Bill > H4347

This bill modifies the terms of office for library trustees in the town of Williamstown, Massachusetts, creating a special provision to stagger the terms of four library trustee positions that are scheduled for election in 2028. Specifically, the select board will choose one of these four terms to be reelected for a one-time two-year term, with the goal of aligning this term with another single trustee term up for election in 2030. After this one-time adjustment, the trustee terms will return to the standard three-year election cycle. The bill overrides any existing general laws, special laws, or town charter provisions that might conflict with this term adjustment. The legislation will take effect immediately upon its passage, providing the town with a mechanism to create a more balanced and consistent trustee election schedule.
