Q: Why are we doing this?

A: In response to Town Hall meeting almost two years ago the overwhelming sentiment
for the number one priority was the need for larger, newer restrooms

Q: Where is the money coming from?

A: Funding will come from our Unspent Ministry Fund which has $260,000 of available funds. Additionally, the unrestricted net proceeds from the sale of the Village Campus of $1.62 million are available.

Q: Will it be a phased project? IE: doing one hallway at a time or will it all be under construction at the same time?

A: The plan is for a phased approach to allow for one side of restrooms to still be available. Those rooms impacted by construction will either be closed (Parlor & Prayer
Room) or relocated (Handbell Room) during their respective phase of construction. While under construction, each hallway will be blocked off.

Q: What happened to the Capital Needs Improvement plans shared in the Town Hall Meeting in early 2020?

A: They are still in our possession but there is an indefinite hold on them due to the Covid season and the need to build back our growth. We have plans to continue to
update some capital needs currently. Some projects like replacing windows, painting,
and Preschool flooring updates are currently in process.

Q: Will the bathrooms be upgraded for higher toilets, counters, etc.?

A: All new features and fixtures will be ADA compliant.

Q: What about security for the Preschool Halls during the construction project?

A: There will be a temporary barrier to prevent access to the second floor Preschool Hall
for safety and security.
