The last step to transform Framingham from a town to a city happened Tuesday with a switch from bylaws to ordinances. (Samantha Mercado/Patch)
FRAMINGHAM, MA Framingham took the final step to becoming a city on Tuesday night.
The City Council approved the conversion of the old town bylaws into ordinances a massive undertaking that meant figuring out how to distribute the duties of the old Board of Selectmen to the mayor, City Council and various city board and commissions.
The transfer has taken place over the three years following the 2017 referendum to become a city. The Council Ordinance and Rules Subcommittee headed by Chair District 8 Councilor John Stefanini, Vice Chair District 9 Councilor Tracey Bryant and District 6 Councilor Philip Ottaviani has been working since the spring on the final conversion.
