HACC Lists Chynoweth as Member

Well, this is surprising after all the hubbub from earlier. From the News-Gazette:

Chynoweth to take her seat at last
The agenda for today’s meeting of the Housing Authority of Champaign County board lists Danielle Chynoweth as a board member — almost one month after the other members publicly stated that she was unfit to serve.

Chynoweth won’t be alone once the 3 p.m. meeting starts. She said a group of concerned citizens, business owners and Urbana Mayor Diane Marlin is attending after the rocky start to her first term as a HACC board member...

Cindi Herrera, the HACC interim director, said a final opinion on Chynoweth’s appointment will come from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s office of general council in Washington, D.C. The case was forwarded there by HUD’s Chicago office, and Herrera said she doesn’t know how long the decision will take...

In the meantime, both Herrera and Marlin agree that Chynoweth can recuse herself from any board votes that seem iffy.

“I think (Chynoweth) will be very careful to recuse herself from anything remotely connected to the Hamilton on the Park issue,” Marlin said. “Probably all real-estate items, just to be safe.”

The HACC has its monthly meeting today Thursday Feb. 22 at 3pm at the 205 W. Park Ave HACC office.
