Pam Schneeman called the meeting to order at 7:10 pm.
Minutes of the Dec. 11 Board meeting were approved with the following change. Under Community Outreach, “increased church attendance” is changed to “increased plate offering”.
Pam mentioned additional results from the canvass as reported to the congregation by Ollie Howe. With about 100 members to be heard from, the total pledged is $308,279 a 19% increase over last year. The 2003 budget is $316,479.
Bruce Clear submitted the Minister’s Report. It was felt that the 2nd Century presentation on January 5 was well received.
Nancy Clear submitted the Religious Education Report.
Tom reported on the office staff proposal passed last month. Wendy accepted the additional hours offered (total of 22 hours) while Connie declined. Connie will continue working for 15 hours per week. Wendy will cover the office for four days. Bruce and Nancy will be there on Tuesday. Tom stated that the Personnel Committee would not see volunteer office help as a permanent solution. Nancy believes that Wendy can handle her duties when given adequate lead-time for tasks with deadlines.
Pam proposed posting the minutes on the web site for easy access by interested Church members. The matter was discussed resulting in the following motion. After Board approval the minutes will be posted on the web site. “Posted on Web Site” will be incorporated into the Minutes Header. Annually the Board Members will be asked if they wish to be listed. The motion passed by a voice vote with two members opposed. Pam will also see to it that minutes will be available to the congregation in the building.
Office and Co-op security issues will be reviewed. Mike Boland reported that the furnace damper has been repaired.
The request for $995 for the Centennial Concert was reviewed. A motion was made to approve the expenditure of funds with the source of funds to be determined by the next meeting. The motion passed by a voice vote with one member opposed. Pam will contact Michael Davis.
John Mendonca raised the possibility of congregational members touring the old church. John M and Susan Vinicor will pursue this with the Council.
John Rempel asked for feedback on the January 5 presentation. It was thought that explaining the status of the program was beneficial and should be continued.
The meeting adjourned at 8:17
Mike Middleton, Secretary to the Board
