An Act amending the charter of the city of Greenfield
This bill amends Greenfield's city charter to clarify key administrative procedures. It changes the appointment process so unrejected council appointments automatically take effect after 30 days (previously 35 days), streamlines acting mayor rules for short absences under 15 business days, and sets fixed deadlines for budget submissions (April 22) and council adoption (June 30), with automatic approval if the council misses the deadline. It also requires the mayor to submit a detailed capital improvement plan by March 1 annually and restricts police/fire commission members from having family members employed in those departments within 36 months of retirement. These changes directly affect city council members, the mayor, and the police/fire commission.
