<br /> FISCAL YEAR 2007 BUDGEr APPROVAL AND SUBMISSION:
<br /> Torn Joy reviewed the figures for fiscal year-end 2006 and mentioned that we have about $46,000 in
<br /> reserve, which is the most this housing authority has ever had. He then began to present and explain
<br /> the MRVP and 4001 Fiscal Year 2007 budget submission. Mr. ,boy explained that this year is the first time
<br /> since fiscal year 2002 that DHCD has allowed an increase. DHCD has approved a % increase to non-
<br /> utility budget iters, including salaries for fiscal year 2007 budgets. The only exception is the
<br /> maintenance man who stags at the Labor &Industries rate, however his salary has been automatically
<br /> increased each year. his. Botsford mentioned that 2001 the maintenance salary has increased
<br /> approximately %. He went on to explain that, Muse the housing authority is no longer
<br /> administering as many Section B vouchers, our income from that program--which has carried a large
<br /> portion of administrative salaries—has been greatly decreased and cannot carry as must of the
<br /> administrative salaries as it used to.- In the budget, we are proposing,the allowable 7% increase.in
<br /> salarie ,.but to take the difference th.at the Section 8 can.no longer c rTy rnd•split,t between 4001 and
<br /> I I P pro rams which leas'about a $17,000 reserve,in"it right now). He stated that'he didn't-know hoer
<br /> receptive DH D.,will be, but its our only option. If they,deny it, we will .need to neer again to make
<br /> some tough decisions about staffing. her. Joy' explained--that yrs.- Botsford has drafted a letter to go the
<br /> DHCD with the budget submission, explaining our situation. He then went on to explain the rest of the
<br /> budgets and mentioned that we are not asking for a subsidy from the state, which shouldn't sway their
<br /> decision, but it may. He also pointed out that the MRVP is more time consuming, doesn't pay a lot in
<br /> administrative fee ($32.50 which is about 1 of what the federal programs pair), it is the largest program
<br /> i we have— unlike other housing authorities—which males this authority unique.
<br /> After discussion, Mr. Laporte moved that the proposed operating budget for State-Aided 4001
<br /> Housing of the Ma tepee Housing Authority chapter 667/705 Programs Number 400-1 for
