House Bill 2668 proposes amendments to Chapter 492 of the Acts of 1901, specifically concerning the governance of the town of Monterey. The bill includes several deletions, such as the removal of the third sentence in Section 3, the fifth sentence of the second paragraph in Section 4, and the phrase "in case the Mayor declines to serve as Recorder" from Section 5. Additionally, it establishes a new Section 18, which creates the Office of Town Administrator. This section outlines the responsibilities of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen in selecting and appointing the Administrator, who must meet specific qualifications, including an associate's degree and CMFO certification.

The Town Administrator will oversee various town departments, serve as the chief financial officer, and coordinate activities in line with the Board's policies. The Administrator is also tasked with preparing budgets, managing personnel structures, and improving public services. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the Administrator must reside in Putnam County within six months of employment and provides for the requirement of a corporate surety bond. The act will take effect upon a two-thirds vote of the town's legislative body, with certain provisions becoming effective immediately for public welfare purposes.
