The Monkton Town Hall will remain open but in order to protect the health and well-being of the Town employees, we would like your help in limiting the number of people visiting Town Hall.  If your business can be done by phone or email we would be happy to help.  The Town Clerk, Treasurer, Listers and Zoning Administrator can do simple research and scan documents to your office and residence.  Normal Town Clerk rates and charges will still apply.  If you do need to come to Town Hall, visitors will be restricted to the main meeting room and reference documents will be brought out from the vault.  Please make sure to thoroughly wash your hands upon entering Town Hall and please don’t come if you are sick or feeling ill.

Regarding the Governor’s announcement ordering Vermont schools to close no later than this Wednesday until April 6th. No specifics yet about details of the closure for Mount Abraham Unified School District schools. The Administrative team is meeting later today, I’m sure more specific details will be forthcoming. The Superintendent has been meeting all weekend with State officials and other Superintendents. Any updates specific to the MAUSD schools closing will be posted as soon as we have them.

Several residents have reached out to ask how they can help.  We have created an electronic volunteer sign up sheet that can be used to connect those in need with volunteers willing to help.  The situation is very fluid and changes every day but social distancing is only about person to person interactions and not how we operate as a community. Volunteer Sign Up Sheet is here.

Results of the 2020 Town Meeting Elections

TOWN RESULT LIST

There are a number of errors in the Town Report:

1. Page 53 is a duplicate of Page 52.  The correct Page 53 is here.  We will bring copies of the correct Page 53 to Town Meeting.
2. On Page 25, in the Selectboard Report, it was stated that the legal issues surrounding the safety of the Vermont Gas transmission line have been resolved.  In fact, while the report of the investigation has been issued, there are ongoing legal proceedings.
3. On Page 98, in the Municipal Building Committee Report, the first payment in 2021 will be $120,450 not $117,970.  This would result in a tax increase of $121 on an assessed value of $260,000.
