Report from Community Coordinator
1. Kathryn distributed a handout describing what has been done and what has yet to be done regarding the affordability resale formula. The formula has been agreed upon by MHA, TCH, and the City of Boulder and is now being clarified more specifically. It included long-term goals, guidelines, and data tracking.
2. Appraisers will be sought to test out ideas and begin developing a baseline value for the resale formula.
3. An appraisal appeals process is being developed.

Site Committee
1. A pre-application (proposed site plan) was submitted to the City of Boulder by TCH and the contractors. The response from the City of Boulder stated that if the HRD (High Residential Density) zoning designation that the MMHP currently has is kept then we are not considered a sub-division and we will need to do a concept plan review and possibly a site plan to ensure that we meet the requirements of the sub-division. If we change our zoning to MH-E (mobile home existing) these steps will not need to be taken. The City of Boulder is applying for the zoning designation to be changed to MH-E.
2. All home plumbing being attached to from the street must be water tight and self-draining in order to meet code. How these costs are to be paid and who is responsible for the costs is yet to be decided.
3. Approval is needed by the Fire Department regarding the dead end drive (#14-20)
4. MHA/TCH are responsible financially for any damages done to the existing infrastructure while attaching new infrastructure. Drexel-Barrell is investigating the existing infrastructure to determine the condition of the lines and costing information.
5. Water lines on both sides of the park must be connected and Master Metered.
6. The City is requiring that any new lights installed meet the new light pollution codes.

TCH
1. A meeting Friday with contractor Johnny Hale will look at where the new transformers should be located, how to do individual metering at each home, and the location of the meters at each home along with the costs of each of these factors.
2. TCH, Jeff Yegian, and the city attorney Jim Martin have been meeting to complete a contract on Mapleton. There are two areas in the contract that are requiring attention right now. One is the amount of purchaser remedy, which means that there would be some recourse for the purchaser if the seller (the City of Boulder) doesn’t perform certain things in the contract. The other area that needs attention is that the TCH board needs a signed contract with closing in September or additional funds to extend the closing date. The actual closing will probably extend past the expected September closing date.

The committee recognized Paul Keaton and TCH for their great efforts in assisting the MHA in reaching their goals.
