Agenda Item V – Review of Vouchers, Bank Statements and Financial Reports Mrs. Troiano reviewed the August financial reports from Gordon/Griffin and the September in house financial reports. She noted that it is early in the fiscal year, but there are no issues that stand out. Our Section 8 Voucher Program has a net income of $8400, due mainly to the reconciliation of our earned admin fee against the amount actually earned. Agenda Item VI- Executive Directors Report In addition to the written report, Mrs. Troiano elaborated on the document in the Board packets showing the history of the Section 8 Fair Market Rents and Payments Standards. Agenda Item VII- Discussion and Action Contract for Legal Services Mrs. Troiano provided a brief summary of Paul Guiliani’s service as our corporate lawyer from the early seventies until his death in July. In the last several years especially since the sale of Heaton Woods our needs for his services has decreased. However, it is important to have an attorney on retainer when issues arise such as the public records requests. The proposed contract was reviewed and after a short discussion Commissioner Hannon moved that the contract for legal services be approved as presented. Commissioner Stevens-Favorite seconded the motion and passed unanimously. . There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:45 pm Respectfully submitted, Jo Ann Troiano, Secretary
