4530</span></a>, </span></strong><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">is one of a few bills (numbers 4530 through 4533) working their way through the Michigan Legislature that would change election dates in Michigan, from the current
three times per year (May, August & November) to two times per year. The bills would eliminate the August and May elections and replace them with a June election. Below you can find the arguments for and against the proposed changes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<strong><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Supporters of these bills argue </span></strong><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">that municipalities (school districts, libraries, road commissions, etc.)
purposefully place millages on the ballot in the August election when many residents may be out of town or less likely to vote. This practice is described as a “stealth election” and is thought to improve the odds of a millage win. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Moving to two elections a year will save municipalities approximately $2,700 per precinct. The move would also save clerks the additional work and effort associated with an additional election
per year. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<strong><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Those opposing the proposed changes argue </span></strong><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">that millages for small or low-profile purposes are often placed
on the ballot in May or August because it gives the entity the ability to better educate the citizens since the ballot is not as crowded. A ballot crowded with many millage questions can be very detrimental to smaller millages or more complex issues because
voters become overwhelmed with the amount of ballot questions. In addition, candidates with smaller budgets could be negatively affected since they will not be able to campaign in the summer for primaries that will now be in June. It could deter less-funded
candidates from running. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Opponents believe this change has the potential to be extremely problematic for library millages. Libraries will have to plan their millage campaigns carefully to ensure that they will be able
to have another try if the first try fails, and they will have to determine how to contend with multiple other millage campaigns and ballot questions while campaigning and educating voters. Libraries depend on their millages. This bill reduces the options
a library has for when to put their millage on the ballot. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">This bill has gained strong support in the legislature. Recent election issues and controversy have made the concept of fewer elections attractive. The Secretary of State is now in favor of this
plan, and municipalities are looking to save funds. Municipal clerks support these bills. The bill has been passed by the House of Representatives and is currently in a Senate Committee. There is some strong opposition to this bill – schools and municipal
associations are opposed to this bill, as is the Michigan Library Association. However, even with rigorous lobbying against them, the bill still passed the House. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

measures provide a foundation on which to build coherent efforts to increase the quality and impact of library services, improve the knowledge, skills and abilities of employees, and ultimately to strengthen the organization as a whole. Libraries need such

<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">The Library of Michigan’s (LM) Quality Service Audit Checklist (QSAC) program is a voluntary management standards program that assists public libraries by setting benchmarks in several areas
including: Governance & Administration; Human Resources; Services; Collection Development; Technology; Facilities & Equipment; and Public Relations. The program is especially helpful as a tool to assist trustees understand the baseline level of services expected
of a public library. Why participate in the QSAC program? Quality measures can be used to educate staff, trustees, local authorities, and state legislators. They can show your community what you have achieved with your current funding, and what could be possible
if that funding was increased. The measures can be used as part of strategic planning, as examples of where and how your library can grow and improve. They are an advocacy tool for every library, regardless of size or funding level. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

with a plaque that can be displayed in the library and Essential level libraries receive a certificate. All libraries also receive window clings for their buildings and can add logos to their websites to help denote their achievements. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"> So how do you ensure your library staff, director and all its trustees are ready to meet the challenges associated with this change? You can help do this by supporting professional development,
training, and growth opportunities in the workplace. This is essential in attracting and maintaining a knowledgeable, skilled, and confident library staff. When the community sees the library as a credible organization that provides high quality services and
programs it supports your millage and other endeavors as well. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">The next step is to make professional development an expectation for everyone, including trustees. Have a budget that supports travel and registrations for staff and trustees to take part in improving
their knowledge and skills. If financial support is a concern, seek out free opportunities and support flexible schedules to allow for attendance at training events. Include training expectations in union contracts and evaluation and review processes. Encourage
an increase in the organization’s statewide and national profile by supporting library staff participation in presentations at events and conferences. This is a great way to celebrate and share library success and lessons learned. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
