Bruce Johnson called the meeting to order at 7:06 pm.
Minutes of the September 13 meetings were approved.
Mike presented the report highlighting several points. The construction loan will convert to an $827,000 mortgage in December. Pledged funds will arrive through June 2008 reducing the mortgage to $606,000. The pledge fulfillment rate for the first year was 82% rather then the 93% projected. The building finance committee is looking at this.
Mike reported on the endowment meeting and a 6.9% gain for the YTD noting that the S&P 500 is up 7% for the year. The board discussed how to use the endowment.
Ed questioned the accuracy of the treasurer’s report. A motion was made, seconded and passed to suspend the presentation of the finances.
Rich presented a list of non-budgeted items that will cost between $11,082 – $35,637. Rich said that progress is being made noting that the organ consol is in and the RE classrooms will all have heat by the weekend. Today Rich would like a decision on flooring in the new lobby and existing lobby up to the construction wall.
Sharon made a motion to put ceramic in the new lobby and vinyl in the existing lobby up to the construction wall. The motion was seconded discussed and passed.
Rowe is sticking to a finish date before thanksgiving. Access to the RE will improve as it can be done safely.
Bruce J reported that a new organist, Kris Haydal, will be hired and start Nov. 1. Dottie had discussed her at the last meeting but didn’t think she would be available till later. Kris is a 7th Day Adventist. She comes highly recommended by the Organist Guild.
Bruce C presented his report. He will give a 3-5 minute talk on the program “Meditations”. It airs on Saturdays between 4:30 and 5:00 AM.
Nancy presented her report.
The Pre-Canvass started on October 1 with positive results. The full-membership Canvass kick will begin October 22. Due to the building construction project, we will have a regular Social Hour that day (during which Canvass envelopes will be distributed), but not a Canvass Luncheon.
A motion was made to move the next Board meeting to November 15 to allow more time for the Canvass/Budget Committee. The motion was seconded and passed.
The congregational meeting is Nov. 19. Notice needs to be out by October 19.
The renovation dedication is scheduled for December 3.
The meeting adjourned a little after 8:00 PM
Mike Middleton, Secretary to the Board
