Bill > H3959

This bill amends the charter of the city of Easthampton. The key provisions include: 1. Appointments made by the mayor will become effective 45 days after the city council receives notice of the proposed appointment, unless the council votes to reject the appointment within that 45-day period or affirms the appointment sooner. 2. For the appointment of a department head by the mayor, the council must act on the appointment at the next regularly scheduled meeting after receiving it, or else the appointment will become effective. 3. The bill outlines the process for filling a vacancy in the office of mayor, including when a special election is required and when the city council president or another councilor will serve as acting mayor until the next regular municipal election.
