Kelly King and Williams Yates reviewed the restructuring of Administration and Finance Committees. (see attached) This will result in one committee and result in the removal of William Yates on the parish council with Kelly King now being a member of the parish council. William was thanked for his years of dedicated service.

Kelly King also reported that the loan from the Archdiocese has been approved. This will save our parish thousands of dollars over the life of this loan. Lighting system – can be completed for approx $12,000 Plans are in progress to improve the sound system.

Old business – Request for using Straub Funds in order to complete the below 2 projects for our school.

Louisville Handyman $12,658 Construction Hardware $18,000 B. Add Keyfob security system to all exterior doors with the exception of the 4 courtyard doors. Sonitrol $14,710 plus $153/ mo for monitoring and service agreement Honeywell $27,800 plus maintenance agreement A third bid is being secured with will be assessed this week.

Shelly Davis pointed out that, again, we are getting information and asked to vote immediately. Several members agree that we should get this type of info have time to think over it before a vote is presented.

The Admininistration, finance, and school board have all approved the above request, even though the 3rd quote has not been received. Even if the Parish Council approves, the Archbishop will have to approve because the expenditure is over $10,000.

A motion was made by Mike Wheatley to approve Louisville Handyman at $12,658 and Sonitrol at $14,710 to be paid from the Straub fund unless the 3rd bid comes incheaper. The $153 monthly service agreement will be paid from the general fund. This was seconded by Mike Logsdon. All were in favor, nobody opposed.

The question was asked if we will get a reduction in our insurance premium as a result of this increased security. Jim Kramer said he will find out and let us know.
