THE NEXT MEETING OF THE VESTRY
OF THE CHAPEL OF THE CROSS
WILL BE ON THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 2015
IN THE PARISH LIBRARY
with supper at 6:00 p.m.
and the business session to begin at 6:30 p.m.
Draft Minutes of the Vestry of the Chapel of the Cross
19 March 2015
The March meeting of the Vestry was held in the Yates Conference Room on Thursday,
March 19, 2015. Vestry members present were James Moeser (Sr. Warden), Eugene Dauchert
(who arrived at 6:05 p.m. because of having been caught in traffic due to an accident on I-40),
Neil Pedersen, Heather Benjamin, Brian Coggins, MaryBeth Grealey, Barbara Day, Katherine
Kopp, Martha Schütz, and Ted Vaden. Also present were Stephen Elkins-Williams (Rector),
John Pegram (Treasurer), and Nancy Kelly (Clerk).
The Rector presided and opened the meeting at 5:30 p.m., the time of the meeting having
been changed to accommodate the UNC first-round game in the NCAA tournament, scheduled
for 7:20 p.m. this evening.
Bible Study
Mr. Pedersen led the Bible study. The Gospel reading appointed for the day, the Feast of
St. Joseph, was Matthew 1: 18-25.
Approval of Minutes
2
The following correction was made to the minutes of the Vestry meeting of February 19:
p. 2, second paragraph under Finance Committee, correct “the Annual Frund” to
“the Annual Fund”
It was moved by Mr. Moeser, seconded by Mrs. Day, and passed
unanimously, that the Vestry approve the minutes of the meeting of February 19, as
amended.
Finance Committee
Attached is the report of the Finance Committee.
Mr. Pedersen explained the section of the Finance Committee’s report on Request for
Funds to the Transferred to the Johnson Service Corps. This issue arose when Mr. Vaden made a
request of the Finance Committee to transfer the $30,000 in funds promised to the Johnson
Service Corps (formerly known as the Johnson Intern Program) in a 2005 gift of $180,000 from
Jim Crow to the parish. The gift was originally earmarked for the Chapel Organ Fund, but Mr.
Crow then asked that $150,000 be designated to the Development Fund of the Capital Campaign
and $30,000 to the Johnson Intern Program, and this request was formalized in a 2008 agreement
between Mr. Crow and Gary Monroe, the Treasurer at that time. The gift was originally intended
to reduce the debt on the chapel organ, which was to be funded, in part, from the gift of another
parishioner of $270,000 in an irrevocable trust to be forwarded to the parish upon the death of the
parishioner. Since that annuity has not yet been received, the Finance Committee concluded that
the $30,000 requested by the Johnson Service Corps should not be transferred at this time. The
Finance Committee does want to make certain that the Vestry is aware of this arrangement and to
affirm that the $30,000 should be transferred to the Johnson Service Corps upon receipt of the
annuity.
3
Mr. Vaden responded by stating that he appreciates the serious consideration of the
request for accelerated payment of the $30,000. He then provided some background information
about the request and subsequent developments. He originally submitted the request to the Sr.
Warden and the Chair of the Finance Committee when the Johnson Service Corps was
experiencing some financial problems. Since then, however, the organization has received two
donations in the amount of $5000 each, with the hope for matching funds. Also, Mr. Vaden met
with Bishop Curry, who has committed diocesan funds of $10,000 annually for three years.
Mr. Elkins-Williams added that the diocese also will help the Johnson Service Corps to
re-apply for a Jessie Ball duPont grant. The grant would be for the diocese, which in turn would
forward it to the Johnson Service Corps.
Mr. Moeser suggested that it would be useful to have Mr. Vaden make an informational
presentation on the Johnson Service Corps to the new Vestry. This will be scheduled for some
time after the new Vestry members have officially taken office.
Mr. Pedersen then addressed the section of the report on February Financial Report. He
stated that the latest budget figure puts pledges at $1,406,000. He said that the Finance
Committee will re-visit the budget at its April meeting and have a recommendation for a revised
budget, if necessary, to present to the Vestry on April 16.
Treasurer
Attached are the Treasurer’s Report and the Combined Balance Sheets as of February 28,
2015.
Mr. Pegram reminded the Vestry that only 99% of the pledge total will be budgeted.
Referring to the previous discussion about the $30,000 to be transferred to the Johnson
Service Corps upon receipt of the annuity, Mr. Pegram explained that the amounts cited in the
4
budget are estimates. On p. 1 of the balance sheets, the line item Discounted Beneficial Interest
in Assets Held by Others (in the Assets section) shows $202,463. On p. 4, under the Program
Fund line item Chapel Organ, the figure is ($46,536). If the annuity were received today in the
amount of $270,000 and the promised $30,000 were transferred to the Johnson Service Corps, it
would leave less than is owed to be applied to the organ debt.
Addendum
All items are to remain on the list, pending completion.
Celebration Committee
The report of the Celebration Committee is attached.
Mr. Vaden highlighted several of the celebrations planned for the remainder of Mr.
Elkins-Williams tenure as Rector. A video about Mr. Elkins-Williams and the parish will be
prepared for presentation at the September 27 parish barbecue. Local photographer Lance
Richardson will take a photo portrait of Mr. Elkins-Williams. Parishioner David Brown, a
professional journalist, will compile and edit a book of Mr. Elkins-Williams’ sermons. Mrs. Day
suggested that the committee might explore outside funding, perhaps by the National Church, for
the book of sermons.
Reflection on Annual Meeting
Mr. Elkins-Williams asked the Vestry to comment on their reactions to the recent Annual
Meeting.
Mr. Moeser re-emphasized that the date of the Annual Meeting needs to be secured on
the master calendar of the parish as soon as possible. Mr. Coggins relayed the concern of the Sr.
5
Choir that they would like to be able to attend the meeting, which is impossible when the meeting
is held between the 9:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. services, as this is rehearsal time for them. Mr.
Elkins-Williams added that this is also true for Church School teachers. Mr. Moeser raised the
concern about having the meeting during UNC spring break, as was the case this year. Mrs.
Schütz said that some parishioners would like to see a designated date set for the Annual
Meeting, which would help individuals to plan around it. Mr. Pegram said that setting the Annual
Meeting for a time prior to the spring equinox would avoid a conflict with Easter. It was also
pointed out that the meeting needs to be held at a time that would allow for the books to be closed
on the previous year’s budget.
Mr. Elkins-Williams said that he felt that meeting in the Great Hall produced a more
relaxed atmosphere.
Mr. Vaden commended Mr. Moeser on his wonderful job on reporting on the transition
process.
Ms. Benjamin asked about the voting process and level of participation. Mr. Dauchert
reported that there were more than 350 ballots cast. Mr. Elkins-Williams said that in the past,
there were only about 300 ballots cast, so this year’s new process resulted in increased
participation.
Mr. Moeser spoke of one issue that arose from the new process. Ballots were mailed to
all parishioners who are adult, confirmed communicants. Mr. Elkins-Williams reported that this
year several individuals asked why they didn’t receive a ballot, saying that they pledge to the
parish and consider themselves parishioners. Mr. Elkins-Williams said that there is a specific
definition of “adult, confirmed communicant” and asked if perhaps they had not transferred their
membership from another church. Ms. Benjamin suggested that perhaps more attention needs to
be paid to merging the database for membership and the database for sending pledge packets,
which are sent to everyone, whether officially a member or not.
6
Mr. Dauchert called it remarkable that four candidates were elected without the need for
a run-off ballot. He added that few ballots included votes for fewer than the four maximum
allowed.
Mr. Elkins-Williams told the Vestry that on Saturday night he called all of the candidates
to let them know whether or not they had been elected. He also informed them that there were
four candidates who received a majority of votes cast. Mrs. Day said that she heard from several
candidates that this personal touch was very meaningful to them.
Ms. Benjamin raised the issue of misunderstandings associated with the new process.
She repeated the issue of those who thought they were parishioners but technically were not and
thus did not receive a ballot. She also noted that there were a significant number of individuals
who were not aware that they could mail in the ballot, although this option was stated on the
ballot itself.
Interim Rector Process
Mr. Vaden stated that parishioners have questions about the process for selection of an
interim rector and wonder if parishioners have any role in the selection process. Mr. Moeser
replied that the Vestry, whose members are representatives of the parish, is responsible for the
selection of the interim rector.
Mrs. Schütz, commenting that it would be very helpful, asked if she remembered
correctly that Canon Hunn offered to address the parish and was told that this is the case.
Mr. Vaden reminded the Vestry that Canon Hunn will meet with both sitting and new
Vestry on April 23. Mrs. Kopp suggested that the Vestry needs to have names to consider by
May or June in order to act before candidates make other plans.
Vestry Retreat
7
Ms. Grealey asked what will be done at the May retreat. Mr. Moeser said that Chief
Administrator Walker Mabe is contacting the Consortium for Endowed Episcopal Parishes for
recommendations.
Parish Concerns
Mrs. Day reported that she has been asked by several parishioners about how the new
building is being used and what are the guidelines and cost for using it.
Mrs. Day also asked about issues relating to funerals, specifically about parking and
about scheduling for the church or the chapel.
Mr. Moeser asked the Vestry to consider a clear system for rotation on Vestry
committees. Ms. Benjamin asked if he recommends a formal process, and Mr. Moeser replied
that the Vestry just needs to think about this issue. Ms. Grealey confirmed that there is need for
new members on several committees, including Outreach Ministry. Mr. Elkins-Williams said
that the parish Engagement Fair is scheduled for August 30 and that this is a good venue for
recruitment of new members for committees. Mrs. Kopp suggested that, in order to make
recruitment easier, the commissions need to make known the term length of committee
membership.
Ms. Benjamin asked where the master calendar is located, on line or elsewhere? Mr.
Elkins-Williams suggested that she refer this concern to Mrs. Mabe and Assistant Administrator
Travis Powers.
Announcements
8
Mr. Elkins-Williams called to the attention of the Vestry a new book by H. G. Jones,
Miss Mary’s Money: Fortune and Misfortune in a North Carolina Plantation Family, 1760-1924,
about Mary Ruffin Smith, an early parishioner of Chapel of the Cross. Mr. Elkins-Williams has
sent the link included in Friday’s weekly e-mail to both Bishop Curry and Brooks Graebner,
historian of gthe diocese.
Mr. Elkins-Williams also informed the Vestry that Emma Carter-Armstrong, one of the
student leaders, is doing a survey for her geography class on what impact the new addition has
had on parishioners in their experience of the community that is the Chapel of the Cross.
Mr. Elkins-Williams commented that the Fish Fry was a wonderful event and netted
$4000 from the silent auction.
Committee Reports
There were no additional committee reports this month.
The Rector offered a prayer, and the meeting was adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Nancy F. Kelly
Clerk of the Vestry

DRAFT MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL MEETING
OF THE CHAPEL OF THE CROSS
SUNDAY, 15 MARCH 2015
Call to Order
The Annual Meeting of the Chapel of the Cross convened at 10:05 a.m. in the
Great Hall. Rector Stephen Elkins-Williams presided and welcomed those present to the
meeting.
Attached is a copy of the Agenda for the 2015 Annual Parish Meeting. This
includes yearly reports from the Rector, the Sr. Warden, the Worship Commission,
Christian Formation, Outreach and Social Justice, Pastoral Care and Hospitality and
Fellowship, the Administration Commission, the Finance Commission, the Annual
Campaign, and the Treasurer.
Mr. Elkins-Williams began by noting changes to the Vestry election process.
Diocesan canons require that those elected to the Vestry receive a majority of the ballots
cast at a meeting of the parish and that there be no absentee voting. In the past, this
requirement was satisfied by adjourning the Annual Meeting to a specified Sunday, at
which time eligible parishioners cast their ballots at all eucharistic services, with run-offs
to be held on succeeding Sundays as needed. The parish by-law governing this process
2
was amended to allow for a preferential ballot to be sent to all eligible parishioners, with
those candidates for Vestry who receive a majority of ballots cast to be elected by
acclamation at the Annual Meeting and with run-offs, if necessary, to be held at that same
meeting.
Appointment of Parliamentarian
Mr. Elkins-Williams appointed Joe Ferrell to serve as parliamentarian for the
meeting. He then thanked all the nominees who allowed their names to be put forward to
stand, and they were recognized with a round of applause. Mr. Elkins-Williams also
informed those present that the members of the outgoing class of the Vestry serve as
tellers for the election, counting the preferential ballots and, if necessary, the run-off
ballots.
Report of the Elections Committee
Mr. Elkins-Williams then turned the meeting over to Jr. Warden Carter Kersh.
Mr. Kersh announced that there were 359 ballots cast, which he called exciting
participation. On the preferential ballot, Syd Alexander, Ann Craver, Melody Savage,
and Kevin Trapani received a majority of the ballots, negating the need for a run-off.
It was moved by James Moeser, seconded by Ted Vaden, and passed
unanimously, that Syd Alexander, Ann Craver, Melody Savage, and Kevin Trapani,
3
having received a majority of the ballots cast in the advisory balloting, be elected to
the Vestry by acclamation.
Mr. Elkins-Williams noted that all of the elected individuals have served previous
terms on the Vestry.
Rector’s Annual Address
Mr. Elkins-Williams then gave his Annual Address (attached) to the parish. He
used as a unifying note to his remarks a quote from Revelation indicating God’s
reassurance: Behold, I make all things new. He concluded by saying that rectors come
and go but the parish, the congregation, the Church goes on. The congregation responded
with applause and a standing ovation.
Treasurer’s Report
Mr. Elkins-Williams then introduced Treasurer John Pegram. Mr. Pegram began
with an overview of all those who are involved in the financial business of the parish.
Each Sunday the tellers process the offering plates. Chief Administrator Walker Mabe,
Parish Accountant Debby Kulik, and Sr. Associate Treasurer Barney Varner deal with the
parish finances on a daily basis. The Finance Committee, which meets once a month,
oversees all aspects of the parish finances. The Oversight Committee takes responsibility
for overseeing the finances related to the recently completed building project and the
4
financing of this project. Mr. Pegram likened his role to that of a traffic cop,
coordinating all of these entities. All report to the Vestry, which has the ultimate
responsibility for the financial health of the parish.
In addition, the parish employs an outside accounting firm, which for many years
now has been Butler & Burke LLP, to conduct the annual audit.
Mr. Pegram reported that the shortfall for the 2014 budget was about $10,000.
The projections for the 2015 show a small increase in the budget.
Referring to the financing of the building project, Mr. Pegram reported that the
bank loan will be around $3,000,000, about what was projected. This includes some of
the funding for chapel restoration and repair.
Mr. Pegram stated that the parish made a commitment to the future with the
building addition. There is now need to re-build the financial reserves of the parish while
paying off the debt. He thanked Mr. Elkins-Williams for his leadership and spiritual
guidance in making this project a reality.
Annual Campaign Report
Mr. Kersh and Jim Noonan, Co-Chairs of the Annual Campaign, then reported on
the Annual Campaign. The committee had promised a different, shorter, and more
5
focused campaign this year, with the stated goal of 100% participation. Although 100%
participation was not achieved, there was tremendous progress. The goal for the 2015
budget was $1,430,000, and 543 pledges to date total $1,401,987. There will be one final
call to those who have not yet pledged for 2015. Mr. Kersh and Mr. Noonan extended
thanks to all those who have made a pledge and to the campaign volunteers for their time
and efforts towards reaching the campaign goal.
Remarks from the Sr. Warden
Mr. Elkins-Williams then introduced Sr. Warden James Moeser and said that at
the Vestry retreat in May, he will nominate Mr. Moeser for a third term as Sr. Warden.
Mr. Moeser thanked the lay leadership who volunteered their time to make the
building project a reality. He mentioned specifically Capital Campaign Co-Chairs Reid
and Margaret Conrad, Oversight Committee Chair Ford Worthy, Parish Chancellor and
soon-to-be Chair of the Oversight Committee Eugene Dauchert, Buildings and Grounds
Chair Alan Rimer, Terry Eason with his architectural expertise, and Transition
Committee Chair Nancy Tunnessen.
Mr. Moeser then referred to the issue of chapel restoration and repair, saying that
the Vestry has tapped available funds for the chapel project and giving assurance that the
principal of the Stoudemire Fund was not invaded for this purpose.
6
Mr. Moeser thanked Mr. Kersh and Mr. Noonan for their dedicated work on the
Annual Campaign. He floated the idea of sustainer pledging such as is done by WUNC
in its fund-raising efforts. His remarks were greeted with appreciative laughter when he
added that Chapel of the Cross even offers better benefits than does WUNC. They may
offer free trips, but we offer eternal life.
Mr. Moeser expressed thanks also to Mr. Ferrell for the work of the Vestry
Elections Committee, which initiated the new process for election of Vestry, with the
positive result of increased participation in this process.
Mr. Moeser also thanked Mr. Vaden for his work in chairing the Celebration
Committee.
Acknowledging that it comes with great anticipation and anxiety, he then turned
to the process of transition. In April the new Vestry will meet with the Reverend Canon
Hunn, Canon to the Ordinary for Program and Pastoral Ministry, about the selection of an
individual to serve as Interim Rector. The Diocese will present the Vestry with a list of
candidates, and the Vestry will select the Interim Rector. Once the Interim Rector is in
place in October, the search process for the new Rector will begin. As Sr. Warden, Mr.
Moeser will, with Vestry approval, name a chair of the Search Committee, who will then
aid him in preparing a proposed Search Committee slate for Vestry approval. They will
be seeking volunteers to serve on the Search Committee. The committee will have six to
ten members, with some intentional overlap from the Vestry. He emphasized that
7
parishioners who seek to become members of the committee need to know that it will be
a very time-consuming process.
Mr. Moeser then opened the floor to questions.
Pete Andrews commented that he wished there could be more people here today
and said that it is unfortunate that this meeting was set for a Sunday during UNC spring
break. Mr. Moeser apologized for the conflict. He acknowledged that there was also a
conflict with a large group of parish women on retreat and said that with the beginning of
the new academic year in August, the Vestry will set the date on a master schedule in
order to avoid such conflicts in future.
Sankey Blanton asked what is the cost to the parish of a $3,000,000 debt for the
building project. Mr. Pegram spoke to this issue. He stated that the interest will amount
to about $90,000 per year. For the 2015 budget, $10,000 is earmarked for this purpose.
Mr. Moeser added that in about 2020, there will be a retire-the-debt campaign.
Mr. Blanton then asked what will be the impact of this debt on the search for a
new Rector. Mr. Moeser replied that he is confident that this will be a very attractive
position, adding that the new building is a statement of faith.
Robert Wright asked what the search will cost. Mr. Moeser said that he doesn’t
have the answer to that question but that it will not impact the 2015 budget.
8
Recognition of Outgoing Vestry Members
Mr. Elkins-Williams asked the continuing members of the Vestry to stand to be
recognized. Heather Benjamin, Brian Coggins, Mary Beth Grealey, and Mr. Moeser
have one year remaining of their term on the Vestry, and Barbara Day, Katherine Kopp,
Martha Schütz, and Mr. Vaden have two years remaining. He then recognized the three
retiring members of the Vestry. Ann Craver has been serving an unexpired term and was
re-elected. Eugene Dauchert, in addition to his role on the Vestry, is the Parish
Chancellor and will soon become the Chair of the Oversight Committee. Mr. Pedersen
led the Strategic Plan Committee and was Chair of the Finance Committee. Mr. Kersh
has served as Jr. Warden and as Co-Chair of the Annual Campaign.
Adjournment and Doxology
Mr. Elkins-Williams asked the congregation to join him in the singing of the
Doxology, and the meeting adjourned at 11:00 a.m.

COTC Buildings and Grounds Committee Meeting Minutes
Thursday, April 9, 2015 Library, 5:30 pm
Building & Grounds Committee Members
Name Name Name Brian Coggins Y Margo MacIntyre Y Martha Schutz Y Jean DeSaix Y Ron McGill Y Rob Sullivan Y Peter DeSaix Y Bryson Powell E Ken Talbot Y Terry Eason Phil Rees Y Nancy Tunnessen Y Rob Hooke Y Ken Robinson Y Guests: Walker Mabe Y Alan Rimer Y
Meeting Agenda Items
• Welcome –Additions to the agenda = Path between the CotC parking Lot and Morehead Lot (See item 16.)
• Discussion Items: 1. Planting & Weeding – Margo discussed having a planting workday in the fall.
Nancy has a number of Lenten rose plants that are heeled in at her house that were part of the CotC grounds before construction. These plants will be moved this fall and other miscellaneous landscaping chores undertaken at that time.
2. Building Construction Schedule – Alan reported that the Department of Insurance (DOI) upheld the town of Chapel Hill’s requirement to either construct fire suppression (sprinklers) or a firewall between the chancel and the Battle building. Alan will forward to the Committee the email sent out to the Vestry this week on the issue.
3. Chapel Paint/Washing – Waters Craftsman – the current schedule for the completion of the Chapel surface restoration and other repairs should be complete in 5 to 6 months.
4. Chapel Window Painting - Phil reported that the painting has been completed except for the wood elements that are part of the tower. That painting will be completed when Waters Craftsman are complete with their restoration.
5. Reserved Parking & New Signage – the signs for the clergy, Alter Guild and Van as well as handicapped signs for Sunday parking will be ordered shortly. Walker and Nick have a design that will be utilized for the signs. Alan will order from a firm in Durham.
6. Operations – Ron reported on his training at the FacilitiesDude.com University in March. We currently utilize Facility Dude to create work orders and keep track of maintenance throughout the facility. Monthly reports will soon be generated indicating the various tasks that have been done, or need to be done to maintain our facilities.
7. Networks – Peter reported on a number of items:
2
a. The last of the uninterruptible power supply units has arrived and will be installed that covers the administrative area.
b. A Wi-Fi access point will be installed in room G20 (old Classroom 5), and will take into consideration the installation of a surveillance camera at the Tower door. (See item 11 below.)
c. Described the failure of the A/V system to connect the church and the Great Hall on Easter Sunday. Apparently someone had been in the A/V control panel and disconnected the unit and no signal was being delivered to the Great Hall. Steps will be taken to secure this so that it cannot happen again.
d. A new subnet will be set up to handle all A/V requirements throughout the facility – thus making some of the past issues that have been experienced go away.
e. New video screens will be installed in the lobby. 8. Fireplace Policy – Gas logs are being installed in library and parlor negating
the need for a policy for controlling fires in the fireplaces. 9. Work order policy –Ron will set up an attractive work order box in the lobby
in which parishioners, staff and clergy can insert requests for repairs, or make notice of other issues that exist that the facilities team next needs to address. As soon as the box is obtained, an announcement will be made parish wide about how to utilize this service to report issues.
10. Completion of Library – Rob has nearly finished the library bookcases, and has one more set to finish. This work is being done under the sponsorship of the interiors committee.
11. Surveillance cameras – Alan is looking into the purchase of wireless cameras to be utilized to observe the tower door at the southeast side of the building, the cloister door, the hallway area from Yates to the new basement wing, and the children’s playground. A report will be made to the Committee in May.
12. Chapel Lectern – Terry was to have reported on his investigation into securing the Chapel lectern, but he was unable to make the meeting.
13. Ramp Room – Comfort Engineers has been requested to prepare a quote to better ventilate the ramp room.
14. Chapel Vapor barrier -it was recommended by Comfort Engineers that a vapor barrier be placed underneath the Chapel. A quote was obtained for the work, but after a lively discussion, it was determined that additional information is necessary before any steps are taken to install such a vapor barrier. The attached photographs illustrate some of the issues underneath the Chapel including several wires which have fallen and become corroded (an electrician has been contacted to fix these wires immediately) some non-toxic white mold, a significant amount of trash, and poorly wrapped heating ducts which are slated to be repaired.
15. Garbage in cans – for a variety of reasons the garbage and recycling cans have been sitting outside of the storage building where they are supposed to reside. Ron and Alan looked at ways to move things around within the existing storage building and the cans will soon disappear to where they belong.
3
16. Missing Shrubs – Phil pointed out that there are several missing shrubs adjacent to the new storage building which has become an unofficial cut-through that should be made a safe and permanent entrance to the parish property from the Morehead lot. The Committee discussed this and rejected the idea. The only cut-through approved by the University is the improved entrance which is several feet further north. Shrubs will be placed in the existing unofficial cut-through and other steps taken to make sure it stays closed. (Arborist will determine how to do that.)

Oversight Committee Financing Plan Update April 13, 2015 The purpose of this report is to update the Vestry on the status of the building project and the upcoming Final Loan Drawdown. The Committee now expects to submit its recommendation regarding the amount of the Final Loan Drawdown for consideration at the Vestry’s May or June meeting. This target date could be further extended depending on how and when the final remaining important construction issue is resolved. We previously had hoped to make this recommendation at the April Vestry meeting. 1. Project Cost and Outstanding Work to be Completed During the past three months a subcommittee of the Oversight Committee (Eugene Dauchert, John McGee and Alan Rimer) has negotiated with Barnhill Contracting to reconcile a variety of contract items (e.g., allowances, contingencies, general conditions) in order to arrive at a near-final cost for the construction contract. With the exception of potential costs associated with fire protection for the nave in the church (which is discussed below), the total cost under the Barnhill contract is currently projected to be $7,756,720 which is in line with the Committee’s expectations as of our February report to the Vestry. This amount includes the cost of installing sprinklers below the ceiling in the Chapel. A small amount of additional work remains to be completed, most notably the installation of sprinklers and insulation above the Chapel ceiling. The “punch list” is now down to less than a dozen minor items (e.g., installation of certain hardware, small changes to the parlor fireplace). At the Committee’s next scheduled meeting on April 20th, we plan to approve a next-to-last payment to Barnhill, with the understanding that a final payment would be made only after the Chapel sprinkler system has been satisfactorily installed and all other remaining punch list items have been completed. The final payment, $66,000, will include approximately $17,000 that will be held back pending completion of the overall project. It is difficult to predict when the sprinkler system will be completed, as the work cannot begin without approval from the Town of Chapel Hill. The proposed sprinkler system design was formally submitted to the Town on March 16, 2015. 2. Fire Protection for Nave As the Committee reported in February, in conjunction with the final inspection process the Town of Chapel Hill imposed a requirement that some form of fire protection be implemented with respect to the main Church. In order to issue a final certificate of occupancy for the new addition, the Town has mandated that we either (1) install a sprinkler system covering the nave, or (2) install a fire protection wall where the nave and chancel directly abut adjacent areas of our facility (principally, where the chancel abuts the Battle Building). This requirement was not only unanticipated at this late stage of the construction process, but was contrary to the Town’s original approval of the overall project design plan. With the Vestry’s encouragement, the Committee’s representatives, working with our architect, informally appealed the Town’s position to the North Carolina Department of Insurance (DOI). Unfortunately, we learned last week that DOI has decided to uphold the Town finding that we must provide some form of fire protection in the nave of the Church. We believe DOI ruled as it did because of a detailed letter written by the Town which we believe inaccurately portrayed the situation.
Our options are described below:
• We are evaluating whether or not a formal appeal to DOI is warranted. Such a decision will be based on the cost and likelihood of success of an appeal, and also the possibility that the findings of the informal appeal might be overturned. Lee Becker of Hartman-Cox and John Mabe are evaluating this course of action. We have already determined that an appeal directly to the Town is unlikely to be successful. We have until approximately the end of April to make a decision about whether to file a formal appeal.
• Barnhill has preliminarily estimated the cost of installing a fire separation wall to be $65,000. • We have asked First Defense, the Barnhill subcontractor that installed the fire suppression
system in both the new building and in the Yates/Battle buildings, to provide a cost estimate for installing a sprinkler system in the nave. We have also asked First Defense to provide information regarding how such a system would be installed, including how visible the system would be and how unobtrusive it could be made.
We are working to evaluate each of these alternatives and will report back to you as soon as the full Committee has developed a recommendation. 3. Final Loan Drawdown In adopting the Final Financing Plan, the Vestry charged the Committee with making a recommendation of the total amount that should be borrowed in connection with the new building. It should be noted that the Vestry explicitly did not delegate this decision (the amount of the Final Loan Drawdown) to the Committee. Thus, the Committee plans to make a recommendation regarding the Final Loan Drawdown, for your consideration in the coming months. Subject to the outcome of the fire protection issue, the amount of the likely Final Loan Drawdown is unchanged from our February report. We expect to recommend that the Vestry approve a Final Loan Drawdown of approximately $500,000. This amount includes $100,000 that will be used to pay for part of the Chapel renovation project that is currently underway. We expect to submit this recommendation for approval by the Vestry at the May or June Vestry meeting. Under the terms of the BB&T loan agreement, the Final Loan Drawdown was to have been made no later than January 10, 2015. Due to the longer-than-expected construction period, BB&T has verbally agreed to extend the deadline for making the Final Loan Drawdown, until mid-July. At our request, BB&T recently agreed to memorialize this extension in a written letter agreement. The additional time will provide some valuable flexibility as we continue to work on resolving the fire protection issue.
Finance Committee Report to the Vestry April 2015
The Finance Committee met in the Yates Conference Room at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Neil Pedersen, Chair, presided. Also in attendance were John Pegram, Treasurer, Barney Varner, Senior Associate Treasurer, Chris FitzSimons, John McGee, Dick Taylor, Finance Commission Chair, and Walker Mabe, Parish Administrator.
March Financial Report John Pegram reviewed the March 2015 financial report. The Treasurer and the Finance Committee remain concerned about the revenue picture for this year. Prior Year Pledges, Current Year Pledges, and Unpledged Contributions are running behind the First Quarter receipts in 2014. Pledges to date amount to $1,408,401. Our budget is based upon the receipt of $1,430,537 in pledges (99% of $1,444,987). On the expense side, we raised questions about the following lines:
• Music Program: 72% of the budget has been expended in the First Quarter. We believe that this is partially attributable to the inclusion of some Easter expenses. Also, the Music Director usually expends these funds prior to tapping the James Fund. Nevertheless, with the Rector’s retirement and Christmas still to come, this budget should be monitored by the Rector. Expenditures are authorized by the Music Director and are not subject to review and control by the Chief Administrator.
• Hospitality: 40% of the budget has been expended in the First Quarter. The high rate of expenditure is largely attributable to the Wardens’ Dinner and the Rector’s Teas. With the Rector’s retirement and transition to an Interim Director, we can expect to continue to incur some non-routine costs. Hospitality is a program that has been significantly expanded with the opening of the new facility and is contributing to the vitality of the Parish. The Chief Administrator is in a position to control this budget; however, we may need to look for ways to underwrite the costs of special events from other sources to maintain the level of activity that we are now enjoying.
• Communications: 46% of the budget has been expended in the First Quarter. The Chief Administrator reports that the high rate of expenditure is attributable in large part to advertising of the Common Good Conference and the ABC Sale. She is confident that she can control future expenditures such that spending is within the budgeted amount.
• Cleaning Vendor: 37% of the budget has been expended in the First Quarter. Because this is an annual contract, we would expect that only 25% of this line would be expended. The Chief Administrator reports that some funds from this account were used to clean up areas that were impacted by the construction and renovations. This is understandable, however, if the budget for the line item is only sufficient to cover the cost
2
of the annual cleaning service contract, it’s possible that we will have a slight over-expenditure in this line. The Chief Administrator believes that she can keep this to a minimum and/or make up any overruns by under-spending other Physical Plant lines.
• Buildings and Grounds: 40% of the budget has been expended in the First Quarter. This line was overspent last year by approximately $13,000, and the Finance Committee is concerned that this may happen again this year. We understand that this relates, in part, to wrapping up the new construction and renovations; however, there is only a limited amount of funds available. The Finance Committee would like for the Treasurer and/or Chief Administrator to be authorized to exercise greater control over this budget.
Final Budget Recommendation The Vestry charged the Finance Committee with making a recommendation regarding a final budget for 2015. We discussed whether or not the budget for any of the expenditure lines should be adjusted in light of the spending patterns outlined above. We concluded that because the budget is only a spending plan, we should expect some variances among the lines and we need not over-react with frequent adjustments. We concluded that none of the First Quarter variances cited above were of a magnitude that required that we increase any individual lines at this time. That said, when we look at the overall budget for expenditures, we probably run a greater risk of over-spending than under-spending our budget in 2015. It should be emphasized to budget managers that we cannot afford for them to overspend their accounts. Turning to revenues, as stated earlier, revenues are coming in at a slower pace this year than last and pledges are approximately $22,000 short of what is provided for in the budget (assuming that we collect 100% of pledges). The Finance Committee agreed that it’s reasonable, perhaps optimistic, to conclude that the budget has a $20,000 shortfall that should be eliminated by either increasing revenues or making reductions in budgeted expenditures. The Committee discussed three possible courses of action:
1. Leave the budget as it stands in the hope that either sufficient pledges will eventually come in or, if not, we will run a deficit at the end of the year that will need to be made up by drawing down the Church’s fund balance, which was $90,771 at the beginning of this fiscal year. This option was rejected because we believe that it paints an unsubstantiated and misleading portrayal of the church’s financial position to the Vestry and the congregation.
2. Reduce the Current Pledge Revenues budget by $20,000 and transfer $20,000 from the Program Fund as a revenue source to balance the budget. There is $174,550 in the Program Fund at the current time. We rejected this option because it would constitute a step backward in terms of fiscal responsibility. A major goal of the Vestry in recent years has been not to rely on the Program Fund to balance the budget, and
3
we have not done so for the last two years. The Senior Warden has emphasized that we must put the budget on a sustainable path.
3. Reduce the Current Pledge Revenues budget by $20,000 and reduce expenditures by $20,000. The Committee concluded that this was the fiscally responsible step to take and would send an accurate message about the financial position of the church now that the Annual Campaign has been completed. Unfortunately, there is very little leeway in our budget at this time. This is not an appropriate time to consider cutting back on staff, and fixed operating costs cannot be adjusted. As demonstrated earlier, some austerity measures may need to be taken to keep the operating line costs within budget. That, unfortunately, forces us to consider reductions in Parish Programs and Work Outside the Parish. There really is very little discretionary money in Parish Programs and 37% of this budget has already been expended. Consequently, the Finance Committee reluctantly recommends that the category of “Work Outside the Parish” be reduced by $20,000. The Commission Chair for this area will be asked to work with the Committee Chairs to decide how this budget reduction can be distributed and implemented with the least negative impact. It is the Finance Committee’s hope that more pledges will come in and that this money can be restored to the budget at a later date.
Since the initial budget adoption, Barney Varner has made some minor changes to the budget to ensure its accuracy (see highlighted lines in the attachment). These changes, actually, have already been incorporated into the Financial Reports that the Vestry has been receiving. When the Vestry approves a final budget, it is recommended that these changes be included. Revision of the Finance Committee Charter The Finance Committee made a few minor changes in its charter. We clarified that all ex-officio members are voting members except for the Chief Administrator and the Senior Associate Treasurer. We eliminated the position of Vice-Chair, concluding that it was unnecessary. We added a provision for a standing Audit Subcommittee. The Finance Committee has found this charter document to be useful and recommends that other committees consider adopting this practice. Respectfully submitted, Neil Pedersen Chair of Finance Committee
Finance Committee Charter Charge to the Committee The Finance Committee has responsibility for overseeing all aspects of the church’s finances to ensure that funds are strategically budgeted to meet the goals of the church, that funds are received and expended in accordance with established internal controls and the budget adopted by the Vestry, that sufficient funds are budgeted to protect the capital investment of the church, and that the church remains on a sound financial footing for the foreseeable future. Membership
• Ex-officio members of the Finance Committee include persons in the following positions: Chair of the Finance Commission (voting), Senior Warden (voting), Treasurer (voting), Senior Associate Treasurer (non-voting), and Chief Administrator (non-voting). Although the Rector is not an ex-officio member, he or she is always welcome to attend all meetings of the Finance Committee and to provide input during the Committee’s decision-making process.
• The Rector and Senior Warden will appoint six members to serve on the Finance Committee, three of which are to be members of the Vestry.
• Members will be appointed to three-year staggered terms. Members may serve no more than two consecutive three-year terms. They may be re-appointed after not having served for a period of at least one year. After an initial transition period, a Vestry and a non-vestry member shall be appointed each year to a three-year term. The Rector and Senior Warden will make appointments as necessary to complete unexpired terms as vacancies arise.
• Annually, the Rector will appoint a Chair to serve a one-year term. A chair may serve in this capacity for no more than two consecutive years.
Schedule of Meetings
• As the calendar permits, the Finance Committee will meet monthly on the Tuesday of the week preceding the Vestry meeting. The meeting time is normally 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
• The chair, at his or her discretion, may cancel meetings when they are not warranted or if poor attendance is anticipated.
Responsibilities of the Finance Committee
• Provide sufficient oversight to the financial management and operations of the church to ensure that funds are received and expended in accordance with the church’s adopted financial procedures and that all internal controls are in place.
• Oversee the development of policies and procedures related to the financial operations of the church.
• Annually work in conjunction with the Chief Administrator to develop a balanced operating budget to recommend to the Vestry.
• Review and discuss monthly financial reports provided by the Treasurer or Senior Associate Treasurer in order to monitor the receipt of revenues and the expenditure of funds during the course of the year.
• Oversee the audit process, including the selection of an auditor when necessary and meeting with the auditors to preview the audit report.
• Recruit and recommend to the Vestry a Treasurer, who serves a three-year term.
• Oversees the church’s risk management program to ensure that the church’s financial and capital resources are adequately protected.
Subcommittees
• The Chair shall appoint an Investment Subcommittee to oversee the church’s investments and to make recommendations regarding how funds are invested. The Investment Subcommittee shall include at least one member of the Finance Committee.
• The Chair shall appoint an Audit Subcommittee to oversee the auditing process, including the selection of the audit firm and meeting with the audit team for an exit conference.
• The Finance Committee will recommend to the Vestry the chair of the Oversight Subcommittee, which will monitor all finances associated with the construction of the 2014 addition to the church. The Oversight Subcommittee will serve until the entire debt for this capital project is paid off. There is a separate charter for how this Oversight Subcommittee operates.
• The Chair has the authority to appoint other subcommittees as he or she deems necessary to meet the responsibilities of the Finance Committee.

BALANCE SHEETS
March 31, 2015
All real assets (checking accounts, investments, etc.) are held in the General Fund. Thus the total assets of the
General Fund represent the total assets on the books of the Chapel of the Cross.
The General Fund owes a substantial part of these assets to the Special Funds. The total of the assets of the Special
Funds always equals the total of the General Fund "due to" liability lines, summarized here as "Due to Special
Funds".
This structure means that there is no direct mapping of Special Funds assets to particular real investments or
accounts.

Christian Formation
Three goals of the Christian Formation commission in 2015 are to hold more intergenerational events, work cooperatively and creatively with the other commissions and take full advantage of the new space, especially the Great Hall. We are excited to see back-to-back programs that do all of this. During Holy Week, the Way of the Cross was set up in the Great Hall. Church school classes created interactive stations representing Jesus’ walk from the court of Pontius Pilate to Golgotha. On Palm Sunday, parishioners of all ages could walk the Way with the children who made the various stations, including stations that highlighted a new Outreach initiative (Circles of Support) and Global Missions. The Episcopal Campus Ministry visited the stations on Tuesday and the Rev. Bill Joyner led a group through them on Friday. The new space makes this kind of shared experience possible. On April 12, the Outreach Committee will sponsor another intergenerational event, this one focused on the importance of water to both our world and our faith. Multiple committees across commissions (including Children and Family Ministry, Global Missions and Environmental Stewardship) will sponsor educational displays. Bill Joyner will again take a leadership role, teaching about Baptism in the parlor. And once again, the new space and the new commission structure make this sort of collaboration possible. It is exciting to be a part of it. Boykin Bell

• Planned and implemented ABC Sale kick-off fish fry and silent auction, which netted $5568 for
the Sale. Responsible for publicity for the sale, including partnership with WCHL/Chapelboro. Wrote copy and did voice over for radio ads for the sale. Also advertised through fliers, yard signs, ads in other outlets, and Treasure of the Day emails. Organized credit card payment locations on day of sale.
• Strongly recommend use of COTC storage unit to advertise and collect once a quarter donation pick-up for large or valuable items. If the success of the sale is based on quality and quantity of merchandise, we need to be more flexible in collections and enable people to give year-round.
• Working with outreach commission and other commissions to develop parish-wide volunteer opportunity. Training is underway for Support Circles, a project of the Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness. Support Circle teams make a one-year commitment to partner with a family transitioning out of homelessness. We have enough volunteers for two teams; the outreach budget supports one team—donations are being solicited for another $2500. Our teams are being trained at COTC.
