Council hears housing-authority candidate and votes to enter closed session on personnel, attorney-client and labor matters
Summary
The council heard from Deborah Chiquito, a candidate for appointment to the Housing Authority of Salt Lake City, and later voted unanimously to go into a closed meeting to discuss character or competence of an individual, attorney-client matters and labor negotiations.
Deborah Chiquito joined the work session remotely to describe her background and interest in a Housing Authority board position. "My career I'm a social worker by career, and I, worked 20 years in the Utah State Prison, retired 3 years ago," Chiquito said, explaining her experience with residential reentry and transitional supports for people leaving the correctional system and her interest in multifaceted, sustainable housing solutions.
Councilmembers thanked Chiquito for volunteering and told her the administration will place her name on the consent agenda for the formal meeting that evening. Later in the work session Councilmember Wharton moved to go into a closed meeting to discuss "character, professional competence or physical or mental health of an individual, and attorney-client matters," and asked to add labor negotiations. Councilmember Dugan seconded the motion; the council voted unanimously in favor with one member absent.
The council adjourned the work session and reminded participants that the formal meeting would begin at 7 p.m.
