An Act relative to the charter of the city known as the town of Randolph
This bill amends Randolph's town charter to allow elected council and school committee members to receive compensation through town ordinances (previously they served without pay). It adds rules requiring 4 council members to object to postpone a vote on a measure, and clarifies that special meetings must provide 48-hour notice listing agenda items. These changes would apply to Randolph's town council and other multiple-member town boards. The amendments require voter approval via a ballot question before taking effect.
