St. Andrew's Facilities Team Seeking New Leadership

Don Koch, Convenor of the Facilities Team has blessed St. Andrew’s with his leadership of the Team for a number of years and, as a congregation, we owe him much gratitude for his tireless work on our behalf. Thank you, Don! Unfortunately, Don will be retiring from this position shortly. The Convenor’s role and responsibilities have now been divided into a shared role by a Convenor and a Vice-Convenor, as described in more detail below, and St. Andrew’s seeks to fill both roles.
In general, the Facilities Team is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of our church building and surrounding property. It is a well-established Team with at least 8 regular members. The responsibilities of the Team include development of an annual capital plan to budget for scheduled repairs and improvements. The Facilities Team negotiates contracts with outside contractors for building maintenance, yard maintenance, snow removal, waste and recycling pickup, and utilities. The Team also manages use of space agreements with groups and individuals who meet in our building.
