Officials review proposed amendments to Fontana Regional Library agreement after Jackson County withdrawal
Summary
Staff outlined three amendments to the Fontana Regional Library agreement—making one trustee a county commissioner, restoring a distinct regional director role, and allowing excess funds to be reimbursed to counties after audit; item will return for vote after 30 days.
County staff briefed the Swain County Board of Commissioners on proposed amendments to the Fontana Regional Library agreement after Jackson County announced its intent to withdraw. The three changes under consideration would: require that one county-appointed trustee be a commissioner; re-establish a separate regional director position (rather than dual-hatting the regional director and librarian); and allow excess operational funds, after audit and calculation of payables, to be returned to counties proportionally.
Staff said the item is for discussion and must wait the required 30 days before the board can vote; the amendment will return to the December agenda. Commissioners who spoke said the changes could improve communication and operational clarity between counties and the regional board.
