Trustees: John Rentschler reported regarding the roof repair project. The roof was last shingles in 1980. The best estimates to date are $6000 for the project. John also suggested that additional insulation (approximately $850) should be done at the same time. Replacement of knob and tube wiring could also be accomplished by the trustees. Joe Bechen indicated that the current church budget cannot accommodate this project; on the other hand to postpone this project will mean greater repairs will be needed (new ceiling, etc.) Motion was made to approve the trustees to continue to pursue cost estimates and alternatives (steel roofing) for this project and that a special voters meeting can be called to learn of their report.
