3. A motion to approve the November 2019 minutes was made by Mr. Pool and it was seconded by
Mr. Beard. Motion passed.
4. Discussion held regarding the Section 811 Mainsteam Program. HAWC has received an
additional 15 vouchers for this program. This program assists those individuals between the
ages of 18-62 with mental health and/or disabled. It’s especially geared towards foster children
coming out of the system. We have partnered with several agencies in the county who will
provide us with the clients for these special vouchers.
5. Resolution 2020-01 – The Holiday Schedule 2020 was presented. Motion made by Mr. Pool and
it was seconded by Mr. Beard. Motion passed.
6. Resolution 2020-02 – The Board Meeting Schedule 2020 was presented. Motion made by Mr.
Beard and it was seconded by Mr. Pool. Motion passed.
7. Discussion held regarding the election of Officers for 2020.
8. Financial Report – The FY2019 audit for HAWC has been completed and sent to DHCD. We are
finishing up the submission to REAC. Mr. McMunn reviewed the narrative for HAWC and the
Francis Murphy financials for the month of November 30, 2019. Net revenue for the month was
over budget mostly due to Monterey’s October rent increase being received in November. YTD
net revenue is over budget driven by the unbudgeted HCV revenue from FSS forfeitures and
fraud collections. Total expenditures were also favorable. Notable costs within the funds
include the sharp increase in trash removal services at our BME property in Smithsburg.
November net income is favorable to budget.
With one month left in FY2019 for Francis Murphy, November is slightly favorable to budget as
are total expenditures. Additional funding from the operating account has been wired to the
PNC account holding the reserve for major repairs, bringing the reserve to an acceptable
balance in line with the recommendations of the CNA done at Francis Murphy in 2013. We
expect the Francis Murphy audit to begin at the end of January, beginning of February. We also
asked for and received an increase in the management fee from Francis Murphy. Motion made
by Mr. Beard and it was seconded by Mr. Brezler. Motion passed.
9. Executive Director Report – HAWC’s most recent PIC report score was 100%. Congrats to
Section 8 for the fine work they are doing. Mark Flynn, our consultant for the Tanglewood
property, gave us his report on his investigations. The issues that need to be addressed sooner
rather than later include fencing, camera’s, and more lighting. We will also need to secure
internet and change out the locks and replace with fob’s. Since we’ve taken over the property
there have been 13 turnovers. Maintenance is dealing with a lot of vacancies right now. Motion
made by Mr. Beard and it was seconded by Mr. Brezler. Motion passed.
10. The meeting adjourned at approximately 1:02 pm.
11. Next meeting on Thursday, January 16, 2020 at 12:00 pm.
