Approval of Standards of Behavior Policy for the Mendocino County Library
End
Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
Approve Standards of Behavior policy for the Mendocino County Library.
End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
Approved the Library Standards of Behavior on May 20, 2014; and approved Cultural Services Agency Standards of Behavior policy on September 13, 2022: item 3v.
Summary of Request:
Library branches serve the community by providing a place to check out library materials, attend educational workshops and community meetings, and to relax and read a book. Library branches also regularly experience unacceptable behavior demonstrated by the number of incident reports, calls to law enforcement, and the need for a Security Officer.
Since the Library is no longer a part of the Cultural Services Agency, its policies are being reviewed and reworded. The Standards of Behavior helps to define what is acceptable behavior and outlines the consequences of not following the standards. The policy has been reviewed by County Counsel and helps the County to move towards the Strategic Plan Designation of a Safe and Healthy County.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve and provide alternate direction.
Strategic Plan Priority Designation: A Safe and Healthy County
