Gas heater in the administration building. Steve Ellis volunteered to draft a master map drawing of Calvary's campus. This will be on the largest paper our printer can handle. We will copy individual maps for things like Emergency Gas, Electric, Water Shut off and Earthquake/Fire evacuation routs. Four illuminated EXIT signs were installed in the pre-school rooms to bring us into Fire Code compliance for the P.S. expansion to 36 children. The holes in the sidewalk in front of the parish hall have been filled with patch cement. The cracked and displaced concrete in the patio area at the top of the steps next to the booth constituted a tripping hazard. The damaged area was removed and high strength concrete patch material applied eliminating the hazard. Weeds growing in the cracks in the parking/playground area have been sprayed (this is an ongoing problem). The parking lot needs some serious attention and if not addressed soon it will be lost and will be more expensive to replace. Have been working with Toni on the KEY situation to get the paperwork and records to reflect what we have: There are two styles of door key the old butterfly and the new flat style. We also have a gate and various keys to lockers and cabinets. We have three cuts to the door key: Master which opens all doors. General which opens doors to areas which are deemed not to need restricted access.(pastors, principle, ect.) Door specific which will only open designated locks these are for outside groups using Calvary's facilities. (parish hall, new dimension singers, other congregations) The gate key opens all master pad locks. Have requested a list from Fred for all school persons who have keys and/or will need them. Need a similar list from the Church side. Karla has a partial list that needs to be updated and reconciled with Mr. Stroms. Mr. Strom who for many years has been Calvary's keeper of the keys; He has expressed a desire to continue doing so. I will work with lee to bring the records and control of the keys up to date. August 16 has been set as work party day to ready the school for the new year this needs to be promoted in Church and by the School for Parent Partition hours Calvary is blessed with people who have taken on many of the small maintenance tasks necessary to keep our operation going. I am going to make a list of these people and build on it to include more members of the Congregation and School families . In His Service Frank Mitchell Property Chairperson
