City renames department to Housing and Community Services; announces new chief housing official
Summary
Staff announced Community Resources has been reorganized and renamed Housing and Community Services and that Marley Stark is serving as the new chief housing official (director); staff said current funding is unaffected by a government shutdown.
Speaker 2 announced a departmental restructuring: the city has renamed Community Resources to Housing and Community Services and has appointed Marley Stark as the new chief housing official (director). The assistant director position was referenced but not named in the transcript.
"The chief official, Marley Stark, is our new director," Speaker 2 said and indicated Stark was unable to attend the meeting but would be introduced at a future session. Speaker 2 also said the department is operating normally.
On broader funding risk, Speaker 2 addressed the federal government shutdown, stating current operations are not affected because the department is working with existing funds; any future impact depends on the duration of the shutdown. "Currently, the government shutdown has not impacted us because we have existing funding that we're currently using," Speaker 2 said.
Speaker 2 said the department will continue routine functions and that the change in name reflects an internal restructuring rather than an immediate change in services. The meeting continued with scheduling and other administrative items and adjourned at 06:13.
