The pet owners are responsible for any damage their pets may cause. All dog owners are asked to discourage their pets from excessive barking or leave them at home. No pets are allowed on the beach. Those members entertaining visitors are responsible for not only the visitors but also their pets and all must follow the rules.

           This By-Law will stay the same with the addition of.. .No pets on entire beach/waterfront    area except for a dog swim area on the west side of the beach to the right of the last (W) dock. Access to this area will be by the path on west side of park, marked Walkway to Beach. Signs have been posted as of July 18, 2016.

(Docks, moorings and canoe/kayak racks.)

        NEW BUSINESS:

Proposed Amendments to By-Laws: by Ranny Fraser ( President )

1) By-Law #25 (h): Boat mooring locations are solely the location of the anchorage or a boat and its' tethering to a park owned dock, NOT the equipment. ( Remove the following sentence) A mooring may only be used by an approved lot holder, the sole consent of the Board or its representatives. and REPLACE with: “ A mooring may be used first , by a lot holder and next by a day member who has been with the Park for at least 1 year.” Mooring equipment must consist of an approved sinking rope, secure anchor and the attached floating marker. Mooring equipment is not owned or maintained by the Park and is the sole responsibility of the boat owner.

 

Note. The following 2 proposals pertain to By-Law #25 regarding boats on a mooring.

Submitted by Irene Drouin:

Proposed Changes to the By-Law 25 (j), which currently states: Parking boats and trailers on lots will be permitted only with the approval of the Park Manager.

Change to: Parking a boat/boat trailer, while a member is temporarily away from the park or due to maintenance reasons of the mooring/repairs on a boat/or during bad weather, on a members lot will be permitted.

Storing a boat/boat trailer, or kayak/canoe during the Spring and Summer months is not permitted.

Storing a boat/boat trailer, on a members lot is permitted between September 1^st and until the docks are available in the following year.

Submitted by Ranny Fraser: Change ONLY if the members feel clarification of the existing By-Law 25 (J) IS NECESSARY

 Parking a boat/boat trailer, on a members lot while a member is temporarily away from the park or due to maintenance of the mooring, repairs on a boat, during bad weather, or while the docks are out of the water, will be permitted with the approval of the Park Manager.

BY LAW CONCERN


C.W. Corbin

I propose that Members that are not abiding by the Park's Mission Statement relinquish their permanent lots. The Mission clearly states “ and camp with tent or trailer”. The definition of camp is --- to temporarily reside --- that is to say---eat sleep and live in tent or trailer for a considerable time. Those that do not temporarily reside in their tent or trailer during the annual camping season are not members “In good standing” and should forfeit their permanent lots and become day members. Thereby allowing those that do wish to camp to do so on a permanent site .

Amend By-Law #9(G) which currently states: Permanent lot holders. Members currently occupying a permanent lot must renew their lease at the Annual General Membership Meeting in the spring of the of the current year,

Add the following.... Should it become apparent that the site is not being used or being used improperly, the Board reserves the right to terminate the members' privilege to continue to use the site.

submitted with respect.......Gwynne Corbin

 

Generators:

Proposed Amendments to By-Laws: October, 2016

Submitted by Irene Drouin:

By-Law (if requested changes are passed by 2/3 majority at October 16^th meeting) to read as follows:

By-Law 27) Generators:


This is a seniors' park. Peace and quiet is our aim (see Mission Statement on Page 2) With consideration for your neighbours, the use of generators will be restricted during the daytime hours from 9am to 7pm for 2 hours of operation, twice daily. TO BE ADDED: However, for the evening after 7pm till 9am, overnight members staying at the park, can use generators for medical reasons, entertainment, eg: televisions/dvd players or heating/cooling and lighting your trailer.

By-Law 27) Generators: Submitted By Diane Kollman

I make a notice of motion that the use of a generator may be used from 9am – 9pm daily This is my reason, anyone with a medical problem and may need their generator, will feel more relaxed about staying at the park . If needed in a emergency after 9pm it can be turned on .There is always a lot of different noise of some kind in a camp ground. We are there to have fun,& relax.

I know this is a seniors park, IT IS NOT A NURSING HOME Dianne Kollman Lot # 1

Addition or amendment to Bylaws, 

submitted by Lionel Frigault

Category 33 (or where applicable)

Proposal:

Complaints/grievances must be signed and in writing, before being honoured and processed by the Board or Grievance Committee.

Rationale:

Too many complaints are verbalized and border on personal grudges, discrimination, gossip and hearsay. 

Putting them in writing and signed will assure complaints are well founded, serious and contravene an existing Bylaw.

Notes for change:

From Irene Drouin

1)To the Social Director: Relatives and friends may attend special functions for a price of $5 per person, with a maximum of 2 guests per member. The guests may be from out of town or in town. Additional seating can be brought in by members if required.

2) To the Park Manager/Treasurer/Board members: Please purchase and erect signs of NO TRESPASSING on both gates and at the beach. Please purchase and install two locks on both gates and provide members with a key and keep a list of each member that has a key. If a member leaves the park, the member must give back the key for the gates, if this is not done, the member leaving the park must pay for a new lock and keys for other members at the park.
