Monthly Maintenance:

- Grease Pit inspection to be done in Sept. This will be done 10/16 – 10/17 when SBS installs new Hot Water Heater.
- Fire Sprinkler System check. Took place on Wednesday, September 13th. Drain that was plugged was taken care of at no Charge.

HVAC:
Terry is still working on documentation for this new ProLon System.
- Thursday AM 10/04 Terry K. was here and found that two of the furnaces were not operating. He called ProLon and tried to trouble shoot over the phone. Warren and Daryl were called in. Daryl started testing circuits & found that two of the controllers were bad. They were an older version of the other four controllers that were put in. Terry ordered 2 new ones. Daryl found that they were running at 27.7 volts and they were supposed to be running at 24. (Not under warranty). Daryl did adjust all the controllers to 24 volts. At this point we are just waiting for controllers to come in and then Daryl will install.

Old Business:
- Talked with Courtney regarding garden area and Volley Ball Court. She was going to check to see if there was an interest. Garden area was cleaned out, not sure who did that, possibly Boy Scouts. She did update me in an e-mail and said there was interest in Volley Ball Court and they will clean that area out next Spring. I did let her know that it was sprayed with weed killer and if they had time this fall yet to pull the weeds.
- Tom did talk to guys about fall fertilizing & spraying lawn. They were going Check and see if it needed to be done and get in touch with office.

- Rusty door frame on East side of Pastor did talk to Tim regarding wet wall and floor. We have had this problem in the past. Warren feels it happens when we get a hard rain & east wind that it comes in under door. Tim did check in to replacing frame. He said structurally it is fine. He feels we could buy a repair kit and replace bottom, and take care of the problem that way. He thought the kit was around $80.00.
