On Monday, Jan. 27, the Essex Selectboard will hold a special meeting for a public hearing about proposed amendments to the Town of Essex Charter. The amendments, which were proposed in a petition from voters, would expand the Selectboard from 5 at-large members to 6 members – 3 of whom would be elected from inside-the-Village and 3 of whom would be elected from outside-the-Village. Residents will ultimately decide whether to approve the changes at a Town Meeting ballot vote on Tuesday, March 3.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the Essex High School cafeteria, 2 Educational Drive, Essex Jct. A second public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 3.
