19. HOUSING MANAGEMENT DIVISION
SYNCHRONIZATION MEETING
Sagamihara Family Housing
Move Synchronization Meeting
On 26 Sep, briefing provided at Town hall meeting at
Exchange Theater in SFHA to 35 affected Families
to explain impending moves from 400/600 block to
newly completed housing area.

20. HOUSING MANAGEMENT DIVISION
SYNCHRONIZATION MEETING
Feedback from Town Hall meeting Occupants
1.Positives
a.More than 95% Ph2B Occupants were in attendance
b.Occupants liked the idea of, having some housing location
options, and the possibility of residing near old neighbors again
c. Happy about; being allowed to move/replant flowers and
plants from their old to their new quarters, no pre-move inspection,
minimal cleaning required for final inspection
d. Most quarters will have new furniture provided before move in

21. HOUSING MANAGEMENT DIVISION
SYNCHRONIZATION MEETING
2. Negatives
a.Some occupants had internet service other than Allied Telesis,
they wish to maintain contract with existing internet provider (stating
faster service and lower price)
b.A question was asked about the number of days off from work
(moving days) that are authorized for this type of move. Response
from Civ Personnel did not give a specific amount of time, this appears
to have some supervisor discretion involved
c.Lack of adequate storage in new houses or other houses where
they may be residing

22. HOUSING MANAGEMENT DIVISION
SYNCHRONIZATION MEETING
NOTE:
MWR has begun the process of purchasing additional storage PODS.
19 sheds for SHA and 20 Sheds at CZ, it will take 6 months to complete
process.
Also, MWR is asking its customers to limit the number of storage sheds
that each one occupies, those with more than one shed rental will be
asked to vacate the additional sheds to make them available for equitable
distribution.
Additionally HMD is exploring avenues to acquire exterior storage sheds.
