Charlie Muenzberg moved approval of the October 14, 1976 minutes.
Mary Klopfenstein seconded, and the minutes were approved by consensus.
Income and Operating Expense Options Through 1979; Section 8 Existing
Rent Program Costs Subsequent to Start-up Phase
John McGraw stated that the optimum number of units, for current staff
size, is 300, for management under the Section 8 Program. The current
staff size may present a problem in terms of the initial start-up
phase. An additional 96 units would most likely present the need to
hire another maintenance mechanic; and, would potentially pay the
salary of the currently CETA subsidized social worker.
- Preliminary indication from HUD is advertisement for the next
50 units of existing rent in January, 1977.
