Housing &Redevelopment Authority <br /> o <br /> Pequot Lakes <br /> �-c West Grove Townhomes•Sibley Terrace•Parkview I&II*AlpineApts. <br /> September 12, 2008 <br /> To: Pequot Lakes Housing Authority <br /> Board of Commissioners <br /> I am writing to inform the Board members of my decision to resign my position as <br /> Executive Director of the HRA effective January 1, 2009, and Jim's decision to retire <br /> from the maintenance/caretaker position on that same date. We felt that by sending you <br /> this letter individually, you would have time to consider the change for the HRA prior to <br /> our meeting on September 16, 2008. <br /> It is my hope that the Board will begin the process of transitioning to new staff,through a <br /> discussion of all factors that will impact the operation of the Housing Authority. As a <br /> Board who is ultimately responsible for maintaining the standards of three different <br /> Federally-funded projects as well as a project bonded through Crow Wing County, the <br /> selection of new staff should be a thorough and involved process. I strongly urge the <br /> Board to begin discussions to address the personnel policy,job descriptions, the hiring <br /> process, and training of new personnel. I have spoken to HUD and they are aware of my <br /> leaving. They have expressed to me the importance of having a thorough and detailed <br /> plan for hiring new personnel. <br /> It is with mixed feelings that I leave my position, having dedicated thirty-three years of <br /> my life to one job. I have thoroughly enjoyed being your Executive Director and <br /> working with the current Board members and those of years past. I have strived to <br /> provide the community with affordable housing that serves its needs and to maintain a <br /> level of standard for the operations of all projects under the Housing Authority. I will <br /> especially miss working with the wonderful tenants I have met along the way. <br /> kteL1121 <br /> aron low <br /> Cc: Mayor Cathy Malecha <br /> Pequot Lakes City Council <br /> 31203 N Oak St.P.O.Box 243 •Pequot Lakes,MN 56472 •218-568-4555•218-568-8968(Fax) •pequotlakes.govoff ice.com <br />
