QD: would like to clarify an item on page 4 of the minutes. "He felt they were under pressure to approve it on the spot" should read "approve the Pesticide Management Plan on the spot".

Moved: Bill Matthews - "Adoption of Minutes" Seconded: Maureen Brinson Vote: Adopted with amendment - Unanimously

RF: asked Rob to brief the table on correspondence re Dennis Fitzgerald and Michel deBellefeuille. RH: with respect to ISO and CSA certification, Michel is responsible for the coastal group. Dennis works all across Canada and doubts that he will be involved as much. RF: Michel's response to an executive coastal council was that it's not being put forward at this time. HP: will the email we exchanged be discussed? RF:it refers to an opportunity to attend a conference and will be handed out.

N I W A G NIWAG - Minutes - Septemtr 18, 2003 Page 2 of 10 5. IWA Presentation and Handout

TK:I understand the indicators and there isn't one on parent company employees. RH: who wrote the report? TK:I did as well as others and we had some input from the local. We're not against contractors. 546 employees represent a snapshot of the company. Co-design came in, we sat in a room until the company was happy and we went back to work. In 1999 we cut more jobs. Of 160 now, only 110 are working. Workers given packages were under the impression they would work. Prime example is 36 truck positions would be maintained, it went down to 34 and now is 28. Today only 110 - 121 people have worked. The falling dept. was given only 10 days to decide on their job. We should have an indicator for this. RW: we have contractors in our local and they're easy to work with. We thought we had an agreement over the falling. There are several grievances on the table and packages were given. The agreement was the fallers would be eliminated through attrition. We filed contracting out issues and met with the company but didn't make much headway. Previously we met with the ethics committee regarding the fallers that have lost work but didn't get a response. This is a critical issue for us and we fear the next phase won't be far behind. On the fallers first day back they were told their positions were being sold and they had 9 days to decide. We have always offered to try to work out problems but we haven't been taken up on that offer. No thoughts were given to the fallers. The alternate shifts vote was unfortunate. Had we voted separately on the boom and dryland sort it might have changed the outcome. It wasn't indicated there would be a reduction for the rest of the workers. The company talked about viability and making it work but we had 20 trucks sitting at home and using a contractor to haul isn't a viable solution. People being called in for a day here and there is creating real difficulties.In other places, contractors have taken over the whole operation. People holding the tenure should invest in equipment and people. We should deal with contractors and government not Weyerhaeuser and contractors. RF: the floor is open for questions. DD: who told the crew about successorship? RW: the company. DC: what is the point of this report? TK: we had 546 men, now we have 160.I feel we need an indicator. DD: can't the union track the number of employees? TK: yes but we can't track the non-union contractors. DD: will indicators show how many they have or how many they've lost? HP: can you clarify the dryland sort and whole crew vote? RW: the Vince Ready agreement indicated the boom and dryland sort go to alternate shifts but by the whole crew voting, we lost the opportunity. HP: possibly if only the people affected by the alternate shifts voted, you may have had agreement? RW: the company changed the parameters at the meeting, within a week the numbers changed and the date to accept severance packages changed. QD: would like expansion on "safety as a priority". Does it lead people to hide accidents? TK: I'm told people won't report them, but we can't prove it. We can't go near the contractors for their safety tour reports. RH: are you speaking for the Safety Committee?

N I W A G NIWAG - Minutes - September1J 03 Page 3 of 10 DC: what do these allegations have to do with an indicator on parent company employees? We like to provide reports for the table and had this dropped on us. TK:I apologize, but I tried to bring this up before and it wasn't addressed. RF: the issue is to find out how to deal with the issue. RW: what is the indicator you're trying to define, the whole operation or parent company. To a degree, we track the numbers but have no way of tracking non-union workers. MB: this isn't the first time we tried to clarify employees before. Do we mean hours of work. RF: current indicator doesn't track that. HP: social and economic indicators have been the hardest. We put hard things in the parking lot. We are at a point where we have constant IWA representation and the Weyerhaeuser rep. has gotten away from the admin. side.I don't expect any decision today. This is one phase of information and we need more before we take a position on an indicator. RF: we need to be prepared going into the indicator workshop. Would Weyerhaeuser .,like to comment? GN: I'm not prepared to get into matters in the grievance process.I respect Ted's point of view. This is the labour perspective. Obviously I disagree with some things. From October 1997 here has been tremendous downsizing and at a financial cost, not only human cost. There has been $16 million given out in packages.I get weekly reports for Y & L. I'm not prepared to go to Ted (Arkell) and manage his business. On a given day I don't know how many employees he has, but we measure results. The one thing that bothers me is around safety. We have a "unbuckled, unsafe, unemployed" rule that applies and hopefully gets the attention in a constructive way. An unsafe workplace is not the norm here. DC: an indicator that measures parent company bargaining employees would be very narrow and not very useful. TA: We have the same union through our operation.If criteria is employment, we should measure number of employees with the company and number of employees with contractors.It should be a common level of measurement.I empathize with the people. It's all about working in a diminishing pie. TK:I understand Greenstone has sub-contractors and we don't know their numbers. RW: based on the 86 snapshot and number of people, contractors can't grow if parent company loses. Volume can increase provided increase isn't loss of jobs for parent company. QD:I would like George's perspective on a couple of things.It was suggested the falling crew wasn't notified until their first day after being off for six months. GN: they hadn't worked since March 2003. QD: and there was no opportunity to inform them? GN: we had other options, but this option was the one taken. RF: we want to find out where are we going with this. QD: appreciates this report but has been pleading for reports on socio-economic aspects as well. We need fully rounded information to be informed on the company. BM: I'm confused about mandates. The mandate is through our indicators. RF: the auditors adjudicate the indicators. BM: we should flush out what would be an indicator. We could debate both sides forever.

NIWAG NIWAG - Minutes--Septerr04 ,2003 Page 4 of 10 TK:I apologize for not handing it out sooner. My apologies on the safety issue. The way we used to do things isn't the way we do them now. RF: What are the indicators/criteria? The auditors tell us if we're doing things right. Indicators represent in words what values and goals we have. We had sporadic representation by the union in the past and now Ted has been attending. Not all indicators are about jobs. QD:I have a slight issue with auditors passing judgment on indicators.If they are acceptable to this table and judge if the company is in compliance with those indicators, it's left up to this table. RF: I'm referring specifically to the auditor's report. We're lacking in socio and economic sectors. Move the indicator to the workshop and have the union propose an indicator.

15 minute break

6. a) Report on August 16th Powell River Advisory Group Invitation - RF: no one from our group attended.I have solicited a report from their group but have had no response to date.

b) Pest (Vegetation) Management Plan - RH: the plan is together with a final review this week. It will possibly go to the appropriate ministry tomorrow. DD: did you have any spraying in the Sayward Valley? RH: there are opportunities to do backpack spraying. DD: we have a problem with it in the valley. RH: we were committed to advertising in the newspapers in Campbell River and Sayward. The residents have an opportunity to come back to us and discuss. QD: I'd like to submit a report from the environmental council (handout). RF: this is the third time tonight that papers have been distributed without any time for consideration.. The Chair requests that all submissions go through the Chair first.

ACTION: ALL: CONSIDER A CHANGE TO THE TERMS OF REFERENCE WHICH WOULD SEE ALL SUBMISSIONS GO THROUGH THE CHAIR AND BE DISTRIBUTED TO MEMBERS A MINIMUM OF 2 DAYS PRIOR TO NIWAG MEETINGS.

QD: we studied information regarding the pesticide treatment and requested that NIWAG should be notified of all treatments in advance and be involved in monitoring the process. JA: do we have a pesticide indicator? RF: the environmental sector proposed that a pesticide indicator be developed. How do we deal with it when one sector is making the request? Is the table interested in receiving this information that is requested? Should we take this to the workshop? JA: what would the indicator be?

NIWAG NIWAG - Minutes - September 1U, I(14 Page 5 of 10 RF: you may refer to the minutes. We have one from Powell River that speaks to percentage of land treated.I request we take this to the indicator workshop and request from Weyerhaeuser to define what could be reasonably reported. RH: we provide the Ministry of Environment with a detailed plan (notification of intent) and justify the use of the chemicals. We are providing background rationale.It's a very detailed plan. We can provide this information also to NIWAG. We had done a final review of the plan and have shipped it off to the Ministry. We have agreed to advertise treatments in Campbell River and Sayward Newspapers and to identify the blocks by local names as this table requested. DC: a lot of information is requested. Also suggest pre and post treatment inventories. RH: pre treatment inventory of wildlife, birds, etc. is not possible. RF: vegetation is automatically done. We'll bring this to the workshop.

Update on Big Tree Riparian Issue - RH: an email to Gord Eason is in your package. Basically the case is closed and a letter will be sent. RF: there is a strong level of concern on trespass actions affecting environmental impacts on crown land. RH: when the official letter comes, it will be copied for NIWAG.

d) NIWAG annual report - handout.

e) Update on First Nations Employment Indicator - GN: there have been no further discussions beyond the last time. RH: Ted Kimoto was invited as the lead man on First Nations on the Coast to discuss where we're going with the indicator. RF: do we have this indicator? RH: It wasn't just employer but contractors as well. Dyer has First Nations employees on DFA that could be used in the percentage. In the Chiefs view, these could contribute. The problem is getting to 6% given the downsizing the industry is in. The message needs to move up the ladder to higher levels. RF: Ted needs to come again. GN: with the proposed 20% withdrawal from the AAC and 8% to First Nations, the 8% isn't a final solution but it's the first step in acknowledging there is entitlement there. RH: Weyerhaeuser, at the national level, has representatives across the country and are re-looking at the "Feather Document". Ted is involved in that. DD: if Weyerhaeuser loses 20% and 8% goes to First Nations, they should not have to come up with 6% employment as well. RF: this table has advocated this and needs to get together and bring to industry. QD: request Weyerhaeuser keep us updated on forestry revitalization program impacts on industry and indicator areas. Suggest that people be clear that 8% is not the same as 8% out of 20% and 6% for employment is on the whole area. RF: could this be added to the monthly local update report? RH: yes. 017

N I W A G NIWAG - Minutes -September 18, 2003 Page 6 of 10 f) Update on NIWAG DFA Employment Indicator - RF: we have agreed to a quarterly tracking of employment on man-hours, 351 man years (July year-to- date). RH: Dyer, Greenstone and Leroy, all contractors and sub-contractors. Take total man-hours and divide by 1500 (1500 hrs=1 person year).

g) Fall Field Trip - RF: it's proposed for one month today (Oct. 18). We'll leave at 8:00 a.m. from the DI, we'll be done by after lunch and we'll be picking up the Sayward people along the way. RH: If we left from here, we would visit Sgt. RandAlly first. An operational timber cruiser will be there to put in a plot. Peter Kofoed, and hopefully John Andres, will talk about indicator #2, mature volumes at inventory levels to increase our knowledge on forest inventory.If we have time, we will visit a brush site on the pig farm. DD: we'll meet at the Big Tree Creek turnoff at 8:45 a.m. RH: we'll bring vests and hard hats.

Participation of tourism/recreation sector - RF: do we fully represent all our sectors? Do we have a rep from recreation? MB:I would bring tourism issues to the table. We don't have a recreation rep. DD: should we start our tour in Sayward if we want to address tourism? HP: the Chamber has tourism, but recreation isn't formally tourism. JA: Sayward Fish & Game is a rep at the table. RF: that covers Sayward, but not Campbell River. RH: the auditors came from Stillwater, who has recreation representatives. Where would we start? There are numerous clubs. BM: Central Island Tourism Assoc. is an umbrella tourist organization. RF: the table needs to address this in the form of the recreational sector. JA: there is a lot of use at the lakes and Sayward area. HP: can it go to a Regional District rep? JA: our Ministry has a mandate - if we have recreational issues coming up, we would know if we need a rep. RH: Weyerhaeuser also has a mandate to do analysis here. We hear from groups like mountaineering and caving. In our regular development, recreation is a resource that gets considered. HP: could we have a summary of the analysis? RF: saying we represent tourism without exposure to the DFA.

RF: Fae Hansen has stepped down and won't be attending future meetings. I propose that we acknowledge her input and invite her to the Christmas party. RH: Fae attended 52 meetings out of 54. RF: do we want to solicit the seniors for representation at this table? HP:I have no special group to report to.I've looked for opportunities to E increase communication rather than a specific group. 08 N I W A G NIWAG - Minutes - September 18, 2003 Page 7 of 10 MB: what groups could we approach?

E RF: we contacted them. BM:I can pursue to seek seniors' rep.

ACTION: BILL MATTHEWS/R.F. TO SEEK SENIOR'S REP.

RF: with Fae leaving, we have lost our web master and need to find someone. RH: Weyerhaeuser will find someone. RF: Peter Rambo was upset and felt he couldn't sit at this table and be productive. He was mandated by the Regional District to be a rep. We accept his resignation. HP: do we approach the Regional District to ask for an alternate? BM: Heather Sprout could be an alternative. QD: we can't tell the Regional District whom to send. DD: the person should be part of the DFA. RF: the Chair understood there was no alternate.I'll prepare the letter. DD: Sayward Futures is a separate entity in Sayward. RF: Heather West also left. We don't have an education rep.I suggest we request a rep from the School Board and have a student as a second. DD: provided they brought the same student each time. HP: the student should be interested in resource management. RF: the high school has a forestry program, I'll check with them. An item for the next agenda is possibly a rep for contractor employees. TK: we represent the union contractors. RF: then this is not an issue.

i) Timing of CSA Standards Workshop - RF: when do we hold a CSA workshop? RH: Michel is a member of the Sustainable Improvement Team. They are certification reps across the country. We were certified to the old standards. In three years it will be to the new standards.I will bring this up at my certification meeting with Michel. As we improve our indicators we should deal with changes in the standards sooner rather than later. We could set up Glen Dunsworth for the October meeting and have Ted come in November. QD: would prefer to have Ted in October and Glen in November. GN: is the meeting date flexible if Ted can't make it on October 23? RH: we'll get Ted's available dates first. RF: let's put the CSA Standards Workshop in the parking lot until January or February. The Indicator Workshop will be this fall. RH: we're also looking at getting a speaker on the results based code.

1) Kelsey Bay Dryland Sort - GN: the person who expressed interest had backed away. If there was another proposal that met all of the needs of the community, it would be considered.It won't be a "fire sale". The pole plant is ready to operate when market conditions improve. The operators will do more noise testing as this is a concern to some residents.

DD: why do we report a 20-litre spill? RH: there is a difference in reporting to PEP. Internally we report all spills -5 litres or more to ground or 1 litre to water. RW: the substance abuse case was an isolated incident and not a policy. The union does not agree with Weyerhaeuser's company policy. There will be a new vision statement coming out regarding coastal restructuring. The union put proposals to industry in April that deal with a lot of issues and haven't had much response. JA: the coastal restructuring document is not a consensus document from the table, it was put forward by the three major companies. RW: the safety report indicated no new incidents, is that average for that time of year? DC: we had 3 incidents in the last 5 months, none in the last 3 months. TK: does that include contractors? DC: Weyerhaeuser employees only. RH: my report includes all company and contractor employees. TA: phase contractors as well? RH: yes (those that we track).

NIWAG NIWAG - Minutes - September 18, 2003 Page 9of10 022 GN: next year any contractor that generates 500 man-hours in a month will be included in the overall calculation.It will include stump-to-dump and phase.

1. MINUTES: Minutes of the meeting of September 17, 2003 were adopted. un 2. FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENT BYLAW: P. Skognes Discussion continued on the draft status report (tabled). The Chair noted that this left meeting at report was a summary of the Group's comments on this bylaw and the sub-group 12:35 p.m. would be continuing to work with specifics, such as the underground wiring and street trees.

One suggestion that was advanced was that staff is to have more authority to vary and approve infill development applications. It was pointed out that some further authority had in fact been granted, for example in the recent amendment to the subdivision bylaw. The comment was made that this authority brought the bylaw into line with existing Provincial legislation. Other changes in this area were that staff had greater authority in the approval of development permit applications, particularly in the resolving of technical issues.

Staff to In order for staff to have more authority in making decisions as to when the provide Frontage Improvement and the Subdivision Bylaw conditions apply, policy Scenarios guidelines need to be established and the bylaws modified to reflect this. At the next meeting staff will provide scenarios for the group to test out.

Page 1 027

P:\PLANNING\Development Liaison Group\2003\Minutes - Oct 15- 03 revised. rtf Page 2 of 3 MINUTES of the Development Liaison Group Meeting held October 15, 2003.

Staff to Mr. Stanton pointed out that very little case-law had emerged in B.C. around identify issues interpretation of the legislation on which the recent amendment to the subdivision in "directly bylaw (that offsite improvements paid for by the developer had to be "directly related" related" to the development) was based, and that there was need for policy phasing position on this point as well. Staff members indicated they would bring issues for policy development in these areas for discussion next meeting.

Sub-group to It was noted that the Frontage Improvement bylaw carried the same requirements consider as the Subdivision Bylaw (pursuant to Section 938 of the Local Government Act), Specific leading to what may be an undesirable level of inflexibility. Specific components Components of the offsite improvements mandated by the bylaw are to be considered in the sub-group initially.

Offsite Another policy position is needed for the offsite improvement standards to be Improvementsapplied for infill - for example overhead vs underground wiring, or street trees - Standards up to and including whether or not frontage improvement charges should be Policy imposed at all, i.e. should there be a threshold level of extra demand created by the development (see, for example, dividing one lot in two) before Frontage Improvement charges are required.

Planning and Engineering are meeting to establish infrastructure and servicing requirements for the 8 planning areas identified in the OCP review. This will identify the requirements for each area and provide developers with the costs involved.

The Chair indicated that the DLG may want to re-visit the cost sharing formula for offsite improvements from the point of view of encouraging infill development, providing an incentive, posing the question of whether it would be in the long-term interest of the District to place a proportionately greater burden on the existing tax base as an "investment" in increasing that tax base with relatively little associated infrastructure cost.

From the ensuing discussion, it emerged that the various formulas for calculating frontage improvement charges could lead to widely varying results, depending on the configuration of the property involved, and the condition of the existing infrastructure, which reinforced the approach that different situations called for different solutions. It was also noted that it may not be legally possible to require developers to pay in lieu of doing the required construction - a result that would lead to piecemeal, incongruous improvements.

One way of addressing these problems on a case-by-case basis has been to encourage LIP applications, so that the improvements triggered by the development application are in fact done on an integrated basis. The Community Charter legislation contains a similar program authority - specified areas improvement - but a key difference is that the spending of funds generated from the municipality as a whole are subject to a counter-petition process.

It was suggested that perhaps a "triggering mechanism" for a general upgrade in Page 2 028 P:\PLANNING\Development Liaison Group\2003\Minutes - Oct 15- 03 revised. rtf Page 3 of 3 MINUTES of the Development Liaison Group Meeting held October 15, 2003.

that area of the proposed development needed to be identified; i.e. a level of development at which it became attractive to re-order the established priorities for infrastructure upgrades to take advantage of economies of scale in combining with the developer in actually doing the upgrade. It was also noted that, again, this sort of "investment" (moving up an already-planned upgrade to coincide with major developments) would lead to a widening of the tax base and encourage further upgrades, leading to further property value increases.

Financing Again, it was recommended that a policy position be developed on the whole area Policy for of financing offsite improvements for infill development. Staff members agreed to Infill request the Finance Department to present to the DLG, options for financing infill development under the Community Charter, if possible at the next meeting.

Willis Road Representatives from the DLG, M. Clare and R. Stephens, will attend the next Council meeting (Oct 20, 2003) as a delegation to put forth the group's recommendation to ensure that the Willis Road upgrade is a priority.

3. OCP REVIEW AND UPDATE: Planning staff is continuing to meet with the focus/stakeholder groups. The environmental group is looking at specific policies required to fulfill their goals and objectives for Greenways and Open Spaces. Planning and Engineering are to meet this week to work on setting up standards for infrastructure and servicing in each planning area. A draft of the Plan should be available by the end of the year.

4. OTHER BUSINESS: DLG Status The Planning Services Manager reviewed the DLG Status Report, Table One: Report Implementation Schedule. Changes discussed were noted and added to the table. This table will make up part of the submission of an annual report to Council.

8:00 A.M. Group Departs Discovery Inn in Campbell River 8:30 A.M. Pick up Sayward/Kelsey Bay participants at Big Tree Main and safety talk. 9:30 - 11:00 A.M. Visit Sgt. RandAlly tree and PK and JS discussion on forest inventory.

RD: In 1993 Ally Gibson and myself were engineering this cutblock when we found this large tree.Bill Beise from Nanaimo came out and measured, indicating this was the largest yellow cedar by score (i.e. not by volume). Weyerhaeuser moved the proposed road to save the tree and set aside the immediate area.It sat dormant, until approximately one year ago. (Handout) RH: the push to publicize the tree was through the Sayward people. They started a society and Weyerhaeuser allocated FIA funds to put the trail through. The site is not designated a park but is in a Wildlife Tree Patch. Weyerhaeuser also received permission from the Ministry of Environment to remove the danger trees. RF: what is the estimated age of the tree? RH: well over 1,000 years old. RF: is there any concern over the windfirmness around the site?

Fall Field Trip Page 1 of 4 Date: October 20, 2003

RH: there have been wind issues in this valley. Weyerhaeuser will incorporate protecting this Wildlife Tree Patch as we develop the surrounding area. RH: we'll move down the trail where JS has put in a cruising plot and PK will talk about inventory. JS: we have pre-set grids in the office with 100m marks that are laid over the engineered block map. The marker is placed in the field and a prism is used to determine which trees are used in the sample. The bigger the tree, the farther away it can be from the marker and still be in the sample. RH: stumpage is determined using the species, grade and volume. The grade structure is a two-year trailing average with a 6-month lag. JS: there is operational cruising and inventory cruising. 31+ (inventory) can vary from 1:1 to 1:8 (plot/ha), depending on stand sample. MdB: that's with 1 plot per ha? JS:operational is generally 1 plot to 1 ha. QD: how do you pick the plot? JS:.. the engineers give us a map and we place the 100m X 100m grid over it. Each crossbar is where the plot is. CC: do you take out the creek areas? JS:if it isn't netted out of the engineered map, we don't net it out. RF: how accurate is the estimate of volume? JS: last year they were skewed with the blowdown and the processor. We don't use Ministry volumes for planning. The Ministry has set decay waste and loss factors. In house, we call it as we see it (decay). RF: are they usually within 15%? JS: usually within 10% average per block. RH: operational cruise determines stumpage, if the volume is higher, we still pay on all the volume. JS: residue is also charged stumpage. DC: it's species, condition and number of trees? JS: basal area of the prism times one-third height times number of trees equals gross volume. Then take off decay, waste and breakage for net volume. MdB: basically basal area of tree times height equals volume. JS: we determine what's in, the species, 1.3m is the height at which we take diameter, path (defects on the tree), stubs, height is determined by vertex (sound) or laser (sight) and watch for lean of the tree. (JS demonstrated getting the height of a tree using the vertex.) Must be within 5% error from Ministry. QD: how many plots do you do per day? JS: usually 10 per day, depending on the terrain. RF: what is the cost of all the equipment? JS: approximately $10,000 for each cruiser. We don't use any note cards, timber types are put onto the maps. In2"d growth we determine age with an increment bore. QD: mistakes can be made putting information into the handhelds. JS: we also have internals audits. MoF has audited approximately 40 plots this year. Last year we had cruised approximately 2200 plots. CC: what is the penalty?

033

Fall Field Trip Page 2 of 4 Date: October 20, 2003

JS: a fail is a re-cruise.If we fail on heights, we have to revisit all plots. MoF has the option of re-auditing. Discrepancies can be within limits. RF: do you record any other resources? JS: we used to, but don't any longer.It became redundant when the foresters record the information for the SP.

PK: the DFA has 2 main tenures. The forest inventory for TFL 39 was done in the early 1960's. Private land was done in the 1970's. The forest land inventory used aerial photos. Accessible mature used 1 sample per 40 ha and tried to get a picture of the whole forest. Approx. 30,500 ha. were considered inaccessible and had no sampling done. Operational cruise was 1 to 4 ha and we're putting that into the inventory to replace the 1 to 40 ha information. In DFA, 25,000 ha of2ndgrowth have been measured and 20,000 has been incorporated into our data. The aerial photos are our best source of information and NIT just had a new set of photos taken. (Handout) MB: when planting is done, are those numbers adjusted? PK: forestry does assessments and that information is fed into the database. We are tracking sample locations and will be able to remove them once logged. Operational cruise is providing better information. MoF randomly audited plot volumes and was 9% higher than inventory volume. We're also putting in plots that were considered inaccessible by using plots similar that we have information for. QD: is it strictly volume? PK: yes, and species information is also available. QD: MoF audit didn't look at quality. PK: volume only. RH: we use that data for our indicators 1, 2 and age class indicators. DD: how do you account for single stem harvesting? PK: it has become more complicated. RH: most single stem is cedar in conventional areas. It's covered in the cutting permit. DD: what about single stem blocks? - JS: we only have one block and it isn't in a cutting permit yet. RF: the question came from cedar volume and we have addressed that. Single stem is a new issue.

11:00 A.M. Left the Sgt. RandAlly parking area, briefly stopped to take photos of a unique forked pacific silver fir (handout), and continued to a streamside stop to discuss rainfall shutdown guidelines and field turbidity measurements/oxygen measurements.

RF: RG was concerned about how we determine if turbidity is a problem. There are three types of particles in the water-dissolved, saltated (bouncing along the bottom), and suspended. Turbidity measures the suspended particles. The best reliability is to take the water sample to a lab. For different purposes turbidity becomes a problem at different levels (e.g. water quality for drinking water vs. water quality for fish survival). RH: we do that on the Oyster River three times per year.It goes to the lab. RF: there is a rainfall shutdown handout.

()34 Fall Field Trip Page 3 of 4 0 Date: October 20, 2003

RH: the weather stations send the information to the office. The weather program calculates soil water balance and calculates if we can operate. HS: what if the system fails? RH: they do it manually. Often in big weather events, the power goes out. FH: the Hydro website also has useful information. RH: there are soil drainage rates, each type of soil can move water at different rates. HS: so at any given time it could only affect certain areas of the operation, not a complete shutdown. RH: that is correct.It gives 24-hour rainfall and is used in the calculation. FH: are there extra allowances because it's at the end of a dry spell? RF: I'm not aware of any allowances. MdB: it's built into the formula.

R.H. to bring water balance calculation tote table.

2:00 Noon Lunch at a rehabilitated poplar plantation and focussed discussions on vegetation management issues and tools.

RH: Norske Skog harvested a portion of the poplar plantation as an experiment. They no longer want to keep the poplar farm. The harvested area was cleared of brush and a breaking disk used to stop the poplars from sprouting. These cedar trees were planted this past August. The fence was built, as it was less expensive than coning.

1:30 P.M. Arrive back at Discovery Inn Campbell River.

Weather Conditions: Raining moderate to hard all day. Mild temperatures even when the group was at 700 metres elevation (Sgt. RandAlly Tree.)

Facilitator's Assessment: NIWAG Situation: Attentive and interactive. Obviously enjoying the outing despite the weather! Way to go! Excellent Lunch.

Participant Comments: "Big tree!! (Randally)." "Weird Tree! (Pacific Silver Fir)". "Wet!" "It would be great if we could all be in one vehicle for better communication during the field trip.""I learned a few things today."

Thanks to Rob Harder and Weyerhaeuser for providing the transportation, the food, the handouts, the personnel and the opportunity. Thanks to NIWAG stakeholder representatives and guests for showing such enthusiasm and interest in all of the information shared. Thanks to Agnes Goldstone for recording the minutes of the field trip in the pouring rain!

District of Campbell River O C T 2 4 2003 301 St Anne's Rd Campbell River Office of the Mayor BC V9W 4C7 District of CampbellRiver Mayor and Council,

We are still receiving information from the BIA in the mail soliciting support.

When the BIA was instigated, I was not in favor of it, because it increases overhead for local businesses. For our building the tax was $600 which was levied between the tenants and the tenants did not get to vote on the issue, which I thought was unfair.

At any rate, once the BIA was initiated we were stuck with it for 5 years and I was silent about the decision. The proponents of a renewed BIA failed to obtain the necessary signatures recently. However, it seems they are carrying on as if they do indeed have approval.I realize that they have funds to spend. I would think it fair that they be bound by the same regulations as other bylaws under the Local Government Act, that is that a defeated motion or bylaw cannot be re-presented for another year minimum.I realize that they can not be stopped from mailing us but feel the lobbying is excessive, and biased.

Please understand, I am not opposed to Campbell River businesses but, I believe the more profitable they are, the more likely they are to hire more employees.

I do not want to be included in a business improvement area, should these fervent people proceed with their request.It puts us at a disadvantage in this area, relative to competition of other areas of town that do not have BIA fees against them.

I would like to be advised of possible options of preventing a BIA from being implemented again in the future, and if council has recommendations that go public, I would appreciate a copy of them for my records.

My staff informed me that once the BIA was dropped, my taxes did not decrease regardless of BIA

coverage being dropped, and so once again, if it is re-implemented, it will increase taxes higher still.I don't think this would be in the best interests of businesses trying to survive.

The rents in my office were $7, per month in 1986 and went up to $12 per foot in about 1998 and now are about $7.25. I am not pleased as an investor to compete with taxes for rental money.

Sincerely,

Dr. Mark Lawrence, D. D. S., M. Cl. D.

Your Worship:

Thank you for your letter of August 14, 2003, regarding the Air Travellers Security Charge (ATSC).

I should clarify that the development of the policy as it relates to the ATSC falls within the purview of the Department of Finance, and the administration and collection of the charge are the responsibility of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency. Since your concerns relate to the policy of the charge, I have taken the liberty of forwarding a copy of your correspondence to the Honourable John Manley, in his capacity as Minister of Finance, for consideration.

As you may be aware, in Budget 2003, Minister Manley announced a reduction of the ATSC to $7 from $12 each way for domestic flights effective March 1, 2003. This is a reduction of more than 40 per cent.

With regard to your question about the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA), I would note that CATSA is responsible for delivering a number of key aviation transport security services, including pre-board screening of persons, the property in their possession or control and their baggage. In addition, under theCanadian Air Transport Security Authority Act,CATSA is required, on an ongoing basis, to demonstrate that consistent, effective, and highly professional service is being delivered at or above the standards set by federal regulations. I should note that the security level applied to domestic and international flights does not necessarily affect staffing levels. I trust that Minister Manley will comment on the difference in fees for international and domestic flights.

Honourable David Collenette, P.C., M.P. Minister of Transport Room 104, East block House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A OA6

Dear Minister Collenette:

Re: Canadian Aviation Security Surcharge

The District of Campbell River has recently been approached by one of our scheduled air carriers expressing a concern over the $24 security fee being levied by Transport Canada to International Air Carriers.In our discussions, we were advised that on a route from Campbell River direct to Seattle, Washington, the carrier must submit $24 to Canada and an additional $7.50 (US) to the United States security agency. When we compare the existing fee of $14 for domestic flights in Canada to the International fees, there is an obvious uneven playing field.

At our airport, CATSA does not perform any additional duties for international traffic, which would require staffing above the level for domestic traffic. Could Transport provide the District of Campbell River with the justification for the additional fee?

The District of Campbell River has owned and operated our airport since 1995. We have experienced the loss of our major air carrier (Air B.C.), and have worked extremely hard to attract new air service to our community. This obvious disparity in charges for short haul routes without receiving any tangible additional security, creates additional financial pressures to our new air service.The District of Campbell River requests that the security surcharge for international flights be brought into a justifiable amount. As there are not any additional security measures required for international flight, the surcharge should be equal to the domestic charges.

Should you require any clarification of our position regarding this issue, please contact our Airport Manager, Mr. Tyler Massee, at (250) 923-5012. Your earliest response will be appreciated.

Yours truly,

Mr. Lynn D. Nash MAYOR. Copies to: Helijet International Inc. Municipal Services Director Airport Manager 139

TO: Administrator FROM: Corporate Services Director DATE: October22, 2003

SUBJECT: GENERAL GRANTS-IN-AID

Recommendation: That the 2003 budget allocation for the General Grants-in-Aid Account 01-219500 be increased by $2,000 to a total budget of $7,000 with the additional funds coming from contingency and that the 2003 Financial Plan be amended accordingly.

Background: Over the last several years Council has maintained a general grants-in-aid account to allow for the most part subsidy funding for rentals of our community facilities. Recent policy has limited our grant-in-aid support to 50% of the rental costs in an attempt to reduce the cost of lost revenues to the District.

Discussion: The tactic of 50% subsidy appears to be losing its value in recent time.This would appear to be the result of two causes.The first cause being the addition of the Community Centre, which has doubled the space available for public rental for community events and in turn increases the potential number of requests to Council for rent subsidy. The second more subtle cause is that since Council introduced the 50% subsidy policy there would appear to be less scrutiny given on the worthiness of the request as after all the loss to the District is only 50% thereby possibly causing a greater give away of rental revenues.Last year the draw on the general grant-in-aid account exceeded the $5000 budget by $861 with this year's projection of overrun of present budget estimated at $1500 to $2,000.

Conclusion: Approval of the recommendation should be sufficient to fund subsidy requests to the year- end.

FileNo: 1830-20 WFR

TO: Administrator FROM: Corporate Services Director DATE: October27, 2003

SUBJECT:Water & SewerUserFees Review for 2004

Recommendation:

That water user fees for 2004 remain unchanged and that the single-family dwelling sanitary sewer user fee be raised by $12.00 per annum to $222.00 per annum and that the balance of the sanitary sewer user fees be adjusted accordingly.

Background:

Each year the Corporate Services Director provides Council with an updated five-year forecast on the operation of the water and sewer revenue funds. This update is provided to Council by way of the attached schedules.

Discussion:

Waterworks Revenue Fund:

The forecast for the Waterworks Revenue Fund (Schedule "A") indicates (using current assumptions) that a water user fee increase is not required for at least the next year and possibly longer. The present forecast suggest that a water user fee increase could occur in 2006 but this will be contingent on the amount of capital work undertaken and debt incurred. Water quality regulation and watershed management has become more onerous and this is also adding to the cost of the system operation. If and when the District implements universal metering this will add to our costs and reduce revenues. A reduction in the volume of water sold will most likely translate into a user fee increase.

Sanitary Sewer Revenue Fund:

Declining surplus for the operation of the Sanitary Sewer Revenue Fund (Schedule "B" financial forecast) is not unknown information to Council.The financial forecast continues to show the urgent need for increased sewer user fees for the next five years. These increases were anticipated at the time we constructed the new sanitary sewer treatment facility and expanded the sanitary sewer system to serve Quinsam Heights and North Campbell River.Our current forecast indicates that sanitary sewer operations should beclose to being fully funded by the year 2008. This of course is dependant on the amount capital works undertaken through borrowing and whether or not Canada/BC infrastructure grants are available. To reach full funding for the sanitary sewer operation the single-family user fee will need to be $270.00 per annum.

Council has adopted a debt management strategy for the water and sanitary sewer utilities. This policy states that debt-servicing costs should not exceed 50% of the total revenues of the respective utility.Our current projections for the sanitary sewer revenue fund show the debt to revenue percentage peaking at nearly 63% in 2003 and then trending mostly downward for subsequent years.By the year 2008 our debt costs to revenues are expected to back within policy.

Conclusion:

The sanitary sewer user fee increase is in keeping with past projections and is vital to maintain the financial stability of the sanitary sewer revenue fund.

Document4 if47 DISTRICT OF CAMPBELL RIVER PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT

File: 0470-30 RDGEN TO: Administrator FROM: Parks & Recreation Supervisor DATE: October 20, 2003 SUBJECT: Regional District ofComox-Strathcona:Possible establishment of new service to provide for pesticide awareness and reduction education program

Recommendation: That the District of Campbell River does not participate in a pesticide awareness and reduction education program with RDCS at this time, due to financial constraints; And that a letter be sent to RDCS thanking them for the opportunity to participate, but declining at this time.

Background: The Regional District of Comox Strathcona is considering establishing a service to create a Pesticide Awareness and Reduction Education Program. The service would be for the provision of education and awareness materials only, with no ability to regulate pesticide use. This service would be funded through a tax levy and could include participation by all Member Municipalities / Electoral Areas or participation by Electoral Areas only. The program is estimated to cost $20,000 each year.

Discussion: At the Regional District Committee of the Whole meeting on July 30, 2003 a report was tabled regarding the establishment of this service. The cost would be funded through property taxes at $.002 per $1000 of assessed value, if all Electoral Areas and Municipalities participate. If only Electoral Areas participate, the cost would be $.005 per $1,000 of assessed value. The contribution for Campbell River is estimated at $5,546.

The service would include, but not be limited to: Self guided demos at compost education sites, public information sessions (4 to be held in Campbell River), producing and circulating handout material, miscellaneous research, meetings with stakeholders and equipment demos of non-chemical weed control. Included in the budget estimate are funds for RDCS staff time, administration, insurance and transportation costs.

The Recycling Program and Compost demonstration sites that are managed by RDCS have been very successful. RDCS would like to implement this service to compliment the two existing programs.

Conclusion: Although this service, combined with the existing recycling and composting programs, seems like a worthwhile project for RDCS, Campbell River is still struggling with financial challenges. Given the numerous funding issues we are facing in the coming year, such as the maintenance of the Island Highway, it seems that there are many difficult decisions that will have to be made. However, this should not preclude Campbell River from having the option to participate in coming years.

ktf , STAFF REPORT REGIONAL DISTRICT SERVICE FOR PESTICIDE AWARENESS Comox-Strathcona AND REDUCTION EDUCATION

DATE: September 11, 2003 FILE: EP-PH

TO: Chair and Members Committee of the Whole - V -- \t-x FROM: Russ Hotsenpiller Operations Planner

RE: POSSIBLE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW SERVICE TO PROVIDE FOR PESTICIDE AWARENESS AND REDUCTION EDUCATION PROGRAM

PURPOSE/PROBLEM

To provide the Committee with financial information on the establishment of a service to create a Pesticide Awareness and Reduction Education Program.

HISTORY/BACKGROUND FACTORS

At the July 30, 2003 meeting of the Committee of the Whole, a report was tabled regarding the establishment of a service to deliver a pesticide awareness and reduction education program.

In that report, the Committee was provided with four options available to establish the service. The Committee chose the option which would see the service created under Section 797.1 of the Local Government Act.Section 797.1 would allow the Regional District to establish the service with the consent of all participants "in relation to the control of pollution, nuisances, pests, noxious weeds, noise, unsightly premises, unwholesome or noxious materials, odours and disturbance." The service would be for the provision of education and awareness materials only, with no ability to regulate pesticide use. There would be no requirement to receive the assent of the electorate by way of counter-petition or referendum.

Staff were directed to prepare a report on the funding costs and tax implications.

ALTERNATIVES

The Committee must decide who will participate. This Report addresses two alternatives:

1. Participation by all Member Municipalities and Electoral Areas. 2. Participation by Electoral Areas only.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

As reported in the last Staff Report, the total cost of providing the program is estimated at $20,000 per year. A copy of the proposed budget is attached for your reference.

LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

Legal advice has indicated that the recommended route for the establishment of control of pesticide use, including the possibility of regulation, would be the establishment of a new service under Sections 800-801 of the Local Government Act. This would require the assent of the electorate and would proceed as per the usual bylaw adoption process.It would be possible however, to establish a service under Section 797.1 of the LGA if that service is limited to public awareness/education and has no regulatory component. Legal advice indicated that this option was not recommended, but is possible. This option does not require consent of the electorate and has been selected by Committee as the preferred option.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL/REGIONAL IMPLICATIONS

The Recycling Program and Compost Demonstration Sites have been very successful in the Regional District. These programs, which fall under the Regional Solid Waste Service, involve all Municipalities and Electoral Areas of our Regional District.

A pesticide awareness and education program would benefit and compliment these programs.

CITIZEN/PUBLIC RELATIONS IMPLICATIONS

If the Regional District were to carry out this new service and provide the education on pesticide use, it would be accessed by all Regional District residents, not just Electoral Area residents. 0 027 Staff Report - Funding - Pesticide Education Program - September 11, 2003

As previously discussed, the program would see among other projects, community outreach, the establishment ofinformationbrochures,displayboothsatvariousfunctions,and advertisements.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL INVOLVEMENT/IMPLICATIONS

N/A

SUMMARY/CONCLUSION

Staff have been directed to provide the Committee with costs of providing-a service to develop an education plan to raise awareness and limit the use of pesticides by residents within the Regional District.

The maximum cost for providing this service is $20,000 per year.

If only the Electoral Areas participate in this service, the cost would be $0.005 per $1,000 of assessed value.

If all Electoral Areas and Member Municipalities participate in the service, the cost would be $0.002 per $1,000 of assessed value.

We would ask the Committee to determine, if they wish this service to be established, who will participate.

RECOMMENDATION

At the wish of the Committee.

O5 028 PROPOSAL FOR PESTICIDE REDUCTION AND AWARENESS EDUCATION PLAN

Guiding Principles to reduce pesticide use in the regional district; to continue with education for several years before any consideration of regulatory bylaw implementation; that the education program be based on the well-supported framework of integrated pest management (IPM) - there are new federal and provincial support initiatives in this area; A non-confrontational approach - coordinate work with BC Nurseries and Landscapers Assoc. as well as the more general public outreach program. Strategies 1.Provide scientifically sound education on risk of pesticides to non-target species (ex. humans). 2.Promote "designing-out" pests with landscape and plant choices which minimize pest problems. 3: Provide education regarding identification and habits of the pests and the damage they cause before taking action.

4.Promote non-poisonous control methods as a first line of attack. 5.Promote the IPM approach that if a pesticide is required, use the least toxic product, as specific to the identified pest as possible, and to apply only where pests are actually present (ex.Unless a lawn is totally infested with broadleaf weeds, spot spraying followed by stimulation of grass growth would accomplish the same end result as broadcasting a weed killer over the entire lawn, witha lot lesspesticide). 6.Make alliances with nurseries, landscapers and lawn-care companiesas well as publicgreenspacemanagers(SD,RDCS, Municipalities)toencourage understanding and cooperation before the broader education program is started. 7.Provide information in the form of handouts and information sessions to garden centre staff.This need was made apparent when the compost education program visited these sites, and learned from staff that they lacked broader knowledge in this issue. 8.Demonstrate appropriate garden/yard design which includes soilhealth,plant choices, as well as non-chemical control methods, at the compost education sites, with corresponding signage to allow self guided tours of the site. 9.Provide pesticide reduction information sessions for the general public, to be held in conjunction with compost education and recycling events. 10. Accumulate and disseminate scientifically correct handouts that reflect the above points. E

4)53 029 Budget Items for Direct Program Delivery

Task Cost $

File: 1700.20 BDGT TO: Administrator FROM: Airport Manager / Information Services Manager DATE: October 22, 2003 SUBJECT: Financial Plan Amendment

Recommendation: That the airport 2003 financial plan be amended by adding $9,000 for the purchase of a Satellite internet infrastructure with funds provided by the airport surplus account.

Council Policy: Council approves the financial plan.

Summary: Attached is a technical report from Information services outlining the need to increase connectivity speed to the airport. A recent change in policy from Imperial Oil has made this issue a priority as we will now be required to process all assigned fuel sales via the internet. A trial of the system using our existing dial up connection required approximately 20-30 minutes per transaction and with the satellite system the time E is reduced to approximately 5 minutes. Imperial Oil is currently working at adjusting our pricing formula to offset the capital cost of the initial purchase. In addition to the airport needs we have been approached by several interested tenants to increase there connectivity speed, we expect to be able to provide satellite service to these tenants at a monthly cost recovery basis.

Conclusion: Imperial Oil has committed to adjust airport pricing to mitigate the capital costs. Our maintenance staff is multitasked with many responsibilities throughout the day, during the summer we can expect a minimum of 4 transactions per day (up to 2 hours on internet) by installin"atellite system we can efficiently carry out all other duties as required.

File: Airport satellite access TO: Tyler Massee, Airport Manager FROM: ColinTaberner, Information Services DATE: October 22, 2003 SUBJECT: AirportSatellite Access

In the recent past, I have been tasked with finding a resolution with regard to network connectivity speed between Campbell River Airport and the rest of the world. A number of different options have been investigated including point-to-point high-speed wireless, existing infrastructure (phone lines, cable) and satellite connections.

Taking into account a number of factors (speed, reliability, initial costs, monthly costs), I am convinced that satellite connectivity will serve all of our purposes.

Point to point high speed wireless Would provide extremely high speed comparable to a wired link Is very reliable but weather influences overall speed Initial costs are extremely high ($80,000) Monthly costs would be limited to maintenance and upkeep

Existing; infrastructure Existing phone system is incapable of providing high speed Cable system is not existing in the region of the airport nor is there any planned movement to make it available (from CRTV)

Satellite connections Would provide high speed comparable to DSL (high speed phone link) with some limitations Is very reliable but weather influences connectivity Initial costs are relatively low Monthly costs are dictated by the "package" that is purchased from a provider ($60.00 to $350.00)

Issues that have given rise to the need for higher speed connectivity are these:

The desire to tie the airport into the "main" computer network more closely to allow for greater efficiencies with regards to operations (file access, email, intranet, AS/400, HRIS) The desire to increase the speed at which the users access the internet to enable research and communication to the outside The desire to increase the speed at which the "kiosk" is connected to the internet to provide for timely transactions on the new Esso system.

0 With regardsto the Esso system, transactions over the existing phone line dial up access take upwards of twenty minutes per transaction with approximately four transactions occurring daily. With the satellite connectivity, this time would be reduced to approximately five minutes per transaction. Aside from the above benefits to the District of Campbell River, there is also the option to generate a certain amount of revenue by "selling" the service to the tenants that exist on the airport grounds. There has been interest shown by a number of tenants and, in fact, Helifor is investigating satellite connectivity on their own.If the district is able to connect and provide high speed access, a charge to interested tenants could be determined to offset some of the costs to the district.

Attached are the quotes provided by Jon Paulsen of Information Systems Group, a local satellite installer. The breakdown would be roughly $8500.00 initial costs to the district and $1000.00 for each connected "outer" tenant. As said the package price varies but figure on $350.00 per month.

Recommendation: That Bylaw No. 3021, Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3021, 2003 (Appendix B, Sec. 4.3 and 4.3.2 Text Amendment) be read a 1St and2ndtime and proceed to public hearing.

Council Policy: Official Community Plan

8.3 CAMPBELL RIVER ESTUARY/TYEE SPIT

The Campbell River Estuary is the most fragile, sensitive and biologically significant area in the District. It encompasses islands, marshes, eelgrass areas, mudflats and salmon holding pools. The Estuary is vital for the rearing of juvenile salmon and is a major migratory route for adult fish. The foreshore is highly productive, but also very slow to recover, if disrupted.

The specific objective for the Estuary is to continue its rehabilitation. The objective for the Tyee Spit is to transform it into a public recreational zone with limited commercial activity in support of recreational or float plane use.

8.3.1 Campbell River Estuary

8.3.1.1 The Campbell River Estuary Management Plan and its policies shall constitute part of the Official Community Plan.

Where the policies of the Official Community Plan and the Estuary Management Plan differ, the Official Community Plan will prevail.

8.3.1.2 All development of the land fronting on the Campbell River and the Estuary shall be subject to a Development Permit to protect the natural environment.

8.3.1.3 Applications for upland development and water lots shall be forwarded to the Campbell River Estuary Management Commission for review and comment.

8.3.1.4 A habitat restoration program will be adopted by the Management Commission. The Commission shall provide a yearly environmental report on the Estuary.

8.3.1.5 An Estuary Rehabilitation Trust Fund will be promoted with the purpose of restoring natural habitat areas.

P: (Applications - PlanninglOFFICIALCOMMUNITY PLAN - OCPIOCP-03-02 DP Guidelines EstuaryiReport to Council.doc 10/30/2003 073 Appendix B Consolidated Development Permit Area Guidelines

4.3.2 Estuaryand Abutting Lands

The shoreline, inner estuary island, and finger of land should be set-aside as conservation areas.

Plans shall include a 30-metre setback from the high water mark. Setback areas may be used for public walkways, edge rehabilitation, and viewpoints.

Dredging and/or filling will not be permitted unless associated with a project of long-term environmental benefit and accompanied by a detailed impact assessment.

Plans shall indicate how materials (i.e., wastes) will be handled to avoid any detrimental effect on the estuary.

Summary: The proposed Bylaw will replace the existing Council policy in the Official Community Plan (Appendix B Consolidated Development Permit Area Guidelines). The new development permit guidelines will strengthen the existing Greenway (Streamside Area) Development Permit Policies by addressing specific environmental concerns in the Estuary concerning the Upland and Inter-tidal area, as well as provide some `form and character' guidelines involving land-use in the `gateway' and surrounding area.

Background: The development permit guidelines are a result of two separate initiatives. The first initiative was a result of the recommendations from the Campbell River Estuary Management Plan, which called for the development of environmental guidelines to offset the negative environmental effects of development. Second, an internal planning services initiative revolved around creating form and character guidelines to help solve some of the land-use conflicts and create a `gateway' into north Campbell River. Combined, these guidelines provide a comprehensive package that helps landowners in the area understand what issues may impact their land. In this way, the environmental and the form and character guidelines have been combined in one Bylaw to better serve the public.

The Bylaw itself has gone through two complete circulations. Internal and external government and private agencies have reviewed it in order to ensure the best possible outcome in the formulation of this Bylaw. Many of the comments received were either "no objections" or `no objections subject to some minor changes'. These changes have been made and are included in the Bylaw.

The neighbourhood public meeting resulted in comments of "no objections" and "looks good" when asked directly if anyone had any objections to the Bylaw as presented. Many questions were raised, but the concerns underlying the questions alleviated when given explanation of the intent and function of the policies and the flexibility built into the process.

Discussion: The Campbell River Estuary Development Permit Guidelines have been in preparation for years. This Bylaw was created to act in favour of protecting and enhancing the estuary for fish and wildlife as well as taking the initial steps in creating a more definable entrance in the community. Further, these guidelines will help offset some of the land-use conflicts in the area and, in so doing, act on some of the concerns raised over the years from the area residents. These guidelines will provide the tools to help enhance the north Campbell River area and provide further evidence that Campbell River is willing to take a

Page 2

P: (Applications - P1anningOFF1CJALCOMM UNITY PLAN ff QCP-03-02 DP Guidelines EstuarylReport to Council.doc leadership role in protecting theenvironment. Specifically, the benefitsfor each guideline for each area are as follows: E i) Environmental- The guidelines will not remove theexisting Streamside Area Guidelines. In fact, these guidelines are intended to maintain and enhance the environment and are in addition to the Streamside Guidelines. These additional guidelines target the areas within the Estuary Guideline Area such as the Ùpland Area' and the rest of the Èstuary Area' influenced by tidal waters. The additional Ùpland' guidelines are most significant in regards to the storm water management, whereas the Èstuary Area' is focussed on maintaining and enhancing the environment in the inter- tidal area. ii) Land-use - The land-use guidelines are broken into two distinct areas. The first area is known as the `gateway'. The `gateway' is an area of land abutting the Highway 19 corridor that will aid in creating a theme for all new development in the `gateway' area. These themes will be reflective of Campbell River's pioneering, maritime, and First Nation's history. The second area are those land-uses outside the `gateway' that do not require the same aesthetic treatment, but are more concerned with form and function of each site. New development in this area will be designed in a way that manages the reduction of conflict between different land-uses. As a result, all the uses within the `gateway' area (multi-family, commercial and industrial) will have to conform to the new guidelines for form and character, whereas the same land-uses outside the `gateway' will conform to new form and function guidelines.

Conclusion: Planning Services fully supports the adoption of this Bylaw.

We have received an application for an Official Community Plan Amendment and would appreciate your comments. If we do not receive a written response by October 1, 2003 (3 weeks from mailing), we will assume your interests are unaffected.

PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS:

Date received: BUILDING STAFF I have no concerns. COMMENTS: Gerry Lichtenfeld Date received: Oct 2/03 Engineering Services offers the following suggestions/comments: ENGINEERING STAFF 4.3.2 (end of second paragraph) It would be appropriate to add a COMMENTS: sentence that recognizes the value of Riparian Areas as productive fish rearing habitat through temperature regulation Date received: Oct 1/03 and nutrient source. 4.3.2 (third paragraph) Clarity is required regarding the intended `active' recreation use to ensure that recreational activities do not result in undesirable impacts within the area. Policy: Definitions should be placed before the first paragraph starting with " Development Permits are required..." Definitions - Recreation Trail: as per previous comment above, `active' should be clearly defined to include what is not acceptable as this may be confused with `team sport' type activities. Also, there may be locations where hard surfaced trails are desirable - limiting all trails to gravel surface is too restrictive Definitions - Top of Bank: As defined in the Streamside Bylaw is measured from the "break or defined limit of the floodplain". While it is understood that no legislated floodplain exists for the Campbell River, consideration should be given to limiting development in areas that function as protective buffers during flood events. Exemptions - b) Tyee Spit: although no DP would be triggered, as an internal matter of course, any development of `Park' areas should be referred to the District Engineering Dept. (Environmental Coordinator) to ensure that riparian areas and E other natural features are protected during design and construction phases. Guidelines -Environmental (2): First sentence should read

Date received: Definitions ESTUARY MANAGEMENT The definitions now cover items, which we originally found unclear or 11 COMMISSION poorly worded. Peter points out that some of these new definitions not are COMMENTS: referred to in the bylaw so may be redundant, or use unfamiliar terms. Specifically: Ecological Greenway is not referenced and given that Greenway Date received: Oct 1/03 area already has a bylaw (streamside protection), using that term would make it clearer. Qualified Environmental professional is defined but not referred to (must be a lonely existence). Streamside Protection and Enhancement Areas are not referred to in the text, partially on the map. I believe Peter thought this could be better covered by Greenways definition below while I am concerned the definition grabs more control of the upland (adjacent vegetation exerting an "influence") and is unfair/impractical. Top of the bank is defined under the Greenways Bylaw #2985 and if the Streamside Protection areas on the map were called Greenways they would be covered by that bylaw, with is specific definition making the definition in this bylaw unnecessary if so referenced. The map also defines Discovery passage marine upland as part of the protected area, which, Peter points out, would mean the DCR would have a DP for the entire waterfront.

Environmental Point #3 causes some confusion as to what "specified" natural features are. Shannon's impression they were those natural features within the estuary area of the map while I would simply like to know what "natural" features are, particularly if one is to "preserve, protect, restore or enhance" them.

Bylaw No. 3021, 2003 (Appendix B, Sec. 4.3 and 4.3.2 Text Amendment)

The Planner and Planning Services Manager provided a presentation of the background and overview of the intent of the Bylaw and how it is split between environment and land-use guidelines within the estuary area.

Most questions involved issues not directly related to the new Bylaw, but rather to issues regarding Zoning and Official Community Plan conflicts on their property and the floodplain. Each o these questions were answered to the satisfaction of the inquirer.

Some discussion more pointed to the subject Bylaw required some additional site specific descriptions of how the fifty (50) metre development permit trigger along the highway would effect their development. In both cases it was explained that single-family residential was exempt from the development permit process and that the fifty (50) metre zone on either side of the highway was not a setback, but would `trigger' mechanism to help guide more intense development in the estuary area.

A BYLAW OF THE DISTRICT OF CAMPBELL RIVER TO AMEND THE CAMPBELL RIVER OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN.

WHEREAS pursuant to Part 26, Division 2 of the Local Government Act in relation to Official Community Plans, the Council of the District of Campbell River is empowered to establish objectives and policies to guide decisions on planning and land use management; AND WHEREAS a Public Hearing was held in accordance with the Local Government Act and notice of such Hearing has been given as required; NOW THEREFORE the Council of the District of Campbell River, in open meeting assembled, enacts as follows:

1. This Bylaw may be cited for all purposes as "Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3021, 2003 (Appendix B, Sec. 4.3 and 4.3.2 Text Amendment)". 2.That "Appendix B: Consolidated Development Permit Area guidelines" in "Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2555, 1996" be amended by: (i) Revising Section 4.3 Campbell River Estuary & Tyee Spit, by deleting the paragraph included under the headingPolicy,and replacing it with the following" Policy: Pursuant to Section 919.1 of the Local Government Act, all property in the Inner Estuary Area and adjacent lands including the Tyee Spit, as identified on Map B-1: Campbell Rive Estuary Development Permit Area, shall be designated a Development Permit Area. (ii) Deleting Sub-Section 4.3.2 - Estuary and Abutting Lands, and replacing it as follows, including the attached Map B-l: Campbell River Estuary Development Permit Area:

4.3.2 Campbell River Estuary and Abutting Lands

The Campbell River Estuary Development Permit Area straddles Highway 19 on the northern extent of Campbell River's Downtown and is adjacent to the confluence of the River. This key location provides the opportunity to protect the fragile environment of the estuary, and assist with the creation of a `gateway' to Campbell River from the north via Highway 19. Planning for the potential development and redevelopment of multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial sites in the area is important to ensure efficient use of this land, ensure the least impact possible to the natural environment, and seek to redevelop this area as a gateway to Campbell River.

Increasing environmental awareness and declining fish stocks in the Strait of Georgia have led to the realization that the protection and improvement of the Campbell River Estuary environment and adjacent lands is necessary. The estuary and its adjacent lands provide essential habitat corridors for fish, birds, and other wildlife. They also act as natural water storage, drainage, and purifying systems. Riparian areas need to remain in a largely undisturbed state in order to protect habitat, prevent flooding, control erosion, reduce sedimentation, and recharge groundwater.

It is a long-term goal for the estuary to consist of a mix of rehabilitated, re-vegetated natural upland, streamside and estuary area to support improved fish and wildlife habitat. This area is intended to support park areas for active and passive forms of low impact recreation. 83 Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3021, 2003 Page 2 of 7

Furthermore, these guidelines provide assurances that multi-family residential, commercial and industrial uses in upland areas are developed in a manner that is compatible with the restoration goals and improved ecological health of the estuary as outlined in the Campbell River Estuary Management Plan, 2002.

Policy: Development permits are required for all forms of development occurring within the Estuary Development Permit Area as identified in Map B-1: Campbell River Estuary Development Permit Area, except those described under Exemptions below.

The following definitions are intended to assist with the interpretation of these policies and guidelines.

Ecological Greenway: The setback area as per Appendix B: Section 4.4 Greenway (Streamside Area) Development Permit Policies.

Estuary Area: All waters in the estuary area up to the top of bank, excluding those waters in the upland area.

File: 5400-65LIP, 0110 - 20 SKOG TO: Administrator FROM: Engineering Services Manager DATE: October 22, 2003 SUBJECT:LocalImprovement Project Bylaw Amendments

Recommendation:

1.That Council amend Bylaw ##2964 - Evergreen/Birch (Dogwood to Birch, Evergreen to Bathurst and Pinecrest to Merecroft) from $645,000 to $780,000. 2.That Council amend Bylaw #2966 - 5th Ave (Dogwood St. to Highway 19A) from $645,000 to $815,000. 3.That Council amend Bylaw #2967 - Marina/Leeward (Robron Rd. to Alder St.) from $785,000 to $1,310,000. 4.That Council amend Bylaw #2968 - Petersen Road (Cheviot Rd. to 14th Ave.) from $625,000 to $2,400,000.

Background: E The following local improvement projects have been approved by Council to allow for a 4-5 year program within a $1 million/year target budget:

Bylaw #2964 - Evergreen/Birch (Dogwood to Birch, Evergreen to Bathurst & Pinecrest to Merecroft) with a total budget of $645,000. Bylaw #2966 - 5th Ave (Dogwood to Highway 19A) with a total budget of $645,000. Bylaw #2967 - Marina/Leeward (Robron to Alder) with a total budget of $785,000. Bylaw #2968 - Petersen Road (Cheviot to 14th) with a total budget of $625,000.

In accordance with the Local Government Act, construction of a Local Improvement Project must be completed within 5 years of the Bylaw being adopted. Failure to complete construction within this time period would necessitate a new Bylaw. For these projects to proceed under their current Bylaws, construction would have to be completed by October 2007.

Discussion: As Council will recall, the amounts approved for borrowing in the original bylaws listed above were taken from the District's most recent Long Range Road Construction Plan which was last updated in 1997. Averaged unit costs were used when the Plan was prepared.

093 N31w, F:\DATA\Reports 2003\P.Skognes\Local Improvement Project Bylaw Amendments 10-03.doc Administrator Page 2 October 21, 2003

Council approval of the bylaws allowed staff to initiate and complete detailed surveys and engineering studies for the projects. This work identified specific issues required to address a wide range of issues. New estimates specific to each project were then prepared utilizing current construction unit costs.

It is staff's intention to submit a 5 year schedule of Local Improvement Projects upon receipt of all the approvals and recommendations on timing from the traffic consultant who is currently preparing the District's Master Transportation Plan for Area Roads. CONCLUSION: Amendments to the borrowing amounts on the existing bylaws are required if the identified projects are to proceed.

Re: Cruise BC Workshop

Dear Doug,

On behalf of the partners of the Cruise BC Initiative, I would like to thank you very much for your support at the recent workshop held in Campbell River to discuss the potential of the cruise industry in British Columbia.

As you may be aware, all sponsors names were displayed on signage that was placed in the foyer of Painter's Lodge as well as on tent cards that were placed on each table. Names were also listed on the Cruise BC Agenda and Attendee List and I have enclosed copies for your records. Cruise BC representative, Mr. Bob Duncan, paid special recognition to each of the sponsors at the evening reception, again after breakfast the following day as well as during wrap-up remarks.

The entire session was very well attended and I believe we made great progress on developing the Cruise BC Initiative further. We will keep you up to date on progress with the initiative.

Thank you again for your assistance in making this a very worthwhile event.

Best regards,

the Mayor Dear Mayor Nash and Council: l7i ic. (i .ni)bell River

Thank you very much for proclaiming December as Christmas Seals Month in Campbell River. The BC Lung Association truly appreciates your support of the vital Christmas Seals Campaign.

By bringing awareness of our cause to the people in your community, you are aiding the BC Lung Association in its endeavors in the fight against the entire scope of respiratory disease, including lung cancer, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Every year the BC Lung Association allocates $1.2 million towards health education programs, and over $1.5 million towards medical research grants and professional training in British Columbia. A large portion of these funds is obtained through the generosity of donors during the Christmas Seals season.

The District of Campbell River has already helped a great deal by proclaiming December as Christmas Seals Month. Your local BC Lung Association volunteer directors, Kevin Gerow and Dorothy Marcin, may be in contact with you to arrange some potential media activities for further promotion of the Christmas Seals Campaign.

Kindest regards,

Scott McDonald, Executive Director cc: Kevin Gerow; Dorothy Marcin

2003-hydro-resolution-c ouncils... ------Attention City Clerks and Administrators: Please pass this on to the Mayor and Council for your city, town or district.Thank you.

Dear Mayors, Councillors District and Area Representatives:

My name is Lesley Moore and I am writing to you from B.C. Citizens for Public Power (BCCPP), a non-profit society that is committed to keeping BC Hydro and our electricity system in public hands. BCCPP represents a large cross-section of British Columbians (including more than 60,000 from around the province and across the political spectrum who have supported onto our class action lawsuit against the Provincial Government's efforts to privatize B.C. Hydro). I would like to personally thank all municipal and district representatives who attended this year's Union of B.C. Municipalities Convention (UBCM) and supported a resolution asking that the B.C. Government:

1) abandon all plans to join RTO West (the U.S. consortium being put in place to take control of the transmission system throughout Western North America); and 2)return the transmission function of our electricity system back to B.C. Hydro.

We are very pleased that this resolution was passed by the majority of delegates who voted at the UBCM. While citizens and local governments have done much to show their support for B.C. Hydro and a public electricity system, there is much more yet to do if we are to save this prized public asset from being completely dismantled. Under the Provincial Government's Energy Plan, all new supplies of needed electricity will be developed exclusively by the private sector-a responsibility that B.C. Hydro exercised for many years and which earned the Crown corporation an international reputation for excellence. While the private sector currently does, and should, have a role in generating power, B.C. Hydra should not be prevented from using its expertise developed over 40 years to continue to provide low cost, clean power to all British Columbians. In our view, the best economic and environmental results come from blending the innovation of the private sector with the stability and seasoned expertise of the public sector. The Provincial Government's ideological decision to privatize all future energy development in the province is simply a bad idea which has proven to be disastrous everywhere it has been tried, including Alberta, Ontario, and California. Because electricity is, in many ways, the lifeblood of a modern society, we believe that the issues around the future of B.C. Hydro and our electricity system are tremendously important. That's why we are asking councils across B.C. to consider bringing a resolution to their next council meeting, so that these issues receive the attention they deserve at the local level. The attached resolution is similar to the one passed at the 2003 UBCM Convention, although it is somewhat different as it includes a section calling on the B.C. Government to rescind the 0 decision to prohibit B.C. Hydro from ever again developing new sources of power. 11.4 Along with the resolution, we have attached a reply form, which we hope you can make use of to let us know the outcome of your meeting. If you have any questions, or if I can be of assistance to you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely,

Lesley Moore

1. Calls upon the Provincial Government to rescind its decision to prohibit BC Hydro from ever again developing new supplies of power.

3.

Lynn D. Nash RECEIVED Mayor 301 St Ann's Road O C T 2 4 2003 CampbellRiver, BC V9W 4C7 Office of theMayor Dis'ric.! of ;'1!rpbell River Dear Mr. Nash,

Thank you for your recent letter concerning the impact of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) incident in Alberta.

On August 8, 2003 Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman announced that after a thorough scientific analysis, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) had partially lifted the ban on a range of ruminant derived products from Canada covering a significant proportion of normal ruminant meat and product exports to the United States. Since August 8, the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has issued over 300 permits for ruminant meat/meat products exported from Canada to the United States, and Canadian exports of beef have now returned close to normal levels. Entry of live cattle from Canada into the United States is not currently permitted due to the BSE incident in Alberta. However, please be assured that we are committed to resolving this situation as soon as possible. Our foremost concern is to ensure the safety of the U.S. beef supply and maintain the trust of consumers. Imports of live cattle from Canada require a change in U.S. Government regulations, and USDA has undertaken this process on an expedited basis. We anticipate that imports of certain cattle, namely those under 30 months of age, will be permitted within the next few months once the regulatory process is completed.

Thank you again for sharing your concerns.

Sincerely,

Gary C. Groves Agricultural Minister-Counselor

His Excellency Ambassador Paul Celluci, U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Embassy of the United States of America, 490 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario. K1 N 1 G8

Dear Ambassador Celluci:

The District of Campbell River would like to solicit your support in addressing the closure of the United States' border to Canadian beef products.

Canada has been virtually free of BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), other than the single case confirmed in May 2003, however the United States has closed its border, along with Japan, South Korea and Mexico, to Canadian beef.It is widely maintained that the detection of this single animal was only as a result of Canada's superior tracking and detection system, and there is no scientific evidence to support the continued trade closure. Canada's food supply remains one of the safest in the world.

Canada's beef producers are in serious economic trouble - a position they may never recover from. The Canadian beef industry is an integral portion of the Canadian economy.

We thank you for your urgent attention to our request to reopen the United States border to Canadian beef products.

Yours truly,

Mr. Lynn D. Nash, MAYOR.
