Alex Wilson
Alex provided information on the CRD / Water and Sewer Committee open house held on April 27 2019, where three options were presented for needed upgrades to the sewer system. He advised that about 125 people attended.
Alex asked for Magic Lake Property Owners' Society’s input so that the wording on the referendum (likely to be held in the fall of 2019) is correct.
He thanked the Board for their email to members advising of the open house and requested that another email be sent out to members advising of the opportunities for public input on the sewer upgrades.
Alex also noted that both Dave Reed and Wally Foster sit on the Water and Sewer System Board, which is helpful in keeping good lines of communication open between the two Boards.
Dave Kirsop
Dave noted the poor condition of the boat ramp adjacent to Thieves Bay marina. He presented written information, including an aerial photograph showing that the boat ramp is not on Thieves Bay Park land, nor is it included in the Magic Lake Property Owners' Society leased area for the marina. There is presently no body that has jurisdiction over the ramp.
He asked whether Magic Lake Property Owners' Society would assist in advocating for an appropriate agency to assume responsibility for the boat ramp. It was agreed that Magic Lake Property Owners' Society will not take on any jurisdictional role for the ramp.
