She will be requesting a management system to manage rents and HUD reports at a later date.
There are currently six vacancies and she is anticipating more, but they did have good response to
the ad in the newsletter. Hanus questioned why there are so many vacancies and doesn't recall that
many in past years. Pausche stated there were three deaths in December and Westport Properties
did not have a waiting list in place to fill vacancies. Shelly Quass started as the in-house manager on
February 1St, working at Indian Knoll Manor in the mornings and back at the Police Department in the
afternoons. New leases are being signed that will make tenants accountable.
Hanus stated that at last month's HRA meeting some commissioners questioned if we should even be
in this business. He doesn't think we should be and would like this item put on the HRA agenda next
month.
