Sec. 7-99. Duties. Bond. The town manager shall exercise the powers and perform
the duties in and for such town which are conferred and imposed by law upon selectmen,
except such duties as relate to the making of electors. Such manager shall be limited as
to expenditures made and liabilities incurred during the fiscal year to the appropriations
made by the board of finance and approved by such town, except in case of actual
necessity involving the immediate repair of a highway, bridge or sidewalk, and then
such expenditure shall not exceed one thousand dollars. All bills against such town shall
be certified by such manager and approved by the board of finance and, when so certified
and approved, shall be paid by the treasurer of the town upon requisition of such manager.
Such manager shall give such bond as is required by the board of finance, with sufficient
surety, conditioned upon the faithful discharge of his duties. The premium upon such
bond shall be paid by the town. On or before the first day of September in each year,
such manager shall file, with the board of finance, an itemized statement of his disbursements and receipts during the preceding fiscal year, with his vouchers therefor and
an estimate of disbursements and receipts for the ensuing year. Such account shall be
approved by the board of finance and filed with the town treasurer, who shall incorporate
the same in his annual report.
