2010 January Directors' Report

CRESCENT BEACH PROPERTY OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION

Report of Directors’ Meeting - January 10 2010

Beach Hand Delivery of Minutes
Thanks go to Laura Thibeault for her years of organizing the hand delivery each month.Big shoes to fill. We will do our best.


Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness
The email survey revealed insufficient support at this time to hold a workshop.
Interested members are encouraged to get a group together ( minimum 20 people ) and CBPOA will lend its financial support.


Changes to Dogs on Beach Bylaw
By-Law No. 13480 modified in July 2009 whereby:
56. The General Manager may designate and post precise locations and dates where dogs are not permitted within a park. No person owning or having custody, care or control of a dog shall allow the dog to be within a park in designated “no dog permitted” area.
This allows the GM to make changes without requiring a bylaw revision.
The CBPOA was asked to comment on a change that could allow year round leashed access to the promenade. Mark gave the CBPOA vote result which was closely divided butdid not support that position, However should the City decide to make the change the CBPOA would work with the City to help make it work for all concerned.


Meeting with Mayor Watts
We greatly appreciate the Mayor’s interest in our community’s problems and her willingness to meet with our reps on a regular basis. Mark & Karen will meet with Mayor Diane Watts Jan 12. They will put forth two major concerns: what stage are the plans at for a new emergency access and a toilet facility on Sullivan east of McBride. Also, they will ask for clarification of proposed zoning changes. They will report on this discussion at the CBPOA March general meeting.


Block Watch
Malcolm will meet with Amar Gill RCMP re Block Watch. An alternative to consider is to rely on residents to report all suspicious activities , car vandalism and break -ins. That can result in more RCMP surveillance. RCMP non emergency # 604 599 0502
