DATE: June 14, 2022
SUBJECT: REAPPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Sarona Vivanco
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution appointing Councilmembers Miranda and Smyth to the Santa
Clarita Board of Library Trustees for a three-year term, expiring June 30, 2025.
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita (City) has two groups that provide feedback and support to the Santa
Clarita Public Library. The Community Library Forum (Forum) is comprised of stakeholders
that were identified in the 2018 Library Strategic Plan, including representatives of local school
districts, non-profit organizations, College of the Canyons, Friends of the Library, and the Santa
Clarita Economic Development Corporation. The Forum meets quarterly to discuss library
operations, policies, collections, programming, facilities, and trends.
In addition to the Forum, California Education Code (Education Code) sections 18910 through
18927 provide that a municipal public library "shall be managed by a board of library trustees"
consisting of five members appointed by the Mayor with the consent of the City Council. The
Education Code empowers a Board of Library Trustees with the authority to:
• Make and enforce all rules, regulations, and bylaws for the public library.
• Administer trusts declared or created for the public library.
• Prescribe the duties and powers of the officers and employees of the public library.
• Purchase real property, erect or rent, and equip such buildings or rooms as may be
necessary.
The power granted by the Education Code to a Board of Library Trustees is considerable and
comparable to that which the City Council has over the other operations of the City. By serving
as the Board of Library Trustees, the City Council retains this authority.

At the April 26, 2011, meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution 11-27, appointing the
Mayor and members of the City Council to serve as the trustees of the Santa Clarita Board of
Library Trustees. Each trustee holds office for a term of three years. Members of the Santa
Clarita Board of Library Trustees do not serve at the pleasure of the City Council and, unlike
other bodies appointed by the City Council, cannot be easily removed or replaced prior to the
expiration of their term of office.
It is appropriate for the City Council to consider and adopt a resolution reappointing
Councilmember Miranda and Councilmember Smyth to the Board of Library Trustees for
another term, expiring on June 30, 2025.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action.
