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.
