The Facilities Committee
|
|
In 2020, as work on Project Welcome was nearing completion, the Board of Trustees formed a Facilities Committee to study potential uses of the Parsonage and make a recommendation to the Board and to the Congregation of what course of action might best serve the church in the future. Because the Thrift Shop building shares the lot with the parsonage and is also in dire need of attention, the scope of the committee was expanded to address the Thrift Shop’s needs.
The Facilities Committee has completed its report, which reflects more than two years of investigation, research and analysis. Initial findings were shared with the congregation at the Annual Meeting held in early 2021 and also in an information session held in the vestry after worship on May 1, 2022. The Committee's report will be sent to all church members via email and can be viewed and downloaded at this link . |
Role of the Board of Trustees
The Board will consider the recommendations of the Facilities Committee at a special meeting of the Board to be held on September 7, 2022. The Board of Trustees is responsible for:
Making recommendations to the Church membership on all major issues and initiatives that require a vote of the Church Membership at an Annual, Quarterly or Special meeting, including, but not limited to: capital fund drives, purchase, sale or modification of real estate and other assets valued at more than $15,000, using more than five percent (5%) of the previous year-end endowed asset balance to fund the operating budget, and By-Law changes.
Role of the Congregation
The Congregation will consider the Board of Trustees’ recommendation at the Quarterly Meeting of the Congregation to be held in the Church immediately after worship on Sunday, September 11, 2022. Decisions of the Congregation are made by a majority of members present (with 40 members required to reach a quorum). Members are those who have been accepted as members of the Congregation as of the most recent induction of new members. A list of members is kept by church staff at the church office. Anyone uncertain about their membership status can check with Dawn Ross in the church office at 401-635-8472 or via email at: dawn@ucclittlecompton.org.
