The Select Board held a public hearing and approved a beer and wine license for Sunflower Organic Pizza, located at 1 Wheeler Road.

They committed to following all town and state guidelines for responsible alcohol service. The establishment is described as being primarily focused on pizza, with New York style, Neapolitan, and neo-Neapolitan options, using locally sourced, organic ingredients.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Adopted; DPW Gate Box Replacement Approved for Night Work
The Select Board adopted the Town of Burlington 2025 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update. This plan is required for FEMA grant eligibility and aims to reduce long-term risks from hazards and disasters.

The work is scheduled for two nights this week, with water shutoffs occurring after 1:00 a.m.
New Online Portal Launched to Simplify Board and Committee Volunteer Applications
A new online form and process for residents to express interest in serving on town boards and committees has been developed. This initiative aims to make the application process more accessible, transparent, and inclusive. The system will allow for year-round interest submission and provide a direct communication channel with the town administrator's office. Vacancies will also be more clearly advertised.
Town Provides Update on ICE Facility Actions; Public Voices Concerns
The Select Board provided a detailed update on the town's actions regarding the ICE processing facility at 1000 District Ave. The update covered historical context, legal actions taken (including court petitions and attempts to obtain affidavits), inter-agency meetings (with the Attorney General's Office, Congressman Moulton's office), and community engagement. The board acknowledged limitations in local authority over federal facilities but emphasized ongoing efforts to seek transparency and accountability. Public comment highlighted concerns about conditions, legal processes, and the broader implications of such facilities.
Annual Board and Committee Appointments Reviewed and Approved
The Select Board reviewed and approved annual appointments for various town boards and committees, with a specific motion to reappoint all individuals whose terms expire on June 30th, 2026, pending their confirmation. The board aims to streamline this process and ensure continuity in service.
