Subject: HVAC Meeting
It has taken me a while to digest the comments made at our meeting today. In essence, we are being told to advise the
residents that a health risk has existed for 15 months through an unreaistic HVAC assessment and clean-up process. How
can we even entertain being so irresponsible when existing data suggests just the opposite. The last thing we should
want to do is through the responsibility back to the owners and residents. We need to make immediate decisions to moe
the program to conclusion. Many of the comments we heard today were easy cover your behind easy way out
suggestions. We need to be the decision makers able to fulfil our roles as responsible public servants. I know you are at
West Point tomorrow, but the time has come for us to collectvely look this thing in the eye and move. Let's discuss
ASAP.
