Select Board

The Plainfield Select Board regular meetings are on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at the Town Office at 149 Main Street. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Select Board meetings are currently being held remotely on Zoom, (see agendas below for information on how to participate). Select Board meetings are governed by the Plainfield Select Board Rules of Procedure and 1 V.S.A. § 312. Contact Select Board chair Sasha Thayer to request inclusion on the agenda. Videos of Select Board meetings are also available on this website for your convenience.

The Select Board is the legislative body for the town. Our responsibilities include enacting ordinances, regulations, and policies; overseeing town property and personnel; as well as preparing and presenting the annual budget to the town's voters during Town Meeting. The Select Board, with the Town Health Officer, also sits as the Board of Health. Additional responsibilities for members of the Select Board include serving on the town Board of Civil Authority (relating to elections), serving on the town Board of Abatement (relating to tax abatement), and holding hearings on complaints brought under Plainfield's Animal Control Ordinance.
