§ 601. Withdrawal by a member municipality
A member municipality may withdraw from the District upon the following terms and
conditions:
(1) A member municipality may withdraw from the District upon a positive vote of the legal
voters of the municipality to withdraw at a duly warned regular or special meeting
of the municipality. Any withdrawing municipality shall continue to be obligated to
pay to the District its share of all debt incurred by the District prior to its withdrawal;
its share of the cost of all long-term contracts entered into by the District prior
to its withdrawal; and all costs, including costs for legal services incurred by the
District, in connection with such withdrawal. A withdrawing municipality shall, in
addition, be liable to the District for any subsequent liability incurred by the District
by reason of any actions or omissions of the District during the time the withdrawing
municipality was a member of the District, the withdrawing municipality’s liability
being the total of the District’s liability multiplied by the fraction the numerator
of which is the total volume of waste disposed of by the withdrawing municipality
during the period the liability was created, and the denominator of which is the total
volume of waste disposed of by the District during the period the liability was created.
(2) No member municipality may withdraw from the District until at least one year after
the District commences to be a body politic and corporate, and may withdraw from the
District only if the District has not voted to bond for construction and improvements.
(3) Any withdrawal by a member municipality shall take place in accordance with the procedures
set forth in 24 V.S.A. § 4863(h) and (j).
