Housing Board Tables Agenda, Approves Contract

Housing Authority · Meeting of September 29, 2026

HADLEY — The Hadley Housing Authority Board tabled nearly its entire agenda after a procedural clash and approved a $114,803 contract for a Berkway Unit renovation. Commissioner Pamela and the board's presiding chair disputed who controls the agenda and how often the board must meet, with Pamela declining to waive the 48-hour notice required for an executive session, saying "48 hours? My right?" The board assented to table every item except the renovation vote, awarding the contract to HOKO Remodeling Group Inc. with Commissioner Victoria seconding the motion.

Pamela also disputed the chair's reading of prior meeting minutes on meeting frequency, saying "That's not what the minutes reflect." The board rescheduled the remaining business for October 6 at 11 a.m. and voted unanimously to end the meeting.
