Strength in Infrastructure
Over the last several years, an active, knowledgeable, responsible Board has carefully safeguarded our finances, our operations, and decisions about capital improvements. Another prudent fiscal tactic has been making capital improvements yearly through the endowment to continue operating within a balanced budget.
Following are the repairs, renovations, and upgrades to our property that have not only been necessary but also ensure the longevity of our structures and the beautification of the grounds.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND REPAIRS INCLUDE:
- New air conditioning and heating units
- New roof
- New state-of-the-art-kitchen
NEEDED INFRASTRUCTURE:
- Two new Zoom rooms for online programs
- New sound system in the Main Sanctuary
- 200+ New chairs replacing High Holy Day chairs in the Heideman Auditorium
- LED lights throughout the entire campus
- Updated landscaping across the campus
- Columbarium updates at the cemetery
“To the credit of our staff and Board management over the recent past, we have been able to manage large expenses and remain financially stable. The team has maintained our balanced budget and improved our financial standing. Deferred improvements in our 40-year-old building have now been completed by planning and spending responsibly.”
~ Board Treasurer Mickey Heideman
IMPROVEMENTS WERE FUNDED IN ONE OF THREE WAYS:
- Board approved enhancements
- Investment committee endowment allocations
- Annual budget expenditures
FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS APPROVED AND BUDGETED BY THE BOARD:
- Build offices for two new administrative staff
- Update security systems in the front of the building and at ECEC
- The addition of campus-wide security cameras
- Replace lightning rods
- Replacement locks both inside and outside
- Remodel and interior design updates for ECEC
The added value of the dependable fiscal responsibility and operational efficiencies of The Temple motivates many members to donate more than is expected because they believe in the profound impact our Temple has on the congregation. The legacy of our Temple’s strength, guardianship, responsibility, and sustainability is dependent on all of us.
