B&G MINUTES \u2013-- 12\/14\/21<\/p>\n

PRESENT:<\/strong>\u00a0 Ben Manning, Daryl Ramlow, Dave Smolinski, Brad Gasper, Betts Zillges, Jan Olson, Rick Pierre, Guest: Wayne Ludkey<\/p>\n

Meeting opened at 3 pm by Ben; opening prayer per Betts<\/p>\n

Report on routine Maintenance<\/u><\/strong> per Brad:\u00a0 supplies of furnace filters as well as bags of salt for the water softener need to be replaced.\u00a0 We have enough salt through January.\u00a0 Brad states he does competitive pricing on supplies before ordering.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Basement partitions<\/u><\/strong> completed by Brad and Rick: total of 8 with sections now available to Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Youth and miscellaneous supplies.\u00a0 Cost $115 per unit. \u00a0Group toured the basement and while there is still organizing work to do, it looks great and they should be very satisfactory to take us into the future.<\/p>\n

Sanctuary West exit door<\/u><\/strong> replaced and completed by Tri City Glass and Brad<\/p>\n

Canopy soffit<\/u><\/strong> was incidentally damaged by Van Zealand during landscaping project which they offered to repair and cover cost.\u00a0 Ben researched repair and cost per roofing company -- $5,800.\u00a0 Brad offered to repair for much less than that and he now has the edging needed \u2013 done this week.\u00a0 Van Zealand then offered to reduce landscaping bill by $500 which we felt was fair.<\/p>\n

Sanctuary HVAC AC repair:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 parts are here and Gartman will get scheduled before year-end; now scheduled for 12\/28 and Brad will meet them at 7:30 am.\u00a0 This will get it into the 2021 budget as requested.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Garbage Service change<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 GFL has been notified of discontinuance of their service via certified letter and Harter\u2019s (new to our area) has been contracted with a 1 yr contract.\u00a0 Savings of approximately $600\/year and service change-over will take place in March. Questions asked re: biweekly vs monthly pick-up.\u00a0 Jan unsure but will check with Lou Zwicky who had made the arrangements and is on vacation this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Replace Highway Sign<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 has been being worked on for some time by Tom from B&G and Wayne from Council and narrowed down to 2 companies.\u00a0 Wayne did a side-by-side comparison of Appleton Sign\u2019s rendition and Creative Signs rendition with comparisons re: Basic Sign of sizes and features; Electronic Message Board, sizes and features; Warranties. \u00a0Daryl voiced that the base appears to be more durable with the Creative rendition, better graphics and sizing, and the company seemingly easier to work with. \u00a0After further discussion, a vote by 6 B&G members resulted in a unanimous vote for Creative Signs in spite of pricing difference \u2013 felt Creative has the best value to take us into the future.\u00a0 Total cost quote:\u00a0 $43,400 plus incidental costs for permitting, running electricity to it which needs to be arranged by us.<\/p>\n

Council\u2019s discussion<\/strong>:\u00a0 will go with B&G\u2019s vote, pay $20,000 out of operations fund and do a fund raiser to pay for rest ($23,620).\u00a0 Jeff suggested anything over and above amount raised, we put to debt reduction and advertise as such to our members.\u00a0 Timeline discussed:\u00a0 start fundraising after Jan. 1 and target installation early Spring time.\u00a0 Various forms of fundraising were suggested.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Future B&G projects<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 looking at adding to playground equipment \u2013 will bring Amy into the loop to see what needs are appropriate.\u00a0\u00a0 There were questions re: the age bracket we are targeting.\u00a0 It was suggested we put a portable basketball hoop at the east end of parking lot and they can use that pavement as a court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Secondly, installation of flood lights to the back yard so our back area is usable in Spring and Fall when it gets dark so early.\u00a0 Brad and Daryl will work with Amy to see their needs to start with.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Keys and Emergency Call<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 Jan will work with office staff to see that Rick gets a master key and they will make the change to the Call List for US Fire Alliance.<\/p>\n

Next Meeting<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 January 11th<\/sup> at 6:30<\/p>\n

Meeting closed at 4:10.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Respectfully submitted, Jan Olson, Secretary<\/p>\n
