Mrs. Botsford will contact Mr. Grosser. <br /> Q. Caroline Wqy Domingo Pina—request for support: Mrs. Botsford informed the board that <br /> Mr. Domingo Pina has re-designed a potential affordable housing site that he owns on Caroline <br /> Way.

The site is still <br /> under review and funding has not yet been requested to build the development. After a brief <br /> discussion, it was decided to hold off on any action until the development was funded. <br /> D). Candle Policy adoption: Mrs. Botsford provided the board with a drafted policy on indoor <br /> flames/candles for consideration.
