Task Number Six: Approval by the District Library Board

This should be a routine step. The district board, which should have been involved in the districting process from the beginning, should know that the petitions are coming and should have already indicated its approval of the addition of the city to the district. Now the board simply approves the petition and then notifies the city council and county commissioners of each affected county. Approval of the petition can occur at a regular board meeting, or it may be approved at a special meeting and be used as a media event. If you decide to use the special meeting option, make sure that you follow the provisions of Idaho’s Open Meetings Law for special meetings.
