2016 January

CBPOA   Executive Committee Meeting held January 6^th, 2016.

                                    Activities and Actions

1)    Planning for the March Quarterly General Meeting.

-       Invite a City representative to talk about what was learned from the 2015 drainage work and the plan(s) for 2016.

-       Invite a City representative to share what was learned from the 2015 paddleboard initiative on the beach and to discuss 2016 commercial activities on the beach.

-       Invite a City representative to share the thinking on traffic calming in the community.

2)    To aid in discussions around traffic calming, request and gather the data that is available with respect to traffic incidents in Crescent Beach.  Similarly, approach the City to firm up the plan and the process for the requested review of the Crescent Beach Community Plan.

3)    In order to investigate spending some of our accumulated CBPOA funds, (as has been suggested at Quarterly General Meetings,) explore with the Blackie Spit Preservation Society the potential to fund a scholarship, for a student from one of the local schools, as a prelude to presenting any initiative to the membership.

4)    Planning for the “Camp A” centenary celebrations is well underway. Historical displays will be featured and any relevant CBPOA membership archival materials are welcome.

5)    Should we be streamlining some of our open meeting processes? For someone wishing to raise an issue, should there be a process of notification and gathering of some level of community support/consensus for that issue, prior to it being brought forward to the membership at an open Meeting?  We will look at what others are using to aid any future discussions.

6)    Art has offered to host a CBPOA volunteer appreciation event in April. He and Bruce will firm up the date.

2015 November

CBPOA Executive Committee meeting held November 4^th, 2015

                                            Activities and Actions

Ø  There are now 7 or 8 Block Watches in formation/operation. An update will be given at the December General meeting.   

Ø  Camp Alexander Centennial in 2016. Art will talk to this at the December meeting

Ø  Have your say on Translink in the Community. The information associated with the on-line survey , www.translink.ca/trc , suggests there will be no bus/shuttle-bus service after 7PM. Erik will attempt to have a Translink representative come to the December meeting.

Ø  Would a CBPOA Facebook page be of value to gain Community opinions/sentiments on opportunities and issues? As a first step we should gain input at the December meeting by asking how many of us would potentially use Facebook.

Ø  The Volunteer Appreciation evening will occur next year, in early Spring

Ø  Planning  for the December General Meeting and Christmas Mingle on December 2^nd.

Ø  The drainage project – we should have the City give an update at the March General meeting.

2015 August

CBPOA Executive Committee meeting August 5th, 2015

Activities and Actions

Some members feel there is a lack of transparency as a result of the Quarterly open meeting – monthly Executive Committee only meetings format. 

➢ Action:  a short Activities and Actions note will be published on the website following each Monthly Executive Committee meeting.

➢ Directors at large positions discussed

➢ Speed bump petition currently underway. The role of the CBPOA is to advise members how to submit their petition to the City and help navigate any road blocks that may occur.

➢ September Quarterly meeting and AGM agendas. In addition to the regular items the Quarterly meeting agenda will include:

 - someone from the City presenting the process for the review of the Community Land Use Plan. 

- suggestion for information gathering around parking issues.

- information on Block Watches.

>   Signage in the Village. The Executive Committee believes there are enough signs             detailing summer dog restrictions and more signage for this and for safe-guarding valuables in cars is not required.

 >   Treasurer’s report.
