Congregational Meeting
Dec. 19, 2010
Facilitator: Pastor Guy Basso
Pastor Guy opened in prayer.
Ministry reports were distributed for individual review.
Confidential ballots were distributed for the membership to elect new Council members. The ballots included the following nominations:
Moderator: Tim Howard
Secretary: Annette Anderson
At large member: Blain Harris
At large member: Daniel Porter
All nominated individuals were confirmed by the membership vote.
Jim Cross provided copies of financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2010; Year to date November 30, 2010 and an updated budget for the church’s capital improvement activities.
The capital improvement budget has been updated after receiving more accurate numbers for foyer and fellowship hall improvements. Estimates for master planning and general contracting were eliminated because they are no longer needed. The estimated cost has decreased overall.
Questions were raised regarding the terms of our outstanding Citizen’s Bank loan and plans to incur further debt. So far, the Church has not incurred any additional debt for the repair and updating that has been completed. In the previous congregational meeting in January 2010, the initial budget for capital improvements had been approved with the understanding that it would likely mean incurring some debt.
Motion: a motion was made to hold another membership meeting in the near future to determine if debt should indeed be incurred for the facility updates. The motion did not pass.
Pastor Guy closed in prayer.
