Project Team Minutes September 25, 2007

The Project Team met on September 25, with all members present.

The purpose of this meeting was to take the gathered information for steel buildings, previous design plans, and team member proposals and combine these into a single proposal.

The meeting proceeded as follows:

Pastor Bob opened and closed the meeting with prayer.

• The team shared various ideas and discussed the pros and cons of each.

The discussion resulted in the team agreeing to the following parameters:

• The multi purpose facility will be built adjacent to the sanctuary extending along East Lincoln Ave. towards Webster St. (The option of building next to the CE Wing in the grassy area was rejected for several reasons not the least of which was the cost savings of combining the HVAC system with the new system required for the sanctuary building.)
• The new building will be L shaped, wrapping around to the rear entrance and connecting to the middle building area between the CE wing and the sanctuary building. The new facility will have a new entrance to replace the rear entrance.
• The team would like the primary structure of the multipurpose building to have a full basement at the level of Fellowship Hall and the main floor at the same level as the Sanctuary. The team agreed that the basement could remain unfinished at the completion of this project, but the main floor should be finished to provide multi-use space to include athletic type activities (e.g., basketball and volleyball).
• The location of the elevator will be determined after the final multipurpose design is agreed to.

As a result of this meeting the following action items were agreed to:

• A design sketch will be generated of the agreed to parameters and sent to a steel building contractor (General Steel) for a design proposal. - Carl
• The approximate cost of a full basement foundation will be determined for the purpose of the team determining the cost feasibility of the plan. - Carl
• A pictorial presentation of the proposed addition will be received and included into a Power Point presentation for later use. - Dale

The next meeting will be Tuesday, October 9, 2007 at 6:00 PM at the Church.
