An Act amending the board of works in the town of Lee

This bill reorganizes the town of Lee's public works administration by replacing its existing water and sewer commissioners and cemetery board with a new five-member Board of Public Works. The new board, appointed by the town's select board, will assume all current powers and duties of the abolished entities while operating under the select board's control. Key provisions include establishing a superintendent of public works who reports to the new board, ensuring that all current employees are transferred without loss of benefits, and setting rules for hiring and reporting on infrastructure projects.
