§ 2601. Generally A fire district may vote to adopt the town manager system in compliance with 24 V.S.A. chapter 37

• . It may vote a tax upon the taxable estate for the protection of property
  in the district from damage by fire; for the acquisition, construction, and maintenance
  of sewers and sewage treatment works; sidewalks; public parks; water works, water
  companies, and equipment and real estate used in connection therewith, including reservoirs
  and dams; for lighting; and for other lawful purposes. The prudential committee and
  collector shall have the same power in assessing, levying, and collecting the tax,
  as town officers have in assessing and collecting town taxes, including the collection
  of interest on overdue taxes. The prudential committee may expend such sums for acquiring,
  constructing, and maintaining sewers and sewage treatment works; sidewalks; public
  parks; water works, water companies, and all equipment and real estate used in connection
  therewith, including reservoirs and dams; and for lighting purposes as the fire district
  may vote. The committee may use and occupy such portions of the highways within the
  district as may be necessary for constructing and maintaining sewers and sewage treatment
  works; sidewalks; public parks; water works and mains, and for lighting purposes. (Amended 1969, No. 223 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. March 31, 1970; 1981, No. 133 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. April 2, 1982.)
