LexHAB plans on improving <br /> the property for affordable housing, it will stay a four bedroom home. They plan on repairing <br /> clapboards as needed and replace and repair gutters as needed and windows. Lead paint found, <br /> which will be removed so there can be a safe work environment. Proposing vinyl windows. <br /> Budgeted $180,000 with work being done. Ms. Fenollosa suggested pricing out other options. <br /> HC COMMENTS: <br /> Mr. Kelland asked when the house was built. Mr. Savage said 1863. Mr. Kelland then asked <br /> what type of windows are going in. Mr. Savage said vinyl. Mr. Savage said they have to be cost <br /> effective. Mr. Kalsow suggested there are a lot of modestly priced wood windows on the <br /> market. Mr. Savage mentioned the budget was based off vinyl windows. Mr. Smith said they <br /> could price out alternatives and see what the costs would be. The issue is this has to be procured <br /> under public bidding laws. That is putting a burden on the budget. <br />
