Sally Ruthart: Are any of these current? Ms. Cherry: These are the most current. These were Bobby Yates's. Sally Ruthart: 413? Ms. Cherry: Yes, the mold, but I have some more current pictures I just wasn't able to bring them, which is probably a few months old. But this stuff uh no, I did take these pictures myself though. Ms. Hearn: Was this reported? Doesn't it have to be reported? Ms. Cherry: Well, here's the thing about it. You have inspections, even if a person didn't... people are not going to report that. Ms. Hearn: Why? Ms. Cherry: They think it's repaired. To me that's unacceptable. They are not gonna report that or that. But when you go in and inspect it, you see it, the inspector see it. So how does it pass inspection, you know. You can't put it all on the tenants. Which is what there is a tendency to do. I just think the Housing Authority needs to do better with that.

But what ended up happening we went to legal aide because nobody fixed it, and then he gets a letter of retaliation. I have a copy of the letter. It shouldn't be that way that it's totally the tenant's responsibility they don't report this and didn't get a receipt for it and then don't do anything that's not how it should work. But if you have situations and there have been situations in the past where there have been retaliation for reporting stuff, I know this for a fact. You have to feel comfortable that you are not gonna get evicted for reporting this stuff. Mr. Savage: So, this is just me, I know we talked a lot about the past, I guess my mindset is going forward now. I think we really need to try to go forward. You have brought out some great things. It's made us all think and I really believe that the board E
