Elect Shap Smith as Moderator at Town Meeting

Past event
Mar 5, 2019, 9 AM to 12 PM

Town Meeting will begin at 9:00 AM Tuesday, March 5 at Copley Memorial Gymnasium at People's Academy. I would like to thank the voters of Morristown for electing me as your moderator over the last 17 years. I am not running for reelection. It has been an honor and privilege to serve as the moderator. Shap Smith has agreed to run for the office of moderator and I strongly recommend you vote for Shap. This will be a nice upgrade for the Town at this position.

Live music by Allen Church beginning at 8:30 AM. 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.
The 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. Even though I am not running again I would be glad to respond to any questions.
David Polow
