Middlebury files charter amendments and schedules July 14 public hearing
Summary
The select board accepted the charter committee's 'version 9' amendments and voted to file them with the town clerk, scheduling a public hearing for July 14 (with a tentative second hearing later in the summer); committee members plan outreach at the town festival.
The Select Board voted on June 9 to file the charter review committee’s proposed amendments ("Middlebury charter update amendments, version 9, dated 5/27/26") with the town clerk and to hold a public hearing on July 14. The committee discussed outreach at the upcoming festival on the green and producing a one‑page summary and QR code for residents to review the changes.
Committee members and staff noted there are procedural requirements to be met for filings and notices (the transcript cites a statutory reference in different ways). The board adopted the filing and hearing schedule on a motion, with members agreeing to evaluate whether a second hearing should occur in August or later in the fall based on attendance and scheduling conflicts.
Committee volunteers said they would prepare summary materials and a display for the festival to encourage public review and comment ahead of the hearing.
