The Village Trustees adopted Legislative Priorities for 2012 on January 3, 2012:

Legislative Priorities 2012

In accordance with Section 815 of the Village Municipal Code:  No person shall park or leave unattended a vehicle of any type on any street, road or right-of-way in the Village of Essex Junction during the period December 1 through April 1 of the next year between the hours of 12 midnight and 7 AM.

At their 11/8/11 meeting, the Trustees adopted a resolution to join the National Flood Insurance Program. Maps effective in July 2011 were used to determine that Essex Junction has a total of eight sites impacted by flood hazard areas, including two commercial sites, two health care sites, one industrial site and three multi-family sites. In order to get federal flood insurance, which is much less expensive than private coverage, a municipality must be in the NFIP.  Further, FDIC loans cannot be made for a structure in a flood hazard area unless the municipality is in the NFIP.  A municipality must adopt flood hazard regulations and Essex Junction's Land Development Code regulations have been updated accordingly.

The Village was officially enrolled in the NFIP on April 12, 2012:
