Selectboard says procedural errors prompted revote before applying to Vermont Bond Bank
Summary
Officials said procedural posting and advertising steps were missed at the March town meeting; the board adopted a special resolution and hired bond counsel so the town could hold a special vote and apply to the Vermont Bond Bank.
Audience members at the Williamstown informational meeting pressed officials on why a revote was necessary after the March town meeting. Selectboard members explained that required procedural steps had not been completed when the article was presented in March and that the town corrected those steps prior to the special vote.
Specifically, the board said the warning was posted this time in five locations rather than the usual three and that the warning ran in the local paper for the correct number of weeks. The board also adopted a special resolution documenting the town's need to go to bond and engaged bond counsel to represent the town in its application to the Vermont Bond Bank. The transcript does not record the special vote's numerical outcome.
