Last year, Mrs. Marcie Ersoff, Chairman of the Library Advisory Board, appeared before the City Commission to present a report on the Library System and submit the Advisory Board's recommendation of candidates to fill City. vacancies on the Board.

MEMORANDUM Agenda Item No. •-4 trt' Honorable Mayor and Members, b^"` October 4, 1977 Ordinance Relating to the Metropolitan Dade County Public Library Advisory Board' Board of County Commissioners ruercer Ruth Shac; County Commissioner 77 r- 3 1 . The accompanying ordinance was prepared and placed on the agenda at the request of the Chairman of the Public Library Advisory Board. The proposed amendments have been approved by Mrs. Marcie Ersoff, the Chairman of the Library Board; Mr. Ed Sintz, Director of the Department of Libraries, and Mr. Robert Homan, Assistant to the City Manager of the City of Miami , . The amendments proposed improve the selection and appoint- ment process of the, Library Advisory Board as follows: 1. The amendments eliminate the requirement that five members of the nine member board must be residents of municipalities served by the library system. There are presently nine Dade County municipalities not included in the library system and, in the'future, as some of these municipalities join, they would likely want representation on the Library Board and it would be impossible to assign each a seat. We would, of course, retain the requirement that "the board shall be representative of the various interests ! of this metropolitan area in respect to geographic and economic factors". Because of the major contribution of the. City of Miami in transferring its library system to Dade County in 1971, the representation from the City should be maintained. Paragraph 018 of the Agreement between the City and County on the tr.-nsfer. of the Library System requires representation on the Board for three City residents. 2. Vacancies on the Board would be filled in the same manner recently provided for other County boards: the County Commission would select one of three names submitted by the Board. With regard to vacancies of representatives from the City of Miami, the City Commission would initially select one of the three names before County approval. RS/ RAG/ lc Attachment �.r.+�.
