5 8. Old Business: a. DSC update- Deacon John i. The new building is 2.25 weeks behind on the paving schedule due and other issues to the rainy weather we ve been experiencing ii. The rain has provided indications of 3 low/sinking spots in the graded areas that will be paved- Kevin Klein has provided a low cost solution iii.

The electrical work is back on schedule v. Ductwork is being installed vi. Delivery of the shingles for the new building and the hail damaged roofs on the present buildings will be delivered this next week (July 24) vii.

The plan is for Fr. Ponce to move into the rectory on Aug. 13 th / x. The classrooms will then be setup for the Fall sessions xi. Kevin S. has offered 1200 sq. ft. of new linoleum tile to the parish for whatever need that might fill xii. A.C. Klein has not confirmed a hard date for completion, but is moving closer to being able to nail that date down. xiii. The new building, overall, is on budget xiv.

6 vi. The campaign will include asking for volunteers to run a registration table before/after mass on specified weekends vii. Jill volunteered to work on the Saturday that photos will be taken viii.

Possibly place small bistro-type tables in the corner areas to provide some permanent seating options 3. Utilize a folding table/chairs for holding donuts/coffee 4.

7 iii. The approximate date for this event is Sept. 24 th iv. Coordination with other Parish Ministeries for support is a must. Any decisions needing a vote by the Parish Council can be accomplished with a called special session where a quorem of at least 5 members would be necessary for a votewe have only one regular council left before the dedication is slated to take place v. Father suggested offering a commemorative gift to each parishioner who attends in honor of the blessed event- possibly a type of card to celebrate the dedication? j. Councils preparation for the upcoming changes i. Socialize any questions parishioners might have as we move closer to realizing the new church ii. Begin to socialize the idea that the new sanctuary space will be a sacred space and not the noisy gym we all used to- begin by discussing how the habits of our community will change k.

Define By-Laws Article V, Section E, Unexcused Absences as absences in which the Chairperson was not notified by the absentee 48 hours prior to the scheduled meeting, or in which prior effort to arrange remote presence at the meeting (as defined by Article III) was not made within 48 hours of the scheduled meeting. iii. After some discussion it was decided that this will be on the agenda for next meeting in order to finalize discussion and place before the Pastoral Council for a vote. b. Meeting date of the Parish Council i. The Council discussed the possibility of changing the schedule for when we hold meetings or keeping to what we presently have (3 rd / Tuesday of the month)- the Council agreed to keep the meeting schedule as it is now c. Holy Day Mass, August 15 th / i. Discussion about where to hold a Parish Mass during the week for this Holy Daywould the gym be available? Kevin S. will contact Eric Lustig about availability ii.
