6. Business Agenda

6.1. CBG Chair - Seat at the Table

• Presenters: Marcellus Anderson

• Project: Asking for a seat at the table, getting the opportunity to go in front of city council, when there is a project that concerns us, there needs to be representation from CHAPC there, “at the table”.

  • Nam Nguyen: Is their voice (CPC) part of the decision making? Depends on the decisions being made. How can community members voice their opinion, how is that communication going from us to them?

  • Russ: CPC works as a central point, the Chairs have the opportunity to take it back to their group and discuss, this means everyone wants a voice, we are giving input to CPC.

  • Marcellus to send CPC bylaws

  • Paul Jamason: Read in the news that this had already been seen by a council/committee and that there has been time reserved for these matters, the same group said no to this same proposal. The CPC representative will sometimes contradict what the groups/residents want and there is a lack of representation
