The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Mr. Dempster. Those members
also present were Mr. Westra, and Mrs. Swain, forming a quorum. Mrs. Pierce, the
Executive Director, was also present.
A motion was made by Mrs. Swain and seconded by Mr. Westra, and unanimously:

The Chairman thereupon declared said motion carried and said vote in effect.

unanimously:
VOTED: To approve and pay checks and bills for 667-C in the amount of
$11,907.'41—,and to ratify the signing of checks for the Section 8 Program in the
amount of $1,678.04 and for the 689 Program in the amount of $32.13.
The Chairman thereupon declared said motion carried and said vote in effect.
Mrs. Fierce next reported on the financial status of the Authority. She said
that the balance in the BayBank Middlesex Checking Account for 667-0 as of September
30, 1983 was $2,793.59• As of the date of this meeting, there showed a deficit
balance of $2,040.17 with the payment of the above bills due at this time. The
M.M.D.T. savings account had a balance of $24,509.90, and all the rents for the
month of October had been paid, totalling $8,663.00.
Upon a motion made by Mrs. Swain and seconded by Mr. Westra, it was unanimously:
VOTED: To withdraw $2,500 from the M.M.D.T. to deposit into the checking
account, and to approve the Financial Report as read.
The Chairman thereupon declared said motion carried and said vote in effect, and a
check was drawn and signed.
A letter from HUD was read to the Board in which they were notified of an
award of 15 new units to the existing Section 8 Program, with an Annual Contribu-
tions Contract of $69,324. The number of units were broken down as follows:
5 - one bedroom 7 - two bedroom 3 - three bedroom
It was noted that although the above funding has been reserved, certain
forms had to be executed and approvals received, and Mrs. Pierce informed the mem-
bers that Patricia Renzello was in the process of getting all this information together.
It was suggested that Mrs. Pierce put this information into a news item to
be published in the Reading Chronicle, to inform possible new applicants for the
Program. Mrs. Pierce said she would also inform the Council on Aging, as the one -
bedroom units will be available for the elderly.

Mrs. Pierce explained that the Architectfrom Stephen Bell Company under contract
with the Authority for the office expansion project, would not be able to attend the meet-
ing as planned due to the Holiday schedule, but he would like to present his preliminary
sketches as soon as possible.
Also, information had been received from E.O.C.D. concerning proposals due by
November 1st for funding under the State's Chapter 707 Program for scattered site
units, or moderate rehabilitation. A follow -up letter had been sent announcing
a meeting to be held on October 14th in Peabody to assist Authorities in the applica-
tion process.
Mrs. Pierce suggested that a Special Meeting be held the following week, when
hopefully a full Board could be in attendance, and she would request the Architect to
come, and there could be discussion concerning the 707 Program. A date of Monday,
October 17th, was agreed upon by those present, pending notification to the absent
Board members.
Under "Old Business ", Mr. Westra asked again about the progress with the smoke
detector problem. Mrs. Pierce said she had written the strong letter for action on
the part of the Simplex Company, but had not heard anything further. It was agreed
that a check for the maintenance Contract which was signed last month, continue to be
held until the Authority hears something from Simplex, and that another letter advising
them of this fact be sent.
There being no further business to come before the meeting, and upon a motion
duly made and seconded, it was voted unanimously to adjourn the meeting. The Chairman
therefore, adjourned the meeting at 8:45 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
f''Jane't Pierce, Executive Director
and Secretary
