              The Minutes of August 2, 2006 were amended and approved.

               The Board asked that a letter be sent to Josh Scott thanking him for his
                dedicated service to the Board.

               It was voted and approved to pay the Dukes County Housing Authority   
                $2,345.75  for the RCP.

               O’Gorman proposal - Tim Carroll presented a proposal from the O’Gorman
                 family in regard to the possibility of providing the town with a homesite lot.
                The family needs to have the engineering done before the town can make any
                 decision.  Tim will send a letter of interest to the family, to be followed by a
                letter from the Housing Committee thanking them for their interest.  Tim
                was asked to invite Sandy O’Gorman to meet with the Board as a whole or
                members of the Board as soon as possible.

               New Board Members - there was discussion about finding new board members
                and Alternates.  Steve, Andy and Zee agreed to call several people who might
               be interested in joining the committee.  It was agreed that these people should
               approach the Selectmen if they are interested.

               Changing meeting day – Jim Feiner has a conflict on Wednesdays, so
                the Board proposed changing the day to the first and third Monday at
               4:30.  Lisa will ask Tim Lasker and Jim Feiner if Monday is a good day
               for them.

               Warrant Article - The warrant article for the special town meeting was
                discussed.  Article 1 relates to the Middle Line Road Project.  It was agreed
                to advise the town on the project and offer the Committee’s support.

               Guidelines – The Guidelines were read and the changes to them were
                discussed in detail.  Questions were asked and discussed.  Zee and Andy
                 hope to be able to meet with David Vigneault of the Housing Authority to
                 the latest version of the Guidelines.

                The meeting was adjourned at 6:15
                   
                 Respectfully submitted by:  Lisa Specht,  Administrative Assistant
