This bill amends the town charter of Plainville, primarily focusing on the role and title of the town's administrative head. The term "town administrator" is replaced with "town manager" throughout the charter, including in sections C-3-1, C-3-2, C-4-1, C-4-2, C-4-3, C-4-4, C-5-2, C-5-4, and C-6-2, among others. Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision stating that members of the select board are ineligible to serve in other elected positions or on multi-member bodies where the select board is the appointing authority, unless they are representing the select board.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a finance committee appointed by the select board chair, finance committee chair, and town moderator, and it allows the select board to appoint up to two associate or alternate members to each multi-member body, excluding the school committee and housing authority. The amendments aim to clarify the governance structure and responsibilities within the town, ensuring that the town manager has the necessary qualifications and experience for the role. The act will take effect upon its passage.
