Mosquito Library prepares for new director; administrative assistant posting planned
Summary
Board members confirmed that Kelsey has cleared HR hurdles and will start in mid‑August; Michelle will leave to join the city as deputy treasurer with an Aug. 2 last day, and staff proposed posting the administrative assistant role for a short, managed hiring window so the new director can participate.
The Mosquito Library Board on July 15 heard staffing updates: the board was told an incoming library director, Kelsey, has cleared human‑resources steps and is expected to begin in mid‑August, and that current library staff member Michelle will leave to join the city as deputy treasurer with an anticipated last day of Aug. 2.
Staff said they plan to publish and close an administrative‑assistant vacancy in a short window so the new director can participate in final interviews and selection. The approach follows a previous director transition when the outgoing director approved a hiring plan and the position was closed after the new director started.
Board members and staff discussed timing and minimizing the gap between departures and arrival; staff said they sent the job description and asked Kelsey for advice on timing. The board did not take a formal vote on the hiring plan at the July meeting but directed staff to proceed with the planned posting and to coordinate onboarding.
Less critical details: staff praised Michelle’s work and congratulated her new city role; the board said the incoming director will likely attend the August 19 board meeting at City Hall.
