Where We Go From Here

Form a Building Committee

Formulate How the Building Committee Will:

• Work with Scott project by project to achieve best results

• Use the Ministry Plan/Core Values to guide their decisions/prioritize projects

• Consider city ordinance/codes and project cost estimates in prioritizing projects

• Use others in the body to make “working groups” for portions of each project

• Report to the elders
