I.                   APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS MINUTES

Todd presented the minutes from the May 18^th meeting. Denise moved, and Doug seconded, to accept the minutes, and the motion carried.

II.                SPIRITUAL SHARING

III.             RENOVATION & FINANCING UPDATES

HVAC was finally moved. Still waiting for plumbing permit. Ashley should be providing materials list soon so selections can be made. Rebecca will contact Mark to discuss furnishings. Steve suggested contacting local business owners for donations of furnishings (Hosea?)

IV.             DISCIPLESHIP TEAM UPDATE

Jennifer reported that the Spiritual Gifts committee suggests making an updated renovation timeline available to all groups for planning purposes. Todd will talk with Dennis about this.

Steve reported that the Finance Committee wants to bring all preschool finance tasks under the Treasurer for oversight. The finance committee is evaluating the possibility of hiring a bookkeeper/business manager or outsourcing some of the treasury functions for the church, including the preschool. We would still have a Treasurer for oversight. The finance committee approved transferring the memorial fund’s $25,000 pledge to the “Come and Follow Christ” capital campaign from the memorial fund to the new building and renovation and expansion fund with council’s approval. Council approved the request and asked Steve to contact Geneva before executing the transfer.

V.                OLD BUSINESS

Preschool Task Force: Council had previously voted by email on a motion to accept the recommendation by the Preschool Task Force to offer the position of Director to Debbie Bechtol at a salary of $xxx plus benefits. Todd had received 12 affirmative votes. The motion was ratified.

Pastor Vicki reported that the Mission Team will begin meeting this Sunday after the 11am service. They will begin the task of visioning how we will continue our ministry, and not let the current renovation become our sole mission.

VI.             NEW BUSINESS

There was no new business discussed.

VII.          ADJOURNMENT

Amy led the closing prayer and Todd adjourned the meeting.

The next Council Meeting will be on July 27 with lunch by Todd Kuhse.

Respectfully submitted,
