CRHA elects new chair and vice chair; board adopts two recognition resolutions
Summary
At its regular meeting, the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority elected a new chair and vice chair by roll call and approved two resolutions honoring departing commissioners Dr. Wes Bellamy and Dr. Laura Goldblatt.
The Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority elected new leadership and adopted two recognition resolutions at its regular meeting (date not specified).
Commissioners nominated and elected a vice chair and a chair by roll call. Commissioner Wicks moved to nominate Commissioner Rodales for vice chair; Commissioner Payne seconded the motion, which the board approved by unanimous roll call. The board then nominated and approved Bridget O'Rourke as chair; the motion was seconded and the vote carried with no opposition.
In addition to the leadership elections, the board adopted two resolutions recognizing departing commissioners. CRHA Resolution 14-90 honored Dr. Wes Bellamy for his service to CRHA, noting his appointment beginning in September 2022 and his role as chair since July 2023. The board adopted CRHA Resolution 14-91 recognizing Dr. Laura Goldblatt for her service beginning in May 2019 and for her work as treasurer and committee member. During consideration of Resolution 14-91, a board member pointed out that the resolution used the wrong pronouns; the board agreed to correct the pronoun usage in the text.
The leadership elections and the resolutions were handled as routine business during the meeting; no additional policy actions or budget allocations accompanied the votes. The board did not take other formal votes tied to ordinance or contract actions at this time.
The board congratulated the newly elected chair and vice chair and signaled that staff would prepare any necessary formal documentation for the adopted resolutions.
