From a Times Staff Writer
Los Angeles Mayor James K. Hahn has named the former head of the El Paso housing authority to head the city’s troubled Housing Authority.
Rudolf Monteil, who was in charge of the $70-million El Paso agency for three years, will head a $500-million housing authority that manages more than 45,000 housing units and housing vouchers.
The authority is under investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office for alleged financial mismanagement.
Monteil will earn $225,000 a year, the mayor’s office said.
