[Adopted 5-7-2012 ATM by Art. 10 (5-5-2008 ATM by Art. 9; Section 1.0, 1.1.6, of the
Town Bylaws)]
[Amended 5-3-2021 ATM by Art. 10]
In the event an individual holding an elected office in the
Town ceases to be a resident of the Town of Bolton, the individual
may remain in the elected office as a holdover until the Select Board,
in a written document signed by the members of the Select Board, in
a written document signed by a majority of the members and filed with
the Town Clerk's office, appoints a temporary officer to hold the
vacated office until another individual is duly elected or appointed
and qualifies under the law. In no case shall an individual remain
as a holdover in elected office for more than 90 days. This section
shall not apply to any member of the Select Board.
Within 10 days after his/her appointment, any temporary officer
must be sworn in and shall post bond, if required, for the faithful
performance of his/her duties. Failure to do so will result in a rescission
of the appointment.
