AGENDA ITEM:

1. Task #1 - Preparedness kits
Jim Mason and Jane Oldring
The above noted individuals presented the Task of an Emergency Preparedness Kit that would be compiled and distributed to the CBPOA members. The idea would be to advertise these kits and encourage as many members as possible to have them in their homes in the event of an emergency. Talked about the logistics of having the kits made, costs, advertising and distribution. It was agreed that at the June 5 AGM, there would be a quick info session including the presentation of the kits.

2. Task #2 - Emergency Directory

Henry Wendel
Henry presented the draft of the Emergency Directory to the Directors. He presented the cost that would be associated with the production of either a self-adhesive, non-permanent or heavy cardboard piece. The costs and practicalities were discussed and it was agreed that the more cost effective, cardboard stock would be the way the best option.

3. CBPOA.CA Blog
It was agreed that we should review the CBPOA Blog, what it contains and how to use access it at the June meeting. As this is an information location for the members, we should encourage its use. As well, it was noted that the website should always be noted on the minutes.

4. General Business
• Garbage Issue – Mark Nelson noted the excess garbage at Blackie Spit after a busy weekend. As the population of Surrey and the number of people utilizing Crescent Beach is quickly increasing, the garbage capacity is not. Erik Seiz agreed that he would contact the City of Surrey and bring to their attention.

• Sullivan Street Re-design – the new redesign of the end of Sullivan Street was discussed. The City of Surrey did present the design to the Directors and emphasized the need due to safety and security issues.

• Washrooms – It was agreed that with the increased population the need for washrooms may also increase. It was agreed that Art Van Wart would approach Camp Alexandra to discuss the feasibility of opening up the washrooms to the public as well; Erik would approach Tim Neufeld with the City of Surrey.

• Trains – Erik has attempted to make contact with Russ Hiebert to encourage discussions about trains, economics and its impact on Crescent Beach. He will continue to make contact and hopefully set up a meeting.

5. Volunteer Appreciation Open House – Sunday April 21, 2013 – 2-5 pm.
Discussion as to the logistics of the event organization. Izzie and Art Van Wart have offered their home as the location and all Directors will contribute in different ways.
