SELECTBOARD
(Cite as: 24 App. V.S.A. ch. 127, § 506)
-
§ 506. Compensation
(a) The auditors shall fix the compensation of the members of the Selectboard, unless
the Town has voted to eliminate the Office of Auditor pursuant to 17 V.S.A. § 2651b, in which case the Town may fix the compensation of the members of the Selectboard
at an annual meeting. If the Town has voted to eliminate the Office of Auditor and
the voters fail to fix the Selectboard’s compensation, the members of the Selectboard
shall be compensated at the rate at which they were compensated during the immediately
preceding year.
(b) Except as provided in subsections 506(a) and 704(l) of this charter, the Selectboard shall fix the compensation of all elected officers
and all officers appointed by them. An elected official may notify the Selectboard
in writing, at least 50 days before the annual meeting, that he or she wishes his
or her compensation fixed by the Town, and the Selectboard shall insert an article
in the warning to that effect. If so warned, the Town may fix the compensation of
that elected official for the balance of his or her term of office or for such shorter
period as the Town may vote. (Amended 2015, No. M-12, § 2, eff. May 26, 2015.)
