meet with.the Committee to discuss recommendations. Estella asked if the engineer
could meet with the Board sometime in the future to review is recommendations. Patricia
also wanted to know if engineering services will be sent out to bid. Mike indicated
engineering services would be sent out to bid, but after Pharmer Engineering had
completed the current work to avoid redundant costs incurred by a new engineer.
6. Administrative reports
Estella asked if everyone had a chance to review the Director's Report and asked Mike to
briefly review his report.
Mike indicated the maintenance staff was putting more insulation in some of the units.
Mike reminded the Board that many of the apartments were given extra insulation this
time last year, and the CHA would schedule blocks of apartments for re- insulation every
year until such time all apartment have adequate insulation.
Mike indicated "caution" stickers made to place on the front of every stove warning of
the "shocking" hazards associated with cleaning your oven while it was plugged in. He
indicated there were no further complaints or discussions from the tenant who was
shocked by the stove and that CHA's attorney and insurance agent has provided guidance
to the situation.
Mike explained the efforts by CHA to remove dangerous trees as soon as their condition
is brought to management's attention. 5 Trees needed removed in October because of
damages caused by the severe winds.
7. Old Business
Mike explained that after the first failed attempt to hire a financial officer, he believes he
has found a qualified applicant whose salary demands will complement CHA's delicate
budget. Estella said the new Financial Officer should write a procedural manual while
being trained.
8. New Business
Mike reviewed the survey results with the Board. He explained that an intern from BSU
completed the survey; CHA staff translated the survey; and a volunteer went door -to -door
to every apartment to get the survey results. The survey indicated CHA was a better
place to live than a few years ago and that more organized recreational activities were
needed.
Mike informed the Board that a new Board Member would be needed for next year.
Estella said filling the vacant Board position was not urgent and could wait if necessary.
Jim also said filling the position was important, but because the current Board is involved
and engaged, it was likely not a necessary to fill the vacancy immediately.
