Advisory board to rely on ordinance for residency rules; plans to bring change to council
Summary
Board members agreed to remove residency language from their draft and instead refer to city ordinance 2.02.001 for member qualifications, and they plan to ask council to adopt consistent language at a coming meeting.
The advisory board reviewed a succinct set of board code provisions from Denton Public Library and then discussed whether residency requirements should belong in the advisory document or be left to city ordinance.
Members noted the ordinance (cited as 2.02.001) defines qualifications and residency requirements, and several agreed to remove explicit residency language from the draft MOU and instead rely on the ordinance and city council to set eligibility. "Members of the library advisory board shall reside in the [Hutto] Independent School District" was cited from ordinance text as an example, but the board decided membership language should not conflict with existing ordinance provisions.
The chair asked staff to identify the ordinance citation and promised to send it to staff for the record; members discussed presenting the clarified language to city council for approval at the next available meeting.
