Mr. Peterson stated that although the revenues and expenses of Region Ten, Inc., have been reported and incorporated in the annual independent audit, a budget per se has never been adopted. Occasionally foundations request copies of the budget for grant applications, and that reason along with good practice would suggest that a budget should be adopted. Mr. Brown has prepared a budget for the current year that incorporates what we know about rental income and expenses, and projections have been made with regard to foundation and private donor support and project expenses. On a motion by Ms. Johnston, seconded by Ms. Gibson, the FY 2005 budget for Region Ten Services Board, Inc., was unanimously adopted. IV. Finnegan & Associates, Inc. Mr. Peterson presented a document that stated that the deadline for the extension of their Agreement for Professional Services would be October 1, 2004.

Finnegan & Associates, Inc. further agreed to reduce its incentive payment for the first $250,000.00 of new grant funding under this extension to 8% and then the regular payment schedule , Section VIII, Option A of the agreement will apply. Mr. Pezzoli reported that although an official from the Department of Housing and Urban Development had earlier said that the signature of the board chair on a Conflict of Interest statement would suffice, they have now indicated that a board resolution would be required. On a motion by Ms. Johnson and seconded by Ms. Bondy, it was unanimously voted to adopt the Department of Housing and Urban Development Conflict of Interest Resolution.
