Key priorities/concerns were identified as follows:

- Beautification of 2 entrances to Observatory Hill

- Have a social event to promote more interaction among residents, e.g.: neighbourhood party/fireworks at Gapper Park

- Members felt that the Bayview/Fern exit was hazardous (what can be done about it?). Can sign be changed to allow residents to make right hand turn from Bayview between 7-9 am?

- Many voiced concerns about speeding on Fern and Gordon Rowe

- Enforcement of overnight street parking

- Unsecured garbage and Blue Box items often become scattered throughout the subdivision (often because these items and yard waste are left at curb for days or weeks)

- Graffiti – contact utilities and make request that they clean the graffiti from their respective utility cabinets, mailboxes, etc.

- Access to Super Mailboxes from the streets during winter – will Canada Post shovel path?

The OHHA will generate a newsletter outlining details of this meeting.

Volunteers were requested to distribute these newsletters and encourage other residents to become members of the OHHA.

It was decided that OHHA meetings will be held approximately every 3 months at this location at a rental cost of $25 for the room per meeting.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:40 pm.
