    2. Treasurers report no financial report as just done at AGM

    3. Correspondence none discussed

    4. Transport feedback

    Still trying to get feedback from AT re traffic calming devices/ kea crossings

    We could canvas the community for black spot feedback ask via the website as newslettertoo expensive

    Need to produce a short term and long term transport plan as per Joel Crayfords report

    5. Community Walkway

    Everyone like Whangamarie as the name for the walkway

    Andrew will get some basic signs done with Robyn but will investigate a carved entrance

    with George and Karl

    Moved, that PVI and Whakaupoko co-ordinate funding applications for future walkway and village signage

    Louise

    Paula Agreed

    6. McMiken subdivision

    The planners have opposed our submission plus the walkway seems to have disappeared

    We will get a hearing in front of the AC planning committee

    We could have a community meeting and invite Bruce and Trevor, the final subdivision plan is veryvague, the planners are aggressive and the community is unclear as to what the final plan actuallymeans for the village.

    Be good to have a community meeting as it is a significant site and the impact on the community willbe significant. Kevin expressed interest in being involved in organising this meeting. September?

    7. Other business

    a) Website: We may be underutilising the website, Vicki suggested that we put Paula on a retainer tomaintain the site and train others to use/post. Theres approx. 200 hrs. /year? Be good to have morepeople on email and using the website and get away from printed newsletters. Paula will work outhow many hours per month are required and well see how we can apply for funding. We should

    move to emailing newsletters with a few available to pick up in the dairy etc. b) Andrew and Louise went to Jim Diers workshop -Andrew did written summary but key points are:

    Aim for specific projects with obvious, visible projects

    Identify good communicators who spread the word

    Have fun/social time is important

    Not too much of the GDBS (Grim Determined Bastards!)

    Focus on the positive and on what your group can do and the talents you have you willhave more than you think!

    c) Possible walkway by railway line

    Possible project with rugby club, create an exercise circuit

    d) Priorities for possible projects

    1) McMiken meeting2) Community walkway signage and opening3) Traffic plan kea crossings and signage4) Plant fruit trees5) Community gardens6) Mauku clean stream

    e) Kevin suggested a small business support group offering free professional services to localbusiness, e.g. Health and Safety advice; need a BID but first need businesses to set this up.

    f) Peter asked about update on reserve land options in PVI spatial plan. We have been advised bylocal board that no more money is likely for Patumahoe, most allocated to projects such as Karaka.We will need to submit on unitary plan as it affects zoning (next June)
