Her Worship, Mayor Linda Buchanan:

A City for People: A Healthy City for All

It is my great privilege to present my Inaugural Address for this, my first term as Mayor for the City of North Vancouver. Continued…

The Corporation of the City of North Vancouver Page 2 Inaugural Council Meeting Minutes of November 5, 2018 7. MAYOR’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS - Continued

Thank you for the confidence and support you have shown me by electing me to serve as the 19th Mayor, and the 3rd female Mayor to sit in the City’s 112th year; a fact I am extremely proud of.

Congratulations to Councillors Bell and Back on their re-election, and welcome to four new members of Council: Councillors Girard, Hu, McIlroy and Valente.

The Message of this Election

Elections are often times of change and this past election was no exception.

Of the 20 municipalities of the Lower Mainland, only four will see incumbent Mayors return to office.

The North Shore, too, will see important change, as three new Mayors are sworn-in tonight.

The introduction of four new faces on this Council represents the single largest change in the leadership of our City that has occurred since the 1970s or 1980s.

But as much as change was in the air in this past election, the citizens of our community voted decisively for a Council that, in the words of our local press, is decidedly “urbanist” in perspective.

While many issues were debated through this last election – the redevelopment of Harry Jerome Recreation Centre, growth, density, traffic, possible amalgamation with the District of North Vancouver, and many others, small and large – our citizens returned a Council whose members by-and-large embrace the notion that North Vancouver is a City, not only in name, but in spirit, and that we are forging a unique place here on the North Shore that is defined by its distinctly urban character, especially in relation to the largely suburban municipalities that surround us.

In this regard, our citizens have urged us in this election to build on our successes as a community and to continue in a direction that has been defined by our predecessors.

What does this mean for the next four years?

I am deeply passionate about our community and, in particular, the people. People are what cities are about.

• I believe we live in an amazing City; • I believe in the people who make up our City; • I believe we are going to do something great together over the next four years.

More and more research tells us our health is influenced largely by our lifestyle and habits, than our genetics or access to traditional health services. Continued…

The Corporation of the City of North Vancouver Page 3 Inaugural Council Meeting Minutes of November 5, 2018 7. MAYOR’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS - Continued

It is the social and environmental factors, such as the neighbourhoods we live in; our ability to walk or cycle to the shops and services we need; our employment; having access to housing and public transportation; locally grown food; clean air, water and proper sanitation; access to education; parks, open space, and our connection to one another are the things that matter.

In fact, our health is very much influenced by the very things we do here at City Hall, starting with the decisions we make at this table and, how together, we work and share this responsibility with our citizens, the broader community and our community partners to create A Healthy City for All.

My vision for our City is to be the “healthiest small city in the world”.

I believe as a Council, staff and community, we need to continually build our capacity and understanding as we respond to global issues at the local level in a meaningful way.

As a City we need to ensure that the services and programs the City supports, our built form, and the way in which we engage with our citizens not only lifts each and every one of us up, from our youngest to oldest citizen, but also increases the health and happiness of our community as a whole.

Our Official Community Plan provides an excellent foundational document to move us forward.

Housing, and access to housing, is fundamental in creating a healthy community.

There is no doubt that we are living through the most intense crisis of housing affordability in this region’s history.

Almost everywhere I go I meet people anxious to find a place for their aging parents, their children or themselves.

It also has a real impact on business. Business owners (big and small) that I talk to are finding it harder and harder to attract and retain the employees they need.

This is why, as a City, we must continue to tackle the issue of housing and affordability to ensure our City is a place where youth, families and seniors can continue to call home.

But let’s be clear: our urban character does not mean growth anywhere and everywhere.

For me, our success as a community has depended upon growth that is at the right pace, in the right place and that is the right kind.

Our Official Community Plan establishes limits to annual growth – limits that have been observed and that we need to continue to observe.

Nor should we expect to see growth in every neighbourhood – or certainly not the same kind of growth. Continued…

The Corporation of the City of North Vancouver Page 4 Inaugural Council Meeting Minutes of November 5, 2018 7. MAYOR’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS - Continued

One measure of our success as a community is that increasingly people are choosing public and alternative forms of transportation to live, work and play.

In fact, we now see in North Vancouver rates of public transit use that rival those of some areas of Vancouver such as the West End.

An integral part of this accomplishment has been our community plan that puts high density growth where it belongs: on the major transportation routes – which is to say along Lonsdale, Marine Drive, Esplanade and 3rd Street – areas that have long been planned for higher density growth.

In turn, this kind of development has contributed so much to the vitality of our commercial and retail sector and made places like Lower Lonsdale a “go to” place for people from across the North Shore and across Burrard Inlet.

But an equal measure of our success has come by ensuring that growth and density in what have traditionally been lower density or single family neighborhoods is “gentle” in character – basement suites, coach houses and other forms of alternative housing form that fits the character of these neighbourhoods.

But we need to be aware that this kind of support can as easily evaporate if we fail to heed the broad direction of the OCP as it has been laid out.

Community Building

Equally, we need to recall that buildings don’t make a community; people do.

As much as we use our Official Community Plan to set the pace of development and its scale, it is as important – today more than ever – that we get the right kind of development.

Around us we find communities that are becoming more and more exclusive as more and more people find that a home – be it rental, supported rental or affordable ownership – is out of reach.

The City of North Vancouver has been a leader in the region in trying to run against this tide – but as the current affordability crisis continues we must redouble our efforts.

As we begin this new term, I want to challenge my colleagues on Council, as well as our staff, both to continue to use the tools and options that we’ve used in the past and to find new tools, new options for helping our City remain an inclusive place and a caring place.

We cannot let idleness or a lack of creativity stand in the way of ensuring that old and young, singles and families, newcomers and people who have spent their lives here, can have the assurance that North Vancouver can be their home.

In doing so we must also look beyond land use and development, we must go beyond a view of our Community Plan that reduces its many pages to just those few that deal with height and density. Continued…

The Corporation of the City of North Vancouver Page 5 Inaugural Council Meeting Minutes of November 5, 2018 7. MAYOR’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS - Continued

We must pay attention to all those other chapters (and there are eight more) that speak to the programs and services, the public spaces, the infrastructure that makes our City a people place.

We know that as people’s dwellings become necessarily smaller, so much more of their lives will take place in collective spaces – in parks, in plazas, in restaurants, in coffee shops, in libraries, in recreation centres.

Again, I challenge this Council and our City staff to continue to find new ways to ensure that our public realm is a truly human space, that is focused on the quality of living for our residents, not simply in a passive way because of the manner in which it is laid out, but in an active way through a change in built form and events and programs that will make a welcoming City for all.

All the best advice now suggests that one of the most important community challenges we will face in the next decades will be one of social isolation.

How we tackle that – and, especially, how we tackle that for those who are most at risk (seniors, youth, lone parent families, people living with disabilities, citizens with no social support, new Canadians) – will determine whether or not we can become the caring and inclusive community that we all aspire to.

My vision of A Healthy City for All includes transforming Lonsdale to the “Best High Street in Canada”.

Great streets are for people.

There is no street in Canada, that I am aware of, such as Lonsdale, where you can stand, look north and see Mountains and look south and see the Ocean.

A street that is book-ended with world renowned Arts and Culture facilities; heritage; and is home to a number of our businesses that are owned and operated by members of the Farsi speaking community, the Vietnamese and Filipino Community, to name a few – it is a good reminder that we are an entire community of people that came from somewhere else and together we need to create a sense of belonging and inclusion and learn from one another. Doing so makes us a richer and stronger community.

As your Mayor, I want my message to be clear the City is open to business.

We have seen first-hand over the past year the positive impact that the Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area has made in fostering a sense of place and connection for residents and tourists, all while supporting the small business community.

We must ensure this success story is replicated in other commercial areas of the City beyond Lonsdale.

The Port Industries are a vital component of our local economy with the high paying jobs they produce, and connect us to the larger economy of the Province and Canada. Continued…

The Corporation of the City of North Vancouver Page 6 Inaugural Council Meeting Minutes of November 5, 2018 7. MAYOR’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS - Continued

As a City we must continue to work with them and support their success.

With the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce we need to continually work to retain and attract both small and large businesses on the North Shore.

Over this term this work, along with other key stakeholders, will include looking at moving forward on a Health Economic Hub in Central Lonsdale, workforce housing and supporting improvements in transportation.

Transportation

Quite correctly, many in this past election pointed to transportation as one of the key issues we must confront.

The City of North Vancouver has been a leader in the region – and certainly on the North Shore – in providing public transit and alternative transportation solutions that will, in the long term, be crucial to helping the region and our City solve issues of traffic congestion and they are critical to our health.

While some will say we have been doing more than our part on this front, it makes no sense for us as a community to sacrifice our leadership on this file.

And I want to challenge staff and Council together to continue to build a community in which public transit or alternative transportation become convenient and effective options for people as they go about their lives.

Specifically over this term this includes, a critical focus on improving the walkability of the City; connecting the “two sides of the City” which are intersected by Highway 1, by moving forward on the Casano-Loutet Overpass and the Upper Levels Greenway; and the implementation of an electric bike share program all while updating the Bike Master Plan.

Cornerstone to all this work will be a primary focus on the safety of all road users, more specifically on the most vulnerable road users – the pedestrian and the cyclist.

But as much as we pursue these options, we cannot relieve our partners on the North Shore or other levels of government of their obligations as regards to traffic in our community.

In 1958, we had nine lanes on bridges connecting North Vancouver to the rest of Metro Vancouver. Today, we have nine lanes.

But today, as well, we see communities here on the North Shore where more and more there is a divide between people who live there and people who work there – a divide that is making Highway 1, 3rd Street and the Low Level Road regular bottlenecks.

We cannot much longer endure a situation where our commitment to doing the right thing in terms of housing and alternative transit finds little or no support in neighboring communities and where the kinds of infrastructure commitments that, other communities in Metro Vancouver receive, are not provided to North Vancouver in equal measure. Continued…

The Corporation of the City of North Vancouver Page 7 Inaugural Council Meeting Minutes of November 5, 2018 7. MAYOR’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS - Continued

As Mayor, I am committed to the recommendations of the Integrated North Shore Transportation Planning Project.

I will continue to pressure our senior government representatives for our fair share and I am optimistic and hopeful that the relationship with the other North Shore Mayors will be positive and productive and that we will represent the North Shore as one voice.

Relations with other Governments

Indeed, as your Mayor, I will continue to strike a balance in our relations with all our partner governments: showing leadership on the issues that will make a difference today and into the future; relentlessly defending the interests of the people of our community; and doing so in a spirit of collaboration and mutual respect.

I will continue a proud tradition that stretches back through many Mayors of making North Vancouver a leader at Metro Vancouver and at the TransLink Mayors’ Council.

As well, I want to collaborate with key provincial and federal initiatives, in particular the provincial plan to review and reform the development approvals process, which is close to 100 years old, emphasizes division and conflict, that undermines efforts to build community and ultimately can lead to increased housing costs.

I will ask our staff to help draft proposals based on their experiences that will help us and the Province as a whole move forward on this issue.

In addition, I want to look at ways to partner with both the federal and provincial government to leverage available funding for housing and transportation, as well as for the renewal of our waste water disposal system.

While this is by no means as exciting an issue as transit, if we do not get the infrastructure funding we need or ensure we fund this locally in an effective way, our residents could well bear a future utilities tax burden that will make a significant difference in the viability of many households in our community.

From our innovative Lonsdale Energy Corporation, to the development of cutting edge energy efficiency standards for new buildings, to a plan to measure and reduce both corporate and community GHG emissions, to a Parks Master Plan that has rehabilitated creeks and forests throughout our community, the City has been a leader in the region in terms of sustainability.

We cannot surrender that leadership.

Nor can we surrender our leading record of fiscal sustainability.

We enjoy some of the largest fiscal reserves and lowest average household taxes throughout the region. This fiscal framework has given us the opportunity to show leadership on so many other fronts. Continued…

The Corporation of the City of North Vancouver Page 8 Inaugural Council Meeting Minutes of November 5, 2018 7. MAYOR’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS - Continued

As we move forward in funding needed infrastructure and capital improvements, we cannot forget our obligation to ensure our financial advantages for future Councils and future generations.

And in this context let me speak frankly about the issue of the replacement of the Harry Jerome Recreation Centre – an issue that attracted much attention during and in the run-up to the last election.

I am absolutely committed to seeing the replacement of this important community centre.

But I want to challenge staff and Council to find a way to do so at a price that is far below the nearly one quarter of a billion dollars that the last Council approved to fund this project.

That figure is too high; it carries too many risks and must be reduced.

On issues of recreation, fire services, police services, arts and culture and many others, the two North Vancouvers have a solid record of delivering services to people in a cost effective way on the basis of a “shared-service” model.

I have been a supporter of this model in the past and I will continue to be so in the future.

But let me be clear: I know no member of this Council who supports the idea of amalgamation of the two North Vancouvers – an idea that would reverse more than a century of development during which our communities have become very distinct.

Quite apart from this Council, I have found no powerful interests in our citizens in pursuing this option.

While I will continue to champion our shared services and collaborations with other local governments, amalgamation is off the table for this term of Council.

The Relation between City Hall and Our Community / Our Citizens

As I close, I want to address one final, important issue that we will need to come to terms with as we launch ourselves into this term of Council – and that is the relationship between what we do in these chambers and the people who entrust us to be here.

It also includes the relationship with our youngest citizens, who are yet too young to vote, but whose voice absolutely matters.

The business we conduct in these chambers is absolutely important. The public input we receive at the outset of each Council meeting, in public hearings and public meetings, and in the early public input process for development applications is equally important.

But we need to recognize that these opportunities and these issues limit our interactions with the public as much as they facilitate them. Continued…

The Corporation of the City of North Vancouver Page 9 Inaugural Council Meeting Minutes of November 5, 2018 7. MAYOR’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS - Continued

In a world where so many people in our community find it difficult to be here for these meetings and where their interests extend far beyond the issues of development around which public input is most often encouraged, we need to find new ways to engage our citizens on their terms.

To build a truly caring community we need to have a deeper understanding of the people who live in our City and the circumstances that impact their lives.

The stories of their lived experiences need to be told, acknowledged and reflected in the way we design our City.

That means continuing to communicate to the public about what we are doing as a Council and a Corporation, but putting an emphasis on true engagement that emphasizes the exchange of ideas as much as the sharing of messages.

It means finding new ways – in an age of new social media tools – of helping people participate “virtually” on issues from development to social inclusion.

It means ensuring our committee structure, which too often reflects issues whose importance is long past, stays relevant and engaged with the realities of our citizens today and that the thread of engagement is pulled through each of these committees.

It means ensuring that effective public engagement is measured, not only by the number of messages sent and received, but as by the diversity of voices that are coming to the table – and that will mean a new way of not simply being open to public input, but of soliciting it from people who might not regularly find themselves engaged with or inspired by “municipal” issues.

So as we end the formal portion of tonight’s proceedings, I want to first say to our staff, I believe you are an amazingly talented group of professionals and I thank you for choosing to work at the City.

I have challenged you on a number of things this evening, and I want you to be innovative, to think outside the box, to be bold, and take risks (within reason), knowing that sometimes we may not get it right. From there we learn and adapt.

I want you each and every day to be inspiring; to be inspired by others; and never lose sight of our focus: people.

To Council, I am so excited to get to work as a team, and together as a Council provide the leadership to find the solutions and make the decisions at this table that will create A City for People: A Healthy City for All.

And finally, to you the citizens, I want to once again say how humbled I am – and I think I speak for all of Council when I say this – by the trust that our people have placed in us.

Continued…

The Corporation of the City of North Vancouver Page 10 Inaugural Council Meeting Minutes of November 5, 2018 7. MAYOR’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS - Continued

And along with the rest of Council I pledge to fulfill that trust to the best of my ability for each and every day I will be lucky enough to serve you, our citizens.

Walkability Surface and Health and Economic Benefits Study Update RECEIVED

The Board received for information an update on the ongoing Walkability Surface Project and the Documenting Health and Economic Benefits of Sustainable Development and Transport Investment in the Lower Mainland Study.

Since 2016, Metro Vancouver has been partnering with TransLink and the UBC Health and Community Design Lab on two initiatives: the Walkability Surface and the Health and Economic Benefits Study.

These two initiatives are related and contribute to Metro Vancouver's efforts to integrate land use and transportation planning, build compact and complete communities, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Walkability Surface will support Metro Vancouver's monitoring and evaluation role by serving as a Key Summary Measure in the Metro 2040 Performance Monitoring Dashboard. The Health and Economic Benefits Study will provide a better understanding of how different elements of the built environment impact and influence health outcomes and costs. These studies will provide evidence and help to communicate the social and financial benefits of implementing Metro 2040's vision of complete, walkable communities with good access to parks, greenspace, and transit.

Co-Leading the Regional Long Range Growth Scenarios Project with TransLink APPROVED

The TransLink Board and Mayors' Council have invited Metro Vancouver to partner with TransLink and the Province of British Columbia on the scenario planning phase of the update to the Regional Transportation Strategy. Partnering with TransLink in developing integrated scenarios to explore plausible futures would support the closer integration of land use and transportation planning and assist in the creation of a long term vision for the region.

The Board endorsed a partnership between Metro Vancouver and TransLink for the development of regional long range growth scenarios that will inform the development of both the next Regional Transportation Strategy and the next Regional Growth Strategy; and authorized staff to partner on targeted public engagement in communicating and seeking input on the shared long range scenarios with a view to closely integrating transportation and growth planning over the long-term.

Current expansion plans could result in an increase in dog waste collected to 570 tonnes over the next five years. The Board received an update on dog waste diversion in the region.

Update on Illegal Dumping Statistics and Programs RECEIVED

The Board received a report on regional illegal dumping statistics and to summarize prevention strategies and enforcement tools adopted by member municipalities to reduce illegal dumping.

In 2017, member municipalities reported approximately 38,800 incidents of illegal dumping and spent approximately $2.9 million to clean up and properly dispose of the abandoned waste. A similar amount is spent annually on bulky item pick-up and other municipal programs for a total of approximately $5 million spent annually for removing illegally dumped material and managing pick-up programs. Raising awareness through signage, education campaigns and community material drop-off events appear to be effective in decreasing the number of incidents of illegal dumping for some municipalities.

Financial Management Policy APPROVED

The Board approved the Financial Management Policy, which establishes the principles that will guide decision making with respect to funding long term operating and capital expenditures for the Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD), Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District (GVS&DD), the Metro Vancouver Regional District (MVRD) and the Metro Vancouver Flousing Corporation (MVFIC). The principles outlined in the Financial Management Policy are consistent with sound financial management for maintaining a sustainable financial position. The policy supports the use of annual revenues to fund all operating expenditures as well as the level of capital (infrastructure) expenditures that are incurred consistently from year to year. Long-term debt funding will only be used for funding those capital expenditures above the consistent level of annual capital spending.

Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Borrowing Bylaw No. 321, 2018 APPROVED

Metro Vancouver regularly secures long-term financing to fund infrastructure related expenditures. In order for the GVS&DD to facilitate this necessary financing, the procedure, similar to municipalities, begins with the passing of a Borrowing Bylaw authorizing borrowing from the MFA through the MVRD. Borrowing Bylaws are sent to the regional district for inclusion in a Regional District Security Issuing Bylaw. Once all legal requirements (such as Inspector of Municipalities approval) are met, the borrowing and security issuing bylaws are forwarded to the MFA as the maximum accumulated borrowing authority and is drawn down overtime based on actual borrowing.

The Board approved an additional $2,100,000,000 borrowing limit to fund capital infrastructure activities within the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District, and gave first, second and third reading to the Borrowing Bylaw and forwarded it to the Inspector of Municipalities for statutory approval.

GVS&DD Hospital Pollution Prevention Bylaw No. 319, 2018 and Sewer Use APPROVED Amendment Bylaw No. 320, 2018

To better regulate the discharge of wastewater from hospitals, a regulatory bylaw has been developed requiring hospitals in the region to develop and submit a Pollution Prevention Plan. Core requirements addressed in the Pollution Prevention Plan include the disposal of biomedical waste, unused drugs, formaldehyde, 'silver-rich' solutions, and fats, oils and grease to the sanitary sewer. To develop the proposed Bylaw extensive engagement was conducted with hospital staff, including subject matter experts and senior management.

The Board gave first, second and third reading to Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Hospital Pollution Prevention Bylaw No. 319, 2018; and passed and finally adopted the bylaw.

Then, the Board gave, first, second and third reading to Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Sewer Use Amendment Bylaw No. 320, 2018; and passed and finally adopted the bylaw.

GVS&DD Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Amendment Bylaw No. APPROVED 323,2018

The Board approved the following amendments to the Tipping Fee Bylaw effective January 1, 2019:

I. Tipping Fees to change as follows: a. Tipping Fees for Garbage (per tonne): Municipal Garbage $108 Up to 1 tonne $142 1 tonne to 9 tonnes $120 9 tonnes and over $90 b. Generator Levy at $42 per tonne (included in Tipping Fee)

II. Clarify that noxious weeds can be disposed of as garbage or as green waste;

III. Include paint containers with paint under product stewardship materials; and

IV. Include rigid packaging (boxes and cartons) made from composite materials in the disposal ban program.

Then the Board gave first, second and third reading to Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Amendment Bylaw No. 323, 2018; and passed and finally adopted the bylaw.

Consideration of Reducing GVS81DD Development Cost Charges for Student Housing APPROVED Post-secondary institutions have articulated concern that DCCs increase the cost of building new student housing, which is generally built as not-for-profit and without the inclusion of land value. Rent is based on a cost recovery model, and lower construction costs help moderate rents. As a result, eight post­ secondary institutions requested that new student housing be eligible for waiver from GVS&DD DCCs. They have requested the same from TransLink related to the proposed transit DCC.

More student housing on campus would also lessen the impact of student transportation on the region's transportation network and associated GHG impacts by enabling more students to live onsite. As such, there is a public benefit to supporting the development of student housing. However, it is noted that this DCC reduction is distinctly different than the 100% waiver approved by the Board for non-profit affordable housing which is built specifically to address the needs of low income households.

The Board approved the reduction of GVS&DD Development Cost Charges for student housing by 50%; and gave first, second and third reading to Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Development Cost Charge Waiver for Affordable Housing Amending Bylaw No. 322, 2018; then passed and finally adopted the bylaw.

Rawn Report Amendment 22, Bylaw No. 318, 2018 RECEIVED APPROVED

Newton Sanitary Trunk Sewer No. 1 is located in the City of Delta. Through infrastructure upgrades, that sewer is no longer serving a regional purpose as all flows in the pipe originate within the City of Delta. The City of Delta has requested that the main be transferred from the GVS&DD to Delta to be operated as a local collector pipe. A transfer agreement is being considered separately between the City of Delta and the GVS&DD to transfer ownership and operation of the GVS&DD facility, known as Newton Sanitary Trunk Sewer No. 1, which is part of Plan F of the Rawn Report. An amendment of Plan F of the Rawn Report is required to reflect the transferred infrastructure. The GVS&DD Act allows changes to the Rawn Report, but only through a Bylaw passed by the Board.

The Board gave first, second and third reading to the Rawn Report Amendment 22, Bylaw No. 318, 2018; and, passed and finally adopted the bylaw.

GVS&DD 2019 Budget and 2019 - 2023 Financial Plan APPROVED

Summer 2018 Water Supply Performance RECEIVED

The Board received a preliminary review of water use and water supply system performance during summer 2018.

The Metro Vancouver region experienced an abnormally dry and warm May, followed by periods of hot and dry weather in June to mid-August. Duringthese periods, water use was unseasonably high. Weather conditions returned to seasonal norms in mid-to-late August, with average temperatures and rainfall.

Water use in May through mid-August was above normal due to abnormally hot and dry weather. Peak water use occurred in early August and was above the levels seen in 2017. Summer 2018 was the first summer the new Drinking Water Conservation Plan (DWCP) water restrictions were implemented and also the first summer since the Board endorsed best practices for local governments relating to DWCP education, compliance monitoring and enforcement. Water use on Mondays and Tuesdays has been reduced, as lawn watering by residential users is no longer permitted on these days. These reductions were partially offset by higher usage on Wednesday and Thursdays. These reductions in water use demonstrate the benefits of water conservation measures and campaigns by Metro Vancouver and member local governments.

Award of Contract Resulting from Tender No. 18-251: Construction - Port Mann APPROVED Main No. 2 (South) Part A and B

The Board authorized award of a contract in the amount of $17,020,735 (exclusive of taxes) to Sandpiper Contracting LLP for Part A and B resulting from Tender No. 18-251 for the construction of Port Mann Main No. 2 (South).

Annual Update on Fisheries Initiatives in the Capilano, Seymour & Coquitlam Watersheds RECEIVED

The Board received an update on fisheries initiatives and activities associated with the Capilano, Seymour and Coquitlam Watersheds.

Metro Vancouver continues to proactively participate in a variety of meaningful fisheries initiatives throughout GVWD's watershed lands located both above and below the dams. A key Metro Vancouver objective is to ensure fisheries protection and enhancement initiatives are evaluated, planned and implemented in a manner that consistently meets the Corporation's mandate of providing consistently high quality drinking water supplies.

Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management in Liquid Waste and Water Utilities RECEIVED The Board received a report about trends in Metro Vancouver's energy use, costs, and greenhouse gas emissions for the Liquid Waste and Water utilities from 2013 through 2017, as well as highlights of Metro Vancouver energy- and climate-related projects and initiatives completed in recent years.

Metro Vancouver has demonstrated progress toward strategic directions identified by the Board regarding energy conservation and recovering energy, transitioning to clean or renewable resources for energy, increasing energy efficiency, evaluating opportunities for energy generation and recovery, and reducing GHG emissions. Progress has also been made toward completing the directives set out in the Corporate Energy Management Policy. Establishing realistic energy performance improvement targets and assigning clear accountability for achieving those targets are seen as the next critical steps in effective policy implementation.

ATTACHMENTS: (Include document numbers)

1. Children and Youth Initiatives Fund Grant Guidelines (Document #1346842) 2. Summary of Children and Youth Initiatives Grant Applications 2018 (Document #1718556)

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this report is to present to Council the 2018 Children and Youth Initiatives Fund grant recommendations for the Children and Youth Initiatives Fund.

BACKGROUND:

Since 1998, the City has disbursed the Children and Youth Initiatives Fund to provide seed money to support or initiate events, programs and services for children and youth in the City of North Vancouver. All activities supported by this fund must be based in the City of North Vancouver, or be of primary benefit to children and youth residents in the City. Applicants are encouraged to involve children and youth who are not normally involved in community activities. Grants approved under this fund shall be for new events, programs or services, or to enhance existing events, programs or services which have proven beneficial to young members of our community.

DISCUSSION:

For the third year, the City conducted the intake for the Child and Youth grants in September, rather than in March to coincide with the youth award applications. This change was made to better accommodate funding cycles and planning timelines for service providers. Staff noted that applications for the grants over the past two years have been diverse in needs served, and high in quality - and will therefore continue with a fall granting cycle. Attachment #1 is a copy of the Child and Youth Grant Guidelines. The intake of the 2018 Children and Youth Initiatives Fund was widely publicized. Direct emailing occurred to schools, the North Shore Youth Coalition, Parent Advisory Councils, non-profit societies, and the Recreation and Culture Commission. The grants were also advertised through several social media channels, including the City of North Vancouver ’s Facebook page, Twitter feed, and website.

The Review Committee included Cassandra Buckley, member of the Social Planning Advisory Committee, Kyle McMurray, Youth Centre Coordinator at North Shore Neighbourhood House, Slava Koshukov and Alexandra Sanchez, students, Olivia Tomlinson, student and May Yao, Community Service Coordinator at Bodwell High School. The Review Committee discussed how to identify conflicts of interest, and the importance of distributing the grants in an equitable and fair manner. The Committee met on October 16, 2018 to review the applications and prepare recommendations for Council ’s consideration.

Page 3 of 5 REPORT: 2018 Children and Youth Initiatives Fund - Special Project Grant Applications Date: November 15, 2018

Twenty-one applications were received totalling a request of $52,793, from an available fund balance of $20,500. The Review Committee is recommending that 13 out of the 21 applicants receive funding, for a total allocation of $20,500. The committee felt that these applications met the needs of a diverse population of students, as well as addressing the emerging needs of young people. Many of the projects funded are new initiatives, and represent a variety of interests for young people, including physical fitness, the arts and youth philanthropy. Although many of the applications met grant guidelines, the limited amount of funds meant that many applications were not successful. The Review Committee took into consideration the number of City youth that would be served and the history of past funding through this granting program. Attachment #2 provides a summary of the applications received and the recommendations of the Review Committee.

Review of Child and Youth Initiative Grants

Over the past five years, the requests for the Child and Youth Initiative Fund have steadily increased. As the number of services for young people grow to meet the demands of the community, so has the need for financial support. Since the initiation of this grant program in 1998, there has never been an increase in dispersible funds. Staff recommend a review of the granting process, and reporting back to Council in the New Year with recommendations.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

If Council approves the recommendations of the Review Committee, $20,500 will be allocated from the Children and Youth Initiatives Fund.

INTER-DEPARTMENTAL IMPLICATIONS:

The Civic Projects Team and the Directors ’ Team reviewed and endorsed this report at their joint meeting on November 13, 2018.

CORPORATE PLAN AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

Social Plan

• To promote an environment....which supports the growth and development of youth to be successful, independent and valued citizens. • Promote and highlight positive contributions made by youth to the community. • To encourage a continuum of relevant support services and opportunities for youth and their families that are accessible, affordable, accountable, innovative, and proactive ”.

From: L. R. Orr, Manager, Business Services SUBJECT: BUSINESS LICENCE BYLAW, 2018, NO. 8640, AMENDMENT BYLAW, 2018, NO. 8691 (ENACTMENT DATE)

Date: November 13, 2018 File No: 09-3900-03-0001/1

The following is a suggested recommendation only. Refer to Council Minutes for adopted resolution.

RECOMMENDATION:

PURSUANT to the report of the Manager, Business Services, dated November 13, 2018, entitled “Business Licence Bylaw, 2018, No. 8640, Amendment Bylaw, 2018, No. 8691 (Enactment Date) ”:

THAT Business Licence Bylaw, 2018, No. 8640, Amendment Bylaw, 2018, No. 8691 (Enactment Date) ” be considered.

ATTACHMENTS:

1. Business Licence Bylaw, 2018, No. 8640, Amendment Bylaw, 2018, No. 8691 (Enactment Date) (Doc. #izo8039)

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this report is to propose for Council ’s consideration, a revised enactment date for the new Business Licence Bylaw, 2018, No. 8640.

Document Number: 1707694 V1 REPORT: Business Licence Bylaw, 2018, No. 8640, Amendment Bylaw, 2018, No. 6691 (Enactment Date) Date: November 6, 2018

DISCUSSION:

On July 23, 2018 Council adopted Business Licence Bylaw, 2018, No. 8640 which replaced Business Licence Bylaw, 2004, No.7584. The new Bylaw included significant updates and improvements over the old Bylaw including:

• Simplification of fees in most business categories; • More rational fee structure overall; • Simplification of fee calculations and business categorization resulting in reduced processing time and potential for errors; • Lower fees for a number of business categories; • Lays the foundation for a business friendly on-line application process; and • Allows for better reporting on business data

The timing for the new Business Licence Bylaw was to coincide with the development and implementation of a new permits and licensing system (CityPal) which staff have been working on over the past year. Initially it was thought that a January 1, 2019 enactment date of the new bylaw would coincide well with the go-live date for CityPal, however, as we approach that date staff believe a later enactment date would work better. A later enactment date would allow staff to complete, test and launch the new permits and licensing system thus allowing a seamless transition for Business Licensing once CityPal goes live. All 2019 business licence renewals would be issued under the old Business Licence Bylaw and the existing permits and licensing system.

Staff are therefore recommending a revised enactment date of April 1, 2019.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

There are no financial implications resulting from a revised enactment date.

INTER-DEPARTMENTAL IMPLICATIONS:

The recommendation in this report was supported by the Civic Projects Team at their November 13, 2018 meeting.

CORPORATE PLAN AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

A later enactment date for the new Business Licence Bylaw will help to reduce potential problems resulting from processing and issuing new Business Licenses under a new permits and licensing system.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:

From: Jennifer Draper, Manager, Transportation Planning Natalie Corbo, Sustainable Transportation Coordinator SUBJECT: DEVELOPING A PILOT E-BIKE SHARE SYSTEM Date: November 14,2018 File No: 16-8330-05-0001/1

The following is a suggested recommendation only. Refer to Council Minutes for adopted resolution.

RECOMMENDATION:

PURSUANT to the report of the Manager, Transportation Planning and the Sustainable Transportation Coordinator, dated November 14, 2018 entitled

“Developing a Pilot E-bike Share System ”:

THAT staff be directed to develop an Expression of Interest for a third party owned and operated e-bike share system, under license agreement with the City of North Vancouver;

THAT staff develop a licensing framework and report back with required resources to support a pilot e-bike share system;

AND THAT staff collaborate with the District of North Vancouver and District of West Vancouver toward an integrated North Shore e-bike share system.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to seek Council direction to proceed with an Expression of Interest to pilot a North Shore e-bike share system under a third-party owned and operated model. The report provides information on the goals and considerations for such a system and summarizes staffs evaluation of the alternative, City-owned, model for bike share systems.

Document Number: 1716174 REPORT: Developing a Pilot E-Bike Share System Date: November 14, 2018

BACKGROUND

In 2016, Council directed staff to explore bike share and e-bike programs and incentives:

PURSUANT to the report of the Deputy City Engineer, dated May 25, 2016 entitled

“Urban Bike List Feasibility Findings ”:

THAT Mayor and Council write to the Province of British Columbia requesting that the PST exemption on electric bicycles be restored;

THAT staff report, as part of the 2017 budget process, the merits of an electric bicycle rebate program similar to the former toilet rebate program offered to City residents;

AND THAT Council direct staff to explore the opportunities for expanding the City of Vancouver ’s public bike share system into Lower Lonsdale.

Since 2016, the bike share industry has changed rapidly presenting new opportunities for North American cities. The City of North Vancouver has been approached by representatives from several bike share system operators that have expressed an interest in operating on the North Shore. These operators have presented the opportunity for a free-floating or “dockless ” bike share system owned and operated by a third party at no capital cost to the City. Staff have also met with representatives from the City of Vancouver ’s public bike share system.

In 2017, TransLink convened the RTAC New Mobility Working Group to discuss the emergence of dockless bike sharing and other new mobility options. In order to enable effective regional collaboration and promote cross-border interoperability, TransLink is collaborating with municipal partners to develop Interim Regional Guidelines for Personal Shared Mobility Services (anticipated in late 2018). These guidelines will restate existing regulations around bicycle safety standards and personal data security; outline recommended common standards for data sharing, pricing, operational standards, and equitable access; and add to the regional shared knowledge base regarding effective policies and best practices.

All companies that have approached the City have indicated a desire to provide pedal- assist electric bicycles, or e-bikes. A shared e-bike system represents a significant opportunity to increase the City ’s bicycle mode share by addressing barriers such as topography, ownership/financial capacity, storage, and even weather. Most promisingly, e-bike share is emerging as a viable alternative to the automobile in North American cities. Evidence from the social sciences and self-reported data from operators indicates that e- bikes trips replace single-occupant vehicle and ride-hailing trips.

Alongside the recent commitment for a new B-Line service on the North Shore, and growing advocacy for advanced planning, funding and delivery of transit, the deployment of an e-bike share system would help in delivering a more complete multi-modal network.

Page 2 of 8 REPORT: Developing a Pilot E-Bike Share System Date: November 14, 2018

DISCUSSION

Why e-bike share?

The rapid evolution of battery technology combined with injections of global capital into the shared mobility space, have led to economic and functional viability for e-bike share systems.

Some of the desired transportation outcomes of an e-bike share system are: • Increased cycling mode share; • Increased mobility for a wide range of residents, employees and visitors; • Decreased barriers to cycling; and • Decreased single-occupant vehicle use.

Additional benefits of bike share systems include: • Economic development • Enhanced tourist experience • Improved first and last mile connections to transit • Data to inform future infrastructure investments

Current e-bike share system trends

Since the time staff last reported to Council on bike share in 2016, the industry has changed rapidly. Third-party owned and operated systems requiring little to no capital funding from cities are now common throughout North America. These smart bike systems allow users to locate, rent, and lock bikes using a smartphone app. Systems tend to offer a flexible per-trip payment option which range from around $2 per 30 minutes, to a $1 unlocking fee plus 30 cents per minute for e-bikes. Conventional pedal bikes tend to be priced around $1 per 30-minute ride. Most operators have low-income discounts and cash-based payment programs established in the United States, and have indicated that they are working on equivalent programs for Canadians.

Dockless bike share has also proliferated as municipalities and operators have each developed new strategies to manage the public realm. Dockless bikes come equipped with GPS and are accessed using a smartphone app. Riders may leave the wheel-locked bikes anywhere within a given service area as long as they are complying with parking regulations. This differs from a fully station-based (docked) system, which requires users to return bikes to a docking station in order for the ride to be completed. Docking stations provide a limited number of fixed locations for users to end trips, whereas dockless systems allow users to start and end their trip at the actual origin and destination without looking for a nearby station.

The following table summarizes the key differences between these models.

Page 3 of 8 REPORT: Developing a Pilot E-Bike Share System Date: November 14, 2018 ______Dockless Station-Based (Docked) Parking • Immediately at final destination (per • At designated docking stations regulations developed by the City), or; • Locked to bicycle racks, or; • Designated bike parking zones (virtual havens). Space • Existing infrastructure • Space within the right-of-way for Requirements • In some cases, space within the docking stations right-of-way or on private property • Space negotiated on private for virtual havens property for docking stations Bike • Operator is responsible • Operator is responsible Redistribution • Can be supplemented by user incentives to return bikes to certain areas E-bike • Battery swap-outs performed by • Docking stations which must be Charging system operators, or; connected to the electrical grid • User-provided battery packs, or; • Depot-based charging by the operator.

A hybrid option is also possible utilizing GPS technology. In a hybrid scenario, users can be incentivized to return bikes to virtual havens, but may also leave bikes outside of a haven. Virtual havens are signed or painted zones where multiple bicycles may be parked, but which do not require physical docking infrastructure. An example photo from the University of British Columbia pilot program is provided below.

Page 4 of 8 REPORT: Developing a Pilot E-Bike Share System Date: November 14, 2018

Regardless of docked or dockless configurations, bike redistribution and maintenance service level standards must be negotiated. With advancements in GPS technology, third- party operators are now able to accurately locate and manage bikes that may be out of place. However, it is reasonable to expect that some bylaw enforcement resources will be needed in the long term to successfully uphold a well-managed dockless bike share system.

Regional Context for Pilots

Due to rapidly changing technology and new ownership models, cities across North America have used pilot programs to remain nimble while ensuring the best possible long ­ term outcomes. Pilots have allowed cities to retain the power to implement programs efficiently, easily adjust course as needed, and make data-driven decisions after observing actual usage.

There are four jurisdictions in Metro Vancouver currently piloting third-party owned and operated bike share systems: Richmond, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, and the University of British Columbia. All of these systems exclusively provide conventional pedal bicycles at this time, meaning that the North Shore municipalities would be the first in the region to pilot an e-bike share system.

OPTIONS

A) Seek a Third-Party Operator to Deliver a Bike Share System on a Trial Basis

Under this model, the bike share system would come at no capital cost to the City. A licensing framework with supportive service level standards would legally contract obligations, including compliance with City bylaws. Service level standards would cover parking management, bike maintenance, bicycle redistribution, fleet charging, rider education and safety, fleet size, data sharing, and other issues that may arise.

Working with a third-party owner/operator would allow the City the flexibility to adapt to the opportunities of a rapidly changing industry through a low-risk pilot program. A pilot program would provide the opportunity to respond to numerous variables, including: • Public feedback; • Advances in technology; • Data regarding usage patterns.

A pilot program would allow the City to learn how the bikes are used and how the public responds to the program. A pilot could also be cancelled or modified as needed. In the long term, the City could opt to pursue a City-owned system at the end of the pilot period if desired.

Lastly, a pilot program would not require significant infrastructure investments at the outset. As such, operators have indicated that they could implement the system on the ground within approximately three weeks of receiving a permit or license. Staff have

Page 5 of 8 REPORT: Developing a Pilot E-Bike Share System Date: November 14, 2018 estimated such a system could be implemented by late spring or early summer 2019, including consideration for planning time.

The City has been actively coordinating with the District of North Vancouver and the District of West Vancouver to develop a framework for a unified system that could be used across the North Shore. Both municipalities have expressed an intent to pursue a third- party owned and operated pilot with an anticipated launch timeframe of late spring or early summer.

For all of these reasons, staff are recommending to pilot a third-party owned and operated system. The recommendations in this report would advance this option. B) Develop a City-owned, Third-party Operated e-Bike Share System

An alternative model is for the City to have an e-bike share system that could integrate with the City of Vancouver ’s public bike share system. Under this arrangement, the City would purchase the bicycles, docking infrastructure and services related to station siting, bike re-distribution and maintenance. Sponsorship agreements can help reduce the financial burden to municipalities associated with investment and replacement of technology and bikes over time.

A fully integrated system with the City of Vancouver would allow residents and visitors to access the conventional bikes within Vancouver ’s service area using the same app and payment plan. It has yet to be resolved at this time if e-bikes could be left within Vancouver ’s service area since Vancouver has not deployed e-bikes. This would open the door to a fully integrated system across the region, which could particularly benefit people who commute across multiple municipalities. However, the Districts of West and North Vancouver have confirmed they do not want to pursue a City-owned and third-party operated system at this time, which limits the extent of potential regional integration.

Key considerations for the City of North Vancouver include: • Initial capital outlay (estimated at approximately $3M for 500 e-bikes in a dockless environment); • Lack of flexibility to quickly and easily expand fleet; • Lack of flexibility to take advantage of new and emerging technology; • More dedicated staff time required for an ownership model; • High level of experience and proven track record of the potential third-party operator; • Capability for regional integration; • Longer timeline for implementation.

In consideration of the reasons above, staff are not recommending a City-owned, third- party operated model.

Should Council wish to pursue this option, staff recommend:

THAT staff be directed to develop an Expression of Interest for a City-owned, third-party operated e-bike share system;

Page 6 of 8 REPORT: Developing a Pilot E-Bike Share System Date: November 14, 2018

THAT staff develop a project framework and report back on the resource requirements needed for an City-owned e-bike share system;

AND THAT staff report back on the potential for future coordination with the District of North Vancouver and the District of West Vancouver.

ADVISORY BODY INPUT

Staff plan to consult with the Integrated Transportation Committee and other relevant advisory bodies following Council direction on the procurement model for a pilot e-bike share system.

COMMUNITY CONSULTATION

Staff have been working in coordination with the District of North Vancouver and the District of West Vancouver to begin establishing a framework for the shared interests of the three municipalities. The City has also been involved in the TransLink RTAC New Mobility Working Group, which is consulting on development of Interim Regional Guidelines for Active Personal Shared Mobility Services. This work is being completed in coordination with the Regional Transportation Strategy update.

Consultation with residents and the business community will take place during the planning phase for the deployment of the e-bikeshare system.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

A third-party owned and operated pilot project would have no upfront capital cost to the City. Staff time is estimated at the equivalent of 0.5 full-time employees for initial start-up and pilot program monitoring and evaluation, through re-prioritization of existing staff resources. Future Bylaw staff support, as required, is expected to be cost-recovered through fees or securities collected from the operator. Depending on the specific approach taken to provide financial security for the City, bylaw changes may be required.

INTER-DEPARTMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

This report and recommendation has been prepared with input from Planning, Community Services (including Development Services, Business Services, and Bylaw Services), Engineering, Parks and Environment, and Finance.

Key interests of the various departments centered on staff time implications, demands on the public realm, potential impact of increased e-bikes on different types of cycling infrastructure, and bylaw changes that may be required. In terms of staff time, our intent is to have a contractual relationship with a third-party operator to ensure they have full responsibility for dealing with misplaced bikes. Tools such as securities and permit fees

Page 7 of 8 REPORT: Developing a Pilot E-Bike Share System Date: November 14, 2018 could be deployed to ensure that any future bylaw impacts would be mitigated. Staff would work with the Districts of North Vancouver and West Vancouver to ensure a unified approach to enforcement.

These departments will continue to be engaged as this process moves forward.

CORPORATE PLAN AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS

A reliable, convenient e-bike share system would reduce the barriers to cycling on the North Shore. Further, shared e-bikes can enable a broad range of people to replace single-occupant vehicle trips. This suggests a high potential for reduced community greenhouse gas emissions, in keeping with the goals of the 2010 Community and Energy Emissions Plan.

The proposed e-bikeshare pilot is in keeping with the goals and objectives of the 2014 Official Community Plan including:

• Goal 2.1: Prioritize walking, cycling, transit and goods movement over single ­ occupancy vehicles • Objective 2.1.1: Invest in cycling and pedestrian networks and facilities to make these more attractive, safer, and convenient transportation choices for all ages and abilities with an aim to increase these ways of travelling over single-occupant vehicle use. • Goal 2.3: Support a safe, accessible, resilient and affordable transportation system. • Objective 2.3.7: Encourage technological innovation to overcome physical barriers to transportation • Objective 2.3.8: Encourage transportation options that reduce fossil fuel use, such as walking, cycling, transit, carpooling and low-emission vehicles • Objective 2.3.10: Collaborate with neighbouring municipalities and other levels of government to improve the safety, security, accessibility and connectivity of the transportation system within the City and the North Shore.

The 2019 Elected Officials Seminar - LMLGA Region, is scheduled for January 15-17, 2019 in Richmond, BC.

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF NORTH VANCOUVER

COUNCIL EXPENSE POLICY

1. GENERAL GUIDELINES 1.1. This policy deals with expenses that are incidental to the discharge of a Council member’s office, or those expenses incurred by members of Council while participating in a municipal business event. 1.2. A municipal business event is described as any event where a Council member is the designated representative of the City of North Vancouver to attend a meeting or engage in other municipal business, or where prior approval has been granted by Council resolution to attend a convention, course, meeting or to participate in an activity relating to local government. 1.3. This policy also applies to expenses incurred outside the geographic area of the City of North Vancouver as a result of participation by a Council member on a committee or task force authorized by Council. 1.4. Members of Council will not be reimbursed for expenses incurred to attend events whose purpose is to raise money for charitable causes or political parties. Attendance at charitable events or monies contributed to fund raising causes, excluding political parties, must be considered as part of the City’s budget process for Grants to Other Agencies. 1.5. The total amount of eligible expenses reimbursed or allowances paid in any given period must not exceed the amount included in the approved financial plan of the City. 1.6. That all City supplied equipment (for example: Laptop, PC, Fax, printer) be returned to the City on the official’s last day as elected official of the City of North Vancouver not withstanding appointments to other agencies or boards. This equipment will then be disposed of in accordance to City policy. 2. EXPENSES COVERED UNDER THE ANNUAL INDEMNITY 2.1. The City pays an annual indemnity to Mayor and Council, according to the terms and amounts as outlined in the “ Council Indemnity Bylaw”, of which one-third (1/3) is paid as an allowance for expenses. 2.2. This one-third (1/3) allowance, is for incidental expenses incurred in the discharge of duty within the geographic area of the City of North Vancouver. Examples of incidental expenses include personal vehicle costs, mileage, parking, clothing, home office equipment and supplies, and entertainment costs, except as specified elsewhere in this policy. 2.3. The two-thirds (2/3) balance of the annual indemnity covers the time required for discharge of duties and any lost business opportunity costs.

The City will assist in configuring the Blackberry, iPhone etc. to the City standard configuration. A copy of the monthly invoice or contract covering the operating period is to be provided to the City Manager’s office when reimbursement is requested.

Since cellular phone costs are being paid to assist a Councillor to conduct City business, the phone number will be available to the public. 3.3. The City will provide the Mayor as the CEO with all required equipment and pay for all operating costs associated with use of that equipment for City business. 3.4. The City will provide a monthly Auto Allowance to the Mayor to cover use of a personal vehicle for City business, under the terms and conditions as outlined in the City of North Vancouver Vehicle Allowance Policy, No 603. 3.5. The City will cover reasonable costs of child care, when required, to enable a member of Council to attend a municipal business event for which no compensation is received from other sources. This provision does not apply to attendance at regular or special Council meetings, or meetings of Finance Committee, Policy Committee or Parks and Recreation Committee. In addition, child care expenses will not be paid to enable a Council member to attend seminars, training workshops, or conferences, or meetings of the Union of B.C. Municipalities, the Lower Mainland Municipal Association, or the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. 3.6. Approval - Prior approval by the City Manager is required in accordance with this Policy.

Council Expense Policy page 4 Updated: June 23, 2010 Schedule A to Council Expense Bylaw, 2003, No. 7487 Amendment Bylaw, 2010, No. 8096 (Blackberry, Apple iPhone and Cell Phone)

As stated in clause 2.3 herein, incidental expenses incurred while representing the municipality, or engaging in municipal business events within the geographic area of the City of North Vancouver are covered by the one-third expense allowance. 4.2. Exception - The exception is that for those events attended by a Council member as a municipal representative, actual costs of registration or entrance fees, and approved extraordinary expenses, will be paid by the City.

6. EXPENSES FOR MUNICIPAL BUSINESS EVENTS OUTSIDE THE GREATER VANCOUVER REGIONAL DISTRICT 6.1. Daily Allowance A daily allowance will be paid to the member of Council participating in a municipal business event occurring outside the Greater Vancouver Regional District, and requiring overnight accommodation, to cover expenses that may include, but are not limited to, food, gratuities, entertainment of guests, incidental living, and local transportation other than to and from an airport. The amount of the daily allowance will be established by Council resolution. (This amount is $75.00 per day, as established by Council resolution on July 25, 2005.)

The daily allowance will be paid for each day of the municipal business event, and for each day, up to a maximum of two days, needed to travel to and from the municipal business event.

In the event that the municipal business event occurs outside of Canada, the daily allowance will be paid in the equivalent of the current rate in U.S. funds. 6.2. Accommodation Expenses Accommodation expenses will be paid based upon the single room rate at the lowest rate available at time of booking. Every effort will be made to obtain accommodation at the location(s) suggested by the organizers of the municipal business event, subject to room availability.

Should a member of Council elect to stay at a private residence (with family or friends) an accommodation allowance of $75 per night will be paid. 6.3. Air Travel Expenses Air travel expenses will be based upon the lowest, direct or minimum stop-over, economy class airfare available at the time of booking, using the services of a B.C. travel agent. Consideration will be given to the reasonableness of flight schedules in comparison to costs. If the Council member(s) so desires, the City Manager’s Department will assist in making the travel arrangements.

If a cheaper airfare is available by traveling and staying over a Saturday night, then this airfare is to be purchased. To achieve this reduction, the City will pay the extra day’s daily allowance and hotel accommodation required, subject to a lesser total cost.

In the event that a member of Council wishes to take vacation time before or after the municipal business event, or needs to accommodate other personal requirements, the member should make his/her own travel arrangements. In that event, an invoice or receipt from a travel service provider must be submitted to the City Manager’s office which clearly enumerates the expenses relating to the municipal business event paid on behalf of the member of Council. This expense may not exceed the amount that would have been paid if booked through the City.

6.4. Cancellation Insurance Cancellation insurance coverage will be considered when bookings are being made, and is an eligible expense under this policy. 6.5. Medical Travel Insurance Medical travel insurance coverage will be considered when deemed necessary, and is an eligible expense under this policy. (It should be noted that the City’s Extended Health Benefits plan provides unlimited medical travel insurance for those Council members enrolled in the plan. Please check with the carrier, or the Human Resources Department to clarify coverage prior to traveling out of the country.) 6.6. Alternative Means of Travel If alternative transportation is deemed to be more practical, or is preferred by a member of Council attending a municipal business event, payment of same shall be based on lowest airfare or actual mileage at the current casual mileage rate.

Additional costs associated with air travel, such as airport improvement fees, surcharges as imposed from time to time, and estimated costs associated with airport parking or transportation to and from airports will be added to the lowest airfare figure to determine total cost to travel by air. At all times, the lesser amount will be paid. 6.7. Travel to and from Airports Reasonable expenses for travel to and from the airport at point of departure and destination will be reimbursed, with receipts. It is expected that the most cost effective means of transport will be utilized, such as airporter or shuttle bus. If more practical, parking charges at Vancouver airport will be reimbursed upon receipt. 6.8. Communication Expenses Expenses incurred while outside the GVRD for communicating by telephone or data line in order to conduct municipal business will be reimbursed upon receipt. 6.9. Supplementary Expenses Any expenses incurred that are not specifically covered in this Policy which the attendee considers to be legitimate costs to the City shall be presented, with receipts, to the City Manager for consideration. 6.10. Financial Control, Approval and Expense Claim Procedure • The City Manager’s Office will make all travel arrangements and prepare disbursement warrants for all travel advances required. • Receipts are required for all travel expenses for which reimbursement is requested, except for those expenses pre-paid through an expense cheque.

7. GENERAL PROCEDURES 7.1.

Prior to processing the disbursement warrant for payment the Finance department will ensure that: • all necessary approvals are attached, • receipts agree with amounts claimed, • arithmetic is correct and GST recorded correctly, • the claim includes reference to any outstanding advances, • the expense is coded correctly, • the claim is in accordance with policy.

7.3 All expense claims, invoices, etc. must be submitted as soon as possible, but not later than one week of the previous year's end.
