MINUTES OF MEETING

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS TEAM MINISTRY

NOVEMBER 9, 2010

·        The Meeting was opened in prayer at 7:50 PM.

·        Members present were: Charlie Yaryan, Bill Brady, Jerry Grandle, Bob Paul (Mbr. at Large). Members Excused were: Austin Breck, Ralph Miller, and Deborah Austin.

Old Business;

·        Trunk or treat: The Washer Throw was well received. All participants won candy.

·        Old Garage door, west, opener, needs repair. Jerry will take care of it.

·        Trash accumulated east of old garage. Lon Anderson will oversee a Boy Scout detail for a cleanup.

·        Jerry noted that planning and procurement and installation of bus garage door hardware are on schedule for completion by year’s end.

·        Maintenance Manual project has fallen behind our original expectations. Charlie vowed to come out of retirement and help rejuvenate the effort. Others will support.

·        Sanctuary refurbishment. Buildings and Grounds is awaiting crystallization of requirements to be expected by early next year.  

New Business:

·        The committee recognized the upcoming need to plan for more hours for Randy Calkins. Planning in this area is proceeding. It was decided that we also need to look at Michael’s options as we plan for future custodial support.  No actions were taken.

·        The committee decided to bridge the occasional gap in janitorial service in Children’s Garden classrooms that we use for our children’s Sunday school. The Children’s Garden janitors seem to need help to get their service up to the standards that we require when the class rooms are turned over to us on Friday evening. Members of the Buildings and Grounds team will inspect before Sunday School and clean as needed while we look for a more permanent solution.

Jerry Grandle offered a closing prayer.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 PM.
