Business Arising from the Minutes

1.Association Officer Positions.

Wendy Montieth has agreed to take the position of Parks Director.

2.Road Ends and Parks.

A trail to the south Coral Beach Road waterfront has been cleared and the brush from the road has been removed from Coral Beach Road, but not from the beach area.

Wendy reported that some of the cottonwood trees at Gable Road will have to come down, otherwise lawsuits could result if trees are blown down and injure park users. Penny asked if trees could be taken down to the 10-foot level and then left for bird use. Safety will be the deciding factor.

Wendy offered to obtain a statement in writing about funds that will be available in 2003. She will also ask Dan Clifford about Ministry of the Environment guidelines for planting on the foreshore.

3.Neighbourhood Plan Core Group Credibility.

Ched reported that about six people have expressed concerns about the compilation of data from the questionnaire and how the process for a Neighbourhood Plan will evolve. Dave suggested that these people be encouraged to participate in the process.
