them. I'm not going to just sit and rubberstamp the thing. I'm not doing it. If I feel something is wrong then I'm going to talk about it. Now if I'm wrong for doing that then I'll just have to get kicked off the board. But there's, I do not believe that we are just suppose to sit and trust, not that I don't trust you, but I don't believe that that's what we are suppose to do. Mr. Savage: That's not what I meant. Ms. Cherry: You have to have oversight. You have to look at what's going on, because then why even bother having the board. Mr. Savage: That was not what I was saying. You do have the right to come and put something on the agenda. What I'm saying is there is a fine line between micro management and not that you are doing that now, we are just discussing the director's position and there is a fine line between micro management and the one that we are supposed to do. That's why I asked for the training, that's why I asked for this to be put on here so we will know exactly what we are supposed to do and that's why I want it so soon. Ms. Cherry: It's up to us to vote on the executive director, correct? Mr. Savage: Yes. Ms Cherry: Why in the world, how is that micro managing. Mr. Savage: I didn't say that was micro managing. No, that's not what I'm saying. Ms. Cherry: Well, that's what it sounds like. Mr. Savage: I'm sorry I may have misspoken or said it in that way, but that's not what I meant. We have to vote on the executive director. Mr. Dangerfield: And we had a full quorum before you come in and she come in. We had a deal and everybody voted. Ms. Cherry: I understand that. Ms. Cherry: Problem is that it didn't go out broad. The thing about it is that that type job has to be announced and it wasn't. Mr. Savage: It looks like, I don't know the complete answer on that, but that none of us sitting here really knows because these bylaws are so vague on that. Do you think we need to table this and come up with, because I know what you're saying but what your saying does that apply to the Housing Authority board? We don't' know. What I'm saying, does it apply, I don't know. We need to get a conclusive answer. I can't say that we hired her right but you can't say that we hired her wrong. You can say it and I can say what I say but where is it written either way. So I still think we are at a deadlock or we are still at a position where we really don't know. So really, we need to come back with some, if we need to consult a lawyer then we can do that. But we need to come back with some conclusive evidence one way or the other. That's what I think. Somebody else might have a different opinion. Mrs. Ruthart: Everything I looked up is like the bylaws, its vague it just says that the board has to select an executive director. It doesn't say. This is what I found this morning, the roles of a PHA board of commissioners and its executive director. The Roles of the PHA Board and this is from HUD, Board of Commissioners are responsible for PHA Operations including by laws, policies and 5
