Summary

Facilities lead reported completion of handicap ramp concrete and foundation drains, ongoing electrical work and pending steeple/ carillon work. Board discussed painting color options, a Sherwin-Williams site visit, and a possible $5,400–$13,000 range in additional painting costs depending on approach.

Facilities updates included finished concrete on front and back handicap ramps, completed backfill and foundation drain hookups, and cleanup of the rear ditch to improve drainage. Peter reported that while concrete work is near completion, electrical outlets and finishing remain and John is expected back in about three weeks.

Members also reviewed steeple and carillon options (solid sidewalls and louvers to dampen sound) and discussed paint and color decisions. A Sherwin‑Williams consultant offered to visit the site and help select colors. Members noted a painting cost difference—"painter said it will cost $5,400 more to paint it to color rather than 1 color"—and asked Peter to negotiate with contractors about time/charge formulas and lift rental costs.
