Carr’s Landing Community & Recreation Association – Directors Meeting

September 8, 2004

Present: Linda Smith Dave W,, Lee S., Liz McKinney Farrell, Lance Marshall, Laurie Johnstone, Barb Leamont Natalie Rampado & Noreen Malmkvist

Minutes from the AGM – August 11/04 were not available – Larry Crosby (Sec.)not in attendance.

Annual General Meeting – brief discussion involving the cost of the AGM and the attendance – it was agreed that with the wine tasting it made for a better meeting. Smaller cheese plate next year.

Barb gave report for Harvey Leamont who was unable to attend due to work. Cheque for $100. For 5 T-shirts and $22. From the sale of groceries from the BBQ was given to the CLC&RA.

New Swim Raft – the manufacturer had told Harvey that delivery was easier if the raft was built 10’ x 15’ instead of 12’ x 12’ – there was discussion whether a 10’ x 15’ would be as stable as a square raft 12’ x 12’ it was suggested that Harvey discuss with the manufacturer. Quote for raft is in the neighbourhood of $2,900 does not include taxes or any anchoring system. Lance Marshall moved that we go ahead and order the swimming raft as quoted to Harvey, Lee Splett 2^nd the motion, all were in favour.

Barb, Harvey, Chris & Noreen will move the small swim raft from Coral Beach to Gable Beach and place it on the beach for the winter. Will contact Bill & Dorothy Horton to see if they will help tow the raft with their boat. There was discussion regarding tying milk bottles to the chains for the anchor at Coral Beach when the raft is unhooked.

Bulletin Boards – the one damaged bulletin board (Commonage Road) still needs to be fixed – directors approved the purchase of materials to repair and reinstall the bulletin board.

Dave questioned whether or not there should be some CLC&RA approval for ads placed on the bulletin boards – it was decided that self-policing was the best – if there is anything inappropriate on the bulletin boards please remove it and also if people can remove stables, screws etc from time to time, just to keep the bulletin boards clean and useable.

Financial Report – Natalie

Balance $10,577

Lee is going to meet with Natalie to finalise the finances of the BBQ. There is an issue of $46.00, which was paid to McDonalds (only a receipt for $6.00 was given) – Lee will speak to the people at McDonalds to see if they will return the $46.00, which Lee has paid personally. Linda suggested that if Lee could not recoup the funds from McDonalds that the CLC&RA repay Lee this amount. Lee is meeting with the Liquor Board Manager – Dave – he is to make a decision on reimbursing the CLC&RA for missing liquor. Also Lee has asked The View to run a free advertisement with our “Thank you” for the support given to the annual BBQ.

Laurie has 2 thank-you notes to complete – she will get the addresses and send out.

Liz spoke with regards to progress at Nuyens Park – she is having problems getting Dan Clifford to respond to her phone calls, did eventually get a reply by email that Dan is trying to get the Engineering for the trail at Nuyens Park started – Liz will follow up with Dan as we need to let Mike Nuyens know when we need him and his machine and also work parties to work on the trail.

It was suggested that Liz contact “Walk Around Lake Country” – Ann Wise, it might be worthwhile trying to get both the CLC&RA and Walk Around Lake Country working together.

Discussions regarding the encroachments neighbouring Nuyens Park – have they been removed? There was discussions regarding fencing/not fencing Nuyens Park – the consensus seemed to be that it would be nice not to have to install fencing – is there some other way to indicate the border of the park without the high cost of fencing?

Positions for Directors 2004/2005 term – Noreen resigned as Chair has now taken the position as Treasurer, Larry remains as Secretary, Kim Kinswater was nominated as chair and was voted in unanimously (Kim was not in attendance – Noreen has emailed him to see if he will accept the position as Chair). It was agreed that Noreen will remain as the CLC&RA director on the Sector Plan Steering Committee until the Sector Plan is complete.

Councillors Report – Barb Lemont

· DLC is installing barriers by the Whitson Property on Carr’s Landing Road- following another accident on that curve August 11/04.

· DLC By-Law Enforcement Officer has sent letters requesting property owners remove fencing that goes into Okanagan Lake in Carr’s Landing area.

· Banners – unveiling of the new DLC Street banners at 4:30 Sept 9/04 in front of the Municipal Hall – Students from the four local schools have painted 30 banners which will be located on decorative street lights in front of the Municipal Hall and in the Town Centre. Cost of banners $808. Paint $155.

· Partners in Parks Program be taken with brochures printed and distributed and that a donor recognition program be created and a policy be drafted to deal with the acceptance of donations.

· The Committee of the Whole recommended that Council authorize staff to continue to develop a recreational advertising policy and advertising placement strategy.

· Fire Hydrant infill proposed policy – installation of fire hydrants – Commercial and Industrial Users will cover the cost of hydrant installations. Residential property owners may apply to cost share 50/50 with the District of Lake Country the installation of an infill fire hydrant if it is found that the infrastructure is in place to support it, in the District owned water systems. The fire department would benefit from installation of hydrants in these areas and residential homeowners have also expressed that their fire insurance ratings would improve. (If you are on a private water system as most of Carr’s Landing, LakePine area taxpayers are – you would also be paying part, through taxes the District 50% cost of infill fire hydrants throughout all the Wards that have District owned water systems).

· DCC By-Law – DLC is looking for input from developers and the community with regards to DCC charges, hoping to bring the DCC’s in line with other similar areas.

· There was discussion regarding call not being return from the staff at the Municipal Hall – is there anything that can be done to get calls returned?

Lee welcomed new Directors to the CLC&RA

Meeting adjourned by Lee – 2^nd by Lance.
