Library board president resigns; commission to advertise vacancy and consult county counselor
Summary
Will Blindberg informed the commission that Library Board President Echo Snider resigned effective end of April after moving; commissioners said they will check statutory and bylaw guidance with the county counselor and advertise the vacancy for candidates.
Will Blindberg, the library director, told the commission that Echo Snider, president of the Christian County Library Board of Trustees, resigned effective at the end of April because she is moving to Nixa. Blindberg said the director notified the commission of the vacancy and recommended starting the process to find a replacement for the south‑location seat.
Commissioners discussed whether the county must follow the library board bylaws’ geographic representation when making appointments and agreed to consult the county counselor, Austin, for a legal determination. They said they intend to advertise the vacancy and aim to identify candidates before the next board meeting; interviews would follow as part of the selection process.
No appointment was made at the meeting and commissioners said they would proceed with public notice and a review of the bylaws and statute before selecting a candidate.
