This bill amends the home rule charter of the city of Everett, Massachusetts. The key provisions include: 1. Prohibiting city council members from holding appointed school department offices or employment, unless the position was held 120 days prior to running for city council. It also extends the time period for resigning from other city offices or employment from 30 days to 90 days before running for city council. 2. Prohibiting school committee members from holding appointed city offices or employment, unless the position was held 120 days prior to running for the school committee. It also extends the time period for resigning from other city offices or employment from 30 days to 90 days before running for the school committee. 3. Prohibiting city council members and school committee members from collecting compensation for serving as a "special municipal employee" under state ethics laws if they already hold another compensated city position. The bill aims to address potential conflicts of interest and ensure separation of powers between the city council, school committee, and other city offices.
