§ 5. Appointed officers

• (a) In addition to all other offices that may be filled by appointment by the Selectboard,
  pursuant to State law, or this charter, the Selectboard shall appoint the following
  Town officers, who shall serve for such terms as the Selectboard may establish in
  its act of appointment or until the office otherwise becomes vacant: (1) a Town Treasurer who shall not simultaneously hold any elective office within Town
  government; (2) a Delinquent Tax Collector; (3) three Town listers. (b) The Selectboard shall adopt, and revise from time to time, a general statement of
  the qualifications and job descriptions necessary to perform the duties and responsibilities
  of each of the appointed Town offices. The Selectboard shall appoint the candidate
  who, in its judgment, best meets the qualifications for each office, giving due consideration
  to individuals who have expressed a commitment to serving the best interests of the
  Town. Appointed officers shall exercise all the powers and duties necessary to carry
  out the provisions of this charter as well as those provided by State law generally. (c) The Selectboard may adopt a job description for the position of Town Administrator
  and may appoint a Town Administrator, who shall not simultaneously hold an elective
  office within the Town. (d) The Selectboard shall advertise notice of a vacancy in any appointed Town office,
  which shall include posting in the office of the Town Clerk and in two or more public
  places within the Town and publication in a newspaper of general circulation. The
  notice shall also include a description of the qualifications necessary to be considered
  for appointment. (e) All appointed officers shall be employees of the Town of Jericho, subject to all personnel
  and employment rules, regulations, and policies of the Town. Any appointed official
  is eligible to apply for reappointment at the expiration of his or her term of office,
  but failure by the Selectboard to make such reappointment shall not be construed as
  discharge from employment. (Added 2005, No. M-9 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. Feb. 24, 2005.)
