Site Committee Chair and Committee, including relationship to the Trailerwrap project:

History – the Site Cte was involved in infrastructure in the past – can be a role in future.

Action Item: Robert is designated to negotiate and sign contract.
Board Agreement: The sales money goes into MHA Credit Union account – buyer/agent makes check to MHA.
Distributions are made from this account.
We will request Agent Fee discount in exchange for giving Steve Money access to vacant lots for placing and marketing homes. No change to vacant lot terms.
He can sell within minimum to asking price (approximately 29600 – 35000). Minimum sited here is $24,500 + Sales Agent Fee +MHA insurance and utility expense reimbursement.
Instructions will be given for any lowering of minimum when that changes
Length of contract is to Nov 1 08
Qualifying buyer has to go through Hast. Buyer must know rules of the Park.
Steve Money gets a copy of lease and knows the rules of the park- Details that the Board agrees as our position in regard to Steve Money and 5 Star Realty having access to Vacant Lots –
we don’t pay broker fee and we give him grace period on rent
Grace period is defined as day lease is signed – lease needs to be signed. Also, he can have 1st Right of Refusal for period of time 1-2 mo.

Discussion on this issue included when to engage the attorney, how to build a supporting relationship with Thistle and Hast & Co for this process, and how having legal backup has helped in working out contracts in the past.
Very little discussion on the appeal by the defendant in an eviction case which Hast won representing MHA. Any ideas that Board members have that support the case are to be sent to Mr. Mucchio, the attorney for Hast who is representing MHA.
