All general laws, special laws, City ordinances, City Council
votes, and rules and regulations of or pertaining to the City that
are in force when this Charter takes effect, and not specifically
or by implication repealed hereby, shall continue in full force and
effect until amended or repealed, or rescinded by due course of law,
or until they expire by their own limitation.
All City agencies shall continue to perform their duties until
re-elected, re-appointed, or until successors to their respective
positions are duly appointed or elected, or until their duties have
been transferred and assumed by another City agency.
All records, property and equipment whatsoever of any City agency,
or part thereof, the powers and duties of which are assigned in whole
or in part to another City agency, shall be transferred forthwith
to such agency.
Any person holding a City office, or a position in the administrative
service of the City, or any person holding full-time employment under
the City, shall retain such office, or position, or employment, and
shall continue to perform the duties of such office, position or employment
until provision shall have been made for the performance of those
duties by another person or agency; provided, however, no person in
the permanent full-time service of the City shall forfeit his or her
pay grade, or time in service of the City. All such persons shall
be retained in a capacity as similar to the capacity in which they
were serving at the time this Charter is adopted as is practicable
and any reduction in the personnel needs of the City shall be accomplished
through a policy of attrition, unless specific provision is otherwise
made in this article.
All official bonds, recognizances, obligations, contracts, and
other instruments entered into or executed by or to the City before
the adoption of this Charter, and all taxes, assessments, fines, penalties,
forfeitures, incurred or imposed, due or owing to the City, shall
be enforced and collected; and all writs, prosecutions, actions and
causes of action, except as herein otherwise provided, shall continue
without abatement and remain unaffected by the Charter; and no legal
act done by or in favor of the City shall be rendered invalid by reason
of the adoption of this Charter.
The provisions of this Charter shall take full effect following
the inauguration of the Mayor and the organization of the City government
on the first Monday in January in the year following the year in which
the Charter is adopted, except as is hereinafter provided:
(a)
The provisions of Section 2-8(a) establishing the position of Budget/Management Analyst under the City Council, the provisions of Sections 5-4, 5-5, 5-6, 5-7 and 5-8 providing for the establishment, consolidation and coordination of certain administrative functions, the provisions of Section 6-8 providing for a five-year capital improvement program to be submitted by the Mayor, the provisions of Section 8-4 providing for copies of administrative rules and regulations to be filed in the office of the City Clerk and the provisions of Section 8-10 providing for a certificate of election, or appointment, to be issued to certain City officers shall not become fully effective until the first day of July in the year following the year in which the Charter is adopted.
(b)
It is the intention of the Charter that the procedures for budget preparation and budget review of the annual operating budget for the City, established in Article 6, shall insofar as possible be followed in the year following the year in which the Charter is adopted, recognizing, however, that full conformity might not be possible until the second year following such adoption.
(c)
The members of the School Committee who have been chosen for terms of four years each shall serve for the balance of the terms for which they were elected, but their successors shall be chosen for terms of two years each. If a vacancy shall occur in any such office for a period longer than two years, it shall be filled as though the term to be filled had been for two years. When the terms of office of the two School Committee members at large expire, or otherwise become vacant, such offices shall be deemed abolished and the committee structure shall thereafter be as established in Section 4-1.
(d)
While the Mayor elected at the election at which this Charter is
adopted is not expected to file a capital improvement plan with the
City Council in the first year of the term for which elected, the
said Mayor shall be responsible, forthwith, to set into motion a procedure
and a process for the development of a five-year capital improvement
program which can be submitted in the second year of said term and
thereafter updated from year to year. In order to assist the Mayor
in this process, a special commission shall be established to consist
of four persons chosen by the Mayor and three persons chosen by the
City Council to assist in the development of the initial capital improvement
plan. Persons appointed to such commission by the Mayor, or Council,
may be incumbent City officers or employees or may be other voters,
as may be deemed appropriate.
(e)
All persons currently serving in a City office or position by election
of the City Council, which office under the Charter is to be filled
by some other method, shall continue to serve in such office until
the term for which they were chosen expires and until a successor
to such office is chosen in accordance with the Charter and the powers,
duties and responsibilities transferred or assigned to such other
person.
(f)
The authority of the Mayor to make all appointments as provided in the first paragraph of Section 3-3 shall take effect as the terms of office of incumbent officials expire or vacancies in City positions otherwise occur.
(g)
The authority of the Mayor to remove officers or department heads appointed by the Mayor contained in Section 3-4 shall not become effective until the first Monday in January in the second year following the year in which the Charter is adopted and shall only apply to offices which have been appointed by the Mayor pursuant to the provisions of the first paragraph of Section 3-3.
(i)
The incumbent City Auditor shall serve in such office until the last day of June in the year following the year in which the Charter is adopted, notwithstanding the date on which the term of the incumbent would otherwise expire. The position of City Auditor as it has heretofore existed and functioned shall be abolished as of the first day of July in said year. The powers of the Office of Auditor associated with auditing, including those described in Sections 50, 51, 53 and 54-A of Chapter 41 of the General Laws, shall be retained for the position of Budget/Management Analyst appointed by the City Council. It is the intention of the Charter that the day-to-day responsibilities presently performed by the Auditor, such as those described in Section 52 of said Chapter 41, are to be transferred and assigned to a person in the Department of Municipal Finance established by Section 5-4, who shall be known as the "City Accountant," and who shall have the powers of a town accountant as described in Sections 56, 57 and 58 of said Chapter 41.
(j)
Until such time as the following may be changed by an ordinance adopted
by the City Council which amends, revises or repeals the same, the
following shall have the force of a City ordinance.
(1)
Salary of Budget/Management Analyst. The annual salary of the Budget/Management Analyst appointed by the City Council pursuant to Charter Section 2-8(a) shall initially be established at $25,000 with a proviso that the amount provided for such office shall never be less than 1/2 the amount provided for the Office of Finance Director. The City Council may, in lieu of expending such sum as salary, expend the said sum as a consultant account paying the certified public accountant, or firm of such accountants retained to provide the annual audit pursuant to Section 6-9 from such account to provide periodic oversight services to it throughout the fiscal year.
(2)
Information to be given to newly appointed members of multiple-member
bodies. In order that newly appointed members of multiple-member bodies
might have the opportunity to become acquainted with the type and
variety of matters which are likely to come before the multiple-member
body during the term of appointment, the chair of each multiple-member
body shall, forthwith upon receipt of notice of the appointment of
a new member, provide such member with copies of the minutes of meetings
of the body for the two prior years and copies of all laws, ordinances,
rules or regulations governing or otherwise applicable to the office.
The chair shall, within 30 days following receipt of notice of the
appointment, meet with the new member and provide such orientation
to the duties of the office as may be deemed necessary or desirable.
(k)
Chapter 142 of the Acts of 1936 and Chapter 203 of the Acts of 1938
placing, respectively, the office of Police Chief and the Office of
Fire Chief under the civil service law and rules are hereby repealed,
each repeal to be effective upon the expiration of the period of service
of the incumbents of the respective offices. Nothing in this revocation
of acceptance of the civil service law and rules shall in any way
affect any of the rights, privileges and obligations of either of
said chiefs under the said civil service law and rules. The successors
to said officers shall, however, be appointed and shall hold their
office without regard to the civil service law and rules. It is the
intention of the Charter Commission in making this provision that
every Mayor shall make appointments to these offices on the basis
of merit and fitness alone and that the guiding principle shall always
be to do that which is best for our City.
(l)
Forthwith following the organization of the City government in January of the year following the year in which the Charter is adopted, the Mayor shall appoint seven persons as a committee to review the ordinances of the City for the purpose of preparing suggested revisions to bring the ordinances into conformity with, and to fully implement the provisions of the Charter. At least two such persons shall have been members of the Beverly Charter Commission. The committee shall submit a report and recommendations within one year following its appointment and may submit interim reports at any time throughout the year. The committee shall give special early attention to revisions necessary to implement the organizational structure contained in Article 5 of the Charter.
