Nominee Seat
Diana Tenes Public Housing f Section 8 Participant
3160 Oak Road #203
Walnut Creek, CA 94597
BACKGROUND:
In 1999, the Board of Commissioners created one additional seat on the Board to comply with
new federal law requiring that at feast one participant in either the public housing program or
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program sit on the Board of Commissioners. In the past,
the Board of Commissioners has made its appointment to this seat from one of the tenant
members of the Advisory Housing Commission.
In October 2003, the Internal Operations Committee received from the Housing Authority
Executive Director the nomination of Diana Tenes for the vacant seat on the Housing
Authority Board of Commissioners. In recognition of the visibility of the seat and the
prospective appointee's close working relationship with the Board of Commissioners,
Supervisor Uilkema requested that the Internal Operations Committee interview Ms. Tenes
prior to making a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners.
Our Committee interviewed Ms. Tenes on December 15, and recommends her appointment to
complete the current term, which will expire on March 31, 2004. The IOC will consider Ms.
Tenes for appointment to a new term in March 2004.
