Business Agenda
1. Report of Midas Property Management
Mr. Padernacht reviewed the report with the Housing Authority. He will have a draft
budget for the next meeting. The two line items that will increase are water and utility,
there is an uptake on the repair and maintenance line items. The increase is due to
the in-house work completed by Brandon. Expenditures are in a good place. Income
is lower than budgeted due to vacancies. Currently there are 6 vacancies, multiple
applications have been submitted and a few have been approved. Mr. Padernacht
reviewed the application process. Applications are now coming in on a regular basis
after Mr. Altieri worked with Catherine Parker and Westchester County to market the
apartments. Some applicants have been placed on a waiting list because they would
like to wait for a specific type of apartment. Ms. Deshpande and Mr. Altieri discussed
the vacancy contingency.
The Housing Authority and Mr. Altieri reviewed why residents are not allowed to sleep
in the loft of their unit. The Building Code of New York does not allow people to sleep
in lofts because of an issue with egress. Ms. Deshpande and Mr. Padernacht
discussed the landscaping project at the Hommocks. Chair Mileto and Mr. Thaul
discussed how the project has been phased in.Chair Mileto and Mr. Altieri discussed
the importance of staying affordable and checking on incomes. Mr. Thaul and Mr.
Padernacht discussed the operating costs of the complex.

This item was discussed above.
3. Update on Energy Study
Mr. Altieri reviewed the study with the Housing Authority. Another study was
completed about three years ago for the Housing Authority that dealt with heating and
cooling. The difference in the studies is that the past report is generalized unlike the
current study.
Mr. Altieri is working with Bright Power and NYSERDA to shorten the scope of work
for the current energy study. Bright Power is reviewing the past study to see what the
effects would be on the tenants if the units would have their boiler replaced with a
heat pump. Chair Mileto reviewed the history of the past energy efficiency study.
NYSERDA needs the current study to be different from the past study for the money
to be awarded to the Housing Authority. Mr. Altieri is having Bright Power work on
getting the reviewed completed. Mr. Thaul and Mr. Altieri reviewed the timeline of the
project and scope.
4. Other Business
Mr. Altieri reviewed how tenants port their applications from other comminutes.
5. Request for Executive Session
