Strategic Plan

Authority. This request does not apply directly to a specific strategic plan goal.
Background Analysis
On June 27, 2019, the Board of the Palm Desert Housing Authority (the “Authority”)
considered and adopted the Resolution No. HA-93 amending and restating the Bylaws
of the Palm Desert Housing Commission (“Commission”).
The Commission’s Bylaws identifies the regular meetings shall be held on the first
Wednesday of each month at 3:30 p.m. The Commission further desires to set a
schedule of its regular meeting for the calendar year so that Members could calendar
them and plan accordingly for other important events and activities throughout the year.
Legal counsel has recommended that this should be adopted through a resolution of
Authority, which would memorialize the acceptance by the Housing Commission and
provide the public advance notice of the meeting schedule for the calendar year.
