Whitman Housing Authority - June 8, 2026 meeting

The Whitman Housing Authority held a meeting on June 8, 2026, where board reorganization was approved, and financial reports for May and April 2026 were accepted. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a $14,154 change order for electrical work involving knob and tube wiring replacement at Fulton Avenue, which doubled the original bid due to unforeseen drywall repairs. The board also approved motions to write off uncollectible rents totaling approximately $19,219 and granted authority for rent check signing to a designated staff member. Additionally, the Authority was selected for a solar panel installation project at Stetson Terrace under a state grant program, with ongoing project management and maintenance provided by Resonant Energy. The board discussed concerns about roof age, fire safety, insurance implications, and maintenance responsibilities related to the solar installation. Affirmative action goals and compliance with lead paint and affordable use regulations were also reviewed and approved. No new business or correspondence was reported.
