SUBJECT: REVISED POLICY ON ADVISORY HOUSING COMMISSION MEMBERS
ATTENDANCE AT NAHRO REGIONAL AND NATIONAL CONFERENCES
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE proposed revised policy on Advisory Housing Commission members
attendance at NAHRO Regional and National Conferences which would allow one
additional Commissioner to attend NAHRO Regional Conferences provided that the
Advisory Housing Commissioner is a duly appointed member of the Pacific Southwest
Regional Council of NAHRO Commissioner Affairs Committee, said appointment has been
ratified by the Advisory Housing Commission, and provided adequate funding is
available, as recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The effective date of this policy would be November 1, 1991, which would permit
the Housing Authority time to revise its travel budget to reflect travel for an
additional Advisory Housing Commission member in its mid-year budget revision.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
At the present time, the Advisory Housing Commission has a policy on the number
of Commission members who can. attend regional or national conferences of the national
Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) . The current policy
limits such conference attendance to no more than two Advisory Housing Commission
members.
At the April 15, 1991 meeting of the Policy and Strategy Committee of the
Advisory Housing Commission, the committee recommended a change in the policy
regarding Advisory Housing Commissioner attendance at NAHRO regional conferences.
The proposed revised policy would permit two Advisory Housing Commissioners, plus no
more than one additional Commissioner, to attend a NAHRO regional conference provided
that the additional Advisory Housing Commissioner was a duly appointed member of the
Pacific Southwest Regional Council of NAHRO Commissioner Affairs Committee. This
appointment must be confirmed by the Advisory Housing Commission.
The two plus one policy would apply only to NAHRO Regional Conference
attendance by Advisory Housing Commissioners. The November, 1991 effective date of
this policy would apply to the Fall Pacific Southwest Regional NAHRO Conference.
