PHA Website was completed and is up and running - www.paristxha.com. Ms. <br />Cherry asked if Meeting Agendas/Notices will be placed on the website. Mrs. <br />Ruthart agreed that would be a good idea and will do that in the future. <br />Reminded all Board Members of November 6"' meeting for public comments on <br />policy changes. <br />Social Media Policy — Ms. Cherry asked if a lawyer was consulted for this policy. <br />Mrs. Ruthart explained that she got it from the THA website. Ms. Cherry also <br />stated that she noticed that Board Members were added to the Policy. Mrs. <br />Ruthart explained that was a recommendation by an attorney. Ms. Cherry asked if <br />the PHA hired an attorney. Mrs. Ruthart stated that No she didn't hire an attorney, <br />that she talked to and emailed an attorney about this policy. Ms. Cherry stated that <br />it was her understanding that you talked to an attorney about having me removed <br />from the Board. Mr. Savage said no. Ms. Cherry asked that never happened. Mr. <br />Savage said no. Ms. Cherry asked nobody talked to an attorney about having me <br />removed from the Board. Mr. Savage stated no one talked to an attorney about <br />having you removed from the Board. Ms. Cherry asked if there were discussions <br />about having her removed from the Board. Mr. Savage stated that some people <br />had objections to some of the comments on Ms. Cherry's website. Ms. Cherry <br />stated which were comments that LD Ruthart made. Mr. Savage stated that he <br />hadn't talked to LD. Ms. Cherry stated that she found it interesting that there's no <br />big problem with the comments that LD Ruthart made, who is a housing <br />authority government employee, no problem with that, but there is a problem with <br />it being talked about. And she stated that she doesn't understand that. Mr. Savage <br />stated that he thought that we all found what he put on that site offensive. Ms. <br />Cherry stated that everyone was laughing and giggling, yes that's how it was. Mr. <br />Savage stated no. Ms. Cherry said that to her it looks like there are private <br />meetings being held outside the Board and that's not supposed to be. There's <br />always supposed to be transparency. We are a Board and it's not like one Board <br />Member has executive power. When there is a meeting to discuss, when I talked <br />about you, I did it with the Board. I didn't go and try to have any secret meetings, <br />and that's the way it's supposed to work. Housing Authority business is suppose <br />to be done with all the Board Members present. Mr. Savage stated if you call up <br />here and you talk to Sally you are going to explain your views or if you want to be <br />placed on the agenda, you are going to explain it, same with me or Dewayne or <br />Mrs. Braswell or whoever. Also, coming out of the last meeting, ya'll directed me <br />and Sally to seek information about this policy. Ms. Cherry stated no, we did not <br />talk about any authority; it would be in the minutes if we did. Mr. Savage, yes we <br />did. Ms. Cherry stated we never talked about hiring an attorney because we would <br />have talked about which attorney, how much he is going to be paid, and what's he <br />being hired for. To me, to go and seek the assistance of an attorney it goes against <br />the policy, Open Meetings Act. Mr. Savage stated we did talk about that; it might <br />not have been the last meeting but the meeting before. Ms. Cherry stated we did <br />not talk about going and hiring an attorney. Mrs. Ruthart stated we did not hire an <br />attorney. Ms. Cherry stated we did not talk about getting the assistance of an <br />attorney. One member cannot decide to hire an attorney. Mr. Savage said it wasn't <br />my decision. We all talked about that, it was in open discussion. Ms. Cherry <br />stated that she didn't hear it. I want the recording that has that on it then.
