Minutes
- Call To Order
The meeting was called to order by Vice-Chairman Grant at 8:06 AM - Roll Call and Certification of Quorum
A roll call showed that a quorum was present. - Public Comment
There were no public attendees. - Approval of Minutes
Flowers made a motion, seconded by Gauss, to approve the minutes August 25, 2023. The motion carried by unanimous vote. - Financial Report
Mr. Hyndman and Mr. Tucker presented the financials. With not being able to trust historical data (especially with some disallowed costs discovered by HUD), BDO was called in to restructure financial data and construct accurate financials. Discussion covered how HUD holds reserves and so funding will catch up to voucher overage amounts. KHA can always request HUD to release reserves. For the next meeting, BDO will provide the HUD 2-year tool report and a voucher utilization report to help clarify KHA's position. - New Business
