Commissioner Macht commented that Acting County Attorney Terrence P. O'Brien's <br />memorandum gave the information concerning the membership of the Public Library <br />AdvisoryBoard. There is no problem with the individuals who are serving on that board and <br />no change is advocated. He would, however, like to revert back to the original status where <br />there were 2 at -large members, with each Commissioner having one appointment. He <br />pointed out that Frank Coffey and George Gross have gotten together, with concurrence of <br />the staff, and produced a rather remarkable document containing recommendations for the <br />expansion of the Library. It is a comprehensive document that took a lot of work and, of - <br />course, that is an expression of interest. He has begun to circulate the report and hoped the <br />Commissioners will read it. He wanted to appoint either Mr. Gross or Mr. Coffey as his <br />designee to the advisory board, but not both which would create a Sunshine Law problem <br />(so they can continue to work together). He also felt that Commissioner Stanbridge should <br />have an appointment. If the Commissioners agreed, he would appreciate having the others <br />remain on the advisory board. <br />Vice Chairman Ginn wanted to see Mr. Coffey as a member; he has shown a lot of <br />interest and done a lot of work and is not on any other committee. <br />Commissioner Macht had inquired whether Mr. Coffey would be interested and he <br />had said "yes." <br />Discussion ensued as to how the adjustments should be made to the advisory board <br />to make it follow the creating resolution. There was CONSENSUS to allow the current <br />members to remain and to add Mr. Coffey. Attorney O'Brien suggested he prepare a <br />resolution to add two at -large members and the Commissioners directed him to do that. <br />February 15, 2000 <br />78 <br />
