 Please begin at 645 Brian Connor of the housing authority and so we have two separate meetings we have a 645 and we're gonna hear on our section 8 from our administrator and then it's 7 o'clock we have we receive in quarter or comments on the state annual plan that we then take back with us and Jack and the staff so so to separate so that means if we're done with the 645 too early wait till 7 o'clock so because we posted them two separate times no big deal we can have fun telling jokes or something like that so first of all call the order so commissioners the guard here Nick here I join here so we're all here we're gonna reverse this we're gonna have Patty joiner with section 8 administrator percent first and then we'll receive some public participation basically an addendum to our five year plan a five year plan starts in 2020 so this is the first year in and we have to have the goals and objectives any changes that we may have during the intro we need to have it voted on and the annual goals and objectives have been edited to reflect those that were updated and voted upon during the development of the fiscal year 20 that's 24 five year plan in addition we have provided a report on the progress a has made in meeting the goals and objectives described in the previous five year plan we really haven't had a whole lot of changes this year so we are just we have a goals and objectives and this I believe is on the website and we are still abiding status and reaching towards our goal as the same as last year. So board commissioners anybody have any comments on that you know received it pretty simple thank you any open to the public anybody have any questions or comments on the goals and objectives? Yeah I have these great great I'll read it I'm not sure it applies to this grassy element so grass yellow prepared this statement so I am aware that the Department of Housing Community Development can provide special funding to housing authorities to install specialized equipment and handicapped departments to meet the needs that resident such as easy to open and close faucets countertops door stops specialized door handles does the aunt and housing authority currently see funding TCHP if so is the money being used for these devices if they are not receiving this funding is the housing a very interesting resource I this this is really a question for next week's meeting so next week here is a is our regular monthly meeting so this this is not applicable to the section 8 plan so order order the annual five-year but definitely the next week so yeah why don't you keep it and we'll put it up to present the next year because there's answers for the absolute but to it next week yes I just I thought that what happens with a five-year plan is that he takes suggestions and maybe that could be one of the suggestions for the project plan which gets written into it yes yes what I suggested is this is appropriate for the seven o'clock hearing on the five-year plan because the five-year plan is a hearing we take suggestions all sorts comments from you it gets written into the plan and our response as the housing authority is also written into the plan do I have that correct I can take that I can take that comment to consideration and there are you know that that'll be more for the seven o'clock meeting when we can look into some of the different you know updates that we're already doing and some of the other any compliance related things that we're looking into that can be added as something that will consider but I think Graciela what I want to make with you is don't ever hesitate to bring that up on a regular meeting because if there's a situation where somebody needs some type of a combination we can do those things without having to put it in the plan we can have our staff so if there's somebody with a need that we don't know what we could we can do that anyways but Jack like Jack said we can put any comments in the section eight yes we'd like me to speak from here what's up cool just give us your name great so I'm Elizabeth and these are comments that I also email to the board I just want to publicly also address the public and I have not seen the updated so it could be that these are in there and let me know that they're there so I did ask for the following request to be considered for the section 8 plan to adopt the small market that the small area market formula to their payment standards which would raise the payment to reflect the actual rental costs Arlington as you're aware this is a relatively easy way to expand access to the private rental market for section 8 voucher holders here in Arlington currently that Arlington housing authority uses the payment standards released by HUD for the entire metro area instead of focus focusing on communities with much higher AMI rates such as Arlington the result is that the rate is set too low for anyone to find a safe and sanitary place to rent in Arlington adopting the small area fair market rate formula was in the actual recommendations of the town's recently released their housing report and it would allow residents and their families to stay in their home communities where they have established roots and relationships my second request was to opt into the HUD home buying program in town so that section 8 tenants would use their vouchers to help buy a home and allow them to develop thank you thank you and I think I even look you back to Jack is gonna look into both of those items yep absolutely as far as the first question we had the housing authority is allowed to go up to 110% of the market rent actually up to 120% of the fair market rent anything over 120% of the market rent we must get okay by HUD but there is availability out there that we can go higher but I have not seen the need for it personally working section 8 tenants in Arlington sorry any other comments can you put that in we have we receive payment standard of fair market rents from right from HUD for our area and we are part of the Boston Metro Metro Boston Quincy Cambridge area and it's about four different counties middle-sex County Essex County and so it's quite a few different housing authorities and towns in this area that that Arlington Housing Authority has adopted years ago for us to use the same payment standard in those particular areas otherwise it was taking time workers in the office to seek payment standards from each and every single town for their payment standards a lot of times the other housing authorities were too busy we just couldn't get a hold of them they don't have accessible access to their units of payment standards so we adopted this I don't even know how long ago maybe ten years ago that we would just do the metro area our area so but we can if we're at a hundred percent of the fair market rent a hundred percent across the board except for four or five bedrooms but we can take it up to 110 percent if it's reasonable if it's everything has to coincide if the if the tenants income coincides every if everything falls into place and it is reasonable that they are allowed to go up to 110 percent no question I think this is a very interesting and productive suggestion by a listen I think what the response was I think we have to look at what is the difference between what we're doing now and what this other program would offer people would there be I suggest that there actually be an important looking for this are there more places that available and I'd like to like to do a little research so I think that it would be important and I think Jack has said that's what you do some research and look at what's happened when other housing authorities have adopted the small market rent hasn't made a real difference for people being able to find apartments right now it's very hard for anybody which is I think a real tragedy so we want people who have section 8 to be able to do so but I would take that suggestion as the reason that we should do some research on this one bedroom is 1924 one bedroom that's the rate 1924 in the town of how about that with that's what all you tell me I'm sorry I'm sorry is that going to increase the rent for residents that are already here no no this is section 8 these are section 8 books these are folks that live in different rented apartments throughout various towns cities and towns not anybody lives in Drake I just gave out 20 vouchers and I've already got three people moving in our so that's really quick what they don't have a problem once they know the particular places to go to you know the high-rises and whatnot all the big companies will know the section 8 they know them they know the vouchers and I agree with Joanne I think that's a good recommendation just to see where we're at yeah I just want to make sure everyone understands what section 8 is and section 8 is a program unfortunately there's a very long waiting list but we're hoping that the federal government will have many more spots than they do now but what it means is if you get accepted in terms of your income and other situations to section 8 that you paid 30 percent of your income 30 to 40 30 to 40 percent of your income monthly adjusted for the rent and the federal government covers the rest and if as Elizabeth was suggesting the rent is very high you still pay only 30 40 percent of your income and the federal government will pay more if in fact this method allows for is adopted allow then the federal government more if it's by zip code right but at the moment we have to make sure that that's a program which would be good for Arlington residents anyone actually gets wants to move to Arlington has section 8 would really help you to have this program all right any other any other questions on that civil rights certification has not changed did you print it I gave I gave a product so I just signed it from any comments on that do we need to vote this yeah so we need to we need a motion to accept the goals and objectives as well as the civil rights yeah I would make a motion to accept it how do you choose well chair goals and objectives for 2021 and civil rights certification certification a second yes a second okay a roll call Gar yes Brian yes Nick yes that's unanimous do we have a motion to join okay that closes the public hearing first hearing now it's 703 we now open up our next public hearing considering the state annual plan very sandy so it is 703 we call the water housing authority a state annual plan public hearing roll call Gar Garseer Brian's here Nick here Joanne here and we're going to reverse this again so let's have Jack chat about the plan first public comment so just to go over again or to go over the annual plan is intended to provide insight to the housing authorities operations and plans for the coming fiscal year as they affect the authorities stated in public housing proposed annual plan is comprised of the following elements proposed capital improvement plan the next five years proposed maintenance and repair plan also known as PMR current operating budget responses to the to the PMR findings list of housing authority policies list of waivers from governing regulations of the Department of Housing Community Development and other elements just some quick things to touch upon is that there are some updates that are going to be made to the board members when this annual plan was put out the draft was initially put out it was prior to the election so there are some updates related to the positions of the board as well as some of as well as the expiration date in the case in that so so that's something that will be getting updated additionally one one major thing to mention is that the window survey has been included for 20 f white for fiscal year 2022 that's from an autonomy manner and at that point we should be able to have a better understanding of the cost of that project and and move forward and try to get that in the budget in the coming years additionally one other thing just to address is that our our vacancy rate for chapter 200 which is family housing was 3% so we are working to to address that part of the reason for that for that percentage was was COVID-19 and some of the difficulties related to that the shifting priorities additionally that was some of the issues related to that that we're addressing is with the champ common housing application which is the centralized waitlist for the state there are some issues that we're addressing whether it be through some of our advocacy groups with the state or on us on our staff levels to try to define more efficient ways to to process applications and fill these vacancies as well as to advocate hopefully to the legislature at some point for the needed changes to make them to create additional efficiencies additionally as you saw on the last pages of the annual plan there is a survey that surveys very important because it helps us to address some of the areas in which we can improve even in the areas where we may be doing better than other large housing authorities in the state overall we can recognize that there's room for improvement and we want to try to increase those efficiencies through communication and that's all I have any questions yes what's that a copy what he just said yeah of the annual plan yeah yeah you have email yes yes yes yes yes yes hi good evening how are you my name is Marta Gallagalli if you take my criminal court my name is Motul and I just check in this afternoon the polls sorry it's my first time so bear with me the capital improvement the last year and the draft plan for this year so from Anton a minority manner I noted three points okay the I wanted to first make sure that what I see here is where I am at the start so the first things I notice is the the minority parking lot they have been meant okay I don't know if you feel that you can translate for me because I was speaking this repairment yes repairment okay I know that we have it last year and this year okay so I want to make sure the the last year is already spent in that oh oh I understand wrong and this year that's what you planned to spend in that because in my opinion first I didn't see nothing you know about the fixing the parking lot in where I live and second I think that we have better issues to spend $50,000 $300,000 $300,000 $356,000 $356,000 and apart it is just fixing the parking that we have so it's not bringing more parking as possible we needed and we can use that money for better issues like for example we are in extreme weather okay and we can try to use the same things that we have for the heater you know to do a condition okay that's a necessity in this country when it's a training weather we have a reversing homes our steps they are knowing a good shape they are noticing I leave from 2009 and there and nobody repair nothing in my house yet so yeah when something broken we call many say they come in but they are not supposed to be budget that we have to use to upgrade our houses I replay our houses I'm not in all these years I didn't see nothing in my house talking about that the basic and if you see the Constitution United States you right the first thing that you learn is it so the presumes they happen and so the other thing junior entry hardware update I don't know what it is please explain it both year last year and this year we have any boy first what is and what we have to spend 49,000 49,000 200 yes yes and something they don't know because I don't see somebody see something like that in our house so we have a lot here and we see it over here in this year the only thing I see normal code with it we really need it in the in the budget in the draft will be the windows the butterwood is important and we have to try to bring up for you know don't wait to 2022 we need it right now it's coming up on winter so we can try to hurry up that big and the only thing they call me their nation last year capital a you know the government mentioning the building that we already built in the center the life in Santa in the boy last year that thing that we end to the construction years ago what we have in the in the in the in the one from last year so if somebody can explain me to I don't make a mistake so let me just see if I can see the effect of the budget is 49,000 200 for entry hardware that's I assume that's good job sorry no so so first I'd like to thank you for your comments related to the central air will record that and we'll look into that as far as the way that the funding is allocated the way it's put in here because we're under strict restrictions from the state the funding they give us every year it's called formula funding we have to sit we have to spend up at least 80% of that formula funding every year so what ends up happening is we're forced to to use certain types of projects in order that we're doing certain things so we're using that 80% so while I totally understand your frustration related to some of the other projects that we could do it monotony manner but based upon you know the amount of money that we had you know related to that fiscal year that was a project that could fit so in regards the doors so ready so if you look I have the plan for me but one of the categories indicates amount spent prior to plan so in regards to the entry hardware update it looks like 46,872 dollars was spent so that's stuff that it already I would have to get back to you in order to give you a more accurate answer related to that but it's but it is it is money that would have been spent prior to this year so it could even be the year before too because because what ends up happening is because of that 80% we sometimes we have to spread projects over years in order that the funding matches up correctly so that's why you'd see like under the monotony manner parking level pavement like one year it says 160,000 then the next year it says 196 and that's so we're meeting our 80% thresholds from each of those years and sorry just just let me finish my thought I'm sorry and so one of the things that's that's all that's good and also maybe frustrating as you look at it from year to year as far as our annual plan is we do have the ability to have we do have flexibility so that you know say for instance some of these projects here like the window project wasn't on here left or the window study wasn't on here last year but we were able to push it up to fiscal year 2022 because we're able to have that flexibility and we have that flexibility so we're able to prioritize so like for instance you know maybe we have a fire alarm system that's going down we need to that's an emergency we need to get that online you know certain things like that we're able to prioritize move them but when we do that then it potentially changes the type of the project I'm going to do in a given year so maybe we were hoping to do said project in fiscal year 2023 but now it's scheduled for 26 but on the flip side they could go the other way maybe now we have CPA funds maybe now we have CDBG funds maybe now the cost of projects is different and now we're able to push the project up to fiscal year 2022 so so we sit down with our with our spec with the project specialist that assigned was from the state and we go through and we prioritize and we try and we it's a and it's we're trying to match up again with the funds to make sure that we're we're meeting our 80% threshold is if we don't then that's an audit finding while also making sure that we're trying to get the right projects in at a certain time frame so you for one the parking lot the last year the I see it here that was already spent not spent no yet not yet what so he's in a isn't a project and that's why you put it twice last year I put it this year because it hasn't happened yet okay so that's why they are twice twice no it's because if you want to spend that year and you want to spend again this year yeah it's it's yeah we have to we have to re-shift our phone we have to read we have to shift things so if we have it in the budget last year what we didn't use it I don't think it backs you on that I don't know that every year we have a budget and that was in our budget what happened with the money so so what ends up happening to if you when you look in the on the projects you'll see that some have been assigned number and so that's what we call a fish number which don't ask me what the acronym stands for but it's a cap well in here it says caphub project number yeah it's right in the capital improvement plan within the annual but it should be both okay okay but but what I'm getting at is is the parking lot did not have a number yet which meant it had moved into that that stage where we would have been assigned a designer from the state where we would have that put the project out to bid so it didn't get to that stage which is why we still have the flexibility to move it so we can that's yeah it's projected these are projected projects also what we can we know our programs so in this meeting we can say we don't want that money expecting that we want to provide you can you can provide that comment it would be best if you have comments like this send an email in writing so sure we can do the writing but it's more easy to understand when we are face-to-face and we simplify the fact this is not as simple as you would like to believe when we have to work with the state and the DC HD officials and they work with our housing people it's not like we could say okay I don't want to do the parking lot today I wanted to replace some of those windows it's not it's not that simple I know it's not that simple but that's what I'm the first thing that I say when I started talking was they please explain me because I don't want to be mistake things and that's what I asked you for example if that money was already spent and he said they was in Spain and that was the boy in last year so if that last year was in the boy and wasn't used that means that money has to be there so that's is contaminated so the morning going the estate or the government or whatever they need you some money you understand it's not like we get the extra money it's not necessarily the end it's just a plan so it's just a plan where we're thinking of things I need to get things things that we are looking forward to fix you know what I mean is it's a plan so we don't have the money we don't get that until it's been done to stay pace so these are things that we want to do but our steps identified that they should be done so how many years you want to have the plan so well so just how you just made a suggestion though where it's like well you know we don't technically need the parking space is fixed but maybe we can put the money towards something else that's a suggestion you just made that it does what this meeting is for you know we can discuss that it's like okay you're right we don't need to put the parking space talk about windows what is the parking what is this formula funding what can it be spent on yeah so so as far as what we can utilize formula funding for would be different types of modernization projects at the end of the day you know we will go over that with our specialists with the state and then we need to select certain types of projects whether it be you know like I said modernization late to the building with the grounds and then the state will approve those items so okay so I mean still even with this right here we will need to go through this process and then we'll need to go and then the state will review it and then potentially say no you that you know that doesn't work like if you guys are you have the money but it's not being spent or can we you have to talk to the state it's not like they give us so we work with them to identify the capital project needs so did you receive the money from the state I think we would we would not receive the money until we do the project okay so you weren't given the $49,200 because the project wasn't starting right we'll get the money you know through the process but if this you know they need to complete the work they need to show us that we have the work and then we pay the bill but we don't even try to allocate with the money okay so it isn't like we got a budget these these are projections so this is the plan going forward that we're going to that we want to work on yeah and then once we finish this so we take your feedback so for instance if you want if what you're saying is what all the windows in Montevideo Jack would take that and relook at this and see if you can put it in there and if he puts it in there and they get approved by the state then we can proceed to that so the same so that's why the like the life center was in last year because that was what you paid me but something could be in the last year and still not get done but yeah to your point it could it could get paid over multiple years and then another point too is that you know some of the funding that we had hoped maybe for a project and again I'd have to look at this to answer your question more specifically but you know there could be overruns like a project could cost more than what was projected and then that would reduce the amount of formula funding we have available I think a good example is the windslows how windows you know we're only doing we only have enough money to do so many today and then so many next year why do you have a project so it's almost $400,000 for parking and $400,000 for windows well first of all you understand the cost of the conversion price but the parking lot too because they say they are not doing it I mean $300,000 to pay the parking lot is not you know it's not a quality lot of money and these things are very expensive to do so I have a question about the $49,200 is that still available to us for that project or would it have to be promoted? it looks like the majority of that money is already been spent but how is it spent if you're going to receive it yet for that project? wait no so for the entry are you talking about the entry? whatever the $49,200 is that number? yeah actually do the parking lot since that wasn't done yet whatever that figure was whatever the parking lot figure was it wasn't done I can follow up with you to confirm specifics but my understanding that was related to the changing over of blogs I'm sorry I was trying to go with one that wasn't done the parking lot wasn't done yet obviously so it's in for this year so what I think she's trying to understand is since we now know that you don't get the funding until the project is done okay perfect so that money that was appropriated for the parking so is that still available for you to use for parking? that money is in our plan for fiscal year 2022 but they don't like retract it because you didn't do the proposal because it wasn't carried through the requirement is that we meet the 80% threshold budget reviewed every year budget reviewed every year so we have a certain amount of dollars that we can appropriate to a certain project and that's what we're asking for for you guys is to give us input on what project we made recommendations so let me just wrap this because we can go on this forever if you have suggestions windows whatever just send Jack an email send him an email soon so we can adjust the plan and take it into action I'm just concerned because we've been coming to you for 8 months now telling you that our windows are leaking heat and we've been told we're getting audits and stuff why wasn't that prioritized? why were the parking lots prioritized? it's in there for fiscal year 2022 so it's right up there as far as next projects that will be assigned a project number and then we'll stop that project Jack can I ask a question about the formula are you saying that every community every year gets a certain amount of money to spend and how much are we leaving on the table I mean is it the case that if we don't have if you don't have enough projects ready to give them then money will be lost I think you said 180 that's the potential that's why we build the projects the way we do so that we utilize those funds so how much of it was used last year I don't know that the answer off here I'd have to follow up with you can you give us all the information what we receive and what do we spend please and if people want to why don't you email that to we don't leave money on the table we don't leave money on the table I don't want to leave money on the table I wanted to know how much money we can spend how much money we have how much money we already use do we can do voyages we wanted to think about our future too so we need to know what money do we have to do what what do we can receive or not and how they use the money that already is ours because they send the money for it I would suggest that you put together an email of what you would like to have fixed because as Jack mentioned we have to work with the state and prioritize what needs to be done as he mentioned windows are already in the budget on the plan in 2022 so these things have planned out five years in advance yet there's a tremendous amount of things planned out but it's very simple make a list of things and send it to us so we can make sure it's in the plan and we can work on it the unfortunate thing is your windows are leaking it isn't like we can say the state gives us a million dollars to fix the windows today unfortunately they don't work that way so there's very little resource to fix something like that now if it's in for 2022 that's the estimated time no but what I mean we can do an email to our president at this moment I asked you for something if we really need how much money go in how much money wait out something we should know how much money do you already use how much money do you need there are many sources of income for instance rents is a very good pay it's hard to even come the housing authority we also have not the answer yeah but that's not John we don't respect it's not important how much did we pay for rent okay we want to know how much money we can use for our grant our community that's fair just remember the budget is for all the housing authority of course but at this moment it's a very fair question and we will get to the end you want to know what the budget is what we spent against it last year what's new that we're going to propose for this year 2022 you take a look at the project you make recommendations for your piece but we just have to rank them and make sure we prioritize against the whole community when you get this information when you get it because we've been at meetings it's in this plan no because I just check it out and I ask you and say that money we didn't receive it it's just a number that we estimate look at 2020 I will work with Jack to get to the information just give me a couple days give me a break don't take everything I mean a couple of days I will I'll give it to you by next Friday and we are not attacking nobody we just want to know information is basically everything and we have the right so if you do just say that we have the right to ask thank you I'm Vanessa I would run your manner and I I think the issue that I'm having is like Jack I apologize you came in at like taking over somebody that didn't do a job for years so there's a lot of issues that you're taking on right now and I'm sorry I can feel like we're coming at you and attacking resolve them kitchen sealants leaking floors buckling the constant lights leaking water these are things bed bugs these are things that are happening my house has three out of those issues listed I'm sure you could ask every one of us and one of us has those issues we have maintenance that come in and chopped one of these women's drawers in half because they put in a stove room and to make it fit their solution was to chop the drawer this meeting is very specific but the point is the budget we're trying to figure out why isn't the budget being used for things such as replacing ceilings that are leaking it's money in the air and it's in it the budget is huge I'm seeing what you're showing me I'm seeing what the public is seeing but the budget, what you want to see is the entire budget which would show you money for maintenance and improvement I just want to see that money just always being invested I don't even care about paying I just want to see that money being invested on basic structure like the floors the kitchen floor that's buckled the ceilings that are leaking which I personally know four people they probably have the same issue I said how about half a million on a parking lot that we don't have no idea what that means maybe half of that by replacing broken kitchen floors lights that leak water neighbors take a shower and I have to worry that their shower water is going to leak out of my ceiling if water is leaking and ceiling have you reported that? I had rules in January I think I was mad at me and said don't wet the door she's my neighbor let's see if we can go ahead go ahead I live in one of the colleges now I give credit to this lady right here she did in a couple weeks when I've been trying to fight for a year and a half while running down my living room wall I reported it and I reported it but finally this week they sent someone up on the roof so you think it happens we used to have an inspector came every year that he's gone now nobody comes into your apartment every year and says what do you need? this is where I'm at that seems to be all gone so like this I can send an email I'm way over the email let me just first one unfortunately as we all know the last year and a half in Longa we've dealt with a crazy pandemic and everything has stopped so we do have inspectors that go out but they haven't gone out because of COVID so you know we will give back into that motion so instead of us all complaining they can come in and let you know just what's needed here and there so Jack just mentioned that the housing has to go because of COVID but I just want to hit it home everybody has to report these things because I've had a lot of phone calls from folks about issues but they haven't reported it so you've got to report it so it's on record so that we as a managed quality we can track it to make sure that you're getting the attention that you need any other comments on the plan I don't really want to hear constantly so is the year end reports available like for the public the spending year end spending reports or the full budget is that available to us okay I know right how is that available to us other than if there's the most up to date budget is on the website right now the full budget and I mean if I can post the other budgets as requested what about like the year end reports from spending the budget versus the year end reports is that public is that public I believe the budget is on the website not the budget though how do we end that because I think a lot of the questions that people have are pertaining to where this what would spend on what you know you haven't permitted the broken down that might help alleviate a lot of questions for people it might be a physical year do I need you it's September 30 whenever the year I think I want to put your mind at ease here this is not a business in September 30 or October 1 that we all of a sudden have ended the year with a million dollars profit I understand I'm trying to make it so that there's an easier I understand my name is from 53 I'd like to meet with you after so we can figure out what the best way to present it and I think going forward I just want to say that you know Jack has done a great job in a shop here I mean this website has been tooled up you know there's a lot of stuff that's you know this is an agency that there's nothing hidden here there's no hidden documents and you know he's trying to get this stuff on the website so it eliminates your questions yeah I think everybody appreciates Jack just takes time and I think I'm getting back I mean I toured Chestnut with Miranda on the we're all touring buildings and we're looking at issues kind of like what you mentioned in your cottage we're playing catch up but I think that would help answer a lot of questions so any other questions about the plan I just need to respond to that the budget has only now been on the website since Jack took over I asked for the budget for a year I thought I spoke to Nick about it I spoke to Joanne about it so I know that it's there now and that's fantastic but there has not been this transparency and accountability before and now and there hasn't been so much interest well I've asked for it so I'm interested only since you've committed the ball game and I have it and it's a public document yeah I can't hear it say it again you can't hear it I said it's a public document that should be on your website as it is now for the public to access whatever they want to and so I appreciate that it's on there now but it has not been on there in the previous go ahead Joanne I just want to say there are a lot of things we can do one thing we can't do is change the past these things have happened I'm sorry they've happened I've been on here a year I've seen a lot of hard work in making the housing authority work making your problems into consideration where we have email addresses please tell us if you have a repair problem your windows can't wait they all get fixed then we can initially work on them but there's no way we can change the past and I don't think that's a very fruitful that's fine but don't misrepresent the past that's what I'm saying don't misrepresent it alright well we're going to move on so hearing nothing for that oh sorry Mary Ann it's not exactly um is it about the plan I only want to hear if it's about the plan I'm going to say it anyway um I'm sorry but on the subject of inspections and ever since Jojo go left there has not been an inspection list left with the tenants after an inspection and by regulation it's supposed to be done the contract inspectors that have come in have just had little notebooks and written little things down and there's been no record of the inspection it's just something for the future we'll review your case just to make sure that there was something but there wasn't that I'll get you a copy of previous inspections alright so we have a motion of the board to accept the plan in this way we need a motion we need a motion to accept the 2021 annual motion to accept so I'm making a motion to accept the annual plan for 2021 we need to move on with comments with comments second second yes yes okay do we have a motion to adjourn you have a speaker put them on their hands up over here it was just it was about the thing about the inspection so I don't think that they do it for anyone's unit because I know that anyone I know I've never received it for years or two years because I didn't do it last year we have never received an inspection or whatever yeah that's fine motion to adjourn no move second so I will mention next Wednesday's meeting it's also the dedication of this room in honor of the Daily Double so we will have a cake and refreshments after the meeting family will be here about 8 o'clock hopefully we won't delay them and we'll have a, you know, we'll dedicate this room and so forth so I encourage all of you it's really for the Drake residents you know it's not really we're not inviting politicians or million outsiders and we will have when we dedicate the life and skill center in the fall we will invite politicians but this is really alright thank you very much for coming
