idem on the report. Andy explained the changes to the schedule to Estella. Estella wanted to

difficulties experienced by either staff or tenants at the next meeting. Estella also wanted to
know if there was any place tenants could make after -hours payments. Mike explained that is
was in consideration, but not possible at this time and the cost would be approximately $1,600 to
install the drop box. Patricia joined the meeting at 12;28pm. Sid commented about the necessity
to keep the emergency generator for the water pumps serviced on a regulator basis to prevent
