Mr. Savage: <br />The thing is, like Dewayne said, it was voted on and it was <br />approved so the only other issue, the only way you can go back <br />and reverse something like that is to find something wrong. So if <br />we don't find anything wrong with the way it was done then we <br />can't go back and reverse anything. So that's going to be the issue <br />at hand. If there is something wrong, then I'm sure everybody here <br />will agree, and then we will go back and look at it. But if we don't <br />find anything substantial and somebody says this hiring was done <br />wrong then we need to go to the next step. But if we don't have <br />that then how can we even act on this. <br />Ms. Cherry: <br />I'm not saying act on it right now. What I'm saying is according to <br />that training video, it wasn't done right. So what the board decides <br />to do about it is the board. <br />Mr. Savage: <br />So what do you want done. <br />Ms. Cherry: <br />I certainly want in the future, job openings be announced to the <br />public. <br />Mr. Savage: <br />Any other should be determined subject to the laws of the State of <br />Texas. So you're saying we should go by the laws of the state of <br />Texas that pertains to this hiring of the Housing Authority or <br />wherever. <br />Ms. Cherry: <br />It was on the board training it was only regarding executive <br />directors and administration, administrative and all that, but in my <br />opinion any job should be made available to public you know. <br />Mr. Savage: <br />Are you saying going forward with this? Your saying going <br />forward? <br />Ms. Cherry: <br />Well I still want to know if that was done correctly or not. <br />Mr. Savage: <br />Would the board, it's only a discussion so there is no action needed <br />to be taken, but we can agree would ya'll agree to let me get with <br />Sally to go back and dig, or anybody else can dig if you find <br />anything, but to get with her and whoever and wherever or go to <br />the Attorney General's office touch base with them on the hiring <br />process and get something specific. I don't like broad stuff and we <br />can talk about it all day. I want to find something specific that <br />pertains to the hiring practices of the Housing Authority board. <br />Would ya'll agree to let us find some information on that and then <br />come back here in the September Meeting, and I don't know if it's <br />legal but maybe we could forward it to ya'll if we find out <br />something. <br />Ms. Hearn: <br />I agree to go over the training video again. <br />Mr. Savage: <br />I will go over it again too. <br />Ms. Hearn: <br />I understand what Ms. Cherry is saying that she wants it to be open <br />to the public so that everybody has a shot at it. <br />Mr. Dangerfield: <br />I agree as well. But, the board thought that she was better qualified <br />and running a whole lot of things already very well and she was <br />trying to work with people and I know that she could have just set <br />them out there on the street and she took the time out to work with <br />them. So by her being herself, we the board just felt like she was <br />qualified to be that person to take over because she was agreeable <br />with everybody else. <br />7 <br />
