Box 850 Eagle, Colorado, 81631 Dear Commissioners; Madeleine Simonet, representing Eagle County, has recently resigned from the Basalt Regional Library Board in order to accept a position in Boston. The Library has advertised for applicants to flll the vacant board seat. We have received applications from two highly qualified individuals: Beryl W. Eylar and Anne Freedman. Their letters of application are enclosed. The Board has considered the merits of each applicant. By a vote of 6-0 the Board recommends that the County Commissioners appoint Beryl W. EyIar to the vacant position. This recommendation is based on the following considerations. Beryl resides in a region of the district that currently has no representation - Anne Freedman resides within a few blocks of two of the current members. In terms of representing all areas of the district. Beryl would be the better choice. The Board expects to ask the district voters to approve a bond issue to build a new library in the near :future, probably in November, 2006. Beryl has extensive experience managing public building projects. This experience would be a valuable asset for the Board. Anne Freedman is currently a member of the Basalt Town Council. She will hold that position until April, 2006. The Board anticipates negotiating with the Town of BiV$aIt to obtain a building site for the new library. If Anne is appointed to the Board, she will not be able to participate in the Board's deliberations on this important matter until after April, 2006. Sincerely yours,rC ~0-~ Peter W.
