MOTION by Mr. Maine, seconded by Ms. McCreery

- BURNSIDE AVENUE REDEVELOPMENT
- 482-484 Burnside – Progress Report
- Construction is still being performed on the 2nd floor to prepare for a cardiologist.
- The developer has discussed purchasing the two properties to the west of this site
- 550 Burnside Avenue – Discussion of Draft RFP
- Ms. Webb continued to suggest holding off on releasing this RFP, giving time for developers to gain interest.
- 590 Burnside Avenue – Progress Report
- The Council voted to turn this site over to the Agency for the purpose of entering into a relationship with Sheldon Oak Central, Inc
- Ms. Webb will work with the developer on getting this project before the Planning & Zoning Commission as soon as possible.
- The Agency questioned Emily Wolfe from Sheldon Oak Central as to when HUD funds would be released. Emily explained that in the past that the 202 funds were released in the spring. Since we have a new HUD Secretary and he is staffing up and deciding what to do with stimulis funds, the NOFA may be delayed. Ms. Webb will follow up with this and contact John Rossi in Congressman Larson’s office.
MOTION by Ms. McCreery, seconded by Mr. Maine to grant Sheldon Oak Central, Inc. and New Samaritan, Inc. an extension of time to either February 1, 2010 or when the HUD application is approved, whichever is the earlier of the two.
