Law Director Dubelko: 1) On March 15, provided a memorandum to Fair Housing Review Board asking that they appoint Asst. Law Director Heyward the Administrator for the Fair Housing Review Board. Ms. Heyward has been working with the city far 7-8 months, and she has done an excellent job in fair housing. She has a tremendous background in it, and it made no sense for him to simply hold the title of Administrator when she is actually doing the work. 2) March 17, provided legal opinions on the subjects of resignation of elected officials and longevity. March 26, provided a legal opinion on the subject of restrictive distribution of documents at public meetings. All are posted on the city's website. 3) The Prosecutor handled 224 cases in March.
