SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City of Lake Elmo City Council is respectfully requested as part of the Consent Agenda to affirm the following appointment. As part of the Consent Agenda, no formal motion is required. If the Council wishes to further discuss this appointment, they can remove this item from the Consent Agenda and approve the
appointment 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 as part of the Consent Agenda 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.”
