Board weighs ordering kitchen cabinets now or waiting for pledges and clearer costs
Summary
The board discussed a revised cabinet quote ($11,003.18) and a broader kitchen estimate (~$42,000). Members debated whether to place the 12-week-order now, or wait about a month to see if the $50,000 pledge and pending budget items free up funds.
Board members reviewed a revised cabinet quote and estimates for countertops and appliances, with one speaker summarizing the kitchen budget as "basically $42,000." The contractor estimated a 12-week lead time for cabinets, prompting discussion of whether to order now to meet timing or wait until the next bill clarifies total project costs.
An anonymous pledge of $50,000 was announced to help cover kitchen expenses. Members discussed using the pledge as assurance to order cabinets but flagged the donor-protection process that may delay availability of cash by several weeks. The group generally agreed to defer a final decision for around a month to let pending invoices and contingencies settle, with one member suggesting ordering in early March to aim for a June arrival if funds and measurements are confirmed.
