The Library Board formally delegates to Library management and Security Officers the authority to enforce the Rules of Conduct, including the withdrawal of permission to remain on Library premises and the issuance of exclusion orders. Patrons shall have the right to submit a written request for an administrative review of an exclusion order which is for a period greater than seven days. Patrons shall include in the request any written documentation they seek to have considered in the review process. The exclusion order remains in effect pending administrative reviews.
If a patron timely requests an administrative review, the City Librarian shall review the exclusion order and provide the patron with a decision in writing. The patron may file a timely request for a Library Board review of the City Librarian's decision. The President of the Library Board, or another Board member acting as the President's designee, shall review the exclusion order, considering only the written record and the patron's written administrative review request, and shall issue a final decision on behalf of the Library Board.
The City Librarian is authorized to develop procedures for the implementation of this policy including appropriate timelines for filing requests for administrative and Library Board reviews.
