<br />state and gave stats on vacancies etc. Survey includes demographic information on smoking. <br />Sheri believes smoking is banned at Lydia Morgan. Staffwill confirm and bring that <br />information back to the next meeting. Smoking can be an issue with unit turns. Turning a unit <br />costs roughly $1,000-$1,500 more when unit was smoked in.

In lieu of smoking inside of units, the <br />Authority can setup designated smoking areas. Decision on smoking ban would be entirely up to <br />the board. <br /> <br />In addition, the Housing Authority has recently partnered with Workforce Boulder County on the <br />Laurels apartment renovation project in Broomfield. This successful job training program <br />promoted low-income youth into a trade skills program learning electrical, plumbing, carpentry <br />skills. 4 of the 5 individuals received jobs in the construction trades and 1 returned to college. <br />As a result of this partnership, the Housing Authority will be hiring 3 additional youth interns <br />between the age of 18-21 into Maintenance department. The Housing Authority will be <br />receiving funding for the interns, so the cost for the additional labor will not be the 2008 budget. <br />The youth will work for us for 6 months and be trained in maintenance skills and the above <br />disciplines. Staff has also submitted another grant for 6 additional interns on a I-year cycle. <br /> <br />Property Mana1!:ement/Maintenance Report <br />a) Rent and Occupancy Update and Monthly Rental Vacancy Report <br />Currently 1 vacancy at Sunnyside and it will be filled on Tuesday 12.02.2007.
