BRP Committee Report
Rich presented a Summary Sheet of projects, and commented that he feels positive about the budget at this time. He highlighted remaining items that the Board will have to consider and determine priorities on. Rich listed some Major Pending items that the BRP wants to finish, and then cease to exist as an entity. Remaining items would become a Future Projects List for Board and congregation consideration.
Babette asked about an overall landscape design, and she was referred to the Grounds Committee.
