This is the first-ever meeting of the temple to which everyone is invited; a necessary and welcome step toward, hopefully, better temple management and operation. Let us hope it is the beginning of something great.
I would prefer the board discuss among themselves before meeting and come up with the plan to share with community and then finetune it. summarize the the points raised by community and create an agenda and potential actions . Retired volunteers is the need of hour.
It will be great if the trustees listen to the concerns of the community and later present a comprehensive plan to reform the entire management and operation. Here are some ideas:
1. Trustees let go the total control.
2. Start a membership with a fee, e.g. $100/yr/family, and give the community members a say in the management.
3. Form a Board of Governors, made of trustees, and community members representing diversity.
4. Have new contracts and written guidelines for priests.
5. Streamline EC’s responsibilities and procedures.
