Dear Mayor McOune: ryu. Re: Letter of Support for the Adoption of a Flexible Ride-Sharing Regulation in the Province of BC
At the Monday, January 1sth, 2018 Regular meeting of Spallumcheen Council the following resolution of Council was passed:
"...THAT the Township otf Spallumcheen Councitr direct staff to provide a ietter of suppori to the City af Enderby regarding their inítiatives introduced at the 2017 UBCM for the province to implement legislation for a regulatory framewark that provides flexibility for programs sucå as ride-sharing programs fo supporf small, rural and remote communities where public transportation is limited.'
The Township of Spallumcheen Council agrees there is a need for solving passenger transpoÉation challenges in rural communities where public transit cannot accommodate the needs of residents within our rural communitíes. There is a great opportunity for increasing jobs related to casual part-time transportation services, like Uber as an example. These types of services allow job expansion for our residents, while supporting transportation for our residents.
As you have noted, ride-sharing programs could enhance our communities so long as there is a provincial regulatory regime that is attainable. Providing regulations and licensing for a safe and reliable service that promotes licensed individuals within the community supporting the community could vastly improve our transportation limitations. Residents could have much needed access for rides to medical and other related appointments as well as reduce impaired driving. This is a great opportuníty to also reduce alcohol related impaired driving potential and with the planned legalization of cannibas provides support for better decision making for all British Columbians when operating a motor vehícle.
Thank you for your leadership with regards to bringing this matter fonvard to the provincial level. Please accept this letter of support for these proactive initiatives that have great potential to improve lives within our area. lf you have any questions in this regard please contact the undersigned.

Honourable John Horgan, MLA Premier of British Columbia P.O. Box 9041 Stn Prov Govt Victoria, BC V8W 9El
Dear Premier Horgan:
Re: Alberta - British Columbia Trade War
The boycott of British Columbia wine to the Province of Alberta has a substantial financial threat to greater Oliver's agricultural sector, wine industry and tour¡sm sector. As Mayor of Oliver, I appeal to you as Premier of this great Province to engage now with Premier Notley to end this detrimental trade war.
Local workers, farmers, wine and tourism businesses in British Columbia will feel the immediate affect by loss of income. Every individual worker and business will be worse offfinancially, and the net loss to both provinces and our national economies will be significant. An inter- provincial trade dispute has far reaching affects but immediately to the local worker and business owner, who do not want this dispute to continue any longer.
Oliver is proud to be an agricultural community, and in recognition that it has the most acres of grapes and the most wineries of any single jurisdiction in Canada can declare itself as the Wine Capital of Canada. That being said, Oliver must defend itself against the impact of a trade war with the Province of Alberta.
A direct result of the boycott of British Columbia wine to the Province of Alberta is now threatening funding, through a bi-lateral agreement with the Government of Canada, to repair the Gallagher Lake Siphon. lf the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia cannot enter into a bi-lateral agreement, because of an inter-provincial trade dispute, the total potentíal losses to the Oliver area alone are approximately S172 million to the agriculture and wine industryi.

Economic lmpact - Gallagher Lake Siphon
The Town of Oliver water system provides water to customers inside the Town of Oliver as well as to customers in the surrounding rural area extending approximately L0 km north and 10 km south of the municipal boundaries. Town of Oliver water customers use water for typical uses such as:
(1) Drinking and cooking (2) Washing and sanitation (3) Commercial operations (4) lndustrial processes (5) lrrigation
Oliver is a rural community whose economy is based on primary and secondary agricultural businesses. Most farms served by the Oliver water system are family farms, many of which provide then primary or only source of income for the resident farmer. Secondary agricultural industríes include fruit packaging operations and approximately 25 separate wineries (LO% of all wineries in Canada).1
Oliver is declared the "Wine Capital of Canada" in recognition that it has the most acres of grapes and the most wineries of any single jurisdiction in Canada. In addition to adding value to local grape crops, wineries are also a major tourist draw for the area, including Oliver, Osoyoos and Penticton.
The natural climate and landscape of Oliver is classified as desert. The original creation of Oliver was the result of a major irrigation project built by the Provincial government as the South Okanagan Lands Project in the 1-920s. Without irrigation, crops grown in the Oliver area willfail. lf irrigation water is not available for an extended period, perennial plants (e.9. fruit trees and grape vines) will die. This will incur expensive replanting costs and will take from 5 to 7 years to recover full crop yields, resulting in losses extending over several years.
The Oliver water system supplies irrigation water to 401 connections for over 5,000 acres of agricultural crops. Almost 500 of these acres are on the Osoyoos lndian Reserve irrigating vineyards operated by the Osoyoos lndian Band.
1 Sou rce: www.winecapitalofcanada.com web site.
Page 23 of 43 City of Armstrong Regular Council Agenda February 26, 2018
Using mapping data supplied by the Ministry of Agriculture, it has been determined that the Town of Oliver provided irrigation water to the following crop areas:
Acres Grapes 2829.7 Apples 639.0 Cherries 629.6 Peaches/Nectarines 34L.8 Vegetables 37t.0 Tree fruit crop (mixed) 29.0 Plums 88.0 Apricots 32.0 Pasture and Forage 43.2 Pears L4.O Forestry stock 7.O Commercial greenhouse 28.0 Total Acres 5052.3
Based on crop values per acre supplied by the Ministry of Agriculture, the loss in the first year alone if irrigation water is disrupted would be approximately S39 million for Oliver water customers. lf water was disrupted for long enough to result in a die-off of perennial plant stocks, then based on Ministry of Agriculture data, the replanting cost would be approximately S28 million for Oliver water customers. After replanting, perennial plants typically take from five to nine years to resume full production. Assuming an average of 50% production loss over these recovery years, the further losses would total over SfO+ million. The total potential losses from the current year crop failure, replanting and crop recovery delays described above total approximatelV $tlZ million. This amount is for basic crop loss only at the farm gate.
For the 401 agricultural irrigation connections serviced by the town the average losses without water will be:
(L) Current year losses = S39 million / 40L = $97,300 / connection (2) Replanting cost = S28 million / 401- = 569,800 / connection (3) Recovery time losses = 5104 million / 401 = S259,350 / connection (4) Total potential loss = SL72 million / 401 = 5428,900 /connection
While farm sizes vary, a typical connection suffering the above losses services a LO-acre family farm. Value-added losses would be in addition to the above losses. For example, one ton of grapes valued at the farm gate at 52,000 will produce about 300 bottles of wine, which at S20 per bottle would be worth 56,000, producing a multiplier of 3.

Re: Retirement Letter for long-term milfoil control sugervisorsupervisor
Dear Mayor Pieper
On March 31“,31't, 2018,20L8, our Milfoil Control Supervisor, Mr. Ianlan Horner will be retiring after more than 33 years of service to the valley. lan started his career with the Water Board on January 1“,L't, 1985,L985, coming from an agricultural background, and has been instrumental in the development of the control program. When Ian lan began, our machines were very rudimentary,rudimentary not even providing a heated cab through winter conditions. Ianlan assisted in the studies to determine the best methods of milfoil control, and gave advice on each new iteration of control techniques and machinery. Throughout his 33 years, Ianlan treated milfoimilfoil l in every one of the major valley lakes, contributing to our healthy environment, and improving our tourism and recreational opportunities. He also trained several team members, and ended up as the supervisor for the program, and the Water Board's longest serving employee in our 50-year history.
Inln his spare time, Ianlan was a long-term volunteer with the Vernon Search and Rescue team, an avid horseman and kayaker. Ianlan will spend his retirement on his horse farm in Armstrong B.C.,8.C., withw¡th his wife Paula.
To show our collective appreciation to Ianlan for his long contribution to improving the quality of life in the Okanagan Basin, we are requesting letters of appreciation, or similar gestures for a long term employee from each municipal and regional government in the Okanagan Basin. Please forward letters to our office, and we will present them to Ianlan upon his retirement.
Please contact me if you have any questions.

At our February 5,2018 meeting, Council passed the following resolution for submission to AVICC (and UBCM) in relation to the upcoming legalization of marihuana.
WHEREAS large profits will be made by the Federal Government in the form of taxes once the Liberal Governmenf passes legislation permitting the recreational use of Marihuana in Canada. Enormous profits will be made through the manufacture, production and distribution of Marihuana.
AND WHEREAS the human cosf will be in the 100's of Mittionspossiöly Bittions of dollars. The tragic loss of humanity through addiction is immeasurabte. By tegatizing Marihuana the Federal Government will sanction and subsequently tegitimize /s use among Canadians.
AND WHEREAS if we have learned anything from the use of alcohol and tobacco there will be serious and often irreversible effects due to marihuana consumption. Treatment facilities have to be available for immediate and adequate response for alt Canadians, not iust for those who can afford private care. Trained professrbnals, care facilities and education have to be ahead of the need.
AND WHEREAS it is well studied that a proportion of any population is susceptible to becoming dependent on an addictive subsfance. This adds up to 10's even 100's of thousands of Canadians.
AND WHEREAS we have seen huge /egal assessments against tobacco and atcohot producers after the harm has already been done and lives lost. Decades ago tobacco producers denied the harmful effects of smoking, second hand smoke and the addictive nature of tobacco smoking. Health risks and the potential for addiction cannot be denied and is the direct responsibility of the Federal Government and manufacturers, producers and distributors of Marihuana.

Dear Minister Farnworth
RE: Revenue from Gannabis Sales - Equitable Share hetween Province and Local Governments
As the decriminalization of cannabis by the Federal Government is fast approaching, Local Governments in British Columbia have been discussing and developing draft regulations that will dictate land use, business operations and enforcement activities necessary to properly manage the sale and use of cannabis in our communities.
We understand the arangement has been set by the Federal Government to share 75% of the sales revenue with the Provinces and Territories. We fully understand that the Province of BC will have sígnificant costs associated with the creation and implementation of distribution processes and procedures for both wholesale and retail sales.
Local Governments in BC will also have significant costs in the creation and administration of various bylaws, policies, and procedures to ensure the safe and appropriate siting of sales outlets, the administration of sales and usage as well as the ultimate enforcement of these activities.
We respectfully request that you as Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General urge your colleagues in Cabinet to consider sharing the revenues received from the Federal government equally between the Province and the Local Governments as a 50/50 split. We support other communities' requests for the same revenue sharing formula, and are of the opinion that this is equitable and appropriate to cover the costs associated with the responsibilities of each level of government in BC.
Sincerely, wLL:AAF OF CFIASE

The Honourable Selina Robinson Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing CITY OF Parliament Buildings PO Box 9B3B STN PROV COVT FEB 2 2 ZUIE Victoria, BC VBV 1X4 ARMSTRCNG Re: Cannabis Sales Revenue Sharing
As expressed by other local governments within BC, there is a need to discuss impacts to local governments and to share in the revenue generated from the implementation of the legalization of cannabis.
Current discussions regarding revenue sharing involve the Federal and Provincial governments with no inclusion of local governments. Ultimately, the legalization will entail additional costs for local governments both in social and policing costs. A Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) paper is stating that the impact may affect policing, fire services, building codes, city planning, municipal licensing and standards, public health, social services, communications, law, etc.
The District of Sicamous is requesting your support, by agreeing to 50% of the provincial share of the cannabis tax sharing formula be provided to local governments. This is an adequate and equitable share to help support costs and services incurred by local governments.
Regards, DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS /*/tv

Dear Minisler Farnworth :
Re: Revenue from Cannabis $ales - Equitable Share between Prcvince and Local Government
As expressed by other local governments, the City of Enderby strongly supports the sharing of revenue generated by the sale of cannabis with local government.
The legalization of cannabis will result ín additional costs for local government. The financial impact on localgovernments include social servlces, land use, planning, þusiness licensing, bylaw enforcement, and fire services.
The City of Enderby respect[ully requests that the Province agrees to share at least 50% of its cannabis'related revenues with localgovernments. This will help local governments offset some of the costs associated with legalization and ensure that taxpayers, and the local government programs they rely on, are not unduly burdened by this decision.
Sincerely
Greg McCune Mayor
