Old Business: 
·         2016 Budget Proposal - Finance Committee will have proposed budget next week. 
·         Elevator Repair Bill - Bobby and Gary had follow up efforts to address exorbitant bill.  We were told that rates are published, but we have no records.  Gary spoke to company again and got bill reduced in half from $542.02 to $271.01.  Paul Vance will handle our annual end-of-year inspection.
·         Air Conditioning/Furnace - Session approved the purchase of two portable infrared heaters with timers, one for the upstairs Sunday School room and one for the A/V loft.  Bobby has ordered two online for approximately $280.  They are quiet, cool to the touch, and safe. 
·         Roof Leaks - Paul Vance reported that we have recently had only one leak with the recent heavy rains, and it was in the computer room.  Sally reported that we have been told it would cost $3,000 to remove the solar panels for any needed roof repair.  Paul will continue to monitor and document where and when leaks occur.
·         Bug Extermination - Our recent outside spraying seems to have eliminated the bug problem.
·         Alarm System - Chris Metzler, Progressive's VP, looked at security needs in basement and sanctuary and will provide recommendations and a written bid.  Since the cable was run to the NE alley door, we have not had any problems with the security system failing. 
·         Door Fobs - Session approved the recommended $10 deposit fee (retroactively) for everyone using a fob.  Will cover replacement cost of any fob not returned.  Gary reported that there will be no deposit fee for BRPC employees or fobs issued for emergency purposes.
·         Document Shredding - We have received a quote from a company, but we cannot watch the shredding.  We will plan for a November 4 deadline for any BRPC members who wish to bring documents to be shredded to do so.  Paul Luce will pick up materials if contacted.  Paul will plan to arrange for an appointment to take the materials to the company to be shredded, with a target date of November 6.
·         Brightergy/Sunny Portal - Bobby shared with graphs that BRPC is still ahead on energy costs with the solar panels.
·         South Fence Repair - This will be an Eagle Scout project, most likely in November.

·         Trash Bin Containment - The approved Eagle Scout project will start October 10 and continue on October 13.  Thus far, John Lark has gotten over $212 donations, but he is still short.  Gary will help with getting materials at a reduced rate.

New Business:
·         Donations - Donations of a pool table from Connie Oliver and tables/file cabinet from Avis Odenbaugh were discussed.  Bobby and Christi will look at the items, and the committee gratefully approves the donations pending those inspections.  Donation forms will be filled out.
·         North Exterior Lighting - Committee members discussed the continuous challenge of keeping the lighting on at the front of the building.  The need for either a new switch or entire box will be determined and addressed.
·         Dishwasher Instructions - Additional signage will be posted outlining the need to turn on hot water heaters well before time of use.
·         Lighting of Pulpit - Possible solutions were discussed further, and the committee will explore options.
·         Piano Needs - Questions were brought to the committee by Mike Pagan as to whether additional window sealing, insulating, and changes in the heat near the piano could be made to protect the piano and facilitate it staying in tune longer.  We will try to redirect the heat near the piano with vent guards.
·         Old Paint - Paul Vance reported that we still have several cans of old paint that need to be disposed of.  He will collect any remaining cans, and Paul Luce will set up an appointment with the local hazardous waste company and deliver them.
·         Snow Removal - Charlie Hartman can no longer remove our snow, as his work has changed.  Christi will contact two local men who do this kind of work and get quotes for the circle drive, alley, and parking lot with 3" or more snow.  Charlie did this for $250.
·         Water Bill Increase - It was reported that the water bill rate will increase by about 10%. 
·         Concrete Blocks - We will plan to keep the concrete blocks that Bob Fray has moved to the east fence line.  BRPC will find a use for them.

Christi closed the meeting with prayer.

Old Business: 
·         Air Conditioning/Furnace -Air works on east side room upstairs on north end; heat exchange unit needs replaced.  Paul expecting written estimate from C&S - probable cost app. $2,500.  Discussion of replacing unit, which also services work/storage room for CE, or purchasing portable, safe, infra-red heat unit at much-reduced cost (units have been researched to be under $200).  Sunday School will use room beginning in September.  Committee requests Session approve funding heat, up to $2,500, for room - SEE "Items to be voted upon" ABOVE.  Theater room - dampers were closed, causing very little circulation - air and heat now work.  Room 201 - air and heat now work.  Rooms 1,2,3 first floor - air that went out on 8-8 now works - repairman fixed wire outside.
·         Roof Leaks - Still having leaks.  Paul Vance emptied app. 2 gallons from worship storage closet, south end.  New leak found in Room 202.  Several miscellaneous leaks, but inconsistent (different places at different times) except always worship storage.  Will have to wait for next rains.  Low spot on roof is known to exist, may be causing some problems, such as by pantry.  Paul V. will document known leaks.  Discussion about whether solar panels can be raised (if needed) to make repairs.  Christi will assist Paul in investigating roof again.
·         Bug Extermination - Paul V. sprayed exterior walls using battery-powered unit - better than pump for large areas.  Now seeing dead bugs.  Will spray again.

·         Document Shredding - Sally and Christi researched companies who can provide shredding services - church has old records.  Five companies listed on spread sheet with varying options of shredding on site, self-transport, and pick up.  Costs were discussed - Bobby will research more if cheapest company - Mid-West Shredding (with self-transport) will allow us to watch shredding, guarantees of security, liabilities, etc.  Will schedule opportunity for BRPC members to bring in documents from home to be shredded; will be expected to pay for additional boxes/weight.  More info to come.
·         Brightergy/Sunny Portal - Bobby shared report on solar panels - we are little ahead - receiving more than our lease amount each month - not costing BRPC anything.
·         Camera Additions - Session approved cost for additional cameras in parking lot, but issue on hold until security needs for building are addressed.
·         Electrical Line - Dead tree limb on electrical cable - concerns for safety.  Paul V. unable to make contact with house south of church; Christi and Pastor Pat also attempted.  Talked to KCPL; they sent letter to homeowners.  Issue may be resolved, as tree debris not on line anymore.
·         South Fence Repair - Scouts will provide physical labor - very difficult job - posts set in concrete deep in ground - BRPC will provide needed materials.
·         Mower Repair - Paul V. reported that he consulted with repairman about concerns, noises - was told "no problem" existed.  Bearing problem suspected; no repair needed at this time.  Now know to back up fly wheel each time to start mower.  May still need solenoid in future.  No cost for consultation.  Paul will continue to monitor.

BRPC Property Committee Minutes of August 4, 2015

BUILDING RELATIONS WITH PEOPLE IN CHRIST

Members present: Bobby Neal, John Starcke, Gary Oberlander, Bob Lockwood, Paul Vance, and
Sally Ingram, Christi Neal

Absent but not forgotten: John Foster, Bob Fray Pastor Pat Jackson.

Building usage: None.

Meeting opened with prayer with Bobby Neal.

Approvals: No minutes from July. No meeting held.

Session information: Bobby Neal shared pertinent items from the last Session meeting with the
committee members present.

Old Business:
1) Gary is nearly finished (with‐in the week) with fabrication and it was suggested that he elicit
Mike Pagán to finish with staining the shelves wood and filling/organizing the shelves with
music and organizing when complete.
2) Storage areas that are now clear are being re‐used and organized by Christi Neal as time
allows.
3) Paul noted the old documents that are to be shredded stowed in the upstairs class room.
Christi Neal will investigate a local shredding company to make an on‐sight evaluation and
pricing.
4) Paul Vance remains vigilant on the various roof leaks and Christi Neal noted some roof leak
related mold in the ladies main floor restroom. Our custodian will be alerted and advised
on cleanup.
5) Alarm system installer has sent a bill to BRPC outlining a service call that we are contesting.
Christi Neal is making the calls. There are still small issues that seem to be intermittent. A
request for quote on an addition to the infrastructure will be placed when the bill is
resolved.
6) Elevator issues have been addressed from a rainstorm flooding of the elevator shaft in early
spring but the bill sent seems high for the time spent. So Gary Oberlander will be
investigating with the service provider.
7) Camera additions estimates for parking lot have been submitted to the Finance Committee
for review and hopeful available funds.

New Business:
 Gary Oberlander has determined that the south fence that is in need of repair belongs
to the BRPC grounds. The repairs will mostly be from labor, and the removal and
installation of several posts. (Volunteers and donations may be necessary).
 There is an electrical line being pulled down low by unattached tree limbs, not on BRPC
property, in the South/East grassy area. This seems to be a dangerous situation with in
any regard so KCPL and the City of Raytown will be contacted by Gary Oberlander and
Christi Neal to find a solution.
 The concrete steps and ramp in on the south entrances are shower deterioration. Gary
Oberlander and Paul Vance plan to investigate and come up with options.
 In regard to the HOOPS & HOT DOGS events, the Property committee has been asked to
help provide additional “testosterone prone” members during the next event. We
agreed that Gary Oberlander will do some skyhook layups and Paul Vance will
demonstrate his dunking abilities.
 The Budget admission for Property Committee was discussed and planned to be
completed and to the Budget Committee will have it by the next session meeting (Sept,
8th).
 Due to the amount of information gathering and leg work for the Property Committee
performed by Christi Neal, it is agreed that she is officially a member of our Committee
by default.

Meeting closed with prayer by Christi Neal.
Next planned meeting September 8th 2015.

Minutes submitted by Bobby Neal.

August 20th 2015

One issue not address due to Pat’s absence to remind me, (ahem) there is a desire by many to
have the pulpit lighted better for the better viewing of the recorded services. This matter was
brought up to Bill M. and he will get with Gary O. ideas for some brain storming later this
month.

BRPC Property Committee Minutes June 2, 2015

BUILDING RELATIONS WITH PEOPLE IN CHRIST

Members present: Bobby Neal, John Starcke, Gary Oberlander, Bob Lockwood, Paul Luce, and Paul Vance.

Absent: Sally Ingram, John Foster, Bob Fray.

Building usage: None.

Meeting opened with prayer with Gary Oberlander.

Approvals: No minutes from May. No meeting held.

Old Business:

• Upstairs music room furnace, storage areas, roof leaks, etc.;

1) Gary is continuing to gather materials and fabricate with Mike Pagan during the summer.

2) Storage areas are less a problem since the cleanup day, and items stowed in the upstairs class room will be moved to the rummage sale to be sold, given away, or disposed of. A
note has been placed in that room for committee members to “sign-off” having checked for items that should not be removed or sold but be kept for any reason.

3) Paul noted that there are disused speakers from the sanctuary AV upgrade that might be included in the rummage sale or other means to remove them from storage spaces.

4) Paul Vance is “amazed” to the fact that even after all the rain in May, no leaks were noticed.

5) Brightergy / Sunny Portal; Attached is data compiled from Sunny Portal of BRPC solar
collection system. The spreadsheet and graphs show the extent of savings vs. payout to Brightergy by month and by yearly totals.

• Alarm system as it is now;
The system has been reprogrammed by the provider to turn on each night at 10:30 PM
and then off again at 8:20 AM. The monitoring company has instructions to call the people on the call list BEFORE calling police. This applies to the intruder alarm only and does not affect the fire alarm. The call list, if in the event there is an alarm activated, is
in order as follows; Christi Neal, Gary Oberlander, Bobby Neal, Pat Jackson.

• Elevator hole cover plate;
A plate has been made and Gary will install at his convenience. The plate in question is for covering an access hole in the floor of the elevator shaft to keep anyone that might
be working there from injury. • Camera additions for parking lot;
Paul Luce, is suggests that the funds needed are available pending the Finance Committee meeting approval and vote.

New Business:
• Water and other utilizes increases; Water, KCPL, and Garbage collection have given notice of increases. Brightergy, (the solar panel provider) will have a planned increase of 2% there current fee (no pun intended) at the end of June.
• Possible alarm system additions;
We will have Progressive return to give an estimate of adding additional sensors to the existing intrusion alarm system to better complete the system.
• Dead tree in front;
Paul Vance will check on its true status.
• Stuff we want to get rid of;
Aside from the disused speakers, Paul Vance is continuing to dispose of metal scraps found in and around the church grounds. • Mower repair;
The riding mower required a repair costing around $200. (Head gasket). Also, Paul
Vance noticed none-functioning push mower and string trimmer are somehow missing from where they have been sowed. If anyone has information, please get with Paul.
• Fence repair;
The south property fence is in need of four new posts and installation. Gary will
investigate whom the fence belongs.
• Bob Fray requests vines around AC trimmed;
Gary will do that.
• Leafs vs. Boy / Girl Scouts;
Gary said Pat will be asking the Scouts to contribute to the leaf removal as a Scout community project.

Meeting closed with prayer by John Starkey.

Next planned meeting August 4th 2015.

BRPC Property Committee Minutes April 7, 2015

BUILDING RELATIONS WITH PEOPLE IN CHRIST

Members present: Bobby Neal, Sally Ingram, John Starkey, Gary Oberlander, and
Paul Vance.

Items for vote: Building requests.

Meeting opened with prayer.

Approvals: Agenda for current meeting and Minutes from March were approved.

Old Business:

 Furnace problems and repairs are on‐going as needed. A bill for $280 was
paid for work done in January on the downstairs furnace and music room
heater system.

 Girl Scouts storage request has been accommodated with a file cabinet
near the elevator room.

 Alarm system use set for April 1st has had issues, Gary Oberlander is going
to the alarm company on the 8th to resolve issues;

 Need more time to deactivate,

 Proper method of alerting police should the alarm be activated, and
discovery of a password used for identification purposes when calling the
alarm company. (at the time of this writing, all issues have been resolved
via Gary’s visit)

 Adding Christi Neal (a volunteer) to the list of contacts when alarm is
activated and corrections to call list,

 New list in order of contact:
 Christi Neal
 Gary Oberlander
 Bobby Neal
 Pat Jackson

 BRPC cleanup day on March 7th was a great success but with still much to
do. I.e. Music behind dais, literature in hall behind dais, Rummage sale prestaging
room, and some class rooms that Christi Neal will be re‐arranging as
she finds time.

 Gary is in the process of constructing the planned Music room shelves.

 Property committee members were on hand to help during the pancake
breakfast March 14th. Great Day!

 Bobby is in the process of having a required cover plate made for access
hole in the elevator shaft floor. Gary will install the cover plate when it
becomes available.

 The cost and requirements for an additional parking lot camera was
reviewed and will be forwarded to the Finance committee to evaluate
funds and to Session for review.

 Ben Stallings is finished with the basketball hoop attachment for the
parking lot backboard but it is waiting for the youth ministry team involved
to use it when they deem suitable.

 Ben Stallings has graciously donated and installed a BUN brewing system in
the Fellowship hall kitchen. This system will produce two separate
containers of two separate items at a 1‐1/2 gallon each. Those of us in the
Property committee would like BRPC Session to provide a formal letter of
appreciation and gratitude for his generosity in this and other items.

 Easter Breakfast in the Fellowship hall was enjoyed by 100 people and the
free will donations were very much appreciated. There were some
leftovers that disappeared quickly and the shopping list for next year is
getting revised to make next year even better.
New Business:
 All building requests submitted in the last two months have been approved
with the exception of one conflict that has been hopefully resolved
pending CE's meeting and acceptance of a date change that Mary
Ziegenhorn submitted with a new Building Request.
The conflict of dates concerned the Neal's 50th wedding anniversary reception
on June 27th & 28th and the planned BRPC rummage sale planning to use those
same rooms during the entire week of June. Even though there was a request
submitted for both in a timely manner, the Neal's properly noted it on the
calendar at the time of submission while the CE committee did not due to need of
some committee planning and the need for Session approval.
We in property, all agreed that the magnanimous gesture of CE to move the
dates should be noted as the approval for use was a small matter of "who got
there first". We are all sure the Neal's and the rummage sale group will work well
together to ensure both events are greatly successful.

Building usage approved in the April 7th property meeting are as listed;

o Kriston Barton ‐ Traveling Day Camp.
o Avis Odenbaugh ‐ Presbytery Minutes Reading.
o The Neals (Gordan and Margret) ‐ 50th Wedding Anniversary Reception
(prepping the day before and event).
o Christi Neal ‐ Mission Trip Fund Raiser, VBS, Family Fun Night, Fruit Sale
(packing and distribution), and reiterated the pre‐meeting request of Youth
Group Retreat (April 3‐ 4).
o Renee Ingram ‐ Deacons Christmas Dinner.
o Mary Ziegenhorn ‐ BRPC Rummage Sale revised dates of May 26th thru
June 23rd.
o Debbie Jones ‐ Ice Cream Social.

 The garbage disposal in the downstairs kitchen seemed to have been

jammed during the Maundy Thursday event. The “jam” was cleared with a
twist as mentioned in the trouble shooting guide for the disposer that
evening and the disposer is functioning properly now.
