2024 Budget and Membership Fees Review and Discussion

Proposal to increase yearly membership to $200 per lot, requiring a 2/3 majority to pass.

Extensive questions from the floor: whether the fire truck was the biggest expense (no — not expected to break even, just cover expenses when selling it); purchasing a new safety cargo trailer with installed shelving; a U-Haul van alternative for Fire & Safety; concern that the two KVCA-owned water tanks are heavy and have no brakes, and that the new cargo trailer will need surge brakes; where the water tanks would be placed; funding for a second AED; STARS coordinates on emergency signage; the KVCA’s role (documented in the constitution); and whether the fee increase could fund a consolidated playground development.

Presentation: Consolidating Development & Maintenance of Common Areas

Colin Stroeder

  • One common goal — community works together to develop uniformity. Plan is to break the task into 3 sections: combine services community-wide (ground maintenance, street cleaning, snow removal); capital projects such as the playground on a 3-to-5-year plan; and maintenance including grass cutting and the KV trail system.
  • Current biggest hurdle is getting both stratas on board. Volunteers are needed to create a masterplan and present a budget to KVCA for funding.

New Business from the Floor

  • Request to create a better communication tool from KVCA — more newsletters, a secure phone directory — and to keep communications small so people are more likely to read them.
  • A Welcome Letter has been drafted and will be sent to new KVCA lot owners. info@KVCA.ca is the best place to receive updated information.
  • Request from the floor to have the next AGM on the May long weekend.
