HOUSING AUTHORITY MEETING: November 15, 2016
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE FINANCIAL AND COMPLIANCE REPORT FOR WASHINGTON STREET
APARTMENTS FOR YEAR END JUNE 30, 2016
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Financial and Compliance Report for Washington Street Apartments for the
year ended June 30, 2016.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) requires the Housing Authority
(HA) to annually prepare and approve an financial audit (Attachment 1).
No reportable conditions of non-compliance or internal control deficiencies were
found.
FISCAL IMPACT – None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Washington Street Apartments is a 73-unit complex for very low and low-income senior
and disabled households. The USDA provides rent subsidies, and an annual audit is
required. Joyce Rethmeier, CPA prepared an audit and no reportable conditions of non-
compliance or internal control deficiencies were found
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, operating revenues were $629,783 and
expenses were $468,395, resulting in a net income of $161,388. Non-operating
expenditures (depreciation, amortization and asset fee) were $100,915, resulting in an
increase in net assets for the year of $60,473.
ALTERNATIVES
Staff has reviewed and verified the report and does not recommend an alternative.
