TIC soon expanded its vision to embrace not only the ecumenical movement but also the interfaith movement. In so doing, it now houses agencies whose concerns include religion, education, culture and social services. TIC offers a collaborative and consensus-building setting, with the goal to provide a positive working environment for religious and non-profit groups conducive to the achievement of their respective missions. Welcome! 5 5/10/2017ja TIC TENANT MANUAL (2017) MISSION STATEMENT The Interchurch Center is owned and managed under the auspices of several Christian organizations as a Class A office facility, with the mission to provide a working environment that is conducive to ecumenism and interreligious involvement. To further this Mission, The Interchurch Center: Maintains a high quality, state-of-the-art building with superior accessibility and a range of convenient tenant-related services; Draws on traditions of hospitality within the Christian heritage, which intentionally promote a sense of community and respect for diverse religious views; Establishes programs that support Tenant Agencies, and offers opportunities for networking and exchange among all tenants; Seeks to be a positive presence in the surrounding neighborhood and New York City. 6 5/10/2017ja TIC TENANT MANUAL (2017) INTRODUCTION TO THE INTERCHURCH CENTER Welcome to The Interchurch Center (“TIC”). This manual is designed to provide factual information to enable all members of TIC’s “family” to understand our operations and to achieve a high degree of mutual support and good will as we work together in this rather special building. It contains helpful information as well as selected rules and regulations to assist occupants. (Additional rules and regulations are set forth in each Tenant Agency’s respective lease.) Changes to the rules and regulations are made known by interim announcements to the heads of Tenant Agencies for all building occupants. TIC is organized on a non-profit basis. Ordinary costs are shared by tenant organizations in several ways. The basic costs of operation and maintenance—heat, electricity, cleaning, elevator service, etc.—plus depreciation and a capital projects fund are recovered through rent that reflects a professional judgment on the relative values of leased space. Monthly charges, based upon experience, are adjusted the following year with a final charge or credit after the annual audit. The cost of the telephone system, in which Tenant Agencies participate, is recovered through a billing system based upon telephone usage. Above-normal costs are paid by that Tenant Agency, which places a work order for special services, e.g., after-hours need for heat or air conditioning, security, occasional special porter service, as well as the painting of tenant-occupied areas. Twelve organizations contributed working capital to start TIC, loaning a portion of the money needed for construction. (The bulk of the money required was obtained through a commercial loan; there were also gifts from individuals and foundations.) These bodies, known as the Beneficiary Board (the “Corporation”), appoint “members” to this Board. Ultimate responsibility for TIC rests upon the Corporation members. The Corporation annually elects a board of 22 trustees. The Trustees have immediate responsibility for TIC, and work through committees and subcommittees. As a building for non-profit agencies, The Interchurch Center uses 3-tier leasing to ensure its identity and foster its mission. 1. Religious organizations a. Beneficiary Board members b. Christian organizations c. Other religious agencies 2. Educational and scientific not-for-profits 3. Other eleemosynary (“charitable”) not-for-profits The President/Executive Director of TIC (Paula Mayo) is the chief executive officer. The President oversees the staff of TIC on behalf of the Trustees and the contracted services. Most of the services are contracted through a real estate managing agent (Newmark Grubb Knight Frank). The agent employs the Senior Property Manager (Timothy Hogan) and a staff. 7 5/10/2017ja TIC TENANT MANUAL (2017) ADMINISTRATION & EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS Below is a select list of emergency and TIC administration staff extensions/phone numbers.
