Town of Monkton Appointments

The Selectboard is looking to make appointments to the ACRPC Transportation Advisory Committee and to the Russell Memorial Library Board of Trustees.

The Transportation Advisory Committee is an ad-hoc subcommittee of the Regional Planning Commission to provide local input and involvement for updating the Regional Transportation Plan, recommending plans and projects to the Vermont Agency of Transportation and commenting on federal, state, regional and local transportation policy.

The Russell Memorial Library Board of Trustees are elected at Town Meeting for three-year terms. There is currently a vacancy for the 2025-2028 term. The appointment will be until the 2027 Town Meeting.  The Board of Trustees meet the third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm.

If you are interested or would like additional information regarding these positions please contact Stan Wilbur, Town Administrator at [email protected].

Just a notice to residents that there are wood chips available at the Park & Ride next to Monkton Central School. There are also limited loads of additional chips available by truckload pending availability. Please email [email protected] or call (802) 453-3263 for more information.

Residents are not permitted to take wood left from projects conducted by the Highway Department without permission. Wood from projects is always offered first to the landowner (who has right of first refusal) and then offered to the Monkton Wood Bank before being available to others by contacting the Highway Department at [email protected] or by phone at (802) 453-3263.
