| 0 | 5. | Communication | Report from the President
Minutes note: President Pérez noted the old adage that adversity doesn’t develop character, it reveals it, and said that it was evident in Travaux’s progress forward in these times. He is pleased with the work he is seeing in the offices and out in the field and that the worksites have been kept in good shape.
President Pérez asked Warren Jones, Travaux’s Vice President of Construction, to provide an update on current projects. Mr. Jones noted that Travaux received the first permits for Westlawn Renaissance VI’s 138 units of townhomes and that the first foundation was poured today.
President Pérez had Fernando Aniban, HACM’s Chief Financial Officer, speak about recently engaging Baker Tilly for a review of Travaux’s financial processes, as Travaux continues its development. The Director’s comments are also being incorporated. In addition, HACM is currently working with the Bronner Group to develop a Business Continuity & Comprehensive Disaster Plan that will touch on Travaux’s operations. Mr. Aniban continued that HACM recently closed two tax credit deals: in March, Westlawn Renaissance VI closed and Becher Court closed on June 30th. Westlawn Renaissance IV is expected to close in October. President Pérez suggested sharing the proposal the Bronner Group provided regarding the Business Continuity Plan to the Directors.
President Pérez thanked the Directors for taking their time during the pandemic for the Board Meetings, and for the depth and breadth of experience that they bring.
Director Wagner suggested that a list of the projects that are closed, underway, upcoming, or under consideration be provided to the Board.
