Discussion:
Sonoma County Public Law Library has a seven member Board of Trustees. The seven-member board consists of five superior court judges who historically have been appointed by the presiding judge and two additional members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors. One of the members appointed by the Board of Supervisors represents the State Bar and the other represents the chair of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors. (California Bus. & Prof. Code section 6301) Historically, the chair of the board has appointed someone to serve as trustee however it is up to the chair if they wish to fill the seat personally.
Current Law Library Board of Trustees are as follows:
Judge Jim Bertoli, President
Judge Ken Gnoss, Vice-President
Judge Dana Simonds, Member
Judge Peter Ottenweller, Member
Judge Patrick Broderick, Member
Sherie Hurd, Member and Financial Chair [under separate board item requesting re-appointment]
Board of Supervisors Chair or representative. Mr. Barnes is recommended to serve as the Chair’s representative trustee.
