Frank presented Resolution 2007-02: A Resolution for the Purpose of Approving the 2006 RealEstate Assessment Center (REA C) Annual Report Submission as Mandated by the United States Department Of Housing And Urban Development (HUD) for the Public Housing Program of the Housing Authority of the City Of Louisville This is our Management Assessment submission. This has to do with Hillside (Public Housing). Only COl1,cern was the unit turnaround time for a vacancy at Hillside in 2006. The move-out date was 3/31106 and we took extra time making sure we could get a family that needed ADA accessibility leased up there. It changed the turnaround time to about 40 days. Motion to approve by Terri Abbott, seconded by Callan; motion approved and carried. HMSautomation update: Implementing automation of PO, encumbrance, inventory tracking. Expenditures will be tied to units, and work orders. It will eliminate paperwork work. This will . be a significant step in streamlining work. This should be implemented in mid-February and up and running in March. Finance Report: Lisa Bangs Proposed Rent Schedule. Sunnyside has not been updated in years. Full year would bring in $27K additional revenue. The increase would not go into effect until the rental lease is up.. The Board felt the increase at Acme, $50 increase, would be too high. The reason we want to go higher there is because we pay electricity at that site. After much discussion and since this will not directly affect the residents at Acme since they are voucher holders, the Board agreed on a $50 increase. Rental costs in Louisville have decreased since 2000 but during 2006 are now on the increase. There are risks to increase or not increase. We have not had a rent increase in at least 4 years. Maybe give month-to-month leases 60 days to implement. For those on a yearly lease, at the end of their lease. Reconsider the $50 increase at Acme. Make the business decision on whether to increase or not, then the voucher part will follow. Let BCHA test the month-to-month on where we are headed
