Committee approves charter update to create town administrator position for Monterey
Summary
House Bill 2668 would modernize Monterey's charter by adding a town administrator to manage day-to-day operations while elected officials set policy; the committee advanced the bill, 20–0.
Representative Crawford presented House Bill 2668, a private act for the town of Monterey that updates outdated charter language and adds a town administrator position to manage daily operations while elected officials set policy.
"It cleans up some of the outdated language in the charter and adds a new position called the town administrator who will act as the manager for the town," Representative Crawford said, describing a shift toward a manager-style government where staff handle operations and elected officials set policy.
There were no amendments and members did not raise substantive questions; the committee voted to advance the bill to calendar and rules, with a recorded vote of 20 ayes and 0 noes.
The town will move toward a managed government model if the act is finalized in later legislative steps.
