The Select Board shall annually appoint a Town
Engineer at a fixed salary, who shall have authority to appoint such
assistants as the Town engineering work requires, subject as to number
and compensation only to the approval of the Select Board. The Town
Engineer shall have charge of all Town engineering, and no person
connected with the Engineering Department shall engage in engineering
work except for the Town of Marblehead, without prior permission in
writing in each instance of the Select Board. The Town Engineer shall
have charge of, and shall preserve, arrange and index, so as to be
readily accessible to the public, all plans, surveys, field notes,
records, documents, and inventories connected with the Engineering
Department of the Town. The Town Engineer shall keep an accurate set
of books showing in detail the cost of the Engineer's department and
of all work done under the Engineer's direction, all materials purchased
and of whom, and all vouchers, orders, and letters received and sent.
The Town Engineer shall each year submit to the Select Board, in time
for publication in the Annual Town Report, a statement showing in
detail the work of the Engineering Department for the year, the names
of all persons employed and a complete inventory of all Town property
in that Department. The Select Board shall have the power at any time
to remove the Town Engineer.
