PROPERTY & MAINTENCE COMMITTEE

Chair:              Alan Smith

Members:      Bob Bruhn, Cliff Savage, Diane Hauf, Roger Lundquist

The Property Committee meets the first Tuesday of each month.

Our activities include:  equipment maintenance, Church grounds and structure upkeep, replacement of lights, scheduling of work days, Church equipment inventory, and generally keep the church looking good.

The committee also oversees the job of custodian.  We have a monthly report at the Church Council meeting on the 3^rd Tuesday of each month.

This years’ largest accomplishment was the retro fitting of the Church lights inside and out to be more energy saving.  AMBAG helped us through the process.  Also a water backflow preventer was installed to keep up with regulations the city has required.  We cut back on some expenses by negotiating with our lawn maintenance company.

This coming year our focus is cutting down excess trees around the building; painting some exterior walls, fixing fences, and setting up a “replacement fund” for kitchen items (dishes, silverware, glasses, etc.) so we can accommodate our maximum capacity in the fellowship hall with needed utensils.
