Future Challenges

 

•  Potable water: Chlorination and sufficient supply. Financing capital improvements is a challenge for KBA.

• Fire Prevention: hydrant water supply, homeowners insurance coverage reminders

• Road maintenance: Continued grading, dust control, gravel.

• Head Lease: Extend this past expiry in 2056

• Tenant Lease: Improved wording to become mortgage/loan friendly

• Water Drainage: management of community water runoff plan

• Shoreline use: Clarification on access, sharing, residents “only”, shore improvements, permits, annual awareness. More residents - more demand. In the spring of 2020 KBA invited by KRA to develop a draft policy/guideline (ongoing).

• Soil and tree conservation: caution on removal and cutting

• Association Fee collection: the Associations only source of revenue.

• Green space (Little Arm Area): fire prevention, dumping, land damage

• Inter-Municipal Utilities Committee: Regina Beach, Kinookimaw, Buena Vista, and Lumsden Beach. (Fire, ambulance, landfill, lagoon, etc.) Continued sharing.

• Administration coordination: better record keeping, historical data transition and retention for KBA and KRA.

• Review/Update: The Kinookimaw Residents Association Bylaws update is required and may be in concert with not-for-profit registration if the Membership chooses to formally register.

• Improved street signage and updated mapping, especially for emergency response.
