resolved. Two tenants have fallen due to ice in the parking lot. According to the residents, Sally told residents "they could move if they didn't like it." . The letter that was sent out by Sally stated that tenants cannot park there, but can still leave their cars there to load and unload. This was due to buses, including Special Transit, expressing to BCHA staff that they could not get through the area. Steve responded that it could just be miscommunication. Imadail suggested Steve or BCHA staff contact Mary Jane Johnson for her input. She suggests a sign should be placed in that area and look at designating spaces for 5 minute parking. A resident council meeting was also suggested. Don will check into the ice issues on in the parking lot and continue to gravel the lot. The communication with maintenance and Sally has been an issue. Tenant phone calls are rarely returned. Don explained that if a work order is called in then tenants won't get a returned call as that is protocol. Imadail stated she called the emergency line on Saturday and didn't get a call back nor did anyone come out. Emergency work orders called in will get a return call by the on call staff person. Don will follow up on this. When units are available they do not get a phone call response by a property manager. LHA can look at refinancing in Lydia Morgan complex in 2013. This could allow for architectural changes. Don notified LHA about the leak issue at Lydia Morgan. They believe it is fixed, but are not repairing the wall until they confirm it.
