A quick update that the personnel committee met on the 21st to review some changes to our personnel policy. There is a resolution on the agenda today……

We had two move ins at Kingsboro,  two at FHT and one at Dubois for the month of November. …

Occupancy is at 83%, we three tenants pass away and two evictions…..

I did a little research with our troubled status, and we’re in the trouble since until our PHAS scores are released in June….

So we have a good six months to really bust out the move ins….

That kind of leads into my next section with my goal of 2025 is to hit the 95%. I am asking for board approval for a performance stipend for the past year – with my maintenance they just about did everything I’ve asked and have just been awesome. I mean, I don’t know what else to say. The have been great. The sites have improved tremendously. Our turn arounds are speeding up. And the same with tenant relations assistants with the move ins and keeping up on the move outs. They just have been really good, so I’m asking for resolution for that as well……

And we have some surplus machinery that is not being used – we have a Deere old tractor and a mower, and I am looking for an approval on that as well …And then our painting project is starting at Kingsboro, we’re going to push that off until January, but they are going to do the main floor in the office area next week. …

We don’t have to undecorate doors and all that good stuff. So after that’s done, then we move on to Forest Hill. Once I can pick out a floor color, so that’ll take me some time. …
