The Select Board is at the center of town government in Vermont and is responsible for the general supervision of town affairs

Functions

  • Legislative - enacts local ordinances, regulations and policies.
  • Executive/administrative - prepares and manages the budget, oversees all town expenditures, supervises town employees and controls town buildings and property.
Vermont State Statutes that govern the functions of the Select Board are 24 V.S.A. § 872; 17 V.S.A. § 2649.

Select Board members want to hear from you.  The sooner they hear from you about problems, or the earlier in a decision making process you offer you comments, the better it is.  Select Board members welcome questions, concerns or just chatting with Middlesex residents and encourage you to contact them by phone, e-mail or in person.

Members

Middlesex has a five-member Select Board. Members are elected by Middlesex voters by ballot on Town Meeting Day, for staggered terms of either two or three years.
