§ 53. Admission of new member municipalities
The Board of Supervisors may authorize the inclusion of additional member municipalities
in the District upon terms and conditions as it in its sole discretion shall deem
to be fair, reasonable, and in the best interest of the District. The legislative
body of any nonmember municipality that desires to be admitted to the District shall
make application for admission to the Board of Supervisors of the District. The Board
shall determine the effects and impacts that are likely to occur if the municipality
is admitted and shall thereafter either grant or deny authority for admission of the
petitioning municipality. If the Board grants authority for admission, it shall also
specify any terms and conditions, including financial obligations upon which admission
is predicated. The petitioning municipality shall thereafter comply with the approval
procedures specified in 24 V.S.A. § 4863. If a majority of the voters of the petitioning municipality present and voting at
a meeting of the municipality duly warned for the purpose votes to approve this chapter
and the terms and conditions for admission, the vote shall be certified by the clerk
of that municipality to the Board of Supervisors. Thereafter, upon satisfactory performance
of the terms and conditions for admission, the municipality shall by resolution of
the Board of Supervisors become and thereafter be a member municipality of the District. (Added 2005, No. M-8, § 2.)
