My 2¢ - Increasing Tenant Representation on Housing Authority & Against Corporate Naming Rights from Silver Persinger.

At this meeting, I spoke on two occasions. I spoke in opposition to Resolution 2010-R140, which designates only one of the new Commissioners on the RRHA Board as a tenant representative. My desire is that both of the additional new members be tenant representatives, thus giving tenants 1/3 representation on the board. I also spoke in opposition to Resolution 2010-R145 which ask CAO Byron Marshall to prepare a study on the feasibility of selling corporate naming rights for City facilities.
