Due to the absence of a quorum normal business scheduled was not conducted. Board members present did discuss several matters; no votes taken.

Change of Meeting Date: Because Commissioner Bryant has been unable to attend PHA meetings because of a conflict with another committee, Board agreed to look into change of meeting to the fourth Wednesday of the month. ED to contact Commissioner Alon to see if this is acceptable. If so, Regular Meetings of the PHA Board will be moved to fourth Wednesdays.

Re-Surfacing Access Road to Court Street Unit: Board members discussed re-surfacing of access to Court Street road on which a Family Unit is located. The road is shared by two other property owners who propose that costs be divided equally three ways. Estimates for grading and re-surfacing have been obtained by one of those residents. The PHA share, if lowest estimate is accepted, will be app. $1000.00.

M. Carroll-Bergman said no decision could be made on this matter without the vote of the Board. Further discussion and vote tabled until next meeting.

State Audit: ED advised that the State auditors have completed audit. Based on discussion with head auditor it appears that the Authority is in full compliance with State requirements. Audit examined all financial and operational procedures. A formal written report of audit will be forthcoming.

Community Preservation Committee: N. Jacobsen, the PHA rep on the CPC, asked Board Chair and ED for clarification on the priorities of the CPC. It is their understanding that priority is for one-bed rental units. ED suggested that reference back to the CP Act might be helpful, as mission and goals laid out therein.
