Westwood Library trustees list annual reorganization and authorizations on Jan. 27 agenda

The Westwood Library Board of Trustees’ agenda for its Jan. 27, 2025 meeting lists the board’s annual reorganization items and routine governance authorizations.

The agenda specifies that the board will take up the election of officers and appointment to committees. It also lists designation of legal depositories and an annual resolution authorizing the issuance of moneys without requiring vendor certification. The agenda includes an item authorizing the board president and board treasurer to approve bill payments when there is not a quorum and an annual authorization giving the library director the ability to open late, close early, or close entirely for emergencies or weather.

The agenda further includes renewal of the board’s resolution authorizing an attorney on behalf of the board and an item described as the annual signing of the “BCCLS Certification Agreement.” The agenda text uses the acronym BCCLS but does not define it; the agenda does not record any additional detail about the certification agreement.

The Treasurer’s Report and a motion to pay current bills are also on the agenda, together with committee reports including a municipal capital request report, board members’ training report, strategic plan review, borough liaison report and the director’s report. The agenda frames these as routine financial and oversight items; the document itself does not record any votes or outcomes.

Next steps: these items are published on the meeting agenda for consideration at the session; the agenda text does not record whether motions on these items were made or approved.
