 You guys are on mute. Oh, there you go. Okay. Yeah. All right. So I called the board. All right. So I called the board. The LHA 53 board. 16. I would like to do the roll call. President. Lauren selling. Hasn't. Jean Christopher. Here. Arlene Sorkman. Here. And then staff. We have. Here. Here. First on the agenda is the approval of the July 19, 20, 22 minutes. Okay. Do I have a motion? I will move to approve. One. And that is. A word. And Suzanne. Comments. We have her. The facility has good moral. I think she. So just any there. Okay. And otherwise. I move to approve. Okay. We got a motion. Any discussion. All right. See. Yes. I. Motion passes. Number three on the agenda. Public invited to be heard. Nobody's president. To send it. Number four. All right. So this is my item. First of all, I want to introduce Rachel. Are you a community manager here. So she comes from. Loveland and has a ton of experience. And. Thanks. Okay. So talking about our advice for. Remember. Also. Just to recap where we've. Left things. We have gone to movie board to get approval to extend. Tom and Lauren's. Terms through as well next December. It takes to get. Our new members on board. We do have authority to go up to seven, which is to buy us with the seven members. And so the plan is to. Take that. We don't have a September board meeting because they're doing city council budget work. So our first, our next meeting with the board will be October 4th. So we will take the bylaws update until reports to change the. Advising board elections schedule. So as soon as we have that approval. Your next meeting, September 20th to show you that. So as soon as we have that approval on the floor, we can turn around and open up our process. We've already talked about ways to. We've already talked about the. The attributes we're looking for. We've talked about making sure that applications up on the website. And trying to do outreach during that time. So what I'm thinking is turn around and say right away. Next day, you could open up the application period. And then. I wanted to ask how much time. If you think would be appropriate to. Do some of that recruitment. We do need. For. We have Lauren's space to. Lauren has to reify. We've got Tom's space as well. So we're looking for. At least three new people. At the most right. At the most. Assuming, you know, that doesn't get a sense of it. Yes. So I was thinking an appropriate amount of time to make sure we get that outreach. Trying to give people enough time. I was thinking if we did October 5th to October 28th, that's three and a half weeks. We could extend it longer, but we definitely want to make sure we finish the application of you and interview process in November. And then a point by December. And I'll try to do that by mid months. It's not going to be the holidays. It's not going to be the holidays. It's not going to be the holidays. And actually our. Work specials. We don't currently have a board meeting in December. But we could. So. What do you all think about the timeline for. Yeah. That's okay. Or do you want to adjust it longer or shorter? Okay. Just how. Where all is it. Mentioned. Just on the website. In the past, it was on the city council's board. Commission's website. And then. Other than that, any other opportunities. Probably not in line with what's been in the past. We know of at least so it's kind of up to. More. So generally, but I have seen that. All the boards. Is there's a little work in there about. Can we do that or is that a cost thing? I mean, I'm squirreling. That I think it's usually. We do postings and then it's paper. They come in and say we're $100. I feel like that's worth doing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of hard. It's very echoey and choppy. Yeah. If I wonder if you could move me closer. That's fine. Yeah. That's better. Thank you. Yeah. I just wanted to do a couple of updates on the notable, not milestones here. So. You're doing some major exhibition right now. So they're. We're targeted to start July 1st. I think they ended up starting a little further into the. July, but they under that July 1st schedule, they were targeted to finish November. So. Let's call it by the end of 2023. They should be done. That should be turned over to the owner. And so Lisa will probably start ahead of that. Trying to get people. Release. But it'll start your whole course. That's just a schedule update. And also. The Hoover. Our future development partner is out on the streets. And we have a due date for. Publications. By September 14th. We do have several inquiries so far already. We haven't found out anything yet. We've got to pick up that process again. I think at this point, we need to. I think we're going to be able to do that. That is definitely the main. We're doing some work. Just a number of schedules. Village place. We are in performance development. It's all swing on that now. We have legal representation. Under contracts. Ready to go. And we are. Preparing. To. Right now. And so between Sarah. Our financial consultant and our legal team. We're strategizing right now the best way to do that. We expect it to be. So we're just trying to prepare as much as we can. We're just trying to make sure that. We're just trying to make sure that. We're just trying to make sure that we have some strategies. But we're, that's moving. So we really think that. By the end of this year, we should be getting. Architecture and GC. We should have that. Out on the streets to try and get somebody on board for that. To start really talking about. I just want to talk about a couple of bigger milestones. Since we last spoke, but if there's any questions on any of the developments, there's, there's obviously more going on. It's just all in the works. Yeah. Yeah. So. Any items that were six. So I, I want to just give you a heads up on what is coming. At least on. So I think that this, this is just a standing agenda. I don't think that. You know, I don't think it's going to be a good idea. To wake communication. Anything you would like to bring up. That we had. Bring up. So this is just a heads up. October 4th, because we don't have a September meeting will be pretty big. So we're talking about the, we're getting the bylaws. Taking care of her. The advisory board. We're going to bring the HcB admin plan to the board, October 4th. And so we're targeting giving you a summary. Of what we're going to be doing. So we're going to be doing that. We're going to change at the year September 20th meeting. Those are the, that is going to be a big one. It'll be. It's the first time that this board has gone through the admin plan. And making. Substantive changes as needed. So we're really. Using this year as an opportunity to get back on. Solidify. And so this, it'll be a kind of a. Working session possibly to make sure they understand everything. That's contained in an admin plan for a voucher program. And it could set policies and, you know, it just might go in a lot of conversational directions there. And then November 1st, we're going to be presenting the budgets to the board as well. So. If there's items that we want to preview on, you can do that on your meeting. It just has to be approved by the end of the year. So we're doing the November 1st. Plenty of time. If the board is not ready to approve the budgets right off the back, you can set a special meeting. We need it for December right now. We don't have the need. Unless they want that. Those are the big things on the pricing. So then if we didn't have any items that we wanted to say, I have a bunch of karma or something in particular. Maybe think about that. And let us know either ahead of time. We're cool for September 20th. Right. Anything else on that? Number six. Seven. Resident quality of life. Well, I could talk a little bit about the. Which I brought up last time. Or we brought up last time. I should say, I will say that I have since. Met with. And discussed the. Budget concerns and asked if there was a way. That we could have. Slush friend. I forget what it's called. The city has. Money. Go towards this to at least get it started. They could get a movement in the right direction. And I believe that she, she actually said that she would go to the council. To the council. And ask for $20,000 to get us through 22 and 23. And I think she's going to do that tonight. So I'm planning to attend. The council meeting tonight, just to see if she does. If they do approve that. Then we move forward with the next thing. Getting people letting people know. You know, And then we'll work with Lisa on that and whoever else, but letting people know that this is starting up. This is what it's going to be. For me and Lisa. I mean, I don't know what that is, but for me, it's free. It is, it is pre-service. So it's just a matter of kind of getting that started. Again. So that is. This, this is. Yeah. For the transportation to shop. Shopping. Yeah. So what. Particularly for. You were here. Yeah. I read a little bit. housing authority. So this happened in the past and Gene really knows about this because I wasn't living here at the time, but we did go actually go over to B. I've been talking to people over there and they're definitely interested. They've done it before. They know how to work this. So we're looking at twice a month, one day each time. So we do it that way. B can set aside a vehicle and they drive out specifically for that day. Otherwise what happens is people call in and take what they have available, but this way they have said that they will set aside a vehicle. So what we would do, or what they would do actually, is they would go ask the man who's taken to the Walgreens where they just want to go come back, maybe pick up at these two areas and then pick first ones up and take it around like that. So we figured at six hours, basing our numbers on six hours each time at $90 an hour came up to $540 a day. So pretty close to $5,000 this year, closer to $15 next year. That's adding on a little bit. If it gets so popular because we're looking at an hour and a half right now by the time pick up delivery, pick up delivery goes. If it becomes so popular that we need to add some routes, we could possibly cut it back from the hour and a half to an hour see if that works. And that way we can still reach more places and still have six hours. And what the mayor was thinking was that maybe after she can get approved through 2023, maybe look at some grant money or something like that to continue it. Because one thing we don't want is to start it and then have it start. But I will say this based on my interviews that I did with people last year in 2021 and the interviews I did again this year 2022, I've seen a number of those people who have much more frail giving up their vehicles. So I think that we need to kind of see if we can help them out a little bit. Okay. And when was this discontinued? Was this? When was this discontinued? Was it around COVID? Oh no, it was 2019 when we were in we were in quote unquote a budget mess. And the executive director at the time made the comment that well we do housing not transportation. So they got asked. And so for 20 years, you know, 15 years, LHA since it started has always provided transportation. But at that time it wasn't financially feasible. And obviously the executive director didn't like it. And I guess some of the board members didn't. So it got axed. And it's been a problem. Are you there, Lauren? Yeah. So anyway, it has been an issue. Did that get canceled before Tom and I joined? Because I don't remember that discussion. Well, we were we were here in this room. But we're talking because I didn't start till like January or February of 2020. Okay. I just wanted to make sure because I was like, I don't remember voting on that because I would have been opposed to canceling it. When did you join? Because this was January 2020. Oh, no, this was in 2019. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Because I agree. It's a it's an essential service that we provide to our residents. Yeah. And it is. It's always been for the senior community and throughout Boulder County, other apartment of their housing authorities provided. It's sort of it's kind of a given when I am honest with you when I moved in, I didn't expect it. I was delighted to find it because I had given up my car because of my eyes. And I went, okay, this is helping a lot. And we had a larger service. It was twice a week. And I think we can do it with twice a month and keep the cost down. But it isn't it's one of those resident services that is worth it. It really is. And the other thing is that VA has to determine they made it a policy that anybody that moves into an LHA property is automatically eligible for VA service. And you can be, you know, mobile, you have a car, whatever, but you're eligible. All you have to do is register and then you become active. So between VA's policy and allergenics, it was a go. And then now it's just a matter of getting the getting the funding for it. And it's out there. We can, we'll scrounge. Yeah. I think working with Brandy and Michelle, this past year, there's quite a few grants that we can reach out for. I'm only thinking next 50, the Rose Foundation. Yes, solicited before. Yes. That would probably, more than likely, don't give us this exactly the kind of stuff. Individuals, you know, percentage-wise, if you say there's any communities, don't either have an ability or shouldn't have a car. It's a very vital property. Like, you know, it's no large, aspen senior. I'd say, listen, half the residents drive. Village place is about 50, 50. I'd say Spring Creek, Fall River, about half drive. So we're still limited at 50%. So the vehicles will hold 10 to 12, depending on how many get in there. They also, excuse me, they also will provide, you know, a wheelchair. They will pick up a wheelchair as well. The vehicles will be here in Longmont. So they won't have to come from Boulder or anywhere else. They just should be here in Longmont. So it sounds like it's really their work code. It needs to get started. And I don't think, we hope to start in September, but I think now we're fine looking at them to get it to get it going and get us through. Let's move it. Yeah, there was a point when the leach place needed two trips. And there were so many people using them. And I think that they can work that. I mean, there's nothing in the muted area around our floor, any sort of cruciers. I'm feeling more of the brochures. Love to get this walk from the office. Anything else? And I do have, I want to follow up on some of these resident primitive life things we've been speaking about for a couple of meetings, but it's really the other specifics you want to report. So in light of the fact that we've got our resident engagement and our data from that, which my plan is to have that summary to present to you all on September 20th, I've got to summarize it to do the priorities and well, outline the group, the priorities of residents and prioritize from there. But with that in mind and then with the commissioners comments about wanting to receive advice and feedback from this board and bringing that up last week, Jen, you've been doing quarterly resident engagements as tie or to tie back and follow up on the survey or the interview, as I should say that we did. So I think today I wanted to get kind of something that we could work on to bring to the board in terms of advice or feedback. And I think the via conversation is perfect for that. And then in terms of doing a quarterly one, I was thinking for September 20th, using the summarized data and priorities to try and put that on as a quarterly thing as a follow up. And so I don't know how you want, do you want to follow up with residents on the quarterly basis or report to this group on the quarterly basis? Did you have any ideas on that, Jen? And basically I'm trying to see what we could feed to the board. I get what I would like to see is the data that you have. And you said you're going to put it together for the September 20 meeting. And I would like to see what that looks like. And I think that would give us an outline of what to do. And then sort of the jumping point. And we can develop it from there. Because if we're looking at September being a end of quarter kind of thing, and then we'll look at what time we have in December and what that looks like. But I want to see what you've got. And then what we could follow up with residents and what we need to follow up to impact residents in a better way. I think looking, I just want to put in, you know, from what I've heard from the resident surveys, like the security was a big thing. We've already addressed that in the works on that. There's a lot of things that are already in the works, the resident issues that have been in the works. So that we can report back in the fourth quarter. Yeah, one of the things, and I don't know if it came up because I stood back from the interviews because I was biased. But one of the things that keeps coming up is nobody around. And I know you're working on it. I do what I can to assuage. It's going to get better, it's going to, you know, and they're yelling at me. So I'm like, okay, sick, yell at me. Don't yell it. Okay. But that's one of the areas, I don't know if it came up in the interviews, but that's one of the areas that while there are cameras and those kind of securities, there is a sense of security when someone is responsible is there. And we'll talk about that more, but that's one of the issues that keeps coming up. And that did come up. And it was, and on the other hand, it was if the person is not going to be there, is there a way to put a note on the door or something like that that says, you know, nobody's here today? I think we've kind of got that the last few times when I know there's training, I'm kind of make sure the managers put a notice up on your door that the office is up close. If you're today, you're supposed to be on that site holiday, they might make sure there's a notice up, make sure the emergency numbers right there. Do you want to give a quick update on how the property manager hiring process your transition, where is that already coming up? I do have it down. Okay, so we'll just. Okay, let's do that. Okay, that was that was it. I just wanted to make sure we were tying to get your desires with board feedback was. I'm going to request something. I don't know if you can do it, but we get the packet the Friday before I would like to see the results of the data from the interviews like a week before. Sure, you couldn't get that out just so I have time to absorb it. Yeah, that's great to hear. So we'll shoot to get that to you by Tuesday the 13th of the latest. Thank you. All right, let's go on. That's number eight. LHU report update on operations. I have attached we did have a drop in occupancy for July. Just when we have a lot of meth units and you'll see on the bottom I did update this kind of show the method it's down units and all that. It's hard trying to get these units back online. We do have one coming back online by the end of this week and that will be the Swedish and it's similar one there that's been down for over a year. That will be right ready this week. So when I ask the Meadows neighborhood that's been down for almost a year will be up in October and that will be for instance unit she's going to move from the suite over there. So that's what that's great. Yeah, she'll be living in that one. We've had a couple of just bad minutes all around and you can see we had the lodge we had a really heavy urine so we had to we could eat without all the pouring, kills the wall, kills the floors, everything, seal it and put all brand new in there. We got the suite that was a food quarter with a bad infestation so even the clients had to be disposed of and it was a trip like that and maggots and the fridge had a little dumpster. My team was amazing and handling that move out. Put the screens out so I'm putting my phone right out. The sheriff stood in the hallway to think about the win. It's been quite interesting that the street was supposed to go back up to the best unit. 7114 that was the highest one that we had. It's now completely clean. We've got the bid from the additional work history to the insurance to okay the rebuild on that one. Seven three three zero that we know it's clean. They released it back to us two weeks ago. We have some specific for that one as of Friday. As we can see here, that unit's been cleaned. It failed the first cleaning so we have to now go back in and clean it again. Well they clean it but it just depends on the four surfaces are hard so and they'll try cleaning it again if they can't get the certain areas that sometimes the kitchen counters or the tubs throughout and if they can't get it clean then we have to rip that so they're hoping that they can just clean it again with their chemicals. And so you guys know when they do a typical cleaning and it's in the walls when they have to clean the walls they're taking off all the surface of the wall all the paint to get down to the drywall and then we have to go back in texture paint it and when they're done it's not just a front ready unit. It's not going to nature work ourselves. So at three like I said it's almost done. They will say it is September but Friday is report since the age that it's on the late to be delivered and the cabinets were delayed. So now it's late October. We too as the neighborhood that was in the kitchen a couple weeks ago. We just got the test results this morning and that put them back. This will be a review. That one is there's no garage so that's a lot less. That F3 has a garage pass so that way it could be even more. Three 106 and that was released and already can they move in? They're saying to move in. Any questions on the occupancy? So based on the fact that for two years you really have to be able to get into places. I'm thinking that this is going to be less in the future because you're going to be able to get in here or more frequently than that and check this out. And have a test with the renewal. That's what we're sorting through. At the same time that we are proposing that policy and going for an annual insurance renewal. So we're chatting with them about how to make the risk. In the long run it will be a lower risk. In the short run it might be expensive and we want them to be on board of us. So we're still talking about insurance. So we have that in the back of your head. Yeah, it's their branch out of their own. I'm actually looking at Tim at the end of the tweet that came to me and called me because he was having so much and he's actually applied for one grant. He hasn't been awarded it yet and he would for 100,000 to cover three units because he doesn't have the insurance. So he's having to pay for it all out of pockets. And so they have to think down for years because they have to pay for it as they get paid for it. So he applied for a grant to get it. I have all the information. He's already sent it to me. So it does get awarded a grant. You can possibly go after this. And it's through EPA. So the environment. Oh, awesome. Okay. So and it's for candidates and stuff like that. Yeah, it seems like EPA would support the insurance company. Look at this. Should we do the testing before moving in in order to do this kind of thing? Because if I'm understanding like that's when you do it. Yep. It's as when somebody works out and you test, you're not going to be buying a testing while I'm still in there and creating the accident. Okay. The, you know, the insurance company, they were saying, you know, it's about the underwriting. And we, we spun it on them. I thought that was fair. I'm not going to respond to that. We're like letting them digest and sending them information about it. And I think they were kind of confused about that. You know, we collected all of it. They said it made sense. Yeah. You just have to look at how the, the right policy. Because, I mean, you can argue that if you get the protection really enough, it would just be a cleaning rather than a formal. Exactly. Seeing what's going to come. And if we find, let's say, I mean, the chances of, we, we will, if we just did this across the board right off the bat, we would definitely find some things. The chances that we buy, find many really big ones. I'm not happy. So it's really looking at that initial, like, how many are we going to find right off the bat? Requiring expression. And then after that wave, then what's the benefit? So we're just trying to make sure they understand how this goes. And then don't they pay an initial deposit? When they move in. The residents. Yeah. It's not even close to what it would happen. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It would be something important. Typically there's other damages or other costs, or the attorney sees way outweigh that big time. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But we are working on that. These are not model residents. It makes no point. Yeah. That's the problem. Model residents don't get the publicity of these things. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to change that. We'll work on that. I was going to say, I'm like, well, like some of these, all these on these lists would be from that unit, and that move out to probably take, of my term myself, four to 10 hours of this. Yeah. Exactly. Just dealing with them. And I will add that the in-between is in a much tighter spot. They have fewer total units, higher percentage of units they have in this situation, and we don't have insurance. So we're really, this insurance policy is cool. So who can? So. And don't they depend on donations? What's the kind of, you can go with a lot of it? A lot, donations, brands. So we're trying to be a support, you know, work together, helping me. We both have the same problem in various degrees. So yeah. I have another question on this report. And I'm not familiar with Yardee. Never wanted to be. Okay. But you are. Is there a possibility that when you're listing, and I will take us from that senior, you've got four vacant and, you know, one of them Smith. Okay. But those four apartments, could you give us, you know, apartment, the apartment A is in vacant 30 days in apartment D. The math apartment has been vacant 62 days. I mean, I can. It's like keep a word next to my desk with all these lists that are belong to vacancies. Because I know this might be confusing to some, when you see four vacancies month after month, ask them as it's different, but like the lodge, she's had multiple vacancies in the heart, so there's multiple vacancies, but it's not the same vacancies because somebody will move in, somebody will move out. So those that are locked her, I can do those vacant over 90 days or something. Like three of these have been vacant over 90 days, because that's a separate report. I would run to get those numbers. Okay. But then you can see how long our vacancy is. Yeah, okay. Because it is different if it's leaving and whatever. But ours, they've been there for a while. And that's a staff issue, all the other stuff that's been going on. Not just staff, I'm not blaming staff. But it's just a little more background. Am I looking at the same four apartments or is it? I was thinking about that this week when I was doing this. I was like, yeah. Because I know she's had quite a few move-ins here at Spring Creek and Fall River and they're not. And she's had move-outs. And I'm doing the move-out reports that you guys have seen, you know, the move-outs, the move-ins, the move-outs, the move-ins, that it's not the state unit and all the properties. Yeah, right, yeah. Yeah, and I think you're, you know, the, the, whatever genre insists is lagging because, you know, we have fine vacancies. Yeah, yeah. Because it's like the last one didn't get in here in time. Correct. Okay. Okay. Yeah. But thank you for making it five. And you know what I'm saying. So Lisa, I have a question. When you go through here, you know, when you list all of these and you add them up, Spring Creek doesn't quite add up. And I just was wondering, are we, is there one more rental unit that should be listed there? Or is it four vacant? So. Oh, because one was the down unit, I think. Yeah, you've got the down unit. Then you've got two rentals. I wonder if it's really for your friends. To bring a move in. So we were going to do it in July. Right. Yeah, it's one move in Friday. So that way. So, yeah. Yes, I'm moving. Yes. So, and it's hard because I'm like kind of do this a month behind but talk to them. All right. I'm trying to get Susan's move in. Let's branch it. So I can give you guys a better snapshot of what's truly available. Right. But that's, that's my problem. This one, I was trying to get it done and pack it in and figure out where we choose to have with our vacancy. So, but there is now how we make it four. Four vacancies. And one just moved out. Because you need to go to places. Yeah. So that's that for another sport here. Lots of weightless. Lots of weightless. So any other questions on the occupancy? Well, on the weekends, I mean, are we getting responses pretty quickly on the most from people? So I, I'm called by each property. It's gotten about one or two responses. So then one of the topics that can I keep moving forward can I call more people. You can call five but we do one more response. Right. Right. Makes you wonder if they really need a place. Yeah. A lot of those things will put their name on multiple lists as well. Right. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And you call them. Well, I kind of want to put the name on fall river. So even though they put their name on fall river, they have to do an application per property. They still, oh no, I want to wait for this one. Or I can't move for another six months. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So a lot of weightless that greatly have 50 to 60 people on them. But by the time you start calling, they're like, oh, I can't move to next year. Oh, I was looking for two years hour. Oh, I'm not 62 yet. So. Or I don't have an income. Or you can't get through because I've found that we're just working more. There's that too. Yeah. You know what else you're about. Yeah. So we probably will be opening up a lot of our weightless here shortly. I know Eric and I started discussing it because even Karin's been calling out Aspen's and just dead ends. Yeah. So, but we have to work to about weightlessly and we can open it up and start fresh. So at least when we open fresh, we know those people are very eager and want to move. So our goal is to get to these weightless and try to get it open pretty quickly. And that will help with the hockey scene as well. Yeah. And then with the weightless for the properties, is that, that's not random, right? Is that correct? It's just, yeah, that's first thing. Yeah. And we just, that's the first thing. Yeah. Typically when we open those, there's no cap. We just take every application that comes in. And the other ones we, Aspen's, I was helping Karin on them last week. I was going for, I was like, wait, this thing is only 38 years old. She does not qualify. And then I knew about, oh, this guy 49, he doesn't qualify. So we have to go, you know, as we come across, so we pick him up. So. Yeah. But does it in your application or whatever it is, say you have to be 55 or 60? Can I put those on? Yeah, but as, but as for that, it was, you can be any age of your handicap. So, you know, with the recidivation. Yeah. Not with the recidivation. Oh, really? Oh, you have to be 62 now. Oh, see, I didn't, I missed that paragraph. Okay. Because it's all new funding dots. So it's the same thing that happened in Village Place, then? Well, Village Place is 62 and over. They don't have the 20% under. Yeah. Okay. That was part of a tax credit funding many, many years ago that you put, if you went through all avenues to fill your units, then you could step into a 20% for those who were disabled and under the age. Yeah. But you have to show that you had reached out to so many people to try to fill it with age-appropriate people. Which is why their weakness never closed. We just accumulated. Yeah. Well, I'm glad for that clarification because I would have been, I would have been disinforming people. Okay. Okay, moving on to the property updates. And this is some of these we may have already gone over. I try to update these as these come in. So, part of my plans for 2022 was to record and leave off of all the properties. There was one done earlier this year and I wrote, I walk with Cameron from the city facilities and kind of walk all the properties around a general plan, kind of going with what needed to be done and what were high-priority items. This coming quarter, when I get back in September, I'm walking all the properties with Dave, the site facility maintenance person, and the set manager. We already have these all scheduled. It's a four-hour walk where we would start at the top of the building, kind of walk all the hallways, every storage room, every closet, and start coming up with small projects, capital needs, improvement things that we need to make sure we're budgeting for before we approve these budgets, just so we know what we're looking at. And while we've already done the ADA and the disabilities one, so that we can combine some of these and see what these properties need. And then it's on my quarterly calendar so that I can follow up on projects. Like, if I see a hole in the wall, I'll be like, you need to get this done. And then my next, the next time, then I know I have an issue if that hole was not patched because that's a one-hour project total. So, so quality control with those blocks. So those are already scheduled for the rest of the year in the first two quarters of next year. But are you looking at like long term needs to like three years out, two years out? Correct. See where we're at with a lot of this. And pulling part of our walk that we just had done has a lot of these things already on it, but it's just being more proactive on it too. Because we're supposed to be now to lengthen the life of some of our items as well. And then I didn't put this under the general property updates, but I think the fair housing training was amazing. Great turnout. We had over 50 people between remote and in-person. So, money was spent by LHM. And on that, are you guys required to have fair housing certification? Annually for all sides. So, this was much more, usually it's gonna be, just have to have like a fair housing 101, but this was much more than the requirement. It was good. Really good. So, our hope is to bring something like this every year to get that more in-depth, to back up our general, and that we have to do for CHAPA. And we have Yardee Aspire, which is our trading module, which I have it in there that we require the staff to do a better second hour long. So, this will be a great second and more in-depth, where we can use our own stories, remember situations, what we're encountering, because it's so different than what the nation-wide trainings, or statewide trainings, I think are more or less so unique to the situations we see here. And is it not like online or is it in-person? Like if you're online. The last few years have been in-person. So, that we all do it, and we kind of do it. We set a time for you to have that event this month, and the staff can log in and do it, and pass the test. But I think opening it up to the board, we open it up to community, neighborhood, HCI, all these different departments at Interactive LHA, I think really helps to see what we're doing with senior services. I know talking to Brandy afterwards, she was like, wow. She's like, steps that you guys have to encounter. She's like, we think it's easy. Yes or no question for you guys. It's easy, easy, easy, you know. Right, right. So, she's like, it kind of made her department a lot more aware of how they need to help residents and not help residents on stuff that comes to their homes. And that each case is not correctly the same. It is one size fits all. Correct. For the suites, the LHA team spent two Wednesdays working together to spruce up the community. So after we did lockouts, addiction moveouts, the teams got together and we had a million projects. For the suites, the halls, common areas were all repainted. We rearranged furniture, power wash, scrub. You name it, it happened at the suites. So all three floors, all community rooms, the residents are extremely ecstatic. We kind of set up a little reading look in the back of the front. They have a huge large, when you walk in, so we made a little reading look in the corner. And right after we moved the furniture, our resident was like, I love this. He said, I want to be involved, but I don't feel that I can be. And he's like, I feel now that I can be part of the community, but still have that little protection. Exactly. Some of the trauma-informed design that we're putting into the building and store, there's opportunities to have privacy and great interaction. So thank you so much for that. And then we got the... Yeah. It's so inviting. Just hitting the walls, doing some contrast. Yeah. Karen moves her office up into the class office that can be used for security. So Karen has now moved into that. So when she's there on site, they can see her. She's present. She's the one who's coming in and out. And it helps her kind of control and do what she needs to do and catch residents as they're coming and going as well, instead of being down the hall, where we can notice residents at the suites feel like they're walking to the principal's office there. All right, because they have to go in and they go down a hall to get to an office. There, she's right there. She's present. She can open the window. They don't have to come in. They don't have that. Oh wait, so I really want to do that today because you do know they have a lot of anxiety and stuff about that property. And so we did that right before the investor NHG came out and they were excited with the property conditions. The residents were actually out there talking to the investors and how much they like it there, how much it's changed. And so the investor left on a happy foot. So you were excited for that. Awesome, awesome. A little bit more. I already talked about the best units there. And then we had two evictions for instance in July, one for abandonment and then one for substantial these violations of both are pending move out in August. If they don't move out on their own, then it will be the sheriff come out to do it. Yes, well, because we haven't tested yet, but they don't, they go into the beginning and then my crew has to go in and move all the belongings to the firm. So we are the fastest movers in Longmont. Oh yes. We have packed the units and got everything outside, 10 of us and less than an hour. We just got that. It's funny to have you there. It is swift, yeah. So, and I use that at going out and asking us here when we've done a couple of the lockouts recently, the residents are either sitting outside sharing it all in. What a way to make this guy, he's off and making sure my crew is hydrated. This was those things that were like nine to six, eight, seven. We were doing this at seven o'clock in the morning. Yeah. So, let me just say something. When I was interviewing at Aspen Bells last year, there were seven people who had a concern about one particular resident. I know he looked at it and my understanding is that based on their concerns and the fact that you guys saw video of this, this person has been evicted. Is that correct? Correct. Great. I applaud you for that. So, we've had. That's why they were applauded. So, we've had three big, we had three cases in the last few months there and all, one moved down on their own through the eviction process and two others were with the Sheriff's assistance. But I will say my call, but I was probably getting from Aspen Bells in your day, five to 10 calls. I did none. Good. None. So, it was, that is probably a good hour of my day prior to these evictions was the residents calling. Did you see this? Did you see this? And I had to go in and pull the video footage, save that document and make, talk to residents, get written a statement. And it was a process. So, it is completely calmed down at Aspen. I bet it's quiet. Yeah, my concern now is it's getting too quiet. There was plenty of what? So, Aspen Meadows neighborhood, the, the mention, like I said, which will be, for instance, it will be done in October. They've already confirmed that. And then, we had one eviction that was granted for the nonpayment from September to July and not paid right. So, we got that one evicted, moved them out and then that's when I got the positive results on this morning. For Briarwood, the Veterans Community Project completed their outdoor reunification project that we put 50 on them, LHA paid half, they paid half and they got all volunteers to be in work. They refurbished the gazebo, made a kind of barbecue area. We did the landscaping, planted flowers, except for the residents who started helping and going out there, earning the flowers and helping out. There, we had one eviction granted for nonpayment of rent for multiple months and I believe we're already pending a move in through the locally funded voucher program into that unit. So, that one will be taken a short amount of time. So, not knowing a whole lot about Briarwood are the majority of the people when they're disabled or not? They're not disabled. Some of them were there through the probation program that used to be part, Briarwood originally had, they were probationary units through the Sheriff's Department and some of them obtained vouchers after living there for so long. Some are locally funded vouchers from the city of Longmont that kept them off of local case property for the whole list. We have, we'll get it there and then the other ones are just, one of them are the part of the house. Some have just anxiety issues. So, we have two families living there as well. We're the people that are in the child and then a couple of their kids are child. So, with registered community projects, we do have some veterans living there and so they work with those veterans but they kind of embrace the whole community because it's 10 units. So, they work with those residents of them and they kind of, pretty backhand we saw this, you know, this is going on. So, it's kind of like sort of eyes and ears to it. Well, this used to be where the LHA, um, were. So, um, I'm not looking, we also have one pending eviction that the guy did, it was an eviction probably a few months ago, we evicted his neighbor, which was his girlfriend and then so then he kept on letting her come back to the property and spend the night. So, we work with, um, registered community projects, he's my purposes on a veteran voucher and to kind of explain to him what was all that jeopardy and if we, like, you know what, I'm staying here. I'm not going to jeopardize my housing. I'm going to be a compliance, um, no more police calls, not babies. We're just coming to the police and not using the case manager that that's going to be a project that's going to make sure that one of the two we're able to date. The LHA properties, um, the LHA, we took, we heard the residents speak back after the last meeting where they're like, nothing's been done, you know, the community areas are looking bad. So, we updated the office, what it would say after eviction and then we went about heat sample colors. Post with all the columns so that we could start voting because we figured that's a easy update to do extensively is that they all take that as we go when we walk in. So, we got blue, green, green, and we got we narrowed it down moving it throughout the community and put four each color up that way with each color and they've been voting, marking, counting, you know, which colors they want. So, our vote is, um, end of September, early October, to at least create the colors and the entry-way works that cut the ground into kind of a blue. We were agreeing something that's kind of for when you go to the carpet kind of takes the whole community for the vote. So, we took that away from the last one. Spring Creek, um, the residents hosted a Fourth of July Market to their community funds. They had a great turnout and then on Tuesdays they're doing a Typhon vote class in their community center and it's, when I can watch on the front it's just about 40% of the residents are now participating in that every Thursday morning. So, and one of the residents it's been quite instructive so she goes out there and she teaches it and it's all chairs, all the chairs. They love it. They love it. They love it. But kind of give them something to focus on. I'm sure they'll take care of you for it right now. They'll take care of you. They'll take care of you. Um, Fall River Care, they've, um, really been working on their gardens to get to the proxy out front and all the bars that are growing and they have a beautiful garden at the end of the here that is considered in our newsletter that is just overflowing. So, that's what they never had actually, they never really had it when they opened the garden. Okay. So, they're just starting to get into that and they have three distributions and yeah. Anything for spring to fall if you want to have? They did their last spring week to their birthday celebration this last Saturday. They do that through a big arts class. They, so, yeah, proposed a little about 300 dollars worth of items they want to do. Um, about half the residents kind of to do it and I mean, they're paying five and everything. So, they need to get these those seven degrees over and over precious and all that. So, that's what I think is that I know that we have to care about. I think you know this should get altered a bit. So, okay. Um, also for fall where there's one unit that was granted a vision for non-farm and a break for multiple months. After the addition was granted the resident I guess finally let her family know what's going on because we can't just call the family and say, hey, this is what's going on. We can encourage, we can try and she did not but she probably did reach out to her family and her son reached out to us. We were able to sit down management, senior services. So, the Asian department seems to be a bald mind with her son and we sat down and kind of went through and um, she had the funds available for a couple of weeks to get them but they got all the funds to take all the trinities, all the faculty and friends. Everything that they take she's the judgment to be in her house here. So, and now her son is taking over the financial and self-cultivating to make sure the rent is paid but it's the beginning it's the opportunity our side of other stuff and the son had not seen it until he started at me and one of my managers was thinking that the same question multiple times and she gave me a different answer that the son was probably aware of how significant it is because we see it and we try to get about the type of services involved but they said that when they talked to her she was talking to them up and that was not so and then it's again and now it's a hard one but it's the help that she needed so much for help but she didn't let us return to her family so it was nice to get her late when we were together and she still lives here and everything's going good the son lets us know hey I dropped off the list we're good yeah yeah for her recently we did her a copy of the rent check so she has it and you know you know yeah good enough yes much better yes so that's one of our happy cases recently then we have one heavy eviction right now well we've already been granted eviction through the courts had a secondary inspection for court order for with total enforcement sale so we're just waiting now for the system truck which is still up but it isn't the junk piece right now that's because we've worked with him to clean that up yeah but now it's the apartments another issue that's not in code yeah okay probably we're going to take it yeah it's like that right now yeah okay um heart stone no updates at the moment um the lodge we because the HUD budgets are due a little bit sooner than anything we have to get those proposals out we are proposing for the lodge um about an eight percent increase this isn't passed on to the residents it's passed on through the HUD subsidies that we get so we did Kendra and I went out posted notices last week to let the notice the residents know that we would be asking for a rental increase there and it's where we're seeing cost increase already is the snow removal obviously we budgeted 11 pools and we had 15 so far this year and we're mad at them then so we know we're going to be over budget there I think the lodge had a 15 to 20 percent insurance increase so and then we have the increased salaries benefits stuff like that so so um and I know we've talked about this before but there was a thing about the LHTC turning on properties over to LHA is that still in process it is so I think of a quick update on that we just provided an update on that before the last time we went with them which was August 2nd so for Delage Place we're looking at whether we can get the transfer to happen ahead of the recidication or if it has to go with it that's part of that investor strategy for the layman to the LHTC owns at Parsone next to Parsone launch where I think it's just going to be a purchase where we're thinking about using the City's Archive funds and have dedicated to that land to purchase it because the LHTC does owe the affordable housing planned out of the city once they transfer ownership so just doing a you know purchase exercise and moving the money in a big circle that would take care of that one Spring Creek and Fall River are supposed to be pretty straightforward we just need investor approval to switch over to the entity and so the attorneys think that that would be pretty straightforward of them getting going on that that's going to be the first one to do since it's probably pretty straightforward and with who holds me missing on those players the land Spring Creek Fall River that was it Parsone launch oh Parsone launch oh I forgot to say Parsone launch is well we're looking at doing the exit from the 202 program so we're trying to see do we do it do we just transfer the land before we do it until after we have to strategize that one it's according to the attorneys they think it's going to be rather straightforward but we just have to figure out which thing comes first is best what's the impact on the residents exiting 202 they will all go to project based vouchers so then after one year being on a project based voucher they can request for the housing choice voucher which is a section eight voucher and be able to take their voucher outside right now at the 202 they pay 30% of their rent but it's not transferable they only get that since it's right at that property right but but and then LHA would have more control over the budget everything we do would not have to be approved by HUD right yeah they're ready to just stay at 30% they are going to stay at 30% correct okay and the voucher will come a little later all right okay the negative additional services too when we just continue on the district yeah correct yeah because those are already built into our budget so it actually gets us a little bit more budget flexibility like yeah if I need to replace an AC right now I can't say yes just go do it out of budget we have to get the approval from HUD to go buy that AC so and and that way they would fall into even have that crunch of having to submit vouchers um for the property all the time I it'll be it will be taken over by the uh htbt right right the manager right now has to stretch up the cms every month from the track yes reporting again to get that funding from HUD right and where we been delayed funding for months at times so at the end of the year when we're still waiting for approval right and funding where we can go I think it goes the lodging with four or five months with no funding for that property to share right it will be paid through htbt yeah correctly unlikely yeah so it's more flexibility for both lhj and the residents exactly yeah without changing your yeah to get out of the program if they wanted to so so they if they did one of the departments in our lodge anymore once they're in the housing choice boundary they could just go anywhere and use it which I understand is a really hard to find place to take that that's that's the the challenge but they could stay across lots of they don't to that but it's somebody who we wanted to so there's the lhdc boards still meet they do so have you mentioned to them that we have openings on the lhj board would anything be interested once that's kind of idea over yeah that's a great idea we've been in september because it would bring us a different background information into the situation we meet with them it's september 21st right after your next meeting so I will I will put that on there that's a great point actually there is one that will go actually good okay and then just show the stacking in the open positions so the spring creek problem river village place cat is going to be a village place starting next week which will be full-time there cat will be full-time spring spring fall river which Rachel sorry and I have a right here for me um Corinne is splitting her time 50-50 between the Aspen and the Sweets because when we are down two assistant managers we've been trying to hire we had one we made an offer for but would not could not pass all the background checks we had another one we were reaching out to that she took another position in the city so I made an offer on Friday he's accepted he was actually already going to the city's hiring process so fingers crossed we can get him started by next week the custodian I think we're just going live on that amount in the city we've had it in our hands but we haven't got much any traffic so hopefully now being listed on the city website and all the city resources that we can start hiring and getting good candidates for that position and then we have the three positions for the building attendant at the Sweets that will replace security we get one interview on Friday and we have another interview tomorrow so we're moving ahead on that one and hopefully we'll get those staff here pretty shortly clarification what is what is the difference between the building and the attendant and the security the building attendant is kind of a dual role so instead of just sitting there watching the front door they'll be more proactive on the property they could be helping out maintenance custodian so that they're not just sitting there we've already we're interviewing it's in our job description that you know it could entail anything from help filing office work to painting the porters if they're on the graveyard shift it could be painting a vacant or a touch on painting the hallways just to help painting the property as well so it's 24 seven somebody's going to be there not 24 not 24 seven it is like 23 seven so somebody will be there seven days a week the night shift I believe is like 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. 5 days a week and that's the full-time position and then there will be two weekend people that will be the 24 hours on the weekend and those are two 20-hour shifts with flexibility to cover holidays and vacations and stuff so I know I've asked this question before are we bringing our salaries up to meet like the rest of the area I know that last time we had a meeting with a concerns with Herald with stuff we need to look at raising salaries for next year are we bringing is that a problem with some of these why we're not filling in the salaries no we we are competitive in the markets we do the city when we came over to the city they did the market analysis for all of them and the hiring range the paid ranges and we have stopped to that we follow the city's plan we do expect increases for everyone but that's what is working on the budget right now that's like 2023 for most city and energy positions to keep the market yeah a lot so we we are right there with the market we we check indeed every talk just to make sure that we're staying in the capital and they get benefits right correct and that's that's great that's right part of their salary yes so that it's just that the very good kind of the hiring market guys we'll just notice are mentioned you don't see finance updates on here what you usually do the LNJ board did give directions kind of to just preserve that for quarterly instead of monthly but it wasn't just much to update on so that's that's gonna okay start happening we'll have one last so coffee and conversations we did not do it in in August we had a few in July with some different vendors come out pays and two pays came out at a couple properties and all of it came out to a couple properties August we didn't schedule anything because of vacations school starting it's been very hectic it being lower staff but we do hope to resume in September and October and our plan is to have Kendra and Harold to attend those because we know we have LHA hasn't done rent increases in several years so we know it's gonna be a big topic because we we do need to implement some rent increases coming into 2023 and so with lease rules in 2023 so we are preparing that looking at different strategies for some properties some properties Fall River is operating very close to what Chetka allows us to annually I think we are operating at like 30,000 under for the year from max rents but we have Village Places operating at 327,000 under so these rent increases are going to go to the residents or the percentage we haven't determined all that yet we're looking at the different brackets we have like three five seven ten looking at the properties income based on the demographics of the residents income so we have a big it's been some big meetings so yes we're still going to be covered by the voucher but two right you won't want to well the vouchers are already being the max about the rent oh okay so and the residents just paid their portion but this is for those who are in like a 30% unit where the free-to-be-cheat charging probably 705 but there weren't still in the 500s so because the rent increases like that yeah and you're looking at the impact of that existing on the residents yes we're comparing their their current quality we have to follow fair housing so we can't make a specific decision based on somebody's specific income no but you want to look at that before they want each household AMI so we can see that compared to the percentage of unit they're in compared to what they're paying and increasing not to like nobody's going to match like checking us are very close to it it's less than the percentage we're going but it'd be very it'd be fair across the board and it's much there's a lot more looking at so we're not looking at going with 500 705 no no no no we're looking at a percentage increased based on what they're already paying and only increasing at a percentage and everybody yeah like but it would it would mean I'm assuming less than 10% I even though you might want to entertain 10% but that's going to be a wallet we are definitely looking at making sure that it's not a wallet for people there are so we have it's across the board we have some people that are at 60% income and they're paying 30 paying rent based on what a 30% income would so they're they have to disparity yes and there's some of the other under situation as well so we have to weigh all of that make sure this is you know it's swallowable not I don't know what that's the exact percentage of the threshold is on that yet we're looking at all of it to see we're looking at like like social security plans on increasing as well so there's a lot of factors we're putting into this yeah the social security interest so this matter so it's a wash sure I'm sorry okay but basically for example a village place the the rent we're going to we're collecting is so low that it will impact our ability on the race in the kitchen to get an investor that will yeah work to do this yeah so we have to wait there's so many things to wait yeah um so just try to come up with something equitable doable yeah so we're seeing a bunch of people living a homeless life right we're that's what we're looking at the households we have if it's what they help us and they're definitely yeah there was a lady at our door manager wasn't there so but if she was leaving she said well I've got to find a place to live where I'm living just increase my rent 200 a month and it you know I just yeah that that's happening out there and and hopefully we're in a position to be the fall back when that happens to it's hard because all our costs are increasing and like I said worry yeah but I'm just saying increase I know I know I've got to wait all of that we've got to be able to do the whole thing property has to operate we also need to be that you know we are housing the last resort or something so to start passing the rumor and get people graced and actually I've been doing that for the last three years just expected you know we can't we can't go on forever without any of that it's that some of our costs have almost doubled some have tripled this past year and then yeah with the delays and people like I've been waiting for new kitchen soon for six weeks I'm like we've been waiting nine weeks for the new process and our supplies we just see our supplier costs going up yeah there was a movement and I could be talking a couple of decades ago since I've been retired at least a decade now that we didn't keep inventory it was just in time inventory are you familiar with that and I'm looking at the consequences of not having inventory and you know we might have to but not having it and having to wait and wait and wait because the last three years it's been horrible and with COVID and then and now with if the international situation of who's going to be able to manufacture what I'm learning actually working on that so okay we've instructed maintenance like if you start sitting like like the box for I'm going to use an example we've started noticing that there are smoke detectors are in the 10-year mark I was like every time you order you know you need one order two because we know they're going to have another one as soon as you use that one order two more you know get that back stop so so that you know because we know it's coming so saying with faucets I'm like keep one on hand so emergencies we're not making that last minute rind of home be boring it's hardware paying twice as much that we could pay through HD let's have it our hand yeah so I'm looking at big appliances as well we don't have it in the store so that's what I'm looking at that's what I'm looking at well when we asked the metals we were very lucky with the recent occasion that we were able to pull 10 fridges and store them throughout and we we have one left I think that's pretty great so but we pulled them in separate them out through the portfolio so that we had back up fridges because we knew they were delayed they were all backwards so have used most of our 10 fridges along with ordering them but yeah sorry so one more just comment on the balance is we're in this position where we're trying to catch you know we're getting feedback about the maintenance and the projects the properties yeah and we're trying to catch up on backlog from the years the pre-COVID years when LAJ was in a budget situation then the COVID years and everything that did so the fact that we are still working on catching up properties in this cost situation and I mean budget was tight this year but we made it but we're going to make it and then also having no record it's just like a double hit to right to provide the things that the residents are asking for without and it has to be a attack so it starts to balance yeah yeah so it doesn't work the other way also this came up in one the interviews somebody who had lost their spouse then when they come up for renewal of their lease does that adjust their cost? not their if they're not what I have I do have a question when when when impossible about the rent increases I know we're looking at increasing the rents of the people who are currently living here but are we able for new residents who are coming in to charge a higher rent more that's correct that's great that's holding that awesome but yeah yeah we can do that but all you need is white tech except for village place at the moment because it's hard to get a max with the type of product we're offering because they have a lot of recent occasion but we know once recent occasion happens I ask them that is everything moving let's go to the max right yeah so we do get that so these are just people who have been there longer than a year plus well and you know I try not to be spread every year slowly right well I think okay we're at 10% or right right yeah I I will be I will be a I will gradually read the I will be a yeah so going forward yes we will it will be minimal compared to okay that's why I went currently Kendrick to go to the properties with me as we start to have a letter that will go out prior copy of conversations which is what our proposal is and which is why and then have Kendrick and Carol there to help go through this process you know I know we had a meeting with some spray free residents of the municipal where while Kendrick and I got down to the budget with residents who and they got to look at the the data rise or the pay of mortgage being updated but like they thought we had all this money just laying around and we wanted people what happens to money from last year and we're like that goes to investors we don't just keep that in our pocket that has still to pay down debt so having those conversations and having to look at the clear picture I think will help as well yes there's a lot of projects we want to do but I do not see a full bill we've got a plan in budget but that helps because then when residents can see it more and more and it is it's that it reaches that gap oh why should I trust you and that would be great but if you want the money you've got to submit it as much more accountable like like I said we're low on the watch how we proposed it to the residents it's like we budgeted for 11 school schools we had 15 and we're not even done with years and we know we're going to be over budget on that the insurance cost we're not this is going to everything's falling out that money has to yep it seems so hey guys I have one more thing sorry I have the screaming child who won't let me speak I just wanted to know are we doing anything about the deaths of Anton Anton Dwarak who was a LHDC member did we do we want to you know he was the I didn't know was an LHDC okay yeah he I think he's been like a long long serving member in the community and he worked with Cameron yeah it would be nice I think if we could honor him in some way you know like maybe a memory like a tree or a bench or something yeah thank you Arlene just said we should look at the the organization that was listed on as a mature yeah so Longmont United Hospital Foundation was one yeah okay no problem thanks guys
