RESOLUTION : AUTHORIZING CHANGE IN REGION TEN COMMUNITY SERVICES BOARD FISCAL AGENT Mr. Brown explained that a recent change in State law allows Community Services Boards to act as their own fiscal agent. He said approval must be granted by member jurisdictions. He said Albemarle County has been acting as the fiscal agent for Region Ten. Mr. Caravati asked what is Region Ten, Inc. and where does its funding come from. Mr. Caruso Brown, Finance Director for Region Ten, said Region Ten, Inc. is a private, non-profit corporation, which primarily holds real estate. He said it has the same Board of Directors as Region Ten and funding comes from rental property. Mr. Caravati expressed concern about the $6 million cost of Mountain Wood. Mr. Caruso Brown said the residential and commercial rents are more than sufficient to pay the mortgage. He said rent paid by Region Ten is the same or less than before. Mr. Brown said that 52% of Region Ten’s budget comes from Medicaid fees. Responding to further questions from Mr. Caravati, Mr. Caruso Brown said that Region Ten, Inc. and Region Ten Community Services Board are audited in a single audit. He said Region Ten has secured a property management agency.
