Agenda - Cornelius

City of Cornelius Agenda Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Karen Hill, Library Director
Through: Rob Drake, City Manager
Date: July 12, 2012
Subject: Library Board Appointments
Summary: Request appointment of new Library Board member and reappointment of one expiring position
on the Library Board.
Previous Council Action: Council approves appointments to serve on the Library Board as recommended
by the Library Board.
Background Discussion: Two library board members terms will expire on June 30, 2011. Kimberly Viera
was appointed to fill an unexpired term in May 2007. Her first full term is expiring and she is available for
reappointment.
Primavera Armendariz has met with the Board and applied for the position vacated by Kristin Steger-
Solares who has served the maximum number of terms.
Financial Implications: The Library Board is responsible for recommending policy and direction for the
Cornelius Public Library, therefore, it is in the public’s best interest to retain a full membership on the
Library Board.
Advisory Committee Vote (if needed): The Library Board voted unanimously to recommend Viera for
reappointment and Armendariz for a new appointment at their meeting on Thursday, May 10, 2012.
Recommendation: Staff recommends Ms. Viera and Ms. Armendariz be appointed to serve on the Library
Board.
Proposed Motion:
I move that the Cornelius City Council reappoint Kimberly Viera and appoint Primavera Armendariz to the
Library Board and that this action take effect immediately.
