Subject Additional Measure on Ballot
The City Attorney confirmed with me late last night that there will be two measures concerning the Library
on the ballot:
"Shall the Board of Trustees of the Ames Public Library be
composed of nine members appointed by the Mayor and approved by
the City Council for terms of three years beginning on July 1 of
the year of appointment , each member being eligible for two full
consecutive terms?"
"Shall the Board of Trustees of the Ames Public Library have the
powers and duties to employ a
librarian and authorize the librarian to employ such assistants
and employees as may be necessary for the proper management of
the library, and fix their compensation; to remove such librarian
by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of such Board, and provide
procedures for the removal of such assistants, or employees for
misdemeanor, incompetency, or inattention to the duties of such
employment ; and to select, or authorize the librarian to select,
and make purchases of library materials for the
collection, furniture, fixtures, stationery, and supplies for such
library?"
I 'm leaving here in ten minutes to file .

Subject Additional Library Measures on the Ballot
Art:
Today is the election filing deadline with the Commissioner of Elections. I will be leaving here in a couple
minutes to go to Nevada to do that.
I am sure that you will recall the City Council on October 28, 2008, via Resolution No. 08-464, giving me
direction to place the following measures on the ballot for the next regularly scheduled election.
"Shall the Board of Trustees of the Ames Public Library be
composed of nine members appointed by the Mayor and approved by
the City Council for terms of three years beginning on July 1 of
the year of appointment, each member being eligible for two full
consecutive terms?"
"Shall the Board of Trustees of the Ames Public Library have the
powers and duties to employ a librarian and authorize the
librarian to employ such assistants and employees as may be
necessary for the proper management of the library, and fix their
compensation; to remove such librarian by a vote of two-thirds
(2/3) of such Board, and provide procedures for the removal of
such assistants, or employees for misdemeanor, incompetency, or
inattention to the duties of such employment; and to select, or
authorize the librarian to select, and make purchases of library
materials for the collection, furniture, fixtures, stationery, and
supplies for such library?"
I am sending this just as a reminder of the exact wording of the two measures that affect the Library.

Subject Ballot Language
Good morning Diane,
Do you have a copy of a word document of the public measure ballot language that will be placed on the
Ames city ballot? If so, could you email me a copy? I am working on some ballot prep stuff and it is
easier to type up the ballot if I have a word document to copy into the ballot layout.
Thanks in advance. Let me know if you have any questions.
Take care,
Dani Dunham

Subject RE:Additional Measure on Ballot
That would work along with the full ballot text and if you want a summary on
the ballot or the full text.
Is this another public measure or the same one you emailed me?
If you have further questions, let me know.
Take care,

Subject: Additional Measure on Ballot
Dani:
Good afternoon!
What do I have to bring to you to indicate the additional measure on the
ballot? Would a copy of the Resolution directing me to add that language
to the ballot suffice?
