Vermont § 4 - Powers of the Town

§ 4. Powers of the Town

• (a) The Town of Woodford shall have all the powers granted to towns and municipal corporations
  by the Constitution and laws of the State and by this charter, together with all the
  implied powers necessary to carry into execution all the powers granted. The Town
  of Woodford may enact ordinances not inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of
  the State of Vermont or with this charter and may impose penalties for violation thereof. (b) The Town may acquire real property within or without its corporate limits necessary
  or convenient for any lawful purpose, in fee simple or any lesser interest or estate,
  by purchase, gift, devise, lease, or otherwise, consistent with the Constitution and
  laws of the State of Vermont, and may sell, lease, mortgage, hold, manage, and control
  such property as its interest may require consistent with the Constitution and laws
  of the State by vote of a majority of the voters present and voting at a duly warned
  meeting. Once the voters have approved the sale, lease, or mortgage of property of
  the Town of Woodford, the Selectboard shall have the full authority to sign all conveyances
  and legal documents in the name of the Town to complete the transaction. (c) In this charter, no mention of a particular power shall be construed to be exclusive
  or to restrict the scope of powers that the Town would have if the particular powers
  were not mentioned, unless this charter otherwise provides. (Added 2013, No. M-8, § 2, eff. May 23, 2013.)
