Five architects have expressed interest in CC and will come to see us on Feb 28, now looking for care providers to come in for consultants

• Water lines may be complete by end of March
• keys available for new lock on construction gate; when locking please make sure your lock intertwines with other locks
• two issues facing discussion between city and engineers; neither issue holding up project:
• booster bump to be tendered out and Marwest will take it off the truck and install it
• sewage lift station out for tender

• Coming along quite well and we’re hoping that our neighbour to the North finally gets the approval from the city of Castlegar so that he can start his construction
• Several parties interested in gravel on the property; meeting tomorrow to attempt to finalize

• Those interested in writing for local media are requested to submit articles to the Writing Committee to ensure that KCSHC policies are maintained
• April 19th – ceremony to honour kickoff of the project starting April 2nd. Watch for announcements!
• KCSHC is now a member of the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce and our promotional literature has been accepted for distribution at the Chamber
• Writer’s Group may be approaching various committee members for biographical information

[See building committee report]

• Bare land strata will be a problem because all units have to be completed before occupancy can occur; however building strata permits building by phases; phasing can be decided based on member needs;
• Pins will cost about $400 per unit and it can be done ‘later’
• Could be twelve to sixteen units complete by end of September, four or so per month thereafter; further discussion in the Life Lease member’s meeting tomorrow 6pm rec complex Kootenay room;

Moved by Cliff Paluck/Christine Apperson; all in favour.

(can’t do real ‘home warranty’ for legal reasons) moved/seconded by Janice Johnson/Fred Houghton; all in favour.

Columbia basin trust is supportive but can’t give us any money because they’re in partnership with a private developer. Grants committee has met with Mayor and area I, J directors who are very supportive.  Upcoming meeting with “Area J” on Tuesday.

Motion from the Rules Committee:

• “We move that any member who chooses to relinquish their current Ground Floor Life Lease unit, prior to the upcoming scheduled pick date, is eligible to re-enter the pick process ONLY on a subsequent pick date. The predetermined pecking order number shall always apply.” Moved by Rules Committee, seconded by Ron Johnson.
• Question from floor – would this stand up in a legal question?  Answer – rules can be challenged, but motions passed by group are binding upon membership.  
• Question from floor – would this also apply down the road when members are moving out of units?  Answer – this is only for the pick of the life leases, nothing more, will not necessarily apply to care center.  
• Vote: No opposed, no abstentions, all in favour. Carried unanimously.

No report at this time.

Unanimous decision by directors to deny this request due to standing rules of pick procedure.

• Motion to support board of directors in this decision by Ken Auld/Betty Ann Mullen.  
• Discussion: was Bungalow 8 taken in the most recent pick? Yes, pending passing of this motion.  Five more bungalows (25 unit’s total) still available at this moment.  
• Question by Helga Auld: if a member coughs up an additional $40,000 does it allow them to get a second unit? Answer: yes.
• Vote: passed with one opposed (Donna Arishenkoff). Motion carried.

Motion by Cliff Paluck/Joe Nazaroff for the directors to carry on with this proposal. Vote: all in favour, no opposed, no abstentions. Carried unanimously.

In June or July we’re all going to be getting $100 for our ‘green’ tax rebate. If we were to donate all of our ‘green’ tax rebates to a fund managed by KCSHC perhaps this would result in a more powerful use of the tax rebate.
