Jerry Volpe, a purchasing consultant to the troubled Atlantic City Housing Authority, may get another increase in the amount of money he will be paid for his services at Thursday s board meeting.
Two weeks after the new Atlantic City Housing Authority executive director slammed the agency over its procurement practices over the past year, the authority board is now preparing to terminate his contract only months after Matthew Doherty began in the job.
The Atlantic City Housing Authority spent nearly a half-million dollars on two administrative consultants over the past year and continued to keep them on the payroll through the summer despite the addition of new permanent staff in the same roles.
