Ms. Littrell shared that work continues on the financial audit. Review procedures have been changed to create an
audit trail utilizing Lindsey software approval as well as paper documentation. The Smoke-Free policy has been
implemented. The complaints received were from non-smokers who felt that only smokers should be required to
sign the document stating that they wouldn't smoke in their unit. Some thought the Smoke-Free policy should be
limited to the High Rise only. One note of thanks was sent in. The 2008 PHA Plan is available for review at the
