Pardon the delayed update, the association took the summer off and then there was the local election.
Since the minutes are being worked on (not received) we are updating as follows:
From Sept (pre-election)
Old Business
- Area B and C update: Mike Macnabb talked to current status of BX Ranchlands. Vernon and Coldstream maintaining their position of “sever and sell”. (This is speculated to be a portion is for park use then the rest sold off for development.) Next meeting is in camera. Development of the linear park is delayed.
- The spring run off from the Boss Development this year created a natural wetland on the BX property showing the need to allow this to happen.
- Paul commented on the Rancho Vignola starting a pumpkin seed crushing plant in Armstrong. Also there is an upcoming workshop Sept 21st at the RDNO office from 9:00 to 11:00 am. Speakers are Laura Frank and Mary Stockdale. Topics are Cooperative business ventures, Agricultural Co-Ops and North Okanagan food sustainability.
- Response to letter re road conditions and traffic patterns around BX Elementary School. Letter from Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure was not particularly supportive of our concerns. Little is to be expected re suggested improvements. Letters on file. Mike Randall requested copies of both letters.
We welcome the new rep. for Area C, Amanda Shatzko.
Also, have appreciation, gratitude and thanks for his service, Mr. Mike MacNabb. Best wishes for his future endeavors.
When the minutes are updated and circulated, we will post them again here.
Last but not least, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas (well wishes for this Holiday Season,) and a Happy New Year.
