A selectboard is a governing body in Vermont towns that is responsible for the general supervision of town affairs. The Selectboard has dutes such as:

• Legislative: Enacts local ordinances, regulations, and policies 

• Administrative: Prepares and presents the budget, oversees town expenditures, and controls town buildings and property 

• Quasi-judicial: Determines rights in areas such as laying out highways, hearing appeals, and acting as the local liquor control commission.

The Selectboard is comprised of five town residents, serving in staggered 2- and 3- year terms, who are voted on at Town Meeting Day.

Agendas, minutes, and videos of our meetings are posted on the town website: https://townofwoodstock.org/boards-commissions/town-selectboard/

Our board follows Rosenberg’s Rules of Order.

There is a set time for public comment before the board starts the agenda. This is an opportunity for the public to offer their perspective on anything NOT included in the agenda. These comments can be timed at the Chair’s pleasure.

Once that concludes, the board will start going through the agenda. During discussion of agenda items, especially items requiring a vote, the Chair will first ask to hear from board members before asking the public for comment.

For all public comment, please make sure to state your name and your address. If you are in person, you will be asked to make comment from the podium where there is a microphone.
