6. The fiscal year 2020 budget was presented by Mr. McMunn. His budget narrative discussed the
expected revenue, operating expenses, net income, capital expenditures and cash flow. For
comparison, totals have been included for FY 2019 budget, FY 2019 projection and FY’s 2017
and 2018 actual. The budget was passed with a motion by Mr. Pool and seconded by Mr. Beard.
7. The DHCD Management Agreement was presented to the Board, signed, and with a motion by
Mr. Pool and seconded by Ms. Walls. Motion passed.
8. Mr. McMunn reviewed the narrative for HAWC and Francis Murphy financials for the month and
fiscal year ended April 30, 2019. Net revenue for April included grant revenue for the
Williamsport locations. Other tenant revenue included a credit for labor billed for damages of
$7.9k. This credit was offset by an YTD reduction in bad debt expense for the same amount.
Legal expenses were over budget for the month and YTD. Payroll costs include the vacation buy
out of one employee who separated employment with HAWC at the end of March.
Maintenance costs returned to budgeted level in April. A previously disposed pickup truck was
written off. At Francis Murphy revenue remains slightly favorable to budget in April due to
providing phone service for the tenants at FM and billed as other tenant revenue. Material,
subcontract and safety expenditures were again favorable to budget this month. Motion made
by Mr. Beard and seconded by Mr. Badaki to accept the financial report as presented. Motion
passed.
9. In the area of development, several items were discussed. We have requested a density study
on the adjust lot to see what we can and cannot do on that lot. This study will take two weeks
to complete. We did do a housing study and to no one’s surprise Washington County is in need
of more affordable housing. We had an issue with a maintenance worker who was terminated.
There are two staff members who will be moving back to Delaware and we are hoping to absorb
their work; at lease try. That leaves us with 3 maintenance workers in the field. This would
leave us in good position if we should lose Francis Murphy. We are also going to streamlining
for persons on a fixed income which will reduce the workload. There is still the matter of my
review. I have not received a formal review as of yet.
10. The meeting adjourned at approximately 1:03 pm.
11. Next meeting will be at 12:00 noon on June 20, 2019.
