REPORTS OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
We are still at 100% capacity with the exception of Apt. 4 which we will be using as our offices during the Community Hall Renovation. We do have three residents absent from their apartments at this time, 2 are in nursing homes and 1 was taken to the hospital this afternoon. The waiting list is at approximately 15 applications (including couples); there have been 2 applications rejected recently one due to a history of drug abuse and one because of disorderly conduct.
We are looking to start relocating the offices next week and will not be taking all of the furniture in the office. I have looked into renting a pod for the duration of the renovations and a 16’ pod would cost approximately $180/month. If the commission agrees to the rental of this pod, it will be placed at the end of the building.
A motion was made by Commissioner LaMay, seconded by Commissioner Percoski to get a pod for storage.
LaMay/Percoski Unanimous

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A) Community Hall/Office Expansion - Awarding bid
The bids for the renovation of the Community Hall were opened
Approximately 10 days ago. Four (4) companies put in bids ranging from $403,987 to $577,680.
The lowest, most responsible bidder was Martindale & Salisbury at $403,987, and the second was General Builders at $419,000. Both companies have been checked out and neither one is on the no bid list for the State of Connecticut. I have personally inspected some of the sites where construction has been done by both of these companies and there have been no complaints.
Once the decision is made to award the bid, there will be a pre-construction meeting here sometime this week and hopefully construction will begin within in the next couple of weeks.
Notification has been received by the Building Department and the Fire Marshal that everything is in order and that we are good to go. The
Department of Health was called in regards to the classification of our well system. If we are a public system then there are permits that will have to be taken care, if we are private everything should be ok.
A motion was made by Commissioner LaMay, seconded by Commissioner Mezzetti to award the contract for the Community Hall Renovation to Martindale and Salisbury at a cost of $403,987.
LaMay/Mezzetti Unanimous
