He felt this was important, especially for new <br />commissioners, because the Housing Commission is quite complicated and suggested consideration <br />be made to having a commission workshop so everyone can better understand what is required of <br />them. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kripalani questioned if Chairperson Galvin was suggesting commissioners participate in <br />an orientation. Chairperson Galvin stated he would like the commission to receive an annual report on <br />what inventory is being managed by staff. Mr. Hernandez indicated that prior to COVID staff did supply <br />the commission an informational inventory report and was something they could again provide. <br />Commissioner Renton agreed this would be a helpful learning tool. <br /> <br />Ms. Clark commented on the constant changing of state rules but agreed that staff could provide a <br />report that would help commissioners better understand what staff are working on. She indicated she <br />would work with Mr. Hernandez on this. Chairperson Galvin felt it would assist the commission to learn <br />about projects such as the one discussed under item 4 on the agenda for this meeting. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Renton, seconded by Commissioner Kripalani, requesting the <br />Housing Commission be provided an annual inventory report put together at the discretion of staff. <br /> <br />ROLL CALL VOTE: <br />AYES: Commissioners Chillinsky, Kripalani, Renton, and Chairperson Galvin. <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: Commissioners Fischer and Schemp. <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />COMMISSION REPORTS <br /> <br />None <br /> <br /> <br />FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS <br />
