Will Boone County Chairman Walberg nominate S. Anthony Gould to the Housing Authority Board?

Boone County Housing Authority made a few head lines in 2008/2009.  Allegation and facts showed some of the following:  failure to have books audited by a CPA for multiple years when such is required by federal law;  questionable housing vouchers to individuals who may have not really been county residents; contracting services with individuals related to the administrator. After these allegations became public the administrator resigned and a new administrative team from Winnebago County took control of daily operations of  the Housing Authority.  The Boone County Housing Authority is still controlled by a Board of Commissioners, all appointed by the Boone County Board Chairman (with the advise and consent of the Boone County Board).   There now is a vacancy on that board.

Since February 2010 Boone County invited applications for the position of Commissioner of the Boone County Housing Authority.  The closing date for application for that post was March 26, 2010.   Only one person has applied—S. Anthony Gould of Poplar Grove.  To date,  Mr. Walberg has not announced his selection.

Below is the Freedom of Information Request which verify Mr. Gould’s application.  Click on the photocopy to enlarge.
