Town Meeting will begin at 9:00 AM this Tuesday at Copley Memorial Gymnasium at People's Academy. Live music by Allen Church beginning at 8:30 AM. Also you can start checking out the exhibits before the start of the meeting.

There is an excellent guide about Town Meeting that you can find at the Vermont Secretary of State's website about Town Meeting. After clicking on elections go to the citizens guide to town meeting.

My job as moderator is to facilitate the will of the voters. State law mandates that we use Roberts Rules unless we adopt some other rules. Since there obviously aren't any other rules we are governed procedurally by Roberts Rules.

If anyone has any questions about Roberts rules or any aspect of town meeting please feel free to send me an email to dpolow@polowlaw.com or ask me prior to the meeting next Tuesday. Also, please feel free to ask any procedural questions during Town Meeting I will try and help. And always remember a simple majority can overule the moderator!
