Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Motion to recommend for appointment for one (1) regular member to serve on the Delray Beach Housing Authority Board for a four (4) year term ending July 14, 2025.
Body
Background:
The term for Mr. Robert Townsend, a regular member of the Delray Beach Housing Authority, will expire on July 14, 2021. Mr. Robert Townsend will have served one (1) unexpired term, is eligible, and would like to be recommended for reappointment. Therefore, a recommendation for an appointment is needed for one (1) regular member to serve a four (4) year term ending July 14, 2025.
Under 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 considered for an appointment.
(See Exhibit "A" attached)
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 the rotation system, the recommendation for an appointment for one (1) regular member to serve on the Delray Beach Housing Authority for a four (4) year term ending July 14, 2025, will be made by Commissioner Casale (Seat #2).
