Housing Authority The Middlefield Housing
Authority (MHA) learned at their Aug. 24 meeting that they most likely will not get a grant to begin preliminary work on Sugarloaf II. Secretary Alma Elder will make up a survey saying “we are considering expansion and these are suggestions.” If commissioners approve the survey, it will be mailed and analyzed. After the results are in, the commission can return to Arcari Architects. It was reported that Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) continues to ignore questions about interest, and the commission agreed it is time to go to politicians.

(HUD) has asked the commission to eliminate a requirement in the Tenant Selection Plan that residents need to be independent, e.g. able take out garbage, turn off appliances, etc. Jeff Sussman of HUD refused to put his verbal approval of the policies the commission submitted to him in writing, and at this point, another letter needs to be written. In a maintenance report, Electric Works put in a new wire from the new pump to the building. The town sanitarian approved the septic pumping, which was to be done shortly after by Sea Breeze Hauling. Maintenance supervisor Len Pinz plans to retire or semi-retire on Jan. 1, 2010. The commission will contract out snow removal for winter and lawn mowing for summer.

A HUD and Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO) complaint is in the process of being formally closed by HUD. There have been requests for reasonable accommodations and responses with applicable forms have been sent out. It was noted that employees, the executive director and commissioners all have free life insurance. Executive director Brenda Cowett is following up on possible lack of insurance for decisions that a volunteer board may make.

In new business, Fair Market Rents as published by HUD were reviewed, and Cowett will discuss with the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) the possibility of increasing rents based on this data. There was a secret ballot to determine placement of the
