R:Board Meeting Minutes 2019
8. Mr. McMunn reviewed the narrative for HAWC and Francis Murphy financials for the month and
fiscal year ended May 31, 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. HAWC has requested a density study
on the adjacent lot to Tanglewood Court apartments. This study will take two weeks to
complete. We did perform a housing study and Washington County is in need of more
affordable housing.
10. Work in progress: We are also going to streamlining for persons on a fixed income which will
reduce the workload. Streamlining allows PHAs to conduct full income re -certifications for
families with 90% or more of their income from fixed income every two years instead of
annually. Also, our most recent PIC score was 101.1.
11. The meeting adjourned at approximately 1:14 pm.
12. Next meeting will be at 12:00 noon on August 15, 2019. There will be no meeting in July.
13. Executive Session - There is still the matter of my review. I have not received a formal review as
of yet.
