<br />. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A report (walk-on item) dated <br />January 4,1979 and written <br />by Manuel A. Rede, recommended <br />approval of: 1) professional <br />Accountant services (on a <br />quarterly basis) by Alexander Grant & Co., 2) temporary contractual <br />services of a Housing Program Supervisor (pending recruitment of a <br />Housing Coordinator), and 3) an adjustment to salary range of Hous- <br />ing Coordinator position - from range 379 ($1,327 - $1,612) to <br />range 393 ($1,420 - $1,725), was approved on a carried motion of <br />5:0 by Commissioner Ward, seconded by Commissioner Yamamoto. Approval <br />was made pending upon certain conditions: Commissioner Ward recom- <br />mended that staff review their accounting procedures and began to <br />think more on "long term" accounting services; after the Authority <br />approved the requested recommendations, staff is to review their <br />requirements for Housing Coordinator and maybe began thinking of <br />looking for a "Housing Director," and finally that staff is to <br />report their accounting needs at the next budget session of Council. <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS <br />REPORT: SPECIAL STAFFING <br />NEEDS - ACCOUNTING & PROGRAM <br />SUPERVISION <br /> <br />Commissioner Yamamoto commented that staff should review the require- <br />ments of the housing staff (i.e. individual should know enough <br />accounting and be qualified to keep the books and help the Housing <br />Program keep up to the required level of HUD, for the Housing Authority <br />did not want to do anything detrimental to HUD. <br /> <br />Mr. Grams commented that the Housing Authority needed a professional <br />accountant to be able to function on a professional level, that <br />there were enough federal funds for a temporary Housing Program <br />Supervisor on a contractual basis, pending the recruitment of a <br />Housing Coordinator; and that the reason the Housing Authority <br />staff was recommending approval of an adjustment to salary range of <br />the Housing Coordinator's position was that the recent recruitment <br />for that position produced only one person who passed the examination <br />process and became eligible for appointment. The private sector <br />seemed to have more attractive job offers than the City and this <br />pay range did not appeal to many. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT At 2:12 p.m., the meeting <br />was adjourned on the unanimously <br />carried 5:0 motion of Commissioner Yamamoto, seconded by Commissioner <br />Evans. <br /> <br /> <br />
