Community members worried that Chance could still be fired next month and called for more support for Chance. “Show support for your local library system and please come out and speak your mind,” community member William Veillon told KLFY. “We need people here to tell this library board that they do not represent this community,”
Library Director Danny Gillane, whose contract was up for review and approved for another year, sent an email to board members asking that they delay their decision until he was back in town, according to the Daily Advertiser. At least two board members agreed with Gillane’s rationale, with one admitting they felt uncomfortable about potentially firing Chance given her lack of a prior disciplinary record. Chance’s lawyer has also pushed back against the board’s conduct. “The first time that Ms. Chance was ever informed of any alleged insubordination was right here in this room in front of everybody,” lawyer Robert Schmidt told the Daily Advertiser. “She was not given any sort of notice beforehand of the action that was being proposed or of what misconduct she was accused of engaging in.” No date or time has been set for the closed session to determine any disciplinary actions against Chance in August.
