Chair Eric Depoe welcomed new members
Minutes of the last meeting - accepted
Focus of meeting 1) By-laws for Association 2) Survey
Concerns expressed about item 9 - that in the event that the YCDCA folded the money would be handed over to a charity in Stone Mills Township. Expressed concern that this money may not be used in Yarker and District if this is the case. Suggested that the money should go to the YAA if this situation ever occurred.
Request was made to clarify the status of Yarker Athletic Association at this present time. Request from group to define the status of the YAA at present. Those involved in the Association related it was just a financial set up at present often helping local people in distress and supporting community projects. No by-laws associated with this group. Discussed the terms of reference of the group. Reg Janes has all the documentation. Four people have been delegated to oversee open use of the money. Questions included did Yarker Athletic Association have projects planned which would require money from the new Association?. Could the new YCDCA ask YAA for financial assistance? Members of YAA said they will come back with answers for the group by the next meeting.
Trying to make sure the YCDCA runs with complete clarity with open information on all levels will require we have a resolution to this situation. The chairman asked for comments.
A vote was taken to resolve this situation - carried
Discussion around the survey brought a motion to delay comments on by-laws until the next meeting so people could study the handout in greater depth. Proposed by Rob and seconded by Rick – Carried.
Survey Committee report
Group discussed the progress so far. Decided to have a covering letter accompany the survey.
Discussed what questions and how to be formatted. Suggestions two pages and questions on the final page.
Early spring was a suggestion for the timeline. Other prefer before Christmas because of community spirit at this time or Early January when the rush was over. Some members requested caution at it is important that we design and distribute this survey properly.
