S7.47 18-2082 Subject: Oakland Housing Authority Board
From: Office Of The Mayor
Recommendation: Adopt A Resolution Confirming The Mayor's Appointment Of Anne E. Griffith, Lynette Jung Lee, And Mark J. Tortorich For Four-Year Terms, And Barbara Montgomery And Betty Lou-Wright For Two-Year Tenant Terms To The Oakland Housing Authority Board
There is a contradiction in Item S7.47 on tonight's council agenda. On page 2 of the report, it states "WHEREAS, the Honorable Mayor Libby Schaaf has reappointed Anne E. Griffith, Donna Griggs-Murphy, Marlene Hurd, Lynette Jung Lee, and Barbara Montgomery to serve on the Oakland Housing Authority Board subject to confirmation by the City Council"
However, when the names are listed again below that paragraph, Marlene Hurd's name was not listed. Moreover, Ms. Hurd received notification that she was not being reappointed. This confusing and contradictory item should be pulled and rescheduled.
In addition, I think Ms. Hurd is being unfairly pushed out of the OHA Board. Ms. Hurd is the first tenant member of the OHA Board to be elected vice chair by her fellow board members. She was behind many forward thinking policies, some of which were nationally recognized.
