Travis County Commissioners Court
November 9, 2004
Item 51
Let's take mr. Davis' item. It ought to be pretty fast. And that is number
51, consider and take appropriate action on request of -- request to appoint
additional board members to the strategic housing finance corporation. E indicated
we would appoint two. That would give them an odd number of seven. So it would
be two of the three that we had that were interested and all of these have
indicated a willingness to serve.
>> that's my understanding, yes, sir.
>> I asked mr. Davis to prepare a side by side comparison
and it has the three with their employment experience and several awards and
community summary. Those [inaudible].
>> that's correct. Tom dunlap and craig alter. I think craig
is somewhat known by the board of directors of the Travis County housing finance
corporation because he's worked on two bond projects that were -- have both
been very successful.
>> do we think mr. Dunlap won't mind be on standby in case
we need him in the future?
>> I would -- he would not mind, I’m sure.
>> move we appoint craig alter and joe albert feramos.
>> second.
>> discuss? And I thank mr. Dunlap for his interest if this
passes and tell him basically -- I don't think we ought to go to eight. I
think seven would be a real good number, but I’m looking for two who would
be not only great contributors to the corporation but also who would keep
us posted on developments and maybe see a greater need to communicate with
us than the other five members of the board who really have a whole lot of
other responsibilities. The good thing about these two is they will not have
the routine housing authority duties and responsibilities to try to meet in
addition to these. It will just about this corporation and really -- be this
corporation. And right now it's only this, but right now it's starting off
kind of slowly so I see their time requirement really sort of building with
the program.
>> right.
>> and -- any more discussion of that? We do appreciate mr.
Dunlap, though, and the way these have been going, he will have an opportunity
to probably assist with this program before it's over.
>> I will communicate that to him. Thank you.
>> thank you for your work too. All in favor? That passes
by unanimous vote.
>> thank you.
