Title
Library Director recommending the Board appoint Mans Kjellin to serve as a member of the Historical Museum Commission for a term to expire January 1, 2012.
Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: None.
Background: Ordinance 4551 established the seven-member Historical Museum Commission with membership consisting of seven (7) members. Five (5) members are appointed, at large, by the Board of Supervisors. The remaining two (2) members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors on a rotating basis from the membership of the following historically oriented community groups, including, but not limited to: El Dorado County Historical Society, South Lake Tahoe Historical Society, Heritage Association, Native Sons of the Golden West, Roots and Goldust, Wagon Train (Highway 50 Association), Colonial Dames, Daughters of the American Revolution, E Clampus Vitus, National Pony Express Association, Gold Bug Park Association and Native Daughters of the Golden West.
Reason for Recommendation: Mans Kjellin is currently volunteering at the County Museum three days a week utilizing his extensive knowledge and research skills about museum artifacts. He submitted an application in order to be considered for the Historical Museum Commission. After posting the vacancy for 45 days, the current members of the Historical Museum Commission strongly recommend the appointment of Mr. Kjellin to the Commission. The appointment will fill a vacancy due to the death of Earl Perry who was appointed at-large to the Museum Commission on March 25, 2008.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Historical Commission appointee to be notified to serve out his term to January 1, 2012.
