Trustees refine duties: treasurer and staff to coordinate filings; director retains discharge authority with board notification
Summary
Trustees clarified reporting duties so the treasurer and library staff jointly prepare filings and audits, and discussed moving employee discharge authority to the library director while retaining trustee oversight and notification for urgent dismissals.
Trustees recommended that the treasurer coordinate with library staff (director or assistant director) to prepare records for annual audits and filings with the attorney general rather than placing sole responsibility on volunteer officers. "Prepared records for annual audit in coordination with the board treasurer," a trustee noted in support of moving the operational work to staff.
On personnel, trustees discussed moving responsibility for hiring and discharge recommendations to the director while ensuring the board is notified in urgent or public-safety dismissals. One trustee said they would prefer to keep removal authority visible to trustees so there are no surprises if a staff member is dismissed.
