The MPIA request has been a voluminous, time consuming process. We have until March 29 to have all the documents ready. 8. Resolution 2019-04 – PHA 5-year and Annual Plan will be filed with HUD. We will go to stream lining this year for those participants on a fixed income. Motion made by Mr. Pool with a second by Mr. Brezler to approve the resolution. Motion passed. 9. Mr. McMunn reviewed the narrative for HAWC and Francis Murphy financials for the month and fiscal year ended February 28, 2019. Net revenue unfavorable variances in February was due to overpayment by HUD of Section 8 funding and we were overpaid by Hagerstown Housing for port-ins. Expenditures for the month driven by unfavorable variances in the area of legal fees and snow removal. Year to date we are still favorable. At Francis Murphy we were pretty much right on budget for revenue and the bottom line. Expenditures were over budget due to snow removal. The Francis Murphy audit has been completed. Any refinancing of the Frances Murphy mortgage loan will require legal action so any savings would be lost in legal fees. We don’t expect to hear from Interfaith Housing on the sale of Francis Murphy until June 2019. Motion made by Mr. Beard and seconded by Mr. Badaki to accept the financial report as presented. Motion passed. 10. Ms. Guglielmini talked about the Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) program. We had a graduate in January and two households signed on in February. FSS is a 5-year program geared toward becoming self sufficient. The wait list is still manageable at this point and closing it is not an issue at this time. Maintenance is working on the office security. We provide reasonable accommodations to our seniors (i.e., grab bars,5 foot rule, etc.). We had someone come in under the witness relocation program looking for housing. The MAHRA conference has changed to the MGM National Harbor and will be May 29 – 31, 2019 11. The meeting adjourned at approximately 12:45 pm. 12. Next meeting will be at 12:00 noon on April 18, 2019.
