Buildings and Ground Minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n

March 7, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

PRESENT: Ben Manning, Brian Bliske, Mary Beth McKee, Rick Pierre, Lou Zwicky, Sharon Doyle<\/p>\n

Ben opened the meeting at 4:20 pm<\/p>\n

Report from Church Council meeting, Tuesday February 21, 2023, presented by Mary Beth McKee<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Church Council members approved \u201cgo ahead\u201d for B&G to send their proposal to contract with Witzke Electric to change-over all 10 parking lot lights to LED at a cost of $3500 to the Business Management Team (BMT) in order for them to determine how and when the Church will be able to appropriate the necessary funds for the work.<\/p>\n

2) Church Council members voted to create a \u201cdesignated fund\u201d account, titled HVAC, and transfer $14,400 to that account.<\/p>\n

3) Church Treasurer, Tennille Peterson, requested that the B&G Team and all Church Teams create a list of future \u201cNeeds, Wants, and Dreams\u201d<\/strong> with the goal of creating a budget plan for the future needs of the Church.<\/p>\n

Discussion of the above:<\/p>\n

The B&G members present at the meeting and Jan Olson via email agreed that the following projects, currently in discussion, be on the list of Needs<\/strong>: 1) Parking Lot Lights, 2) Basement Furnaces and 3) Power Washing the Steeple. B&G will wait until the next meeting to discuss this in more detail when, hopefully, Brad Gasper the Church\u2019s general maintenance man will be in attendance.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As for Wants <\/strong>and Dreams<\/strong>, the attending members and Jan Olson, via email, agreed this will require further investigation and discussion to include the list of Buildings and Grounds Furnishings Inventory<\/em> – February 2023<\/em>, created by Jan Olson and the Capitol Equipment Inventory<\/em> that Kevin Franz has agreed to create.<\/p>\n

Prayer Garden Benches<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sharon Doyle contracted with Wausau Tile for 2 – 1800lb, dark gray, concrete benches for the Prayer Garden patio to be delivered in early May before the dedication ceremony on June 11, 2023. Sharon spoke with Brad Gasper to arrange for the actual placement of the benches on the patio when they are delivered by Wausau Tile. Funding for the benches came from the fund to create the Prayer Garden along with proceeds from Thrift and Gift.<\/p>\n

Garden Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sharon suggested we create a sub-committee for Garden Maintenance<\/em> as the new prayer garden will need \u201cextra\u201d attention until the plantings get well established. She will speak with Beverly Raatjes, who has been attending the gardens for many years, about organizing this group.<\/p>\n

Miscellaneous Discussions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sharon asked who cleans the church windows as they looked like they could use some attention.<\/p>\n

Rick Pierre asked if there was a date set to install the new entryway carpet and offered his assistance. Mary Beth reported that the project is on hold until John Abraham recovers his strength from having had a stroke.<\/p>\n

Ben Manning will take down the ornamental tree that is partially blocking the new sign sometime this spring\/summer and get some fill for holes in the lawn area.<\/p>\n

Sharon asked if there was interest in having some low maintenance flowers\/plants around the new sign. She will talk with Beverly about some ideas and present this at a later date.<\/p>\n

Ben asked about who was responsible for the maintenance of the Harbor Village sign by the road as it is looking quite shabby. There was discussion that Harbor Village owns the sign but the Church had possibly agreed to maintain it. Ben will investigate further. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Meeting adjourned at 5:00pm<\/p>\n

Next Meeting: April 4, 2023 at 4:00pm<\/p>\n

Building & Grounds Minutes \u2013 Oct. 8, 2019<\/p>

Present:\u00a0 Betts Nikolai, Daryl Ramlow, Lou Zwicky, Dave Smolinski, Tom Zillges, Kate Pfaendtner, Rick Pierre, Warren Winter, Brad Gasper, Jan Olson<\/p>

Kate opened meeting at 6:30 with a prayer and then introduced herself to the group.\u00a0 Rick is also new to the group and was welcomed.<\/p>

Building Security<\/u><\/strong>: \u00a0Jill has asked we address the security system.\u00a0 The Swipe Card system has not worked in some time.\u00a0 The group suggested the best way of getting an accurate listing of who all has keys, if that is the issue, is to ask that everyone turn theirs back in and then those who really need theirs, are re-issued the appropriate level.\u00a0 No conclusion<\/p>

Fiber Optic Cable<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 As requested last month by Pr Kevin.\u00a0 Brad will work with Daryl who is familiar with the issue.\u00a0 Dave S. also offered to help.<\/p>

East Door Replacement<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 We will ask Albright Construction to do the project as LaForce has not been responsive.\u00a0 Since, Brad had Steve from Albright here \u2013 they need to work with Block Iron.\u00a0 They will move forward and the project should be done by Thanksgiving. Since we had previously signed a contract with LaForce, Kate will send a letter informing them that due to their non-response re: getting this scheduled, we have determined we need to go with another company.<\/p>

Sanctuary Ceiling<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 While Steve from Albright was here, he looked at our Sanctuary Ceiling.\u00a0 He says it can be spray painted with a newer type paint, that will not add much weight.\u00a0 He will be sending a quote.\u00a0 The alternative is to purchase the appropriate paint, rent the lift, etc. and Ed will donate the labor to do it.\u00a0 We have no timeline.<\/p>

Deferred Maintenance and\/or Replacement<\/u><\/strong>: Kate is asking that various items be looked at by a Vendor for estimated longevity and a quote for the purpose of hopefully building an emergency fund so we can repair\/replace as needs occur or be proactive prior to having a crisis. The following will be looked at:<\/p>
