body
INFORMATION CONTACT:
Nina Chaffin, Library, Director, 704-283-3561
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the amendment to Article VII, Paragraph 1 of the Union County Library Board of Trustees bylaws to reduce the required number of meetings from ten (10) per year to six (6) per year.
PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND:
At its regular meeting on March 17, 2026, the Union County Library Board of Trustees discussed the current frequency of its regularly scheduled meetings. During this discussion, members noted that several meetings throughout the year did not include actionable items requiring Board consideration, prompting concerns about the efficient use of time and resources.
As a result, the Library Board considered amending its bylaws to better align meeting frequency with operational needs. The Library Board of Trustees unanimously approved a revision to Article VII, Paragraph 1, reducing the number of required meetings from ten (10) per year to six (6) per year, to be held on a bi-monthly basis.
Because the Board of County Commissioners maintains oversight authority of the Library Board of Trustees, this proposed bylaw amendment is being presented for the Commissioners’ review and approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
