4 . Property Management Issues.
A. Selection. Steve Altieri reported that he had met with
representatives of four firms. All had raised the issue of
the on-site Superintendent, especially on whose payroll the
person would be carried (the managing agent or the Authority) .
It was reported that the normal situation is for the owner to
carry the person. Steve told the firms to submit proposals
assuming that they would carry the Superintendent, although
the Authority would be willing to discuss an alternative.
B. Accounting & Legal. All managing agent firms stated that they
would be willing to arrange for these services. He asked for
the Authority's preference; it was decided to not make a4:1
decision at this meeting.
C. Insurance Coverage. It was agreed that the managing agent
would carry a fidelity bond on its employees. The Authority
will carry property and liability insurance.
D. Billing of Utilities. Managing agents asked whether the
Authority would consider not paying for apartment heating
costs, since each unit has a separate unit. It was agreed
that electricity billing would be done separately. It was
stated that themechanism is in place for separate payments
and that rents could be reduced by the amount included in the
proforma for utilities. It was stated that Section 8 rents
can include an utility allowance, but the Authority was
uncertain how such a change would effect Section 8 rents and
tenants.
