Bill Summary

For legislation to amend the charter of the city of Somerville. Municipalities and Regional Government. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill amends the charter of the city of Somerville by replacing references to the "board of aldermen" with "city council" and references to "aldermen" with "councilors" throughout the charter. This change aligns the terminology used in the charter with the current local government structure, where the legislative body is known as the city council rather than the board of aldermen.
