NEW BUSINESS A) ACTION ITEMS [AMEND FISCAL YEAR 2009 OPERATING BUDGET]
This Resolution was presented by David Rosario, Acting Director of Finance. In order to obtain successful conversion to asset management and comply with Stop-Loss regulations SFHA is required to have a Board approved operating budget for each project that reasonably reflects the anticipated revenues and expenses for the project. These project-based budgets must be inclusive of all central office charges, including management fees and fees for centralized services. SFHA’s initial budget didn’t reflect the centralized service changes that were made during the year. This budget revision will reflect the estimated centralized services revenues and expenses at the project level as well as the COCC. If SFHA complies with Stop-Loss requirements, the Authority will have the subsidy reduction discontinued from $7.2 million to $1.7 million. Commissioner Jones motioned to approve this Resolution. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion. This Resolution was approved unanimously.
