Old Business

Campbell said he will meet with Mr. Berto and First Selectwoman Mailhos and then they will all meet with Mr. Wagner about the EDI grant including procurement, what has been done and what needs to be done. R. Campbell said that the Housing Authority must follow all EDI requirements, so they must look into how the engineer and consultant for the project were originally hired. R. Campbell said he will get EDI guidelines from Mr. Wagner. R. Campbell said he will also look into whether the meeting minutes can serve as documentation of the procurement process. R. Campbell reminded the board that
