A task order was submitted to Quadel to do a RFP to hire a contractor. Ms. Sawin spoke with Quadel on December 15, 2006 and they have advised that a non-profit developer would have to be utilized as the job is not big enough for a regular developer to handle. A letter is being sent to Mr. Grisham of the Seven Hills Board that the Housing Authority is still interested in the grant. Ms. Sawin stated that the deadline to apply for ADFA is in February 2007 and there is not enough time to get anything submitted for this year, so application could be made to submit for next year's grants. Ms. Sawin will submit prior information concerning this item to Mr. Royal due to his absence from the last couple of board meetings. B.
