Change Present Elected Library Board System:
The Committee received a written presentation from, Village Manager
Eppley relative to if and how the Mount Prospect Public Library
could be operated without benefit of an elected Library Board of
Directors. Village Attorney John Zimmermann, in a written report,
said the Village, under Home Rule power, had the authority to
place the question before the voters via a referendum and to
operate a Library under the overall supervision of the Village
Manager. The Village Manager pointed out that cities throughout
the State of Illinois operate their libraries as a department of
the municipal government. He was Manager of two municipalities
that operated in that manner. He foresaw no problems in such an
operation in Mount Prospect.
Although the members of the Library Board had been invited to
attend the Finance Committee, meeting, none was present. A former
Library Board member, the Library Board's Attorney, and a rep-
resentative of the Northwest Suburban Library Council were present
to voice objection to the proposed dissolution of the elected
Library Board.
After considerable discussion, the Chairman of the Finance Committee
said he would delay the calling of a vote until the next meeting
of the Committee. Because of the holidays, the Finance Committee
will next meet on Thursday,,January 26, 1978.

Board meeting of December 6,.
