His research indicates that any such changes will probably not take place until 2012. The Trustees advised Administrator

be replaced with signs that conform to the new standards in an effort to not have to replace all at the same time.

4. Memo on the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) and the meeting at Morley Library on October 22, 2009.
