3…11/28/07

                                    G. Bryant reported that a water pipe went in about 3 weeks ago and

                                    is a big 10-inch pipe.

                                    C. Andrews asked the ED to call the DPW to ask what’s going on

                                    in the area of that property.

                        E.         46 Harry Kemp Way:

                                    ED asked the State if there was any funding.  The realtor is sure

                                    that the family will sell two pieces of the property.  Surveyors are

                                    subdividing the lot.  C. Andrews feels that the PHA should sell

                                    951R and asked ED to advise Board.  Ed is looking for other

                                    dollars.

                        Motion by Cathy Reno-Brouillet to adjourn the meeting at 6:15 pm.
