CIBRA Executive committee 2007:

Meetings:

Monthly, second Wednesday of each month (or by arrangement if a public holiday). Our monthly agenda is busy and includes monthly review with representative from the Traffic Department. Residents of the City Bowl are welcome to make a presentation, by prior arrangement, to the committee if the matter cannot be attended to otherwise, or if it requires the attention of the full committee.

Our AGM takes place during the month of May. CIBRA represents and acts of behalf of all living in the City Bowl, so all are welcome to attend, whether members or not.

Vacancies:

Two committee members finally really retired after many years of dedicated involvement; another member had to leave due to poor health and one resigned due to professional obligations. The committee, which we would like to comprise 16 members, is currently not up to strength and several portfolios are neglected due to insufficient participants.

The following portfolios need interested individuals:

- Marketing and membership promotion; Website marketing
- Website updates and liaison (actual web work is contracted to a web designer)
- Municipal services - electricity, water, cleansing, libraries
- Security & Safety
- Social services

Residents’ problems need not be like the weather, where everyone talks about it but no one does anything about it! Our meetings are conducted in a relaxed, informal mode - we are short on ceremony, long on substance. If you are a can-do person with a few hours to spare each month, if you believe that a little involvement works better than a lot of complaining, we would welcome you with open arms. If you are not sure, come to one our meetings (it’s a no-obligation offer!) and see if it’s the sort of things you can get interested in.

Conservation and Town Planning Advisory Panel:

CIBRA is assisted by an advisory panel made up of volunteer professionals in the fields of architecture, town planning and architectural history.

Volunteers are always sought to broaden the inputs, ensure a sufficient number of advisers at any one time and to spread the work amongst more individuals.

The panel meets once a month and also looks into matters in between, if necessary. It is not time consuming - all members are busy professionals with limited time to spare - and not all members are involved in all issues.
Participation in that panel would not add significantly to your schedule. If you have the appropriate background, contact us and we will put you in touch with existing panel members who can assist you in your decision to join or not.
