MEETING MINUTES 

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS MINISTRY

September 8, 2009

 Present were Bob Paul and Bill Brady. Excused were Charlie Yaryan, Austin Breck, and Ralph Miller.

 The meeting was opened with prayer

 Old Business:

• Electronic Sign: Design is believed to be complete except for perhaps one more experiment. Cost estimates and funding methods are to be completed by the end of October.
• Janitorial service while Michael is on vacation. Our after hours janitor, who takes care of prescribed tasks on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons, was prepped to do extra work in the Sanctuary and Children’s Garden. The arrangements will need review as the results were barely adequate. Better planning will be required in the future. Michael showed up unexpectedly on Sunday morning and saved the day as once again the backup plan was incomplete.
• The Children’s Garden inspection was passed.
• The idea of standing task forces with special skills and interests was again discussed. Projects would not be limited to work days. There are several members and friends that fit into this model now. Our plan is to expand these work groups.
• A small group was formed to assist one of our members get established in a more amenable living environment.  Admin. as well as Buildings and Grounds and other members of the congregation were involved in what was a very successful effort to love our neighbor.
• A new Grounds maintenance contract was awarded. Our irrigation system was badly in need of repairs and most of these are completed. Sprinkler Heads were replaced and adjusted with noticeable appearance improvements in the lawn and shrubbery, although much work remains to be done,

New Business:

• An agreement was made to transfer the function of vans maintenance from the Administration ministry to the Buildings and Grounds Ministry. A maintenance schedule will be prepared.

• We are working on minor modifications in the choir room to make it more functional. Jon Daniels did some excellent cabinet work on this project. Still needed is proper mounting of white board. A small message board was also installed.
• Cork strips for mounting charts and posters in the Children’s Garden class rooms will be installed during October.
• Repair of the fence section on the east side of the quadrangle where it was removed to replace the water main

 The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday Oct 13, 2009.

 The meeting was adjourned 7:45 PM. and was closed in prayer.
