Agenda Item 6.F.1. I urge the BCC to appoint Tami Ruf to a full term on the library board. So far, she has only served a partial term (one year) since she replaced Al Rogers. Trustee Ruf is the only member of the board who has worked in a library, and her knowledge is crucial to helping the rest of the board understand library issues. Over the past two years, the BCC has destabilized the library board and created chaos by failing to reappoint effective trustees, creating a revolving door of inexperienced trustees. Trustee Ruf has been effective and has the knowledge to help the board move forward.
Agenda Item 6.F.1 Appointment of Tami Ruf to Library Board of Trustees. I urge the BCC to appoint Tami Ruf to a full term on the Washoe County Library Board of Trustees. I have been attending LBOT meetings regularly since November 2024, and Ms. Ruf is consistently a clarifying voice on the board. She is skilled in summarizing sometimes messy discussion into a clear conclusion and in formulating cogent, understandable motions. She also is the lone board member who has experience as a librarian.
