Bill > H4383

This bill proposes to modify the town charter of Plainville by amending Section C-3-2 (a) regarding the Select Board's membership and eligibility rules. Specifically, the bill seeks to clarify and streamline restrictions on Select Board members' service in other municipal roles. The proposed changes would maintain the existing prohibition against Select Board members simultaneously serving as town employees and being ineligible for other elected positions established by the charter or by-laws. The bill also removes redundant language about board members' eligibility to serve on multi-member bodies, while preserving the principle that Select Board members can serve on such bodies only when they are specifically designated to represent the Select Board. These modifications appear intended to simplify the town charter's language and provide clearer guidelines for Select Board membership without substantially changing the underlying governance structure.
