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 be aware that the petitions are coming to it, and approval should have been cleared long before the petitions were passed. The board simply approves the petition and then notifies the county commissioners in the county or counties affected. 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.
