Town of Shoreham
GOVERNMENT

The Town of Shoreham is governed by a five-member Selectboard, which has general supervision and control over the affairs of the town. The Selectboard performs three functions: legislative (enacts local ordinances, regulations, and policies); administrative (prepares and presents the budget, oversees all town expenditures, supervises personnel, and controls town buildings and property); and quasi-judicial (determines rights in such areas as laying out, discontinuing, and reclassifying highways, and hearing appeals as the local board of health and as the local liquor control commission).

There are about 68 elected and appointed officers in Shoreham. Most slots must be filled by law. Some positions require a lot of time and energy, and some act only infrequently. Most are unpaid. Residents are encouraged to run for any position. Being a town officer is a great way to meet neighbors and to contribute and participate in our Town. Elections are held each year at Town Meeting, the first Tuesday of March. Candidates must get a petition from the Town Clerk early in the year and submit it by the 6th Monday before Town Meeting (Jan. 29 for '07) to be on the ballot. The Town Clerk (address at bottom of page) can provide information on terms and specifications of offices open in the upcoming election.
