Council reviews incumbents for Coos County Library board seats
Summary
Staff presented two incumbents — Barbara Kaffee and Kathy Larcom Johnston — for the Coos County Library Services District board; council heard background on the district and incumbents' terms ending 06/30/2025.
City staff asked the council to consider two incumbents for seats on the Coos County Library Services District board: Barbara Kaffee, identified in the packet as the board chair with a term ending 06/30/2025, and Kathy Larcom Johnston, a current board member with the same term end date.
Staff described the district's formation in 1992, its countywide funding role supporting eight public libraries including the local library, and the board's duties in policy, budget oversight and coordination among member libraries. Councilors asked clarifying questions about how other municipalities contribute to the district's funding formula and noted incumbency; staff said it could provide comparative contribution data if desired. The item was presented as a housekeeping appointment review and no vote detail was recorded in the transcript.
