The Selectboard is at the center of town government in Vermont, and Sharon is no exception. Sharon's three-member Selectboard is elected by the voters at Town Meeting for staggered terms of three years. Selectboard members are Paul Haskell, Chair; Brad Atwood, Vice-Chair; and John Harrington, Clerk. The Administrative Assistant is Miriam Rubin.

The Selectboard is responsible for the general supervision of town affairs. It has a number of functions, including: legislative (enacts local ordinances, regulations and policies), and administrative (prepares the budget, oversees all town expenditures, supervises town employees and controls town buildings and property). It also does work that is quasi-judicial--for example, it determines private rights when the town is laying out and reclassifying town highways.

Citizens are always welcome to attend Selectboard meetings and join in the discussion. The agenda is posted in advance of all meetings at the Town Hall, the Sharon Trading Post and Midway Station stores, the Sharon Post Office, and Dixie's Restaurant, or you can request one from the Selectboard Assistant by email or telephone: 763-8268 ext 4.

Selectboard meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month at 6:30pm at the Sharon Municipal Office, 69 Route 132. The public is always welcome, and a public comment period is included at the beginning of every meeting. To get a particular issue on the agenda, please contact the Selectboard Administrative Assistant at 763-8268 ext 4.
