e) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, the prior approval of the OWNER will be
required for any expenditure which exceeds $_________________________________ in any
one instance for labor, materials, or otherwise in connection with the maintenance and repair of
the PROJECT, except for recurring repairs involving manifest danger to persons or property, or
required to avoid suspension of any necessary service. In latter event, the AGENT will notify the
OWNER of the fact as promptly as possible.
f) The AGENT shall take such action as may be necessary to comply promptly with any and all
statutes, ordinances, regulations, orders or other requirements affecting the PROJECT, whether
imposed by Federal, State, or local authority; provided, however, that the
AGENT shall not take such action so long as the OWNER is consenting, or has affirmed its
intention to contest, the same. Each party shall promptly notify the other in writing of all notices
of government requirements received by that party.
13. Utilities and Services: In accordance with the Management Plan, the AGENT will make
arrangements for water, electricity, gas, fuel oil, sewage and trash disposal, vermin extermination,
decorating, laundry facilities, and telephone service. Subject to the OWNER'S prior approval, the
AGENT will make such contracts as may be necessary to secure such utilities and services.
14. Employees: Exhibit "B" of the AGREEMENT prescribes the number, qualifications and duties of the
personnel to be regularly employed in the management of the PROJECT, including a Resident
Manager (if applicable), Social Services Director (if applicable), and maintenance, bookkeeping,
clerical, and other managerial personnel. All such personnel shall be the employees of the AGENT
and not the OWNER, and will be hired, paid, supervised,
and discharged by the AGENT.
a) The OWNER will reimburse the AGENT for compensation including fringe benefits payable to
the maintenance employees and managerial personnel (except supervisory staff, i.e., occupancy
maintenance and regional supervisors) who perform front line management tasks, as prescribed
in the Management Plan, and for all Federal, State, and local taxes and assessments (including
workmen's compensation, etc.) incident to the employment of such personnel. Such
reimbursements, subject to the OWNER'S approval, will be paid out of the Project Operations
Account and will be treated as project expenses. The rental value of any dwelling unit furnished
rent-free to the Resident Manager or Superintendent will not be considered a part of his/her
compensation, but will instead be treated as a cost borne by the OWNER. For the purpose of
this section, costs associated with front line management tasks are chargeable to the Project
Operations Account regardless of whether the staff works out of the AGENT'S office or at the
PROJECT site. Front line tasks include, but are not limited to, taking applications, screening
applicants, certifying and recertifying tenants, maintaining the project and positive control over
project income and expenses.
