SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City of Lake Elmo City Council is respectfully requested to affirm the following appointment to the City of Lake Elmo Library Board by taking the following action:
“Move to appoint Brett Emmons to the Lake Elmo Library Board as an alternate
member for a two-year term.” BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Per MN State Statutes, the mayor of a municipality has the authority and responsibility to appoint members of the local library board. The appointment must be affirmed by the members of the City Council. In 2011, the Mayor appointed five regular members and three alternates to the newly created Lake Elmo Library Board. Board members are appointed to staggered 1-Year,
2-Year, and 3-Year terms. Due to attrition, there is currently one alternate board position that needs to be filled. RECOMMENDATION: The Mayor recommends that the City of Lake Elmo City Council is respectfully requested to
affirm the following appointment to the City of Lake Elmo Library Board by taking the following action: “Move to appoint Brett Emmons to the Lake Elmo Library Board as an alternate member for a two-year term.”
