Name Adriana Duque Hughes Cheryl Lentini Daniel Bacon Yvette Lozano BACKGROUND: At the meeting of February 3, 2020, the City Council called for applications for the Board of Library Trustees Commission to fill one unexpired four-year term to the end of April 2023 due to resignation of Catherine Sumser. Originally, interviews were scheduled to be held on March 16, 2020 and the meeting was cancelled due to COVID-19, and we didn’t reschedule interviews due to the Marin County Shelter-in-Place order and because all boards and commissions meetings were cancelled until further notice. Since then, staff is working to get boards and commissions set up to meet virtually, and this vacancy should be filled prior to the first Board of Library Trustees virtual meeting in July. The Board of Library Trustees is an advisory board that meets monthly with responsibility to provide support for the Library Director, support the Library Foundation in its quest for a new library, serve as advocates for the Library to the City Council, and help increase the visibility of the Library in the community. Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. at the Downtown San Rafael Library, Library Meeting Room, San Rafael, California 94901; however, due to COVID-19, the Board of Library Trustees will meet virtually until in-person meetings resume. SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 ANALYSIS: The deadline for submitting applications was February 25, 2020, and the City Clerk’s Office received five applications; however, one applicant withdrew their application following the close of the deadline. Staff recommends the City Council interview the four eligible applicants and make an appointment to fill the unexpired term of Catherine Sumser to the end of April 2023. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. COMMUNITY OUTREACH: The call for applications for the Board of Library Trustees was advertised through mass email notification, Canal Alliance, the City website, Nextdoor and Facebook social media platforms. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Interview the four applicants and make appointment to fill one unexpired four-year term on the Board of Library Trustees to the end of April 2023. ATTACHMENT: 1.
