Administration Ministry Team
Minutes for
meeting of December 14, 2010
·
Discussion
of networking church computers:
Michelle del Rio’s computer will be replaced and upgraded tomorrow and will
have a second hard drive to assist with file back up. In the next
budget year, the Admin Team would like to also like to budget to acquire a
file sharing machine. The Foundation has generously agreed to
help fund this purchase of Michelle’s computer.
·
Cost
savings proposals on church insurance:
No progress to report
·
Getting a
church credit card:
Last month a Corporate Authorization Resolution was recommended to Session
by the Admin Team which would allow a credit card to be issued to church
staff. Based on feedback from the credit card company, a revised
Corporate Authorization Resolution has to be recommended to session this
month due to an error on the original form that failed to designate who in
the church was authorized to borrow money. The revised resolution
authorizes Pastor Story and Joan Rawson to have that authority.
ITEM FOR SESSION: Mel moved to recommend the revised Corporate
Authorization Resolution to Session for approval; Joan seconded; and the
motion passed unanimously.
·
Stewardship
campaign and 2011 Budget process:
To date the church has received 103 pledges totaling $321,277.
The number of pledges is currently down from last year and Carl will be
submitting an update to the Good News informing the congregation where we
stand with a plea to those who are considering a pledge to get them
submitted soon. Based on this year’s experience, annual giving exceeds
pledges by about 23%, which based on the 103 pledges comes to $395,781--
about $4000 less than we spent through November of 2010. Next week
Carl will meet with the other team moderators to further discuss what the
2011 budget will support. There are some salary issues that have not
been adequately addressed and will have a bearing on this discussion as
well. Carl provided current salary information to Admin Team members a
requested feedback on these salary issues.

and seconded by Mel to pay off the Phase 1 Notes by the end of 2010 with
cash on hand in the amount of $50,541.92. The motion passed
unanimously.
