Bill > S25

This bill amends the charter of the town of Sandwich to change how the town clerk position is selected and managed. Specifically, the bill eliminates the current provision for an elected town clerk and replaces it with an appointed town clerk position. The bill provides that the current elected town clerk will be automatically converted to an appointed town clerk and will serve for the remainder of their original elected term, unless they resign, retire, or are removed. After this initial transition, future town clerks will be appointed as department heads using the same process as other department head appointments. The bill removes language referring to the town clerk as an elected position and modifies the town charter to reflect this change in selection method. The legislation will take effect immediately upon passage, effectively transforming the town clerk role from an elected to an appointed position in the town of Sandwich.
