[Adopted as Art. 2A of the Town Bylaws]
Unless otherwise required by statute, no person shall serve
as a voting member of any appointed or elected board, commission,
committee, or other appointed or elected governmental body of the
Town of Sharon who is not a resident thereof. The Select Board may
waive this requirement in a specific case. If a member is no longer
a resident of the Town, that individual shall be deemed to have vacated
the position. Nonresidency may be indicated by removal from the voter
list, by a census update or by other means. Nonvoting members, if
any, shall not be considered in determining the presence of a quorum
and are not to be affected by this article.
This article shall apply to any board, committee, commission
or other body of the Town, however named or constituted, which is
composed of two or more members and has been or is established pursuant
to statute, these bylaws, vote of the Town Meeting or vote of the
Select Board.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
A board any of the members of which are appointed by an appointing
authority.
Any board the members of which are elected by the voters
of the Town at a Town election.
