SPRC Report for November 2010

SPRC Report to the Trinity Church Council for November 2010

1.) The SPRC approved the 2011 Recommended pastor’s Compensation Package as recommended by the new Upper New York Conference. The package would increase expenses for conference cost, personal medical cost and include a 3% wage increase. The total compensation package is $75,660. Trinity does not qualify for a grant as previously thought. This will be presented at the church charges conference in December.

2.) Based on the continued positive financial results the SPRC will provide recognition awards to staff members in 2010.


3.) The SPRC will recommend 2011 budget changes based on actual recourses available. :.
a. Incremental wage increases of 3% to part time positions of office assistant, custodian, events person, supervisor of building and grounds, visitation coordinator and crib room.
b. Continuation of the health care allowance to the Christian education directors and youth coordinator.
c. Adjusting the Contemporary Worship leader position from ¼ to ½ time. This position would also receive a health care allowance.


4.) The Bishop has appointed Nathan Lange as a local licensed pastor at Trinity UMC. This would allow him to administer weddings, baptisms and communion here as well as Ontario St. Church.


5.) Anyone wishing to provide input to the 2011 church profile should provide the input no later than Wonderful Wednesday 11/17, 2010.
