An act relating to the approval of the amendment to the charter of the Town of Middlebury
This bill approves an amendment to the Town of Middlebury's charter that changes how the Town Treasurer is selected. Previously, the Treasurer was an elected position, but the amendment shifts this role to an appointment made by the Selectboard. The change takes effect immediately upon the bill's passage, with any current elected Treasurer's term ending by March 7, 2024, when the Selectboard appoints a successor. This adjustment aligns with a proposal that Middlebury voters approved in March 2023.
