ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL MEETING SUMMARY
12/10/24 ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL MEETING SUMMARY
Discipleship Training — (Terry Bolender) Terry talked about Holy Conferencing and how important it is for us to work together with positivity to accomplish our goals. This is especially important because as leaders we set the tone for the congregation. We need to come with a spirit of togetherness, where we are willing to fully listen to one another and learn from each other. Terry shared an outline of Principles of Holy Conferencing by Retired Bishop Sally Dyck.
Trustees Report — (Kim Chick) Three windows in the church are in the process of being replaced. Trustees have gotten a lot of information about repairing/replacing the roof and are narrowing down what they want to send out for bids. The solar panels will be removed and securely stored on the property during work on the roof.
SPRC — (Rich Kimmie) Made a motion to approve the new position of Music Director at KUMC. After discussing the job description, the motion was passed. SPRC is planning on receiving applications through January 15, 2025.
Finance Update — (Glen Cushman) In November our contributions continued to lag, investments continued to do well, and expenses continued to be lower than projected.
Budget — (Len Whalen) The Finance Committee presented a budget, but the motion did not pass. The Budget Reconciliation Team will continue its work to provide a budget for Ad Council’s approval. In the meantime, the following motion passed: Until such time as a 2025 budget is approved, the church operates at the level of actual expenses, with staff salaries to be paid at the 2024 rate of pay, except where Washington state law requires a minimum wage increase.
2025 Pastor Salary — (Rich Kimmie) Pastor Jim’s salary for 2025 was approved at the 2024 rate of pay until such time as a 2025 budget is approved.
Next Ad Council meeting will be Tuesday, January 14th via Zoom
