Minutes

Tuesday May 15, 2007 5pm Meeting #4 in Parish House

Conference Room

Present: Fr. Bajorek, Jane Banik, Tom Felton, John Bowie and Ken Margolis

v Fr. Bajorek opened the meeting with a prayer.

v The minutes from the May 1st meeting were approved.

4A. The minutes from meetings 1, 2 and 3 were reviewed to keep fresh those action items still pending completion.

4B. The Gym floor was discussed and as of this meeting, the updated proposal from Weyer Floor Service, Inc. as per our meeting with them at St. John’s on May 7^th has not yet been received. To go forward, it was agreed that someone from the BC would visit an installation at another school for reference, clarification and confirmation to allow us to proceed. An additional proposal will also be requested from a competitive local source.

4C. The preparation of an in depth time line of all proposed renovations that will include required action items was discussed and agreed that we (The BC) now have adequate insight as to what is required to prepare such a Time Line. Tom will meet separately and conference with individual BCM’s as required in order to develop the draft document and circulate it to BCM’s within the next 4 weeks.

4D. We looked at and discussed the initial ceiling samples and will set up visits to existing Churches using these products as well as Churches that have installed a roof lantern over the Altar. Jane will coordinate this effort.

4E. Still pending are meetings with the Lighting design and Acoustical tuning consultants.

4F. Tom is in discussion with Tamora Building Systems who has installed St. John’s existing roof pertaining to the proposed renovation and the need to repair the roof leaks.

4G. Msgr. D’Adezio who is well experienced with Church renovations will visit St. John’s on Wednesday May 23^rd along with a marble expert to discuss St. John’s proposed interior changes and in particular, the relocation of the Blessed Sacrament Altar and Baptismal font.

4H. It was agreed that a wooden mock up of the existing Blessed Sacrament Altar will be made and used for placement purposes and allow life like clarity and bring forth any issues that need to be addressed such as the shortening of the cross, adequate work space between the main Altar and most importantly, providing a clean line of sight to the Tabernacle from the pews.

Fr. Bajorek will ask a SJC parishioner with expertise in wood working to prepare this mock up.

4I. The existing communication initiatives now in place, including the Web Site posting of minutes and Q&A documents, the Bulletin Q&A and rendering inserts along with the continual obligation to maintain a clear and open a communiqué to St. John’s parishioners was thoroughly discussed along with all of the questions and concerns we have received to date. As questions are received, they are acknowledged and then immediately become a part of the Q&A insert initiative. It is the intention of the Building Committee to take into consideration all valuable input that is received during the design development process.

4J. Discussions ensued pertaining to the unveil to parishioners of all proposed designs as they become available with the initial thought to hold a town meeting to accomplish this.

4K. An initiative to bring to St. John’s an extensive campus wide maintenance program as developed by John Spinelli was discussed and deemed required, so further discussions will take place to explore the resources required to fulfill this obligation.

v Next Steps:

· BCM’s to complete action items as stated above and as pending from previous meetings.

· The Building Committee will meet on Tuesday May 29, 5pm in the Parish House
