From the Montpelier Common Council meeting on October 12, 2026

Montpelier approved the long-delayed voluntary annexation involving Mayor Brad Neff's Henderson Street properties after returning to the matter for legal review.

The issue first stalled in August when a council member raised a conflict-of-interest concern, and it remained unresolved at the Sept. 15 meeting. On Monday, Neff said the city attorney had concluded the annexation was not a conflict of interest even though two of the three Henderson Street properties involved are his.

Residents questioned the proposal during the discussion, raising fairness, sidewalks, and past paving costs. The council then voted to approve the annexation. One council member abstained.

The meeting record does not clearly state the ordinance or resolution number, and it does not verify the exact street numbers.
