Mayor’s office assigns liaison and IT clarifies city‑email rules for housing commissioners
Summary
The mayor’s office designated Daley Burnett as liaison to the commission, and IT clarified city‑owned email accounts cannot be used by non‑employees; Burnett offered to forward commission email and set automatic forwards to commissioners’ preferred addresses. Commissioners also discussed pending mayoral appointments to fill three vacancies.
The commission received a mayor’s office update and clarification from the city’s IT practice: Daley Burnett, chief of staff to the mayor, will serve as the commission’s city liaison, and IT rules prevent non‑city employees from sending or receiving mail from city‑owned email addresses.
Commission members said the mayor’s office had provided a candidate name for one vacancy; three total vacancies remain. The chair said appointments will be forwarded to the Board of Aldermen for ratification and that the mayor is continuing to recruit candidates.
Daley Burnett explained the email limitation and offered a solution: he will retain access to the official housing‑commission email address and can send messages on commissioners’ behalf and set automatic forwarding so incoming messages are routed to each commissioner’s preferred personal or professional email. Burnett asked commissioners to send him their preferred addresses so the IT department can enable automatic delivery.
Commissioners said the office will provide notice two weeks before nominations are scheduled for a Board of Aldermen vote and that they appreciated having a mayor’s office point of contact for scheduling and administrative assistance.
