Clem & Deb Realty Trust – update

A response from David J. Hedison, a consultant, was read to the Board regarding the validity of the figures provided.  After a great deal of discussion it was decided that Town Counsel should pursue this matter with the attorney representing ClemDeb Realty Trust.

 

Motion:  Tim Hazel made a motion to send a letter from Dan Hill which would state that the Board is totally reluctant to grant any reduction in the affordable housing units until the applicant pursues financing as suggested by David Hedison, and asking him to forward the letter to Clem’s attorney.  Arturo Alon seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

Any other business that shall properly come before the Board.

Eileen Kennedy has applied to become a member of the Board in the alternate position.  She wrote a letter referring to her past experiences and her willingness to join the Board.  It was decided to invite her to the next meeting so everyone could meet her and so that she could see what the Board was like.
