§ 55. Admission of new member municipalities
The Board of Supervisors may authorize the inclusion of additional member municipalities
in the District upon such terms and conditions as it in its sole discretion shall
deem to be fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the District. The legislative
branch of any nonmember municipality that desires to be admitted to the District shall
make application for admission to the Board of Supervisors of the District. The Board
shall determine the effects and impacts that are likely to occur if such municipality
is admitted and shall thereafter either grant or deny authority for admission of the
petitioning municipality. If the Board grants such authority, it shall also specify
any terms and conditions, including financial obligations, upon which such admission
is predicated. The petitioning municipality shall thereafter comply with the approval
procedures specified in 24 V.S.A. chapter 121. If a majority of the voters of the
petitioning municipality present and voting at a meeting of such municipality duly
warned for such purpose shall vote to approve this chapter and the terms and conditions
for admission, the vote shall be certified by the Clerk of that municipality to the
Board of Supervisors. Thereafter, upon satisfactory performance of the terms and conditions
of admission, the municipality shall by resolution of the Board of Supervisors become
and thereafter be a member municipality of the District.
