Oakland - Subject to local approval, transfers authority to appoint and remove all directors and department heads, excluding the town recorder, from the board of mayor and aldermen to the town manager. - Amends Chapter 167 of the Private Acts of 1994; as amended.

Summary

The bill changes Oakland’s charter so the Town Manager, not the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, can hire, fire, and discipline department heads and directors, except for the Town Recorder. The Board still appoints the Town Manager and the Recorder, and the change only takes effect if two‑thirds of the town’s legislative body approve it. This shifts day‑to‑day personnel control to the chief administrative officer.
