Council Minutes
February 18, 2020
Opening Remarks / Presidents Report: 6:35 PM
The Call Committee had its first meeting on Feb 6, 2020 with Brenda Tibbetts. She suggested that the chairman should be other than the congregational chairman. Kathy Baxter has agreed to chair. We hope to get the Ministry Site Profile completed by the end of March. D Maki, Diane and myself have worked with Kelly to clean up the bulletin. Hope you noticed that things have changed. Eric Olson has taken over the job of Financial Secretary. He seems to have a handle on the job after instruction from Chad Skelton.
Discussion was held regarding each of the agenda topics above with no changes and President Boback reminded the council the February meeting is where we reorganize each board and choose the leading roles for each council board.
