Page 3 <br />OCHA 2014 Report <br />02/03/2015 <br />Our struggle to operate as a board cannot be overstated. Following the retirement of <br />one board member and the loss of two others due to lack of attendance (one new <br />board member never appeared at all), we were forced to cancel several monthly <br />board meetings for lack of quorum. How to confront this problem and our attempts <br />to mitigate its consequences took an unfortunately significant amount of time for <br />Mr. Davis and myself. <br />Takeaway: In the future, if faced with this type of issue, we will reach out to the <br />Chair of the County Commissioners (and staff) for assistance much sooner. <br />• We have begun efforts to secure an HCV participant as a board member (as required <br />by HUD) and hope to have a recommendation for the Board of Commissioners' <br />review and approval in the first quarter of 2015. With a more complete complement <br />of board members in 2015, we hope to do more. <br />We welcome your feedback and guidance as to how we can better serve Orange County in <br />this important capacity of providing citizen oversight for the Housing Choice Voucher <br />program. We look forward to a productive and progressive year ahead. <br />
