Approval of Minutes <br />Motion to approve minutes from May 16, 2016 (Dubois /Yablonsky) <br />Vote: Unanimous <br />III: Director Search <br />Ms. Yablonsky reported that Town Counsel advised that an Interim Director for the Library <br />should be appointed to begin after Ms. Urell's last day of service, which will be June 29, <br />2016. <br />Ms. Yablonsky outlined some approaches to a search for a new Library Director. An internal <br />search requires posting position in every town building for 5 business days, and does not <br />require a search committee. A larger search will require a search committee, charged with <br />winnowing the field of applicants to a field of finalists, to be interviewed by the Board of <br />Trustees. Ms. Urell excused herself from the meeting at this point. <br />Trustees discussed pre s for scope of search process, and for the appropriate time <br />p =51 initiate the search. M BrzezinskPnoted the need to determine if there are existing state <br />SV and town requirements pertaining to conducting a search like this. Trustees voiced conce <br />that the Interim Director work with a full complement of staffing to ensure an efficient, <br />successful move back to the renovated Library, and to support efficient delivery of servic( <br />in the new Library.
