Relates to the number of members of the board of trustees of the Mamaroneck public library district

New rules for Mamaroneck library board

The law changes the Mamaroneck Public Library District board to between 5 and 15 members. Trustees are elected by district voters to three-year terms, with a limit of three terms in a row. At its first regular meeting, the board sets staggered terms by lot: 3 end after one year, 4 after two years, and 4 after three years. Each term starts on June 1 after the election. Only qualified district voters can serve as trustees. Each year the board chooses a president and vice-president from its members. The board may appoint a clerk and a treasurer who are not trustees and pay them. Vacancies are filled at the annual election. The law takes effect immediately.
