§ 4. Conduct
(a) The Moderator shall preside at all Town meetings, but in the Moderator’s absence, the Town Clerk shall call the meeting to order, and the first order of business shall be the election of a Moderator Pro Tempore to preside for the duration of the meeting. The Moderator shall conduct every meeting according to this charter, the laws of Vermont, and Robert’s Rules of Order, revised, when not in conflict with this charter or the laws of Vermont. He or she shall preserve order in the conduct of the business of the meeting and in all things preserve the principles of fairness and openness in Town government.
(b) The Town Clerk shall be the presiding official at all Town elections and shall cooperate with the Board of Civil Authority to assure that all laws relating to elections are faithfully observed. While the polls are open, the Town Clerk may rule on all questions concerning the conduct of the election and shall not be disqualified from performing any such duties by reason of his or her own candidacy for any office. In the Town Clerk’s absence, an Assistant Town Clerk who is a registered voter of the Town shall preside. If neither the Town Clerk or an Assistant Clerk who is a registered voter of the Town is available, the members of the Board of Civil Authority who are present shall designate a registered voter of the Town to perform the Town Clerk’s duties under this section.
