administered. Some f theit rr s f concern <br /> are around the solicitation of donations to the fund - who <br /> will do this and how? Ms. Allen asked Mr. White about getting funds first from local businesses and thea <br /> requesting the town match funds collected. Mrs. Botsford also expressed concern about the proposed <br /> volunteer assistance with tenant selection, household budget counseling, and ether tasks. She started <br /> that there needs to be a consistency in selecting tenants and this should be done only by the <br /> administrator. She also questioned whether the household budgeting was going to be a service offered <br /> or is it going to be required of the applicant recipient Is the administrator expected to do this as well? <br /> Mrs. Botsford stated that the projected administrative cast in Mr. white's proposal does not seam <br /> reasonable, either. Mr. Laporte expressed concern over the administrative burden, as Mrs. Botsford <br /> already has a let of responsibilities she is dealing with and they don't want her stretched tee thin. A few <br /> more comments and questions were raised and then a motion was made by Mr. Laporte and <br /> seconded by Ms. Allen to not get involved with this program at this time. Nor. Hors h <br /> abstained from the vote. The motion was adopted. <br /> OLD BUSINESS: <br /> Breezy Acres Expansion updt : Adrienne Danner from Housing Assistance Corporation was present t <br /> review the status of the project. It was noted that there are several items that need to be corrected in <br /> the application before it is resubmitted to 1HD on April 28. Ms. Danner and Mrs. Botsford have had <br /> conversations with DHCD about funding part of the expense to tie into the high school's waste water <br /> treatment facility. The biggest hurdle at this point is that DHD is going to require public bidding of that <br /> portion of the project. Ms. Danner is going to-get in torch with the town about accessing the DRI monies <br /> that have been held for affordable housing (with the Cape CodCommission) to see if we can use that <br /> money for this purpose. There was some frustration expressed with how slew things are moving and <br /> whether or not we should just go back to the drawing beard and construct something. Mrs. Botsford <br /> reminded the board that we have a Development Agreement with HAC that we have to honor which <br /> allows there until 2013 to close on the construction financing. Ms. Danner will complete the application <br /> for funding, make sure that the cover letter better explains what we are proposing, and submit it t <br /> DHCD by the due date (April 28, 2011). She will supply a copy of the application to Mrs. Botsford. <br /> M UNICATI 111 I F E P LADEN E: Mrs. Botsford stated that the board has been provided with a <br /> copy of the Property Management Review and cover letter from MassHousing, a copy of the auditor's <br /> report for the Asher"s Path 2010 audit, and a copy of a letter Mrs. Botsford sent to Senate President <br /> Therese Murray.
