3.1. Meeting between ASIC, SIPOA and PRRD regarding barge site on Savary

Bud reported on the July 8th meeting in Powell River between SIPOA, Powell River Regional District and ASIC.

In attendance on behalf of PRRD were Patrick Brabazon, Regional District Chair, Al Radke, Chief Administrative Officer, Brenda Paquin, Manager of Administrative Services, and Mike Wall, Manager of Community Services). Representing the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations was Lands Officer, Brian Kukulies. SIPOA was represented by Ed Wooten and Farrell Eckmen. ASIC was represented by a Director from each area - Bryan Miles (Area A), Rick McLean (Area B) and Bud Graham (Area C).

Ed presented the issues that SIPOA has about the effect of the barge site on Malaspina Promenade and some proposed recommendations. Bud presented ASIC views on the barge site. There was a discussion about what it would required to develop an Indian Point Barge Site and a site located mid-island. The discussion focused on advantages and disadvantages. There was also discussion about the vehicles parked at the barge site and the garbage left there. All agreed that this was unacceptable.

The meeting was cordial but no consensus was reached on barge location or restrictions. Patrick emphasized that PRRD Directors have not yet decided whether they will apply to renew their license of occupation or even apply for full tenure. Bud informed those attending of ASIC's letter to PRRD asking them to renew their license for the site. Patrick also confirmed that PRRD would not sign any new sublicense without consultation with SIPOA and ASIC.

3.2. Public Washrooms

Ron brought forward a draft motion for the ASIC 2015 AGM. This motion presented a rationale for PRRD to develop some public washrooms on Savary as a regional expense and seeking ASIC members support for such a system of public washrooms. Directors expressed concern about not specifying the location of these public washrooms. After some discussion, it was agreed that the three fire hall locations controlled by the PRRD should be the recommended locations.

All Directors were in agreement with this idea. Ron will send around a revised draft of the motion later.
