Museum board of trustees
. 
The museum board of trustees consists of nine (9) members who serve staggered terms of three-years.  Board members do not receive compensation for services rendered as trustees. The museum director is an ex-officio member of the board.


Organization of the board of trustees
.
     A.   The board elects from its members a president, a vice-president, a secretary and a treasurer, who hold their offices for one year.
    B.   The board operates under the bylaws of the Sheldon Museum and Cultural Center, Inc.    
    
C.   Board meetings are held as often as required, generally once a month.  An annual business meeting is held during the month of January. Once approved by the board, a copy of the board meeting minutes and annual report are delivered to the borough clerk for inclusion in the assembly’s next meeting packets and to be added to the public record.


Board Vacancies/Filling vacancies.
A member’s position on the board is deemed vacated if the member fails to attend three consecutive meetings without being excused by the board.  In the event of a vacancy on the board, either at the end of the board member’s regular term, or if the seat is vacated by resignation or non-attendance, the borough clerk will advertise for replacement board member(s) as set out in HBC 2.60.055.  The museum board of trustees will review all applications for new board member(s), making recommendations for appointment to the mayor.  The mayor, after reviewing all applications, and considering the board’s recommendation(s), will appoint a new member or members(s) subject to confirmation by the borough assembly.  Appointees filling out partial terms are appointed only for the balance of that un-expired term.

     E.   Has authority to allocate borough-appropriated funds for museum staffing within the scope of the collective bargaining agreement with the Local 71 Union;

     F.   When the position of museum director is vacant and has been properly advertised, reviews all applications received.  The museum board of trustees makes a recommendation for hire to the manager.  The manager, after reviewing all applications, and considering the board’s recommendation, hires a new director subject to confirmation by the borough assembly.  The museum director, serving at the direction of the board of trustees, will have the administrative responsibilities of the operation and maintenance of the museum and management of the collection. The director works with the Haines borough manager regarding staff and building matters.
