Business Agenda
1. Report of Midas Property Management
Mr. Padernacht reviewed the monthly report with the Housing Authority. Everything
was on target, except the rent income, due to vacancies. More applications are being
submitted and two are being reviewed. Mr. Padernacht felt he and Mr. Altieri have a
good grip on the expenditures.
Mr. Padernacht said that he is not recommending anyone have legal proceeding
brought against them. He and Mr. Altieri reached out to WJWW about the uptick in
usage. Mr. Padernacht said the rates were increased, which caused an increase on
the line item. He also described the different rates of the utilities. The Housing
Authority and Mr. Padernacht discussed possible rate adjustments for affordable
housing complexes.
2. Update on 2025 Income Recertification Process
Mr. Altieri addressed the Housing Authority. After the death of Rose Noonan, Housing
Action Council had to reorganize themselves and needed to get into Rose's files. The

files were accessed and the recertification process will proceed, with a slight delay. A
new representative was assigned to the Housing Authority. One tenant is going to
move out in June. Mr. Altieri and Mr. Padernacht have confidence in the team they
met with at Housing Action Council, they are two - three weeks behind but are on
track to have the recertifications complete. Mr. Di Bari said he hasn't met with their
council yet, but one matter has been referred to them.
3. Update on Bright Power Energy Study
Mr. Altieri updated the Housing Authority on the Bright Power Energy study. He and
Mr. Padernacht started to gather the utility data together for the project. WJWW
prepared a spreadsheet on water usage at the complex. Bright Power is going to
begin the study soon and information has been submitted to the State for the grant.
4. Request for Executive Session
Moved by Board Member Philbrick-Wheaton, seconded by Board Member

5. Misc. Discussions
The Housing Authority discussed installing signs that the Housing Authority has
available units, which they ultimately decided not to do. Mr. Altieri said that they have
a steady flow of applicants, but some have been turned away, if they do not meet
certain requirements.
Ms. Kaplan Macey suggested putting up a vacancy notice on the Housing Authority
webpage with photos. Mr. Altieri and Ms. Delohery agreed to work on putting
something together for the webpage. Mr. Altieri and Ms. Deshpande reviewed the
application submittal process.
The Housing Authority agreed to meet on July 14th instead of July 7th and not to
meet in August.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:40pm.
