The bill titled "An Act relative to the town charter of the town of Plainville" seeks to amend Section C-6-3 of the Town Charter concerning the annual budget process. The proposed amendment includes a new requirement for the select board to issue a policy statement that establishes general guidelines for the upcoming town budget. This statement will be developed in consultation with the town administrator, finance director, and finance committee chair.

The amendment also modifies the language regarding the directive to department heads. The current language, which instructs department heads to prepare budget requests, will be replaced with a more specific written directive that outlines overarching principles and priorities to guide the budget preparation for the next fiscal year. This change aims to enhance clarity and direction in the budget process for the town of Plainville.
