The Lacey Library Board elected new officers at its Jan. 15 meeting. Following nominations, the board approved the candidate referred to in the transcript as "Sharpe" as chair and elected Oz as vice chair by voice vote.

A board member said they would be willing to serve as chair again but did not want to preclude other candidates; that member accepted a nomination and the board approved the nomination by voice vote. Another member nominated Oz to be vice chair and the nomination was seconded and approved by voice vote.

Chair and vice chair responsibilities were described in the board bylaws and the newly adopted bylaws remove minute-taking duties from board officers; staff noted the chair coordinates with city staff on agenda preparation and may be asked to participate in upcoming candidate interviews for open board positions.

No formal roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript; the transcript records voice votes with members saying "aye."
