Subject: [Bcma-l] Appointees Having A Vote
=20
I have a question from my Board that I am hoping some of you out there =
could
answer.
=20
Can appointees (from municipal and community councils etc.) have a vote?
=20
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.
=20
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.
