonderful family event, the YMCA Kids Fest. It was really beautiful. It was really, there were hundreds and hundreds of people there. I think their count was 700 coming through. I'm not sure but every family of every background in this city was there and it was great. I had the honor of being the DJ and the only thing that made me sad in the beginning was that there was an issue with getting me to the power supply because the area where they keep all the garbage and they're composting, they've had to close. And they're like, oh, we didn't think to get the key. We got to find the key and we had to lock it because there were unsavory things happening and I was like, oh my God, unsavory things but it was really sad to hear when someone else came by, oh, are you all set? I'm like, don't, we're waiting for the key to get to the power source. And she told me that their composting program, one day they brought the kids out to do the composting education, opened it up, needles everywhere. So we need, it was asked on Comstat, when is the state going to declare a drug state of emergency? I don't think we need to wait for the state. I think the city of Burlington, we need to do it ourselves and I would like us to consider talking about that because we're in deep. I hope everyone has an opportunity, if you haven't already done so, please review the chief's report. Last year, year to date, according to the recent report, the overdoses were in the low 30s. This year at the same time, 104. We're in trouble, we're in trouble and the overdoses indicate the increase in use and we still have the larcenies and we still have the card thefts. The card thefts are not related to criminal masterminds who are shipping these vehicles out of state. These are people leaving their cars running and it is not victim-shaming. People have to understand, they cannot do that. Please do not leave your car running with the keys in it. They are literally being driven away and when they are found later, they very often have all kinds of drug paraphernalia and other evidence that people were using them for shelter and for use. Just those reminders. In the last thing is a happy reminder at the Sustainability Academy, we'll be having their annual pancake breakfast this Saturday morning from 8.30 to 11.30. See you guys there? Yeah, yeah? All right, please come by, support the SA, the PTO. Thanks. Thank you, Councilor Grant. I've been to that many times and it is quite an event. Seeing no others, we'll move on to item 10, which is Council President Updates. I have a few, I know we're running over, but I do have a few and I don't wanna let it go. First is the presentation on the neighborhood code is now been posted, so you can take a look at that. Other thing, just wanted to note that we did approve on our consent agenda the council meetings for the remainder of 2023 and the first couple of months of 24 leading up to organization day, so you can put those on your calendar. Other updates, please, if you are available, June 4th, Sunday, June 4th, that is the day that we will be out at 8 a.m. on Main Street repainting the Black Lives Matter street mural. So if you're able to be there, we're happy to have you come and if you wanna get the word out to, particularly to constituents who may have missed it the last couple of times and would like to be able to participate. Won't be starting at 8 o'clock, that will be when the architectural team will be out there doing all of the lining and then we will start the painting shortly after. Then also, we are gonna have a fairly packed meeting for May 15th, the Parks and Rec Commission and the Board of Health will be here to present their annual report in addition to what the mayor had mentioned about Burlington Telecom. And last item is that another mark your date, mark your calendar, May 31st. May 31st will be the deadline for the annual submission at anyone who wants to apply for a commission or board that is expiring on June 30th. It will not give us a ton of time because it will take a couple of days, that's a Wednesday. We will then have them all collated and organized and then I will be reaching out to any and all of you looking for four people to serve on the selection committee for boards and commissions and it will be in seven days this week with the deadline of May 31st. That is all, that brings us to the end of our agenda and I would be very happy to have a motion to adjourn. Seconded, made by Councilor Hightower seconded by Councilor McGee. Any discussion on that motion? I would imagine not. We are adjourned without any objection. It is 10, yes, it is 1040. Our next meeting is May 15th. We will look forward to seeing you then. Have a good evening.

Service agreement is required. Better service? Bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. For almost two weeks now, the senior citizen centers at Phelps and Marlbone have been in a relative state of limbo. At first, the centers were closed during an alleged illegal meeting by the Pike County Senior Citizens Board. Then, the Phelps Center was told they could reopen, only to be told days later that they can't reopen. Now, today, finally, the senior citizens board made it legal and official that the centers at Phelps and Marlbone will close effective today. Live the space, that effect. Now it's official. The Phelps and Marlbone senior citizen centers are closed. The Pike Senior Citizens Program Board passed an 8-to-1 vote in favor of the closures during a meeting today, with even the representative from the Phelps Center voting in favor of the closures. The meeting got heated several times, with accusations and character attacks flying from both sides of the debate. Board Chairman and Elkhorn City Mayor Mike Taylor even threatened a lawsuit following a vague accusation of wrongdoing by Pike Magistrate Hillman-Dotzen. But with the centers, the ultimate reason for the closures, according to the board, money, Taylor said state mandated pay increases last year are largely to blame for the board's budget problems. We didn't want to do this, and what we did was buy numbers, like if the people coming in and out of the center, and we didn't want to do this, but we had to have a budget cut of $95,000, that's what we were in the red, and if we wouldn't have, we'd have to shut them all down. Dotson spoke on behalf of the Phelps Center and said if the board closes the centers, he would lead an effort to have the Pike Fiscal Court pull some of its funding it provided to the senior citizens program. Dotson also promised that if the centers close, the county will make an effort to operate them out from under the umbrella of the senior citizens program board. Dotson already has support from one member of the court in that threat. I'll go for taking the money back and let the county run it, you know, by the county, because the county owns the building. Now the closures took effect immediately and today's meeting was legal, so the matter of the senior citizen centers appears to be settled for now, but based upon the discussion at today's meeting, we could be gearing up for a battle between the seniors board and the Pike County Fiscal Court.
