Board of Library Trustees Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Lisa Pope
Submitting Department: City Clerk
Meeting Date: June 7, 2022
SUBJECT
Board of Library Trustees Temporary Ad Hoc Committee
Recommendation:
Select a member to fill the vacancy on the Library Temporary Ad Hoc Committee established
to work with staff to determine a plan to reestablish the Vernon Public Library.
Background:
Municipal Code Section 2.24.050 authorizes the Board of Library Trustees, consisting of five
Council Members to make and enforce all rules, regulations, and bylaws necessary for the
administration of the library, prescribe duties and powers of the librarian, purchase books, and
purchase property or equip building for such libraries.
At its June 2, 2020 meeting, the Board of Library Trustees established the Library Temporary
Ad Hoc Committee of no more than two Trustees to work with staff to determine a plan to
reestablish the Vernon Public Library. President Lopez and Trustee Menke were appointed to
serve on the Temporary Ad Hoc Committee.
The Temporary Ad Hoc Committee conducted meetings and on October 6, 2020, the Board of
Library Trustees approved the proposed Little Free Library project. The meeting scheduled for
June 1, 2021 was cancelled and subsequently one of the two seats became vacant. The
Board of Trustees has the opportunity to select a member to fill the vacancy.
Staff recommends the selection of a new member to the Temporary Ad Hoc Committee to fill
vacant position; and to work with staff to study the future re-establishment of the Vernon Public
Library.

There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.
