Administration Team

June 9, 2008

Present: Guy Gledhill, Ron Bennett, Jim Otis and Cyndi Alden (Business Manager). Absent: Deb Sandler, Eben Marsh and Chris Mills.

Call to Order at 7 P.M. by Guy, and Jim was appointed Secretary and Chair of the next meeting.

OLD BUSINESS:
Finance: Cyndi explained that pledge receipts were lagging behind similar to prior years at this time. There was a $(34,793) loss through June 5 vs. a budgeted loss of $(28,176). There was concern about spiking utility expenses; Cyndi will email us options for our oil contract in July and we will make a decision then.
Tenant Update: Both Sawyer St. tenants are late for their June rent as of today.
Planned Giving: Ron and Chris are working on the committee composition and they will try to have a suggested approach at the next meeting (September).
Bulletin Board Policy: Chris is in charge of this and we felt this should be tabled until the next meeting to give him a chance to offer input.
Swarthmore Road Update: Guy hasn’t heard from Jaime Schwartz yet. Jaime was going to get a petition signed by residents and deliver it to Guy, who would then deliver it to the City.

Committee Reports:
Counting: Chair Brian Wallace has been doing a great job and has got the counting program very well organized, including a counting schedule through August 3.
House: Chair Guy Gledhill discussed the highlights in their June 3 meeting report of the House Committee. All routine maintenance and planned improvement projects are on schedule. Guy also discussed some of the details concerning the chancel reconfiguration.
Personnel Committee: Chair is Ellie Chatto. Elsa will be taking over a portion of Kim Early’s responsibilities. Kim’s primary responsibilities will be taken over by a person coming to us from Bangor Seminary. Also, Tom Conlon was hired to work on Saturdays and his pay will be charged as a separate line item.
New Business:
None.


Date of Next Meeting: Thursday, September 4, 2008 at 7 pm.
