Resolution No. 23 (2024)
RESOLUTION DISBANDING COUNTY LIBRARY PLANNING
COMMITTEE
COVER MEMO
TO: County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ken Witt, County Administrator
DATE: June 4, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Disbanding County Library Planning Committee
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Wis. Stat. § 43.11 governs county library planning committees. Specifically, Wis. Stat. § 43.11(1)
indicates that a county board may appoint a library planning committee, but it is not required to
do so. The main function of a county library planning committee is to prepare and/or revise the
plan of library services. However, creation or modification of the plan of library services is not
required to be completed by the county library planning committee and instead can be created
or modified by the county through other means. St. Croix County participates in a federated
public library system, specifically the Inspiring and Facilitating Library Success (IFLS), pursuant to
Wis. Stat. § 43.15(4)(b). A county may participate in a federated public library system if three
criteria are met. The first criteria is to adopt and maintain a plan of library services. Therefore,
the County Library Planning Committee can be disbanded with the understanding that the
function of revising the plan of library services is delegated to another person or committee
within the county. The Administration Committee is currently responsible, pursuant to Article
Four, Section I.1.c.19 of the Rules of the Board of Supervisors, to recommend to the County
Board changes to the St. Croix County Library Service Plan.
