Selectboard

 MAIN TASK: the Selectboard is at the center of town government in Barnard. The Selectboard is responsible for the general supervision of town affairs and 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. The Selectboard take an oath to serve the residents of Barnard.
