Sec. 16-1. Composition of library board; election and terms
of members; vacancies.
There shall be a library board of Charlottesville, consisting
of four members to be elected by the city council and
four members to be elected by the board of supervisors of
Albemarle County. The present members of the board elected
by the city council shall continue to hold office for their respective
unexpired terms, and upon the expiration of the
term of any member elected by the city council, a successor
shall be elected by the city council for a term of four years.
When a vacancy occurs in the office of any member elected
by the city council, it shall be filled by the city council for the
unexpired term. In no event, however, shall a member elected
by the city council be eligible to serve more than two successive
full four-year terms.
The terms, the number of terms and the manner of filling
vacancies of county members shall be fixed by the board of
supervisors of Albemarle County. In the event of the termination
of the present arrangement between the library board
and the board of supervisors of Albemarle County, for extended
services to the county, or the termination of any renewal
of such present arrangement without further renewal,
the powers and duties of the members of the board elected
by the board of supervisors of Albemarle County shall cease
and the board shall consist only of the members elected by
the city council. (Code 1959, § 16-1; 2-4-63; 9-14-64.)
