r Presentation On Neighborhood Apartment Manacters Association
Ms. Patricia W. Butler, Manager of Park Place Apartments and
Volunteer and President of Neighborhood Apartment Manager's
Association (NAMA) since 1990, gave a presentation on NAMA. Ms.
Butler discussed the importance of training apartment managers on
how to screen tenants and focus on safe, crime free rental
properties. The success rate at Park Place apartments has been
demonstrated using these various techniques by the 90% drop in
major violent crime. Tenants are also instructed to their rights
and the importance of blockwatch programs and working with the

Amendment To The Bylaws
A proposed rewrite to Section 102 of the Commission bylaws, dealing
with naming a Vice-Chairperson, was presented as requested by
Commissioner Horton. The Commission felt that this revision was
needed to ensure that there would always be an active Vice-
Chairperson and to follow the same term as the Chair. Staff
submitted a recommendation that the Vice-Chairperson be selected at
the last meeting before July to become effective July 1. After
reviewing staff recommendations, the Commission recommended a
change to the staff proposed to read as follows:
(SECTARY/HSGADVIS.COM/HAC994.MTG) 1
102. Vice-Chairperson
The Commission shall, at its first meeting
each January, AFTER THE BEGINNING OF THE FISCAL
YEAR, select a Vice-Chairperson from among its
appointed members who shall serve in the
absence of the Chairperson. THE TERM OF SERVICE
WILL BE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE
APPOINTMENT. The Vice-Chairperson shall be
eligible for reselection.
This change shall be placed on the next meeting agenda for
Commission approval.
The Commission felt another paragraph should be added to this
section as follows:
IN THE CASE OF REMOVAL OR REPLACEMENT OF THE VICE
CHAIRPERSON, THE COMMISSION SHALL SELECT A VICE-CHAIRPERSON
FROM AMONG ITS APPOINTED MEMBERS, TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE
FIRST MEETING FOLLOWING THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE VACANCY.
As stated in the bylaws, Section 401, this item will be placed on
the next meeting agenda for Commission review.
Increase In Voucher Payment Standards
-i Staff presented the need for increasing the voucher payment
standard to bring it in line with the fair market rents used by the

Section 8: vouchers and certificates. Glendale has 44 vouchers
and 665 certificates. The amount of rent for certificates is set
by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Rent for the

seconded by Helka, to recommend to Council the delegation of
authority to the City - Treasurer to approve voucher payment
standards increases to continually maintain the voucher payment
standard in line with the fair market rents. Motion carried
unanimously.
