Panton voters asked to approve expanding Selectboard from three to five members

Moderator Martha DeGraff read Article 6 asking voters whether to expand the Board of Selectpersons from three to five members pursuant to 17 V.S.A. §2650(b). Clerk/Treasurer Kyle Rowe explained that, if approved, the town would schedule a special town meeting later in the spring or summer to elect two additional Selectboard members; if no candidates run, the Selectboard may appoint people to the seats. The town’s quorum would increase from two to three.
