Animal Management Plan #17
Discussion of this plan is noted in Board Meeting Minutes January 08:
Animal Management Plan #13
The community has asked the Board to approve uncontroversial Animal Management Plans directly, but to bring any controversial ones to a General Meeting for a vote. The attached AMP from Mark Green (photos of Mark Green’s original form, and a Board-typed copy) asks for approval to have introduced species not permanently contained by fencing, but just discouraged from wandering onto community land. Approval of this AMP could require Bylaw 8 to be amended, and will create a precedent for any other member to have uncontained animals wandering beyond the boundary of their own lot. This would be a significant enough change to warrant a vote by the whole community, so please read the attached AMP before the August AGM when it will be discussed and voted on. (The Board)
