ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AGENDA

Jim Brophy presented a proposed agenda for the AGM. The date has been set for Tuesday, October 25th 2005. The location will be the Oakville Club at a cost of $150 plus some expenses for tea/coffee and flip charts, etc. We will invite the two Councillors, along with Chris Mark from the Parks Department, Ron Ray from the Regional Water Treatment project, Inspector Gordon from the Police, and a representative from the Daniels Corporation.

Jim noted that there has been some vandalism at the Daniels Corporation's new presentation center but we have assured them that from the WHRA perspective the battle is now over and we would like them to come to our Annual Meeting to talk to the membership about the new development on the Sharkeys property.

Jim circulated a "report card" on our goals and achievements over the past year. After discussion it was agreed that this document will form the basis for the Progress Reports. It was noted that the grades assigned relate to our success in achieving the goals.

John has prepared a report on the Parks and will ensure that this is sent out to the Executive as well as to Chris Mark of the Parks Department and the other residents who have been involved in some of the issues. We need to form a separate and dedicated Parks Committee and need support from all of the residents. The agenda for the Annual General Meeting will be as follows:
  1. Greetings and introduction of Executive members and guests
  2. Approval of the Minutes of last year's Annual General Meeting.
  3. Call for nominations from the floor for election to the Executive
  4. Treasurer's Report
