Oakland - Subject to local approval, transfers authority to appoint and remove all directors and department heads, excluding the town recorder, from the board of mayor and aldermen to the town manager. - Amends Chapter 167 of the Private Acts of 1994; as amended.

This bill proposes to shift hiring and firing authority for most town officials in Oakland from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to the Town Manager, while the board would retain control over appointing and removing the Town Recorder. Under the new rules, the Town Manager would gain the power to hire and fire all directors and department heads, prepare budgets, submit monthly financial reports, and ensure laws are enforced, but would not have voting rights on the board. The change requires a two-thirds vote by Oakland's legislative body to take effect, making it a local decision rather than an automatic state mandate. This restructuring aims to centralize administrative control under a single chief executive while maintaining oversight through the elected board.
