Town Council meeting 8/4/2025 discusses the town council’s new responsibility of appointing alternate members to the Leech Library Board of Trustees. This is a departure from their usual appointment processes for advisory boards, as the library board is an independent governing body. The discussion highlights the creation of specific application questions tailored for these alternate positions, given their unique nature and the council’s lack of prior experience in filling them. There’s considerable debate regarding the council temporarily undertaking this responsibility due to an impasse within the library board, with the aim for the trustees to eventually adopt this new process themselves for future appointments. The ultimate goal is to formalize this expectation through a Memorandum of Agreement to ensure the library board handles this process going forward.
