Goal #4: Increase the financial strength of St. James

  1. End the year 2018 with a larger financial reserve than we began with

Goal #5: Address the deferred maintenance of our buildings and grounds

  1. Develop a restoration plan with short and long term projects
  2. Separate projects by funding source: operating budget vs. capital campaign
  3. Create a 5-year calendar for the restoration plan

Progress as of June 2018: Short and long-term projects have been identified. Current priority projects are termite abatement and related repairs to the church building; replacing the front and side doors on the church; and landscape improvements and irrigation system controls.
