MINUTES September 16, 2025

In Attendance: 

                Larry Komendat                  

                  Bill Markowski 

The meeting convened at 7 PM in the meeting room in Selbert Hall and began with a prayer.

              Minutes from the June 10, 2025 meeting were accepted.

           Old Business:  

1. Quotes were secured to replace the concrete pad and steps behind the rectory. Lakeside

    Concrete was the low bidder for the contract at $4,838.00. The job is currently on hold.

2. Steve Flowers from our Safety Committee requested a safety measure for protecting the front entrance of our church. Parishioners donated two large boulders that have been placed in strategic locations.

           New Business:

1. The church boiler is original equipment from 1969 and will require yearly maintenance prior to the heating season to insure its dependability.
2. Replacement of the original pneumatic controls of the heating/air conditioning system in the church have begun. Bill Markowski is waiting on parts from Kele Inc. to complete the work. 
3. Wide area Network for the whole campus. Derek ? 716-202-8504 is quoting the project. Including the pavilion would allow for ATM machine at our picnic, cameras at the pavilion would be able to be monitered in the main office and allow for future programming at the pavilion. This would eliminate the monthly bill for the pavilion. Estimated cost $4,000-5,000
4. We have begun siding Langley Hall. The South side will be complete this Fall with the intention of completing one side a year.

              Future Improvements to the Pavilion & Storage Building:

1.  Clean-up around backstop from “The Natural” movie. A plaque designating site to be installed. 

Future Projects

1.  Replacement of the blacktop parking lot at the Southwest corner lot at the Amigone Funeral

     parlor. Catch basin to drain the lot to Clinton St. will be included. Engineer Tim Lavocat has

     been hired to prepare a drawing for bid purposes and for the New York State permit to drain

     the parking lot to the Clinton St. storm drain. This project is currently on hold. Cold patch was     

     applied by the Joseph Workers. We also suggest having the snow plow contractor keep the

     2024. parking lot clear at the crosswalk by the signal light. 

             2.  Rectory roof- in the next 5 years.

             3. The Holy Name Society has pledged funding for the installation of a 50’ by 51’ blacktop pad to

                  the South of the pavilion. Thomann Asphalt quoted the job at $ 21,290. It would be used as

                  a pickle ball court and serve as a dance floor for our church picnic. This project is on hold.

4.    Replacement of the school boiler and control panel. A recent repair to the control panel was 

done by MJ Mechanical. They advised us that parts are no longer available for the Johnson Control panel.

            Meeting adjourned at 8:20 PM

            Next meeting. Tuesday, October 14, 2025 at 9 AM in the meeting room in Selbert Hall.
