This bill amends the existing laws governing the Eudora community library district by requiring the adoption of a joint resolution for the election of the board of directors. Specifically, it modifies K.S.A. 12-1295, 12-1296, and 12-1298, while repealing the previous versions of these sections. The amendments clarify that the board of directors will be elected by the qualified electors of the district rather than appointed, as previously stated. The joint resolution must outline the election schedule, terms of office, and procedures for filling vacancies on the board.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the library district board will consist of five directors who are qualified electors of the library district, with their terms established by the joint resolution. It also ensures that current board members will continue to serve until their terms expire, transitioning to an elected board as per the new provisions. The directors will not receive compensation but will be reimbursed for necessary expenses incurred while performing their duties.
