President Marcel Moreau proposed that instead of building a 2nd home, that the offering at Church of the Nativity not be
held this year. The Construction Director did not think Bob Corsi would agree to this proposal. The following areas
were covered for building a 2nd home in June 2016:
(1) Financial:
(a) With $76K estate gift known, Bob needs to indicate that ACC is building 2nd Home at VA Offering on 9-10 Jan
16.
(b) $76K gift and VA offering need arrive on separate checks and significantly before deployment. (No legal
estate tie-ups.)
(c) Bob needs to provide the name of family estate for our tax return.
(d) $100K limit in revenue will be exceeded, requiring going to the longer IRS Form 990 (rather than the 990-EZ)
(e) Even with building the 2nd Home, the surplus will still grow.
(f) Good Shepherd Chapel needs to maintain separate account for each home.
(g) Advance payment to Harry for material ordering will at least double.
(2) Crew Volunteers:
(a) Some increases in crew sizes may be needed but we did two homes in 2007, with 28 total volunteers.
(b) Building Crew will need to stay until at least the end of 2nd week (11 Jun).
(c) Supplementing Crew with local KY volunteers would help, particularly with the 2nd Home finishing in the 3rd
week.
(3) Floor Plans: Develop 2 separate plans based on home orientation and family desires.
(4) Bill of Materials: Develop to 2 separate lists for Bellevue materials, Lumber King and Lowe’s in Somerset.
(5) Berthing at St. Joe‘s:
(a) Could exceed the 30-bed limit of St. Joe’s Inn with sleeping bags at times.
(b) Extend reservation from Wed, 15 Jun to Wed, 22 Jun for 2nd Home Finish Crew.
(6) Food:
(a) Extend Food Crew to the end of the 2nd week (11 Jun).
(b) Extend menu plan to 11 Jun.
(c) May need to increase budget.
(d) Still do one dinner with both families and Crew on the night of Tues, 7 Jun.
(7) Building Schedules and Site Locations:
(a) Two home sites need to be in same general area for easy personnel transfers.
(b) Harry and his crew need two build two foundation/floors by June 2016.
(c) ACC frames and encloses 1st Home for Monday Rough-in inspection on 6 Jun.
(d) ACC finishes 1st Home while 2nd Home is framed and enclosed for Monday Rough-in inspection on 13 Jun.
(e) Plumbing, electrical and HVAC subcontractors need to meet both Monday Rough-in inspections dates.
(f) 2nd Finish Crew volunteers show up on Tues, 14 Jun to finish 2nd Home thru 22 Jun with local KY volunteers.
