Adams Housing Authority Seeking Commissioner
By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — Adams Housing Authority Board of Commissioners is in need of a member.
Executive Director William Schrade notified the Board of Selectmen of the opening last month and returned at its request last week to explain the commission's responsibilities.
"The state has asked us to reach out and go every avenue we can to try to find people who might be willing to serve for the state appointee," he reminded the board. "If the state does not appoint someone within 120 days, it falls into the role the Board of Selectmen to be able to choose that person with no input, obviously, from our Board of Commissioners or or myself."
The three major duties of the authority's board is to monitor the annual budget, set policy and hire and fire the executive director.
There are five members, three elected by the town, one appointed by the Selectmen and one by the governor.
The Selectmen's appointee is the tenant representative and must be a resident of the authority. The board appointed the most recent tenant representative last spring.
The seat is the governor's appointment with a term of five years. Any Adams resident interested can apply online here or contact Schrade at 413-743-5924.
Town officials are exploring steps to bring forward a public safety building project that could include fire, police and ambulance situated on the parking lot at the Community House.
