Supervision Controls<\/h5>\n
The Executive Administrator may receive instructions from the Executive Director, Board of Commissioners, or other governing or regulatory agency. The Executive Administrator routinely works without the direction of the Executive Director and is free to develop methods, deadlines, priorities, and\/or objectives. When instructions are received, they are usually specific and detailed because they apply to unusual and rarely occurring situations. Other instructions are usually in the form of the Executive Director\u2019s or Boards directives or policy statements. Normally the Executive Administrator makes independent decisions pertaining to situations not covered by specific guidelines, but the Executive Director, BOC, or other employees are consulted in serious or unusual circumstances. The employee’s work is reviewed for progress and achievement of goals as appropriate to the circumstances.<\/p>\n
Under normal conditions, the Executive Administrator makes general assignments to department directors\/supervisors, specifying priorities, deadlines, and objectives. Assignments will include what is to be done, deadlines, quality, quantity, and priority.<\/p>\n

Responding to residents, staff members, the BOC, City officials, news media, Congressmen, and the public on a continuing basis necessitates great patience, tact, and diplomacy.

Personal Contacts<\/h5>\n
The Executive Administrator has contact with a broad range of individuals including: the news media; BOC; federal, state, and local government personnel; social service personnel; housing residents; the general public; various special interest groups; and all levels of Agency personnel. Most contacts with people outside the Agency are relatively unstructured and require tact and diplomacy on a routine basis.
