CBPOA - December 7, 2021 - Directors Meeting Actions and Activities

 

CBPOA Directors' Meeting

          Tuesday December 7, 2021

In attendance: Jim Carter, Henri Wendel, Bruce Friesen, Trish McEvoy, Liz Bensted

 1.     Planning for December 10, 2021 Special Meeting

·       The purpose of the December 10 meeting is to offer the opportunity, for members who weren’t at the November 3, 2021 General Meeting as well as other members, to view the City’s poster boards, discuss the proposal and provide feedback to the Directors.

·       Speakers can be on a speaker’s list or speak from the floor.

·       Speakers will be asked to keep their points brief and members will be asked to refrain from interrupting.

·       Directors decided against recording or using Zoom in the meeting due to privacy issues

·       The agenda will be simple: presentation of project details by Trish, Town Hall format for speakers from the floor, and discussion.

 

2.     Planning for January 5, 2022 General Meeting

·       In light of the recent flooding in the Fraser Valley, a speaker from the City of Surrey might be interesting.

·       Working Groups – Working Groups are expected to report to the Membership at each General Meeting. Their reports should review the work they are doing to reach their objectives.

·       Some working groups are dormant: Whistle Cessation, Website Upgrade, Land Use. These groups need leadership and participation from the membership.

·       The CBPOA AEDs are installed, which is cause for celebration, and the next steps are training and publicity.

 

3.     Other points discussed:

·       Renewal of Zoom subscription.

·       Need for insurance for Directors to be explored.

·       Phase out of hand deliveries by June 2022; use of Canada Post instead.

·       Phase in of online membership payment to be investigated.
