unclear. The minutes have been revised to the following:
FY 17 Budgets-Jenna Milne
Jenna presented the FY17 budgets. The State budget guidelines for FY17 allow a
3% Allowable Non-Utility Expense Level (ANUEL) increase for administrative
staff. The Executive Director salary for FY17 is budgeted at $85,000.00. This
includes the 3% ANUEL increase from the State. Other funds in addition to the
3% will come from the federal program and other programs within the Lexington
Housing Authority portfolio.

C.R. L. Barnard contract revision
The contractor submitted the amendment to the Countryside Village snow
plowing contract with a 42% increase. As discussed last meeting, the contractor
confused which site was under contract even after phone calls and meetings with
Caileen.
The Board discussed options and decided to table until the next Board meeting.
D.Maternity leave
Caileen provided the Board with a tentative scheduled based on her March due
date. She will be out for 12 weeks. During this time, she will be available for calls
and office visits. After that period, she will be in the office on Monday,
Wednesday and Fridays. Beginning September 5th, she will assume her regular
schedule.
The staff is very supportive and will continue to be a high performing agency.
E.Board State appointee update
The State Boards & Commissions is still reviewing applications and hasn’t had an
opportunity to go before the Governor. Bob is still a full voting member unless he
hears otherwise. Weidong, Robert and Richard have pulled papers for the
upcoming election this March.

The hate crime committed in Lexington involved one of our federal scattered site
families. It is a police matter and is an ongoing investigation.
