ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: June 1, 2010 Action Agenda Item No. SUBJECT: Hyconeechee Regional Library Board — New Appointment DEPARTMENT: Board of Commissioners PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No ATTACHMENT(S): Under Separate Cover INFORMATION CONTACT: Membership Roster Clerk's Office, 245 -2130 Letter Of Recommendation Hyconeechee Regional Library System - 2009 Contract Hyconeechee Regional Library By -Laws Applicant Interest List Application(s) /Resume(s) of Person(s) on The Interest List PURPOSE: To consider making a new appointment to the Hyconeechee Regional Library Board. BACKGROUND: The Regional Library System is organized within the framework of the North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 160A, Article 20, Part 1. The purpose of the Regional System is to provide for the administration of library services within the region, which consists of the Counties of Orange, Person, and Caswell. The BOCC of each county (Orange, Person, Caswell) is charged with maintaining a board comprised of 9 members (3 from each county). In addition, if one of these counties wants to terminate their annual contract (the regional contract is attached) then it has to be done 6 months in advance of June 30th (which is in the last section). Since the Commissioners are underway with their discussion of the reorganization of their boards /commissions, if the County does not want to renew this contract in the near future, Orange County is to give 6 months notice to the other counties and to the NC State Library, who oversees the public libraries and ensures our library is meeting state statutes. (The Chair of the BOCC signed the attached contract last June and it is up for renewal this June.) FINANCIAL IMPACT: None RECOMMENDATION(S): Consider making an appointment to the Hyconeechee Library Board.
