Title
Library Director recommending the Board appoint Don Uelmen to serve as a member of the Historical Museum Commission for a term to expire January 2013.
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: Beverly Herzog has had to resign as an at large member of the Commission, leaving an opening. Don Uelmen has been volunteering at the County Museum and has submitted an application for this Commission. He is interested in bringing his experience and skills to the Historical Museum Commission. The current Historical Museum Commissioners strongly recommend him for this open position.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Don Uelmen to be notified and begin his term at the next regularly Historical Museum Commission meeting.
