Affordable Housing Trust - Regular Meeting

Let's start the meeting. Okay. The first thing on the agenda is the opinions of the public.

We need to conduct a hazard survey to make sure everyone online can do it. Yes.

Thank you for reminding us, Brian. Okay. Yes. Let's start from the people in the room. Sara Salvi is here.

Brian is absent.

Megan Vertino is here. Colleen. Colleen is here. Then Nicole. Nicole is here.

Okay.

Everyone is here. Good. Thank you. Okay. Then, a new opinion. Is there anyone online? No one has raised their hand in Zoom. Okay. Okay. Let's move on to the next item. The fund for the Affordable Housing Trust. I know that Dan is interested in moving from the chair position. Then Brian is a treasurer. Do you have any other official positions to fulfill?

No, I am satisfied with the way it is. If there was a lack of support, I could have joined anywhere. But I am fine. I will continue as a treasurer. Okay, as the board likes. Okay, I am fine. Then chair position.

I have been wanting to take over this position in this committee for two years. So, yes. This is an opportunity to study. I have two years of experience. I am waiting to learn more things. Do you have any questions, Colleen? If you are ready, I am ready to make a suggestion. Certainly. Let's start.

I am suggesting that you be the chair of the affordable housing trust. Then what? Okay, I got the instructions and the document. Is there any discussion?

Thank you. Okay. Okay, since there is nothing else, I accepted the instructions. We have to conduct the hazard test. Okay. Sarah, yes.

Brian, yes. Megan Vertino, yes.

Colleen. Colleen, yes. Nicole. Nicole, yes.

Okay, let's go. The instructions have been passed. Okay. Okay, let's move on. Let's talk about the updates in 1727. Yes. I don't know if Vice-Chair wants Colin to continue, but let's see if anyone else is interested. Vice-Chair, let's hold a vote in the Freshers' House. Certainly. In the meantime. Yes.

I have no objection to continuing in this place. But if anyone else is interested, I am ready to give it away. Everyone can do whatever they want. As the Treasurer of the Affordable Housing Trust, I am suggesting that Brian Langan and Vice Chair Colin Rowe be re-elected. I will postpone it. Okay, postpone the suggestion and postpone it.

Is there any discussion? I don't think so. Okay. Let's do the voting. Okay. Sarah, Anugulam.

Brian, Anugulam.

Megan, Anugulam. Dan, Anugulam. Colin, Anugulam. Colin, Anugulam. Okay. Good. Brian and Colin have won. Okay. Okay. Good. Now let's go to 1727 Appen Street. Yes, do you want to talk about your reference letter?

Yes, we can talk about that letter. It will be a small matter. Yes, definitely. This letter is part of the complete request sent to the institution. It was not included in the packet we examined last time. This was in the select board packet. It is an important document. Therefore, I would like to make sure that it has been seen and accepted by the trust. This is an application, that is, HLC and HLCY are working to include the local government in the application and leasing process. They may or may not be allowed to do so, but we will include it. It has been decided to vote as part of the application accepted earlier. Once it is accepted, it can be sent to the next state. My suggestion is that Don must agree to the request, because if the trust accepts, that is what was decided beforehand. That's right. Whether the entire request for this letter is to be accepted again or whether it is only talking about this letter, is the decision.

That's what I thought you would do. Yes, that's right.

I suggest that the Affordable Housing Trust should accept the requests made and accepted by the local government before the announcement held in the pocket last night. Yes, that's right. That's right.

Did you make any changes to the proposal? Is there any discussion on this? Thank you, Christian. Thank you. Okay, since there is nothing else, I will stop making changes to what Brian said. I need to approve this. Okay, let's do the voting. Sarah, approval. Brian, approval. Megan, approval. Dan, approval. Colin, approval. Nicole, Anugulam. Kollam. Nannay, Nanni. In your experience, does this happen in other projects or is it a 50-50 chance? Umm, I don't know. Because a lot of things have been added to this.

The number of next projects has increased. But I don't see this as a problem.

Yes, it is right to give priority to the Grafton community. Because this is in Grafton, isn't it? Okay, great. Great. Thank you for your work for this. Okay. So, let's get started. Yes, is this a good time to introduce me?

Yes, keep going. Okay. My name is Brendan Giblin, and I represent the development team and the general contractor. Yes, what you said is a good thing. We have a lot of work to do. I have worked with Colin and Amber, and I don't know if anyone has had the opportunity to test this. But we are very excited about this opportunity. I think this is a good opportunity to work together, even if there are no results. I think this is a great success for development and the Affordable Housing Trust. So it will be exciting to go there. Let's talk about the update on the site. Things are going well. A small update on the construction. The site has been completely renovated, and a large part of the restoration work to remove dirt and debris has been completed. Everything is complete by this afternoon. After the tests, they are ready to be changed. Other work is also going on. As soon as the lockdown is over, we started work on the other side of the building. The second parking lot is being cleaned. Foundation work and utility work are also going on. The foundation work is almost complete. Booger Bus Lab work is going on now. Next, the steel work and framing will begin immediately. We are very happy with the progress according to the schedule from the start. It seems that the construction of the building is taking place at the right time. Therefore, there will be a place there that we can agree on on September 24. That is, I know that you are handling the work of the town office and various board members. We have also created a guide for those who are related to the development activities of those who are outside tomorrow. They will also be interested in this. I have not thought about PR and PR issues. I was not sure if you intended to report this event by calling one of the local newspapers. We will try to inform one or two local newspapers about this.

Yes, Colin, I can see you raising your hand.

I am in touch with Melissa McKenna, who is a community advocate and a field worker. They do reports for Idaiki's Grafton News. So, I have covered those two parts. Okay. There may be a small problem in the worst-case scenario.

But we are preparing a plan. Let's take a look. Anyway, I think there will be a good crowd to celebrate this event. After accepting this project from our part, did we talk to the two major departments that had to be linked to the planning, not us? CPC, CPC, CPC.

Select the border. Okay. This ZBA, ZBA hasn't been included directly in this. Yes, they haven't been included in this.

I don't know. You can ask them if you want.

But... That would be their interest. Are we going to have a photographer there? When ribbon cutting and other things are being done, are all those images ready to be shared?

That is, is it like a mud-cutting construction site or is it in another way? This is a question. I think we can do a ribbon cutting when we open it. But we are thinking about a shed using mud. Of course, we can arrange a photographer and distribute some pictures. So, we can take care of those things from our part. Okay, that's good to hear. Call in. Another question I have about this is about parking. When I go to that place now, I see where the workers park their vehicles.

Do people have to park there or where do you want to direct them? I think it should be outside of Velu, next to Upton Street.

We have put some stones there, so it will be good. We will try to move all the vehicles to the side, so we will get a good place. Great. Thank you. Then I have a question about PR. Shall we create an avalokana rega with pictures and renderings about the project without press release itself? In this, we will include the timeline, developer, and things that need to be delivered. An avalokana rega that can be easily used by community advocates to read and write things. Can we do something like that? Yes, I had planned to do something like that immediately from our side. Okay. It can be done as a handout, and it can also be done by saying a few things that make it clear. If we have to submit anything that describes the process and the final result in the form of PR after action, We will definitely make it ready and show it to the board and look for your opinions.

Okay. Yes, I think we can take one more part of the trust that will be given later. For those who do not know what is being built there, this will be a good opportunity to understand things. In addition, it will be an opportunity to share more about our trust. All Things Grafton or Town of Grafton, as seen on the Facebook page, can we make something like that, like the official letters required to join the committee? I don't know who this is, but if it's written like this, we can use it in the same format. Okay. Good. Do you have anything else to say?

That's all I have to say about the small update on the construction. I want to make sure that what I have in my hands is almost a week old. So I'm going to update it. I can send this to your board to see which phase of the construction we are in. I think... The second thing I have to discuss is that we have made a major announcement for this construction phase. However, I decided to submit this as a review of the yoga and the time-lapse process, after this yoga. I can submit it in the morning. I think we can talk about it and make it available in your next hearing. I think you usually do that. But by the time it was completed, this yoga would not have had enough time. Also, I did not want to do it in a hurry because it was the beginning of this method. I think this is a special achievement. Are you making a calendar and a view of the rest of the grand spending? I can process it in a clear way. I think the goal is to keep those funds in hand. What we did in this initial request is that we only removed a small part of the actual costs. I felt that it would come within this limit itself. In connection with the initial activities, there are various expenses such as municipal fees and water connection fees. I am sure that it can be prepared. But we tried to extend those payments to the middle part of the construction. Of course. If you get anything before our next meeting, can you send it to the council as a survey? Because this will be the first thing the new council will be surveying. So, I'll give them a chance to survey it. Nicole raised her hand. She... Nicole, do you have any questions?

I thought it was him. I don't know about David Moore, but... Mike Moore, Mike Moore, or Dave Meridian. Yes, Dave was on my list. But I'm not sure about Mike Moore. But... Of course, it's possible.

Yes, I'm happy to connect with Dave or Mike.

I can be anyone. I've really loved Dave so much.

He's the man in the cloud connected to this project. So he has a lot of work to do. If you're interested in connecting with Mike, that would be great. He's a pain in the butt.

Good.

Okay. Good. Okay. Do you have anything else to say about that? Good. Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you very much for all the activities you have done for this outreach, Colin. Thank you. Okay. So, yes. No.

Do I have anything to ask? Yes. That's all I think. Good. Everything seems to be good.

Yes, thank you, thank you.

Okay, thank you.

We'll get in touch. Okay. Next is 25 Worcester Street. Then, welcome, aunty.

Hello. I have good news. About this disease. We are in touch with IOHLC. Our project has been approved in the Eligibility Letter. That is the key to the overall development and progress of the funding process. The site was decided by the founder two weeks ago. He liked it very much. He believes that senior housing is a great place, and we have also conducted a budget for the place where it is needed. We have received a budget. We have not received it officially, but we expect to receive it within the next week. The good news is that the amount of land we donated through RFP for this site is less than the amount of land on the site. So, the city will get credit for any amount of land on the site. This will be very helpful for some of the funding sources we are researching, and it will also reflect the nature of the city with the infrastructure that it needs. So it's a good thing. To be honest, it's like avoiding a bad thing, because if we spend more than the price of the site, we will have a lot of problems. But if we are less than the size of the site, things will move forward easily with eOHLC. At this site, we have done a lot of work to complete engineering and architectural work and prepare 40 buildings. Let me introduce you to my partner, Nohashur. Noah, say hello. Hello, I'm happy to see everyone. The project manager of this site is Noah. Last year, he was with us part-time from August 1 to full-time project manager. So I'm Mike. or the podium will be handed over to Noah. He will explain where we are now, what the next stages are, and how the program will be. But we are very happy that we will receive the funding required to realize this great project. Thank you, Andy. Therefore, we expect that we will immediately receive the loan related to the project. We expect to receive it in the next two weeks or in a few weeks. We are preparing the necessary things for the approval of the permit. Before preparing the approval of the permit, we have to apply for pre-development funding. Therefore, we are discussing the subsidies that are currently being paid. We are preparing everything we can for that. If possible, most of us will have to extend the auction period. We plan to extend the auction period to a year. But the happy news is that the funding for this project and similar projects is increasing. Let me add one more thing to this. There have been major changes in those subsidies due to the rise in the state of Washington. This includes the need for older citizens to make more money or to move out of senior housing that they can afford. I don't think that the elderly who only live in social security can make a profit in a situation where they don't need housing assistance. But I think there is a change in that. No matter what happens in November, we expect that housing assistance for the elderly in the next year will increase significantly. That is why this is the biggest financial crisis we are facing. The problem is not the capital stock or funding stock used for this. This is a problem that continues to be a problem for the rich people who are struggling to make a living and make a living. Last year, the situation was very bad, but I think it will be 100% better next year. No matter what happens in November, this is bad news. Noah is an experienced person of his age. He is a great supporter of the community development of Clark. We are very happy to have him in our team. This kind of support will be for him. Noah, can you tell us what we are doing about the problems we have encountered on Earth? Of course. Thank you, aunty. I appreciate that. That's why we conducted a complete statistical analysis. Most of the data is accurate. There is only one problem with the old fire insurance standards. There is a problem with the old fire insurance standards. There is a problem with the old fire insurance standards. Those problems are not that clear. It is not visible in the following images, so there is a possibility that a tank may be found on the ground there. We have put forward an idea to conduct a ground penetrating radar survey. To check if the tank is there, we will accept all necessary measures. Otherwise, we can move forward with further measures. This is our next step and we are waiting for funding and permits. I would like to express my gratitude to the members of the Trust, to the other members of the City Council, and to those who have shared the history of the Old School. Because of the information they gave about the demolition of the Old School, we were able to ensure 90% certainty that there were no dangerous objects or tanks on Earth. There is no need for such expensive solutions. We have complete faith in it. We have complete faith in our institutional leadership. We could not reach this stage without the help of the volunteers and the villagers of this group. We believe that there is nothing problematic when we look at the details. So, thank you very much for all your help. Madam Chair, Yes, thank you both. I am happy to have met you. I am the person who approached you with doubts about some of the measurements described in the Anti-Project Yogita story. So, if there are any updates related to it, it will be of great help. Then, along with this, as we discussed earlier to ensure public participation, we would like to provide accurate information on the status of the Ayyalvasis and the public, as well as to avoid misrepresentation. We would like you to know that the activities related to this are always in progress. I believe that these activities will be beneficial for all of us, as ZB is an active member of the community. I would like to know what your opinion is. To answer your question about the city council fees, I will repeat it briefly. In other words, the construction of your place is an expensive matter. Therefore, we are preparing a budget with a full fee. However, We can't say for sure that some fees will not be reduced. Because, as I said earlier, it costs a lot to run the construction here. There may be a good reason for that. I'm not asking that. But when we make requests for funding, we have included full fees in the budget. We also believe that public participation is necessary. This will be explained by Noha. Of course, we were discussing this. We are planning to start more discussions on this topic with the help of Ayyalvasis after we get the project agreement. As you said, we will try not to give wrong information about this topic. Everyone will be able to get answers to their doubts, to make things clear, and to make changes in the course of these initial changes. Certainly. Can you explain that? What exactly do you mean?

Is that a letter? Is that a call to prayer? What are we? What will be the nature of the prayer? All this is one thing. Okay.

Okay, so let's start with the first part. Then, I think it's important to understand that we are doing two things at the same time. One, it's a useful activity that we need to do for the 40th anniversary. The other is a common community event. It includes details about the plan, the location, those who are willing to stay there, as well as opinions on design issues. In particular, as you may remember from our presentation, we would like to present you with a very interesting place with walks and wonderful facilities. Not only for the residents, but also for their friends, relatives and others. Therefore, it is necessary to give feedback on the design. As I said earlier, you know how many square feet each unit needs, how much space is required for halls, govani paris, and community rooms. Even if the funder is in charge of the construction, there are a lot of opportunities for designers and community members to share their opinions on the design. Our faith is always in the best of the best. You can see it in the Heywood Wakefield Commons community in Garner. We have a great design team for this. Noha, can you tell us a little bit about the design team? Certainly. We work with Bowler Engineering, which helped RFB, and with very well-known DHC Architects. They have made wonderful plans. As Andy said, there is still a lot of room for changes in landscape plans, site plans, and everything outside of the building. So, as you said, we are planning to send letters first and then call community organizations. We will be able to receive the best feedback as soon as possible. As a part of that, we know that we are not interested in creating barriers, right? But if you want this to be a joint effort, I do not want to speak for the trust, but I think they will be interested in it. We are ready to participate in a joint effort or in the joint funding for sending those letters if you need anything. So let us know what you want from our part or what kind of support you would like. I think it is very important for the community to know that the Affordable Housing Trust focuses on the needs of different parts of the population. I'm not sure if there's a button for that on the Zoom platform, but if there is, I'd do it right now. I think it is important for us as a community to inform the developers and the community that we are coming from Boston and that we are coming from Boston and that we are coming from Boston and that we are coming from Boston and that we are coming from Boston and that we are coming from Boston and that we are coming from Boston and As I told you, more than 10 years ago, WCHR, WCHR, and Commons Senior Assisted Living Facility of Hayward Wakefield were established in Gardiner Hill. It is a great honour for the community and WCHR today. Those who are there and want to see what kind of life they lead today have the opportunity to visit that community. I am happy to be part of the tours to celebrate that opportunity. We would like to see such a wonderful community in Worcester Street. Yes, I support that. We support that opinion. We will definitely accept your proposal. If we all work together, I think this will work out in the best possible way. How long do you think it will take? What do you think about continuing to conduct joint consultations and scheduling a meeting? I am trying to be precise. However, we plan to think about this within two weeks after receiving the PEL and PEL. After that, we can take about a month's time for consultation, either within one or two weeks, or according to your instructions. Yes, definitely, we are trying to start these community activities as soon as possible. Okay. To tell you the truth, it will take a few more months to submit 40B applications, and the applications for financial assistance from the state will be after that. One thing we don't know now is when funding opportunities will open in EOHLC. They have a pre-application. They must submit the general information and funding required for the program to the institution. They will then submit a full application called one-stop. Our friends in the tourism department can learn about one-stop. But this year, the time for that has been extended. Moreover, now there is no help for rent. So it will be a waste of time. It will be a waste of time. It will be a waste of time. It will be a waste of time. It will be a waste of time. It will be a waste of time. It will be a waste of time. It will be a waste of time. It will be a waste of time. HLC is awarding funding awards according to the benefits of federal funds and rental assistance. That's why I'm guessing. This is just a guess. This is not a last word. You know you don't have to force us. This is just my opinion.

I'm saying this with good faith. Okay.

My greatest achievement in pre-application is that I will be able to submit a complete application at the beginning of spring or winter. This is our current situation. Again, we are relying on the funding of the state, but we would like to be fully prepared when the opportunity arises. Design, legal matters, engineering, everything was done from the very beginning. All the requirements were met, and now we are carrying out the preparations. So, when the time comes, we can immediately move forward. So, to be realistic, According to my best calculation, we can get funding in about a year. Okay. So, after a year, we can start introducing the local community. We would like to encourage local people to look for opinions and to promote this method. Mike Moore is a good friend of this agency. He has participated in many activities and organizations. We will introduce other legal parties to implement policies similar to this. We need to introduce them. We need to make sure that there are policies in the city. We need to make sure that there are suggestions, opinions, and opinions on the formation and implementation of policies in the city. We need to develop policies. That is why I am looking at this as a representative of WCHR and not as an individual. We need to find the time to develop this system for one year and to accept the feedback, as well as to conduct proper research on practical things, design, and expenses. Then, this ground penetrating radar survey has to be done very quickly, so we can avoid it from our expectations. Apply local guidance, accept opinions, eliminate all risks or as many risks as possible. When demanding funding for this institution, it will take us to the situation where they say, Dan, you have completed everything. So let's get started. Therefore, for the next year, I am planning to join the city and avoid the risks of accepting opinions and growing the seed. I am not speaking for anyone. I think he would agree with this, but it is very important to grow the local seed. Noha, yes. What Andy said is true. When we ask for funding, that funding will be of great help to us. On the other hand, it will be very difficult for us to make changes when we ask for funding or when we can get funds. So, if we are able to accept opinions for the next year on how to act and grow the city, we will be able to include more things in the design. If we think about the Affordable Housing Trust, last October we held our first discussion session. That day, we discussed some issues related to the various affordable housing systems in Massachusetts. So, the plan is to do that again. We have not decided when to do it, but I think it is a good opportunity to combine both. So, in such cases, such voluntary movements come before us. We play a major role in making it happen. You come as a special representative. Before that, as part of the preparation, we will send a letter to the nearby residents and the community that we decide. We invite them to the meeting with a special time set aside for this project, and we continue to conduct discussions on the issue of the price to be paid. Therefore, this is not an official event, it is open for discussion and feedback. My wish is this, I ask this group, I would like to hear your opinions as well. Shall we plan another meeting in the near future as we did in the Community Harvest Agreement? Shall we hold a meeting on the Affordable Housing Trust in Grafton and invite a guest speaker from outside? I know that one person may not be able to come, so another person may be able to bring people from outside the central mass or other affordable housing trusts. Then you need to explain about this project. If there is any feedback about the project, it would be a great opportunity to share it. Here are some renderings and designs. Let's make a process about how we can receive feedback. Um, does that sound like a good idea? That's one, yes. What is everyone's opinion about it?

I really liked it. Okay, good.

Yes, I think it's very meaningful. Then, I don't know if the government is trying too hard to implement this in this time, but when I think about the people and people in the area I am in contact with, I understand. And I don't want to trouble them in advance. Let them forget this, and when the 40B process starts again, we can try not to lose interest in it. And also, in my opinion, it would have been better if WCHR had taken some materials with them when they were doing something. For example, a legulege or a cathomato. And also, anything that could be included in our outreach activities. They can use things that they are familiar with and include important things that they think are important and make it happen. Yes, after that we can accept it, and then when we plan something like a joint forum, we can include it in it. Yes, I think that's right. Yes, yes, that's right. So, on the one hand, I really like the way you think. When we count the monthly financial contributions, it is a consistent process to collect the money that can be given to a local community. Certainly, we would like to be a part of it. Okay. Yes, I am very happy to hear that. It will be a good start. If you feel that you need a special meeting on this project after that, we can decide on it according to the reactions. It will be a good start. You may know that the time is short, but if you get the materials from your part in the months of January and February, then we can start the outreach activities. At that time, we can discuss things and plan something in April, May or June. a bit before the Venal period, so we can attract more people. Even if these seem like far-fetched things, time will pass quickly. We have to keep that in mind. Okay, it's good to hear this from your part. What do you think of the trust's part? I think it's a good idea. At the same time that these letters are sent, I would like to take the opportunity to conduct a presentation with Colin and the Select Board in front of the NDA Select Board. They don't have to vote for it or accept a position, but I know that there will be a lot of people who come to our meetings and see select board meetings. So, apart from other things to send letters, this can be used as another way to inform people about this meeting.

I fully agree with that idea. It is a great idea to introduce Andy and this project in front of the Select Board. Even if they do not have to give their opinion, it will help the public. Good. Okay. Yes, do you have anything else to say about the 25 Vestas trade?

I remind you once again to share with everyone the Hayward Wakefield Commons, which is our Garner project. If you see the Hayward Wakefield Commons, you will be amazed to see how much the senior living facilities are living, healthy and happy. That place in Florida is the happiest place on earth, people say. They haven't shared any comments with Hayward Wakefield. If possible, come and see. If you have any interest, please feel free to share. If a great agency, a great design team, and good managers come together, you can see what changes can be made. If you are on Facebook or anything else, check out the Hayward Wakefield Commons page. You can see senior citizens who are older than you being happy there. Even 80 and 90 years old people can see how beautiful it is there. If you see the videos there, you will understand. We would like to bring such an atmosphere to 25 Wester Street. So check the comments on Heywood Wakefield on social media. If you are interested, I can come and see it in person. Good. Thank you, aunty. We will let you know. Yes, I don't want to trouble anyone. I don't think everyone can come. However, if there is a meeting room there, I would like to ask if we can have a meeting there. But it will take a while. Okay. There are a lot of meeting rooms there. There is also a good chef. It's something to think about. Okay. Good. Okay. Thank you both. Thank you. Thank you, friends. Noha, I'm happy to have met you. Thank you. I'm happy to have met all of you. I'm happy to be working with you. I know that Noha will be ahead in this matter. He will be more than me. Please connect with him. The work with Noha will be good for you. Thank you. Certainly. If you have any doubts, don't hesitate to ask. We can connect.

Okay, it's good to hear.

Do you have the contact details of Nohi? Yes. Good. Thank you, friend. Thank you. Okay.

Next, there are updates about the high-point drive. Hi, Emma. Hi everyone. I'm happy to be able to meet you. Thank you. Thank you for your hard work. Oh, is there anyone from your legal counsel or Harrington Heap? No, that's what I think. No, they are not participating, but we have their last meeting.

I don't think they will have any more suggestions from what they have given. Okay, okay, good. I can share it with them at the right time.

Okay, I'm happy to hear that. Yes, AMBA sent me their latest draft this afternoon. So I got the opportunity to review it. I'm happy to hear that there is a discussion about the local mayor. So I think the board knows that process well. According to the language in this situation, the applicant wants to accept the local mayor. I want to make sure that the board is clear about how that process works. That is, it is a right to make it clear before HLS. So it's not something they can accept quickly. There are 40 BAs in it. So, how do you want to implement that language? Should it remain there? That's not a problem. But I want to make sure that the board is clear about how that process works. It's not something that happens on its own. And this should only be up to 70% of the units. This is about three units, so it can be two depending on how many units are being built. So, I don't know if there are any questions, or if anyone on the board knows about that process. Is that correct?

In RFP, instead of ADOPT, would it be an easy editing to change it to PURSUE? So, we expect an applicant to vote or they will vote locally. You can use the words of your choice to vote in advance.

I think that's what it means. Okay. One thing that can be made clear without any hesitation is that

Yes, I think it's a little more accurate language. But I'm allowing you to connect with a new draft. We're very close. Or if you want to connect directly with that, is there a way you like to change the words? Let me say, I don't know if I expected the voting to take place tonight. But if that's the case, I don't want it to stop in the name of this. I think you have understood the purpose of the trust well. I leave the words to your experience and the speakers. Or Christian, um. So that's my opinion. Second,

In the case of trust, some things can be calculated in the RFP system. We can calculate the parts that are not important. We don't have to calculate it separately and change anything. But since it is a small change, I can change it to any part. I will have to check one more time. I am not sure if it is in that category. I am not sure if it has been proven in the financial statements. So, I think what you are saying is correct. It is just a pretext. But I don't think it has a score. Do you understand? Yes.

My final opinion on this is that it is not a problem even if it is maintained as it is, because it is allowed under the 40B law, and it is not a problem even if it is changed to convey a more clear language. It is also not a problem, because it is the end, and if it is wrong, it should be said, such a person would be the one to write this letter to request. So, it will be a down payment. It will be done by going to the agent who pays the subsidy and being approved or not. So... Yes, that's what I can understand.

As you can understand from this conversation, I think you all know very well how Mr. Mungana is behaving. I wanted to make sure that you all know very well what the board is asking and how that procedure is being carried out. I think you all know that. That was my main wish. Let's make this part the same. I agree. Okay. This is the last thing to do before posting it on the Central Register. I was on leave for the last three weeks. So when I returned this week, I did not want to add a lot of drafts. So I sent the directions about what to include in those documents to Christine, Amber, and then a board member from the trust. Madam Chair, I have only one opinion about the proposed proposals, or the second bullet point of the question. Questions should be submitted at least one week before sending the responses.

In my opinion, we will accept the questions and then make a general FAQ and present it. That is, the answers to all the questions that have been accepted. Therefore, I am thinking of moving forward a little further at the end of submitting those questions, just two weeks before we get a response. If that's the case, we'll get a week to submit questions. Also, those who submit questions to RFP will get at least one week to review our questions. But since you are doing this more than me, I reject your decision. Yes, that's right. I think there are many similarities here. Sometimes, you don't have to post new questions or questions that have been submitted. So, if you have any questions, you can send an update. For that, the RFQ will receive all your email prices, and those who request will receive these updates. So, this program can definitely be changed.

It's not wrong to do it two weeks in advance. Okay.

Yes. My other suggestion is that we can use the guidance we have received in the most effective way. If we post this, it will be through the Procurement Officer and I think it will work. We can also accept their advice on what to include in the post. Okay. Good. Amber, you said that this will be William himself and you can post it. Okay.

I am asking you to make sure that I am helping you the most. Is it William or Kaikaryam who usually adds subtitles? Will it be helpful if I send you a message? This is a sensitive matter. Because this will be decided by the person who posts it, right? Yes. But, no. He has done a lot of such things. That is, I will show him. Yes, absolutely right. I will let you know what the last thing you gave is. Okay, that's good to hear.

I believe that there will be some restrictions on some of the things that will be posted on the site after two weeks, for example. That is one goal. But if there is any reason, it will be posted on Wednesday. After that Wednesday, after two weeks, I believe that there will be some restrictions on other people who participate in the city, such as William, Amber, Tristan or others who participate in the part of the city. Therefore, I think so.

Yes, it will be a message to everyone again. Usually, those laws are confirmed in advance, so it will be ensured that everyone has the right to vote. So, of course, if that law is changed, let everyone know as soon as possible.

Yes, yes, so what I meant was the directions she had for William. So, yes, I am working on choosing a law that is appropriate for the people in our area. Also, I can assure you that you won't have to change it. But, I see that your emails and messages are a trick to get William to act. And... But, yes, you are right. Yes, this can never be changed.

I was about to make a suggestion, but Colin has raised his hand. Colin! Um, I don't remember anything at all. Was it on Wednesday or early in the morning? I was just saying. Um... No, I know. But that's a good idea.

Because town halls will be open until late at night.

So, it would be good if you could do that if you are interested in taking part in the people who are standing there until late at night. Otherwise, you won't have to stop them until late at night on Sundays, right? Okay.

I thought this was going to happen during the day.

Yes, it's usually 10 in the morning. I don't think I've gone to such a bad place. That happened later. I'm sorry about that.

Because it's difficult for me to get up at 10 in the morning. Okay, go home.

Do your diet regularly during lunch time. Keep your patients' time aside. It is not harmful. They will be fine. He will be fine. They will be fine. Everyone will be fine. No one is flossing. It is not harmful. Then, shall we make a promise in this holy place?

Therefore, before promoting the MHP's recommendations, I would like to recommend that the RFP Trust should be approved with our Procurement Officer Regulations. I am voting.

Okay, the Prime Minister has announced. I am voting. Is there any discussion? I don't hear anything else. Okay, we can vote through roll call. Sara, yes.

Brian, yes.

Megan, yes.

Then me, yes.

Pauline, yes. Nicole, yes. Good. Okay. Pramayam passed. Good. Okay. Thank you all. Thank you, Emma, for all your efforts in this.

Thank you, Emma.

Good. Thank you, Emma. Thank you all. I know this was a big deal. A lot of investigations were carried out in the register. A lot of changes were made. You all asked very good questions. This was a thoughtful process. I am eagerly waiting for the next sessions with you. So, if you can help me with anything in the future, please let me know. Or else, I will make a request for you from here.

Good. I have only one question for you, ma'am. Forgive me.

Will you send me a last deliverable package with the last document and documents? Is that how you're going to end this? I can do that. Yes, yes, I can do that. Then I think, let me think about it. You remember that I told you that I would give you a sheet of paper to use after you open it and score it. That's a scoring sheet. So I'll send you that scoring sheet. You can also send me a clean draft of this. So I can do it tonight or tomorrow morning. Emma, thank you once again. Great job. Thank you all. Thank you. Okay.

Okay. So, the general questions about the items that will be included in our agenda are for the trust and the community. There are two parts to this. This is related to the things we discussed about 25 Worcester Street. Get detailed information about 25 Worcestershire Street, as well as about all the buildings in Grafton. So, here are the questions I prepared. Amber did a very good job of investigating and adding details. Despite being a member of the trust and part of the community, I wanted to know what I wanted to know. Try to ask about any special projects or about the trust from all sides. For example, a general question, how much money does the trust have? What is the value of that money? Such things should be known to all of us as the ambassadors of the Trust. We are the ones who operate in the community. We see people. We say one thing, I am in the Affordable Housing Trust. Anyone can ask or raise doubts about this. So we should all be aware of this. From my experience, I did not know all this. I felt that I should have known about it when I was sleeping in the trust. I felt very confident when Amber told me all this. I thank her for that. I would like to ask the group. Let's make this a continuous update. This will be ready for our outreach meetings and community events like Grafton. If we have a booth or a lagoon, these details can be used quickly. This will reduce the burden of the job. So, asking the group what questions or details will be more helpful. If you have any special questions regarding the new building, you can ask. If there is anything to add to this, it would have been good to get your suggestions. Okay. Certainly.

Okay. The most important thing for us is that we have a housing department. Why do you need a trust? Okay. It would be helpful to clarify the difference between the two, because they are different. I don't think it's been proven here. Okay.

Housing authority.

Housing authority. Yes. Um. The biggest doubt I had before I joined the trust was that we had two divisions with this. Okay. Yes. Great. Generally speaking, since this is a changing region, I did not find the process of this so helpful. Yes, but I think this is a good start. In my first yoga session in July, we talked. I had asked to put a booth in Grafton Day, but I did not know what to do there. We did not have anything in our hands. So I think this is a good start. We can prepare anything. We don't have to do anything new every time, right?

In the last meeting, since CPC has done similar things, I had suggested that Colin should think about the legal form of this. Then, when I saw this questionnaire, I felt like putting these regular questions on our website in the form of FAQ. So, that's it.

Since there is a widget for this on the town website, it is possible for this too. Yes. It is very easy to add there. Yes, you can do that there. This can be used for general things.

In addition, when there are many projects like 25 West Street, we can add a special FAQ page or a short column for it. As far as some of the questions in this article are concerned, I will wait until W. Sister R. W. C. R. makes their legulega. One thing is that the procedure may be wrong. If anything has been left out of their legulega, we can add it. But I think the general details of what the purpose of the trust is are on the website. So, let's change it to FAQ Shaili. Umm, I can avoid some very specific things. Even though there are financial reports on how much money is in the trust's reserve, where do those funds come from? That's an answer. It's not going to change every month. So, Umm, when I look at this, I have a thought. This format, okay.

Last year, you conducted a goal workshop. I think it would be good to include it in this. And some of the gains from it. How are we doing in the last 12 months of including goals in FAQ? Some of the actions taken in those goals are the same.

Good. I have an interesting logistic question. Do we have a Google Doc or any other format that we can use?

There is a poem center on the city's website. So if you need, I can prepare a survey or something else. Okay, because we don't have to update it in between. But I was thinking that it should be there. You said Google Doc. I heard Google Form. I don't know what it is. Okay, that's fine. Forgive me. No problem. But I think it would be helpful if we all had admin access rather than sending emails back and forth. That's why I don't think that the open meeting rules will allow so many people. Because it is not legal for all of us to sit in the same place. I understand. But you can send me things. I can process it. And then you can implement it in the meetings. I understand. Okay.

Or we can do a little more useless... Let's run an art school. Okay. I'll put it forward again. Maybe we can do this. Wakefield. We can put Hayward Wakefield in the comments, because there won't be any video recording or anything else. In other words, we can combine a meeting and brainstorming that will help us achieve our goals. And, in other words, we can discuss these FAQ questions and answers. And, but I use it as a number. I think that a shared, jointly editable document will be the cause of legal problems. And, okay. Even so, it doesn't mean that we can't hold a meeting that is not that useful. Umm. Okay. Yes, I liked that idea. Because it would be easier to talk about what to include in this logo.

It's better than running an idea through an email. Because sometimes when we write something, the meaning may be misunderstood. Therefore, it would be good to be able to directly discuss what to say when sending it to the community. Okay. Another thing that I noticed in this reggae is that a lot of abbreviations that are not explained in one place have been used in this reggae. For example, we know what RFP is, but when it comes first in the reggae, it is better to write request for proposal fully and then give it as RFP. The reason is that those who know the terms that can be given do not need to know this, but those who do not look at FAQ and FAQ, right? Okay. Good. So, when is the best time to have such useless discussions? We don't have to decide right now. But how about taking a look at the number of meetings that can take place in the spring? Oh, Colin.

I'll talk to Andy and ask him when his tour time is. And then we'll decide accordingly.

Okay.

We don't have to use that idea. I just said one thing. Okay.

No, I liked that idea. Because we can take pictures there. It will strengthen our speech with 25 words. That's what we did with the wreck. We drove to Chapi. We saw the wreck. And that's important. Okay. I'm ready for a field trip. Okay.

Great! If we go in the car, I won't drive. I'm not a driver. I just said it. I can drive. Cool. I'm A2. I have a minivan. If anyone wants to come, I can come. Um. Cool. Okay. Okay. Do I have to contact my aunt or are you contacting her? I'm happy. What? Anyone can do it. Okay. Okay. Then, you can take care of it. You contact your aunt. We can arrange it. Okay. Cool. Yes. Then in the middle of the meeting, I know it will be difficult for you to sit with others and read a book. Sometimes the thoughts can go back and forth. It would be good to take your own time to think about it and decide. If you have anything more to add, you can definitely do so. Yes, before moving on to the next topic, do you have any other opinions or thoughts? No, I have opinions on some things. But we can talk in that meeting. There is something to be said about the 25 Worcestershire areas related to this. Because we feel that we have included a lot of things in our map that we first decided. That is, in the area we examined, or the area of radius. So when this goes to 40b, those 300 feet away will get a notice. If we start with the 755 that Amber prepared earlier, we will get all the next prices. The number of people who get ZBA, ZBA, ZBA notices will be less than the number of people who get ZBA, ZBA, ZBA notices will be less than the number of people who get ZBA, ZBA, ZBA notices will be less than the number of people who get ZBA, ZBA, ZBA notices will be less than the number of people who get ZBA, ZBA notices will be less than the number of people who get ZBA, ZBA notices will be less than the number of people who get ZBA, ZBA notices will be less than the number of people who get ZBA, ZBA notices will be less than the number of people who get ZBA, ZBA notices will be less than the number of people who get ZBA, ZBA notices will be less than the number of people who get ZBA, ZBA notices will be less than the number of people who get ZBA, ZBA notices will be less than What we are doing is to make it available on our website, share it on Facebook, and then use the select board to get information. Thus, these details should reach not only a few people but everyone. If we talk about the direct mailing, we would like to remind you that we have covered this much more than the number of people who receive this notice. Is my most important wish, Z, B, reaching everyone involved in this process? Therefore, I am fully satisfied with the distance that AMBAR has made during the period of making it sure and making it double. I just shared my opinions. But, it's good. That's just my opinion. If others have a different opinion, we can give it to as many people as we want. But I think it's right. Good.

Okay, okay, let's get started. Next agenda, Pressurer's Report.

So, there are no big things. That is, a small payroll, the invoices we accepted earlier, and then the income in installments. These details in the packet will not change, but let me tell you a small advance. The process of closing the financial year is still going on. So far, I have only received an activity list for FY27. Not a balance sheet, because the balances from FY26 to FY27 have not been transferred to the ledger yet. So, I can't be sure if the final balance of 1.7 billion is in line with them. But all the documents up to July 31 have been included in this. If we add up the CPI transfer that came in July 1, the balance is now more than 1.7 billion. Thank you.

Do you have any questions? Good. Thank you, Brian.

Okay, let's move on to the bill schedule. We have this invoice. Do we have to pass a motion to approve this? Yes, I am passing a motion to approve the invoice of $787.5 from Harrington HEPA. I am Pindam. Okay, I passed the motion and Pindam. Do we have a discussion?

In a discussion, do we get any email messages or how do we get these invoices normally? Or do they email directly?

It would have been better if they knew about the schedule of our meetings. This August invoice seems to have arrived just before our August meeting. They may be on due dates, but since they do not know about the meeting time, the payment should not be delayed. So, don't let them go without getting money for two months. Yes, we can just say that they have a normal income. I think there are three municipalities. If they get money, they will be happy. But... We need to let them know that we have a new chairperson. Yes. A few minutes later, we were talking about the Ashaevinameth with the Haringan Heap, whether it should be copied or sent to the chairperson. Um. Yes, it was for 25 Worcester Street. Yes.

Yes. So, if you don't mind me sending them through those emails, um or I don't know.

You can insult me. There is a lawyer there. My suggestion was this.

Just make sure that the person in the trust knows what's going on. Yes, it's like they say, to make sure they're doing it. I believe in Harrington Heap. I don't think they're misleading us. But if there's someone in the email string in the trust, I can check if we're doing the right thing. I'll get those emails. I don't have a problem with that. Okay, I like it. That's great. Awesome. Thank you for being ready for that. No problem at all. Okay. Anything else?

Okay. We have to vote.

Okay. Do we have to vote for that? Yes. Yes. And okay. So, we are voting to approve this invoice of Harrington Heap. Okay. Sarah.

Brian. Yes.

Megan. Yes.

Dan. Yes.

Colleen. Yes. Nicole. Yes. Collam. Okay. Pramayam passed. Next, let's check the meeting minutes. Um.

June 4th, 2026, July 9th, like the meeting minutes I announced, I'm announcing Pramayam. I'm voting.

Okay. Pramayam has announced and voted. Is there a discussion? I don't think so. Okay. Let's roll call vote. Sarah is there.

Brian is there. Megan is there. Dan is there.
