An Act removing the Treasurer as Acting Mayor in the Holyoke Charter

Summary

The bill rewrites the city’s succession plan so that, if the mayor is unable to serve, the mayor may name the city clerk to act as mayor, or the clerk assumes the role automatically. If the clerk cannot serve, the city council president steps in. The acting official has most mayoral powers but cannot remove officials, make appointments, or approve ordinances without council oversight and time restrictions.
