| VESTRY MINUTES 2004-2005 |
| Vestry Meeting February 7, 2005 Members Present: Connie, Evelyn, Margaret, Marilyn F., Don, Bill Be., Delena, Sally, Fr. Ray, Carol - Parish Intern, Walt - Treasurer, and Bill Br. - Clerk Members Absent: John Meeting opened at 7:03 PM with a prayer by Fr. Ray. Minutes: Minutes of the January 3, 2005 meeting were reviewed and approved by motion. Minutes of the January 23, 2005 (after the annual meeting) were reviewed and approved by motion. Treasurer's Report: Walt reviewed older financial reports with the new vestry persons to bring them on board. Financial reports for December 2004 were then reviewed. Interest income was up because the CD matured and was paid. In December some of the pledges for 2005 were paid in advance. Altar candles for the upcoming year were purchased and paid for in December. Expenses for the organist and the parish secretary were paid to the diocese for two months. The trust fund has done well and now totals almost $119,000. The Fosmark estate gave $15,000 to St. Alban's with no specific designation for disposition. Fr. Ray suggested that we spend a month considering what we should do with these funds and make a decision at the March meeting. It was moved and seconded to accept the report. Motion approved unanimously. Committee Reports: Worship Schedule - Don, in charge of publishing the worship schedule, reported that he has completed and distributed the servers' schedule through Easter Sunday. Parish Communicator - Bill Be. is in charge of the website. He reported that he has updated the vestry roster and the committee assignments. We have had 63 hits against the site since this update. He circulated the activity report. National holidays have been added and Warren's recipes have been updated. Bill wanted to know if anyone would object to publishing parishioners' birthdays (date not including year of birth) monthly on the site. Since most people come to the altar to celebrate their birthdays, it was decided that it would probably be OK. Bill has circulated or placed 263 Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper fliers. New Ministries - Sally had nothing concrete to report regarding developing new ministries. She has been internally brainstorming new programs. We still need to develop a new parish mission statement. Parish Events - Connie, reporting for ECW, noted that in January the ECW voted to fund up to $1500 for the purchase of a new copier for the office. She was assigned the position of Sanitation Receptacle Procurer to update the existing facility. In February the ECW voted to pay for the wiring revisions done by Bill Br. in the kitchen - about $85. These changes should relieve the problem of tripping circuit breakers under the heavy workloads occurring during the Pancake Supper and the Ham Dinner. The first big test will come tomorrow at the Pancake Supper! They are discussing the replacement of some of the kitchen windows with something more current and durable. They are also considering how to revise the parking lot entrance to make it more attractive. Parish Intern - Carol reported that nine people attended the first meeting of the Noontime Bible Study Group today. They have selected a course plan and will begin on it next week. The study will run through Lent. The Thursday Evening Group will have their first meeting this week. Three have signed up at this point. Jr. Warden: The report was given for Evelyn by Bill Br. since she was just coming up to speed. The project to widen the doorway from the Parish Hall into the restroom hallway was completed in January. As noted above, the wiring in the kitchen was updated to alleviate a chronic power failure problem. Two (unused) circuits were relocated from under the kitchen counters - one was moved to serve the new commercial duty coffee pot and the adjacent microwave oven and the other was moved to the west wall-south corner to serve the two roaster pans we use during the Pancake Supper and the Ham Dinner. Both of these circuits are 30 amp circuits - double the amperage of the circuits we have been using. Sr. Warden: Don researched a hand-held computer to recommend to the Rector for his personal use. Rector's Report: Fr. Ray has ordered books for use to train lay persons interested in obtaining their Lay Eucharistic Minister licenses. There are two levels of this ministry - one for serving the chalice at the Eucharist and one for carrying the host from the church and serving it to shut-ins and others unable to attend regular services at the church. There will be two classes, one for each of these ministries. Fr. Ray is still working on plans for the new window to be placed above the altar. He has contacted Dennis Widmer regarding the cost and planning for installation of the window. We are trying to find blueprints of the church (1957) in our archives to facilitate development of a plan and a cost for installation. Sally suggested that such drawings might be obtained from the county since they were probably submitted at the time of application for the building permit when the (new) church was built. Unfinished Business: Fr. Ray reported that we have a brand new copy machine in the office. It is warranted for three years. Fr. thanked ECW for buying this machine. He noted that they have been very generous to all his requests since he first came to the parish in 1979. He asked the Clerk of the Vestry to send them a letter of appreciation. The new banner has been blessed and placed into service. It was donated by Joan Wh. in honor of Fr. Ken and his service at St. Alban's. He noted that it is a lovely banner and that many hands made it happen. New Business: Fr. Ray welcomed the three new vestry members. He looks forward to working with them. He apologized to Evelyn for not notifying her that he was going to recommend her for the position of Jr. Warden which the vestry voted on at the January 23 meeting. The diocese has asked us to appoint Fr. Ray as the Priest in Charge instead of the Rector. After some dialog, Fr. Ray sent a letter to Bishop Itty stating ... my concern in being the rector versus the priest in charge is that a priest in charge is appointed by the bishop, and therefore the bishop could withdraw the appointment. As rector I am employed by the parish. It is in the best interest of the parish and me not to change my status. The parish received the Bishop's schedule of parish visitations for the upcoming year. On the schedule the Bishop is to be in Tillamook on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. Fr. will check to see if this is correct - we normally have no services scheduled on that day. It may have been a mistake in his schedule. Fr. Ray will give out new Committee assignments at the next meeting. Priscilla B. is supposed to get one Sunday a month off to enable her to attend the full service upstairs. We need to make sure that the schedule includes a monthly substitute teacher to serve on that Sunday. Fr. Ray asked what kind of services we wanted on Maundy Thursday. In the past we have joined with St. John's to do joint services. St. John's is now joining with United Methodist church. Some discussion ensued. Fr. Ray will revisit the issue at the end of the meeting. Fr. Ray asked if someone would take the opening prayer at the next meeting. Delena volunteered. Don asked if it might be possible to develop and publish an email address directory of parishioners. He will work with Bill B. to do this. Sally noted that things just seem to "happen" around the church and wanted to know if there was a person making them happen. e.g. planning, scheduling, and hosting the Second Saturday Supper, etc. Fr. Ray explained that people just come forward and volunteer to do things but that she might be interested in becoming our social coordinator. They will discuss it. Bill Be. noted that there is very little money in the music fund. We have solicited contributions but nobody has stepped forward. He asked if we should try more aggressively to get donations. Fr. Ray suggested that we have asked for many special offerings and contributions recently - Tsunami relief, Rector's Compensation Fund, Rector's Discretionary Fund, etc. - and that we just attempt to place reminders in the Grapevine and Sunday Bulletin and remind parishioners during announcements on Sundays and see what develops. Fr. Ray bought a new phone system for the church to remedy a communication problem between him and the Parish Secretary when they are not both in the office. Marilyn F. wondered if it was taking too long to pass the peace during services. Delena commented that she thought it was one of the most wonderful times in the service to see friends greeting and blessing one another in this way. The consensus was that it is fine but if it appears to get too prolonged, Fr. can move things along. Fr. Ray made the following decision regarding the Maundy Thursday Service - we will have a celebration of the Eucharist with Washing of Feet, Stripping of the Altar and the Agape Feast. Meeting adjourned at 8:35 PM. Respectfully submitted, William S. Br. Clerk of the Vestry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vestry Meeting January 23, 2005 Members Present: Don, Marilyn F, Bill Be, Connie, Margaret, Sally, Delena, Fr.

The minutes of the last meeting were dropped in absence of clerk. Treasurer’s report Year end totals $4168 Monday Night Supper -$57 Music Fund $914 Rector’s Compensation fund $121 Heifer Project We have 32 Planned gifts for $44,248 in the Operating Budget, 4,694 Rector’s Compensation Fund and 2,070 for the Music Fund. Last year’s total was 39 for $48,648 Rector’s stipend is $38,600 If we don’t get more pledges we will have to pull $4,650 to meet budget Hopefully we will only have to pay $200.00 in unemployment. Motion was made by Bill Br,and Seconded by Sally to accept budget and present to annual meeting. Need to have another motion to raise Fr. Ray’s stipend. John Sandusky moved and seconded by Connie. Motion carried. Walt had Fr. Ray sign the contract. He said majority of people who did not pledge had moved out of town or had illness in family. While Treasurer was still here Fr. Ray wanted to talk about copy machines. One machine is dead. The other is at least 10 years old. Fr. Ray, Dave and Marilyn looked at copy machines. A. Canon Image Runner 1. Purchase price $1610 Canon Image Runner 1630 2. Lease price $70.68 for 24 months. 3. Service Contract .02 cents per copy per month up to 500 copies 4. Bare bones copy machine. We probably use more copies than 500 a month. B. Kyocara MitaDigital System 1. Purchase Price is $4,075 Kyocera Mita Digital System 2. Lease price is $81.09 for 60 months. 3. Service Contract is .015 cents per copy no maximum. 4. Not a table machine. Just a basic copy machine without any of the extras. The feeling is that we were maxed out on different “funds”. Walt said the only option is money market or roof fund but not a good option either. John brought up the idea of getting one from PUD which was offered to CARE. It is a used machine but in good condition. John will check it out. Connie so moved and Marilyn seconded. Motion carried. John suggested it was a miracle while Bill Br. suggested it was a copy of a miracle. Fr. Ray got a letter from Sunset Convocation detailing how they gave money and food to Oregon Food Bank. Convocation wants $100.00 from each Parish to total $1000. They got $2700 and 375 pounds of food. Comments from Vestry were that there was a lot of money spent for little amount of food. Vestry suggested that Fr. Ray tell Convocation we give to the CARE regional Food Bank in Tillamook which is part of the Oregon Food Bank. John suggested that the Senior Warden write the letter. Fr. Ray appointed him to write the letter. Sally asked Carol how many people have signed up for Bible Study. She has about 6. Committee Reports. Don did schedule for Reading through January Bill Br. reports that now that he is back he can work on the downstairs door. Bill Be. that he couldn’t find everything on Elmer’s Flag and Banner website for our new banner. He hopes to have it finished by annual meeting. Connie reported that ECW did Memorial Coffee for Phyllis Place. Few problems except coffee maker needs to be started earlier for large groups. Carolyn asked if Vestry needed anything. Connie will take matter of copy machine to ECW. We talked briefly about costs of doing coffee after a funeral. Sally and Marilyn need to meet for Mission Statement. Carol said everything was wonderful as Parish Intern. John thought it was his job to research copy machines so he did some research. It’s redundant now. Rector’s Report. The 11:00 PM Christmas Eve service was larger than 7:00 PM service this year. This was a turnaround. Unfinished Business: Donita wasn’t here to report on new Vestry members. Delana is for sure a candidate for Vestry. Larry, Laurie and Margaret maybe maybe. Bill Br., Ev and Donita all leave. Fr. Ray thanks Bill Br., Ev and Donita for their service to the Vestry and Parish. Sally asked if Fr. Ray had anything for Lay Eucharistic Minister. Fr. Ray needs to order the books and have people read sections, meet and be trained and licensed.

Absent: Donita P.; Sally was excused early due to another meeting. Opening Prayer: Father Ray Minutes of Last Meeting: The minutes for the meeting of April 5 were approved with appropriate typo corrections (“…Monday Supper money.” and “Ev and Priscilla B…” Treasurer's Report: The vestry reviewed the Treasurer’s Financial Report for the period 3-1-04 through 3-31-04. Comments by the Treasurer included: 1) The month of March appears to be a bad month with Total Inflows of $5,903 and Total Outflows of $10,072; the principle reason for the vast difference is the payment of the annual insurance bill ($3,858). 2) The Music Fund balance is $105 and an appeal has been made in the Grapevine for additional contributions. 3) The Monday Night Supper Fund is doing well at $2,200 which includes the recent purchase of a refrigerator. 4) The Trust Fund balance stands at $105,424. 5) Bills received for elevator repair are on hold until Father Ray and Bill Br. discuss the matter with Dave Bierson Enterprises. 6) Walt added that as a follow-up to the discussion of a salary increase for Fr. Ray at the April 5 meeting, he recommends an effective date of July 1. To move this forward, John S. made a motion to increase Father Ray’s compensation to $28,500 effective July 1, 2004, and authorize the creation of a Rector’s Compensation Fund to meet that need. The motion was seconded by Connie N. and unanimously approved. Parish members may designate monies toward this fund immediately. Committee Reports: Connie N. – Parish Events Liaison with ECW 1) Connie stated that she and Priscilla Brown attended an ECW Spirituality Day at Saint Bartholomew in Beaverton. The program was interesting and informative. 2) Father Ray added that ECW hosted a reception following Rachel Fosmark’s memorial service and it was extremely well done. Rachel’s family was very pleased. Marilyn F. – Mission Statement; Parish Ministry and Outreach Programs 1) Marilyn stated that she has started on a mission statement. She will be meeting with Sally. Don S. – Worship Schedule 1) Don reported that a schedule of readings through the end of the summer has been issued to all concerned. Bill Be. – Parish Communications; Publicity & Website Coordination 1) Concerning the Ham Dinner on Tuesday, May 4, all appears to be in readiness. There are several vacancies in the work groups due to injuries and people being away but it should all work out. 2) Bill added that he believes we will have inspectors from the Health Department this year but we are ready in the event they pay us a visit. 3) Apparently someone permanently borrowed 4 or 5 of our new coffee servers. We had 14 or 15 but are now down to 11 plus the 5 new ones purchased this year. They are pricey at approximately $28 each. It is recommended we store them in the locked room rather than in the pantry. 4) Over 200 flyers have been distributed for the ham dinner and we should have a good turn out. 5) Bill concluded his report by stating that this will be his last year as Chairperson of the event. It is time to pass the torch and now that a manual has been written outlining procedures, it should be a much easier event to chair. The Vestry will need to find a new chairperson for 2005. EV B. – 1) Ev reported that he and Bill Br. spent a full day installing the new door at the accessible entrance to the church. The door works well and, in fact, works better than any time we’ve had a door there in the past. Bill Br. – Junior Warden 1) Bill reported that the sink faucet in the kitchen has been fixed and the new coffee machine has been installed. 2) We are having continuing elevator problems and he and Father Ray will be contacting the elevator company concerning this. 3) The two accessible bathroom doors will be installed before the floor tile goes in. Bill has talked with Jeff W. and they are planning to install the doors in early June. 4) Father Ray stated the parking lot project will start during the month of July. 5) Bill praised Ev, Priscilla and Joan S. on how good the yard looks. A lot of hard work went into it. John S. – Senior Warden 1) John had no report; however it was mentioned that the Sexual Abuse Prevention Training has been scheduled for May 22. Also, Ev will be attending Convocation. Rector’s Report 1) Father Ray stated that he followed up on the suggestion for Lay Eucharist Ministries (LEMs) and he has requested a manual from the diocese. There are two categories of LEM, LEM 1 which covers administering the chalice and LEM 2 which covers taking communion out into the community. Upon receipt of the manual, Father Ray will be more than happy to train anyone who would like to participate in this service. 2) Father Ray discussed a new worship committee, which will be asked to develop different ideas for the church service other than just what comes from the prayer book and hymnal. As an example, this Sunday we will sing a special hymn after the homily that will carry the same theme. Marilyn F. added that young people are looking for a place where they can go and join in singing some “uplifting music”. Father Ray suggested that perhaps we can have a folk mass once in a while; we’re not out to change everything but we can introduce some new ideas. He will meet with Don S. concerning setting up a committee. Unfinished Business: 1) Connie questioned scheduling of the UTO Offering and it was agreed to schedule it for the second Sunday of June, June 13. Information will be provided for the Grapevine. New Business: 1) Father Ray and Bill Br. will contact Dave Bierson Enterprises concerning the elevator problems. 2) John S. stated that the CARE Regional Food Bank has a walk-in freezer in the Catholic High School building. They would like to recondition it and move it to the new warehouse at 4th and Laurel. It will take $4,000 or $5,000 to do this. John added that funding is available through a Diocese fund for the poor and homeless. Following a short discussion and on a motion by Bill Br., seconded by Ev B., unanimous approval was given to proceed with the project. Good Of The Order: 1) Marilyn F. stated that we ran out of church bulletins on Sunday, even though 50 were made up and it did not appear we had that many attending church. Father Ray will check on what might have happened to the programs. Adjournment: There being no further business, on a motion by Bill Br., seconded by Ev B., the meeting was adjourned.
