and maintenance. The report was approved as read.
Housing updates: The board was updated on the status of 300 Woburn Street. All is not going as
planned. Siding is not complete, which is holding up other projects. We are looking for a stronger
st
commitment from Minuteman Tech. We are still hoping for a June 1 completion date.

ready for the lottery process.

Marketing: The Lexington Housing Authority will maintain the pool of applicants, conduct the lottery,
and market the apartments under a contract with LexHAB. The Lexington Housing Authority has
scheduled a series of informational meetings to review the new application process for the 4 new units.
A hand out of the new application was given to the board for review. There seems to be about 40
nd
interested parties, but this does not include the list at Town Hall. The 2 meeting is scheduled for
Saturday February 27, 2010. There was discussion about the minimum rents to be charged. If an
applicant comes in at the minimum income levels Lexhab would be operating at a loss on some units
due to condo fees. The lottery has been scheduled for mid May 2010.
Leary Project: Structural engineer was side tracked due to a pipe burst on the site. There was an
enormous amount of flooding done to the property. The engineer’s report is due back shortly.
Katahdin Woods. Bill met with the town manager on this topic. Town manager believes the town has
