Town Meeting, article 15, disability commission. Misinformation again and against recommendation from DOR in Templeton financial management review. The article, in part states: .

Said commission shall consist of 5 members which shall be appointed by the Select Board. A majority of said commission members shall consist of people with disabilities, one member shall be a member of the immediate family of a person with a disability and one member of said commission shall be a current Select Board member.

The law states, in part, A majority of said commission members shall consist of people with disabilities, one member shall be a member of the immediate family of a person with a disability and one member of said commission shall be either an elected or appointed official of that city or town.

from DOR review: Prohibit Elected Officials from Holding any Other Position.

Templeton has not drafted a standalone bylaw prohibiting elected officials from holding any other elected or appointed town positions.

Currently, select board members can and do hold appointed positions within the town.
