§ 604. Amendment of the District agreement
The Board of Supervisors may amend this chapter by the following procedure. The Board
of Supervisors at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Supervisors may,
by a majority vote, pass a resolution stating its intent to amend this chapter. A
written copy of the resolution, stating the wording of the amendment and the purpose
of the amendment and the date of the meeting scheduled to act on the amendment shall
be delivered to the legislative branches of each municipality and mailed or left at
the usual place of residence of each member of the Board of Supervisors at least 30
calendar days prior to the meeting scheduled to adopt the amendment. The amendment
shall become effective after 30 calendar days following a two-thirds vote of the Board
of Supervisors at the meeting scheduled to act on the amendment, unless a majority
of the legislative branches of member municipalities requests, in writing, that the
Board of Supervisors hold a special District meeting to vote on the amendment. Upon
adoption by the Board of Supervisors or approval of the voters, the amendment shall
be submitted and acted on by the General Assembly in accordance with the provisions
of 17 V.S.A. § 2645. The amendment shall become effective upon affirmative enactment of the proposal,
either as proposed or as amended by the General Assembly. For the purposes of this
section, this chapter shall be considered a municipal charter. This chapter may be
amended from time to time in the manner herein provided, but no such amendment shall
be made that shall substantially impair the rights of the holders of any bonds or
other notes or other evidence of indebtedness or substantially affect any obligations
under long-term contracts of the District then outstanding or in effect, or the rights
of the District to procure the means for payment, continuation, or termination thereof.
