| 0 | 1. | Housing Authority Resolution | Resolution approving amendments to the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee Bylaws
Minutes note: Ken Barbeau, HACM’s Interim Secretary-Executive Director, explained that this review and update of the HACM Bylaws were the result of one of tasks on the Sustainability Plan issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD). Tom Gartner, counsel at Michael Best & Friedrich, explained that the Bylaws drafts included with the agenda are the same as the hard copies provided at the June 11th HACM Board Meeting, allowing the Commissioners time to review the drafts. The main additions clarify the relationships and responsibilities between HACM and its instrumentalities. Staff has heard from HUD that their initial impressions are that the changes made meet their requirements in the Sustainability Plan and believe they will have no objections to the amendments in the attached drafts.
Chair Hayslett thanked all those involved in the updates of HACM’s Bylaws. | ADOPTED | Pass | 4:0 |

| 0 | 2. | Housing Authority Resolution | Resolution approving amended and restated Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation for Travaux, Inc.
Minutes note: Ken Barbeau, HACM’s Interim Secretary-Executive Director, explained that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Sustainability Plan recommended an update to the Bylaws of each of HACM’s instrumentalities, one of which is Travaux, Inc. Tom Gartner, counsel at Michael Best & Friedrich, explained that the All-Changes-Accepted version of the Travaux Bylaws is correct, however the Redline has two or three words on the last page which didn’t get changed, but that said, the Commissioners could still advance the correct Bylaws. The main changes are related to ensuring the delineation of HACM’s and Travaux’s duties and responsibilities are consistent across both sets of Bylaws, as well as to making the structure of Travaux Inc., into a non-Member entity, which will make it easier for the staff to administer the organization. This then meant the Articles of Incorporation for Travaux, Inc. also had to be changed to remove the references to a Member entity. Staff has heard from HUD that they have no initial objections or changes to suggest to the amendments made in the attached drafts.
Mr. Barbeau added that the Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation for HACM’s other instrumentality, Crucible, Inc., are being amended and will match the changes made to Travaux’s documents. It is anticipated that the completed Crucible, Inc. amendments will be brought to the Board for the July 9th Board Meeting, and that staff will share this information with HUD in June’s Sustainability Plan update.
Chair Hayslett thanked all those involved in the updates of Travaux’s Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation.

| 0 | 3. | Housing Authority Resolution | Resolution approving an award of contract to The Organizational Leadership Edge for Executive Search Firm Services (Official Notice 58150)
Minutes note: Ken Barbeau, HACM's Interim Secretary-Executive Director, provided an overview to the Commissioners regarding the Request for Proposals for an Executive Search Firm and the evaluation process taken to review the respondents, as described in the attached summary. He added that the cost of the firm put forward to the Board would be 17% of the first year’s salary of the selected candidate, plus the travel-related expenses for the firm and all candidates.
Commissioners asked about the timeline for the process. Mr. Barbeau stated he believed that the agreement could be finalized as soon as the end of the week.
Vice Chair Gotzler thanked Chair Hayslett for her time, expertise and effort to steward this process, which has enabled such a complex task to have advanced so far in such a short time. She was also pleased to see former HUD Regional Administrator José Galvan involved with the selected firm and looks forward to his Midwestern insight.
Chair Hayslett is eager for the firm to look far, wide and in non-traditional ways to identify the best of the best candidate. She thanked those of the RFP Review Committee and looks forward to bringing together the Executive Search Committee which will identify and build strong relationships with community stakeholders and listen to a wide variety of input during the search.
Commissioner Yépez-Klassen thanked those involved in the RFP Review Committee for all of their work. | ADOPTED | Pass | 5:0 |
