Library Board Authority
Answer
6.0 AUTHORITY
6.1 Because all powers of the Board lie in its action as a corporate body, members of the Board collectively exercise full authority over all aspects of the library operation. Individual board members exercise their authority over library affairs only through their vote to take action at a legal meeting of the Board.
6.2 In other circumstances, an individual board member, including the Chairman, shall have power only when the Board, by vote, has delegated authority to him.
6.3 Management Rights
6.3.1 It is the exclusive right of the Board to operate and manage the business of the library in all respects, unless otherwise provided by the library policies. The Board reserves all rights to:
a) make, from time to time, other rules and regulations to be observed by library manager.
b) hire, promote, transfer, lay off, recall, demote, discipline, suspend, or
discharge library manager.
c) appoint another member of the staff to assume the duties of the library manager in the absence of the library manager.
