Changes on the Property
By John Muirhead --
With the July 1st start of our new fiscal year, we have much to look forward to. First let me say how honored I am to be serving you all as Greater Portland’s Property Manager. I look forward to managing our new budget which will allow us to upgrade another section of our leaky roof, replace a very noisy dishwasher and a repair a broken rear lobby door. Randy our Maintenance Technician and Tamara are also here to serve you, keeping our buildings well maintained, clean and attractive.
Because our property dumps large amounts of rain water into Stephens Creek, which runs adjacent to our property, we have partnered with the Bureau of Environmental Services to create Rain Gardens that will contain rain water and return it to the soil. An example of a working rain garden can be seen on the southwest corner of our property. I encourage you to check it out and notice how attractive they are! More rain gardens are in next year’s plans; all at the expense of the City of Portland.
Our property sale to Habitat for Humanity is still in the Due Diligence phase, which is a very long process, so it will be quite some time before we see construction beginning. We’ll keep you update on that.
Let me also mention that our Safety Team is looking for a few younger members. Our current “mature” team members are dedicated to serving you and keeping you safe. If you have an interest in joining us, please contact me at or find me on a Sunday morning.
The Lord has blessed us with a beautiful campus and two buildings that serve us well. My thanks to all of you for respectfully taking such good care of what we have.
Thanks everyone,
John Muirhead
