are at $358,000.00. For the year end clean up $9,000.00 was transferred from DVG, and there was
a CFP Administration transfer. Monica will do a mock up from quick books on the year end analysis.

at Harborview, saying the heat wheel is not working and will cause cold air to be circulated if we run
it the way it is, and we will then need more heat to warm up the cold air.

Special Guest: Public Safety Director David Bachman
David Bachman, Director of Public Safety talked about alleged non-response of the police department to
our calls. There was a call yesterday with a semi-truck that had been running for several days in the
Harborview Parking Lot. It was reported there was no response by the police. The officers did respond and
the truck had been moved. They didn’t realize they were supposed to come in and talk to the resident
manager and report the outcome to her. Dave said that a lot of the complaints that they get calls about
that are bogus, and there are no charges that they can file, or nothing they can do about a disagreement

reported that he always gets a response from the city police on any call he has made. Mr. Bachman also
reported that everyone in the fire department will soon be paramedics. He offered to provide any kind of

Management Improvement line in the budget. There will be an increase in wages for the Housing
Coordinator and the Bookkeeper/Financial Analyst. This will increase our budget expenses for 2015. Union
wage increases will be discussed at contract renewal in May 2015. Employees in the top five positions had
to fill out a form earlier which included their job descriptions. They were compared with other housing
authorities locally and nationally. We needed to comply with this survey that was performed based on
information provided. A step program needed to be used in the wage increases. The change in the budget
includes a one-time pay out, plus the wage increases.
Executive Director’s Report:
The usual Key Performance Indicators were discussed.
Vacant unit turn-around time is being tracked now. Are there common months that vacancies occur?
Tracking of our unit turnarounds will give us this information. Tracking will be by building and by unit.
