Montpelier, Vermont City of Montpelier, Vermont Annual Report A review of fiscal year 2007-2002007 2008 including proposed budgets and articles to be voted on at Montpelier City Meeting March 3, 2009. IN MEMORIAM 2008 was marked at its beginning and at its end by the passing of two very active and caring citizens – Margot George and Paul Guare. Both gave countless hours to the community in many capacities. Both were dedicated to Montpelier’s history and its preservation. The city is a better place because of their lives. ABOUT THE COVER Hubbard Park's Tower has been a community treasure for over 80 years. Construction started on the tower in 1915 and was fi nished in 1930. The Parks Commission is launching a capital campaign to raise money for preservation and restoration work. To keep the tower in good shape the mortar needs "pointing" (replac- ing mortar that has eroded over time) and the stairs need to be sandblasted and repainted, both expensive projects. The commission is looking to hold several events over the course of the year, including a music festival as well as what is coming to be an annual favorite the Enchanted Forest, as fund raisers. Any and all assistance is always appreciated! Cover photo courtesy of Susan Ritz. Montpelier 2009 / Annual Report / 1.
