Board of Trustee Notes from May 1 meeting

The Board of Trustees meeting was held on May 1, 2019. As a means of increasing revenue, the Board discussed selling or leasing property not in use by the church to the town of Sudbury. In addition the suggestion was made that the church establish a Go Fund Me page for the maintenance and endowment for the church. It will be considered as part of the Revenue planning. The Board discussed visiting other UU churches that have been successful in using their facilities for other activities such as community centers and coffee houses.

 

The Administrator position will likely be split into two positions, one administrative and the other focused on marketing. Sudbury Extended Day could be moving out of our facilities in the next few years to Sudbury school facilities. This move would result in a large loss of revenue. There will be a walk-through of the facilities with the Sudbury superintendent of schools who is looking for office space. The planning for the kitchen remodeling continues. The Board was presented a chart of utilities usage. Kilowatt hours are increasing. The Board discussed ways to reduce utility costs. It was suggested that a building management system be used to control all utilities via computer.
