SUMMARY:Community Conversation re Lighting and Audiovisual Elements at DMIEC (shortly after the Worship Service)
DESCRIPTION:The DMIEC Council has approved the discussion of a proposal to update the lighting and audio/visual elements at DMIEC. After the discussion at the Community Conversation\, a vote will be taken by a show of hands to determine whether to issue an email ballot. If approved\, an email ballot will be sent to the membership with a yes or no vote to move forward with the project.\n\n\nThe Ad Hoc Lighting Committee was Barb Corson (Chair)\, Mick Briedis\, David Drey\, Tony Schmitt\, Steve Whitaker\, and David Wright. We began meeting in November of 2025\, and recently completed our deliberations and have the following proposal. We were lucky to have strong expertise and experience in all things electrical\, audio/visual\, and in knowledge of the building. If we had only had Dick Mullen\, we would have had it all!\n\nThe Committee considered many ideas\, upgrades\, and improvements to the lighting and sound system over the last 9 months. Both practical and aspirational. As we worked\, we continued to narrow our focus to what we felt was necessary and what would bring the most value to the community and to the space. Things we found necessary were to 1) bring all areas of the electrical up to code\, 2) rebuild the existing fluorescent fixtures into LED fixtures – existing light switches at the south entrance will be reconfigured and updated as necessary\, 3) increase the Ethernet capacity for better control\, and 4) update the audio/visual system for an improved experience for the congregation.\n\nWe put our final proposal for the lighting improvements out for bid and received two bids from electrical contractors. We propose accepting the lower bid. Upgrades to the sound system\, Ethernet\, and streaming capacity can be completed by members of the Ad Hoc Committee.\n\nThe amount requested by the Ad Hoc Committee is broken down here (updated to net out earmarked donations totaling $10\,000):\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmount Requested\n\n\nOutput\n\n\nVendor\n\n\nJustification\n\n\n\n\n$25\,000\n\n\nReplace all fluorescent lighting with LED lighting\, some dimmable and some non-dimmable; create zones in the building which can be lighted and adjusted as needed; replace requested switches with wireless switches; update all wiring so that it meets code.\n\n\nTri-City Electric\n\n\nAll ceiling light fixtures will be retrofitted from fluorescent to LED. Many states are phasing out and banning the sale of fluorescent bulbs as they are considered hazardous waste. The color temperature will be warmer than what we have been accustomed to. Our worship space will be grouped into seven different\, dimmable zones\, which will be useful for evening services\, movie nights\, etc. These seven zones will utilize wireless switches\, and the remainder of the lighting will continue to operate from the switches at the south entry of the building. The primary advantages of converting the interior of our building lights will be less maintenance\, higher efficiency\, lower electric usage\, and better performance.\nThe Ad hoc committee\, which has been meeting for almost a year\, believes this update is a responsible way to move forward into the future.\n\n\n\n\n$10\,000\n\n\nUpdate and improve audio/visual systems:  speakers and microphones\, cables\, usability\, Ethernet switch capacity.\n\n\nTony Schmitt and pals\n\n\nReplacing the mounted speakers with speakers distributed in the ceiling will improve sound quality throughout the worship space. Adding microphones\, connections\, and a cable snake adds functionality\, replaces some worn equipment\, and removes many cables under the feet of the musicians. Audio/visual cables in the ceiling are not up to code and should be replaced. Adding Ethernet switch capacity\, an audio processor\, and updating computer equipment will improve DMIEC’s ability to continue to offer services via Zoom and will allow members to stream movies\, lectures\, documentaries\, etc.\n\n\n\n\n$7\,000\n\n\nStandard 20% overage for possible cost increases and/or complications.\n\n\n\n\n\n-$10\,000\nLess: Donations from two members to offset cost of the project\n\n\n\n\n\n$32\,000\n\n\nMaximum net amount requested for these improvements.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore detailed descriptions of the work to be done will be presented at the meeting. We look forward to answering any questions that you might have at the Community Conversation after the in-person service on September 27th. Members attending on Zoom will be able to participate.\n\nIf you cannot attend the meeting and have questions\, please send them to Barb Corson at corsonbarbara@gmail.com.\n\nAd Hoc Lighting Committee

SUMMARY:Annual Meeting - Community Assembly of Registered Members\, including information about the 2026 Council Election (In Person and via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:DMIEC’s Annual Meeting of the Community Assembly (i.e.\, registered DMIEC members) will be held on Sunday\, June 28\, 2026 immediately following our prayer service. The Council\, committees\, and teams will provide brief updates for the membership at the meeting. \nAll registered DMIEC members are eligible to run for the DMIEC Community Council and to vote in the Council election.  Electronic voting in the 2026 annual Council election will end at 5:00 p.m. Saturday\, June 27 (the day before the annual meeting).  Details about electronic voting will be separately provided to all duly-registered DMIEC members sufficiently in advance of the deadline. Members may cast written ballots at the June 28th annual Community Assembly meeting\, if they’ve not already cast their ballots electronically.  If the number of candidates matches the number of open Council seats\, the election may take place via voice affirmation during the meeting. \nNote: Non-Members\, who currently have Volunteer account status and who are interested in becoming registered\, voting Members\, should email that request to dmiec11@gmail.com. \n\nServing on the Council is a great way to gain a better understanding of all that DMIEC does and to share your talents for the benefit of our faith community. The By-Laws provide that a Council member must rotate off after two consecutive full terms. Any registered member of DMIEC is eligible to be a candidate for the Council. Any DMIEC registered member interested in running for the Council should contact Council Secretary Donna Dressel no later than 5:00 p.m. on Sunday\, June 1\, 2026.  Candidates will be announced to the membership at least two weeks in advance of the annual Community Assembly meeting.
