Travis County Commissioners Court
September 16, 2008
Travis County Health Facilities Development Corporation
Now let's call to order the Travis County health facilities development corporation. First item consider and take appropriate action on request to approve budget for fiscal year 2009.
>> and for the health facilities corporation, the annual fee, the main source of income is 9th payment by season. It includes the commitment to meals on wheels, family elder care. I have also added $100,000 on to southwest key. If you recall the Commissioners court approved the funding of $100,000 for southwest key so since that's a capital project, it would need to be funded through one of the corporations, and so I'm recommending that there are be done through the health facilities corporation.
>> and since our friend on the Commissioners court have always made wise decisions that this board has routinely followed.
>> that's right, they have.
>> and this is the -- not the second $100,000 that was requested, just the first.
>> yes, that's right. And we had several discussion with our attorney as far as that this can be funded through the health corporation, and he's given the okay that there are would be appropriate to use that for this project. So if you approve this budget, you are approving the funding of southwest key.
>> we have two representatives here from southwest key.
>> they are here if you have any questions from them.
>> move approval.
>> aren't the amounts of meals and wheels and family elder care, I mean weren't they one and a quarter each? I mean is 2009 a 250 commitment? Out of the fund for those two?
>> well, meals on wheels which I explained because we had the contract, it was -- and that was one of the changes I made in this revised budget that I've put it as a -- the total 250 is an expense and not 125 in reserve. But it was to be paid in f.y. '08 and '09.
>> we took the 250 in two years.
>> right. And same for family elder care, it's just that they haven't met the hurdle to be approved for funding.
>> okay.
>> southwest key, we delivered the other -- there was another commitment.
>> there was a commitment a couple years ago through the housing finance corporation. That has been funded.
>> okay.
>> that has been funded.
>> okay.
>> so we will be coming back on southwest key with an additional contract and asking you to approve and then funding that amount.
>> any more discussion? Questions? Good to see you all again. All in favor? Show Commissioners eckhardt, Gomez, Daugherty, yours truly voting in favor. Mr. Davis abstaining.
>>
>> [inaudible] so we need to abstain on that.
>> mr. Davis, are we ready for number 3?
>> yes.
>> consider and take appropriate action on request to approve minutes of board of directors meeting of July 29 and August 26, 2008.
>> move approval.
>> second.
>> and on this one I did give the board a corrected minutes for August 26 because the -- on that date Commissioner eckhardt was in attendance but we said that she was absent and Commissioner -- I'm sorry, director Daugherty was absent and we said he was in attendance.
>> it's because we look so much alike.
>> and we think alike.
>> [laughter]
>> all in favor? That passes by unanimous vote.
>> move adjourn.
>> second.
>> sir --
>> yes, sir.
>> you didn't take up number 2. We didn't do number 2.
>> sorry about that. Number 2, consider and take appropriate action on contract with meals on wheels and more for previously approved contribution of $250,000 to support building expansion.
>> 250.
>> what did I say?
>> 450.
>> move approval.
>> second.
>> when we approved the budget, we didn't -- this just does that expressly.
>> well, this is the agreement that we're asking you to approve that you -- you approved the funding in April. This is the agreement. And if it looks on exhibit a is the timing of the funding, which would be -- we would expect by November 31st that half of it would be funded and that's when their site work construction is completed and then in June of '09 the second half would be funded, and that's when the final punch list is completed. So those would be the events that would cause funding.
>> what is the source of funding on this?
>> the source of funding is the seton annual fee.
>> okay, I'm going to have to abstain again.
>> all in favor? Show directors Gomez, eckhardt, Daugherty and yours truly voting in favor and director Davis abstaining. Now there's a motion to adjourn.
