Housing authority members bear the high responsibility of public trust which is rightfully expected from public officers. Members are entrusted with the custody of assets representing millions of dollars of public funds as well as administrative control of annual expenditures of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The custody and control of such public funds require each member to ensure that buildings, grounds and other assets are kept up to high standards so that their value is not impaired and that the annual operating expenditures are wisely and economically spent. Members must exercise judicious control of the premises entrusted in their care, including the use of community room and public spaces. In this regard, division policy does not permit community room and public spaces to be used for partisan political activities or sectarian religious purposes.
