Council approves new terms for 3 OHA board members

At the October 14 meeting, the Olney City Council unanimously approved the reappointment of three Olney Housing Authority (OHA) board members: Diana Kunkel, Shirley Jeter, and Bridget Spears.

Rick Dinwiddie, director of the OHA, appeared before the Council to discuss the upcoming board vacancies.

“Their terms are up for renewal, and all three have expressed their desire to continue serving,” Dinwiddie said during the meeting. He added that the OHA, which oversees local housing initiatives, is composed of five board members who serve twoyear terms.

Mayor Rogers asked Dinwiddie to convey the Council’s gratitude to the board members for their dedication and ongoing service to the community.

The OHA manages affordable housing for residents of Olney, and is overseen by a five-member board that also includes Sanford Heard and Valerie Stroud.
