New Business:
· Roof allocation (Brandon Gabbard)
o In order to avoid anticipated material cost increases roofing contractor, HKC, is recommending we accept the bid for new kitchen roof and pay a $11,000 deposit. This will lock in material cost and work can be completed when Trinity is ready to proceed at a later date.

o Rebecca Gensler stated deposit can come from donated funds for kitchen renovation.
o Motion by Katie Davidson: “Move to accept the contract and spend donated funds for $11,000 deposit.”

· BOR Trustee Draft Policy Discussion and Next Steps (Rebecca Gensler)
o Rebecca Gensler proposed creating an ad hoc committee between the BOR and the vestry to:
§ Determine best term limit options

o Discussion:
