Commission tables Mid‑Continent Library reappointment until applicant can attend

Administrator raised item 2026‑233, a reappointment to the Mid‑Continent Library board, and explained the applicant was not present. Commissioners discussed whether applicants for boards that oversee significant spending should attend so the commission can question them directly. Commissioner Wellington moved to table the item until the applicant could appear; the chair treated it as a privileged motion and the commission voted in favor (roll call recorded 4–0). The item will return when the applicant is available to meet with the commission.
