ITEM
MOORPARK LIBRARY BOARD
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Library Board
FROM: John Brand, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: March 27, 2012 (Meeting of April 10, 2012)
SUBJECT: Consider Nullification of Election of Board President on March 13,2012
BACKGROUND
At the March meeting, the Board was mistakenly asked to hold an election of Officers
(President and President Pro Tern). According to state law,the terms of the Library Board
members begin on July 1 and end on June 30. President Michael Fenerin was duly elected
by the Board in July 2011 for a term that ends on June 30, 2012.
It was appropriate for the Board to elect a new President Pro Tern to fill the vacancy that
resulted from the resignation of the incumbent Karen Wrolson.
Therefore, President Fenerin continues in office until the next Board election after July 1,
2012, as does President Pro Tem Abigail Sichmeller.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve as presented.
MOORPARK LIBRARY BOARD
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Library Board
FROM: John Brand, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: March 27, 2012 (Meeting of April 10, 2012)
SUBJECT: Consider Library Vision Statement (Continued from January 10, 2012,
and March 13, 2012)
BACKGROUND
At the January meeting, the Board discussed developing a Vision Statement to help the
Board and asked that this item be continued to its next meeting. At the March meeting,
Board Members agreed to submit, per email, their vision statement ideas to staff, and to
then decide on a final Vision Statement at their next Board meeting. The Board also
encouraged staff to meld the various statements into one for consideration.
DISCUSSION
Board President Fenerin submitted the following:
"Provide the broadest range of exceptional library services and resources to the
community of Moorpark, consistent with available resources."
President Pro Tem Sichmeller submitted the following:
"The Moorpark Library allows for the pursuit of learning and knowledge through
technology and organized text, with the hopes of bringing joy, adventure, and
vocabulary to its users,while striving to preserve and improve the quality of life for
its citizens."
Board Member Wolfson submitted the following:
"Through mindful interaction with all affected parties (library staff, library users,
community-at-large) keep the City Council apprised of options and choices to
effectively anticipate and meet or exceed the needs of the Moorpark community for
Library Board
April 10, 2012

all library resources and services now and in the future."
Each statement appears to approach a similar vision, albeit from different angles. A
possible combination of these Vision Statements might be:
"Provide library services for the pursuit of learning, knowledge, and literary
adventure while striving to effectively meet the needs of the community for library
resources and services."
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Finalize a vision statement for recommendation to City Council for consideration.
