Old Business:
 
  1. Huey reviewed the R.E. Space requirement status. $2500 for the first bid and $3400 for the second bid. There was a $5700 bid for an additional room. Bid was shown to Board members. See attached.  It was noted that is was not feasible to add a new building because of City regulations. A decision was made to remodel the back building instead. Huey noted that we have already received congregation approval for spending up to $45,000 for additional RE space. Huey will send an email to update congregation. Voting will be done via email.
