Bruce Johnson called the meeting to order at 7:02 pm.
Minutes of the April 11 Board meeting were approved after the following addition. The construction loan was converted to a mortgage on March 22. The mortgage is for $843,651.63 with $6,293.69 monthly payments due for 20 years. Mike distributed cash flow projections current to February 07. The worst-case pledge fulfillment number is 82%.
Bruce J is going to talk about the accounting problems at the congregational meeting on May 20. While there are many errors there is no evidence of improprieties. It is planned that corrections will be done on June 30. Then the audit committee will do its work and statements for 2007 pledges and capital campaign pledge will be mailed out. There is no plan to issue 2006 statements unless you have a special request for one.
Monthly financial statements for the Board will be postponed till September.
Rich discussed the BRP statues. The final payment to MD Rowe has been made. The Organ will be cleaned May 21-23. Rich has a two-page task list. The big items include caulking and finishing the exterior, roof repair on the north sanctuary, drywall on the low ceilings in the sanctuary and replacing windows to the sides of the pulpit.
Rich was asked to grade MD Rowe. Rich gave them a B- or C+. John said he would not use them again. Rich believes that having a builders advocate was a good idea that saved us around $60,000.
