Bill > S2527

This bill amends the town charter of Wareham, specifically modifying the composition of the Capital Planning Committee. The revised charter establishes a committee of 8 members, with 7 voting members and 1 non-voting member. The voting members will include the Finance Director and Town Administrator (or their designees), who serve by virtue of their offices, along with one member appointed by the Planning Board, one member appointed by the Finance Committee, and three members appointed by an Appointing Authority. The Appointing Authority will be composed of the Town Moderator (who will serve as chair), the chair of the Select Board, and the chair of the Finance Committee. Additionally, the Town Accountant or their designee will serve as a non-voting ex-officio member. The bill allows the Town to establish additional bylaws regarding these appointments, providing flexibility in the committee's structure while ensuring representation from key municipal leadership positions.
