1 <br /> OLD BUSINESS: <br /> Breezy Acres Expansion/Great Cove Community Update: Mrs. Botsford gave the board ars update on the <br /> progress that has been made. Breezy Acres project(Septic Tie in) is moving along right on schedule. <br /> Everything should be done by the end of October. Mrs. Botsford regularly attends the construction <br /> meetings. <br /> Great Cove Community is right on schedule as well. All foundations have been poured and framing has <br /> started. Substantial completion is still on track for April 2014. It was decided that instead of doing a <br /> ground-breaking ceremony vire would do a ribbon-cutting before we open. <br /> So that vire can manage the property, Mrs. Botsford is required to take a refresher course for Fair Housing <br /> before the property opens. Spectrum offers them, but there is not one being offered locally before the <br /> project opens. Mrs. Botsford will continue to look for other training sessions available. <br /> Torn land available futureplans: Mrs. Botsford had forwarded board members Susan Connelly's email <br /> from MHP. She wasn"t very encouraging about our plan to purchase/rehab units. Since then, Mrs. <br /> Botsford stated that she has been encouraged by Joyce Mason to do a presentation to the Selectmen in <br /> order to get their blessing/permission to request a feasibility study on the Falmouth Road Property. Torn <br /> F dala provided-some information o�x the property(which is actually rade,up of 3 towp-owned parcels) <br /> which Mrs. Botsford has forwarded to Susan for her input. <br /> Since the trend seers to be that housing authorities are creating non-profits to do work, Mrs. Botsford <br /> decided to look into the status of the Mashpee Affordable Housing Trust, the authority's non-profit that <br /> was semi-active about 8 years ago. The M HT was never officially dissolved so it can be used. Annual <br /> reports Form PCs) would need to be filed for 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 and a fee paid in order to get <br /> everything up-to-date. The board discussed the pros and cons of reactivating the non-profit, forming a <br /> new board, and what the non-profit could do. A notion was made by Ms. Allen and seconded by i <br /> Mfr, Shackett to authorize $2,000.00 from our Ash is Path savings account to be transferred <br /> to an account for the Mfashpee Affordable Housing Trust, and that Mfrs. Botsford file the <br /> required reports and pally the fees to get everything up to date. The motion was adopted. <br /> On the subject of future plans, Mrs. Botsford advised the board that both Wareham and Brewster Housing <br /> Authorities had advertised for either an Executive Director or a Management Company last month. She <br /> spoke with the chairperson and a letter was sent to both expressing our interest in being considered t <br /> manage the authorities (copies of both were provided to all board members). Mrs. Botsford beard from <br /> Wareham Housing Authority yesterday and has an interview scheduled for Wednesday, September 18. <br /> She has heard that a lot of people/housing authorities have applied for both positions, so nothing may <br /> come of it but it is worth applying. The board discussed at length the benefits of being able to expand in <br /> this way and all agreed that increasing staff/time would be necessary if we are selected to manage one <br /> or both of therm. Mrs. Botsford will keep everyone posted. <br /> NEIN BUSINESS: <br /> Breezy Acres Septic Tie-in Change order #1 and Change order 2: Mrs. Botsford provided members <br /> with information on two change orders that needed to be done for the Septic Tie In project. Board vote <br /> is needed before they can be seat for approval to DH D. After review and some discussion, a motion <br /> was made by Ms. Allen and seconded by Mfr, Shackett to approve both change orders and <br /> submit to DHCD for final approval.The motion was adopted. <br /> Bank Account openings: Mrs. Botsford informed the board that, as directed, she deposited the ,000.00 <br /> land lease payment from Great Cove Communities into a bank account. It is a money market account at <br /> .1010. The bank needs signature cards signed for this account. Additionally, since no vote was ever <br /> formally taken, Mrs. Botsford is requesting a vote to affirm the fact that the board approved the opening <br /> of this account, the Housing Assistance Program Checking revolving checking account and the sher's <br /> Page 3 of <br />
