WHEREAS,the Board of Trustees determines that allowing the Board President to serve
additional terms, beyond the two consecutive terms limit currently in the By-Laws, if no other
Trustee is willing to serve as President or if the Board is unable to approve a successor, promotes
the interest of the public and the Board by facilitating continuity in leadership and operation of
the Board's affairs and ensuring that an interested and agreed upon person remains in that
governing position.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED that the By-Laws of the Thrall Public Library
District of Middletown and Wallkill are amended by adding the following to the end of Article
Ill, Section 2 of the By-Laws:  and except the President who may serve continuous consecutive
terms in the event that no other Trustee is willing to serve or if the Board is unable to approve a
successor.

On a motion by Trustee JOSEPH RUYACK, seconded by Trustee
SUSAN WYMAN, the foregoing resolution and amendment to the By-Laws was adopted on

a vote of 4 AYES, 0 NAYS.
