AI Summary
This bill establishes a process for removing certain elected financial officials, such as the treasurer, collector, or member of the board of assessors, from the town of Sherborn. If a financial official demonstrates a pattern of errors, omissions, negligence, or dishonesty, or commits an act that may put the town's financial well-being at great risk, a review committee can be convened to investigate and potentially remove the official from office. The review committee consists of various town leaders, and the official has the right to defend themselves and be represented by counsel. If the review committee votes to remove the official, the official can choose to resign or be removed and have their access to town funds and records revoked.
