Thank you, Deb. _____ From: Vermont Municipal Government Discussion Network [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Deb Markowitz Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 11:32 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Questions Hi all. It will be up to the new clerk to decide whether or not to change the vault combination. On the issue of incompatibility of offices, a selectboard member may be a second constable. The reason the selectboard member cannot serve as a first constable is because in the event that you do not elect a delinquent tax collector the constable serves in this role -- and the offices of selectboard and tax collector are incompatible.

Since I am retiring in March (I will stay as the new clerk's assistant) should the combination of the vault be changed? 2. On the issue of incompatibility of offices, the 1st Constable cannot also be a selectman; how about 2nd constable? We have a guy running for both. Thank you, Kathy Bergen Wells Town Clerk/Treasurer for one more month! Yeah!
