TO:
RCPL Trustees FROM:
E. Abrahamson, Policy Committee
G. Chapman, Director RE:
Interview
Procedure – Trustee Applicants
Eight people have turned in applications for the three vacancies on the
Library Board and their applications are attached. Six are city applicants
and two are for the county vacancy. The county vacancy according to statutes
is a non-voting liaison position given the percentage of funding provided by
the contract.
Included below is the schedule for each applicant with interviews estimated
at 15 min. a piece. Upon the conclusion of the interviews the Board will go
into Executive Session to discuss recommendations. After the Executive
Session recommendations will be given to the Mayor for his approval and
ratification by the Council, tentatively set for the February 2, Council
Meeting. The candidates will be notified of the recommendations and final
approval. Once approved the new board members first meeting is scheduled for
February 11. Orientation sessions will be scheduled for each new member and
any interested existing members within the first month. A Board Goal Setting
and Strategic Plan adoption work session is scheduled for May or June
depending upon the Strategic Planning Process.
The questions to be asked are being reviewed and will be sent in a separate
mailing before the meeting. Follow up questions may also be asked of candidates.
The Chairman will conduct the interviews by informing each applicant of the
interview timeframe, decision making procedure, number of applicants
(reminding applicants of potential Foundation Board positions and membership
in the Friends of the Library Group given three openings on the Board) and
then ask the questions. Each Board member will be given copies of the
questions to record applicants’ responses.
As a final attachment with this memo I have included for your review and consideration
in filling the vacancies, general background information of a Board Member’s
role.
