HAZLETON — Another member of the Zientek family might get a public
position, this time as an unpaid Housing Authority board member.
   
Hazleton Mayor Michael Marsicano has nominated Joanne Zientek, the wife of
Hazleton City Authority Manager Bob Zientek, to the Hazleton Housing
Authority.
    Joanne Zientek of Carson Street would replace Jill Moran, who resigned July
1.
   
Council is expected to vote on the nomination at Thursday’s regular council
meeting.
   
Marsicano hired Bob Zientek’s son, Robert Zientek, as a city police officer
in April.
   
In March, Bob Zientek’s stepson, Jeff Bean, was hired as a per diem
employee in the city’s highway department.
   
If appointed, Joanne Zientek’s Housing Authority term would expire in 2000.
She was also the city’s representative on the CAN-DO Board, but her term
expired June 30.
