1. A sign for the playground stating “Use Limited to Students and Staff During School Hours” needs to be ordered. VFT Graphics and Elma Press are suggested venders.
2. Security cameras have been installed at the pavilion and in the playground. Wiring for 2 cameras covering the main church parking lot is to be done this month.
3. Installation of new air conditioning units ($52,732.00) for the church by Mollenburg-Betz is complete. Replacement of the old vacuum controls is now near completion. Bill conveyed that we will continue to use the pneumatic compressor for valves and dampers only. Relays for fans, starters, boiler, cabinet units and hot water pumps to be controlled from a new main panel in the Sacristy. Waiting on programming and testing by Trane. Cost of the new wireless control panel is $49,100.

4. 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. We 

    suggest going forward with the job as it is a liability concern and could delay sale of the property

    if we need to sell it.

           5. The Holy Name Society has covered the cost of the replacement of the rug tile in Selbert Hall. 

               The total cost of the job was $20,750. Karndean Classic Oak solid core glue down vinyl plank 

               was installed. Holy Name volunteers removed the carpet tile and skim coated the floor in

               preparation for the installation. Paul Owens did a professional installation. 

           6. We have received 160 new chairs from ChurchPlaza for Selbert Hall. The

               Deluxe Banquet chair was selected in the color Espresso.  

           7. The roof over the Sacristy was replaced by Neth & Sons for $35,800. 

           8. Wood strip was added to upper cabinets in Selbert kitchen to protect food trays 

               from falling off cabinets. 

           9. The St. Joseph workers added a 2nd railing to the pulpit in church. 

New Business:

1. The Holy Name Society has accepted a bid of $21,290.16 from Thomann Asphalt to blacktop a 50’ by 51’ area to the South of the Pavilion to be used for pickleball and as a dance floor for the Annunciation Picnic in August. This project is currently on hold.

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. John Neidhart suggests minimal repairs be done

     this fall to make it through the winter. We also suggest having the snow plow contractor keep 

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

2.  Rectory roof- in the next 5 years.

3.  Replace electrical service to Langley Hall and update main panel in the school boiler room. Bill

     Markowski has secured a bid from HDE Electric Inc. at a cost of $55,550.00 for this work. With 

     completion of this work we would eliminate a separate service bill for Langley Hall.

3.  Replacement of siding on Langley Hall. Samples of vinyl siding were secured from ABC 

     Supply on Broadway and Ash St.
