Okay, time is 7.31. I will start. Recording is going on. Okay, time is 7.31. I will start the Grafton Affordable Housing Trust meeting on August 26, 2013. Let's start. Aha! Since there are no members in Zoom, we can avoid the roll call. Then, if someone joins Zoom, do we have to do it again?
We don't have to do it again, but we will have to start when they join. Okay.
Anyway, let's see. The first thing in the agenda is the opinions of the public. I don't think there are any members here. Oh, there are. If anyone wants to speak for the public opinion, please raise your hand. Okay, let's move on to the next agenda. The next agenda is... The next agenda is... The next agenda is... The next agenda is...
The next agenda is... The next agenda is...
I think Rayan is here from the MHV. Right? Or not? Oh, Rayan is here with the lawyer.
Yes, I thought Emma would come. But I don't see them. So, let's... Okay. Aha. Let's go back. Let's go back to it. Aha.
Next is 1727 Upton Street.
They are here.
Oh, wait. Aha. Brendan was here. I'm just saying. Aha. Okay, then let's go back to the HiPo drive. Aha. Hi, mom. Can you... Hi. Can you start the update on the HiPo drive? Yes. I'm sorry about that.
My laptop was already updated. I thought I should update it now. Yes. Are you the fourth person here? This will always be in good time. So, as you know, RFP, RFP, LDA, LDA, etc. have received some legal comments. So, I will share my screen. Let's look at the comments. There are some thoughts about it. I am happy to discuss it. Finally, I think this is something that can be decided by Bolden and your legal advisors. We will give advice on some things. It is not necessarily what you have to do. Let that stop. I will share my screen. Let's talk about that. I will do LDA first. Let me just take a look. Okay. I am asking for permission to share. Amber. Thank you. Okay. Then you all can see it on my screen. Can you see this? Yes. Okay. So, I don't think we have looked at this line together before. But this is shown in RFP. This is just a formula included in the RFV, it should not be a last resort for developers. But it is good to discuss things like this. At least understand that this is not an LDA that is going to be used. So there is still time to make decisions about this. So, let's start from the first comment here. I have never seen a reverted deed used in such cases. Yes, is Rianne in the call? Did she join? Hi, yes, I'm here. I'm happy to talk about this. Then, hi to everyone. I don't think I've seen most of you. My name is Rianne Holmquist. I work with Jenny Merrill at Harrington Heap. So, yes, I'm happy. So, Chairman, can you tell me why I put this here? Yes. So, I am ready to implement other methods. My wish is that once the LDI system is implemented, there are not many ways for the board to implement it. So, this is what I did in the past by using the Revered Deed to ensure that it was carried out. But if there are other options in the process of making it happen, I am definitely ready. Emma, you can tell me if you have seen it done differently. I think a Revered Deed is a very important thing. So, if we need it, it should only be in LDA. So, that's what I thought of doing. That's how I do it. But if you have other ideas, if the board has another plan, I'm definitely ready for it. So that's what I was thinking. I don't know how much you know about 40B and 40B, especially about inspection and maintenance. But construction methods like this are regulated according to 40B. There is a lottery and inspection agency for this. It is also listed in the RFV. It is a subsidiary agency that provides subsidies to those who are responsible for carrying out illegal activities at an affordable price. Therefore, there are letters sent throughout the year. That is, the contribution I have seen to make this happen is usually that. That is, Therefore, I have done this before. There are more. There are more local requirements than the law. I don't see that much here. So I don't think it's that important. The main thing is where the administration takes place. I have experienced situations where the program laws are not part of the majority of the requirements. For example, facilities that do not have free ways to run it. Therefore, I will not say that a revertor deed is mandatory. It is just a rule of the majority. Therefore, I think it leaves it up to the Board's interest. However, this may not be necessary in a situation where the Board does not have enough of the laws that the other parties are trying to enforce here. Therefore, I see that there is definitely a benefit in introducing a Reverter Deed. What is the disadvantage of introducing it? Emma, if you have any opinions on this, I am ready to respond. I have some opinions. I have something to say about this RFP. I am aware of the fact that this is a three-unit system and I am aware of the developers who can respond to this. Of course, the general fund is used for this. We would like to maintain the price that can be paid. But some of the rules and regulations that were introduced in the beginning are very careful to make the developers not interested in this RFP. Especially because it is a very small unit. We are trying to be very careful about it. Christian, continue.
I am wondering if a deed writer will be included in the sale of this Reverter Deed as Ms. said. I don't know if it will be like that if it turns out to be a reason for a Reverter Deed. But if there is any conflict between this evidence and Tamil, whether it will cause a problem or whether such a relationship should be maintained in this evidence. So, if it is approved.
You definitely need a way in which it is approved. To prepare. Yes, that's right. If you don't pay attention when you prepare the evidence, there is a possibility that there will be a breach in the agreement, so you have to review various deeds separately. They have to review separately. This is something I have done before. However, I have never asked for a revertor deed, nor have I asked for it. However, things can be made more clear. If you have a revertor deed, it is in escrow, escrow, be careful. Until there are legal problems, do not ask for it. If you are talking about things that are not acceptable, that is what I meant. Unusual such systems in RFV, RFP, can affect the quality and quality of the responses obtained. More in RFP, LDA, and ELDA. I have reached a conclusion that the local laws have not been implemented. There will be more problems than benefits in implementing the Revealed Deed.
This is an important question that I have to ask myself to avoid creating more problems. Since it is possible to make two units with reduced plots or one with reduced or non-reduced plots, this. Isn't it difficult to hide both in one LDI? Or, is it better to make a special LDA for units with a lower capacity and another LDA for units with a higher capacity? I think you can do both. I think. That is, In my opinion, it is better to do all three at the same time. The instructions you receive are the same for both units in a short span and a unit in a long span. You can definitely differentiate between the two. But I don't think it's that easy. All you have to do is make it clear that these units are subject to these regulations in the LDI.
Okay, other units can also say that it is not the same. Okay, since this is just an example, I don't think we need to discuss this right now. Whatever it is, you have to implement it according to the instructions you get. So, some changes will have to be made to this. You have to include all the important systems that affect how RFP will respond to RFP, but some changes will have to be made according to the instructions that come. Thank you. Does the board have any opinion on how to handle this matter? This is not something that we have to decide right now. But, before we move on to the next step, In my opinion, I don't have any big desires. I think it's good to keep it low. It will help more people to respond, but I don't have any special obligations. I feel the same way. I like that desire, but when I think of possible bad things, I have a desire. I am leaving for the council's decision. Yes, it is a legitimate decision. The board has to take it. If you need more security, I will let you know if there is an opportunity. But... I don't think it's necessary in this matter. There are LDAs in the LDA. Okay. Okay.
Do we have to think about moving forward?
That is, if there is a small change in the draft, it is enough. So, I don't think there is a need to vote. Still, I think we are heading towards that decision. No. We don't have to think about it. Okay.
Things have to move forward quickly. Yes. Yes.
Okay, I'll talk about it in the next draft. There was something. In HLC, the units that are included in the SHI, HLC is supposed to be responsible for the town hall. I understand that. It should be done through the town hall. I don't know if this is the right answer for a developer. Christian, I don't know. Am I wrong? I think you are right. I don't know.
In SHI, it is the developer's responsibility to make sure that she is eligible to enter and to send her to HLC through Abyaksha Nagarasabha. That's how I've seen it. But, if there's no other way, in my experience, the norm is that the developer makes a request and sends it to the city council and then submits it to HLC and HLC. But, If the city council is ready to take a step forward in that process, it should not be included in this. But I have seen that the developer itself submits an application. So it is definitely possible. I know that the developer will submit an application. Which subsidy program are they entering? For example, LU. It's not the same thing we're talking about.
That's all. That's exactly what I'm talking about. That's why I have to rewrite it. I'm sorry. I'm trying to do two things at the same time. That's why we can change it to make it clear that what we're talking about is about the LEA program. And about the benefits. Okay, I thought we should include this here. Also, I remember that there was a part in RFP that said that the developer should be sure of its validity. So, I'll make sure. I believe it's in RFP, RFP. But I didn't see it here. That's why I wanted to include it in this. If you've discussed all this with Jenny earlier, I'm sorry.
I... Yes, another thing I wanted to say is whether there are any specific instructions on how to enter units in SHI or SHI. That's a good thing. Jenny might know that. I'll ask her. If she doesn't know, I'll ask her.
Let's make sure that there is no problem with that. May I ask you one thing? Do you have all the experiences of RAND, RFP, RFP? Yes, I think so. Mine? Well, as you know, it's very difficult to find the ins and outs of this. I think we have everything. So, it would be good if we could get you out of the registry at the right time. No, I don't know if all of them are next to me. A lot of them are next to me. Okay, that's right. Okay. Okay, so I'll keep that in mind. I'll make sure that I put that language application in LDA. Thank you. Then there was a requirement about local preference in this. Even if it is included, it has to be approved for it. So for that, it is one. You may need it. That's part of it. But if you give it here, it will definitely work. Not that this is something that everyone should be sure of. Before that, an approval and justification is also required. It must be approved before deciding how to conduct the cutting. So, This matter is left to the board. But to make sure that everyone knows the meaning of that language, this is not certain.
I only know about the local munganan in the case of Vardagi. Therefore, I can't say for sure how this will affect the Bavan Udamasthadi. In terms of rent, this can only affect 70% of the units that are available here. There are two or three units here. Will it affect the entire local area or just a small part? Or is this another thing that increases pollution? Yes, it increases pollution. One or two units that are of no use may not be affected by this.
That's a good thing. I should know the answer. I don't know. I'll check. I don't know if you or Kristin know anything. How is this? I also want to know how it works.
Sara, go ahead.
Hello, excuse me. My name is Sarah Street. I am from MCO Housing Services. We are the ones who always handle these kinds of things. This can be up to 70% for your property. So, when there are small things like two units, we usually say that one is a local pool and the other is an open pool, that is, up to 50%. Certainly. Did this help you answer the question?
Yes, yes, I think so.
So, we are talking about a unit. So, It will be only in the open pool.
No, we will have at least two units that we can afford.
So, the chair meant... One will be in the local pool and the other in the open pool, in that situation.
If we have three units, two will be in the local pool and one in the open pool. Right? Yes. Right.
I am sorry. I think this is helpful. It will help here. Thank you.
Yes. So, in my opinion, it is good to include the local government in this. I think it is better here to say what the COMP permit says. So, if the local preference has included this in the main COMP permit, I think it will be a problem for these units. But if there is no information about it in the whole COMP permit, I don't want to add that to this. This is my personal opinion. Okay. That's good.
Brian, I don't know if you should pay attention to this. I'll take a look at it when I check the permit. Umm. Or the other things we discussed. Okay. What do you think? That was all. What was in this? Do you have any other questions or anything to say about this? Nothing else. Okay.
Then, we feel that we are ok with some changes that we intended to make. Should we wait for another step with those changes or should we try to accept something today? Is MI interested in taking this as an option or not?
I would like to ask if there is anything that we need to show.
I think it's better if I get something in full. There are some questions in the situation where Jenny can't come. This is the LDA we are looking at. I want to look at RFP and RFP together. Okay. Yes. So I think it's better to make a more clear final decision. Okay. I think so too.
Yes.
Okay. So let's take this in the next meeting. Yes. Okay, so that's the LDA. I'll re-examine the case of that Yogi Dhamanathan. I'm trying to find it, but I can't see it here. But I think there was something about assuring that those units were SHI, Shi, and Yogi. So I'll make sure. And one of the opinions in this is here. Yes, it's in the Department of Yogi Dhamanathan.
Yes, that's right.
Yes, that's right. So, there was a comment about whether the completion of Ganyam is included with the occupancy certificates. And this is all I have to say about this. I am coming back to my previous statement that a developer should make sure that it is a profitable RFP. There is a small concern that it is difficult to build two units and apply for an Occupancy Certificate in the facility with three units. Often market units help to subsidize this. I have a small desire to complete affordable units before market rate units about affordable units. Those who have a market rate. Yes. But I would like to know the opinions of others about this. My desire to make it clear is about my desire to be clear. At that time, we calculate the number of times we have completed it substantially. If we get sister or co, it is a clear line. But if we feel that those who have the possibility in any of the previous times are the most suitable, I don't think it's a problem. If we get a proposal, we can make it more clear in LDA. That's right here. You don't have to make even the smallest things clear. But my wish is this, always. The main thing is to make it clear that the developer has the ability to change things. In my opinion, it would be better to add a document or check point to get the sister role. There will be a clear way to decide whether it is complete or not. Rian, do you and Jenny have any suggestions for this? About how it will be? Yes, with happiness. Okay. Um, I have written some questions here. So, I will put it together with the opinions. We can track things. Um. Oh, this is not in my interest. Where did I transfer the information about Jenny sequencing? To zoning and permitting. But the header is not changed. So it's here. Below zoning and permitting. Um. Wherever that header is. I changed it. Okay. Okay. So let's update that reference. Aiyo, nilku, itha angane ella o, ade. Sheri, appol, itha anna nyan karudannu. Adha irunnu aa vaachagam. Sheri, nyan ithinda reference il maatam veruthi itunda. Adu konda, ellam sheri ana. Pinne, nyan vum. Here, what we meant by this is that we need to be clear. That is, at least two units should be restricted. And I think this makes things a little unclear. Because when I hear that this is unacceptable, I feel. I think it is very clear in the rest of the regio that at least two should be built. Yes. Yes. I am only saying that I will avoid that box because it is acceptable or not. Actually, there are only three choices. Two is less, two is three. So, in this situation, I think it is not a problem. Okay. There is no least beneficial division for this. Okay. Humiliating. Okay.
Let's look at another option comment and see if we can figure out how to reduce it. So, let's say that the least useful language is two out of 80% of the three houses. Remove the word less. Then, let's say that the most useful language is three houses. Use a lower limit of what you can hold. Then, if everything is very good, you can hold 80% of what you can hold. If we want to stop pollution in all the colonies, if you allow me to say, my wish is for practicality. We have that. I tried to include it here in a very useful way. Certainly. Very useful.
Or it is added below. I am a little interested in getting such responses. When there are only three units, is it useful to include it in a useful department? In this situation, the number of people who can afford to pay more is difficult to calculate. Okay. Yes. So now... Forgive me. Yes.
Okay, so does the board agree to cancel this contract? Do you have any other opinions on how to handle this? I don't think it's a problem. That is, there are only three houses. It's very beneficial, beneficial, and not acceptable. So I think it's a good thing. Yes. I agree. Okay. Okay. I think it's all over.
We are very close. I think we are very close. Um. So I will put this back with some changes. Um. I think there are some opinions in this. Um. But I think we are very close. Rian, I think you and Jenny will suggest more languages. Um. Then. I think it will be ready for the next meeting.
Good. And?
Before I stop the screen sharing, do you have anything to ask or see on the board?
No, I think the next draft will be the last one. So, the only thing left to do now are the final decisions and time. And if I think it will be accepted in the next meeting, I'm thinking about what would be helpful to me. Can you imagine what the practical rules and times would be like for those participants? Then we can discuss it. If there are changes to be made, we can talk about it before accepting it. But do you want to see what a fair participant thinks? Do you think it will be accepted in the next meeting? That would be helpful to me.
I think this is a question related to history. I know that all of you have done RFPs before. Do you plan to submit this to the Central Register or do you want MHP to do MHP?
I can say that I have never done it personally. That's why.
Yes, do you remember how it was last time?
Our Assistant Town Administrator, that is, our Procurement Officer and he did it for us. Okay. Okay. Listen, Kollam. Okay, Kollam. I think we are very close. Big help. Very enthusiastic. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Before the end of today's meeting, I will send these drafts to everyone. Then everyone will receive the updated documents. Thank you for all your efforts. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. I am happy to see you. I am also happy.
Okay. It is 1727, on the other side of Inam. Thank you for your forgiveness. Do we need another day for the council? I think that's enough for us. I was about to ask that. Okay. Yes, I think we're all ready. Okay.
Thank you. I'm happy to see you. Good night.
See you. You too. Okay. Brandon, let's get started. Once again, Brennan Giblin, Principal Brennan Properties, 1727. I have with me Sarah, from MCO, MCO, to answer questions about paperwork and applications. But first, I thought I'd give you a small update. As we predicted, we had a fast-paced schedule. We started the process. We completed the demo process. Demo is over. The site works of the construction site have started. Concrete has been filled 2-3 times for the footing of the foundation. Foundation works will start next week. Our main goal is to complete the construction of the foundation and start the construction of the construction site. When the foundation is completed, we will move to site works and utility connections, but the construction of the construction site is now in progress. Therefore, we are very happy that we were able to start things. We completed all the things that Christine and others had to do before the construction. We have completed many things so far. Therefore, we are happy to be able to move forward. As I said in the last video, I wanted to make an effort before moving to reimbursements and grants. That is still my goal. I would like to see some improvements. I think we can talk about the next generation, the budget for construction, and the things that will be reimbursed for previous expenses. But I pay more attention to the improvements in the permanent construction activities. There is one more thing to say, that is, we can think about a floodplain. I think it is a great honor to be able to carry out the procedures that you can afford with the help of your board. This is a pleasant story. I think everyone should know this. After the site is cleaned up and there are a few more improvements, it would be nice to hold an event or a festival in September. Remember that the Courtney on your board had expressed interest in this. We can talk directly about the mechanisms for this and what to do about it, or we can join with the board members and discuss. But you have to decide who to take responsibility for this.
Do you want to support this? Yes. Hi, Brendan. I'm Colin. I'm happy to help you support this. Okay. That would be great.
I think it would be better to do this by the middle of September. Is that what you think?
Yes. You know, it's still a good time. There is sunlight. When I see everything, I feel that the work on the site is progressing quickly. I am happy to see that it is coming together. Yes, if we wait for another two weeks, I think we can complete some of the underground things and the subgrade to a certain extent. So it can be more convenient. Yes. So if you want to contact me via email, we can arrange next week's time.
Okay. Thank you. If you don't have any questions about me, I think there will be some questions to ask you. I'm happy to answer when needed, but if you don't have any other questions, I'll let you speak to you. Yes. I'm fine. Good. I think everyone can hear what I'm saying.
Yes, I am ready to answer any of your questions. Anything? Any questions?
Christian, do you have any other questions? I know that Sir and the others in MCO have discussed this. I think that everything has been done in a good way. But... No, I don't have any more questions. I know that Sir and I have also conducted a lot of discussions about changes. I don't have any more questions. There is only one thing to say. Some changes have been made in the meeting packet. Some emails have been changed and it has been made clear that the Affordable Housing Trust is a local housing partnership. Then to the Trust. This is the request to be completed by the developer and submitted to HLC. This will be subject to the HLCU's approval. The select board will then submit the trust in the form of a local housing partnership. The HLCU will then decide. Sir can explain this better than me, but he only briefly explained what we are doing here. Let me inform you that I have examined this and have made the necessary adjustments to clarify some things with the HLCU. The survey from my side is now ready. Christian, I have another question. You may have answered all this, but is the difference in size between affordable units and market rate units below 1%? Yes, it is more than 1% for those who can afford it. So, they are almost the same. Um, yes, thank you. I know that was my biggest question. Sarah pointed it out. HLC, HLC, you made it clear, and I'm satisfied with that. Okay, yes. It's a little over one percent of the size that can be lowered by one percent. So... Chairman, yes. I had two questions. We can include some of the things that Christine pointed out in this video. On the Municipal contact details page, there is information about the Housing Authority and the Trust. As far as I know, the Housing Authority has no part here. So we can remove those contact details.
On page 5, there was a wrong email and contact details, and I know that it was deleted.
Yes, I am looking at the packet. There are no page numbers next to me. That is page 27 of the packet. The top of it is Municipal Contact Details. Under the Chair Local Housing Partnership, our Chair Mr. Kusher and Housing Authority Chair Jack Kelly are also there. I don't think the Housing Authority will intervene in this way. And, yes, another comment on this page is about Williams. Imel Vilasam, the changes we made in the last one or two days. Yes, Brian, those are good points. Sarah sent me a report on those changes. A little before this meeting, I couldn't send it at any time, but those changes are different from what you see. Okay. Finally, this is my introduction. On the 66th page of the packet, it says about utility allowance schedules. The highlighted numbers are below the headline that says low-rise, 3 or 4 units. It extends to the page 106 to calculate the maximum rent. That is page 106 of the packet. Yes, I was wondering if it was appropriate to use allowances within 5 or more units in the high-rise section. Let me quickly review those utility allowances and then I'll tell you. Yes, I feel that your decision is more appropriate, but it felt a little different to me. High rise means 5 floors or 5 units? It means 5 or more units in the bracket.
But that's not what I meant. High rise means 5 floors with a lift on top. Okay. So, as I said, I accept your decision. If it's 3 or 4 floors, that's fine. The other thing I wanted to say was, Thank you. Units, I think. Let me check another thing quickly. But, let's see how many floors there are. We have at least four floors. Oh, yes, that would be low-rise.
Okay, good. Excuse me. Thank you. Okay, do you have any other questions? No, no. Thank you all. Yes, please avoid that. Thank you. Okay, thank you.
Thank you. Have a good night, everyone.
Have a good night. You too. Thank you. Okay, next is an update on 25 Worcester Street. Christian, continue. We don't have to do this right now. But we have to submit this Rega Trust to the Select Board at any time. Is there any reason not to do it tonight? If you want, you can vote officially and decide. Okay, yes. You are suggesting that we vote tonight, right?
Only if there are no changes in it.
Then on the 5th page, there were corrections. Yes, I think that's it. I think it's a good idea that the crust always has to be rewound. Now Mr. Kusher's name is on the line, for a small change in it. It was possible to avoid having to rewound the line after rewinding. Therefore, I suggest that the trust should vote to approve the local action unit with changes in the contact details as suggested by Christine. I am a pindam. Okay. A suggestion and pindam have also come. Are there any more discussions? I don't hear anything else. Those who agree, agree. Those who oppose, agree. Okay. Local Auction Unit has accepted the request. Okay, now 25 Wester Street. Do you have any details about that?
No, there are no practical changes. That is, after submitting the requests for the project, they will be waiting in line. To inform everyone, I have included some details in the packet, but there is nothing practical. That is, If you have any questions about this, I am happy to talk to you. The Grafton Historical Society has posted a beautiful picture of the old wedding in the past one or two days. So it is a good thing that they present the old things and include some details in it. Yes. Yes.
In short, I sent a lot of information to my aunt. I didn't get much money, but I know that their team is investigating it. In the past, I had asked the trust to ask if it was possible to include the required fees in their budget. They think that's what they're investigating right now. Some of the things I sent were an effort to calculate how much that amount was. There are good and bad news in it. One of the things they needed to avoid was the ZBA filing fees. Our 40B filing fees is a fixed amount of $5000 for each market rate unit. If the entire development is to be provided, that fee will be reduced to $5,000. That was a good news. But if the building permits are not removed, I don't know what the future plans will be. That is, if they are not removed, what is the situation? But the main question I have to ask Andy is about the public participation that we talked about. When is the most appropriate time to do that? I don't know what his prediction is on the matter of getting back from the government after submitting the project eligibility letter. If it is a long-term process, there is no need for a large number. However, some discussions have started in the public. That's why I want to do things as soon as possible. But I have no idea about the timing.
According to the timetable we received, there was a 6-month difference between submitting the application and receiving the letter. Okay, in the timetable. But I haven't talked to him about this recently. I haven't received it. More new information about this from him. But I am happy to ask him. Does he think he can come to our next meeting?
We can discuss things, right? Yes, I can write this. Yes. Great. Good.
Is there anything else? 1025 Worcester Street.
The next agenda is to discuss outreach activities in Vaavi. Yes. We thought this was a good idea. Okay. Yes.
I don't know if there is anything new that you would like to say about 25-ne. Yes. Or when is it possible to do this in nature? Yes. In the last meeting, I volunteered you because you were not there.
About the logistics you did for CPC. Yes. I am thinking about creating a general legulega in the Kail-Karudhan area. If there is any information required to hold a general outreach meeting in 25 Worcestershire, we can do that. But... I am interested in what they are doing even in town meetings.
People should know what we are doing. So it should be visible to everyone. Yes, I can do that.
I know that some of the questions you sent are in this. It will be a good introduction to this.
Yes, I will share with you the rega that you have prepared. There are some details in it that I think are good to include. Good.
Thank you. Can we take eight steps? For Kristi. Oh, sure.
Let's listen to the report of the Planning and Community Development Director.
Christina Treasurer is not interested in listening to the report. He may be interested, but I would like to have an option. You know that, right?
Sometimes you have to go a few minutes early. I will say this briefly. I had received some pieces of advice that the trust would be interested. One was an opportunity from the MHV. That is, If anyone is interested, I can ask more about this. There is no other reason. This is an opportunity that is not needed in this meeting itself. A lot of things are going on right now, so this may not be the right time, but I just wanted to draw your attention. Then, there was a letter from SCB Housing. Such things are sometimes received in our office about other local lotteries, i.e., This is on the page. Please forgive me. Continue. This is on the web page of the Trust website.
Oh, it's on the web page of the Trust website, isn't it? So, I just wanted to show you that I got this. Great.
Yes, it's as good as how much we can publish these things. I'll post a post about this later.
People like to see this. They don't always look at the town website or trust page. But if you put it on social media, they will definitely notice it.
I only have this. This is one of the points that attracted me when I looked at the MHP flyer sent by you, Christian. I didn't say anything negative about it. This is what they said as an example of financial aid. Select board believes that it is necessary to provide aid to the poor and need help to make the communities healthy. When it comes to talking more clearly about the 25 U.S.A., I can accept anyone who is more experienced than me. Okay. We can make use of that project. And... Okay. Yes, I can take that into consideration and if you are interested, I can give you more details about it. Yes. Yes. No problem at all. This is definitely something we can look forward to. Good. Okay. Do you have anything else to ask Christine? No. Thank you very much. Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay. Let's go back to the Treasurer Report. Definitely. So, two things. The first is very simple. The fund tracking update in June. There is no big month. Only the bill that we accepted as a Harrington Heap in the meeting after the regular salary. Also, we have received an income of nearly $10,000. One thing to note. This year's final income has increased by more than $90,000. To make the situation clear, at the beginning of the year, the CPC received a $84,000 grant, and by the end of the year, it received a $93,000 deposit. So you understand this, right? This is not a small amount of money we get. Yes, it will continue like this, especially in the beginning of the year, when discussions are held about the return of CPAs. If a good balance is maintained, it is good to know that an income growth will always exist. In short, at the end of the year, we have a fund of $1.6 billion. Of these, approximately $5 lakhs has been transferred to the grant for the 1727 Worcester project. However, there is still a fund of less than $1.5 lakhs in the hands of the trust. Secondly, I want a vote to be taken in this. This way, the first six months of the year, the report can be sent to the CPC as a complete report. Now, it includes a total of 26 free financial years. Three projects have been included in it. I thought I should include it in the $900 admin expenses spent on the affordable housing forum, but I didn't do that in the tracking file. So, I didn't want to change anything in this section. So, project 1 is the 10% of the last year's grant. That is, $8,422 per year. Project 2 is $90 spent on food and other things in the Affordable Housing Board. Then Project 3, under the 1727 Upton Street Grant, there was a payment of $53,000 or $54,000 per year. In addition to the project cost of FY2-R and the payment, I have also added questions that will come when the CPC gets it. According to our grant, the CPC has to submit a report twice a year. I think they will use this to explain to the state how to use RCPA funds. So, it's better if we can give it to them as soon as possible. Does anyone have any questions? I have always been ready for you to do all this.
Next year, as a treasurer, I decided to give you a name suggestion. Never. Just that you have raised the status very high.
It should always be you.
Okay. Do you have any suggestions? Move. Good. Where do you want to go? I suggest that you submit two six-page reports to the CPCKF via Dishamsham to confirm the release of the Treasurer's report. Second, sign. I signed and signed. Are there any more discussions? None. Those who approve. Approve. Approve. Those who oppose. Okay. The suggestion has been passed.
Thank you. Then Amber, I have something to tell you about what we sent last time. I sent you a note to forward to CPC. Right? Or I can do the same. I can make a small note for you. In short. Good. The minutes of yoga. Are there any changes or changes in the minutes?
May 14th, 2026, I intend to approve the minutes for yoga. Second, I will postpone it.
Are there any more discussions? None. Those who approve, approve. Approve. Okay.
Approved the minutes.
There is only one thing left in the agenda. Since some parts are not available today, shall we move this to the next agenda?
Okay. Good.
Okay.
I was talking about breaking the yoke at the end. Oh, no. There's one more thing. Breaking the yoke.
I'm asking for permission. Okay.
Do you have permission?
I'm breaking the yoke.
