Votes at a glance: Nov. 18 South Pasadena Library Board special meeting

At its Nov. 18 special meeting the South Pasadena Library Board of Trustees recorded three formal actions:

1) Agenda reordering: The board moved and seconded a proposed reordering of the agenda and approved the procedural motion. The clerk confirmed the motion passed.

2) Temporary opening-hour change (Item 4): The board approved a staff recommendation to open the library at 2:00 p.m. (instead of 10:00 a.m.) on Thursday, Dec. 18, 2025. A trustee moved, another seconded, and the motion passed in a roll-call vote with responding trustees recorded as "yes." This action was listed as a staff recommendation and recorded as approved.

3) Nominating committee for 2026 officers (Item 6): The president proposed the board appoint two trustees to a nominating committee to prepare a slate of officers for 2026. Trustees moved to appoint Minh and Ed (Ed Pearson) to that committee; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call. Trustees discussed that new council appointees may not be seated immediately and that the slate does not have to be finalized until March, but establishing a small nominating committee now will allow work to begin.

Vote tallies: Votes were recorded in roll call for Items 4 and 6; the clerk called the roll and the participating trustees registered their votes as "yes." The meeting record does not show any "no," abstain or recused votes for these items.

Notes: The minutes-record clerk (Mister Faye) conducted roll calls for recorded votes. Where staffing or mover/second identification was not explicit in the verbal record, the minutes show the clerk calling names and trustees responding.
