Ms. Wageman indicated there are existing contracts which must be completed. Ms. Wageman addressed the Board and questioned, if new construction is still an activity the Board wishes Operation Threshold to continue. Rich Earles reviewed previous Board action which halted future applications from Operation Threshold until the new construction program issues were resolved. Further discussion indicated that Board members agreed on the fact that all satisfactory measures have been taken by Operation Threshold to correct the problems cited by various homeowners. It was then moved by John Rathjen and seconded by Mickye Johnson, to authorize and encourage Operation Threshold to apply for additional funding for their proposed projects in FY2002. On roll call: Bill Arndorfer, Mickye Johnson,John Rathjen and Eric Johnson voted Aye. Nays: None. The Chairman declared the motion carried. Joyce Wilder circulated photographs of recent repairs made to her home and read several letters from other homeowners dissatisfied with the repairs by Operation Threshold. Ms. Wilder expressed her disappointment with the City and its inspectors, and indicated these homeowners were seeking legal advice. Sherry Jefferson addressed the Board and suggested a professional contractor should be contacted to inspect these homes and see what else could be wrong with the construction. Lisa Wageman reviewed the difficulties in scheduling repair work on some of these homes. Every effort has been made, and they will continue to cooperate with homeowners, to complete the repairs indicated by HUD. Chairman Johnson indicated Operation Threshold has offered to repurchase the homes if homeowners are still not satisfied after all punch list items have been completed. He suggested each homeowner must take whatever action they feel is necessary to resolve the issue for themselves. 2. Local Contractor Preference Update. Chairman Johnson reviewed a request from Michael Anthony for the Board to review the possibility of local contractor preference on jobs being bid within the city. Rich Earles read an excerpt from HUD's response quoting the regulations, "that grantees and sub grantees will conduct procurements in a manner that prohibits the use of statutorily or administratively imposed in state or local geographic preferences in the evaluation of the bids or proposals. " Therefore, a waiver to the bidding procedure is not allowed when utilizing Federal block grant funding. John Rathjen inquired about another initiative, the CIIC. Rich Earles indicated he was still gathering information and was not ready to report at this time. This initiative is similar to the Community Development Financial Institution which makes local loans. •XCipogln nsnoH ool.taleM alp q noagl paipueq aq sansst lelua.i papuawwooai uafgleg ugof -mum aq of paau pinoM S1gJ .Moll 10ra aigeliene unu o.rd 5uture.tl ielua.i ou sr wail paleorpu► sling qoi'j •ssaooad uo-spueq a ui 2ui&2*ua sum Srgl palsanns pue `S101u01 .toj aOuelsrsse ieoiugoai uip!noid ql!M su.taouoo peg uosugof abiorj, •XI!JOg1ny gutsnoH oolaal1M alp Onomp passatppe aq pinogs sanssr leluai palsanns pue wej&ojd fututel] Ja,Cngawoq atp aoj pasn gu►aq wn[nutn alp Macnaa of paNse uafgleg ugo f •5upal.rey l pue aouelstssd luawXed umoQ / dtgsJaulaed uisnoH ooi1al'M `&u►ureJ, JaiingawoJ / piogsaaq j uo► made `guilasunoD lipa.lp iawnsuoD Ononp papunj iipuanno swei otd aql pauieidxa saiaeg go►N •suotlezivalo lap gum saotnaas jo uopeoildnp .tano utaouoo passaidxa sJagwaw pieog •spoog1ogqpau uagpuafs pue sJaumoawoq Jo aagwnu ail) 2uipuedxa 'EOM yxnj alp u►gltm saaXngawoq Mau clean `d►gsJaumoawoq uo aidoad aleonpa of glao3 las siea alp sagsildwoDOe It se 2uoi se weaoad alp &unnuiauoo `/Clio alp .ioj loafoid 2uro2-uo ue se lnq `.read auo isnl.ioj loll `digsaaulred 2uiSnoH oolaaleM alp of luawl!wwoo aqa urmarnat pue `we1&31.1d ooi.taPPM maul} am `ssaooid ueid palepilosuo3 alp uo panuiluo3 uotssnos►Q •pamacnaa aq pings awmj au!) a pue Siea urllas uo uorssnosrp pue `Xltnpoe mil J0J Xlcligisuodsai peal a)iel of paaJ2e p.reog atp paleoiput sai.teg tio!N •Ola ',Claadoad aiagl Jo amen aql u!eluiew 'Nap pue uilapnq '2upueu j puelsaapun 'awoq a luaa .To asegoand of ntoq uo aauelsisse ieaiugoal pue uoilewaoJui saauMoawoq / saaluaa anipadsoad apinoad of `suoilnlilsut 2uipual pue saauMo ,flaadoad `saolieaa eaae g1IM uogeaadoo0 ui sweAoad Ieuoileonpa 2ulluaa / 2u!snoq 2u9sixa aql puedxg (q) JflilenO pue ICTgigelneAy 2u!snoH •£lei - ueld OTOZ oolaaleM Jo /CIiD •£ •paiaaea uollow aql paaelaap uuwam° aq,L •auom :sXnN •aAy palon uosugor aiag pue ua[gleg ugor 'uosugor a,Gp!I4l 'aaJaopuad iii$ ilea fioa up •auaanoa aauuansut,Caussaaau aq; 2uipinoad of luensand VoM aql aoj uolluaodao3 aaluaQ glint laealuoa u olui aalua of paziaot3nn SUM aolaaa!Q aq1, •00-6i-ZI -Q-ZI I •oN dnoa9 aaueauai3 alls pun uotliiowaq ao3 unto' `ooiaaluM Jo uoileaodaoj aaluaQ woaj 00.00S`£ZS Jo p!q aql Idaaae of aajaopuay iiig Ai papuooas pun uaigle2' mot.Sq panow sent I' •iololJluoo stgl of 3Oedluoo alp$urp ume papuawwooaJ pue lapao ui sum `00.00S`£Z$30 lunowe alp ui `uopuJodtop laluma woad p►q puooas alp paliodai sauof •ij,8 •sluawannbal piq alp ut pagtoads se patio pagiltao Jo puoq pig paunbai alp apniour )ou pip pue alaldwoout sem 2uigwnld Jasice I Wag 00.08£`£Z$3o piq Moi alp paleatpui sauof Xpn2l '00-6I-Z i-Q-Z I i dnoi0 uoppowa j 1oJ spiq alp uo l toda.t of sauof Apnli uodn palleo uosugo f uewaiegD •xuogluv •1yAl of uo uopeu.uoJur slap pigM.10j of 33e1S moan')uosugo f uew.tregp •solls!2ol 30;soo ieuoiltppe amp asneoaq 'Cidde loll !pm slapptq alels Jo lno 'Cuew 'smog Mau Sutpitnq ua4M `palels sapeg Bon' v aSed OOOZ '61 aagwaoaQ sau-im I MINUTES December 19, 2000 Page 5 It was the consensus of members present to table discussion on this item until the February meeting. Board members requested a list of duties for the Waterloo Housing Authority, and what are their responsibilities. Rich Earles reviewed the services of the Section 8 Program, the subsidized Ridgeway Towers units, and the seven homes with the Family Self-Sufficiency Program. Rent subsidy is the Waterloo Housing Authority's basic responsibility. The Chairman indicated further discussion on this item would be tabled until the February meeting. E. NEW BUSINESS 1. Request from First Wisconsin Mortgage, Inc. for a subordination on the forgivable loan to LaTanya Graves at 607 E. Donald Street. Rich Earles indicated additional information was requested on this subordination request that has not been received. He suggested tabling this item until the next meeting as information on the application is not clear. 2. Approve Consolidated Plan schedule and set the date of public hearing for January 18, 2001 at 5:00 p.m. Chairman Johnson reviewed the schedule to begin the block grant process for FY2002. The first public hearing is scheduled for Thursday evening, January 18, 2001 at 5:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. Chairman Johnson inquired about scheduling a discussion with the Mayor and Council on the direction of the Board, whether housing specific items should continue to be the focus with federal funds. Staff members were asked to schedule a work session with the Council the week before the public hearing. Discussion was directed toward funding the African American Historical and Cultural Museum. Rich Earles explained the five year commitment and the disbursement of funds for consulting fees. Funds at this point can only be drawn down for incidental soft costs associated with the construction of the project. A part-time person is working with the consultant to prepare the feasibility study, laying the ground work to get construction underway. It was moved by Bill Arndorfer and seconded by John Rathjen to approve the Consolidated Plan schedule and set the date of public hearing for January 18, 2001 at 5:00 p.m. Motion carried. F. DISCUSSION ITEMS Don Temeyer reviewed the transition of selecting a new target neighborhood and suggested applying additional funds to enhance the Brownfield area around the CMC site and Rath industrial area. Don noted the City is working with the DOT and has requested $3 million to replace the 18`'' Street Bridge and access into this neighborhood off the freeway. Many jobs will be created by helping expand the existing businesses in this area. Iowa Brownfield's funds have been secured in the amount of $700,000 in conjunction with the Downtown Plan. Don noted these programs will complement each other if this area is targeted and all participants work together.

Approval of the City of Waterloo 2010 Plan Rich Earles stated the 2010 Plan has been in the development stages for over a year. The Millennium Committee asked the Board to participate as a key implementer for a number of primary issues such as Housing Availability and Quality,Neighborhood Strategic Planning, Health and Human Services and Economic Development Strategies. Chairman Johnson reviewed the responsibilities designated for Community Development and noted the categories of Housing Availability and Quality, as well as Collaboration for Neighborhood Strategic Planning falls within the scope of the Board's mission. However, the categories of Health and Human Services and Competitive Economic Development Strategies seem to be outside the scope of the Board's activity. It was suggested these issues be directed to another group, with the Board serving only in a supporting role. Rich Earles explained the time lines and the ongoing process to implement each category. He suggested the Board plan to address each item separately under discussion at future Board meetings to lay out action steps for each category or appoint a subcommittee to review the plan. Jane Nelson-Kuhn, Executive Director of the Black Hawk Center for Independent Living expressed interest in the 2010 Plan and a desire to provide input for the health and human services issues for disenfranchised individuals. Chairman Johnson indicated the Planning and Zoning Office will respond to her questions and help her get involved in the process. Board members were not in favor of another subcommittee, and concurred that each item could be reviewed and discussed at regular meetings over the next few months. Following discussion, it was moved by Elsie Duncan and seconded by Bill Arndorfer to communicate to the City of Waterloo 2010 Millennium Committee that the Community Development Board is willing to take lead responsibility for the following areas only: - N3. Housing Availability and Quality (b) Expand the existing housing / renting educational programs in cooperation with area realtors, property owners and lending institutions, to provide prospective renters / homeowners information and technical assistance on how to purchase or rent a home, understand financing, budgeting and debt, maintain the value of their property, etc. (g) Outline and conduct a detailed assessment of Waterloo's future senior housing needs based on changing demographic and income levels - N6. Collaboration for Neighborhood Strategic Planning (a) Compile and evaluate an index of community organizations committed to, or interested in, taking an active role in neighborhood development, assessing each organizations' interest, talents and capabilities (b) Increase the involvement of local churches and religious organizations in the planning and execution of neighborhood improvement campaigns •pa!aana not;ow aq; paanlaap unwa!ng3 aq,I, •auoJ •aSy pa;on uosugof a!iI pun !lung ,fan) 'u!plunad unar 'unaun( a!sIL 'aapopuay Il!g :Ilea pi up •;aaa;S aauwnS 008 ;n ;aafoad uo!;u;!I!qugaa aq;aoj %aoM Maaa) PIO 0; 00'00L$ Inuo!;!ppn aq;30 ;uaw1fnd aziaoq;nn o; u!pluua, unar Sq papuoaas pun uplung ,fan) fq panow sung!

All meetings will be held in the City Council Chambers at 4:00 p.m. Motion carried. E. DISCUSSION ITEMS Chairman Johnson referred to a letter received from the Black Hawk County Health Department as a follow-up to the Board's concern over a health and housekeeping issue at 345 Albany Street. Several Board members witnessed the unsanitary condition of this house and were concerned over a possible health hazard for the inhabitants. Rich Earles indicated the state has offered homemaker services to this owner. He also noted the state cannot require them to participate in the homemaker program or identify a health risk, as this is a standard of living. No further information can be obtained because of their confidentiality policy. Following discussion, Board members concurred that this matter was directed through the proper channels and the owner has a choice whether or not they wish to accept the assistance available. With no further business to come before the Board, the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Elsie Duncan, Secretary MINUTES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD WATERLOO,IOWA October 17,2000 The regular meeting of the Community Development Board was held in the City Council Chambers, 715 Mulberry Street, and called to order by Chairman Eric Johnson at 4:00 p.m. on October 17, 2000.

Chairman Johnson reviewed concerns of the Board regarding sanitation and living conditions at 345 Albany Street and inquired if the homeowner was referred to homemaker services for help. Rich Earles indicated the situation was reviewed by the Black Hawk County Health Department and they will provide services if necessary, however, they were referring this matter to the Department of Health and Human Services. Don Temeyer advised Chairman Johnson that Operation Threshold's staff could not attend the meeting but they are very interested in settling the complaints. C. OLD BUSINESS.

These cabinets were defective, two-tone in color and veneer chipped off the sides. Another cabinet was scratched. Defective cabinets were coming from Payless Cashways. 6) Mix-match doors on cabinets. John Rathjen suggested these issues need to be discussed with Operation Threshold's Board. Joyce Wilder stated she had been to the Threshold Board and was advised to talk to their attorney. John Rathjen suggested Rich Earles should attend the next Operation Threshold Board meeting and discuss these issues. He noted, unless the issues are resolved, the Community Development Board should begin to withhold funding from Operation Threshold. Rich Earles indicated the Board would not be able to withhold funds from other activities, since these repairs are being paid for with Operation Threshold's unencumbered funds. Mickye Johnson stated Operation Threshold is receiving funds to build these homes and this is an on- going process. Based on the pictures and information heard today, we need to rectify this situation. Rich Earles clarified that future funding to Operation Threshold could be stopped, but he would need to check with the City Attorney to see if we can cancel unrelated programs already under contract. Jean Franklin interjected that public relations must also be improved to stop negative attitudes in the community. Joyce Wilder restated her problems in dealing with Operation Threshold's staff and reported on correspondence she received from them suggesting legal counsel. Yvette Denton again questioned the Board concerning her circumstances, as she was going on several weeks with an unfinished kitchen and disruption to her home. Ms. Denton indicated a letter was received today from Operation Threshold concerning a final inspection, and this has not taken place. Viola Veasly, 713 Mobile Street stated all the problems in her home seem to be stemming from the foundation. The framework is not flush with the cement in some places and windows are improperly installed. Operation Threshold sent a carpet man over to check her carpeting because it was installed incorrectly. Nothing has been done with her foundation. Sherry Jefferson, 407 Newell Street indicated bad wood was used on her foundation, then Operation Threshold had to retighten all bolts in the basement as they were loose. During the winter there was ice all around. There were spaces that you could see daylight around the foundation. Ms. Jefferson indicated her roof isn't installed properly. •peo.t otp uMop slea1C 01-c uaddeq jjt•'n irtok Mou)I Iou op snuMoautog asagl pue Aji doid paloadsut Iou NOM satuoq aqi palels JopliM •sib „•oloq do wag s.ioloadsut ou lad pue on Luop pug Tutop a.z,Xagl IegM sMouy imp Xpogautos lag inq 'du puno.tn ow wag auo Mau e ow piing„ `asuodsa.i mappM •siv pop aqi opun of polueM aapjiM •sin!J! po)ise uafgleli •.rye .„ou„ `asuodsai setapi?M •sini „Luotloe3stles Inoic Jo jje of owoq sup xg oI am oq of nuton Iona a.te ICagl putut.moX ut )iutgl no1i op„ `.Iapl!A •siAJ po)jse uafgleN uqo f •saoloa.nU jo p.Ieog piogsa.tgi uogendO alp twm nunooul jo Xouo in alp paztsegduta utene aH •ooj.Ialep ow!

We cannot build inferior housing, or we'll be right back where we started in five years. We need to straighten out these homes, no matter the cost and put the issue behind us. Rich Earles addressed Ms. Wilder, "Following up on John's question, do you want out of the deal? Do you want them to buy the house back from you?" Ms. Wilder stated, "I want a house, because who's to say I can go to a bank and they will lend me some money to buy a new house." She noted there is no guarantee that she will be able to refinance to get a different home. Yvette Denton questioned, "if they buy the house back will they turn around and sell it to someone else?" Joyce Wilder's comment, "that house needs to be torn down." It was then moved by John Rathjen that Rich Earles, and at least one member of this Board visit with the management and the Board of Operation Threshold. He stated we need to get on their next Board agenda with a two-fold message: 1) that until this issue is resolved,we will not provide any more funding for any of their proposals or projects, and 2) we would expect to hear back from them on how they intend to improve their working relationships with their customers and people that we do business with in this community. He further stated, until those two issues are dealt with there will be no further funding from this Board. The motion was seconded by Mickye Johnson. John Rathjen then stated, "in addition to providing this dialogue to them verbally, we should reduce it to writing, Rich. This should be written correspondence to them that the Board gets a copy of. So if we could tell them that we have met today and this motion was acted upon by the Board as follows, so that we've got something in writing on that. If you could do that for our review before it goes in, that would be good,just to make sure it says what everybody wants it to say." Chairman Johnson called for the vote. Seven Ayes. Mickye Johnson questioned if this should be a roll call vote because we are talking about stopping funds. Chairman Johnson indicated we are not stopping funds already committed, but discussing action on future funding, therefore, no roll call vote is necessary. The Chairman declared the motion carried unanimously. Chairman Johnson confirmed that John Rathjen would accompany Rich Earles to the Operation Threshold Board meeting and asked if other members were interested in attending. Chairman Johnson asked to table discussion on Old Business Item Cl and New Business Item D 1 due to the late hour. utagl 01 ajgelirnr aq /Cetu as.5.inos Tt?t{M uo sluaptsa.i all oi uotleuuo3ut amtu aptno.id o1 alge aq II!M 3M Uagl `UO DUIO5 Si 1e4M lnO pug I11M 3M `apuu Si UO11r2ipS3AUi Ue Ua4M p31eOipui UOSUL1Of U1Uiuel3 •sluapisai aqi 01 ards icurdutoo Xpl.inoas all pue `Xuedwoo luawa2rueuz ag1 `laluaD luauaao.tojug 3111 Luo.i3 ajdoad 1.1311M `)Lied at.nead 1e 2upoolu e LUO.1J 3u1e0 X113 all Op ajgelrene uotleiuiojut Xpuo 'all palels sa'leg qol' •OSj1 .1311etu 3141 JO prat" Seq pJeog all lug 3q1 St SLIT palrps UOSugOf Uem11e4D *uo 2uto2 st 1r4M plop uaaq /Capp l,uaneq ,CqM 'Grill to luautaeurtu gIIM uotle3tununuoo 3o au!' ou st alai Lot /Cage op aiagi `djaq 1euolptppe paau /Call uagM pue `auioout Mot ate Xag1 `passa.idap X"eoliuouooa ICprogr are amp 2utnt' satjtu.te j •utajgoid e oq o1 2uto5 sly pue ua.tppgo gitM a.tagl 1no sagtmr3 3.1e amp `1ea.i sl walgoid stgp Trip Tor3 all passa.ils iaddadjn3 •sytj •p.ieog 4.zoglnd Rutsnoll oojaaln \ aq1 air Xag1 se `lounoD Aiij all Xq pajpurq 3q p'nogs Ialle[u stgl paleotpui uosugof urtu.nrq) Bale legl aneaj o1mum own asogi.ioj ,Cjjetoadsa `a2uego.ioj .loop ag1 uado of Xliunp.ioddo autos paau Tjled 3111 .id le sluaptsat aq j •Lu311101 sp.zo'pue' asogl l.zoda.i o1 pastnpe sum pur jjuis siqkI ueuinH oojJaTIM aq1 jo.iaquiauz e gltM slip passnostp aqS •aaagl ant' noA.JOno3stp Aag1 aouo no1C wog XI?MI Lunt sp.tolpuej •sluaptsa.i vied al.ile.id lnoge Xltunuzuioo alp ut ew r s a si Nap pawls iaddadjn3 •sj, •anoui o11uIM ,Cag13t A'letoadsa `siUIua1 all 01 lgauaq a a.ie sJagonon Mau asagi •,Ci.iado.id sigl le slurual ag1 jo a.ieo X1.iado.id op ueo am IIu op 'pm XliD oq j •palenoua.i uaaq sal Trgi luaiulu?dn Jalloue O1 anouz.io amid ut Xels o1 amp 2utaq sivaptsai 111M wow xn000 i1iM ,Cltadoid ag13O uotlrpt'tgrga.i odoq aM loops all uo pno pao.ioj aq lou 1PM slu1ual palou Jai owoj uo j •Xliumuuioo ag1 ul asp aIa4Maiuos.zo Ind atzlum 11.ialonon legl asn o1 algr oq i1!M noX 1ng1 aiedtotlue am pue.iagonon e 1a5 1pM luaplsaJ Xiang •)lzed at.ite.id ut ptun XIOAO.JOJ S.t340110A 9Z' uan12 uaaq sal i(lt.toglny 2utsnoH ool.ial1M a4Z •alep 1ng1 uo Xliadoid alp jo sloop all asojo 015utuuejd lou a.iu Xag1 ',quo Outsoto a3t?lsa real e aq 'jpM sigi •ypL•I JaquiooaQ uo ,C1.iado.id alp pas o1 Suto2 a.ze CagZ •a.insojoa.ioj q2nomp Xl.iado.rd alp.iano uovl seq Snxoi ut 1alu0D luaui3ougug anti alb •13glla uo outa st 1egM uo map XIlelol 1ou Si X1t3 all puu 2utpurlsiapunsiut autos st Now Tams sai.teg got2l •atnln3"pip inoge pai.uoM lie air Xag1 pue uo Out02 Si le4M Moue' 1‘uop 1eg1 satjtureJ 017 ale a1agl palou agS •10)p 1 z lelua.i 1g2t1 a pue S3tltitln.i0J aouelsisse ou g3!M `JaluIM ail jo a'ppn n ag1 ut 2utleoola.i lnoge pat.uoM pue lasdn sum aqS •OOOZ `L I iogi.uaoaQ aq 'I!M sluaml.iedd y.ted ap!wd Jo 2utso'o alp Trip 2utlels Xpt.zoglnV 2utsnoH ool.ia1IM alp wag pantaoa.i aqS 131131 e lnoge su.taouoo 111M p1rog aq1 passaIppr `s1uaiuliedd Ind at.zteid jo luaplsa.i e `laddadjn3 aJOua'I SIN'�,LI NOISSIDSIQ •Q •paiaaeo uotlow •spaau 2utsnoq uo moll Joifej\ gpnt uoissnosiQ :IQ mall - ssautsng maN pug Ueld OIOZ 0011al1M 3o AID aqp Jo lunoaddy :ID mall- ssautsng plc; :2utlaam iagmanoj ail i iun small 2u!Ato11oj aqp uo uotssnostp awl of uaftllu l ugop i q papuooas pun uosugop aS}1om Xq panom sum lI 9 a2rd 000Z 'LI J3g01o0 Sg Lf1NIY�I MINUTES October 17, 2000 Page 7 through the Waterloo Housing Authority or Community Development. No decisions can be made at this point. Rich Earles noted, HUD has been asked to give an update to the City Council on November 6. Don Temeyer clarified the fact that the City of Waterloo is not directly involved in the foreclosure. This transaction is between the federal government and Prairie Park, which is a nonprofit organization. The City is handling the vouchers to assist the tenants through the Waterloo Housing Authority. The communication has not been good throughout this whole process. Don noted Ms. Culpepper has brought out a some good points, in that we may need to look into down payment assistance for these residents to move into another place, or funds for moving expenses. Mickye Johnson addressed Deb Berry and suggested the Council hold a meeting with the families at Prairie Park,just as soon as concrete information is available, to calm their fears. John Rathjen inquired about previous Board discussions on the Waterloo Housing Authority coming under the direction of the Community Development Board. Don Temeyer indicated there has not been time to work on this. There has been discussion with the Mayor, but not with the City Council. It would change the makeup of the Board, since the Housing Authority has different requirements to follow. It would require two separate Boards. Gary Rankin questioned the sale of the property at Prairie Park, inquiring if HUD would maintain it as low income? Rich Earles responded there will be some restrictions on the property, however, no information is available at this time. Jean Franklin expressed concern with maintaining the status of the Prairie Park property as low income. She felt it should be considered affordable housing. People should have an opportunity to strive for something better. Mickye Johnson indicated his vote would be to demolish the structure, because with the large concentration of low income residents, that stigma will last for a lifetime. It would be better to infill some of the vacant lots to duplexes and four-plexes for affordable housing. With no further business to come before the Board, the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Elsie Duncan, Secretary
