Board to consider amending library bylaws to change appointment language from “may” to “shall”
Summary
Board chair told trustees she will propose an amendment to the board bylaws to change language in the appointment section from “may” to “shall”; the board will discuss and vote on the amendment at a future meeting.
The board chair presented a proposed amendment to the Library Board bylaws that would change the language in Article II, Section 1 (appointment) from “may” to “shall.”
The chair told trustees the original bylaws were completed and signed in April but two of the members who signed have since left the board; she said it was appropriate to re-sign now that the board is more complete. She said the change from “may” to “shall” is intended to make the board’s recommendation language more concrete.
The chair said the amendment will be circulated for review and that the board will consider approval of the amendment at the next month’s meeting; she estimated the process could take two months, including retyping and re-signing the bylaws if the amendment is approved.
No formal vote was taken at the meeting; the chair asked trustees to read the bylaws and submit any proposed changes for the next meeting.
