11/21/20240 HOUSING AUTHORITY ADOPTED

Minutes note: Attorney Tom Gartner of Michael Best & Friedrich LLP explained that the statutory requirements for a quorum are not fully defined and the Board’s Bylaws for a quorum may be inconsistent with one reading of the statute, so Resolution 13524 ratifies and re-approves the actions taken by the body when only three Commissioners were present.
