Lake Stevens Library Board elects Shailene Charvay Bates chair; Nancy Joao to remain secretary
Summary
During the Oct. 16 meeting the board approved previous meeting minutes by unanimous consent, elected Shailene Charvay Bates to succeed as chair (effective April) and reappointed Nancy Joao as secretary; motions were approved by voice or raised hands without recorded roll-call tallies.
The Lake Stevens Library Board approved its prior meeting minutes by unanimous consent at the start of its Oct. 16 meeting and then held officer nominations.
Outgoing Chair Abe Martinez nominated Shailene Charvay Bates to serve as board chair beginning in April; the nomination was seconded and the board approved the choice by unanimous voice vote. Martinez said he would step down at the end of his allowable term and recommended Bates "to lead us out," citing her long service on the board.
Martinez then nominated Nancy Joao to continue as board secretary; that nomination was seconded by Joanne Van Leuven and approved unanimously.
There was no roll-call tally recorded in the meeting minutes; votes were taken by voice or raised hand. The board adjourned by unanimous voice vote.
Outcome and next steps: Shailene Charvay Bates will assume the chair role beginning with the board’s April meeting (per the board’s timeline discussed at the meeting). The board scheduled remaining meetings in April and July during the wind-down transition but noted final meeting dates depend on any city council action regarding board sunset.
