The formal TRUSTEE MEETING was opened with:

No Quorum present

Treasurers Report

The Church is solvent. No formal report was given, but Gerry says we are near plan.

Old Business:

Green update:

Jackie Seymour gave a report on the progress towards being a green church. Initial inspections have been good and we are well on the way to making the changes recommended. There was a discussion of the all the things needed to be achieved and most of them are achievable. Jackie has a report for those who are interested.

Bathroom Project:

Lou reviewed the current plan for the bathroom project. Jan Swayne gave some comments about the bathroom plan and asked whether a three bathroom arrangement would be better. Various methods were explored and the most feasible one was to build a walk on the far side of the building with stairs up to a new door. Because the space is limited this space would only accommodate a toilet or urinal and a small wash basin. There would need to be heat, a water resistant door and power in addition to fixtures and new drywall and paint. While no estimate was given it was thought to be expensive. Another alternate was to steal space from the storage closet, but again that space is needed for supplies. After reviewing the various options it was decided without a vote (no quorum) to use the present plan. At the moment no construction is planned. Lou showed a unit for the stalls for the women’s bathroom and is getting additional details.

Downstairs project

Larry Lopp reviewed the progress on the downstairs project and gave a tour. Most of the work will be done by Harvest Festival and the space can be used for the books. General opinion was it was very well done and should be very useable by all.

Harvest Festival

Jim Bowen indicated that progress was slow in getting volunteers, but we would make the event happen. The 30 foot tent was ordered and if everyone approved this may be the way to go in the future. This would eliminate the wood and reduce the time to erect the booths.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:00PM.
