Makes a clarifying change to the introductory language of Section 3 of the act.

Deletes the previous revisions to Section 4 of the Charter of the Town of East Bend (Charter), and amends Section 4 of the Charter, as amended, to now provide the following.

Establishes that, beginning in 2018, at the municipal election, a mayor is to be elected for a two-year term. Provides that the Mayor whose term expires in 2017 is to continue to serve until 2018, and that, in 2018 and biennially thereafter, a Mayor is to be elected for a two-year term.

Deletes the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) of Section 4 of the Charter, which created staggered two- and four-year terms for the board of commissioners in the 1985 municipal election and odd-numbered years thereafter. Replaces those provisions to establish that the town board of commissioners is to consist of five members. Provides that the three Board members whose terms expire in 2017 are to continue to serve until 2018, and the two Board members whose terms expire in 2019 are to continue to serve until 2020. Establishes that, in 2018 and quadrennially thereafter, three Board members are to be elected to four-year terms, and in 2020 and quadrennially thereafter, two Board members are to be elected to four-year terms.
