The Treasurers report was approved as read Gerry did note that Karen was waiting for the
classifications on the Woburn Street expenses from the accountants So for now the expenses

Notes from Selectman's Meeting There was a discussion on the Selectman's meeting from
June 22nd Bill Hays, Dave Eagle, Karen Sonnerby, and Bob Bicknell were present They spoke
about the process for obtaining units purchased from 40 B funds, and how that process differs
from Lexhab's process On these units Lexhab will not be able to award based on current need
or on the Housing Authority's guidelines but by a lottery This being said, we lose some
flexibility and the homes remain vacant longer until we try to fill them Also mentioned was the
idea of creating a new committee to control the super parcels, and Bob Bicknell spoke about his
proposal to purchase new homes and provide affordable home ownership to the Selectman
Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday July 22, 2009 at 7 30
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted by roll call to go into
Executive Session to discuss a matter of litigation with no intent to return to open session
Meeting Adjourned at 8 15 pm
Respectfully Submitted, Maryann Cummings
