 PRODUCTIVITY: Slowed down in discipleship growth because lack of man power to keep up with the training, placement and data maintenance. Need to improve these three areas in order to keep growing.  ENERGY: Overall passion for growth dropped and slowed down because of inability to keep productivity above going. However, members desire to grow still strong. Attendance for Sundays and Wednesday services are still strong, given that we are in the summer months.  MORALE: High at beginning of quarter, but dipped toward summer months. Spiritual morale still very high; however, organizational morale is down a little. We need to get our new building going.

 2012 HKM Annual Conference Update  State of SPHAC Report  Status of New Building Project

ADF Update  We have been approved by ADF for a loan of $5,153,000. This includes: 10% contingency Our two current loans  They require a reserve of $330,095. This reserve belongs to us. It earns us interest. It will be returned to us later.

ADF Update  They require that we use a general contractor This means... We can no longer act as general contractor Vedi Assoc. will now function as architect only The OVERALL cost may be different than the $5,153,000 approved by ADF.

HKM DEXCOM Update  The DS (Thawj Tsavxwm) has given us his approval to ADF  HKM Dexcom has voted to approve of our new building project

What Remains to Be Done  We need to finalize and choose a general contractor  Vedi is aiming to get all drawings done by the 27 th of this July  After this, the drawings will be submitted to City of Maplewood for final detail approval General Contractor for bidding

What Remains to Be Done  We need to get a “guaranteed maximum cost” from general contractor to ADF  ADF gives approval for final loan amount (because of the involvement of the GC).  Our timeline is to be able to break ground late summer or early fall
