Mr. Gregory Wicklman will have served an unexpired term, is eligible, and would like to be recommended for reappointment. Recommendation for appointment is needed for one (1) regular member to serve a four (4) year term ending July 14, 2021.
Per Florida Statute, Chapter 421, an appointee may not be an officer or employee of the City. The following individuals have submitted applications and would like to be recommended for appointment:
(See Exhibit “A” attached)
A check for code violations and/or municipal liens was conducted. None were found. Voter registration verification was completed and all are registered. According to Florida Statutes, members are appointed by the Mayor and ratified by the Commission. However, at the City Commission meeting of June 5, 1991, a consensus was reached whereby each Commissioner would, on an informal basis and according to the rotation procedure, make a recommendation to the Mayor as to the Housing Authority appointees.
Based on this system, the recommendation for appointment will be made by Vice Mayor Chard (Seat #2) for one (1) regular member to serve on the Delray Beach Housing Authority for a four (4) year term ending July 14, 2021.
