Selectboard — Vermont Code § 12

§ 12. Selectboard

• (a) Except as otherwise provided in this charter, all the powers of the Town shall be
  entrusted to and exercised by a Selectboard consisting of five members chosen by the
  voters of the Town of Windsor. Three members shall be elected for terms of three years
  and two members shall be elected for terms of two years. The Board shall discharge
  all the duties conferred or imposed upon selectboards by law, including the duties
  of water and sewer commissioners, Board of Liquor Commissioners, and any similar ex-officio
  duties; and when sitting in such official capacity, it shall not be necessary to convene
  in a separate capacity. (b) The Selectboard shall meet within three business days after the annual election to
  elect a Chair and a Vice Chair and to designate a Clerk of the Board. At the same
  meeting, the Board shall adopt rules of order and fix the time and place of its regular
  meetings, which shall be held at least twice a month, except for once a month during
  the months of June, July, and August. Special meetings of the Board may be called
  at any time by the Chair, or, in the Chair’s absence, the Vice Chair, or by a majority
  of the Board in writing to the Chair. (c) No action of the Board, except on purely procedural matters, shall be valid or binding
  unless approved by a majority of the full Board, except that in the case of a passage
  of an emergency ordinance, at least four affirmative votes shall be required. Voting
  on all matters, except procedural matters, shall be by roll call unless in the case
  of unanimous agreement. (d) Upon due notice and hearing, the Board may remove one of its members from office for
  failure to attend four consecutive, regular meetings of the Board without prior approval
  of the Chair. Such removal shall be done only upon the affirmative vote of all four
  remaining members. (e) The Selectboard shall, at its organizational meeting, designate an acting Town Administrator
  who shall have all the powers and duties of the Town Administrator in the event of
  the latter’s absence or disability. The name of the acting Town Administrator shall
  be on file in the Town Clerk’s office at all times. (Amended 1999, No. M-12 (Adj. Sess.), § 6, eff. May 9, 2000.)
