Background:
There is a vacancy on the Delray Beach Housing Authority Board due to the resignation of Mr. Guarn Sims. Recommendation for appointment is needed for one (1) regular member to serve an unexpired term ending March 6, 2022.
In accordance with 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 the 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 Deputy Vice Mayor Johnson (Seat #4) for one (1) regular member to serve on the Delray Beach Housing Authority for an unexpired term ending March 6, 2022.
