PROCEDURE FOR FILLING POSITIONS OF TOWN EMPLOYMENT - POLICY 08-01
In accordance with the Wareham Home Rule Charter (7-8, 4-2, 6-5) and with general hiring principles, the following will be the established procedure for filling positions that become available within Wareham’s Town Government.
Whenever a vacancy occurs, or is about to occur in any town office…or town employment, except for positions covered under the state civil service law or otherwise provided for under a collective bargaining agreement, the appointing authority shall, forthwith, cause public notice of such vacancy, or impending vacancy, to be posted on the town bulleting board….[7-8]
The appointing authority shall also cause the vacancy, or impending vacancy, to be advertised in a local newspaper of general circulation within the town. It is the responsibility of the appointing authority to receive quotes to determine where the advertisement is to be placed. The advertisement need not appear in more than one edition.
If the position is a department head or other salaried position, the appointing authority shall also cause the vacancy (or impending vacancy) to be advertised in a trade magazine and or trade website (such as the MMA.org). The vacancy shall be advertised for at least ten days.
Any person who desires to be considered for appointment to the said office or employment may, within ten days following the date notice was posted, file with the appointing authority, a statement setting forth in clear and specific terms his qualifications for the office or employment. [7-8] If there is a discrepancy between the posting date and advertising date, the latter date shall be used in order to give the applicants the greater opportunity to apply.
No permanent appointment to fill a vacancy in a town office or town employment shall be effective until at least fourteen (14) days have elapsed following such posting or advertising (the latter of the two) and until all persons who have filed statements shall have been considered. [7-8]
Appointments made by the town administrator shall become effective on the fifteenth day following the day on which notice of the appointment is filed with the board of selectmen, unless the board shall within said period, by a majority of the full board, vote to reject any such appointment, or sooner to affirm it.[4-2(b)] Notice is considered given to the board of selectmen when a written statement is delivered to and stamped in as received by the selectmen’s office for each selectman.
The notice shall include the name of the person to which the offer of employment was made and accepted by, the proposed contract specifics such as the title of the position, the wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment. All such contracts proposed by the town administrator shall be subject to final approval and execution by the board of selectmen [4-2(n)].
All appointments and promotions in the town service shall be solely made on the basis of merit and fitness demonstrated by examination or other evidence of competence and suitability to perform the duties of the office or the employment. [6-5] No town employee shall receive additional consideration for a position by virtue of their employment with the town.

Section 6 - 2 By-Laws
Subject only to express prohibition in a general law, or this charter, the town meeting may, by by-law, reorganize, consolidate, abolish, create, merge, divide, alter the term of office, the manner of selection, or, if a multiple member body, the number of members, of any town agency, in whole or in part; establish such new town agencies as it deems necessary or advisable, and may prescribe the functions, powers, duties and responsibilities of any such town agency, but excluding from this section any town agency described in article 2 or 3 of the charter.
Section 6 - 3 Administrative Code
The Town Administrator, after consultation with the Board of Selectmen, may prepare and submit to the town meeting plans for organization or reorganization, which establish town agencies for the orderly or convenient conduct of the business of the town. Whenever the town administrator prepares such a plan he shall, in conjunction with the board of selectmen, hold one or more public hearings on the proposal, giving notice by publication in a local newspaper, not less than seven nor more than fourteen days before the date the hearing is scheduled, which notice shall describe the scope of the proposal and the time and place of the public hearing. A reorganization proposal may be amended or altered prior to its submission, by the Board of Selectmen, to the next town meeting held following the public hearing.

Wareham's last board of selectmen told the Plymouth County District Attorney to go screw himself, and to all appearances, he did.
We're on our own here, Menrva. We either make a determined effort to attend BOS meetings, expecting personal insults for our trouble, and publicly demand answers. Or eat this shit sandwich and smile.
Question is, are you angry enough yet?
I urge everyone to save html copies of this page. I'm surprised it's survived this long.
