7 Trustee - The Board of Trustees is the steward of the church building and property of the Montrose United Methodist Church. The proper upkeep and management of the property ensures that (1) disciple-making ministries are effective and (2) the legal and insurance requirements related to the MUMC are satisfied. A physical plant that is well-groomed and attractive is much more welcoming, safe, and hospitable than one that shows signs of benign neglect. As of 2016 the Board of Trustees is creating a new Transportation Committee that will be a sub-committee of the Board of Trustees. In the Fall of 2016 the transportation committee will submit their own budget to the Finance committee. The Transportation Committee will not be required to attend the Board of Trustees meetings. 7

Be proactive to recruit and train additional drivers; schedule routine maintenance and servicing; be sure the vehicle is properly fueled, cleaned, and always ready to take out; and make sure the vehicle and trailer have current licensing and tags. 8
