2026-11-12 - City Council

Summary

Built from the posted agenda and 39-page packet; no minutes or video recorded yet, so no outcomes are known. No ordinances or resolutions are on the agenda. The body camera pages in the packet are images and could not be read as text.

  • Commendations for crossing guards (2026-410).
  • Homelessness Committee status (2026-411): staff proposes pausing the committee until the new strategic plan "community safety and wellbeing" pillar is set; a councilor is stepping down, so a replacement liaison may be named. See Homelessness Response and Community Safety Priority Area.
  • MPD body camera purchase (2026-412): amount unknown because the packet pages are images. See MPD Body Camera Purchase.
  • Local options tax policy principles (2026-413): FY26 receipts were $1,198,920.03; the memo covers a $50,000 Montpelier Alive request and capital-fund scenarios of $0, $500,000 and $1,000,000. See Local Options Tax Allocation Policy.
