  • Little under budget, behind on Concordia Payments $66,000. Not sure how that compares to last year, possible to use auction money.

  • Doug will talk with Jamie about publicizing the Voters Assembly Date.
  • Officer Eric from the Farmington police department has talked with the Elders regarding the security issue at St. Paul.
  He has identified areas around the property, lighting needed and talked with St. Joe about sharing costs for safety. Redo the front entrance of church; add conduit, use push only doors, etc. Simple items to improve safety. Having people at church services concealing firearms in church. Pastor can authorize who would be permitted to carry firearms.
  Looking into replacing the front doors and such for safety. Glass doors aren’t a good choice. Use the current Church Entry fund raiser to also include safety improvements also.
