RE:     APPOINTMENT OF PINELLAS COUNTY LAW LIBRARY BOARD MEMBERS

 

            Section 78-3 of the Pinellas County Code (Code) grants the Chief Judge the authority to appoint trustees for law libraries within Pinellas County.  Further, under section 78-5 of the Code, the Chief Judge has the authority to provide for the expenditure of funds budgeted by the Board of County Commissioners for the establishment and maintenance of law libraries.

 

 Pursuant to these Code authorizations, Administrative Order No. PI-CIR-00-29 established the Pinellas County Law Library Board.  In 2008, the Chief Judge appointed eight trustees to the Board for a term beginning January 1, 2009, which was ratified by Administrative Order 2010-003.  The Board is now being reconstituted in order to give other members of the legal community an opportunity to serve.  Therefore,
