To learn more about the work of the Property Committee look for someone wearing this button on Sunday morning.

The role of the Property Committee is multi-faceted in nature.

Co-Chairs: Kathryn Munn and Bob England

Property is responsible for overseeing the daily, seasonal, and annual maintenance of the church building and outside grounds, including coordination with building contractors/consultants (e.g., annual fire safety testing, etc.). The regular cleaning of the building is undertaken by custodial staff. Other regular maintenance works are undertaken by small groups of Property Committee and affiliated volunteers (e.g., lawn cutting/garden upkeep). Other occasions will involve volunteers from the wider congregation to assist with particular projects (e.g., painting).

The Property Committee recommends a budget to the Financial Committee for inclusion in the annual church budget. It is also responsible for researching and recommending needed capital improvements to the building and surrounding property on an annual basis and making recommendations to the Endowment Fund Committee (e.g., roof repair/replacement), including liaising with the insurance company, as required. The same is true for longer-term forecasting, (e.g., five-year plan).

Finally, in consultation with and support to the church administrator, Property Committee oversees the needs of the facility users, including renters/tenants (e.g., opening and closing, event set up and take down, etc.).
