New Addition Committee Profile Study

 

I.                    The mission of the New Addition Committee  Ministry of Augustana Lutheran Church is to enable the congregation to better accomplish its mission of Christian ministry with our community.

 

 

II.                 The Congregation authorized the church council to appoint a building committee on January 18, 2004.  The council appointed a committee of eleven:  Dick Isakson, Pat Ericson, Noreen Barenack, Dorothy Peterson, Greg Wickenhauser, Bonnie Hartnann, Larry Neville, Margaret Anderson, Jessica Malone, Dale Ericson, Steve Malone.  The congregation approved the appointments on July 18, 2004 and authorized the committee to develop plans and solicit bids for construction.

 

The committee met sixteen times to develop plans and solicit bids.  The addition plan includes: Accessibility to the basement, a larger narthex, adequate space for the pastor and secretary, additional Sunday school rooms, a separate choir room, restroom on the first floor, and updating the heating system.

 

Four bids were received.  The two low bids were within $122 (Bussler Construction and Salonek Construction.)  The committee recommended the bid from Bussler because it included local contractors.
