Financial Reports
Carl Musso discussed the financials with the board. Supporting documents of the monthly financials and investment reports were included in the discussion.
The board received clarification from Carl on the high cost of major repairs to some of the units. Carl stated that the Maintenance Administrator did not feel that these costs would continue throughout the year but certainly needed to be addressed and dealt with at this time.
Carl reported last month that the authority would be doing a cash transfer
from Public Housing of the Vance funds to Development for projects that now
reflect in this months' report.

Other Business
The Property Tour has been cancelled due to muddy conditions at the site and the cold weather.
Gari Westkott addressed a concern she has in regards to the expenses Vice Chair Joan Smith will incur with her being on the National NAHRO Commissioner Committee. Gari is uncomfortable with the amount that will be spent as part of Joan's commitment to be on this committee.
Joan Smith stated that she has already committed to the three-year term and is required to attend three conference meetings annually. The $10,000 over three years for travel and hotel expenses could fluctuate greatly depending on where the conference meetings are scheduled. The dollar amount was a number that Preston Prince, Director of Aurora Housing Authority recommended that the Lakewood Housing Authority consider in their budget.
Gari was not aware that the $10,000 in travel and hotel expenses was over a three-year period. Gari has no objection to the decision to have Joan on the committee.
Adjournment
Meeting adjourned at 6:03 p.m.
