The Burlington Select Board met on November 9, 2026. The Board discussed the DPW snow-and-ice account deficit following the prior winter: after state assistance, the remaining deficit was $860,698. The administration said it plans to use the state-authorized option to spread the amount over three years, or $286,899 per year, while considering whether other funding sources could reduce the impact; no vote on this item is recorded. No RFPs, contract awards, or vendor purchasing decisions were identified. The Board also appointed Dean Boyer as a DPW heavy equipment operator effective November 16, waiving the 15-day notice period, and approved a common victualler and entertainment license for Supsen Hot Pot; its liquor-license application is still pending. The Board approved a conservation restriction on a portion of a residential property and a temporary Bedford Street closure for the annual Turkey Trot.

The Government Review Committee presented its proposed town charter and report, including recommendations on the town administrator’s role, budget procedures, committee attendance, and further studies. The committee plans to seek later votes on the report and charter, as well as separate warrant articles on extending the town moderator’s term and establishing a recall process; these were update discussions, not approvals at this meeting. The Board also approved its 2027 meeting schedule, including an additional October 4 meeting. A ribbon cutting for Overlook Park improvements was noted, but no project cost or contract action was discussed.
