Board Of Commissioners
Housing Authorities are created by State statute. They are classified as a “Public Corporation” and, although not a government agency, serve as a public body.
In 1951, the Yamhill County Commissioners created the Housing Authority of Yamhill County (HAYC) to help provide housing for low and moderate-income residents. The Yamhill County Commissioners created a “Board of Commissioners” to oversee the Housing Authority.
The HAYC Board of Commissioners is made up of 5 local citizens appointed by the Yamhill County Commissioners. Each of the Commissioners serves a 5-year term of office with opportunity to be re-appointed for a second 5-year term. Exceptions to the term limits may be approved by the Yamhill County Commissioners. One of the HAYC Commissioners must be a person receiving direct assistance from the Housing Authority in the form of housing subsidy.
The terms of the Commissioners are set so that one member’s term expires each year. The list of current Commissioners is linked to this page.
The Board normally meets once each month on the fourth Tuesday. Special meetings are set when needed. Meetings are usually held at the HAYC offices but are occasionally held at other locations as announced in the public media. Board meeting agenda and minutes are available on this web for your review.
Annually, the Board and staff meet to establish and confirm long-range goals and to establish the goals for the coming year. The current and long-range goals are linked to this page.
