Board Meeting Minutes

* Board Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month at Noon at the Housing Authority of Murray Main Office Conference Room.

John Resig: Chairman

Mr. Resig is a self-employed engineer. He has served on the Board for 28 years. Mr. Resig was
sent to Murray in 1945 by the U.S. Navy. He liked Murray so much, that after his discharge he
returned to Murray and has made it his home for over 50 years. Several people have asked John,
"Why Murray?" His answer has always been the same -- "Murray is large enough to take care of
me and small enough to be aware of me." Years ago he decided it was time to return
some of the good deeds to Murray's people. The first place to start was with the elderly and
disadvantaged. His experience with dealing with people and his desire to help others has led
John to a long tenure with the Housing Authority of Murray.

Ruth Daughaday: Vice-Chairman

Ruth Daughaday is a retired supervisor for the Cabinet for Family and Health Services
of the state of Kentucky, where she was employed for 30 years. Prior to that, she taught

Nelson Shroat

he came home to Murray and sought opportunities to give back to his home town.
