Attachment A: ANNUAL REPORT of THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR June2006-May 2007 Staffladministration Alice Eld has remained my part-time assistant 10 hours per week) and continues to be a professional, courteous, and dependable employee. As things get busier, I will be training Alice on and handing over a couple of my responsibilities and increase her hours if the budget allows). Vincent Gault was hired last year as our permanent Maintenance Laborer, with part time hours of 1 hours per week.. Vincent is an extremely talented, professional, conscientious, dependable employee who is well-liked by everyone. Unfortunately, Vincent needed full time work and accepted a job with a local school. He was interested in staying on with the authority (for about to hours per week) in the hopes that a full-time position here would come available with us in the future. The difference in his hours (8 hours/week) was made up by me and the arrangement has worked well. I do light maintenance, gardening, landscaping, and cleaning and Dandle the emergencies that come up when Vincent is unavailable. when the construction of Ashees Patin is complete, it is my hope (and his as well) that Vincent will be hired as the full time maintenance person and handle all of our properties. Both employees have had their annual evaluations done. In addition to staff supervision, I continue to be responsible for the full management of both properties and administer all of the rental assistance programs for a total caseload of approximately 10clients.
