Vote to continue administrative support for KSSN $1200/yr.: The Board approved continuing administrative support Kitsap Safe Schools Network. Previously, $1200 of income for this came from KSSN; this vote mean that KUUF will absorb that cost. Many thanks to Tanesha Smith for agreeing to do this.
Private use of Memorial Garden by non-member for small wedding in August: At this time, the Board does not believe it to be safe or prudent to open the Fellowship for any events.
Protocol for dealing with emergency calls. The Executive Board, together with Ed Woods and Paul Wilson, met with Kitsap Fire and Safety, our security company, to review our present system. KFS checked out our systems in the Sanctuary, Administration building, and Easter Seals, and recommended replacement of a few parts. We are waiting for a proposal to enhance our system with cameras place in both parking lots. The video from these cameras would be available to Board and staff to review, should alarms go off. The Sanctuary sensors were tuned very high, which has resulted in false alarms. We also need to update our posted contacts for calling in the case of accidental triggering of the alarm.
Plans for developing a Ways and Means Committee update on auction: Terry reported that our Auction is on! The auction committee met with a representative from the Olympia UU Fellowship, who shared ideas from their very successful auction this year.
Possible Raise the Paddle recipients: Board was asked to begin thinking of appropriate recipients.
The suggestion was made to ask the Fun and Frolic Committee to evolve into the Fun and Fundraising Committee, tasked with coming up with creative ways of producing income. (Calendar, cookbook…) Lisa will speak with Ginny Sugimoto, Fun and Frolic’s chair.
Thank you notes and Good of the Order
