● Meeting Hall Construction Update as of August 24, 2011
August 24, 2011:
• From August 12 to August 24, the contractor for site services has performed 100% of the sanitary sewer
works and about 90% of the storm sewer works. Progress billing of $195,000 is due and payable this
month.
• By September 16, the site services will have been fully completed and the balance of $240,000 will be due
and payable at that time.

environment that optimizes and balances sound absorption and transmission.
• Please continue to pray for the meeting hall to be designed and built for the most effective control of
outside noise from air and road traffic, for the most pleasant conveying of interior sound from speaking and
singing, and for the timely progress of the construction and for its completion by June 1, 2012.

● Meeting Hall Construction Update as of July 17, 2011
1. On July 11, we signed the contract with the construction company to do the offsite sewer construction works.
2. Based on the cooling load expected for conferences when our meeting hall will be filled to capacity, we have decided to install two airconditioning units of 20 tons each. This system will increase our cost by about $54,000, but provides the most stages of cooling for best part load performance, adequately covers all cooling load demands, requires no changes to the ceiling depth, and has backup capability in case either unit fails.
3. Praise the Lord! As of Friday, July 15, the registration of our servicing agreement has been confirmed by the Land Title Office (LTO). As a result, our church project will be included in the agenda of the Council meeting on July 25. This will conclude the entire application for building permit.
