Old/New Business:
- HVAC for office and upper Room walk thru is completed ($51K) and letter to

and needs replacing. Additional information from FO Baker- There are 2 HVAC
systems for the building, the 2 upper units have a cracked heat exchanger and
the lower one is still working. To replace the heat exchangers, it would be
approx. $2200 and there is a 12-week backlog on these. The cost to replace the
unit for a ductless would be $7000, this is under further investigation, but needs
to be completes by end of October. Otherwise, there is no heat for the upstairs

buy a new Heat Pump and Ductless unit.
