Those present: Hal Heusner, Diane Jacko, Patti Haux, Tina Schroeder, Pete Hanley, Megan Baker, and Cornelia Wells. Those absent: Cindy Farbaniec, Kathy Donohue, and Jill LaGoy.
The special meeting was called to order at 7:15pm by President Hal Heusner.
Hal Heusner explained that our Board of Trustees was not in compliance with our charter, as we should have five trustees and we currently have nine. Under the direction of Joseph Mattie, Library Development Specialist II of the State Department of Education, Hal explained that we must eliminate four positions and petition the Board of Regents to amend our charter to specify the number of trustees to be not less than five or more than nine.
Mr. Mattie explained to Megan that Diane Jacko and Cornelia Wells’ positions can be eliminated by postponing our annual election, but we must also eliminate two other positions. Cindy Farbaniec and Pete Hanley volunteered to step down as they are the newest elected trustees.
Hal Heusner moved that the Board of Trustees of the Bolton Free Library hereby requests that the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York amend the charter of such corporation to specify the number of trustees to be not less than five nor more than nine, with the current number being five, and be it further resolved that the President and Secretary of the corporation, on behalf of the Board of Trustees are hereby authorized to execute a petition to be addressed “To the Regents of the University of the State of New York” for such purpose. This motion was seconded by Patti Haux and carried.
Hal Heusner then moved to delay our Annual Election until such time as we receive notice form the State Education Department that they have approved the amendment to our charter, second by Tina Schroeder, and carried.
Hal Heusner also moved that once the amendment to our charter is approved, Pete Hanley and Cindy Farbaniec be appointed to complete the terms they were elected to serve, second by Patti Haux, and carried.
The trustees of our current board are:
Hal Heusner – President
Patti Haux – Vice-President
Tina Schroeder – Secretary
Jill LaGoy – Treasurer
Kathy Donohue
Patti Haux moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:00pm, seconded by Tina Schroeder, and carried.
Respectfully submitted,
Tina Schroeder
Secretary
