Committee on Appropriations

Overview

Changes the deadline for when the board of trustees of a municipal public library must make their annual report to the governing body of its city or town.

History

The governing body of a city or town may appoint residents of the municipality to a board of trustees (board) of its library. A board has charge over the library and library property and is required to meet at least once per month.

A board is required to submit to the governing body of its respective city or town an annual report that must contain: 1) a full statement of all property and money received, where derived and how used and expended; 2) the number of books, journals and other publications on hand, added by gift or purchase and the number lost, missing and loaned; and 3) other statistics that may be of general interest to the governing body. The secretary of a board must also include in the annual report a financial report, verified by oath, showing all receipts and disbursements of money. The annual report is due to the governing board of the municipality on or before the first Monday of July each year (A.R.S. § 9-418).

Provisions

1. Amends the deadline for when trustees are required to make their annual report to be the second Monday of July of each year. (Sec. 1)
