Sanibel library board fills vacancies with appointments
The Sanibel Public Library District’s board recently filled two open seats on the commission.
At their meeting on March 26, the district’s Board of Commissioners appointed Michelle Walker and Sandon Shepard to Seats 3 and 6, respectively, in separate motions with unanimous votes of 5-0.
Walker fills the seat of Melanie Congress, who resigned effective Jan. 23.
Shepard fills the seat of Nicole Decker-McHale, who resigned effective Feb. 19.
Chair Linda Uhler, Vice Chair Shelley Greggs, Treasurer Sandra Zahorchak, Secretary Chelle Koster Walton and Commissioner Ellen Vinciguerra voted in support of the appointments.
At the April 23 meeting, Walker and Shepard each took the oath of office and were sworn in.
They will serve until the General Election this year.
The district is governed by a seven-member board of commissioners, elected by the voters of Sanibel for four-year terms. The board sets the millage rate, prepares, considers and adopts a budget, sets policy, and employs an executive director to be the administrator and manager of the Sanibel library.
The board meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 9 a.m.
