(b) Except when changed by the provisions of this charter, all provisions of the statutes of the State of Vermont relating to municipalities shall apply to the Town of East Montpelier.

(1) to help the Selectboard more effectively exercise its ultimate responsibility for Town affairs;

(2) to solve problems that the Town currently has, has had in the past, or might have in the future;
