Minutes for June 23, 2009
Present: William Hays, Donald Wilson, David Eagle, Gerald Howell, Lester Savage
Bill suggested holding off on approving the minutes from the May meeting.
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
are in a clearing account until she gets instructions from the accountants
Patricia Nelson has been investigating our lease. She believes there is room for improvement on
the lease. She will recommend changes. The Garfield Street lease will remain the same. Pat was
also reviewing the subpoena for Brittney Casey, and sent supporting documents to the
attorney. All seems ok with us.
LEHAC is up and running (they are a sub part of us). They have letterhead and they are
underway. Gerry has agreed to be the liaison between the two groups. Bill stated the need to
create a separate checking account and open it with an annual deposit of $10,000.00 from
nd
Lexhab. Gerry motioned to approve and Dave 2 and so voted unanimously.
Notes from Selectman’s Meeting. There was a discussion on the Selectman’s meeting from
nd
June 22. 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
