8. Financial Report – Net revenue for the month was over budgeted levels. YTD net revenue is
over budget driven by a favorable variance in the HCV Fund. Labor and Benefit expenditures for
the month were under budget. The most significant favorable expense variance this month was
due to low snow removal services at our locations, except Monterey. Total expenditures in
December were favorable to budget while YTD costs are also favorable to budget. At the
halfway point of the fiscal year, HAWC has a good chance of achieving our budget goals. In spite
of the head winds, we face not being eligible for the energy grants that were budgeted this year.
December completes FY2019 for Francis Murphy. Revenue was consistent throughout the year
with the only significant variance being the phone system which we budgeted to end in
February. Total revenue for the year was over budget. Total expenditures were favorable to
budget including maintenance materials/subcontract, labor and property taxes. The favorable
variances in both revenue and expense yielded a net income loss for FY2019. The preparation
for the internal audit of the Francis Murphy financial statements begin this month. We
anticipate no significant changes to the internal statements. Positive cash flow from operations
was transferred to reserves for major repairs based on an external Capital Needs Assessment to
stay in compliance with DHCD. Motion made to approve the financial report by Mr. Beard and it
was seconded by Mr. Brezler. Motion passed.
9. Executive Director Report – We have been informed that we will be receiving a grant from HUD
for the FSS program in the amount of $72,000. We also received 15 Mainstream vouchers which
will be supported through partner service agencies assisting the disabled, homeless and foster
children. We are still working on beefing up the Tanglewood security with cameras, fencing and
lights.
