An Act relative to the department of public works in the town of Southborough
This bill reorganizes the town of Southborough's public services by creating a new Department of Public Works under the Select Board's jurisdiction. It consolidates the functions of the existing highway, cemetery, and water departments into this single new entity, while abolishing the separate boards that previously managed water and cemetery affairs. The legislation establishes a three-year term for a Superintendent of Public Works who will oversee department operations and hire staff, and it also creates a position for a tree warden. All existing contracts and liabilities from the abolished departments will transfer to the new department, which will assume full responsibility for their duties.
