1)    Opening devotion and prayer: Pastor David

2)    Staff Presentation: Brian Roshell and Sue Gumz

Heat tape has been taken off the sanctuary for unknown reasons.  This causes ice dams which has resulted in water leakage into the sanctuary.  Brian, Sue, Chuck, and Ernie Vogler met with several roof experts and identified several areas where heat tape might be of value.  The proposal was divided into four sections with a worst-case cost for each section.   

3)    Consent Agenda

A)    May minutes

B)    Pastoral Report

C)    Policy Review

Bruce stated that in the May minutes, there is a change in wording.  The second sentence should read “The agenda in May will be to present the Constitution and Bylaw changes.”

Bruce made a motion to remove the May minutes from the consent agenda due to the change.  Anne seconded the motion.  The remaining items on the consent agenda were approved. 

Anne made a motion to approve the May minutes with the change as noted above.  Seconded by Bruce.  Motion passed.

4)    Rental by St. Mark’s school

We have received additional communication from St Mark’s which further clarify the proposed rental agreement.   The tentative arrangement would be a one-year lease with an option to renew for a second year.  There are additional details to be discussed per David.  The lead team is in ongoing discussions with St. Mark’s.

5)    Annual Meeting

The Board reviewed the agenda for the annual meeting.

6)    Closing Prayer – Pastor Mark

Motion to adjourn made by Paul.  Seconded by Chuck. Motion approved.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:54 p.m.

Respectfully submitted, Dean Gumz
