Selectboard
The Selectboard has general supervision and control over the affairs of the town, performing three primary functions: legislative (enacts local ordinances, regulations, and policies); administrative (prepares and presents the budget, oversees all town expenditures, supervises personnel, and controls town buildings and property); and quasi-judicial (determines private rights in such areas as laying out, discontinuing, and reclassifying highways, and hearing appeals as the local board of health and as the local liquor control commission).
For more information, see VLCT's overview of a selectboard's duties and responsibilities.
