AGENDA ITEM:

1.  STRATEGY FOR SUB-COMMITTEES WITHIN CBPOA

The Directors discussed the need for a long-term strategy for committees operating within the CBPOA. After some legal advice, a re-visiting to the Society Act and discussion among the CBPOA Directors, the following was deemed an appropriate course of action to be taken by the Directors.

Often the Association serves as an advocate group for the Property Owners of Crescent Beach; from time to time issues arise that require discussion, and potentially action, by the group.  Sometimes these issues are beyond the mandate of the group and no further action will occur. Or, an individual (or group) will take on an issue independent of the CBPOA . However, in many instances, action is required and the Directors feel that the development of a “Task Force” would be the appropriate course of action in these cases. This  “Task Force” would have specific objectives, would work alongside the CBPOA Directors and have a beginning and an end point.

2.   DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITEE - FIRST AID WORKSHOPS

            The Fist-aid workshops are set for September 13 and 22; October 6 and 13, 2012

            The first wave of brochures has been delivered to the residents. Please note the

             registration deadline is September 10, 2012.

3.   LOT RE-ZONING - 124 B ST.

            (Mark Nelson)

      Mark updated the group on a situation  brought to his attention by a 

      concerned member of the CBPOA. The issue was pertaining to the potential

      re-zoning of a lot on 124B. Mark extended the invite to the member as well as the

     Quarterly General Meeting. In addition, a representative from the City of Surrey will
