Mr. Hammerschmidt apprised that after ixty (60) days, options can be taken and the staff can start ac- uiring the properties. President Wiggins stated this will depend. n both the market and the availability of funds. Some options can e taken, but until we get a large volume of money, we cannot buy he property.

He stated :he State Board of Accounts has thrown out four programs, as not be- ing qualified, or permitted plans, under the state law and under the lttorney General's interpretation of the law. The State Board of Ac- :ounts is via the state plan.. Park Department and Housing Author- ity's pension plans are not under, the state plan. 'HUD add NAHRO have ;uidelines for programs they permit.
