This years AGM is on Mar. 12/06 in the Apex Mountain Inn. Registration starts at 2 pm with the meeting being called to order at 2:30. There will be reports from the President and Secretary as well as updates on the various committees. The various issues currently being addressed include the environment, the highways, the garbage, and the fire department. Jeff Plant will speak to us regarding the Apex Master Plan. We also have Bill Schwarz, RDOS repressentative for the Apex area. He will cover the Official Community Plan, the garbage and the Fire Protection Referendum which is coming up in April. He will address the voting process as well as the report from the Fire Underwriters Protection and projected savings on insurance. He will also be able to answer any questions you may have.
The referendum is on April 1/06 at hte RDOS office on Martin St. I believe the hours are from 8 am- 8pm. I am happy to say that they will also be doing an advanced poll at Apex on Mar. 22/06. This will likely happpen in the Hotel. When I know for sure I will update this.
