Um any board discussion.

Go ahead, Mr.

Jackson.

And good evening, Commissioners.

Um just to add some context to this agenda item for the uh review and approval.

We do have the September 2025 uh section eight and low rent financial reports.

Um as a note, uh we are dealing with uh some scheduling issues with the end of the year work that 76 is doing uh for us to ensure the timely submission of our unaudited financial statements to HUD for the previous fiscal year, uh no later than December the 15th.

Um that work plus issues that we've been experiencing with our happy software provider, uh, as well as the loss of a staffer on the 76th strategy side has slowed down our financial reporting uh creation and we will uh venture to have October's Section 8 and Low Rent Reporting for our December meeting, but we can't guarantee that as the meeting is on the 16th uh to uh that the schedule was made to uh avoid the the these any scheduling issues with the Christmas holiday.

Uh we do have our November 2025 bank statements included for your review on page 87 in this packet, and we do anticipate being fully up to date with financial reporting through December come our January 26th meeting.

Um, I would also like to formally welcome our new finance director to the board, Mr.

Arthur Allen.

Uh Mr.

Allen has previously worked with our agency as our receivables accountant and is now on with us full time uh beginning in the month of January.

He will begin providing uh the full financial report out similar to what Mr.

Rogers did a couple of meetings ago uh based on the reports that we will be uh working with 76 strategies to produce.
