ALTADENA >> An incumbent and newcomer were elected to two open seats on the Library Board of Trustees on Tuesday.

Only nine percent of voters turned out to the polls to elect newcomer Meredith McKenzie and incumbent David Tuck to the board. McKenzie, 60, a professor at Cal Poly Pomona, earned 1,129 votes, or 41.4 percent of ballot votes. Her campaign was endorsed by all five of the Library Trustees, according to smartvoter.org

Tuck, 68, who has served on the board since 2007, trailed in close second with 1,041 votes, or 38.2 percent.

The third candidate, Steven Lamb, 56 a residential designer, was defeated with 553 votes, or 20.3 percent of ballots cast. Thirteen precincts were reported in the election.

According to its website, the Altadena Library District is governed by a Board of Library Trustees, which derives its authority from the Education Code.

“The Board of Library Trustees consists of five members elected at large from the District and who serve without pay for four-year staggered terms and may be re-elected,” the website notes. “Elections are held biennially in odd numbered years on the same day as state general elections, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.”

The Board meets on the fourth Monday each month in the Community Room of the main Altadena Library.
