TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
FROM: Robert McEwan, Executive Director
John Sweeten, County Administrator
DATE: September 20, 2005
SUBJECT: APPOINT RUDOLF TAMAYO AS ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PENDING
COMPLETION OF RECRUITMENT AND FINAL APPOINTMENT
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ACCEPT the retirement of Robert McEwan, Executive Director, to be effective October 1, 2005.
APPOINT Rudolf Tamayo as Acting Executive Director pending completion of recruitment,
selection and final appointment. This acting appointment shall be made effective October 1, 2005.
11. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
Ill. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
As has been reported to the Board, I plan to retire as of October 1, 2005. 1 am recommending that
Rudolf Tamayo be appointed the Acting Executive Director pending completion of the recruitment,
selection, and final appointment of the Executive Director. Mr. Tamayo has served as the Deputy
Executive Director for the Housing Authority for over four years and has over twenty years experience in
the administration of public housing agencies. He has overseen the day to day operations of all of our
programs and is capable of taking on the full duties of the Executive Director in an acting capacity.
A recruitment for the permanent appointment of an Executive Director is now underway and is
being conducted under the auspices of the County Administrators Office. It is not expected to be
complete for several months.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to approve this appointment, the Housing Authority
would be without an administrative leader for the agency until a permanent successor is found. The
Board would then need to consider other means and candidates to fill this position or leave the position
vacant which would be extremely disruptive and detrimental to the Housing Authority and its programs.
