  • Fraser River Flood Protection
    Ref: 4984361203924 FEB Z8 2014 His Worship Mayor Bruce Banman City of Abbotsford 32315 South Fraser Way Abbotsford, British Columbia V2T lW7 Dear Mayor Banman: Thank you for yourletter of December 18, 2013, and meeting of February 4, 2014, regarding your request for funding, to address flooding issues and concerns in the Fraser River upstream of Beharrell Road in Abbotsford and the Matsqui Dike. We are pleased to confirm that the City of Abbotsford can proceed, as requested, with erosion protection works on the Fraser River to mitigate the growth of the new Erosion Arc located upstream of Beharrell Road near the Matsqui Dike. The works will be funded by the City of Abbotsford with the province supporting the project through the reallocation of $ 1.218 million from the unconstructed 2007 Ridgedale Bank Armouring project. In regard to seeking additional funding for this project, the province also urges the City of Abbotsford to approach other stakeholders or benefactors for potential funding such as Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada or Metro Vancouver. Emergency Management BC's, Flood Protection Program (FPP), is the province's only mechanism to provide funding to local governments for flood protection and mitigation works. As you know, the FPP is application based, and the final application intake to the program closed in May 2013. Neither of the projects you are requesting funding for were included within the last application intake. Please note that the 2013 intake will fully subscribe the FPP and no additional funding is anticipated at this time. Accordingly, your request for an additional $2.2 million to undertake the Ridgedale Bank Armouring project cannot be considered at this time as it was not included within the last application intake and funding is not available.

  • Report of Speaker Darryl Plecas to the House Leaders and Lamc in Reply to the Responses of Mr
    February 20, 2019 REPORT OF SPEAKER DARRYL PLECAS TO THE HOUSE LEADERS AND LAMC IN REPLY TO THE RESPONSES OF MR. JAMES AND MR. LENZ PART 1 – OVERVIEW A. INTRODUCTION 1. This report provides some comments about the responses that have been delivered by Mr. James and Mr. Lenz. I believe you may find it useful, since I am most familiar with the matters discussed in my Preliminary Report. I recognize that this part of the process remains at a preliminary stage – the Audit and Workplace Review will make findings about what actually happened. But at this stage, the House Leaders need to decide whether confidence in these two officers has been undermined to the point that, regardless of the outcome of the further processes, audits and investigations, Mr. James and Mr. Lenz cannot realistically return to their positions as the senior executives of the Legislative Assembly. 2. The responses from Mr. James and Mr. Lenz attempt to create a contest of evidence between me and them, but that is not what this is about. First, my Preliminary Report is not based solely on my own observations, but is supported by the accounts of more than a dozen witnesses who worked with Mr. James and Mr. Lenz for many years at the Legislature. I am confident that when current employees and managers are interviewed, the evidence will be very similar. 3. Second, in many instances which I have highlighted in Parts 2 and 3 below, the responses provided by the suspended officers can be assessed without having to decide whether to believe them or me.

  • Response of Gary Lenz, Sergeant at Arms of the British Columbia
    Response of Gary Lenz, Sergeant at Arms of the British Columbia Legislative Assembly, to the Report of Speaker Darryl Plecas to the Legislative Assembly Management Committee Concerning Allegations of Misconduct by Senior Officers of the British Columbia Legislative Assembly I address this to you, the members of the Legislative Assembly Management Committee, not only because I understand that you have requested a response from me, but also because you represent the Members of the Legislative Assembly who voted to have me as your Sergeant-at- Arms. You, as Members, have voted to place me on administrative leave and I seek to clear my name and return to my position. I have done nothing wrong and I wish to return to work. I want the truth to come out, as I know you, the Members of the Legislative Assembly Management Committee, and the public want the truth to come out. It has been difficult to respond to the Speaker’s allegations since the concerns relating to the Sergeant-at-Arms have been combined with the concerns related to the Clerk; at times I have found it difficult to determine who, specifically, the Speaker’s allegations are concerned with. I have reviewed the Speaker’s Report and have answered the Speaker’s allegations to the best of my ability. If, when you read my response, you have any further questions, I welcome the opportunity to provide you with further clarification and information. As you are aware, I have only had access to minimal records and have not had any access to my staff.
