Selectboard
The Selectboard is at the center of town government in Vermont, and Middlesex is no exception.
Middlesex has a five-member Selectboard. Members are elected by Middlesex voters at Town Meeting, for staggered terms of either two or three years. The Selectboard is responsible for the general supervision of town affairs. It has a number of functions, including: legislative (enacts local ordinances, regulations and policies), and administrative (prepares the budget, oversees all town expenditures, supervises town employees and controls town buildings and property). It also does work that is quasi-judicial--for example, it determines private rights when the town is laying out and reclassifying town highways.

Selectboard members want to hear from you. The sooner they hear from you about a problem, or the earlier in a decision-making process you offer your comments, the better it is for everyone. Selectboard members welcome questions, concerns or just chatting with Middlesex citizens, and encourage you to contact them by phone, e-mail, or in person. (See Contacts)
Citizens are always welcome to attend Selectboard meetings and join in the discussion. The agenda is posted at the Rumney School, the Town Hall, and the village store, or you can request one from the Selectboard Assistant.
Selectboard meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm at the Town Clerk’s Office. The public is always welcome. To get a particular issue on the agenda, contact the Selectboard Clerk. (See Contacts)
