received a quote from Oshkosh Heating &amp; Air to replace the F6 unit.\u00a0 There is no sense of urgency to replace this unit at this time as it is not the heating season.\u00a0 The quote was forwarded to Council for approval\/discussion.\u00a0 Council has requested a minimum of two (2) quotes from commercial HVAC vendors.\u00a0 Additionally, the contractors have been asked to submit a 5-year plan for the HVAC systems as they reach the end of their design life.\u00a0 Kate contacted Oshkosh Heating &amp; Air as well as GRP Mechanical, Omro and are waiting on their

will resume meeting in September 2020.\u00a0 Pastor Kevin asked Jan if the golf outing will still happen.\u00a0 Jan said that the date is tentatively set for August 23, 2020.\u00a0 There were some volunteers from St. Mary\u2019s that said they were willing to take over the golf outing.\u00a0 She will check to see if that is still the plan.\u00a0 In the meantime, Jill can put \u201cTBD\u201d in the newsletter\/bulletin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Kevin also noted that the fall fundraiser was on the books for this year.\u00a0 He recommends putting it off until next year.\u00a0 Council members all agreed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The community back-to-school fair will be held on August 11-13.\u00a0 This is where backpacks with supplies will be handed out.\u00a0 The LOL building will be used for distribution.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>We Care:\u00a0 <\/strong>Jeff asked if Drew Jaeger can find out what mental health resources are available or what will be available.\u00a0 Pastor Kevin is meeting with the group and will find out more.\u00a0 Sarah was going to check into what NAMI has available as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Social Media:\u00a0 <\/strong>Sarah said that there are 274 followers on Facebook.\u00a0 YouTube views are down to approximately 30something (since parking lot services began).\u00a0 Keep sending Sarah information to be posted!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Treasurer Report:\u00a0 <\/strong>YTD surplus is $4865.\u00a0\u00a0 PPP loan amount is included in that number.\u00a0 Wayne said that he asked Gail if we are drawing down the loan.\u00a0 Jeff said that the way it works is 1) the loan is given, 2)\u00a0 LOL incurs expenses, 3) LOL reports where we used the money.\u00a0 We can use the money for payroll, healthcare, etc.\u00a0 We don\u2019t need to line items.\u00a0 We just need to prove where we spent it.\u00a0 After 24 weeks, the determination will be made as to how much of the amount will be forgiven, and we would have to pay back the remaining amount.\u00a0 It is possible that the entire loan amount could be forgiven.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Kevin stated that he is incredibly thankful that we\u2019re in the situation that we\u2019re in.\u00a0 He was not expecting a surplus at this time during this situation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jan added that it looked like some of the staff had hours cut.\u00a0 Pastor Kevin said that they were trying to keep people where they were, but there were some cuts.\u00a0 However, those cuts have not been significant.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kristen Bjornstad made a motion to approve the treasurer\u2019s report.\u00a0 Jan Olson seconded.\u00a0 Approved.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stewardship:\u00a0 <\/strong>Wayne said that LOL has not paid [the ELCA] anything for the stewardship campaign yet.\u00a0 We still need to determine how much we need to pay.\u00a0 Wayne provided a handout detailing the type of giving per week.\u00a0 Council decided that we should look at a monthly report due to the different giving schedules that members have set up.\u00a0 Wayne and Gail are working on determining when\/how much we should pay.\u00a0 Jeff suggested that we just set an amount and pay it.\u00a0 Pastor confirmed with Wayne that the amount of payment was supposed to be 10% of the increased giving.\u00a0 Wayne added that the second stewardship program will be starting soon, so we\u2019ll need to sign up.\u00a0 Jeff suggested a $2500.00 payout.\u00a0 Council decided to table this until the next meeting and Wayne will verify what the actual increase has been.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>OLD
