Board approves resolution delegating DocuSign authority to executive and interim directors
Summary
The board authorized the executive director and acting interim director to sign state funding documents electronically after board approval of acceptance; the delegation is intended to streamline reimbursements.
The Northampton Housing Authority approved resolution 202504 to delegate electronic signature authority, via DocuSign, to the executive director and the acting interim director for processing state funding documents after board approval.
The board chair and staff described the measure as an administrative convenience that speeds reimbursements from the Commonwealth; the chair said the executive director cannot accept state monies without prior board approval but that an assigned signer eases the administrative process. The resolution’s text authorized the executive and interim director to “take all actions necessary and proper for media implementation” as read during the meeting.
Commissioner Tarbutin asked whether the board or chair approves before the signature is applied; staff clarified that the board must vote to accept funds at a meeting, and only after that vote may the executive director and chair sign to transmit documents to the state. The resolution passed unanimously.
