3. New business:
• November Housing Committee meeting will be moved to Nov. 13th due to Nov. 6th election day.
• Jeff Skrenes: discussed a possible Housing Committee project: Winterizing vacant homes. This would consist of ID’ing properties then assigning it to people to track down the asset manager of the mortgage company that owns these vacant homes to ensure the homes are properly winterized. This process can start in the Fall. Jeff mentioned talking to Jill K on getting vacant Jordan properties Jeff can take on some tasks of navigating the mortgage companies.
• Second idea by Jeff: developing a list of high quality private developers who JAC C can alert them to available vacant home for purchase and rehab.
