This volunteer position has a term limit of one-year, with two one-year renewals available at the discretion of the individual and the Board of Trustee committee members.

In August 2020, the Board of Trustees adopted resolutions establishing the Altadena Library District Community Facilities District (CFD) to finance capital improvements of approximately $2,600,000 annually (altadenalibrary.org/MeasureZ).

This CFD Committee, formed by the Board of Trustees in December 2020, will provide critical guidance over the implementation:

• developing the bond issuance team and debt structure,
• managing the bond proceeds,
• providing oversight of the capital improvement projects, and
• supporting the solicitation of community feedback throughout the process.

The CFD Committee values the perspective of the community and has created this opportunity to serve alongside the Board of Trustees appointed to this important committee.

The CFD Committee will meet virtually once a month on the second Wednesday of each month at 3:00 pm, via Zoom, while COVID-19 social distancing continues to be required, and all meetings will be open to the public via live stream on the Altadena Library YouTube channel.

Committee Chair and Trustee Terry Andrues said:

Our Board of Trustees is committed to transparency and community engagement throughout this process. We welcome the voices of Altadena to guide our work and support the molding of our libraries into resources that can safely and successfully serve our community for generations to come.

Interested candidates must submit their resume and statement of interest to District Director Nikki Winslow via email at nwinslow@altadenalibrary.org. The statements should outline why they are interested in joining and what relevant experience or expertise they would bring to the work. The deadline to apply is Friday, January 29, at 5:00 pm PST.
