Jurisdiction over other officers or employees Neither the Selectboard nor any of its members shall direct or request the appointment by another officer or employee of the Town of any person to office or employment, or any person’s suspension or removal therefrom, or in any manner take part in the appointment, discipline, or removal of subordinates and employees of the Town except as otherwise provided in this charter. The Selectboard and its members shall deal with that portion of the service of the Town for which the Town Manager is responsible solely through the Town Manager, and neither the Selectboard nor any of its members shall give any orders to or request any action by any subordinate in office. This shall not prohibit the Selectboard from recommending to the Town Manager a prospective employee for the Town Manager’s consideration. (Amended 2015, No. M-1, § 2, eff. Jan. 27, 2015.)
