Measure: Amend RTM Rules - Sec. II(B)(4)(b) Filling a Vacancy (item #25)
Passed on 2024-06-10
Amend Rules of the Representative Town Meeting, Section II(B)(4)(b) under Resignation; Filling of Vacancy to update the process for notifying the town clerk of a member's resignation. This removes the provision that a resignation must be accompanied by a "petition therefor, signed by not less than a majority of the RTM members from the district." The amendment aligns the RTM Rules with the current process for notifying the Town Clerk of a vacancy.
