§ 2908. Agreement on price not binding unless ratified
The mayor and council of a city, the selectboard of a town, or the trustees of a village
may negotiate and agree with the utility upon the price to be paid for the plant and
property. However, any agreement shall not be binding upon any municipality until
ratified by three-fifths of the voters present and voting by Australian ballot at
a duly warned annual or special meeting that is preceded by at least 20 days by a
public hearing on ratification of the agreement. Notice of the public hearing shall
be given in the same manner as it is given for the annual meeting. A ratifying vote
shall be had within six months from the date of the filing of the reply provided in
section 2907 of this title. (Amended 1979, No. 183 (Adj. Sess.), § 3.)
