c. Becky Kosterman reported that with the $2,000 from the Fund for Lexington paid on
May 21, 2007, the Human Services Fund should have sufficient funds until the end of
July when the Trustees of Public Trusts will disburse an additional amount. Becky
Kosterman brought to the attention of the Board that all units of the Avalon Bay
projects in Lexington are now being metered separately for water and sewer use. As
a result, the Fund could be called upon to help low income residents with this
expense. Norman Cohen will look into this matter.

on funds. Norman Cohen reported that he had called them in the past and was told they
would call if they needed money from the Fund.
