United Methodist Church

2004 Voorhies Avenue

It's been a week since I learned about the planned removal of the two steeples at United Methodist Church.

I am still trying to figure out what should be done, and can be done to convince the church not to proceed. It appears that the church has not try to obtain funding.

I would like to meet the architect to hear how the scope was determined and particularly why the steeples could not be restored in place, and why the project could not be accomplished in phases to save on costs.  The cost affidavit says the demolition (and I'm assuming the capping work) is $22,000.  We don't know however if the contractor a) is doing it at cost, and b) whether the scope was bid out to many contractors to obtain the best price.

Conapac Services Corp. is the contractor who pulled the sidewalk shed permit. It is not clear whether he will be performing the demolition work since the demo permit was pulled by the architect.
