An Act establishing the term of office for the town manager of the town of Bridgewater

This bill proposes to amend the town charter of Bridgewater to establish a three-year term for the town manager, which can be renewed for additional three-year periods by a majority vote of the town council. It sets specific qualifications for the role, requiring proven administrative ability, relevant experience, and full-time dedication, while also clarifying that the manager need not be a local resident but must be a U.S. citizen. The legislation includes rules restricting the manager from holding other town offices or engaging in outside business without prior council approval. The changes will only take effect if approved by a majority of the voters in Bridgewater.
