Vancouver, Wash. – The City of Vancouver is seeking applicants to fill a vacancy on the Fort Vancouver Regional Library District Board of Trustees. Completed applications must be received by the City Manager’s Office by 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 19.
The seven-member board of trustees oversees the Fort Vancouver Regional Library District system whose service area includes Clark, Klickitat and Skamania counties, plus the city of Woodland. Board members are responsible for setting library policies for the district’s 15 libraries, bookmobiles, online services and centralized headquarters. The board also adopts the budget, encourages effective service programs, and ensures the public has equal access to information.
Applicants for this vacancy must be city residents. The position is currently held by an individual whose term is expiring. This individual may or may not reapply for their position. Per Vancouver City Council policy, all incumbents who wish to reapply for their positions will be re-interviewed along with any other qualifying applicants. This recruitment is for a seven-year term that would begin Jan. 1, 2019 and expire Dec. 31, 2025.
The Vancouver mayor and city council recommend two of the seven positions on the board. Any recommendations must be approved by joint action of the Clark, Skamania and Klickitat county legislative boards. Library board meetings are generally held the second Monday of each month. Meeting locations rotate to the various library branches throughout the three-county area.
Applicants may apply online at www.cityofvancouver.us/boards. For an application or additional information, contact Michelle Bartley by mail at Vancouver City Hall, P.O. Box 1995, Vancouver, WA 98668-1995, by phone at 360-487-8607, or by email at michelle.bartley@cityofvancouver.us.
