Discussion points: Why do we need a website? Not necessarily a website, but a place to find materials, events, bylaws for the regional group. Could be a section of the ABCLS website. Main reasons for a standalone website: website needs work Who will have the responsibility of updating the website and materials, perhaps it should be someone in our group rather than burdening someone at the Association office. Association and Board will be in talks about the website following the motion passed at the 2017 AGM, and there may be some discussion at the strategic meeting. Forward recommendations and ideas to Chad Rintoul. Action Item, Motion: Hans Troelsen– The Lower Mainland Regional Group Chair is requested to forward an expression of interest to the Association Board requesting our regional group have a sub-website within the updated Association website. Harry Hickman seconded, Motion Passed. – Stolen Equipment— The person that was stealing survey equipment is at large again Equipment other than total stations is being stolen around the lower mainland Spatial Solutions explained that only equipment with PIN security was recovered, recommendation to enable PIN function on applicable equipment. VPD requires a strong set of evidence for each theft to take any sort of action, so the reliance on VPD is low. Next Meeting: Thursday September 29, 2017 Meeting Adjournment 6:50 –
