She said that she went all through the bylaws and could not find that one person has to be designated Executive Director. Tara Fikes said that in Article 2, Section 1 says that the Housing Authority/Board of Commissioners shall consist of seven Commissioners, and in Section 3, it talks about the resident Commissioner, that at least one of the Commissioners must be a person who is directly assisted by the Authority. Commissioner Gordon said that she had hoped that the changes would be highlighted. She suggested having a Section 3 on membership with 'a' being about the resident Commissioner and 'b', "another member of the Commissioners should be Executive Director." A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to approve the proposed revision of the Bylaws of the Orange County Housing Authority with the changes as made by Commissioner Gordon, and to resign as the Board of Commissioners of the Orange County Housing Authority. Commissioner Jacobs said that he was not clear who the Executive Director was and if they would receive compensation. Tara Fikes said that she had been serving as Executive Director and the old bylaws did indicate compensation. County Attorney John Roberts said that he has not reviewed this and Geof Gledhill had been working on this and is still working on this. Commissioner Jacobs made reference to the terms and asked about putting an asterisk and say "five-year term as of 2009." If there is no term mentioned, no one will remember what it was. Tara Fikes said that the attorney was concerned that they would not have __ _to come back each time the statute changes and it is a statutory change automatically. John Roberts said that a footnote would be fine for the five-year term in 2009. Commissioner Jacobs asked to have the footnote for the five year term in 2009 added to the motion and Commissioner Gordon agreed. VOTE: UNANIMOUS With that motion, the Board of County Commissioners resigned as the Orange County Housing Authority and reconvened as the Orange County Board of Commissioners. 6-2. Regular Agenda a.
