The Board of Trustees met on July 10, 2006, for a regular monthly meeting.
Treasurer Brian Pepper indicated that the value of the endowment increased by approximately $8,000 due to receipt of dividends and an increase in the net value of holdings.
The Board discussed a proposal by “Spooky Action Theatre” to fund improvements to Perkins Hall and other areas of the building in conjunction with related UNMC-funded improvements. Moderator Greg Wigle indicated that a meeting between the parties and UNMC’s architects would be scheduled to ensure that the proposal fits within the Church’s plan for future improvements. Potential upgrades include replacement of the current boiler system with a new HVAC system. The Board unanimously agreed that the parties must enter an agreement regarding the scope of work, responsibilities of the parties, and estimated costs before any renovation work takes place.
A new security system that tracks who has been using the church has been approved for installation in the coming months.
A new microphone for use from the pulpit will be purchased and the sexton will paint the pastor’s office prior to the arrival of Rev. Henley.
The Board authorized the purchase of a fire-proof box to protect the Church’s membership ledgers.
The Board offered thanks to Rev. Morgan for the year of dedicated service as our interim minister.
In attendance were Greg Wigle, Brian Pepper, David Burton, Liz Crawford, Lisa Harris, Al Templeton, Mark McNabb, and Rev. Jim Morgan. The Board is next scheduled to meet on August 7th at 7 p.m. All are welcome.
