2. Items on the activity list August 5, 2011
a. Roof – Gopisa presents the letter from Kalkreuth Roofing August 2, 2010, sent to the committee before the meeting. The letter represents an analysis done by Kalkreuth for Kayafas Architects.
i. Proposal accepted by the committee: we do the temporary repair ourselves, put a skin on top of the current layer, make more drainage holes (about 12), estimation for material about $ 3.000, plus labor $3.000. This proposal will be made to the joint boards, timeline: finished mid October 2011.
ii. No investment on the lower roof for the moment due to the fact that PRC plans to reconstruct the lower building.
b. Structure of the current dome – yet to investigate
c. Sudanu – needs some time to think about his engagement at PRC.
d. Front stairs – Gus (Kayafas) will be requested to get quotes for the reparation of the front stairs.
e. Design of the new lower building – PRC decided that there should be no substantial change in the design,elements of the design of Srila Prabhupada’s house should be reused. PRC therefore decides that we do not need any outside designers. Gus from Kayafas architects will be able to do the design for the lower building.
f. Gift shop – Krsna Bhavana sent a letter to PRC with the information that she will not use the current gift shop premises for next year based on the mold and the water entering the facilities. She proposes that the Palace/Temple builds a temporary gift shop at a new place; Krsna Bhava will pay rent and invest in the shelving of the new gift shop.
PRC came to the conclusion that the semi circle with the little structure in front of the current gift shop is the right place for a temporary gift shop. The space is big enough for the setup, the current bathrooms can be used. Gopisa will work on a proposal for next conf call.
Next conf call: September 9, 2011
