<br />Lexington Housing Partnership <br />Jefferson Union Development – Mary Haskell <br /> <br /> Ms Haskell spoke with Aaron Henry about the development. The town has issued eleven out of <br />thirteen occupancy permits. No more permits will be issued until the affordable unit is under <br />agreement. Also, the town should expect to receive $200,000 as part of the project. Ms. Manz <br />asked why the project has been so slow and Ms. Duncan responded that the asking price was too <br />high. It has since dropped. <br /> <br /> Affordable Homebuyer Assistance Program – Bob Bicknell <br /> <br /> The Affordable Homebuyer Assistance Program was on the agenda for the Town of Selectmen <br />st <br />meeting on June 21. Unfortunately, and despite the thorough packet provided to the Board by the <br />Partnership and LexHAB on the issue of pursuing home ownership opportunities in Lexington, the <br />Board did not support the home ownership initiative at this time. Ms. Manz noted that we have a <br />strong study on the issue which will serve as a resource in the future, particularly if it is decided to <br />revisit the issue. Ms. Weiss indicated that since the study was funded with CPC funds, the <br />Partnership ought to present the findings to the community. One idea is to ask the League of <br />Women Voters to hold a forum in the fall at a “first Friday’ discussion. Ms. Manz will ask the <br />League for a date. We will ask Ms. Sunnarborg to present the findings. <br /> <br />Web Site Changes <br /> <br /> We need to assure the continuance of our domain name. <br /> <br />Report from Metro West Collaborative Developers, Inc. – Ken Kreutziger <br /> <br /> No report since Mr. Kreutziger was not present. However, it was noted that a meeting of Metro <br />West is coming up. No specific date was mentioned. <br /> <br /> Discuss Vine St. Affordable Housing Plans – Bob Bicknell <br />st <br /> Mr. Bicknell reported that the Board of Selectmen, at their June 21 meeting, agreed to approve a <br />task force to study the use of this site. The planning staff is working on defining some initial tasks. <br />Mr. Bicknell, Mr. Kennedy and Ms. Manz are on the task force. One issue will be the preservation <br />of the historic structure. <br /> <br />The next meeting will be held in September, with a precise date, time and location to be announced. <br /> <br />The meeting was concluded at approximately 9:15 pm. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectively Submitted, Carol Marine <br />
