Meeting – 27 October 2009
Our October meeting was basically a status report and review of the survey responses to date. we also discussed a congregation forum to get input from those who had not found another way of providing input. The proposed forum date was subsequently canceled to avoid unfounded confusion of a possible building program commencing during a time of deficit finances. We will search for better timing and will at least make a presentation at the 2010 Congregation Meeting in February 2010. Tom had received a bid for the Capital reserve Study for $12,000. So we won’t be doing that! We also briefly discussed the results of PoP’s poorly publicized Long Range Plan. Neil volunteered to send a copy of it to all Building Committee members (done 11Nov09). We also discussed the use of Building Fund money to construct the BYC. All agreed that this was a valid Building Fund expenditure that did not require any paybacks as future budget line items. This will be brought to the Church Council and the Congregation, if necessary, to settle what is an issue in some people’s mind.
