Foley, Executive Director March 30, 2016 Lexington Board of Selectmen 2„d Floor, Town Office Building 1625 Massachusetts Avenue Lexington MA 02420 RE: Lexington Housing Authority Board Vacancy Dear Board of Selectmen, Effective March 23, 2016, Leo McSweeney resigned from the Lexington Housing Authority Board of Commissioners. Per MGL 41, Section 11, we are required to notify you in writing of the resignation. I emailed his resignation to Lynne Pease, Selectmen Clerk and Nathalie Rice, Town Clerk on March 28, 2016, but this letter may serve as a more formal notice. The Lexington Housing Authority Board met on March 30, 2016 in a Special Public Meeting to discuss candidates that would be appropriate to fill the vacancy left by Mr. McSweeney. In a unanimous vote, all members agreed to nominate Mr. Richard Perry of 40 Clarke Street, Lexington MA 02421. Mr. Perry has been a Lexington resident for many years and has raised his family here. He is a local builder who will bring immense expertise, specifically related to construction that we do not otherwise have. He has a great understanding of the needs of the community as well as a compassionate outlook towards affordable housing. We believe Mr. Perry would be a wonderful addition and complement to the Lexington Housing Authority Board of Commissioners. The next step in the process is to meet together for a roll call vote to approve this nomination. That meeting has to be advertised for one week. We would like to expedite this Equal Employment Opportunity-Affirmative Action Employer
