Rec: Receive and file.
Member Spiegel called attention to page 5 of the meeting minutes of July 11,
2007, where it stated, "Mr. Sullivan stated he felt uncomfortable with the
recommendation since the Commission was taking staff's word to move
forward. He mentioned that he was not going to be rubber-stamping as
much as he has in the past." He asked Chairman Kelly if he would now be
attending those meetings.
Chairman Kelly responded he's attended one meeting, but those minutes
weren't out yet. He said he didn't notice Mr. Sullivan rubber-stamping
anything.
Mr. McCarthy stated it was not staff's experience to have Mr. Sullivan or any
other member of the Housing Commission rubber-stamp recommendations
made by staff.
Upon a motion by Benson, second by Finerty, and 4-0 vote of the Authority Board,
with Ferguson ABSENT, the Consent Calendar was approved as presented, including the
aforementioned comments.
