President Steve Coles called the meeting to order. 2.0 Naming of COAA Subcommittee members Considerable discussion took place regarding the Municipalities decision to only allow elected members of the Board of Directors participate. This obviously means that the current Executive Director (Angie Darlison) who has considerable knowledge regarding the COAA may not be a representative. Several names were put forward, however the requests to represent were turned down by the individuals concerned for different, but valid reasons. These included Don Welsh, and Malcolm McCombe. Muriel Moynes was also suggested however the group was reminded by the Community Liaison Skip Crosby that the representative 'must be an Elected Board Member'. Many points of reference where discussed in regards to the current communications between the Board of Directors and the Municipality of Clarington. Angie Darlison noted that all communications seem to be rerouted directly to the President and or Secretary. This has never been the case with the other COAA Presidents. Angie Darlison also played a voice recorded message from Mayor Foster that was forwarded to her by a COAA member. Skip Crosby mentioned that Mayor Foster had indicated that the COAA were in support of this method of selection and that our Board needed to move forward. Finally a motion was made with regard to our two members. MOTION: THAT THE COAA REPRESENTATIVES ON THE NEW SUB COMMITTEE BE JIM BOATE AND NORMA EVANS with Cathie Ward acting as the alternate. Moved by Elaine Spicer Seconded Josie Roberts Carried 3.0 Date of the next meeting. The date of the next meeting is Friday May 18th 2012 unless President Steve Coles feels that a sooner meeting is needed because of information received. 4.0 John Hutchings proposed the adjournment.
