A RAB member repeated a recommendation made during meetings on the development of the agency plan. The suggestion involved the issuance of photo IDs at senior developments as a means to limit admittance and incidents of crime. The Authority has already undertaken the implementation of a photo identification program at senior developments. One RAB member asked whether all developments receive the same level of capital improvements. The delegate stated that the quality of capital improvements appears to vary at different developments.
Different developments have different needs and priorities.
Interior work, such as boiler replacements, elevator installations, etc. may not be as readily apparent. The sums provided by the State for the units that they finance are far below that level. With insufficient funding, the Authority must prioritize the work that it is able to undertake. Thus, not every need is addressed at the same time. That allocation is nearly exhausted.
