Board of Managers Annual Report

The Board of Managers met regularly to deal with the financial matters

of the Church and manse.

The Board of Managers was made up as follows:

Chairman Jim Briggs

Vice Chairman Doug Peebles

Treasurer Ray Luxon

Secretary Avril Brown

Donna Currie, Michelle Forsyth. Jesse Gibson, Elwood Green, Norm

Harrison. Mark Hunter, Bob Lovell, Elizabeth Renfrew.

Grant Halls was our Session representative.

Jim Briggs gave us fine leadership. Unfortunately due to circumstances

beyond his control, Jim tendered his resignation. Doug Peebles then

took over the chair.

Manse report:

The Board was asked to make a decision concerning the future of the

manse. A professional evaluation of the manse was made by Donna

Currie. The value was set at $160,00.00. Our options were:

1.Sell the manse, and provide a living allowance. Allowances are being

raised to $15,000.00 in the near future.

2.Sell the manse, and buy another. That would entail a new mortgage.

3.Sell the manse, and build on church property.

4.Budget $2,500.00 a year and fix up the property. (Needs windows and

damp proofing.) This is the option we have chosen.

At the annual meeting of 1988, two items at the manse were identified

as needing attention:

1.replace corroded taps .

2.install new aluminum windows

In June, replacing bathroom taps turned into a major renovation. Now

all the fittings match and are in new condition. In December, a new

storm door was put up at the back door. The financial situation has

caused the windows to be held over.

Church property:

In 1989 extensive plumbing maintenance was carried out in the kitchen

and washrooms.

Broken windows were replaced, a fire security key box was installed.

These projects have been identified for 1990:

Church Property:

1.New kitchen floor.

2.Painting back staircase.

3.Fixing the cement wall at church entrance.

4.More security lighting.
