HomeMy WebLinkAboutMHC 01/16/2019A meeting of the Board of Directors was held on Wednesday 1/16/2019, Present were
Vice -chair Randy Waters, Treasurer, Connie Baynes; Secretary, Lou Amoruso and member,
Sean Grammel. Absent were Chairperson, Marilyn Lewis and member Jeffrey Wagner. The
meeting was held in the MBC meeting room at Town Hall and called to order by Randy at 6:35
PM.
Minutes were read for the Dec. 2018 meeting and moved for approval by Lou, seconded by
Sean, and passed unanimously with corrections.
The Treasurer's report was provided by Connie who reported on the balance for bills that were
paid to Aggregate Industries and Capone Bothers that had not been as well identified
previously by the Town. MHC split the additional expenses with the Highway Dept. for work
done on the sewer extension for Columbine. Our costs were for a total of $6,713.13 with
$2,623.13 going to Aggregate industries and $4,040.00 going to Capone Bros. The discussion
was whether those amounts took us over the $50,000.00 we had voted for the project.
Lou moved and Randy seconded approval of the report as presented (passed unanimously, 4-0).
Randy discussed the proposed arrangement with Mark O'Hagan to do work evaluating Town
land regarding its suitability for use in developing affordable housing. The contract calls for
evaluation of 50 parcels at $100.00 each for a total of $5,000.00. He reported that it would
likely take 4-6 weeks for Mr. O'Hagan to perform the work.
Randy moved and Lou seconded that Marilyn be authorized to sign a contract with MCO
Housing (Mark O'Hagan's company). This motion passed unanimously. Next, Lou moved and
Connie seconded that $1,500.00 be approved to be sent to MCO Housing as a deposit on the
work to be done by Mr. O'Hagan. This motion also passed unanimously.
Connie indicated that we need to renew the Officers' and Directors' insurance. Lou moved and
Connie seconded a motion to approve payment in an amount not to exceed $1,000.00. This
motion passed unanimously without further discussion.
NEW BUSINESS
Discussion next ensued regarding our report for the Town Report. Lou provided a draft which
was accepted with a couple of suggestions that he agreed to insert. In particular, Connie
wanted to include information that MHC is working with a consultant to look for additional sites
that could be developed for affordable housing. This report is due by Jan 31 for Town Hail. Lou
agreed to provide them with both a printed and a thumb drive version of the report for their
convenience.
Connie reported that she had invited Judi Barrett of The Barrett Group to speak with us, but
Ms. Barrett is unable to meet with us until the March meeting,
Randy indicated that the next meeting would be our regularly scheduled meeting for March
and reorganization would be one of the agenda items.
Lou moved adjournment. Passed unanimously at 7:11 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Lou Amoruso
