CBPOA September 6th, 2017 - Quarterly General Meeting Minutes

     
Directors Present:   Andrew, Ed, Bruce, Liz, Rona.                                                                 Beecher Place.
1)      Call to order at 7:30 PM

2)      Presentations:    Sandy and Wendy, Block Watch captains.

The membership was invited to an Emergency Preparedness and Safety event at Alexandra Park on September 16th from 2 PM to 4 PM. This will be a family event with display booths and presentations.  It is hoped this will move participation from personal emergency preparedness to the Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness Toolkit.

3)      Approval of the June 7th, 2017, Quarterly General Meeting minutes.
Proposed: Steve Chitty, seconded Caroline Allen.    All in favour.

4)      Business arising from the minutes – none.

5)      Review of the Crescent Beach Community Development Plan, (Land Use Plan).

The next City of Surrey Community Meeting is now scheduled for Wednesday, November 8th at Beecher Place, when the City representatives will bring forward a reduced number of options/discussion items for zoning regulations, traffic control, streetscapes, parking etc. incorporating the Community input from the first Community meeting held on May 15th.

As a result, it was agreed that the CBPOA will then hold an additional General Meeting on Wednesday November 15th to provide a forum for members to discuss the November 8th material presented by the City.  (This will replace the previously scheduled October 4th meeting which was predicated on the City indicating that their Community meeting would be held in September).

6)      Discussion of the frequency of CBPOA General Meetings.
Following discussion, it was moved by Art Van Wart, seconded by Jim Glanville that the CBPOA hold six General Meetings per year, (ie. two further meetings, in addition to the regularly scheduled Quarterly meetings). The proposal was carried.

7)      B.C.s New Societies Act. The final step is for our lawyer to complete the process.

8)      CBPOA donation for 2018.
The 2018 donation of $1000.00 will be to the Crescent Beach Swim Club. (2018 is their Centennial year).

9)      Whistle Cessation.
Gail reported that a Surrey representative has indicated that things are moving forward with completion of the legal process and input is being received from residents, particularly on Bayview, with respect to the design for the required fence. There was discussion around forming a project group to work on such rail issues and interested members were encouraged to speak with members of the Executive Committee.

10)  Sullivan St. sports box. The City completed a significant renovation work project over the summer.

11)  New Business – none.

12)  Motion to Adjourn:   proposed, Rona Tepper, seconded, Jim Carter.
