AI Summary
This bill amends the existing charter of the town of Hopkinton to modify the appointment process for the Library Director. Specifically, the bill replaces the previous language regarding the Library Director with a new provision that explicitly grants the Board of Library Trustees the power to appoint a Library Director in accordance with the town's Personnel Policies. Additionally, the bill requires the Board of Library Trustees to set annual goals for the Library Director, and mandates that these goals be developed with input from the Town Manager. This change clarifies and formalizes the appointment and performance management process for the Library Director, ensuring a collaborative approach between the library trustees and town management while maintaining local control over library leadership.
