Capital Improvement Task Force Update 09.23.2012
Capital Improvement Task Force • • The Council established the Capital Improvement Task Force (CITF) at the Annual Meeting, held in February 2012. • The charge of the CITF is to assess deferred maintenance and capital improvement needs of our facility and to prepare recommendations for consideration by the congregation.
Teaming With HGA • • At a special congregational meeting in June, the congregation voted to hire the engineering firm of Hammel,Green & Abrahamson (HGA) to help evaluate our issues and develop a long range plan for addressing them. • Our work with HGA began in early June and is being completed this month. • We held six meetings over the summer with HGA.
Our Goals • • At our first meeting with HGA we established our goal – create a “structurally sound, safe, comfortable and dry facility.” • We want to meet this goal by being good stewards of our facility and making wise decisions for the future.
Our Priorities Defined • • Major issues were ranked in the following order: • Roof / Gutter System • Water Drainage / Building Leaks / Erosion • Structural (Building Settlement) • Parking Lot • HVAC / Electrical & Plumbing
