WHARFFINGER’S REPORT: Hugh reported that there has been minimal maintenance required during the past year. We fixed the gate and did repairs as necessary. He thanked the volunteers that helped The refuge pile got very large this year because people were dumping their refuse. For example, a record player and water heater were dumped and rolled down to the shoreline. He would like to put up "NO DUMPING" signs.

There were 21 boats in moorage last year. There was another abandoned boat this year, we took care of it to ensure it didn’t sink and charged the owner $5 per day for the time it was in the area. The other abandoned boat will be put up for sale for 30 days soon. Funds will be part of SHORA revenue For next year’s moorage, there are 18 moorages spoken for We have a new moorage contract The minor changes that were made ere discussed.

OTHER BUSINESS Heinz stated that there is a six month test period of no leash in Kinnickinick Park. There is someone walking their horse and destroying the trails. He suggested (to the city) that doggie bags by posted but the suggestion was declined at the district level. Heinz further commented that the Christian Academy is "no more" and therefore the school zone is illegal. Jason and Kinnickinick School talked to District regarding upgrading of roadway. They pointed out that a crosswalk could give a false sense of security. Hans asked for clarification of Marina vs Moorage. Jason discussed this difference between commercial entity or moorage. Jason talked to BC Assets of Lands and there is now no difference between moorage or marina as far as them recognizing it as a difference -- we can certainly change the word to moorage and will so refer to it as community moorage - not marine.

POISE ISLAND DRIVE PARK Jason discussed the removal of trees in park area Easter weekend the same two individuals were cutting down at least one large tree in park area Jason talked to Council and they were vague regarding all issues surrounding this area Hugh suggested that because the park area has been virtually destroyed by the adjacent land owner, that this area be sold to him and the duck pond be purchased as park area with the funds.
