7. Highway Signs: Karen Sword requested that we re-open the discussion regarding the “Visit Pike Bay” highway signs. At the May meeting, it was agreed that the Community Association would take over the cost, administration and maintenance of these signs. Karen feels we should not take on the responsibility of the signs and if the businesses in Pike Bay are not interested in looking after the signs, they should be removed. After a lengthy discussion, Karen moved that we rescind the decision made at the May meeting; Glen Cameron seconded the motion, approved.

8. New Chairs – Ruth Tomlin made a motion to purchase much needed new chairs for the Community Centre. She moved that $1,500 be approved for this purchase (50 chairs at $30). Seconded by Albert van Mourik, approved. Note: new chairs have now been purchased and should be delivered before the end of September.
