BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Public Law Library Board of Trustees was established by State law and County Ordinance to maintain a law library in Martinez. The Law Library also operates a branch library in Richmond. The Board of Trustees is the governing body for the Law Library with the authority to determine personnel, fiscal, and administrative policies to fulfill the legal information needs of the community. The Board of Trustees is composed of either four or five judges of the Superior Court, the chair of the County board of supervisors or designee, and as many members of the State Bar appointed by the board of supervisors as is necessary to constitute a body of at least six but no more than seven members.

Currently, aside from the designee of the board of supervisors chair, the board of supervisors appoints one trustee who is a member of the State Bar. The Internal Operations Committee annually reviews the appointment to the Member of the Bar seat, which term expires each December 31.

At the direction of the Internal Operations Committee, staff opened a four-week recruitment for the Member of the Bar seat (see attached media release) on September 26 and received one application, attached, from Joshua Klein (Moraga). Incumbent Dean Barbieri notified the Committee that he will not re-apply and, instead, supports Mr. Klein's application.
