Subject: [Bcma-l] Appointees Having A Vote
I have a question from my Board that I am hoping some of you out there =
could answer.
Can appointees (from municipal and community councils etc.) have a =
vote?
Perhaps it is a question that has a simple answer. Currently the =
Kitimat Museum has no by-law that states appointees are non-voting, and =
the B.C. Society Act states only that all Board members must be in good =
standing in order to vote. I could find no statement that an appointee =
must be non-voting. The only place is in the municipal council policy =
where it is stated that the council rep is non-voting to maintain arms =
length, avoiding conflict of interest. However, the Library here is =
exempt from such a rule as the Canadian Library Act states the appointee =
must have a vote.
The answers to this question may be of interest to others on the =
listserv. So I leave it up to you whether to reply to me off or on the =
listserv. Your thoughts on this topic would be most helpful.
