We’re called commissioners and it serves the same purpose. So we review the state director each year, we approve the budget, and we OK the strategic planning and the goals for the next year.” Latcham is also a teacher-librarian for th e Iowa City Community School District and serves on the board of directors for the Wellman-Scofield Public Library.
