Middletown Library Board Meeting 2/15/12 - Video

It has taken a few weeks for this video of the Middletown Public Library Board of Trustees meeting to be posted to YouTube and to be honest I haven't had a chance to watch it in full just yet.

This meeting that took place on February 15, 2012, was the first Library Board meeting after the resignation of long time Board President Randall Gabrielan. Newly appointed member, Lawrence Nelsen, was voted to be the New President of the Board of Trustees.

 It is very apparent from the video that the new Board of Trustee members aren't ready for prime time.

The newly appointed Board Attorney Armen McOmber, makes it clear to everyone in attendance, including the new appointees, that the new members of the Library Board don't know what they are doing and therefore when it comes to the conducting of meetings and then proceeds to conduct the meeting himself.

He decides than that he will need to attend meetings until this new Board is capable of conducting meetings on its own.

There were also a few very passionate members of the audience that rose during the public comments portion of the meeting to express their feels of displeasure about the wrong direction the Middletown Library system seems to be heading.
