PROCEDURED .
The Commissioners pursued a lengthy
discussion about the panel composition
for formal hearings. Commissioner
Ward stated that he felt the hearing panel should be composed solely of
Santa Ana residents. He further recommended that membership be drawn
exclusively from the city's Housing Advisory Commission due to it's
familiarity with city housing programs and needs, Commissioner Bricken
further supported Commiss~oner Ward's position, adding that he felt that
the Commission should make a statement that Satna Ana citizens can take
care of their own affairs. In response to Chairman Luxembourger's request
for staff comment, Mr, Goblirsch stated that staff is concerned that the
panel be tenant related so as to insure impartiality in hearing the tenant's
side of the complaint, and that panel members be available during the
working day to convene. Staff has experienced problems~in the pa~t and
feels that it would be difficult to get three members of the Housing
Advisory Commission together during the day to hold a hearing. Commissioner
Griset suggested that the grievance procedure items be continued to
allow the Commission to study the ramif~cations of the hearing panel.
