Review of Notes from Previous Meetings: 
 

Review of CIF Board Selection Sub-Committee Activities.  

Craig reviewed the committee’s activities and outlined that the group had met on 28 May to review the applications that had been submitted.  He indicated that 9 applications had been received, six of which were from people who live outside of the defined area.  It was agreed that there must be more applications from people who have a direct connection to the area and that the CIF Board should be comprised of 50% plus one of members from the area.  Craig asked the current CLC members to consider sitting on the CIF Board.  Shazza Laframboise, Bryan Darrell and Craig Walkington agreed to serve on the CIF Board.  There was discussion surrounding the issue of whether Halifax CLC members could bypass the selection process and sit on the CIF Board. It was agreed that the corporate memory and experience that the CLC members have should be carried over to the CIF Board through the transfer of some CLC members. 
 
Motion - That designated members of the Halifax CLC be granted initial membership on the CIF Board until the first Annual General Meeting of the CIF Board.  Moved - Bryan / Seconded - Delaine - Carried. 
 
It was further agreed that applications would continue to be received for the near future, with the aim of conducting interviews and presenting a slate of proposed CIF Board Members for approval by the CLC on 19 June 2007.

Review of Draft Proposal from Bryan Darrell.  
The CLC discussed the pros and cons of Bryan’s draft operating model which would see proposals for CIF funding being referred by other organizations operating in the community.  This discussion evolved into the direction that the CLC could give to the soon to be formed CIF Board.  There is some concern that over the course of time the CIF Board will lose sight of the original objectives and mandate that were articulated to the CLC through its consultations with the community.  Mark said that he would investigate how to entrench the CLC desires in the CIF Board’s foundation documents
