*Motion made (20210318-3)
“In recognition of, and with gratitude for more than 16 years of faithful service as Choir Director, and now Music Director for the Fellowship, the Board would like to give Carrie Bastian the Hallet & Davis baby grand piano which she has maintained on our behalf, as a bonus, with an additional cash bonus of $724 to defray the income and payroll tax on the bonus.”
Discussion Items
- Reopening
Some metrics for limited reopening of indoor spaces are at or close to the parameters set, and the staff is ready to reopen.
To allow time to see if the metrics are consistent with the downward trend and for all parameters to be met, the Board will wait until the March Board meeting to decide about reopening the indoor spaces.
The cadence of making decisions regarding reopening will be changed from possible change every two weeks to a possible change once a month; this allows for the Board to discuss and decide during regular monthly Board meetings.
- Bylaws Update
The following items were reviewed:
- Member/congregational meetings including: avenues of voting and quorums and voting thresholds.
- Board member removal process.
