§ 602. Admission of new member municipalities
The Board of Supervisors may authorize the inclusion of additional member municipalities
in the District upon the terms and conditions it, in its sole discretion, shall deem
to be fair, reasonable, and in the best interest of the District. The legislative
branch of any nonmember municipality desiring to be admitted to the District shall
make application for admission to the Board of Supervisors of the District in the
form and manner that the Board shall determine appropriate. The Board shall determine
the effects and impacts that are reasonably anticipated to occur in the event such
municipality is admitted and shall thereafter either grant or deny authority for admission
into the District by the petitioning municipality. If the Board grants such authority,
it shall also specify any terms and conditions of said admission, including the financial
basis upon which such admission is predicated. The petitioning municipality shall
thereafter comply with the approval procedures specified in 24 V.S.A. chapter 121.
At such time as a majority of the voters of the petitioning municipality present and
voting at a meeting of the municipality duly warned for such purpose shall vote to
approve the agreement and the terms and conditions for admission, the vote shall be
certified by the clerk of the petitioning municipality to the Board of Supervisors
of the District. Thereafter, upon compliance by the petitioning municipality with
the terms and conditions of admission, the municipality shall, by resolution of the
Board of Supervisors of the District, become and thereafter be a member municipality
of the District.
