Re: Housing Commissioner attendance
A letter was sent to your office, from the Housing Commission, dated 28 March,
advising of the attendance issue regarding Dan Teply. As of that date, Mr Teply
had attended only one Commission meeting since his appointment in August 00.
Your office responded by requesting the Commission to contact Mr Teply and
attempt to resolve this issue. Accordingly, I contacted Mr Teply by phone, in
April. In that conversation, Mr Teply stated that his work hours regularly
conflicted with Commission meeting times but that he had made arrangements to
be able to more regularly attend the meetings. At the May Commission meeting,
I reported this conversation; Mr Teply was not in attendance. As a result, the
Commission directed me to send a letter to Mr Teply, requesting additional
information regarding his availability, and requesting him to consider his
resignation.
Mr Teply did not respond to that letter. Further, he has to-date only attended one
meeting - in November 00 - since his appointment last August.
At its July meeting, the Housing Commission again considered this matter and
directed that this correspondence be sent to your office, requesting that Mr Teply
be replaced as a Commissioner.

The Housing Commission met today and again discussed your situation. I reported on our phone
conversation, in which you stated that you have difficulty attending Commission meetings due to
conflicts with job responsibilities.
The Commission directed that I contact you and request that you respond in writing to their
concerns. Particularly, it is requested that you provide additional information to the Commission
regarding your availabElity to attend the monthly meetings. It was also suggested that, in the
event it will continue to be all, cult for you to regularly attend, that you consider offering your
resignation, to the City Council
IfI can provide you any additional information, please call.
