1. Revised Rent Schedule.
Steve Alteiri made a presentation about the issue of whether to
change rent levels and the responsibility of making utility
payments. The primary proposal was whether to separate meters for •
apartment heating units and electricity. The original plan was for
the Authority to pay all heating and electricity costs. The
proposed alternative is for the tenants to pay for utilities,
except for water with the Authority decreasing rent levels in
accordance with Section 8 guidelines.
It was stated that the existing Section rents are at the maximum
rent and include a 10% special provision for new units with special
amenities. The result of the proposed change would be an $11, 000
increase in Section 8 subsidies with a corresponding decrease for
the tenants. Steve Altieri and Cathy Copa would prepare the
necessary paperwork.
Chairman Winick stated that he did not like the idea of reducing
the annual rent roll . He asked Steve Altieri to change the rent
level to maintain the financial integrity of the operating
proforma. Mike Mosley wants rents to be decreased to reflect the
decrease in gas costs.
Susan Sidel identified an error in the revised rent roll; Steve
Altieri will make the adjustment. The new number is $617 , 040.
