PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEII'IENT

The Town of Smithers has been working with Alpine Village Estates to re-establish the closed section of the Town's perimeter trail thãt was on Alpine Vituge Estates p.p"rty adjacent to Chicken Creek.

ln the spring of 2014, portíon this of the trail was closed to the public due to creek bank erosion undermining the trail. lt was determined that the Alpine Village Estates storm bank erosion and slippage. As a result the Town of SritÀ"r. discharged the permitted the Town's trail to cross the Alpine village Estates prope-lty and of the trail.

The Town has offered pay to the legal costs to re-establish the Right of Way and re-build the failed portion of the Town's perimeter trair at an estimated cost oí $+o,ooo for fencing, regar fees, engineering and construction. This would allow that section of the perimeter Trail to be re- opened to the public and to be maintained by the Town.

Unfortunately the Town of Smithers has been unable to come to an agreement with Alpine Village Estates on the offer to re-instate the closed portion of the trail. ThãTown acknowledges that this section of the Perimeter Trail is very imjortant public infrastructure and will seek to assess alternate options.

6.1 CONSULTANT UPDATE J.J_ Lazzarin,Lazza¡tn, JayJay LazzarinLazza¡in Landscape Architect, provided the Committee with an update on the fieldfietd redevelopment plans. J.J.LazzarinLazzarin stated that the current irrigated field will be left alone to provide at least one playing surface during the redesign of the Park.park. The current irrigate field is soil based and it would be bestbãst to continue with the soil based option for the remainder of the non-irrigated fields.

Minutes of the Chandler Park Field Upgrades Advisory Committee meeting held on Monday, MaY 1 1,2015 at noon.

6.1 CONSULTANT UPDATE continued The proposed program for upgrades of the existing non-irrigated fields include the following: 1. Apply herbicide to non-irrigated field to eliminate the weeds 2. Remove existing Lombardy trees adjacent to the Frontage Road and apply a copper sulfate herbicide to the stumps to eliminate the underground roots. 3. Remove gravel (top 12 inches) in existing running track 4. Rototill (6 inches deep) non-irrigated field 5. Level (rough grade) non-irrigated field 6. lnstall approved growing medium in running track and non- irrigated field. 7. lnstallation of irrigation systems 8. Final grading, seeding and fertilizing of playing fields 9. Aerating and top dressing of existing, irrigated field 10. Maintenance establishment (6 month growing season). The Committee was concerned about the use of herbicides. They asked if there are other alternatives instead of using herbicides; for example, a community work bee to pull the weeds out by hand? J.Lazza¡in responded that the field is full of weeds and that hand pulling will not eliminate all of the roots; he emphasized that the one- time application of the herbicide is key to getting a quality turf. He stated he did not realize our community had a policy against the use of herbicides.

Brown/ THAT the Consultant provide the Chandler Park Field Upgrades Advisory Committee with options for the treatment of the weeds located in Chandler Park, with the pros and cons of each option, and the budget implications to be considered; AND THAT the Consultant provide the Chandler Park Field Upgrades Advisory Committee with information on the use of copper sulfate to eliminate the Lombardy tree roots adjacent to the Frontage Road and to provide information on the consequences to the field if the tree roots were to remain in the ground. CARRIED.

The Committee expressed concern over the use of a rototill machine on that large of a field surface. J. Lazzarin replied that the rototill machine would be attached to a large tractor tiller and that the machine will penetrate down 6 inches and that the compacted area is only three inches deep.

6.1. CONSULTANT UPDATE continued The committee expressed concern over the drainage of the fields, J.Lazzarin replied that the existing field is level añd that once an option is selected the drainage will be addressed in the design stage. The committee expressed concern over the irrigation of the field. J.La,,arin replied that the entire area will be irrigated and that the existing irrigated field would have improvements made to it as well. The committee expressed concern over access to the one playing field while the other areas are being reconstructed. J. Lazzarin repl¡eð that a sod trail would be installed to encourage traffic flow and stated that snow fencing would be installed around the construction zones. J. Lazzarin continued with the presentation. He reviewed the soil sample reports for both the irrigated field and the non-irrigated field. The recommendatio-n for the irrigated field was as follows: a) soil meets a 2L low traffic lawn medium requirement, based on the BC Landscape society specifications; 2) to meet a high traffic lawn specification the sand would need to be g0-90%, finel maximum of !5.o/o and organics more than so/oi and c) apply fertilizer (2s-3-23) at 5 lbs/1,000 square feet every 8-10 weeks through to september. The recommendation for the non-irrigated fields was as follows: a) this field meets a 1Hl2H high traffic lawn requirements based on the BC Landscape society specifications. The condition of the supplier loam soil would be no benefit unless you want to increase the percentage of silt and clay;2) soil should be limed now and in the fall at 20 lbs/1:000 square feet; and_ c) maintain grass using fertilizer (23-3-23) at Slbs/1,000 square feet every 6-8 weeks through to september. J. Lazza¡tn provided the committee with three different layout concept plans to consider.

concept A includes four fields, one field (50x100) and three fields side by side with two field dimensions (4gx100) and one field (62x100). l_t was suggested that a chain rink fence be installed along Albedã street to prevent balls from entering the street. The clubiouse is located parallel to vancouver street at the corner of rhird Avenue. There is no space for a walking trair around the perimeter of the park. concept B includes three fierds, one field (50x100 and two fields (65x100). The clubhouse is rocated parallel ìo Third Avenue at the corner of Vancouver Street. L. Peltz left the conference call (1:32 p.m.).

REPORTSICORRESPONDENCE- A ITEMS

6.1 1912 PRINCESS STREET Report DEV 15-42 dated May 12, 2015, from L. Dragoska, Planner, regarding the Development Variance Permit Application DV15-06 for 1912 Princess Street to vary Section 4.1.2 of Zoning Bylaw No. 1403 by reducing the exterior side yard setback for a proposed garage from 3.5 metres (11’6") to 1.2 metres (3'11”), was presented (3030- 20/DV15—06).

Notes of the Advisory Planning Commission meeting held on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 at noon.

The subject property is designated as Single Family Residential in the Official Community Plan and is zoned R-1 Single Family Residential in the Zoning Bylaw No. 1403. The R-1 Zone permits attached garages and maximum parcel coverage of 40% for all buildings and structures. The existing home and proposed garage do not exceed this parcel coverage and meet all other regulations in the Single Family ResidentialZone aside from the exterior side yard setback. The existing carport is currently non-conforming as it encroaches on the exterior side yard setback along Sixteenth Ave. The existing carport and proposed garage is set back approximately 21 metres from the front property line along Princess Street and the proposed 1.2 metre setback will not adversely affect sightlines when traffic is approaching the intersection. Staff has no objection to recommending approval of this minor variance request given the lot configuration and sight lines of this intersection. The members of the Commission asked if the variance on the setback was approved, if there would be space available for a development of a sidewalk in the boulevard. Staff replied that there is ample room for a sidewalk as well as underground utilities in the boulevard if development was warranted in the future.

Gormier/ THAT the members of Advisory Planning Gommission recommends that Gouncil approve Development Variance Permit Application DV15-06 for 1912 P¡incess Street to vary Section 4.1.2 Zoning Bylaw No. 1403 by reducing the exterior side yard setback for a proposed garage from 3.5 metres (l l'6") to 1'2 metres (3'11")' GARRTED.

The Sixteenth Ave side of the property has a 4.7m wide boulevard with an overhead underground power line. The ProPosed garage will not adverselY affect any future infrastructure development within the boulevard, nor will it be affected by the overhead power lines. Being a corner lot, safe stoPPing sight lines for traffic are imPortant considerations when looking at building setbacks off a street' The existing carport and proposed garage is setback approxi mately 21m from the front ProPertY line along Princess Street and will not adversely affect sightlines when traffic is approaching the corner intersection.

Staff has no objection to recommending approval of this minor variance request given the lot configuration and sight lines of this intersection.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

DATE: May 1 5,2015 REPORT: AIR 15-08 FROM: Rob Blackburn, Airport Manager FILE: 8400-03 SUBJECT: Airport Garbage Bin Replacements

RECOMMENDATION:

THAT Council authorizes the purchase of six new garbage and recycle receptacles at the Smithers Regionat Airport for the quoted price of $15,040 plus taxes; AND THAT Council approve the use of a single source supplier, Wishbone Site Furnishings, a distributer of Haul All, who is the only known supplier of animal proof containers.

PURPOSE OR BACKGROUND:

Currently, the airside garbage receptacles at the Airport are repurposed 45 gallon drums with homemade lids. The drums are rusting, unsightly and difficult to empty' The current groundside garbage bins in the parking lot and in front of the terminal building are decorative concrete barrels. These barrels are often accessed by ravens and otñer critters which spread garbage throughout the property. All garbage bins at the Airport must be animal resistant to prevent loose debris on the airside which is hazardous to aircraft. There are no recycle containers outside the terminal building and the only Town recycling receptacles inside the building are located in the secure holdroom.

DISCUSSION:

Airport Staff have worked with local and provincial suppliers for a few months trying to source adequate animal proof garbage receptacles. Although there are suppliers that supply units similar in appearance, none have been found that can keep animals out

and be unloaded from the front or rear. Unloading from the front or rear prevents the lifting of heavy wet bags that often rip while being removed.

The proposed airside units are single bear proof bins that can be unloaded from the rear. These receptacles have the option to place advertising on the sides of the garbage bín which could, once marketed, become revenue for the Airport.

The proposed groundside receptacles will be triple bay units. Each of the four stations (two in front of the terminal building and two in the parking lot) will have a bay for waste, a bay for cans and bottles, and an extra bay which can be used for trash or recyclables. lf in the future, the current recycle program expands to include the Airport, the extra bay could easily be converted to accept items allowed within the program. Advertising spaces can be made available on the triple station in the future.

The decorative concrete barrels will be reused by the Works and Operations Department to replace damaged units around Town.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS :

Purchasing Policy Finance - 006 Purchasing, is requested to be waived.

RESOURCE IMPLIGATIONS :

The purchase price of the new receptacles will be covered underthe approved 2015 Airport Capital Budget. Some of the remaining $19,000 capital budgetwill be used to replace receptacles inside the terminal.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

DATE: May 12,2015 REPORT: ADl,ll15-22 FROM: Deborah Sargent FILE: 0360-01 Chief Administrative Officer

SUBJECT: Council 2014'2019 Remuneration Review

RECOMMENDATION:

THAT Council appoints four individuals to a Council Committee to review remuneration for the Mayor and Council for 2015-2019 inclusive.

BAGKGROUND:

ln octobe r of 2011, Council ratified the appointment of four individuals (Teb Bob, Chair, Kelly Ehalt, David Stene, and Dean Macdonald) to a Council committee to review stipánds foi tre Mayor and council for 2012 lo 2014. The committee reported back. to Council on November 4,2011, with nine key recommendations. See full report attached.

The Council decisions in November of 2011 were:

1. to maintain the existing remuneration rates for Mayor and Council and to increase these each year according to the September Core Consumer Price index;

2. To continue with the existing per diem rate of $125.00/day;

3. To defer the establishment of an annual travel cap for all Council travel to budget deliberations.

DISGUSSION:

Mayor's stipends compared with 30 other communities of similar size, it was found to be below average and recommended to be increased by 17.39%. and Council members stipends to be increased by 13.83%. Neither of these recommendations was adopted by Council.

Since the 2011 review, there has been a trend in local government for Mayor's and members of Council's stipends to reflect the level of time and effort required to attend to Council business and maintain active relationships with their constituents and be actively involved in their communities.

The four person committee in 2011 undertook a comprehensive re,,riew of all facets of Mayor and Council remuneration and provided their report back to Council within a 2- month time period. The externally appointed committee was an excellent way for Council to consider its stipends in a transparent and objective way, utilizing the expertise of the local business community.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS :

Policy COU-004 Council Remuneration is the current policy that establishes the rates of remuneration for the Mayor, Acting Mayor and Council members.

Policy FIN-008 Travel Expense-Mayor and Council is the policy that determines the rates of reimbursement for Council travel.

RESOURCE IMPLIGATIONS:

The current 2015-2019 Financial Plan is based on the current rates of remuneration for Mayor and Council. lf Council were to adopt any changes as recommended by the Council remuneration committee, these changes could be incorporated into the 2016 Annual Budget.

Background:

At the meeting of October ll,20ll Council passed the following motion "THAT Council ratifies the appoinhent of the following four individuals to a Councit Committee to review stipends for the Mayor and Council for 2012 to 2074, inclusive: - - - as recommended in Report ADM Il-072 dated Octob er tI,ZOtt from D. Sargent, Chief Administrative Offi.cer (0360-01)." The persons appointed to the council Remuneration Review cornmittee were:

Kelly Ehalt, Co-owner Hetherington & Hooper Stores Dean MacDonald, General Maaager, Pacific .West Inland Resources, a division of Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. Dave Stene, Chief Executive Officer, Bulkley Valþ Credit Union . Tedd Bobb (Chair), Retired Accountant

Ms. Deborah Sargent, ChiefAdminisfadve OfEcer of the Town of Smi+.hers, was assigned to the Committee to perfonn administrative duties and to assíst with providing resogrce and iesearch materials.

The Committee verbally agreed amongst themselves and with Ms. Sargent that, all commr¡nications would be via email and all required information would be circulated before mãetings.

The Committee met on October l9,2}ll initially with Ms. Sargent to review the provided information, obtain verbally background about Remunerafion, Per Diem rates and Mileage rates.

The Committee determined that the term "stþends" shoutd include direct remuneration paid to membe¡ of Council, per Ðiem allowances, mileage reimbursed and travel experses paid to a third prrty fo. ot oo behalf of aMembers of Cor:ncil.

At the next meeting on October 26,2017 the Committee reviewed additional information and received additional verbal explanations from Ms. Sargent. The Committee requested that Mayor Cress Fa¡row make a separate presentation outlining the time commitments and duties of a mayor. Also Deputy Mayor and Councillor JoAnn Groves was requested to attend to provide insight into the time involvement and duties of a counciilor. The Committee members asked anumber of questions of the Mayor and Councillor during their individual presentations. The Committee, with n9 other persons present, considered all the research, information, verbal input, presentations and statistical analysis to postulate the aforesaid recommendations.

Committee Recommendations and Rationale:

Once the Committee defined the terrns of reference to be; to made recommendations to the Mayor and Council on only three facets of their overall remuneration, which are direct remuneration, per óiem trar¡el rates and mileage allowance for use ofpersonal vehicle for the yeas 2012 to 2014 inclusive as well as to 'We comment on the travel budget. began a process of data review and analysis. The question and ¿rnswer sessions with the current Mayor and Councillor greatþ assisted in our better understanding the roll, duties and time commiünents ofthe positions.

Recommendation:

That the 2012 Mayor's remunerstion be set at 522,000.00;

Rccommendatio. [:

That the 2012 Deputy Mayor's remuneration be set qt 811,000.00;

Ratioqale;

For the last 14 years in Smithers, the ratio of the Deputy Mayor's has been one-half the remureration of the Mayor and the Committee sees no reason this ratio should be changed based on the available information.

Recommçndation:

That the 2012 Councillors' remuneration be set at t10,000.00.

This recommendation was based on the rationale that the Mayor's remuneration should. be2.2times that of a Councillor- The Committee undertook the same statistical analysis of information available from 22 peer municipalities in British columbia, which discrosed the following: Councillor Population

Highest $15,793 $3.91lperson Smithers $8,785 $1.ó8/person Lowest $7,500 $1.04/person Median $11,695 $1.99lperson Average gtr,7g2 $2,1O/person

The Committee next looked at the history of the Councillors of Smithers' remuneration for the past 10 ¡'ears which disclosed anaverage y"* ot", year increas e of 1.60%and for the past 16 years an average year over year increase of 4. 1996 Q0.43Yo), 1998 (1r.67 the additional large increase Mayor's remuneration and that of a Councillor.

For the same reasons as for the recommendation on the Mayor's increase, we concluded that a l3.g3yo increase fot2}72 is warranted. The recommended Councillors' remuneration for 2}I2hasSmithers slightly below the average an<1 the meclian ín remuneration and slightly below the median and the average perperson at $1.92.

Recommendation:

Thatþr 2012 - 2014 the Mayor and Councillors should only be reimbursedfor actual receipted expenses while out of town' If octual receiptedreimbursement, is not practical or cosi efective, an oit o¡toin pq Diem rate of $100.00for overþur (4) hours qnd 850.00foifour (4) hours or-i"rr, be implemented;

REPORT TO COUNCIL

DATE: May 1 5, 2015 REpORT: DEV1S43

FROM: Mark Allen, Director of Development services FILE: s3go-20t2015-03

SUBJECT: First Avenue Storm Sewer - Contract Award

RECOMMENDATION: IHAT Council approves amending the 2015 Capital Plan by increasing the Storm Sewer lmprovement Program budget by $22,000 to $82,000, with funds to come from the Utility Operating Surplus; AND THAT Council awards the First Avenue Storm Sewer Contract #2015-03 to Canyon Contracting Company from Smithers, in the amount of $7g,512.17 excluding GST.

BACKGROUND:

As identified during Capital budget meetings, the 3900 Block of First Avenue, between Queen and Columbia streets, is in need of major road reconstruction. There is inadequate storm sewer, sections of curb and gutter have failed, and the asphalt is in poor condition. This road section was identified in the 2004 Paved Road Maintenance plan as one of the worst road sectionä in Town. Over the past 10 years, higher traffic volume streets were repaved; however, this road section is scheduled for the necessary reconstruction in this year's Road Capital Upgrade Program. The underlying road drainage issues need to be addressed prior to repaving in órder to protect the pl-anned roadworks investment.

To include the most local contractors, the storm sewer improvements were tendered Ylg"ll.t_"p1t"19 contract from the paving. The invitation to tender was issued on April 10'n, 2015. At the tender opening on May 14th,2015, only one tender was received:

DISGUSSION:

is funded from the Storm Sewer Capital lmprovements Program budget, annually l9r any unidentified projects, or for emergencies. This projec-t is use two (2) years of the budget to extend the First Avenue storm êewer Block. During the review.of the existing storm drainage for this street section, Development Services identified drainage problems at the cãtch basins near Columbia Street and sections of heaved, broken and rotated curbs. Half-way up the street, a low point developed over time which traps storm water and compounds the asphalt probiems during freeze-thaw conditions. To address this, the storm sewer main must be extended at least 53 metres and a new manhole and two new catch basins installed. These items were included in the contract and will be corrected. It would be good engineering practice for the Town to install the services from the new main to property lines at this time, prior to paving. Any new development in the future would be required to connect to the storm sewer, and would result in patching the new asphalt. The cost to service all 11 homes adjacent to the proposed siorm sewer main would be $16,599.67 at this time. This was á Provisional item in the contract, not part of the base tendered price. ln March, letters were sent to homeowners advising them of the opportunity to connect to the municipal storm sewer system for either theãctual contraci þrice or the flat rate charge of $2,500 (as. per Bylaw 1642), whichever was less. The teñdered price for this Provisional ltem ¡s $1,553.93 per service. Only one homeowner of a possible 1l expressed interest in connecting to the proposed storm sewer. Staff recommend that Council increases budget proceed -the and with installing the service connections in this contract. Staff will senã another letter to the homeoviners stating that they can either pay the reduced amount by December 31st, 2015, or pay the bylaw flat rate amount when they do decide to connect, or are required to connect during a redevelopment project (requiring a Building permit). The storm sewer improvements are planned to be installed prior to the Road capital !|qaOe prograrn. The specífied Substantial Completion date is on or before Jrly 6"; 2015.

RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS :

There are adequate funds in the Utility Operating Surplus, as the lowest balance in the current projections to the end of 2O1g is $946,627, Revenue will either be realized through homeowners paying the reduced $t,553.93 connection charge in 2015, or paying the flat rate (currenfly 92,500) in the future during redevelopmeni. Development Services staff will administer the contract and construction management as part of their regular duties.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS :

The tender process and the recommended award are in accordance with the Town,s Purchasing Policy FIN-000.

FIRST AVE. STORM SEWER Page 70 of 172 Agenda Item # 7.1.4

3t '3 Regular Council Page 3 Reporfi DEVí543

The $22,000 transfer from the Utility Operating Surplus would comply with the Town's Operating Surplus and Capital Reserve Policy FIN-010 which states the Utility Operating Surplus balance is not to go below $800,000.

GOMMUNIGATIONS: The tender was advertised on BC Bid, the Town's website, and 2 editions of the lnterior News.

ALTERNATIVES: 1. Award the First Avenue Storm Sewer contract, but not including the storm sewer connections. The contract price would then be $62,912.50 and staff would recommend a $5,000 budget increase to $65,000 to include a contingency. 2. Cancel the tender and postpone the storm sewer and roadworks to a future year. 3. Pursue a Local Area Service for the new storm sewer main and storm drainage improvements at 1O0o/o the owners' costs (as per the Local Area Service Charges Policy DEV-003). Due to the timing involved with the petition and borrowing processes, this would postpone the project to 2016. Based on the g% positive reply to the first letter, staff anticipate the petition would fail and the Town will end up fronting the project costs, as proposed this year.

RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council waives Noise Control Bylaw 1294 on July 1,2015 due to the fireworks being planned for the evening as part of Canada Day festivities.

BACKGROUND: ln March of 2014, Council approved $5000 towards the preparation and implementation of fireworks for July 1,2015 as part of Canada Day festivities. Section 2 of Noise Control Bylaw 1294 states; a. No person shall make or cause, or permit to be made or caused, any noise in or on a public or private place which disturbs the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort, or convenience of any person or persons in the neighbourhood or vicinity. c. No person shall play or operate any radio, stereo-phonic equipment or other instrument or any apparatus for the production or amplification of sound either in or on private premises or in any public place in such a manner aS to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of the neighbourhood or of persons in the vicinity.

DISGUSSION: The planned fireworks will need to be scheduled for after 1Opm on July 1,2015 in order for the public to enjoy the event. Sunset is expected to be after 1Opm. Therefore, the fireworks will be launched between 10:30pm and 11 :30pm. This will create a large amount of noise after the time allowed in the Noise Bylaw.

Events will be taking place at Bovill Square on July 1, 2015 starting near noon and finishing with the fireworks. There will be large crowds, much mus¡c and many activities taking place up until 10:30pm. Considering that many of the residents of Smithers will be attending the Canada Day festivÍties and waiting for the fireworks, the impact of waiving the bylaw will be minimal to the residents.

Vision Statement

Our aim is to be able to share our home wÍth the locals and travelers alike. To shine a light on Smithers: our local foodies, our avid love for organic, seasonal ingredients, some of the best biking trails in the world, a small town with everything you could possibly need. The food we will provide will be healthy, tasty and quick. Pre-made sandwiches, salads, and baked goods will offer our customers many healthy options while traveling.

we want all our patrons who ask questions to feel helped. where's the best bike trails? where do we stay? How can I rent a car? What restaurant do you recommend? What airline goes atthis time? Where do I pay for parking?

we hope to meet the needs of all the customers so we can make this a lasting an agreeme t, making this café apart of our local airport for many years to come!

We also wish to offer a detailed, easy to access guide for those short hrs we are not open. If an airport patron has a question, they will most likely find it in there. If they cant, we'll add itl

In hopes she would

offer her lovely cinnamon buns, cookies, samosas and maybe even her chili's. This would keep inventory costs lower & showcase another excellent local business. o We have also been in contact with feremy who is opening Commodity f uicery to offer a morning glory juice at the airport. Nothing is set in stone, as of ye! but this is something we are very eager to dive into. . (To be determined)

1D)

Our intention to serve customers while closed, will be offering a guide to compliment the brochures that are already offered. A binder of tabbed information about our town and services. Example: hotels: sunshine inn, their number and avg rates.

we would also like to stock that provided vending machine with tasty, fmostlyJ healthy options, there is something to be said about the odd peanut butter cup! [which we hope to stock/ustin's brand)l

we would like to maintain the same system as Bugwood for parking. using the slof and parking passes readily available.

LE) Dash Ate's intention is to offer healthy, local, seasonal & organic ingredients. A few considerations come into play when going r00o/o organicl-) cost of ingredients 2) costto customer.

I /tt

Being a frequent customer at this airporÇ I see the need for a few more affordable items on the menu. we 1000/o stand behind organic and locally grown ingredÍents, however there are times where it isn't affordable. Often those times come when I'm traveling with my whole family [5 people) or wanting a quick cup of coffee tárip) or I neeá r qui.Ëpi.t me up of sugar (cookie) mid shift. That being said, we wish to adopt the use of the "Dirty dozen" system for all of our produce. We will not offer 1,00o/o organic ingredients on all items. we intend on using the seasons to determine our daily specials and muffins.

The beauty and time spent in making the products that Bugwood bean offers, is one of a kind, and not to be dismissed, but there is something to be said for a child sized $1 muffin or a cup of $1.S0 drip coffee. we hope to be able to accommodate all patrons. If our customers prefer to have t00o/o organic items, we can then make those adjustments in the future.

2a) our intention is to enter into a 5 year lease agreement with the Town of Smithers. we would like to urilize the storage room in the basement area as well.

ZbJ Option L) Sunday-Friday 7am-630pm $SgS0.00

Option 2) Sunday-Saturday Tam-Bpm SZ?+O.OO

2c)we wish to enter into a s year contract as well as paying property taxes on the space yearly.

2d) Refer to 2A 2e) At this time we would like to opr out of paying concessions or profit sharing. It's unknown to us, what type of profit we will make. With that being said, this is something we would like to reevaluate and discuss in a year. If we show a profit that is sustaining we would be more then willing to come to an agreement. 2f)We hope that the service we are going to offer will improve the airport patrons experience. Moving forward we would be willing to have further discussions regarding this. 2g) Yes, we will require 1 staff parking stall at this time, if the need for another stall comes abou! we wish to re visit this.

1 stall x 106 peryear = $106

3aJ we have been quoted to carry the general liability insurance in the total amount of $5,000,000 with western Financial

3b) We do not yet hold a health permit to operate a restaurant. However I have been in contact with Kira Jang from Northern Health. she has given us all the requirements and sent us all the forms to be completed. Her and I have been ernailing back and forth to ensure things get moving once we have the lease agreement.

3c) I have signed up, but we have not yet received the clearance letter in the mail.

3d) No, we have not yet received a business license, as soon as we are chosen to take over this lease, we will be prompt in getting ir. 4)

4a)we are more than willing and excited to participate in meetings twice yearly.

4b) our in-terminal advertising with be our sign above our lease space. The need to change this may arise, we hope to discuss and address this then.

4c) we will Ieave the space as is now. we will add a menu area, where the current one is now sitting, as well as a sign. $500 est,

el

Forthe additional sum of moneywe are offering double the hours that the current proponents are p.orriding.

Based off of shilo's local airport knowledge, the reason we have chosen to use Saturday as our "day off is simply that Aircanada only runs L out of their 3 flights that day fam flight onlyJ, Flawkair also only departs in the morning un¿ comes in dropping passengers at night. does not come in or out that day as well. Therefore there is far less need for parking, & even coffee.

sunday however ALL flights resume. we feel there is also a void to fill in Smithers, which on sundays there is very little

open. If we are to be open for the passengers as well as outside customers, it could possibly bring more business to the café. (le: the new subdivision at Lake Kathlyn.)

Some people will drive out of their way for a good Sunday cuppa! *we wish to follow Bugwood beans lead and oÍfer a carafe of coffee & tea for those passengers in need on Saturdays, that along with the guide we suggested should be sufficient for our patrons for few hours we are closed.

Regarding the closing time of 630pm, since shilo does work casually at , She she's a trend with passengers, its very uncommon to find we have anyone looking for anything but their family, friends home & pillows!

Option2 schedule

Reflects us being open 7 days a weeþ for all flights departing & arriving.

In closing Chris and I offer many talents and years of experience working with people, Chris' background is coaching & running a 3Operson unit crew. shilo has been working with people since starting her work career. Having worked as an executive administrator, server & running her olyn, _Wgd_dtng lann b ess, gives our team the knowledge and experience to be the best ambassadors for the smithers Airport!

REPORT / RECOMMENDATION TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL

DATE: May 10,2015 FILE: 1610-01

BY: Leslie Ford, Director of Finance REPORT: FIN-15-19

SUBJECT: Climate Action- Public RePoft Íor 2014

RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council receives the following for information

DISCUSSION: Under the terms of the Climate Action Charter the Town is required to report on its annual corporate greenhouse gas emissions. The Town has prepared its Climate Action Report has Íor'201,4 añd has submitted it to the Province by the March 2015 deadline. This report been placed on the Town's website, in accordance with Provincial Climate Action requirements so that it was made available to the public. The Town also applied for its 2015 CARIP grant based on2014 volumes of carbon tax paid.

The Town uses the provincial SMARTTooI program in which to input data, summarize and calculate its annual GHG emissions . ln 2012 the Town produced a net amount of 566 tonnes of corporate greenhouse gas emissions. ln 2013 the Town produced 463 tonnes of corporate greenhouse gas emissions. ln 2014 the Town produced 482 tonnes of greãnhouse gas émissions. This represented a 4o/o increase in greenhouse gas "orpoåt"emissionsãver 2o1g iú M% lower than 2012. The new arena was one reason for the increase and weather from January - March 2014 was anothef reason.

ln2014: SO.g% of the emissions came from the fleet and 40.2% came from facilities.

As for the departmental areas: 41o/o of the emissions came from roads and streets (transportationj, 26.20/o came from recreation and culture, 12.5o/o from solid waste òolleci¡ons, g.á% from protective services, 5.5% from water, sewer, storm services and 5.5o/o from administrative services.

The tonnes produced in 2014 remained less than 2012, due to the energy efficient upgrades the Town has done within its facilities over the past few years: (i.e- installing more energy efficient furnaces, replacing single pane windows, improving roofs, purchasing more energy efficient vehicles, monitoring heat consumption etc).

REPORT TO COUNCIL

DATE: May 21,2015 REPORT: PR 15-04 FROM: Andrew Hillaby FILE: 0360-20 Director of Recreation, Parks and Culture

SUBJEGT: Recreation Fees and Gharges 2015-2016 Bylaw 1771 update

RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council receive Report PR 15-04 for information

BACKGROUND: At the May 12, 2015 Council meeting, Bylaw 1771 (Recreation Fees and Charges Bylaw for 2015-2016) was introduced. Several questions were raised by Council about the rates in the existing Bylaw 1745 that would be impacted by adoption of the new bylaw. ln March of 2104, staff brought forward report FIN-14-15 that proposed many changes to the Recreation Fees and Charges Bylaw 1703. The fees for arena usage were adjusted to include the 10% increase, as approved by Council, beginning September 2014. The Recreation Fees and Charges Bylaw 1745 was adopted by Council on June 10,2014.

DISCUSSION: Arena Summer lce was recommended to be reduced to be similar to the "arena with ice" fees starting in the August 2015, due to the fact that the Town would be using only one ice plant in the new arena. The operating costs for summer ice were anticipated to be less than operating two ice plants with the old arena. The old arena has utilized two ice plants to offer summer ice in August for many years. Also, Arena Summer lce was recommended to be reduced to attempt to generate more August rentals. The main regular summer ice rental user is the Northern Hockey School. They operate their camp during the second week of August every year. They are unable to move the timing of their camp. This leaves the arena operating empty for 2-3 weeks before the all of the regular arena user groups begin their seasons.

)/2- Regular Council ,ltJlr. Page 2 Flenorf' .PFl rr ¡Y vT

The fees to rent lgom! at Ranger Park were increased to reflect the rising operating costs for the facility. The Town's room rental rates are comparable to similar local facilities such as churches and schools. Bylaw 1771 recommends offering a discounted fee for early morning ice times (5:30- 8:30am Monday to Friday). Staff suggested the discounted fee in order to attract new users to the early morning time slot to generate a new minor hockey has used these times between Tuesday has dropped these times and have picked up the hours due to more ice time being available at the new arena. There is a regular adutt group renting ice time between 6-7am on Mondays and WednesdayJ. They aré established early morning group that is expected to remain in placeïor the 201 5-2016"h season.

RESOURCE CONSIDERATIONS:

The decreasing of the summer groups in August. The Northern August. Over the last five years, in late August but the rental fees have been prohibitive. Staff expect the lower rental fee will generate usage and corresponding revenue during thè last two weeks of August when the ice plant is operating.

Without a discount of some sort for early morning weekday ice time, staff expect the spaces to remain vacant and not attract new user groups. ôffering a discount for one season may be just the right incentive for a new arena user group to start up. Staff expect that lf some existing groups drop some prime time duing ine weekdáys, the prime time spots that become available will be quickly rented. Co-rrespondingly, there will be an increase in revenue generated when both time slots are rentä¿. ALTERNATIVES:

lnstead of offering the recommended morning discounted fee for the entire week (Monday to Friday), offer the discount to OJ for Tuesday to ThuÀday only. The existing Monday/Friday adult group does not need be included in the recommended fee discount. The recommended fee discount is suggested to target the Tuesday to Thursday early morning time slot that is expected-not to be hig-hly utilized without some sort of enticement.

BYLAW 1771 Page 129 of 172 Agenda Item # 8.1

,lt Regular Council Page 2 Report: FIN l5-18

DISCUSSION:

Attached is a new Bylaw 1771 with new 2015t2016 ice season fees as well as continuing 2015 other fees plus new fees for 2016 for other recreation facility/service areas.

2015 Fees from the most recent Recreation Fees and Charges bylaw 1745 have been transferred over to this bylaw. The 2015 Fees, i.e. for field users, campgrounds, were all increased when Bylaw 1745 was adopted last year. They have been included in this bylaw since some or parts of these particular recreation services/activities are ongoing now.

The proposed changes to the newly presented bylaw include: . lncreasíng the 2015116 íce season user fees by 10% . Adding a new lce user fee for the early hours (5:30 am to 8:30 am) at the youth rate (for all users) to encourage use of this low used time period . lncreasing the non ice arena fees by 10o/ofor 2016 . Only increasíng the Shinny Hockey fee from $7 to $g per participant, but not changing the other public skating fees . lncreasing the field rental rates by 2% for 2016 (except the damage deposits) . lncreasing the campground fees by $t per fee. These fees have been increased by $t per year over the past several years. . lncreasing the RV storage fees by 2% over the 2014115 storage rates (they have not been increased for several years) . lncrease the fall fair buílding rental fees by 2yo . lncreasing the Ranger Parkl Preschool fees by 2%

(Note: whenever possible the fees have been rounded to either the nearest dollar or nearest 10 cents)

RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS: Arena lce User Fees lncreasing Arena lce User fees by 1Oo/o for the 201 5t2016 ice season should generate approximately $36,000 more in arena revenue tn 2016.

The new fee for the early morning Monday to Friday time period should generate additional revenue for the arena.

Arena without lce Fees Increasing these fees by 10% should generate approximately $650 more in revenue for the Town ín 2016

The increase in the shinny hockey fee should generate approximately $700 more tn revenue

BYLAW 1771 Page 130 of 172 Agenda Item # 8.1

v7 Regular Gouncil Page 3 Report: F¡N 15-18

Field Rental Rates lncreasing the field rental fees by 2% should generate an additional $260 more in revenue in 2016 for the Town

Riverside Campground lncreasing the fees by either $1 or $2 should generate an additional $2,000 in revenue. the Town's camping fees remain competitive compared to other local RV areas (in fact the Town's fees are on the high side compared to surrounding private RV sites).

RV Storage lnclreasing the RV Storage fees by 2% should generate an additional $152 in revenue for the Town in 201512016

Fall Fair Buildings The Town does not generate any revenue from the fairgrounds (only the above noted RV Storage) so changing these fees will not generate any additional revenue.

Ranger Park - Preschool lncreasing the Ranger Park Preschool fees in 2016 should generate approximately $1,000 more in revenue

In total, when taking into account the entire above noted fee changes the Town could add an additional $40,762 revenue into its 2016 operating budget. This represents 1.15% of reduced taxation requirements in 2016.

POLICY/LEG ISLATION CONSI DERATIONS :

The Town is permitted to impose fees and charges under Section 194 the Community Chafter. Section 194 states that fees may be established by bylaw to cover all or part of a municipal service. Municipalities are required to make available, upon public request, as to how a fee is determined under this section.

ALTERNATIVES:

Council can approve changes to any of the proposed rates within the submitted bylaw up to second reading.

One thing that is not in this bylaw is a fine for use of alcohol consumption in, on or around Tãwn facilities. There is a fine for smoking. The Town does have policies, such as HR-008- Drug and Alcohol Policy, that states "Alcohol is not to be consumed or brought into Town premíses or property except for approved functions".

BYLAW 1771 Page 131 of 172 Agenda Item # 8.1

4t 7 Regular Council Page 4 Report FIN 15-18

Many local governments are restricting use of alcohol, except for approved special events, withín places líke arenas etc, due to the potential liability assocíated with allowing unrestricted drinking within public facilities. COMMUNICATION:

The new Recreation Fees and Charges Bylaw will be placed on the Town's Website.

The Director of Parks, Recreation and Culture will be meeting wíth the Arena User Groups on May 27th, 2015 and will be giving them a copy of the new fees and charges for the 201512016 ice season.

Dear Mayor and Council,CouncÍ1,

The purpose of this letter is to request that Council consider allowing backyard chickens in residential areas within the Town's limits. We understand a proposal of this nature was brought fon/vardforward to the previous Council, but did not result in any change. We believe the current Councilcouncil is willing to open up this discussion again.

We are a familyfamÍly of four who've recently moved to Smithers, in part because we feel the municipality is a progressive one that aligns with our values towards sustainability, self- sufficiency and community development that keeps pace with societal change. We were quite surprised to hear that Smithers does not currently allow backyard chickens, despite the Town's assertion in the Official Community Plan that it supports efforts to increase the amount of food grown, processed and consumed locally. Raising a small number of backyard hens for family egg consumption is something many BC municipalities have supported with similar goals in mind. Telkwa and Terrace are good local examples.

It is not our intention to apply for a bylaw amendment or re-zoning for our particular parcel. We would like the Town to come up with a solution for allowing backyard chickens. For example, we believe there could be a simple change made to the definition of an "amenity animal"anímal" to include a small number of hens. While we feel there is support within Council for allowing backyard chickens, we do not propose to know how the bylaws, policies or operations would need to be altered to affect this change. This is why we are asking CouncilCounoil to lead the change.

We invite you to reflect on this matter and kindly provide a response within a reasonable amount of time. We are openopên to any discussionsdiscusslons you may request on this matter.

Sincerely,

Ryan and Jennifer Holmes 1084 Cedar St 847 5397

I am the managerm¿rnager of Tercel Telecom Ltd, located in Richmond, B.C. We are a supplier and service provider for ?brefibre optics technologies. On behalf of the company, I would like to take this opportunity to make a proposal. It is a proposal that could bene?tbenefit every citizencitizen in your town. It would actually greatly improve people’speople's lives.

As a whole, CanadaCanadahashas had a really late start for ?berfiber technology compared to the rest of the world. Authorities have realizedrcalized this trend and have already implemented tremendous investments to expand ?brefibre optics throughout BC. However, major service providers are skipping a lot these towns. In fact, according to them, these communities are not cost- effective projects. They are merely interested in more populated cities. It would take up to 10 years before anything could be done.

We represent “Fiber"Fiber Home Group”,Group", one of the largest manufacturer and producer in the world for ?brefibre technologies such as ?brefibre cables and GPON. Tercel Telecom would like to take up the responsibilities of laying ?berfiber in your community. Our is to bring high speed intemet and optic TV all across rural BC. Since we are already a global supplier for ?ber,f,rber, and we have reliablereiiable local ?berhber contractors, it would make a lot of sense to team up with the local municipalities to make these projects happen. We are able to invest money 'We and equipment. We can guarantee the quality and competitive prices when working with the government. I hope Wewe can work towards establishing a win-win cooperation.

Thank you for youryooih"lp-help with this; we've submitted (for a second try) and are waiting for the results for funding forfor 2016.2016.

Since these grants are very difficult to get, we would like to submit a grantgrantapplicationapplication to the Wetzin'kwa Community Forest Corperation under their grants for community projects section.

They require letters of support as well; would we be permitted to include the letter that the Town of Smithers wrote for ONSP for the Heritage Grant in our Wetsin'kwa grant application package? I don't need anything further from you; I just thought I should ask before I share the letter with anyone but the original recipient!recipient-í

For: the City Council of Smithers, October 7,7,zïft2014

Classical musicians in rural Canada have uniqueuníque challenges. Our communities are often small and far apart and distance can prevent us from connecting with other musiciansmusícians and accessing the breadth of services andand' opportunitiesopportunit¡es available in larger urban centres. Here is a littlelittte more information about our program. The Orchestra North Summer Program is an orchestral and chamber music festival that draws together musiciansmusícians of all ages and abilities from across Northern British Columbia for 6 days in beautiful Smithers BC,BCI enriching our community through the arts. The program: 1)l) provides high quality musical experiences and educationeducatíon to its participants and audience members 2) encourages collaboration and musical excellence, forthefor the bene?tbenefit of norther musicians and audience members alike. 3) 3) Celebrating northern musiciansmusieíans and composers, allowing opportunities to showcase excellence and develop a musical identity where northern musicians can share their craft withwÍth northern audiences. ONSPOjVSP FestivalFestival Events:Events:

Bene?tsBenefits to Smithers:SmÍthers:

Some obvious benefits of the Orchestra NorthNorlh Program to the municipality of Smithers are: ArtisticArtistíc Enrichment of Smithers:Smíthers: 45%45Yo ofal our 66 participants were from Smithers or the area this year. Our musicians and students are encouragedentouraged to develop themselves musically through the program and to share their work with the community. Inln addition, we performed for an estimated 900 audience membersmembérs during ONSPONSp 2014, many of them from Smithers, and are able to feature local composers and performers. Business: The out-of-towners and their families bring additional business to Smithers during their stay for the week. I also met significant numbers of audience members who had travelled to Smithers speci?callyspecifically îorfor the event.

Putting Smithers on the Map: Our program brings exposure for local businesses and raises the pro?leprofile of Smithers as being a hub of vibrant artist, and excellence in artistry. What other northern community of itsíts size can claim to gather musicians from across the north to host full—scalefulþscale symphony orchestra performances!

Smithers Town Council: Mayor: Taylor Bacharach Councilors: Gladys Atrill Phil Brienesse Greg Brown Shelley Browne BiIl Goodacre Frank'Wray

Dear Mr. Bacharach and Council Members of the Smithers' Town Council

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for the decision to rename the street next to what was the Dan Hamhuis' family home while they lived in Smithers to Hamhuis Way. This is a very fitting tribute to an incredible arnbassador for the town of Smithers through his world renowned hockey careef.

I would appreciate if, as a Council, you might consider taking this one step further. While travelling through the surrounding communities: (Fraser Lake, Burns Lake - Decker Lake, and}Jazelton), the signs that recognize their elite athletes upon entering their conmunities from the east and west both celebrate and honour their respective accomplishments as being the community that they began their sports' careers at the local, national, and international level.

Dan has certainly represented this through his rnany accomplishments in hockey. He was a member of the team that won the NHL YoungStars Game in2002, won the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy in 2002, and the Bill Hunter Memorial Trophy in2002, both for being the WHL best defenseman and player of the year, and the CHL Defenseman of the Year in 2002, the WHL Player of the Year in 2002. He played major junior hockey with the Prince George Cougars of the WHL, and was selected l2rh in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft with the Nashville Predators. After cornpleting his hnal season with the CHL he made his professional hockey debut with the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL, a minor league afflrliate of the Nashville Predators. After five seasons with the Predators he signed a6 year contract with the Vancouver Canucks.

He has played in several international hockey events at both the junior and senior levels for Canada. At the 2001 and2002 World Junior Championships, he brought horne bronze and silver rnedals respectively. He has appeared in f,rve World Championships, wiming gold in2007, silver in 2008 ancl 2009. In January 20l4,he was named to the 2014 Olympic Team, rvinning a gold medal atthe2014 'Winter Olympics ancl just this past week (May 2015) winning gold as a membel of Team Canada in Prague.

It is also worth noting that he, his wife Sarah, ancl their three daughters clonated $50, 000 dollals to the new hockey afeîaat the Old Timers' Hockey Game during the Srnithers' Centennial. He and his family continue to give back to what was his community in many ways'

We have had NHL players note of that were born and/or raised in Smithers: Jim and Joe Watson who were Sta¡ley CLlp winners. Jim was a five time NHL All Star Game selection and played for Team Canadain 1976. Joe was a two time NHL All-Star and is a member of the Flyers Hall of Fame. Brothers Ron and Rob Flockhart were NHL players. Ron Homenuke raised i¡ Smithers, another NHL player who was a forward for the VancouveiCanucks. Alan Kerr played for the , and the Wimipeg Jets. Paul 'Butch' Monis was ¿iarte¿ by the Farm Team the Long Island Ducks. Mike Wall played for the Anaheim Ducks ancl the Colorado Avalanche. He is one of two goalies in the NHL who has actually scored a goal. He currently continues to demonstrate his goalie skills on the Smithers, Steelheacls.

We are truly a hockey town, being a community that had many hockey players prepare for their NHL careers on Smithers' Hockey Ice' This is evident with the recent builáing ånd public support for the second sheet of ice in our community.

I am confident that if I investigated ftrrther, we have many noteworthy athletes that were born and raised in Srnithers, too numerous for me to mention. I also recognize that it is difficult for.the town to acknowledge each sport on an individual basis. Despite this, oui hockey legends, in my personal opinion, are worthy of more then a banner in an arena, we have had rnoie then enough pþers over time to generate our own string. This is pretty amazingfor a town the size of Smithers and the short period of actual time over tirne for these men to hone their skills. We must have had some pretty incredible community coaches and very supportive parents.

I leave a decision to your discretion and await your reply.

Yours truly,

Elaine Thompson

From: Joe De Gísi [mailto:[email protected]] a a$ts Sent: Thursday, May 2L,2015 12:10 PM To: Deborah Sargent lown of $rnåg¡eru Cc: Colin Bateman; Susan Bassett; [email protected]; Penny Goodacre; Bíll Price Subject: Re: Chandler Park Field Grant application.

Hi Deborah,

Council supports the BVSS in the provision of soccer progr¿ìms to youth in the Bulkley Valley. In recognition of the importance of soccer to all ages and in all communities in the region, Council has prioritizedthe upgrade of the Chandler Park soccer fields, has agreed to administer a $250,000 grant from the Bulkley-Nechako Regional District for the upgrades, and has committed $50,000 of additional funds in2015 to acquiring equipment to maintain the fields. Council has also created the Chandler Park Fields Upgrade Advisory Committee, with participation by Town Council members, Town staft and the youth, men's and women's soccer leagues of Smithers to collaborate in designing the field upgrades. Council also supports BVSS in seeking additional funds for the Chandler Field Upgrade project.

I believe thatfall intake will represent a ne\ry funding cycle for NDI. Past discussion in the Fields Upgrade committee meeting extended to the fact that Council doesn't have amethod for formally pnontizing which projects receive a letter of support for NDI. Thank you for the reminder that this issue should be revisited at the next Chandler Upgrades advisory committee meeting. I think that the soccer groups would like some reassurance that the Chandler Fields project will be able to count on a leffer of support from the Town for the next NDI proposal intake. I am confident that even in the fall there will still be components to the field project that require additional funds, be it fencing, lights, a parking lot, or (if and only if the fields are complete) the clubhouse.

Thanks, Joe

HiJoe,

Thank-you for the clarification on the grant applications.

You are correct that NDI grants cover recreation facilities. My concern, and I believe it was also expressed by the Mayor who is on the Regional Advisory Committee, is that the Recreation Halls and Facilities component of NDI funding is over- subscribed in the Smithers area so the likelihood of funding this year may not be good.

Hi Deborah, others

Jen and I have been working on the following grant applications:

(1) Farm Credit Canada AgriSpirit; this was a $25K request I submitted on May l8; it did not ask for letters of support, but if successful it will require the town to administer the spending of the grant (2) V/et'zin'kwa; we are working on this request for $10K, which I believels due next week (3) Province of BC Gaming Grant - I understand from Jen that there is aCapitalcomponent, we will almost certainly seek funds for the fields there; I don't know the details of this yet (a) NDI; the next intake for this is in the fall I believe.

Deborah, if memory serves you expressed skepticism that NDI was a good match for field upgrades, but I think we can further investigate that; when I lookpt NDI's web site I don't immediately see why C¡*at.tpark fields would not be a "recreation" facility meeting their criteria.

These are the grants i am presently aware of. Perhaps if Jen knows of others, she can speak to them.

Please let us know if anything is unclear or more detail needed.

For the letter, one of us will get aparagraphto you before the end of the day.

Joe

Dear Mayor Bachrach,

It is with great pleasure that I acknowledge the efforts of the Smithers Fire Rescue, whose hard work on behalf of Muscular Dystrophy Canada in 201.4/L5 contributed to the overall British Columbia/yukon total of S0e8,S0z! This October at the Fall Fire Fighter conference we will be presenting your department with the award for the 2O1'4/L5 Top Single Department Event! Firefighter support allows us to provide necessary

services and fund cutting-edge research to support the 50,000+ Canadians who are affected with a neuromuscular disorder. lt is an honour and a privilege to work with a group of individuals with such remarkable enthusiasm and dedication and we are confident that together, we will be able to find a cure in

Canadian Fire Fighters have supported Muscular Dystrophy Canada for over 60 years. This support has allowed the progress that has enabled people with neuromuscular disorders to live fuller, longer, and more engaged lives. The funds raised provide services so that people with neuromuscular disorders can access information, workshops, and support groups. You help to fund costly equipment purchases for aids such as wheelchairs, lifts, hospital beds, and braces, which give clients the mobility and confidence to fully participate wherever they desire.

The difference that your department makes in the lives of families is extraordinary and the continued kindness helps children, teens and adults look forward to the future with renewed hope, Fire Fighters are instrumental in carrying out Muscular Dystrophy Canada's mission to enhance the lives of those affected with neu romuscu lar disorders.

While we will never be able to adequately express our gratitude to your fire department members, we thank them, along with you and your entire community for your support.

Please join me in congratulating Smithers Fire Rescue on their incredible efforts and accomplishments. They are truly are "Making Muscles Move!" Yoirssinjly, Alyssa Goad Manager, Revenue Development BC/yu kon M uscular Dystrophy Canada

4 W3 ,ra L 6 1 Dear Council Members,

For over 10 years I have been part of the Smithers SloaPitchSlo-Pitch League Executive. On behalf of our league and all our members I am writing you this letter in support of Smithers Minor Baseball having a storage unit on site to keep equipment in during the ball season. We feel this is something that will bene?cialbeneficial to both Minor Baseball and Smithers Slo Pitch Leagues.

Before knowing that this unit was alreadyakeady in place at Elks Park, which I’mI'm sure sounds like a farce however it’sit's completely legit. I had a recent conversation with Andrew about access to washrooms, ?eldfield improvement and a storage facility for our Slo-Pitch League. Always the same old stuff every year and nothing ever gets done, which is on us completely. Driving down railway yesterday I was excited to see this Sea Can at the ball ?elds.fields. The idea’sidea's started ?owingflowing right away.

The Great ldea’s:ldea's: 1.) Do you think minor ball would give us access to their Sea Can? - Of course they will all our plans as a league are to benefit both parties, this shouldn’tshouldn't be a problem

2.) Wouldn't it be great to be able to have a place to store allallthisthis equipment? - Of course something that can be taken away each season. Put into place at the beginning of May and taken away at the end of August.

Our plan as a league is to higher a student to open and lock the washrooms for us every M, W, and F. Includedlncluded in this job we’dwe'd like to have them line the ?eldsfields and set up the bases as well. (Not only for us, but for minor ball to) Having a structure to store all the bases, lime, line machine, and tools needed to do this would be an added bonus.

3.) Wouldn’tWouldn't it be great to have magnetic bases set up on all diamonds at Elks Park? -Yes this comes at a cost, how ever the long term bene?tbenefit would be worth the initial cost.

It have put this idea forth to Roger Smith for approval, who in turn is looking into it. During our discussion I committed the Smithers Slo-Pitch League to the purchase of the bases and all components needed to have this put in place. Of course we don't want this to just accommodate our league the idea is to have it set up so all user groups have the ability to use them. Estimated cost to be paid by Smithers Slo-Pitch is $3000.00

Moving forward I feel that we should be able to come up with some compromise to make all of these things happen. I suggest that we try having the Sea Can at Elks Park on a temporary basis this year, then work together to come up with a permanent solution that will be bene?cialbeneficial for all parties for years to come.

Sincerely, Þ1'..ì 1J a-f Margaret Groves d.'"-iJ Smithers Slo-Pitch Vice President t
