New Business
Lighting in walkways especially by garbage dumpsters
Difficulty is lights are at individual units and individuals are refusing to keep the power on for these lights
Suggestions -Solar –doesn’t work due to low light conditions in the winter time
- Re wiring – too costly
- Deduct from Strata Fees for the affected units – Most units are tenant
occupied and BC Hydro is being paid for by the tenant
- Rental Managers to write it into their contracts.
- Rental Managers to look into the legalities of this
- Halogen Flood Lights (bulk sales)
- Porch Lights (compact fluorescent bulbs)
- Front & Back yards to be lit up

Proposal - Change Bylaw Infraction Fines to Verbal, Written, $50.00, $100.00,
$150.00, $200.00 over a 1 month period – Perhaps will motivate
compliance
Sean Stubbs motioned and Sherry Powney seconded
Discussion – currently Verbal, written, $50.00
Voted to Amend Enforcement = 11 Yes, 67 No – Motion Defeated

Unfair fines for window coverings – Bylaws should remain consistent
Maintenance/Cleanup around complex is atrocious – no garbage being picked up –

Response – Community Policing was VERY positive about the complexes appearance and continued improvements.

Council controls everything – has most proxies. Each owner is permitted to choose whom ever they feel the most confidence in to represent them at the AGM in their absence.

Basements are flooding in back of G block from D over to G – ground water has no where to go. Asphalt is sinking and leaking towards the building – Suggestion to sandbag it until Spring

Peaked and Flat Roofs need to be addressed in 2010

Meeting adjourned 9:05pm
Motioned by Wanda Smook and seconded by Elaine Nothstein
