Vestry Reports
Bettyrene Pope, Interim Chair for the Finance Committee, explained the Finance Committee to the Vestry Elect.
Bill Boyer explained the finance reports.
Bettyrene Pope presented the proposed church budget for 2012. Bill Boyer, The Rev. Dr. Hogg, Bettyrene Pope, and Bob Harper explained how the budget was developed. After discussion, the Vestry requested the finance committee restore $5000 to Outreach and $2500 to Programs. Bob Harper moved the 2012 budget be approved as amended and presented to the congregation. Mark Stephens seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Bob Harper asked the Vestry to review a recommendation the Finance Committee put to the Vestry in their report (paragraph 5). The recommendation is that the church pays only for the employee’s medical insurance. The employee’s dental and other additional medical and/or dental for other family members are at the cost of the employer and can be deducted from salary. If this policy impacts any present employees it will begin on the next anniversary date of their employment.
Bettyrene Pope gave the Renovation Report. Besides the written Renovation Committee Report, Bettyrene briefed the need to proceed with preliminary design work for the renovation of the tower, the addition of an electrical room, and seeking city approvals on the work. Bettyrene made a motion that the design work and city approvals be sought pending the availability of funds. The motion passed unanimously.
Billy Einselen had three items for the Vestry. First she asked the Vestry to be familiar with the details of the tower renovation, the addition to the North Vestibule, and the work therein (Referred to as Stage II of the renovation) before borrowing monies for the project. Second, she reported that Mr. Jim Shoemaker sent her an email stating that he believes Mr. Robert Shuford is attempting to line up funding or a loan for Stage II. Lastly, she reports the Renovation Committee is split 4/4 regarding how the addition to the North Vestibule is to be used. (This paragraph was added after a February 14th telephone follow-up call for clarification of guest’s remarks.)
New Business
Bob Harper explained that any additional renovation to the church may require an aggressive effort to raise capital. The question before the Vestry is whether to proceed with a capital campaign. Discussion will continue at a special Vestry meeting to be held before at 5:00-5:15pm before the Pancake Supper on February 21, 2012.

Finance Committee Report to Vestry February 7, 2012 The Finance Committee met on February 1, 2012 with eight members present. The update on the pledge report was that we have 130 pledges for a total of $336,379. We received a request from Outreach to have a special designated offering envelope during the month of March. This would help fund the feeding program such as DNLP (Downtown Lunch Program) and Night’s Welcome. With no objection, the committee agreed to allow the use of the special envelope in March. The next order of business was the draft budget which we began reviewing again and checking to see if there were items that could be reduced. E. T. Lawson will be asked for a discount on the fuel since our systems have been replaced. Further work needs to be done and any suggestions to Bill will be helpful. Bill and Peter will also review the budget. A chairman was needed to head the Finance Committee. Although Bettyrene will go off as Junior Warden, she volunteered and was approved to become the Chairman pending Vestry approval and will serve as an atlarge member of the committee. Due to the change in the Vestry meeting, the Finance Committee met on February 6, 2012 with eight members present. The meeting focused on being able to prepare a budget to present to the Vestry at their meeting on February 7, 2012. The committee members went line by line discussing pros and cons about reducing where possible, keeping things the same or making some small increase. Items were consolidated within like expenditures. Recommendation: St. John’s is putting the following procedure in place and asks the vestry’s vote on it. It was moved and seconded, and voted upon favorably that the medical insurance be paid for the employees only. If family members are on the policy, the employee pays the additional premiums. The employee pays for their own dental insurance. A motion was made, seconded, and voted upon favorably to present this refined budget to the Vestry on February 7, 2012. Bettyrene Pope, Recorder

Renovation Committee Report Vestry Meeting February 7, 2012 The Renovation Committee met on January 26, 2012 with ten members present. A status report was given concerning the stained glass windows. Gene Higgins gave us a ten-year warranty on the work he had done on the windows. There was a walk through in Oct. to show where places needed repair and the workers came before Christmas- repainted and recaulked places that had been identified. They are on board, if we get into the church renovation to provide protectives for the stained glass windows. Michael Surveying and Mapping have received the needed documents from the Court House ad weather permitting will begin the mapping in the near future. E. T. Lawson completed their project and it was inspected completely top to bottom by John Chiasson. The work was completed in a timely manner and to John’s satisfaction. Two trees will be removed from the cemetery. The poplar tree in the center of the cemetery and the magnolia tree near the Hoffman House are scheduled for their demise the week of March 31st. Suggestions were made from Stage 1 of the church work that the new attic access ladder be modified; certain knob and tube wiring on the 2nd and 3rd floor be addressed, and smoke detectors be installed in the attic. These projects are in the works. Recommendations will be presented from the Renovation Committee following this report. Bettyrene Pope

Junior Warden’s Report February 7, 2012 Oh, I see a light or two is missing! Lights bulbs have been replaced as usual. Jack and I have been busy painting and having carpet put down in the Choir Room. Stop by to see the new room! You might want to wait a few days until Deborah gets things located in their appropriate places. A commode was fixed. We are anticipating moving things around in the office in the near future. Watch for the changes. Bettyrene Pope, Junior Warden (Jack and John, too)
