Buildings and Grounds Committee Meeting Minutes

Tuesday, November 13, 2012

Members present: Jerry Grandle, Janet Loman, Dennis Thomas, Bruce Pearson, and Eddie Armendariz

Member absent: Roger Sellers

Bruce opened the meeting with prayer at 7:05 pm.

The 2013 budget was discussed. Due to the nature of the B&G expenses, the committee decided that it is difficult, even impossible to pare the budget by 10%. As Jerry noted, it would be difficult to worship and have other church activities in our coats and in the dark.

A master schedule of the use of our church buildings was studied so that we could develop a more efficient cleaning plan for Eddie and Marc. The committee reviewed daily worksheets and discussed better ways to communicate with Marc while he is off campus.

In order to more accurately reflect Marc’s responsibilities, Jerry recommended that we change Marc’s title from Church Handy Man to Church Handy Man/Custodian. The committee agreed.

The committee also looked at room consolidation strategies in order to save cleaning labor and electricity.

The committee agreed to recommend a COLA raise for employees to the Administration Committee.

Bruce agreed to submit an article, asking the church members to conserve energy by turning out lights and leaving outside doors closed.

The meeting adjourned at 8:50 pm.
