suggestion was to Torn Joy our Fee Accountant to print out a hard copy of the General Ledger <br /> at the end of every Fiscal Year. He will be doing that. <br /> OLD BUSINESS: <br /> Town land available for development: Ms. Allen and Mr. Halpern reported that they did meet with the <br /> Town Planner and he recommends a let at the corner of Old Barnstable Toad and Lowell Toad for <br /> affordable housing development. The lot is approximately 3 acres and they don't believe that there aro <br /> any tine issues. There is an issue with an endangered turtle which may require about 0% of the <br /> property to be set aside as open space. After a brief discussion it was decided that Mrs. Botsford send a <br /> request to the Selectmen requesting this piece of land for housing authority development. Ms. Allen <br /> stated that she would get the Map & Parcel number to Mrs. Botsford in order to include that information <br /> in the request. <br /> Breezy Acres Expansion Project: Mrs. Botsford advised the board that she did attend the CPAC meeting <br /> with the consultants and the CPAC made it clear that although they liked the presentation they did not <br /> have another $450,000 available to them. The consultants did file a preliminary applicatlon on behalf of <br /> the housing authority for Barnstable County HOME funds and we've received a letter from them indicating <br /> that there would be very strong interest on the part of the HOME Consortium. Mrs. Botsford stated that <br /> she has seat a letter to the Community Preservation Act Committee updating there on this and revising <br /> our request in funding. Mrs. Botsford reported that she had a meeting at Mass Housing Partnership, <br /> which was also attended by the consultants and representatives from DH D. Given the amount of <br /> funding and mixed finance available, MHP and DHCD thinly we should proceed with the family units. <br /> DHD will probably not fund the Chapter 689 Special needs/DMR housing at this time,, due to budget <br /> constraints. Mrs. Botsford stated that the board now has to decide how to proceed and that basically- <br /> there were two options: one to proceed with the housing authority being the developer and the second <br /> option would be to dispose of that portion of the property through an RFP. After discussing the options, <br /> a motion was made by Nor. Laporte and seconded by Mr. Harsch that the housing authority <br /> move forward with disposing of that portion of the property by issuing an RFP for production <br /> of family rental units. The notion carried. <br /> NEW BUSINESS: <br /> Fee Accountant Contract Renewal: Ms. Botsford reported that it was time to renew Mr. Jo "s contract for <br /> accounting services. The new contract being offered to him allows for the housing authority to negotiate <br /> additional services once the housing authority tabes over management of Asher's Path Apartments. After <br /> a brief discussion, a notion was Meade by Mr. Halpern and seconded by 1r. Laporte that the <br /> housing authority renew Thomas Joy's contract for a period two years. The motion curried. <br /> Review of goals: Executive Director Evaluation: As decided at Mrs. Botsford's evaluation last year, the <br /> board reviewed the progress of the goals set forth in her evaluation. All gals were individually reviewed <br /> and it was decided that goad progress is bung made wherever possible. The board also decided to <br /> eliminate Goal #3: Get more CPA for Rental Assistance Program, A full evaluation is set for November <br /> 2009. <br /> Staff Bonuses: The board discussed the option of awarding staff~bonuses before the holiday season. <br /> After a discussion, a motion was made by Ms. Allen and seconded by Mr. Laporte to disperse <br /> bonuses as follows: $1,000 to Ms. Botsford, $800 to Mr, Gault, $800 to Ids. Eld, and $400 to <br /> #s. thenard. The notion carried. <br /> OTHER BUSINESS: <br /> -2 - <br />
