DISCUSSION/ FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Library Advisory Board currently has three vacant seats. At the June 5, 2018 meeting of the Library Advisory Board, Board member Barbara Stramler
announced that she was resigning. The application process to complete the one year
left of the Board term vacated by Ms. Stramler was opened in September, 2018 and closed on October 26, 2018. One application was received from Clyde Miller
during this time. The application was reopened on November 6, 2018 until January 11, 2019. Two additional applications were received during this open application process, one from Heather Millehrer-Huerta and another from Carolyn Miller. At
the November meeting Board Chair, Peter Fehrs announced he would not reapply after his term ended on December 31, 2018, leaving one full four-year term vacant. Kim Thompson announced that she could not fulfill the last year of her term via
email on January 16, 2019. The Library Advisory Board thus ended up with three open seats.
All applicants attended the January 15, 2019 Library Advisory Board meeting. The Council interviewed all three applicants on January 22, 2019 and decided to appoint
Clyde Miller to complete the full four year term expiring December 31, 2022 and to
appoint Heather Millehrer-Huerta and Carolyn Miller to complete the one year terms left in the departing members’ tenure expiring December 31, 2019. The
Library Advisory Board requests that the City Council formally ratify the
appointments of the three applicants at the Regular Meeting session.
