employees than you can actually make a motion on the this you just put do the [Applause] minutes motion to accept all all in favor motion proc not in Authority all right so for the
correspondence in your folder you just have the um bill from like it's not due until July but it just came in so just letting the board know um this is the appropriation for Bristol County everybody has to pay back a certain amount because um they need to get
certain funding in there to go towards the future with retirement so our portion the Krishna housing authorities portion this year is 44541 which is crazy because it used to be like 15,000 16,000 and it went to 22,000
now it's up to 44,000 that we have to pay what they do have more employees I they're just trying I guess to to they they to make whatever it is that they need for the difference in the retirement so they split it by all the towns all the schools all the and each
person has yeah the appropriation of I think by size so our appropriation is 44,0 541 so we don't have to vote on it that was it was just paper that I wanted to show you that that's going to be coming up in um July where my pension got from yeah yep
so you definitely want to pay that um that's all I have of the communications okay the director report yep so we currently have four vacancies um actually five vacancies here um we have
three downstairs and two upstairs Apartments the three downstairs apartments are going to be occupied by people that live here so we'll have um a few upstairs Apartments open right now we have an upstairs apartment open and that's actually going to be taken by somebody who lives here so um they
actually some we have two people that live together and they're going to be um living separate so we won't have to put that out in champ so um so that's what we have for the apartments Nancy and I um actually I shouldn't say mostly Nancy finished all the research in January so all attendant all attendants are 100%
recertified and their new rent should start on March 1st so um that was January is always our busiest month in the office and we did get through it this month as far as our 689 um program we had we've had the sheriff's program there and they actually just painted the
whole inside of the house um all the other is it they're not done um they were there for two weeks uh the Coo's on vacation this week so they're coming back next Monday to finish up um like the hallways and that and if they want to to go to the bedrooms they will but
right now they did the hallways the main area and everything so and it definitely saved us a lot of money having them come out so and the program was nice enough they were supplying the snacks in the lunch so we didn't even have to do that the program did that for us so we have that and as far as the 689 we also had
that money that um got lost in the shuffle that dhcd gave to us and we put some money into different categories um we're putting some money into turnovers here uh the rear floors and some the rest of the money went to garfeld street so we are also in the process of working
with the taunt and Housing Authority um we can sub up to them instead of putting stuff out to procurement and they're going to come in and they're going to remodel um the bathroom upstairs and a little bit of the bathroom downstairs so that's what we have for the future over at our 689 that we've been working on
and that's all I have for reports we have a motion to accept the director's report motion to accept the director's report glasses grab my glasses for a quick second so I can read that take a recess 5 [Music]
minutes had to car sorry about that okay back in business uh SCH business y the board to ro to accept the
amendment for funding y so we have a new formula funding bill that came in and it's actually um so it's the formul funding award for the year of uh fiscal year of 27 and 28 an a agent and place award in the amount
of 200 $1,359 17 so some of it is going towards the form the um formula funding for 27 and 28 but $122,000 is actually going to go towards um agent in place so what
that means is they're going to put $112,000 into a mod account almost like a turnover and as all the downstairs Apartments come up and some of the upstairs they have a list of new things that they want us to do like um uh
different shower um valves for handheld different um like uh door open yeah door opening downstairs they'd like us to do a tub cutout or put in a walk-in shower and Mike actually how many have I got two in so far he's already put in two
walk-in showers in the downstairs units only we're not going to do that in upstairs units because of possible damage for water and everything else and if people can walk upstairs they can get in the tub so slowly we're changing the downstairs either to a tub cutout or a
walk-in shower so this year we got $122,000 towards making those changes in the apartments and as we vote for this they're going to go ahead and um put that money into our mod fund and we can stop billing for all of that how many apartments will that 12,000 do well it
depends um we're lucky here cuz we're keeping it inhouse so how many apartments do you think it depends cuz some he's already done like the the the tubs around some something like that would probably just do a tough cutout um so but to how how much would you say
it's costing to do a shower a shower probably I don't know what the PL is going to charge but I would say around 1,500 with the pla which is it's a saving thousands and
thousands P whatever his pay is so yeah yeah and we do have a our perm is coming in and um that doesn't come out of our budget that comes out of the turnover money that they've additionally given us for the apost so so we just need a vote
um to approve the formula funding award for 2728 in the agent in place award and the amount of $ 21035 N17 make a motion to accept the F funding award 2728 and the Aging Place
second all in favor motion first and um the 17 don't know it's go to your pay um and we also need a board vote to write off um a rent for um a deceased tenant um no
family I can't take it off the books un unless I get a board um vote so I ask the board to vote to write off a rent balance of a deceased tenant in the amount of $332 I'll make a motion to write on the rent balance of 300 second all in
favor right and that's all I all we have all right for new business any old business nothing M report I think was already pretty much discussed like say we got the turnovers one of them is the
upstairs one is done ready to get in I think there going go there and been putting the shower units in uh just the snow storms and just normal meetings nothing major is going on have a motion for maintenance report
