BOARD OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT - April 2021

Property Management and TLC Budgets

As you may have heard, Trinity is in a deficit spending mode due in large part to the shutdown related to Covid-19. We are taking in less than is needed to pay the bills. This means that every dollar we spend over our income comes out of the few acorns which we have managed to squirrel away over the years. Until our normal life at Trinity and our contributions recover, Property Management and all the other budgeted cost centers have been asked to cut back to bare bones on the budget, and then be frugal with those funds.

I am asking that anyone seeking funds from Property Management for expensive materials or contractor help please contact Property Management for approval before committing to the purchase. We will work with you to try to find ways to meet your needs if we can.

Signs Of TLC

We are looking for your thoughts and suggestions for the signs and messaging at Trinity. See last month’s blurb for more detail. We want to replace the signs on Mercy / Largo, redo the sign in front of the church, and add signage on the east facing wall of the Education Building near the iron cross. We would like the formats for all locations to be similar and use LCMS standard colors. A sample format for the four signs is shown below (colors are approximate). This is a rough draft which will be tuned up later. If you have other thoughts and ideas, let us know.

Stucco Update

We are bidding out the Ed Building stucco work in two parts, doing the east and south sides as one part, and then doing the west side of the old building after the surface is prepared (in house we hope). We need to get a few brave souls to volunteer to do the tearoff of the bottom 8’ of the west side and replace and otherwise repair the underlayment. Once the tear out starts, we are committed to move ahead with the repairs for this area. If we can do the tear out in a timely fashion, we can to this as one project.

We will have to address the signage on the east wall of the Ed Building as a part of the work described above. We will be repainting and re-lighting the cross. If you have some ideas on painting for the cross, please let me know.

Congregational Work Days

We are looking ways to re-start workdays within the restrictions we live with in the post Covid-19 environment. We may need to re-think this and come up with a new way for volunteers to work at their convenience rather than in a group.

Something Need Fixin’?

If there are things that need attending to, please let
us know.

For Bud and myself, Mike Fajen
