The inter-county rural library district shall initially have a board of seven trustees, two of the trustees to be appointed from Island County and five of the trustees to be appointed from Snohomish county. It is recommended by the boards of county commissioners that the proportion of representation from each county on the inter-county rural library board of trustees be maintained the same in the future, unless there is a major shift in the proportionate population and financial contribution of the taxpayers of Island county and Snohomish county. (Added by Res. adopted Dec. 17, 1962).
