Members of the Library Board of Trustees are subject to the provisions of the California Political Reform Act and must file statements of economic interest each year and complete two hours of ethics training every two years.
The Maddy Act (California Government Code Sections 54970-54974) requires that on or before December 31 of each year the legislative body must prepare a Local Appointments List which contains the appointive terms of Board and Commission members which will expire in the next calendar year. The name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment and the term expiration date is also included on the list. Based on the prepared list, the City Clerk’s Office accepts applications (available on the city’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office) for any upcoming vacancies.

Next Steps
Following the appointment of one member to the Library Board of Trustees, the City Clerk’s Office will update the board’s roster and coordinate the oath of office and the filing of the appointee’s statement of economic interest and ethics training certificate.

Library Board of Directors Finalist
Distinguished Town Council and Library Board of Director, All Receive - Agenda Item# J L/
For the Information of the :
CITY COUNCIL
Date~J.J.rJ::iJrA ........--cc .,,.-
CM _~_ ACM _ ....-u.:CM (3) /
Thank you for accepting my application for a volunteer position on the Library Board of Directors. I am unable to attend the Council meeting on June 21 as I am traveling to visit family in the Midwest. I hope you will accept this letter in lieu of my attendance in person.
Please allow me to first introduce myself : I am a new Carlsbad resident as of January this year. I previously lived and worked in the Boston area. I have been delighted with Carlsbad since I moved in and while the weather is absolutely wonderful, I have been very impressed with the quality, management, and accessibility of city services across the board.
I have been seeking ways to get involved by volunteering and applied when I saw the Library Board vacancy.
I am a recent retiree of the Proctor and Gamble Company where I worked in R&D for 22 years. In my career I developed and honed experience in project and research site management, contracts, budgets, personnel resources, data analytics, product development and claims management. I managed over 9 million dollars of research globally for the Oral tare business alone. My final role was at the Gillette Business where I created a Competitive Intelligence process and team to assess the male shaving business globally.
My love of libraries goes back to childhood, reading books for the summer reading program to earn Cubs tickets in Chicago, to using it as a resource for school and work research. I have been a lifelong patron and supporter of libraries everywhere I've lived.
I am an active, high-energy person with the skills and the time to serve in the support and involvement on the Library Board of Trustees. I am ready to learn from the current Board because based on my experiences already at the Dove Library (and I visit the library several times a week!), they have done amazing work.
My apologies for being unable to attend the meeting in person. I would like to thank Town Council and meeting attendees for their consideration .
Sincerely,
Amy Walanski
