Votes at a glance: West Jefferson board approves multiple budget, street and grant measures
Summary
The West Jefferson Board of Aldermen unanimously approved a series of agenda items on May 5, 2025 — including street closure resolutions, a capital ordinance for the DWI stormwater project, Budget Amendment #4 and a Water Resource Development Grant resolution — all recorded 5-0.
At its May 5 meeting, the Town of West Jefferson Board of Aldermen approved several administrative and capital items by unanimous votes.
Alderman Rusty Barr moved, and Alderman Stephen Shoemaker seconded, approval of resolutions to close streets for the "Christmas in July" event and the Antique Fair; the motion passed 5-0. The board then approved a capital budget ordinance for the DWI Stormwater Project (motion by Alderman Stephen Shoemaker, second by Alderwoman Beth Shelton), and adopted Budget Amendment #4 — described in the minutes as a correction to Amendment #3 — on a 5-0 vote.
Mayor Tom Hartman explained that a Water Resource Development Grant would cover additional stormwater expenses at the park and maintenance facility; the board approved the grant resolution 5-0. Minutes record no substantive discussion on these items.
The meeting minutes show these votes were routine approvals taken during the regular session; no implementation timelines or dollar amounts beyond those implicit in the capital ordinance language were provided in the record.
