[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town of North Haven 6-14-1972
Special Town Meeting. Amendments noted where applicable.]
There is hereby established a public library for the Town of North Haven,
to be known as the "North Haven Memorial Library."
The management of said public library shall be vested in a Board of
Directors, which shall consist of nine electors of the town to be appointed
by a majority vote of the Board of Selectmen upon passage of this ordinance.
Three of such newly appointed Directors shall serve until the first business
day of January 1974, three until the first business day of January 1976 and
three until the first business day of January 1978. Following the general
town election of November 1973 and each biennial town election thereafter,
the Board of Selectmen, by a majority vote, shall appoint three Directors
for a six-year term, which term shall commence the first business day of January
following such town election.
Such appointed Board of Directors shall have the same powers, duties
and responsibilities relating to such public library as are and be from time
to time prescribed and set forth in the Connecticut General Statutes for elected
Library Directors.
When the Library Building Committee has, in its opinion, concluded its
duties and responsibilities relating to the construction of the public library,
unexpended funds from those previously appropriated at the Special Town Meeting
of July 20, 1970, may be utilized by said Board of Directors for any equipping,
furnishing and other incidental expenses pertaining or relating to said library,
all as provided and in accordance with the terms and conditions of said appropriation.
