Mayor requests plaque honoring Jerry LeBlanc and two capital appropriations; council refers items to committees
Summary
The Waltham mayor asked the city council on May 27 to approve a plaque honoring Jerry LeBlanc and to authorize two appropriations — $181,500 to relocate the School Facilities Department and $812,688 for FY2025 minor capital items — and the council referred the matters to committee.
The mayor communicated three items to the Waltham City Council on May 27: a request to erect a plaque at the former Activity Center entrance to honor Jerry LeBlanc; an appropriation request of $181,500 to relocate the Waltham School Facilities Department from 258 Trapelo Road to 617 Lexington Street; and an appropriation request of $812,688 to fund multiple departments’ minor capital items for fiscal year 2025.
The council recorded a recusal by Councilor Kathleen B. McMenamin on the plaque matter and referred that request to the Licenses & Franchises committee. The relocation and capital-appropriation requests were referred to the Finance Committee for review. No votes on funding were taken at the meeting.
Councilors did not discuss detailed line items for the capital requests on the council floor; those details will be handled through the Finance Committee’s upcoming budget hearings and meetings with division heads, where the committee will examine scope and funding sources.
