Wanda – Bubba is aware of changes and will make them, re. John’s request. Changes will be made by 4- 25-19. Clarification from John – Intent is property owner is ultimately the one who is accountable for what goes on at the property and making sure that any necessary mitigation happens. Ex. p. 6, 22-38 #2 needs to read that the property owner may delegate responsibility to a property manager or occupant or some other party to represent them in these matters. Currently reads like property manager can agree to a property mitigation proposal without the owner’s approval. Somewhere it needs to be stated that the owner is ultimate party responsible, who may delegate powers to anybody they choose to represent them. Julie Livingston agrees. And all parties are to be notified. Wanda will pass clarifications on to Bubba. Amy Gaster spoke in opposition to the cancelations being attached to the property and carrying forward to new owners.
