Ways & Means · Meeting of January 14, 2026
BURLINGTON — The Ways and Means DPW/Recreation Subcommittee unanimously approved a $2,315,037 transfer from the general fund to the Water Stabilization fund to align water bill receipts with production costs. Roger Riggs and John Iler voted in favor of the Article 3 adjustment. DPW Director Brian White and Assistant Town Administrator Patrick Lawlor attended.
The subcommittee discussed creating a Water Enterprise Fund to route water bill receipts directly to the fund without passing through free cash, with transfers to the water budget remaining subject to Town Meeting approval; the subcommittee indicated this proposal may be brought forward at May Town Meeting.
