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.
