A.

Update on heating system upgrade

Michelle and Martin updated committee.  System is in and operational.  We are still working in getting the controls to function properly with the Daiken system and run the sequence of operations we requested.  May be looking into different control companies if we are not successful.  Martin explained that we want to get this correct ahead of phase 2.  

B.

Future planning for large longer range capital projects

Michelle and Martin presented an update on the 10 year capital planning.  The committee agreed in general on the timeline and project list.  The committee also agreed that we would recommend to the board that there is a need to save an increased amount on an annual basis.  Presently that saving need looks like $250k per year.  The committee would like to add in the "quality of life" projects on a 5-8 year basis and update the savings amount before recommending a number to the board.  The committee also suggests the board begin thinking about the qualify of life projects to solicit feedback, create a list, and work with DevCom on determining which projects work for fundraising.
