§ 153-202. Powers of the town

(a) The town shall have all of the powers granted to towns and municipal corporations by the constitution and laws of this state. It may enact ordinances, bylaws and regulations not inconsistent with the Constitution of Vermont or with this charter, and impose penalties for the violation thereof.

(b) The town may acquire real property within or without its corporate limits for any town purpose, in fee simple or lesser interest or estate, by purchase, gift, devise or lease, and may sell, lease, mortgage, hold, manage and control such real property as its interests may require. The town may further acquire property within its corporate limits by condemnation where such authority is granted to towns by the statutes of the State of Vermont. The vote of the town shall be required for purchase or sale of any real property, except that purchase, lease or sale of real property or any right or interest therein may be approved by the Selectboard from authorized conservation funds for conservation purposes consistent with 10 V.S.A. chapter 155 after following the ordinance procedures set forth in section 204 of this charter. A petition for rescission under this subsection must be filed within ten (10) days of final passage.

(c) In this charter no mention of a particular power shall be construed to be exclusive or to restrict the scope of the powers which the town would have if the particular power were not mentioned.
