Selectboard notes Town officer elections; Town Agent role no longer statutorily required
Summary
Article 3 on the Town Meeting warrant lists town officer positions up for election; Selectboard member Mark Harley announced his re‑election bid and the board noted Vermont no longer statutorily requires a Town Agent, allowing appointment if the role remains vacant.
Article 3 lists multiple offices to be filled at Town Meeting, including Selectboard seats, auditors and constables. Mark Harley told the board he is running for reelection to a three‑year Selectboard term. "I am interested in continuing to serve as a member of the Selectboard for another 3‑year term," he said.
Shelley Seward explained that the State of Vermont eliminated the statutory requirement for a Town Agent; the position was previously held by Matt Birmingham, who passed away in January. If the position remains vacant after Town Meeting, the Selectboard said it will consider an interim appointment.
