It is the purpose and intent of the Board of County Commissioners, in enacting this
article under and pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.08 of the Home Rule Charter,
to create and establish an Advisory Board of official status composed of outstanding
citizens with representative interests and geographical distribution, who are dedicated
to the purposes of providing a feasible, adequate Public Library system for this entire
metropolitan area in cooperation with all other governmental entities, and that will
be in a position to furnish information, advice and counsel to the Board of County
Commissioners in respect to the appropriate means and methods by which adequate Public
Library facilities and services may be provided within the framework of the County
government on a sound financial basis for the use and benefit of all residents and
visitors of this metropolitan area, and to work towards the development and implementation
of sound programs for public libraries through the mutual cooperation between the
State, County and municipal governments and agencies and coordination with non-governmental
organizations interested in library facilities and services. This article shall not
be construed as delegating to such advisory board or its members any power or authority
of a governmental, legislative or administrative nature, but as the establishment
of an official instrumentality by which the Board of County Commissioners may obtain
the benefit of accurate, comprehensive information, advice and counsel concerning
all matters relating to public libraries and other cultural facilities and programs
which may be necessary for appropriate action by the Board of County Commissioners.
