The Monkton Selectboard and the Development Review Board (DRB) are both currently seeking someone to take minutes for their meetings. The Selectboard meets for about two hours twice a month, and the DRB meets for less than two hours twice a month. It’s an interesting way to stay informed about town business while earning money. Minutes do not have to be taken in person as the meetings are broadcast on Zoom and recorded. The written minutes must give a true indication of the business of the meeting covering all topics that arise. They must include the names of all present, the motions made, and the results of votes. Pay is $20/hour. Please send inquiries to townadministrator@monktonvt.com

DRAFT Town Forest Management Plan

After hearing from the community through an online survey, six topic meetings last fall, and through emails and conversations, the committee has completed the draft of the Monkton Town Forest Management Plan, and it’s ready for the community to review.

Draft Monkton Town Forest Management Plan

The plan is some 53 pages long, but there’s a four-page executive summary at the beginning if you’d prefer to review that. For details, reasoning, maps and images, you can reference the full plan, starting on page 7.

The committee is hosting two events at the Monkton Town Hall next week to review and discuss feedback on the plan, let us know if you can join us! They will be the same format and we’ll have light refreshments to share. ZOOM will be available :

Management plan community review & discussions:
