All Town ordinances, except as specified, may be repealed by vote of the Town as follows:
A petition signed by not less than five percent of the registered voters shall be
filed with the Town Clerk requesting a vote on a question of repealing the ordinance.
The Selectboard shall call a special Town meeting to be held within 60 days of the
date of filing the petition to vote on whether the ordinance shall be repealed. The
