Tom Pochman, Nantucket Human Service Center informed the committee that he and Rev. Snell met with Mr. Kopko and Mrs. Roggeveen about the lease for the property. For further information he spoke briefly of the project and how it will take place in two phases. In giving an example, Mr. Pochman stated that the first phase would be housing-Admin. building and the second phase the heritage center, etc. but as of now they are waiting for the town lawyers to review the lease so they can move forward. Mr. Kopko said that they expect to have town counsel’s response at the BOS meeting on Wednesday (July 21, 2010). Mr. Brannigan wanted to know if Mr. Pochman was aware of the meeting and Mr. Pochman stated that he was not. Mr. Kopko informed the committee that he was surprised and shocked that Mr. Pochman was not notified that the lease was on the BOS agenda for the July 21st meeting and he informed the committee that he would look into it. Mr. Brannigan said that Mr. Pochman should at least know if there are issues and concerns that Town Council may have about the lease prior to going into the meeting.

Susan Witte and Andrew Vorce, Affordable Housing Trust. Ms. Witte informed the committee that she and Mr. Beaugrand met two weeks ago to discuss the grant agreement request made at the last meeting. Mr. Beaugrand said that he felt they came to an agreement where the Affordable Trust Fund and the CPC can move forward satisfying both of their mandated processes. Ms Witte stated that at the last meeting of the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Committee she was unable to get the projects needed to be presented at this meeting (July 20, 2010) because of a lack of a quorum and she apologizes for not having it at this time, and it is believed that she will present it at the next CPC meeting or the meeting following the Public Forum (September 21, 2010). Mr. Kopko informed the committee that the Affordable Housing Trust met with an attorney who is “knowledgeable” on CPC and Affordable Housing Trust in other communities and he would like Nantucket CPC to have her come (after the Public Forum) to make a presentation about how the Affordable Housing Trust and CPC work in other communities. Mr. Richen was charged with getting letters/ statements from CPC representatives in other communities to see how these two entities are moving forward satisfying both of their mandated processes.
