1 . Municipality of Clarington General Purpose and Admin Meeting
The meeting started with a great deal of discussion in regards to the
presentations presented by both the neighbourhood residents and
the tennis club. With the current motion the COAA would be limited
to 250 members and no longer permitted to park on the grass at the
rear of the building.
It was stated that Steve Brickell had raised a lot of hackels in his
presentation to Council and that the main motion limiting numbers
at activities to 250 members is not workable. It would mean that we
would have to count incoming members at events and turn away
any after the 250th member had been counted. It will have no
impact on parking whatsoever as many members
Already car pool and others use the kiss and ride principal. Yet
others are already parking on the street, or are walking to the
Centre. Only those unable to use these alternatives are currently
finding parking a major problem.
It was also pointed out that the capacity for the building is in the
500 person area.
Motion
That the capacity of the building be increased to 500 persons
because the figure 250 is only the capacity of the main hall and
would prevent other parts of the building being occupied.
Moved by Don Welsh Seconded by Irene Gourlay
CARRIED
It was also agreed through discussion that we should no longer take
part in the Liaison Committee Meetings as these were turning into a
forum for airing complaints against the COAA.
It was agreed that we request that several Board Members make
presentations at the next Council Meeting, including President Steve
Coles, who would read the version that he had read to the Board.
Cathie Ward, Irene Gourlay, Don Welsh and Malcolm McCombe
also agreed to speak, with Angie Darlison providing the numbers
and the rationality for our situation and the wrap up.
Also discussed was how we should proceed from now on and if we
should get a developer to design a model, based on our present
set up, so that our move could be more realistically presented to
the Council.
The date of the upcoming Council Meeting is Tuesday 2nd July,
2012, at 7 O Clock.
Adjournment was proposed by Josie Roberts
