to order; also Mr. Dube, Mr. Stratton Mr. Dempster and Mr. Johnson, forming a
quorum. Mrs. Pierce, the Executive Director, was also present.
The revised Section 8 Contract between the Housing Authority and D.S.I

tend the last-regular meeting, was filled in by the other members on the additions
and deletions to Mr. White's proposed Contract, and Mr. Scott's reasons for these
changes.

tract back to Mr. Scott with the following comments:
1. That the „Hold Harmless Clause" which Mr. Scott had added to his.';
Contract be revised to read that "both parties agree to hold.the"
other harmless from suits, claims, etc. ", continuing along in the
name vein.
2. Also, that the payment period be adjusted to begin on July lst
through June 3Qth, the regular fiscal year of the Housing
Authority.

that all payments to the Contractor be made "provided the Authority
has funds available" and also that the Contract be valid only afte

It was the hope of the Authority that all these minor problems could be
