Dir. read the email she had sent on 12/20/10 to DHCD regarding the Lead Paint Legal Compliance, it was noted that to date no response has been received. The board agreed that asking them to certify compliance is out of their jurisdiction as board members as it would require them to be involved with the day to day operations. Tess stated she would be more willing to sign the compliance request after an audit was performed by DHCD to ensure correct process is being followed. Deadline for compliance is 3/31/11.
