After Initial Vote Fails, Vergennes Council Reallocates Infrastructure Funds
Summary
An initial motion to allocate infrastructure funds toward paving, sidewalk repair, a vehicle loan payment and the salt shed failed 0-6; an amended allocation totaling $336,395.88 was passed unanimously to fund FY26 projects and contribute to the salt shed.
The Vergennes City Council first rejected an authorization to allocate Infrastructure Improvement Fund balances toward FY26 paving, sidewalk repair, and a truck loan payment; that initial motion failed 0‑6. Council member Mark Koenig then offered an amended allocation that altered the totals and distribution; the amended motion passed unanimously (Yes 6, No 0).
Under the amended authorization the council allocated $336,395.88 from infrastructure‑related funds to cover the FY26 Paving Program ($125,000), FY26 Sidewalk Repair Program ($30,000), the first‐year loan payment for a Public Works pickup truck ($12,000), and directed $169,395.88 toward the New Salt Shed Project. Mark Koenig moved the revised allocation and Jill Murray‑Killon seconded.
