Council Notes December/2004

 Council meeting was held December 17/2004. All councillors and Peter Brenneman were in attendance, no observers.

Treasurer’s Report: We continue to be in a good financial position.

Developer’s Report:

·        The Main area of the Clubhouse will be ready for occupancy at the end of Feb. with pool at end of March

·        192 homes occupied by Dec 31/2004. 28 are presently under construction, balance to be started prior to Sept1/2005.

·        Peter reported that they are still working on a solution to Parkway water problems.  Council wants to stress to residents that the walkways will not be de-iced or shoveled this fall and winter. Signs will be posted that if you use the parkways it will be at your own risk.

·        A temporary block wall and gate will be put in place to connect up to existing fence by old construction gate area. This new gate will be closed at night

Old Business

• Salt Chlorinator will be purchased and installed.
• Energy efficient bulbs will be placed at front gate and new signs will be ordered to replace temporary ones
• Tenders will be put out for clubhouse and pool maintenance. Criteria examples will be given to Social committee and they will establish the criteria and KCS will advertise for tenders

Committee Reports

• Social Committee-The bridge group continues to meet on Tuesday afternoons. They will be planning some winter functions so watch the notice board in the mail shed. They will be contacting Shaw and Telus regarding hook-ups for clubhouse.
• Bylaw Committee-Bylaws were presented to council and reviewed. Any changes necessary will be done. An SGM date to present the bylaws for approval has been set for April 20/2004. All Residents will receive the final draft prior to that date.
• AL Committee- reported on one alteration request and made a recommendation to council. Their meetings will be as needed over the winter months.
• Gardening Committee – see council minutes for copy of report. Council has requested that discussions with Brenco start in January so he is aware of our expectations for the coming season and to ensure that our expectations are met.

• Discussions took place regarding the front gates.  There is evidence that the gates have been forced open. This contributes to excessive wear and tear on the gates and eventually higher maintenance costs. Mag locks will be installed on the gates to prevent this from happening. There have been problems with clickers not working and a specialist is being called in to find the problem. If you have forgotten your key or clicker please call a neighbor rather than trying to force the gate.
• Council wants to remind residents that there is a $20 fee for replacing your man gate key so please try to keep it in a safe place.
• Council asks that homeowners please refrain from washing their Driveways and the road in front of their street for the winter months. This washes away the Anti-icing compounds which are sprayed on the streets.
