 Property Committee Meeting

MAY 8, 2013 PROPERTY MINUTES

Attendance: Present--John Lopata, Dave Koch, Ted Smith and Ken Miller. Also in attendance were Darin Kemmerer and Pastor Allen

Invited guests in attendance were members of BOCE, Quilters, Family Promise, Missions and Food Pantry

Meeting started with a devotion and then a discussion with the groups for suggestions on how to use the first floor of Derr Hall.

---Quilters need a room with at least a 10 foot ceiling

---BOCE needs a room with outside windows and the doors need windows and also a crib room would need a sink with running water and drain.

---Family Promise needs bedrooms and recreation area for the guests. Suggested that The second floor could accommodate this once the elevator project is complete.

---Food pantry needs a room just as big if not bigger than what it already has, it needs to be serviced for the freezers and AC.

Jim Whitehead will be looking at the parsonage chimney and giving us a quote to finally get it fixed.

Darin informed property that the water heater has finally died (the new of the two). Property voted to have the two old heaters replaced with one new 80 gallon unit as soon as possible. The remaining working heater is over 13 years old.

The floor outside of the confirmation room and the gym ramp will be finished in June.

Goldberg plumbing will be contacted to get an estimate on rough plumbing for restrooms in Derr Hall and to change the water and drain pipes to the restroom and gym kitchen.

Darin is trying to get Reigle Plumbing to come and fix the thermostat and wiring in the gym.

Mr. Ziegenfuss has been contacted by email to see if he could make a radiator cover for in the foyer of Derr Hall. Ken L. will said he will try to contact him again on the matter.

Discussions were held once again on trying to fix the sanctuary lights. Darin is calling around to get bids. The hope is to keep the cost below $10,000

Under FaithLift---The inspection of the elevator should wind up this week.

Property approved tubular railing for the new stairs.

It was also pointed out that after the office moves to DERR HALL that all doors except for the two main ones for Derr Hall will be re-keyed so that only the Derr Hall entrance can be accessed by any one with a key.

Also the committee will be looking into accent lighting for outside of Derr Hall along the walkway.
