Before the meeting, a couple residents have <br /> commented (complained) that the -called "resident association leaders"are drawing up a letter � <br /> to Mr. Fish complaining about the rent increase. I reiterated at the meeting that Mr. Fish does <br /> not govern the rent---the management does, per the LIHTC program regulations. I've been in <br /> touch with Peabody Properties about this and given thea a heads up to this letter-that may be <br /> corning, despite what I've done. I spoke with the"resident association president'about ghat I <br /> had heard and expressed my disappointment that they were going to Mr. Fish on this, as no one <br /> i <br /> has asked for a meeting with me to discuss it, and they have not spoken to anyone else at <br /> Peabody Properties. It is just inappropriate to approach Mr. Fish on a matter like this, bort they <br /> seen intent on doing it. <br /> A reminder that I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow, Friday, May 8 and arm expected to be out <br /> for about -10 days afterwards. I'll be sure that the office is covered and Ill probably have some <br /> work sent borne to me, so that I don't fall far behind. <br /> brief discussion was had about the issues with MHIC and Mrs. Botsford reported that Sandra Blackman <br /> (MHIC) and try to coordinate a meeting for late May/Early June and hopefully we can all sit down face-to- <br /> face to address all of her concerns, <br /> OLD BUSINESS: <br /> BreeQ(.Acres Expansion Project; Mrs. Botsford stated that she contacted Ms. Masan about the deed for <br /> Breezy Acres.
