• • The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion carried unanimously. B.C.I. COMMISSIONERMACHT -PUBLIC LIBRARYADVISORY BOARD The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 8, 2000: TO: Commissioner Macht, Chairman Public Library Advisory Board FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien, Assistant County Attorney- G"' DATE: February 8, 2000 SUBJECT. Public library Advisory Board The subject Board was established by Resolution 86-104 which provided that the Board would consist of seven members, with five district members and two at large members. It appears that over the years this format may not have been followed. As I understand it, then Commissioner Eggert, Chairman of the Public library Advisory Board, on her own motion filled vacancies without regard to the original provisions. This resulted in the appointments made inconsistent with the original provisions of the resolution. The current Board is composed as follows: Name Commissioners District Commissioner Macht Commissioner Macht Jean Versteeg Commissioner Tippin Kathleen Bishop Commissioner Adams Donna Green Commissioner Tippin Margaret ieIAPMN;4K!� Commissioner Adams Phillip Mank, Jr. Commissioner Tippin Arnold Grobman Commissioner Ginn The breakdown is three members in Commissioner Tippin's district, two members in Commissioner Adams' district, one member in Commissioner Ginn's district and one member in Commissioner Macht's district. It would appear that the easiest method of putting the Board back to its intended composition would be to set aside all appointments. Have each Commissioner appoint one person to the Board and then have the full Commission vote on the two at large members. It is suggested that each district representative's term be concurrent with the term of the appointing Commissioner and the at large members be appointed for four years. February 15, 2000 77
