·        Old business:

Ø      Corcoran Glass invoice for the DS safety rail project was paid. John N. picked up the posts and hardware which will be stored at the DS in the elevator equipment room, until this project moves forward again.

Ø      Arrangements have made and coordinated that on Monday, April 14, Boldt will supply a 120-ft. crane and crane operator at $200/hr. for the crane and hourly wage of operator; Scott Bastein of ARL will do the necessary copper flashing repair and inspection; Pella window will be resealing the perimeter of each window in the NS sanctuary cupola.

Ø      Update on NS sewer and water installation: Walt will revisit this issue.

Ø      Paul Barth has accepted the position for the Downtown Site building maintenance. He will begin on May 1, 2008.

Ø      Brenda will work with Jack’s Maintenance to finalize the needs for their services.

Ø      Jack’s Lawn and Garden will be contracted to do spring cleanup at both sights and will continue to mow the lawn at the NS this summer. Paul will maintain the DS.

Ø      The committee discussed the Durkee Street rental property concerning use of the garage for FELC equipment and worship in the park supplies. Walt will meet with John Dougherty to discuss the removal of his personal belongings from the garage and John Notebaart will contact Steve Golz to discuss repairs and security of the garage to safely and efficiently house FELC equipment.

New business

Ø      Central Temp yearly maintenance contracts are up for renewal. Brenda, Paul and Jenell will review contracts and have Bill Hoffman rewrite the contracts to adapt to Paul’s position as maintenance person. 

Ø      Jenell will contact Pastor Quello to get more information about the blue silk material that was removed from the NS sanctuary due to fire code. (Was it donated? If so, by whom? Other uses of this material?)

Ø      Pastor Dave wanted to inform the property committee that 4’x 9’ banners have been donated to the NS. Someone on the worship committee has volunteered to make stands for them and they will be placed at the front of the sanctuary against the pillars between the windows.

Ø      Two contracts were signed, April 10, with ARL to repair the leak in the roof by Anita’s office and repair the roof in the small courtyard which has been leaking into the boiler room. The cost of these two repairs is equivalent to the cost of the yearly maintenance contract for both buildings which was due for renewal. The yearly maintenance contract will not be renewed this year. We will revisit the need for this contract during the preparation of the 2009 budget.

Next meeting: 6 p.m., Monday, May 5 at the North Site
