Discussion revolved around siding and window replacements costs, revision of document and hiring a consultant to get bids for the siding and window projects. Commissioner Willis asked if the siding needed to be replaced soon or if we could stretch the replacement timeline by using up the warranty. Approved Minutes Plymouth Housing and Redevelopment Authority August 13, 2015 Page 2 Housing Program Manager Barnes answered it may be prudent to replace the siding when the windows are being replaced for a better window installation. To reduce costs the windows in the brick portion of the building could be left saving the other windows for replacement parts. Commissioner Willis questioned the accuracy of the window replacement cost. Housing Program Manager Barnes stated the data is a few years old and could be updated. Commissioners Willis, Soderberg, and Chairman Kulaszewicz were in favor of hiring a contractor to obtain bids for the most expensive items. Document revisions would include current costs and median life expectancy of replacement items. The revisions would aid the commissioners in making an informed decision. HRA Executive Director Juetten stated staff would revise items that were over 1 year old. 4. ADJOURNMENT MOTION by Chairman Kulaszewicz, seconded by Commissioner Soderberg, to adjourn the meeting at 7:52 p.m. Motion approved unanimously.
