been previously mailed to all members, and are attached and made a part of these

The Chairman thereupon declared said motion carried and said vote in effect.
Mrs. Pierce reported that as of April 30, 1982, the balance in the Bay-
Bank checking account for 667 -C was $804.33. As of the date of this meeting,
with all the above checks deducted, a deficit balance of $1,413.88 showed in
this account. The balance in the M.X.D.T', savings account was $14,654.91. All
rents for the month of May had been collected, in the amount of $7,985.00.

Report as read.
The Chairman thereupon declared said motion carried and said vote in effect,
a check was drawn for signatures on the M.M.D.T. account.
The subject of the Modernisation Funded Projects was: again a topic o
discussion. Pursuant to last month's meeting, Mrs. Pierce again contacted th
Alarm Specialists who had come to quote on the job of installing new smoke
detectors. As expected, both had declined to bid stating that the current
equipment which is manufactured by Simplex, would not be compatible with their
type of detectors and their installation. In the meantime, Simplex had updat,
their original bid of $4,337 which is now a year old, to an increased price of
$5.069.76 for this job.
if
On the hook -up of the smoke detectors to the Emergency Call System, Mrs.
Pierce said she did obtain another price from a third electrician which was uch
lower than the other two. Mr. Westra said it was possible that this electri ian
is not considering all that has to be done, and that a definite outline of tie
work to be performed should be put together and submitted to each of the three
bidders to be sure that they are all bidding on the same thing. He said he
would be glad to help on this. Mrs. Pierce said she was anxious to get this
completed once and for all, and would call Mr. Westra to make such arrangements,
if necessary.
At this point in the meeting, Mr. White arrived, making a full Board
present.
Next, Mrs. Pierce read a Memo from E.O.C.D. Re: Changes in The B et
Review Process Resulting from Implementation of the Management Incentive Pr am ".
Attached to that Memo was a "Management Checklist ", which had to.be complet
and returned by May 17th for their review. Based on an analysis of each Au or-
ity's spending performance and completed Management Checklist, E.O.C.D. wou d
determine the level of the overall cap on non - utility spending, and they pro ised
to return their findings by May 28th.
In line with this, they extended the deadline for July Budgets to June 15th.
The Board spent time with Mrs. Pierce to review the Management Checklist
concerning the Threshold Standards and Management Measures used by the Read g
Housing Authority.
Upon a motion made by Mr. White and seconded by Mr. Westra, it was un-
animously:
VOTED: To certify the information provided in the Checklist as true and
accurate, under penalties of perjury.
The Chairman thereupon declared said motion carried and said vote in effect, and
Mrs. Pierce was asked to complete the forms and forward it to E.O.C.D. by th
date requested.
There being no further business to come before the meeting, and upon a
motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to adjourn the meeting,
and the meeting was declared adjourned by Mr. Dempster at 9:00 P.M.
