RECOMMENDED ACTION•
I •
Appoint Roberta- McFarland, 140 Pleasant View Drive, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523, to the
delegate position of the Bay Area Library and Information System Lay Advisory
Board for one 2-year term only, May 1985 to May 1987; and appoint Heather Gist,
326 Elati Court', Danville, CA 94526, to the alternate position for the May 1985
to May 1987 term.
i
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Library is a participating member of the Bay Area Library
and Information System (BALIS). Membership in the system makes possible a number
of service benefits to our residents, through resource sharing efforts. Much of
the funding of jsystem activities comes from the State of California under the
California Library Services Act which requires citizen input through a System
Advisory Board.: Each member jurisdiction is entitled to one representative and
one alternate appointed by the local governing authority.
In April of 198.3 the Board, at the Library's suggestion, appointed Barbara Doyle
of Kensington as delegate and Roberta McFarland as alternate to the BALIS Lay
Advisory Board ;for the two year term from May 1983 to May 1985. Mrs. Doyle has
asked not to be reappointed to another term; Mrs. McFarland, however, has agreed
to serve another term.
Appointing Mrs.; McFarland to the vacant delegate position will give us the
opportunity to :establish a regular succession from the alternate to the delegate
slot, and to select only the alternate in future years.
Mrs. Gist, whom we are recommending for the alternate position, has served
admirably in a ;leadership role in the Friends of the San Ramon Valley Branch Library.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Time lost in identifying and interviewing additional ,didates.
