RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution reappointing Councilmember Boydston and Councilmember
Ferry to the Santa Clarita Board of Library Trustees for three-year terms through June 30, 2016.
California Education Code ("Education Code") sections 18910 through 18927 provides 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.
• Determine the number of and appoint all officers and employees of the public library, and
determine their compensation.
• Prescribe the duties and powers of the officers and employees of the public library.
• Purchase real property, and erect or rent and equip, such buildings or rooms as may be
necessary.
The power granted by the Education Code to the 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.
Each trustee holds office for a term of three years. Members of the Board of Library Trustees do
not serve at the pleasure of the City Council and, unlike other bodies appointed by the City
Adopted: Qc*&4 r1., No. 13 -ss
Each trustee holds office for a term of three years. Members of the 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.
On April 26, 2011, the Mayor and City Council approved the appointment of the members of the
City Council to serve as the Board of Library Trustees. The Board of Library Trustee terms of
Councilmember Boydston and Councilmember Ferry expired on June 30, 2013, and they
continue to serve in that capacity until reappointed or replaced.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
