Mike and Cheri for doing a good job. Mike reported on the Budget for December,
2010. He stated for the year 2010 CHA is about 12k under budget. Board members
noted that the cash flow is getting better from year to year. Estella moved to accept the
financial report as presented and Patricia seconded the motion. The report was accepted
unanimously.
4. Director's Report
Mike asked if there were any questions on the Director's Report. He reported on what
happened with the fire at the Housing Authority. Mike asked the board to be involved in
finalizing the Personnel Policy and Procedure manual as well as the lease agreement
revisions.
Mike explained that the lease agreement currently used, while having served CHA well,
is not in compliance with federal requirements. Therefore changes will need to be made
to bring it into compliance. He said RD is aware of it, and technically could remove
rental subsistence, but likely won't. Nevertheless the lease agreement will need to be
retooled. It was asked if Mike had run the proposal by Rural Development and Mike said
he had. He did not want to have the attorney research just one issue, but rather desires to
get the entire agreement finalized with the input of the board and then submit the entire
document to the attorney for legal review. Patricia asked if there was any issue with the
tenant security deposit and Mike indicated there is no issue with the deposit charged.
inquiry was made regarding the WinCo Bread. Mike explained that WinCo started
donating nearly expired 4x4 boxes full of bread. Farmway families use it and after that
others with needs are free to come and get the bread.
5. New Business
None
6. Old Business
There was no old business for discussion at this time but Mike asked if the board could
check their calendars and let him know of a time they could meet to review and work
through the lease agreement changes and the personnel policy manual.
The board decided to meet from 7 -9am at Sunrise in Caldwell to address the lease
agreement first.
Mike explained that the lease agreement needs to be as clear and concise as possible.
Also, he wants to ensure the tenants fully have the opportunity to understand what the
lease says.
Dana asked if anyone had any further comment. Estella asked Mike to report on the
store. Mike deferred to Brenda. Brenda indicated the store is doing really well, and that
income exceeded the expenses. Estella asked if now the store is making money they can
qualify for WIC. Mike stated WIC is a difficult situation because WIC requirements are
the vendor must offer choices. Three types of diapers, formula, etc. must be offered.
There is not enough inventory space to offer that in addition to the 90 items of each brand
required.
Mike reported that last year the housing authority used 8,700 hours of inmate labor at a
market rate of $9.00 per hour for a total of $101,000 worth of free labor; 800 hours of
Boy Scout labor and $1,400; and community hours for another $127k.
