Finding Reference: 2021-002 Compliance with Reporting to Housing and Urban Development Description: The financial information submission was not submitted timely. Recommendation: The Town should follow federal guidelines by submitting the audited financial statement to HUD through the REAC submission in a timely manner. Corrective Action: The Town of Guilderland Comptroller’s Office suffered significant turnover in key positions during the fiscal years of 2019 and 2021 including the retirement of the Town Comptroller and Fiscal Officer. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic had significant impact to the Town, particularly during 2020 when remote work was encouraged. This combination and sequence of events made it impossible to meet the required external audit reporting deadlines. Since these events, the Town has filed the vacant positions and has scheduled all remaining audits. The auditors are working as expeditiously as possible to complete the remaining audits. The Town receives an accepted audited REAC submission from HUD each year and has been submitting timely since 2022. Once the audited financial statements are caught up, they will be included in the REAC submission timely. Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Darci Efaw, Comptroller & Jessica Gulliksen, Fiscal Officer Anticipated Completion Date for Corrective Action: The remaining audits that are left to become fully in compliance have been tentatively scheduled with the external auditors since 2022. The Town of Guilderland works as efficiently as possible with the auditors to complete these remaining audits.

2021-007 - Special Tests and Provisions - Material Weakness Recommendation: Management should review the project budget to determine if nonessential costs can be cut or request a loan from the sponsor to ensure that the replacement reserve is funded in accordance with the terms of the regulatory agreement. Action Taken: The Managing Agent undertook an agency wide cost reduction beginning in March 2024, reducing project indirect costs by approximately 10-15%. Project direct costs cannot be reduced much further with most required services already being provided by city departments, and designated utility providers. The project has not had a budget increase since 2013, and while the project has a healthy replacement reserve balance in excess of $135k the project operating budget deficit is currently unable to fund those reserves without jeopardizing essential health and safety services. Management has sought and received multiple sponsor loans to address these shortfalls. The Management agent is presently prepared to submit for a required budget increase immediately following completion of all outstanding audits as required to secure the necessary rent increase.

Action Taken: Historically, Uniform Guidance Data Collection Form submissions were scheduled by the sponsor.

2021-002 - Allowable Costs/Cost Principles - Material Weakness Recommendation: We recommend that HES develop and implement procedures and controls to ensure management fee payment amounts are in accordance with the management agreement, and we recommend that funds be immediately returned to HES from the management agent. Action Taken: This finding resulted from a single mischaracterized sponsor contribution, followed by the subsequent departure of competent accounting staff who could have corrected the issue. Corrective action was taken beginning in fiscal year 2022 when this issue was identified by competent accounting staff during which intercompany balances were reconciled and have been balanced routinely in subsequent fiscal years. The sponsor and management agent are in the process of developing a repayment plan.
