What positions would the mayor appoint, and what is the appointment procedure?
Response: The Mayor, subject to the approval of Town Council, has the authority to appoint the director/department heads and members of multiple-body boards. The process, which has built in checks and balances to ensure that qualified people are put in place, is as follows: 1. The Town Council can establish by ordinance the salaries and minimum qualifications of all appointments and positions of employment. 2. The Mayor appoints the directors, department heads, members of multiple-body boards, etc., and presents these candidates to the Town Council for approval. 3. The Town Council has the authority to investigate the background of each candidate and interview said candidates. 4. The Town Council, after conducting due diligence, can vote to approve the candidate or, by a two-thirds vote, reject any candidate put forth by the Mayor.
