Discussion Items
- Reopening review
The pros and cons of opening any part of BUUF to group use was discussed. It was decided by a motion that gatherings of 10 or fewer people would be allowed in outdoor spaces of BUUF. Physical distancing and use of masks are required.
- Change to the Employment contract for Rev. Sara
A rider to the contract was requested to allow for flexibility in the number of sermons required during the covid pandemic. The Board agreed to the rider; a Board member will draft contract language to be reviewed during the September Board meeting.
