6. NEW BUSINESS
A. Resolution 01 -2011 —presentation and approval of 2011 budget.
Mr. Matthews reviewed the 2011 budget for the Housing Authority. He
stated that both he and Sally Payne had been under the impression that
Jefferson County Housing Authority (JCHA) would collect rents and pay
expenses for the property recently purchased by WRHA. In fact, JCHA
will be managing the rents but WRHA will receive the net rent monies. It
will be necessary to amend the budget when net income and expenses are
known for these properties.
It was moved by Kathy Nuanes and seconded by Joseph DeMott to
approve Resolution 01 -2011 enacting a budget and appropriation for
the year 2011. The motion carried 4 -0.
Mr. Matthews stated that Wendy Swanhorst, who has performed audits for
WRHA in the past, informed him that if the Authority's level of income is
under $500,000, the annual audit can be waived. She has estimated that
her fee would not exceed $1,000 to prepare information and apply for a
waiver of the audit.
It was moved by Joseph DeMott and seconded by Janice Thompson to
direct Wendy Swanhorst to prepare a compilation financial statement
and application for exemption from audit. The motion carried 4 -0.
B. Resolution 02 -2011 — Establishing a designated public place for the
posting of meeting notices as required by the Colorado Open Meetings
Law.
Chair Brungardt read Resolution 02 -2011 into the record.
It was moved by Janice Thompson and seconded by Joe DeMott to
approve Resolution 02 -2011 establishing a designated public place for
the posting of meeting notices as required by the Colorado Open
Meetings Law. The motion carried 4 -0.
C. Update on JCHA single family home purchase
Sally Payne reported that a contract has been executed for WRHA to
purchase several homes from JCHA using CDBG funds. Closing is
tentatively set for February 18, 2011. Two or three properties will be
vacant and ready for rehab. For a fee, JCHA has agreed to manage leases
for the remaining properties until such time as WRHA is ready to rehab.
Lease income received by WRHA will be used toward rehab. Alan
