Notes from Special Council Meeting of Trinity Lutheran Church 8/22/2021

Called to order 10:55 am.
Members present:  David Martin, Jeff Niedenthal, Daniel Cannon, Jake Boonstra, Richard Larson.
Agenda:

1. Potential Lease agreement with Kristle Chase

Motion made Jeff, second by Dan to form a sub-committee to negotiate a lease agreement similar to the document discussed at the last regular council meeting, except to include an initial rent expense which will escalate.

Discussion was held.  David has visited with our property/liability insurance agent and a company underwriter with the question, “If we are covered, do we need additional coverage and how much would that cost?”  David said the amount quoted was $50 additional premium per year.

Additional discussion was had concerning the acceptance of this idea by the general congregation.  The council noted this concern but felt a majority of the congregation would support leasing out an office space for the services Ms. Chase will perform for the community.  Other discussion was had concerning if this action would set a precedence that a future lease would take advantage of.

​Since no final action will be made until the regular council meeting set for September, the question was called.
​
Motion carried by a vote of 4-1.
Motion by Jeff, seconded by Dan to adjourn the meeting, Carried. 11:23 am.
