Who are we? The Parish Property Administration Committee (PPAC) comprises of a group of experienced volunteers who help to look after the maintenance of ALL physical assets of both St. James and St. Michael’s churches. The ministry’s focus is on maintenance and does NOT include Operation or Custodial activities.
What we do? The current group comprises 10-12 members with diverse practical skills applicable to the maintenance activities around the church building that are expected to be encountered.
The group maintains a master list of issues, jobs, and outstanding items called the “Risk Register.” Each of these issues/jobs is risk-ranked to prioritize the issue/job and allow reasonable decision-making for urgency, to manage the said issue relative to others.
Before any spending, the PPAC scopes each job, gets appropriate quotes for material and any contract labour required, and seeks approval for estimated spending from the finance council. The PPAC executes “High Priority” maintenance jobs with the help of volunteers to do the work when feasible, and the proper skills are readily available. In addition, the PPAC will identify additional issues and opportunities through regular inspections of the parish assets. These inspections are completed at least annually for each asset.
