Lawrence Housing Authority faces a review of its grievance procedures after Kevin Mayo, a maintenance supervisor fired amid claims of misconduct, wins a hearing and partial reinstatement.

The board also grants Huppee a 5 percent pay raise to 51 105 annually as the agency earns a high performer rating nationally.
