Election]
Any person holding an appointive office may
resign their office by filing a resignation with the Town Clerk, and
such resignation shall be effective immediately, unless a time certain
is specified therein when it shall take effect. The Selectboard or
Town Manager, whoever makes the appointment, may under the provisions
of the following section remove at once an appointive Town officer
whose resignation is made to take effect in the future if they see
fit.
The Selectboard, Town Manager, or School Committee
may remove from office any Town officer whose appointment by them
is specifically authorized by this Charter. The reason for such removal
shall be set forth in detail to the Town officer removed and shall
be communicated to them in writing.
Appointed Town officers shall receive such compensation
for their services as the Selectboard, Town Manager, or School Committee,
whoever appointed them, shall determine; but not exceeding the amounts
appropriated for these salaries by the Town, and not inconsistent
with salaries determined by collective bargaining contracts, civil
service regulations, or the General Laws.
