Art Waller, Housing and Community Development Coordinator
informed the HCDA Board that a new Rehabilitation
Specialist by the name of Adrian Picou had been hired.
Mr. Dunn asked if this hiring would complete the HCDA
Division's staff. Mr. Waller replied that the division
is yet incomplete but that interviews had been conducted
for Economic Development Specialist and the position was
being offered to the highest scoring candidate; also the
City will be recruiting for two Administrative Analyst
positions in the near future to assist in the Planning
and HCDA Divisions.
Mr. Waller informed the HCDA Board that the HCDA Division
is currently considering a lease purchasing agreement for
two trailers in order to relieve overcrowding conditions
of the staff due to the Code Enforcement Department being
relocated to the Annex so that the Fire Department can
house the new Firefighter program and future additional
staffing. Mr. Waller explained that the HCDA division is
currently leasing space for $12,000 per year and by
leasing the trailers, that cost could be cut in half;
also that staff was seeking temporary space so that once
the Regional Justice Center is built and the Sheriff
Department relocates, the City can be in a position to
obtain their current building.
Mr. Waller informed the HCDA Board that staff is in the
process of completing the annual Grantee Performance
Report which is due on August 29, 1987, and that the
Board will be given a copy upon its completion.
Mr. Dunn questioned the process of the Graffiti Program.
Mr. Waller explained that the program is currently not in
operation but that a company was coming to the City's
Recreation Department to demonstrate equipment and
techniques used in removing graffiti and that all
interested Board members were invited to attend the
demonstration.
