Notwithstanding section 1, the incumbent holding the office of town treasurer of the Town of Hadley on the effective date of this act shall continue to hold such office and to perform the duties thereof until the expiration of the term for which he or she was elected, unless he or she sooner vacates such office. After the term of the incumbent town treasurer holding such office on the effective date of this act has expired, or is sooner vacated, the Select Board shall appoint a treasurer in the manner set forth in section 1 of this act. In the event an incumbent town treasurer vacates his or her position prior to the expiration of his or her term of office, an interim town treasurer shall be appointed to serve.
