265 <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox said that he has not heard consensus on the composition of the interim <br />board. Mr. Cox said that having Councilors serve on the Housing Authority Board is a <br />major commitment and Councilors need to scale back on their commitments. Mr. Cox <br />said he feels Council will shortchange the Authority if they don't give all to the effort. <br />Mr. Cox said he would favor a more expanded version of an interim board with seven <br />members. Mr. Cox said he feels having a five-member Board requires a lot more work <br />by its members. <br /> <br /> Mr. Caravati suggested that consideration be given to appointing two ex-officio <br />members. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox said two members could be ex-officio, but he feels new blood is needed <br />on the Board. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano suggested that a search panel could be appointed to advise a five- <br />member Board on the hiring of the executive director~ <br /> <br /> Ms. Richards said that a caretaker board could assist staff by advising and <br />supporting them, but they would not initiate any new programs. Ms. Richards said that <br />she favors the interim board composition suggested by Ms. Daugherty. <br /> <br />Mr. Cox asked what the magic is of having three Councilors on the Board. <br /> <br /> Ms. Daugherty said that it would provide three committed people in charge of the <br />hiring procedure. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox said he would favor a five-member board with two Councilors, two <br />residents and one citizen-at-large. Mr. Cox said that with a Council majority, the other <br />representatives are symbolic. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano noted there is no monolithic thinking on Council and there needs to <br />be more than a three to two vote in favor of hiring the director. <br /> <br /> It was agreed that the ordinance amending the composition of the Housing <br />Authority Board, for an interim period, to five members to include three Councilors, one <br />citizen and one public housing resident, would be placed on the agenda for the September <br />8th Council meeting. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Caravati, seconded by Mr. Toscano, Council agreed to meet in <br />executive session to discuss appointments to various boards and commissions as provided <br />by Section 2.1-344(A)(1) of the Virginia Code by the following vote.
