CBPOA - September 12th, 2018, General Meeting Minutes

Directors Present: Andrew, Ed, Jim, Bruce, Derrick.                                        Beecher Place.

1)      Call to order at 7:36PM. Andrew welcomed the several new faces at the meeting.

2)      Presentation: Tindi Sekhon, City of Surrey, 2018 Drainage Project Manager.

Progress has been slower than anticipated owing to archeological work and every ones’ patience is greatly appreciated. There have been some interesting finds; 300 to 400 or so year old baskets and tools and this has resulted in more hand excavation.

The works on Gardiner and Agar are expected to be completed in October. The work on O’Hara will not be completed and will be restarted in May next year with the intent to complete before the summer season starts. (Mindful of the kids on bikes using this route in the summer).

Paving, grading and the installation of the speed humps, (first on Gilley, then Gardiner and Agar), for this year will be complete in October, with temporary speed humps installed on O’Hara. Tindi will provide a detailed schedule for the work.

A question from the floor - will you be speaking to the individual homeowners regarding the finish grading from the road to the properties? Yes and the plan is to replace like with like. Are you open to a change by an individual? Yes we can discuss.

From the floor – the contractors have been great this year – very helpful to the homeowners affected by the work. Tindi indicted the same contractor will return for the work next May.

Tindi was also asked, as the Project Manager for the fence installation, if this would be installed this year? He responded that he believed the City was continuing to talk to BNSF. Disappointment was expressed – we thought we’d pushed as much as possible.

Tindi was thanked with a round of applause.
