Title
Appoint Carolyn Schneider to the Mendocino County Library Advisory Board
Summary
The City Council has established a regular, annual procedure for soliciting applications and evaluating candidates to advisory committees, districts and boards. The current term for the City's appointed member to the Mendocino County Library Advisory Board expires on October 31, 2021. The position is currently held by Carolyn Schneider who was appointed to the board by the City Council on November 12, 2019.
A Public Notice was issued on December 18, 2020 calling for all interested persons to apply for the position on the Library Advisory Board (Attachment 1). This notice was published in the Fort Bragg Advocate News twice, on December 24 and December 31, 2020 and has been posted in the City Hall Notice Case and on the City's website from December 18, 2020 to present. No applications have been received to date. The City Clerk contacted Ms. Schneider on September 15, 2021, and she indicated her willingness to continue to serve on the Library Advisory Board, subject to approval by the City Council.
As there are no other applicants and Ms. Schneider is an incumbent, staff recommends that the City Council forego the interview process and appoint Carolyn Schneider to serve another term on the Mendocino County Library Advisory Board. This action can be taken by the Council on the Consent Calendar and will be recorded as a "minute order." If appointed, the two-year term will expire on October 31, 2023.
