ARTICLE III. MEMBERSHIP.

This Board may have 7, 9, 11 (not 8 or 10) members, so as not to create a tie vote situation, including two representatives of the Holston River Regional Library Board. The members shall represent both the city and county and must have a library card and be in good standing with the Library.

In varying degrees the following qualities are valuable and should be represented:
• Financial, legal and business experience

• Knowledge of general social relations
• Good relations with the public

Names of proposed members shall be submitted to the Hamblen County Legislative Body and/or the Morristown City Council in April for appointment/confirmation for a 3 year term beginning July 1. Library board members may serve two consecutive terms and must then have a 3-year break before being reappointed. Holston River Regional Library Board members may serve only two successive terms in accordance with state law. In the event of vacancy, a successor shall be proposed by the Board for appointment by the county or city to fill the unexpired term.

Appointments to fill a vacancy of an unexpired term shall be for the remainder of the unexpired term only, and all members shall continue in office until their successors are appointed. If a member misses three consecutive meetings without due cause, he or she may be asked to resign.
