Old business:
Ø NS Sanctuary cupola windows were repaired on April
14-15. Facilitating this project were Boldt, Architectural Roof Lines and Pella
Windows. Boldt supplied the crane and crane operator; Scott Bastian, from ARL,
caulked and riveted copper flashing; Pella Windows sealed the perimeter of each
window glass. We have had several hard rains and high winds; there are no
noticeable leaks at this time. Costs to do this repair: Boldt, $4,533.30; ARL, $651.10;
Pella Windows, $468.00. Total: $5,652.40
Ø NS sewer and water installation update: Walt is working on
this.
Ø Jack’s Maintenance ended their cleaning service at the
DS as of May 2, 2008. Paul Barth started his full-time position at the DS, as
DS maintenance coordinator on May 1, 2008.
Ø Jack’s Lawn and Landscape completed the
spring cleanup at both locations on April 22-23. Jack’s Lawn Service will
continue to do the lawn work at the North Site; Paul will take care of the yard
work at the DS.
Ø Garage: Contact has been made with
Ø Maintenance contracts: Following our last
meeting, it was proposed that Central Temp maintenance contracts be rewritten
by Bill Hoffman, Central Temp manager, to include 2 maintenance checks per
year, spring and fall, instead of quarterly checks. Paul will take care of
changing belts and filters at the NS and doing any other general maintenance of
equipment. The revised DS contract will also be for 2 checks per year.
Ø NS windows: Pro-Clean Windows washed all the windows
at the NS on April 18 and 22.
Ø Banners: The first three seasonal banners, which
were donated by Kathy Wiebel, have been hung on the new banner stands, made by
Jeff Picken, in the NS sanctuary. Thank you to Kathy and Jeff for their
willingness to share their time and talents.
New business:
Ø The committee
reviewed and discussed the Appleton Refuse Container and Enclosure standards. To
meet Appleton regulations the NS will need to have an enclosure for the
dumpsters. One bid was received from Mi T Fence with 3 different options. The
pad, which will need to be laid before the enclosure is erected, will not
happen until repair work on the driveway is done when the sewer and water lines
get put in. The enclosure project will be tabled until that time.
Ø Thank you to Art
Fochs, for creating a shelf and rod for bridal parties to hang their dresses on
at the NS.
Ø Several requests
for additional handicapped parking at the DS have been received. Harold Gensler
is checking into the City of Appleton’s requirements and guidelines for handicapped
parking. The committee will act on this as soon as we have guidelines.
Ø The committee
discussed a request from Fred Hoeppner.
Ø The committee
discussed the list of suggestions forwarded from the Communications Team. Addition
of motion lights will be evaluated as rooms or areas are renovated. Motion
lights are not beneficial in all areas. Automatic flushers are not a priority at
this time with so many other major repairs that need to be made. The NS lawn is
a big project and would need many volunteers on a continuous basis. If someone
has interest in doing this project, please contact the church office. There are
recycling bins and containers located at both sites.
** The committee discussed and agreed to
not meet during the summer months. Communication concerning property issues
should be directed to Jenell. Jenell will write monthly updates throughout the
summer. Special meetings will be called if a need arises.
Next meeting: 6 p.m., Monday, Sept.
15, North Site
