GATEWAYS FACILITIES – THE “JOURNEY”

1. GATEWAYS FACILITIES – THE “JOURNEY”

2. Agenda • Facilities Presentation and Purpose • Where we’ve been • Progress this year • A recommendation for your consideration • Small Group Break Out Discussions • Next Steps • Note: Authorization/voting comes later

3. STRATEGIC PLAN – OUR FACILITIES SHOULD: • Support Our Mission and Vision • Enable our key ministries and our growth initiatives by providing adequate space for: • Worship • Life Span RE • Social Events ,Meetings and Functions • Administrative Offices • Be safe and accessible • Be welcoming • Be well maintained and clean

4. Last Year, We Explored The “Three Options” • Option 1 – “Stay and renovate” • Option 2 – “Buy raw land and build from scratch” • Option 3 – “Buy an existing building and re-purpose for church use”

5. JUNE 2012 DECISION: STAY!… but what now??!!

6. First - The Progress This Year • Obtained a new ALTA survey for the property with elevations (topographical) • Electronic ‘CAD’ files, already in use by other professionals • Schommer Engineering selected to design parking lot and storm water management • Fania Roofing completed forensic examination of roof (more on this later) • Multiple meetings with the Board

7. Reality Check – OMG!Our Needs Exceed Our Budget! • Likely > $4 million total! • 2 Story Chapel over “church basement” - $2 million (w/o elevators and bathrooms) • Elevators and fire isolated stairwell - $850,000 • Complete new RE Complex $1 million • Parking Lot - $830,000 • Roof and maintenance ?!

8. Guidance from the Board: “Success would be a plan to accommodate our long term success and not just the immediately foreseeable future.” Phasing is both acceptable and necessary.

9. Threshold Congregation Research on Facilities Priorities • Visitors can always find parking spaces • Restrooms are conveniently located and adequate for a crowd • Space for infants and young children is clean and designed to meet their needs • Ditto for youth • Comfortable accessible seating available at every Service

10. Current Needs Assessment

11. Proposed Phase 1 • Parking Lot • Because we have to • And it’s the right thing to do • Roof – Ditto • Remainder for discretionary spending • Let’s explore each item

12. My Parking Lot Ministry Tanya Van Order • Current peak usage is 128 cars w/30 on the street • Only 75 spots in current lot • Neighbors and Fire Marshal object to on-street parking

13. A Parking Lot … And So Much More Required Elements: Parking is a Regulatory Requirement! • Hard surface, curb and gutter • Landscaping plan • Lighting plan • Storm water runoff management plan • NO New Water Into Storm Sewers!

14. My Roof Journey – Helene Ferm • Root cause of failure per forensic report • Nails too short • Wooden nailing strips failing • Brittle tiles • Poor snow/water management

15. Roof Construction

16. Roof Options • Conclusion – Repairing is not a long term solution • Replace w/tiles = $1M • Replace w/asphalt = ~$200-300K • Budgeting $200K for this expense • Will re explore historic preservation grant • Interim stabilization $$ may be required

17. What else might we accomplish in Phase 1? Balancing remaining funds against our biggest needs: • Social space for public gathering • ADA Bathrooms • Do something for RE

18. Interior View Architect’s Rendition

19. This“Fellowship Hall” is packed with many features we need

21. Elevation View – North & West

22. Alternative Exterior Finish

23. North View Architect’s Rendition

24. South View Architect’s Rendition

25. Courtyard View – Architect’s Rendition

26. Smaller Items we could also consider • Refresh the Sanctuary • New softer chairs • New carpet • Sound system • Visual elements • Wired smoke detectors in all RE classrooms • Convert kitchen into new main office

27. Some Green Opportunities • Ground Water recharge via new parking lot • A Landscape Plan • Required for parking lot • So, let’s replace some other trees! • EIFS – like a thermal blanket around a building's exterior

28. Phase 2 – A new Sanctuary

29. Preliminary Parking Layout – About 146 spaces in upper lots

30. Process for Break Out Sessions • Break into groups of 6-10 • We will process 3 key questions – about 10 minutes for each • For each question, your group should develop a list of its top 3 comments • Your facilitator will record your results • Results will be “grouped” by similar content for large group discussion

31. Ground Rules for Breakout Sessions • Stay on topic • Listen – allow people to finish • “Step forward – Step back” • Respect each other – any disagreement should be with ideas, not people • No one of us is as smart as all of us! • Everyone should feel heard and respected

32. Next Steps • Email additional input to imagine@muuf.org • Annual Meeting – 6/2/2013 • Data summary provided at Annual Meeting • Confirm direction and pre capital campaign work • 2013 Fellowship year • Granular presentation on proposal • Vote to proceed with Capital Campaign to fund proposal • Commence parking lot construction – summer of 2014 (best case scenario)

33. Thank You!

34. Summary – Phase 1 • Parking Lot • Roof (exactly what depends on historical grant issues) • New Fellowship Hall • with 2 modern RE classrooms and • Plenty of ADA bathrooms • Refurbish Sanctuary • Wired smoke detectors in all RE classrooms • Convert kitchen into new main office • Landscaping and tree renewal project
