THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF NELSON REQUEST FOR DECISION
DATE: June 10, 2013 Regular TOPIC: Development Permit – Roof Top Sign at 115 Hall Street PROPOSAL: A sign permit for a roof top sign was applied for at 115 Hall Street. (Roof top signs are not permitted under the Sign Bylaw No. 2027 and an exemption is required from Council) PROPOSED BY: Staff ______ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Kootenai Moon Furniture Inc. has applied for a roof top sign at 115 Hall Street. Roof top signs are explicitly not permitted by the Sign Bylaw No. 2027. Exemptions from the Sign Bylaw may be granted by a majority decision of Council.
BACKGROUND: There is precedence for roof top signs within the Downtown. To the best of staff’s knowledge roof top signs were approved for Cowan’s (517 Victoria St.) and the Academy of Classical Oriental Science (303 Vernon St.) since the Sign Bylaw No. 2027 has been in place. Historically, the Hume Hotel roof top sign continues to exist and predates the Sign Bylaw adopted in 1983.
The application has been reviewed by staff in Development Services and Sustainability. A Building Permit is required for the roof top sign. While it would be preferable for the sign to be affixed to the building face, the business owner is requesting an exemption as she believes visibility will be increased with the sign that she is proposing. The proposed sign is on a lower portion of the roof that serves as a canopy, and the sign has been designed so that it will not extend above the main parapet of the roof.
BENEFITS OR DISADVANTAGES AND NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approval of this roof top sign will continue to set precedence in the Downtown.
LEGISLATIVE IMPACTS, PRECEDENTS, POLICIES: The Sign Bylaw No. 2027 controls the size, shape, type and location of signs within the City. All new signs within the Downtown core require a Development Permit for Signage. The Sign Bylaw was written in 1983, and has been identified as requiring a complete update.
COSTS AND BUDGET IMPACT - REVENUE GENERATION: Costs associated with the review and processing of Development Permits and Building Permits are subject to application fees that are intended to cover the costs of processing the permits.
IMPACT ON SUSTAINABILITY OBJECTIVES AND STAFF RESOURCES: The Hall Street corridor is one of the key connections to link the downtown and the waterfront. Efforts are underway to develop a plan to strengthen the connection along the Hall Street corridor.
COMMUNICATION: Council’s decision will be communicated to the applicant.
OPTIONS AND ALTERNATIVES: 1. Deny the request for exemption. 2. Refer the matter to staff.
ATTACHMENTS: • Development Permit for Signage application • Sign Bylaw excerpt
RECOMMENDATION: That Council passes the following resolution/s: 1. That Council authorize an exemption to the Sign Bylaw No. 2027 and that staff be directed to issue a Development Permit for a roof top sign for 115 Hall Street as submitted.

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF NELSON REQUEST FOR DECISION
DATE: June 10, 2013 Regular TOPIC: Renewal – Development Permit and Development Variance Permit – 601 Latimer Street PROPOSAL: To Construct a Four-Plex PROPOSED BY: Staff ______ANALYSIS SUMMARY: The proponent is seeking a renewal of a Major Development Permit to construct a four- plex, which includes variances to the parking requirement, the front and exterior setbacks and the lot coverage. The property is currently vacant. The Development Permit with variances was considered and approved by Council on May 9, 2011. No changes from the application approved by the City of Nelson in 2011 are requested or proposed by the proponent. The following variances are required to facilitate the development: • vary the parking requirement from 6 stalls below ground to 6 stalls above ground; • relax the lot coverage requirement from 45% to 48%; • relax the front setback (from Latimer St.) from 4.5m to 3.0m; and • relax the exterior side setback (from Josephine St.) from 4.5m to 3.0m. A staff memo is attached.
BACKGROUND: The subject property consists of two vacant lots at the corner of Latimer Street and Josephine Street. The applicant is seeking approval to construct a four-plex with parking accessed from the lane.
BENEFITS OR DISADVANTAGES AND NEGATIVE IMPACTS: If approved, the variances will enable the owner to move forward with their plans and provide four additional dwelling units to the existing residential housing stock. No negative impacts are expected if the variances are approved.
LEGISLATIVE IMPACTS, PRECEDENTS, POLICIES: Variances are required for any construction that varies the provisions of the Land Use Regulation Bylaw No. 2243. Council must approve all development variance permits. The neighbours within a 60 meter radius have been notified of Council’s intention to review this application. Section 922(6) of the Local Government Act states that notice must be mailed or otherwise delivered at least 10 days before adoption of the resolution.
COSTS AND BUDGET IMPACT - REVENUE GENERATION: Revenue is received through building permit fees. Property improvements increase property assessments, and thus taxes.
IMPACT ON SUSTAINABILITY OBJECTIVES AND STAFF RESOURCES: There are no perceived negative impacts on Sustainability Objectives within the Path to 2040 documents. The increase to the mix of housing options is a priority objective of the Affordable Housing Strategy and this development will likely serve moderate income households seeking homeownership, a group identified as facing housing challenges.
Multi-unit housing and infill developments support the principle of Healthy Neighbourhoods identified in the Path to 2040 Sustainability Strategy.
COMMUNICATION: The neighbours within a 60 m radius of the subject property were notified of the request for a variance and have been invited to make comment on the proposed application. At the time of writing this report, no written comments have been received.
OPTIONS AND ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the application 2. Deny the application 3. Refer the matter to staff
ATTACHMENTS: • Staff Memo
RECOMMENDATION: That Council passes the following resolution: 1. That the application for a Development Variance Permit to vary the requirements of Land Use Regulation Bylaw No. 2243, 1987 to allow for the construction of four-plex multi unit residential building BE APPROVED for Lot 23 & 24, Block 41, District Lot 95, Kootenay District Plan 9500 (601 Latimer Street) as follows:
Bylaw No. 2243, Sections 2.4.5(2)(b); 2.4.7(2); 2.4.9(1)(a)(i); 2.4.9(1)(c)(i). To vary the underground parking requirement by replacing it with on-site parking; to relax the lot coverage from 45% to 48%; to relax the front setback from 4.5 meters to 3.0 meters; and to relax the exterior side setback from 4.5 meters to 3.0 meters.

Application No: 1302008
THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF NELSON MEMORANDUM TO: Dave Wahn FROM: Daphne Powell DATE: June 3, 2013 RENEWAL: Development Permit & Development Variance Permit SUBJECT: Application: 0868556 BC Ltd. 601 Latimer Street The owner has applied to renew a Development Permit and Development Variance Permit. The application includes variances to relax requirements of the City of Nelson Land Use Regulation Bylaw No. 2243, 1987 as follows: Applicant Wilfred Schmidt Property Lots 23 & 24, Block 41, District lot 95, Plan 9500 - 601 Latimer Street section 2.4.5(2)(b); 2.4.7(2); 2.4.9(1)(a)(i); 2.4.9(1)(c)(i) To vary the underground parking requirement by replacing it with on-site Relaxation parking; to relax the lot coverage from 45% to 48%; to relax the front Requested setback from 4.5 m to 3.0 m; and to relax the exterior side setback from 4.5m to 3.0 m Purpose To allow construction of a four-plex residential building
Background: The proponent is seeking a renewal of a Major Development Permit to construct a four- plex, which includes variances to the parking requirement, the front and exterior setbacks and the lot coverage. The property is currently vacant. The Development Permit with variances was considered and approved by Council on May 9, 2011. No changes from the application approved by the City of Nelson in 2011 are requested or proposed by the proponent. Analysis: 1. Current zoning for the property is Core Apartment Residential Zone, R3. The property is designated Multi Unit Residential in the Official Community Plan 2. The property consists of two seperately title lots and is approximately 557 square metres in area. 3. Existing lot coverage is 0% and proposed lot coverage is 47.8 % (266 sq.m.). Maximum lot coverage permitted is 45% (250.6 sq.m.) 4. The applicant wishes to receive a building permit to construct a four-plex residential building. Lot consolidation will be a requirement of the Building Permit. 5. The following variances are required to facilitate the development: a. Vary the parking requirement from 6 stalls below ground to 6 stalls above ground; b. Relax the lot coverage requirement from 45% to 48%; c. Relax the front setback (from Latimer St.) from 4.5m to 3.0m; d. Relax the exterior side setback (from Josephine St.) from 4.5m to 3.0m. 6. Staff do not have concerns with the the variance requests. The variances are in line with some of the changes being considered as part of the Land Use Regulation Bylaw review. Staff are supportive of the overall design and layout of the proposed development, with the six required off-street parking stall accessed from the lane. The design of the building and landscaping will ensure the new construction fits in with the character of the surrounding neighbourhood. This form of development will provide more choice in the local market and is in a "very walkable" part of the City, with a "walk score" of 82. This type of development meets a priority objective of the City of Nelson Affordable Housing Strategy to support the development of a mix of housing options and will serve moderate income households seeking homeownership, one of the groups identified as facing the most significant housing challenges in Nelson. This type of housing is also in keeping with the Healthy Neighbourhoods Sustainability Principle identified in the Path to 2040 Sustainability Strategy. This renewal application was received prior to the adoption of the 2013 OCP, and therefore is considered under the previous Official Community Plan. The proposal is compatible with the 2008 and 2013 Official Community Plan which both designate this property as Multi Unit Residential. Excerpts from the 2008 Official Community Plan are attached. 5. In accordance with the Land Development Applications Procedures Bylaw No. 3243, 2012, property owners within 61 metres have been notified of this application. 6. The application was circulated to city staff in Public Works, Nelson Hydro, Building and Fire as well as to the Ministry of Transportation. No concerns were noted. 7. Photos of the site are attached. Recommendation: It is recommended that the application for a development permit and development variance permit to vary the requirements of Bylaw 2243 and allow construction of a four-plex residential building be APPROVED for Lots 23 & 24, Block 41, District lot 95, Plan 9500 - 601 Latimer Street as follows: section 2.4.5(2)(b); 2.4.7(2); 2.4.9(1)(a)(i); 2.4.9(1)(c)(i).
To vary the underground parking requirement by replacing it with on-site parking; to relax the lot coverage from 45% to 48%; to relax the front setback from 4.5 m to 3.0 m; and to relax the exterior side setback from 4.5m to 3.0 m

Attention : Daphne Powell
Re: Renewal of Development Permit Application. 601 Latimer Street, Nelson B.C.
Dear Ms. Powell,
Thank you for the opportunity to explain why, the development of 601 Latimer Street has not yet proceeded, and why this project is still a very good fit for the City Of Nelson.
History Of Project
A lot has changed since 2009 when we first purchased the property. We spent the first year analyzing the type of product that would best suit the Nelson marketplace. Taking into consideration, the cost of the land, the zoning and the current market demands it was decided that we would build a higher end triplex.
We entered into discussions with the city of Nelson planning department with our conceptual drawings. It was quickly established that parking with the original design gave the city some concerns and suggestions were made. These suggestions were essentially a redraw of the blueprints. We regrouped, came up with another plan, finessing the parking situation and again met with the city. The biggest issue was still the parking. Our design had drive under garages for each unit that involved driveways entering onto Josephine Street. The city wanted all the parking in the rear. We objected to this as there were other driveway examples all over Josephine Street and in other places in Nelson. This was not an exception but we were not getting anywhere with the city.
That was another major setback. Our vision included a heavily landscaped property including the rear yard. Also the unit that would overlook the rear yard was by far the best unit by location. It offers extensive views of the lake from two sides of the home. One could argue that the views are still there but the view perception was greatly diminished not to mention the loss of privacy in the back yard.
At that point we were going to scrap the project. This was proving far too difficult. A lot of time had passed and a lot of time, effort and money had been expensed. The economy was not improving and real estate sales in Nelson were beginning to decline.
It's hard to hit a moving target. Our many redraws as per suggestions was a huge departure from our original vision. The market was also changing and affordable became the buzz word around town. Also around this time, the 8 plex boys were on the scene offering a really good product for what we perceived to be as affordable as it's going to get. These boys offered a great product at a great price and their sales were strong and fast but their larger units took more time to sell.
That being said it would have been hard to compete since our land was far more expensive. Our price per door made direct competition difficult. However after much deliberation we thought that if we could get an additional unit from the land, the project could still be viable. This, or course involved another redraw, a lot more time, a Major Development Permit and variance approvals. Ultimately the project was approved.
As mentioned before, it's hard to hit a moving target. We spent over a year in discussions with the City Of Nelson before were thought we had a chance at getting something approved. We went round and round on this matter and came a long way from our original vision. During that time, and the time since, the world has gone to hell in a hand basket several times.
I am a veteran builder and have been self employed for over thirty years. I have won several awards ranging from Customer Service to Architectural Design Awards. This is the third, major recession we have survived and thrived. Before retiring from the city and moving back to the Kootenays I dodged every economic bullet and managed to carry on. I saw most of my competitors over the years disappear, but we endured. 35 years in the business gives you some survival instincts.
The timing is simply not right. In this business, you design a product for what you believe will sell in a few months or a year. Anything beyond that is a crap shoot. It took over a year to have this project approved to its present state. A lot changed in that time frame and a lot has changed since. This is a beautiful project that will go ahead at some time, but now would be business suicide. Timing is everything in this business and the timing was not right over the last two years. I wish I could boldly forge ahead with confidence that there will be buyers at completion. Sales of the 8 plex units are waning and they feel their market is getting saturated. The general real estate market is cool to warm. Nothing is selling easily, quick or for full price. Other projects, such as converted churches have been on the market now for years. All these factors play a role in deciding when the time is right and all indications are that the timing will be right in the next two years. To that end I would respectfully request that you extend our current approved development permit for an additional two years.
Community and Neighborhood Benefits and Impacts
It is always difficult to measure the benefits and impacts of any development as opinions will vary wildly from individual to individual. If you are involved in any aspect of the construction ranging from land purchase to the guy that cuts the occupancy keys you have the opportunity to benefit.. This is a big, positive, immediate impact to those involved in the process of building. These individuals will benefit through the financial and personal growth they gain from their involvement and experiences in the project.
Many residents have already benefitted by virtue of this application alone. A great deal of time, energy and money have been expensed to get to this point and we didn't do it alone. A lot of people have benefited to date and the vast majority of Nelson will in some way, eventually, also benefit.
We were pleased to hear that there was very little public objection to this project with the first application. It is our understanding that only one person wrote a letter and their concerns were the lack of street parking. Their concerns should have been alleviated when we were forced to put all parking at the rear.
The proposed development is a first class project, heavily detailed with architectural features found in many heritage homes. This project is a huge benefit to the neighbours over the vacant lot that sits there today. It completes the street and the neighborhood. We have extensive landscaping plans for this quaint little project which will be far better than the dirt pile it is now. Something will eventually have to be built there, but will it be as pretty as this one. This project respects and blends with the existing streetscape and will be a compliment to the City Of Nelson.
Benefit to the City Of Nelson
This is a good project and it address the needs of the community. We have gone to great lengths with designs, redesigns, blueprints, renderings and have worked diligently with the city to get this approved. The project fits the City Of Nelson, the existing residents and the needs of future residents. I can't see any down side for the city to extend the Development Permit for another two years. It's a project that's needed on an empty lot. There was no negative public outcry. It was solely designed with the Official Community Plan and objectives in mind and it scored really high on your criteria evaluations . It's a great project that deserves another chance. We all need shovel ready projects so that when the timing is right we can go, hard, without undue hindrance and delays.
Yours Truly,
Wilfred H. Schmidt President

Without longer-term supported housing, many experience difficulties with landlords or neighbours.
In 2010, these households appear to have the least choice in Nelson’s housing market where housing with supports is limited to a small number of units at Ward St. Place and a small number of clients supported through BC Housing’s Homeless Outreach Program (with rent supplements and general outreach support).
Among this group, households have varying levels of support needs. Some may be ready to live independently, with only a limited level of housing support, while others may need access to ongoing and regular care and services. This could involve congregate non-market housing that has dedicated staff or it may be more appropriate and more cost effective to have scattered units available through private sector housing where households are supported with a rent supplement program and access to support services via an outreach or mobile support team. Housing with support services is needed in areas of the city that are within easy access to transit, shops and services.
Group #2 - Low and Moderate Income Renters It has been a landlords’ market in Nelson in recent years. With practically no new rentals and very low vacancy rates, many renters are reported to be spending over 50% of their gross income on housing (on rents plus utilities). At the lower end of the market, the quality and safety of the stock is reported to be varied, and some units are known to be in unhealthy and unsafe condition. Single persons and lower income households often have little choice but to rent units that are inadequate or are in substandard conditions.
Group #3 - Moderate Income Households Seeking Homeownership Affordable Housing Nelson’s housing is made up predominantly of detached houses on large lots. Strategy Homeownership of this housing form — ground oriented housing with a yard — is becoming increasingly inaccessible for local, first-time buyers. A diversity of housing options is needed to ensure moderate income households who are interested in homeownership have the opportunity to step up the housing ladder. Prepared for the Group #4 - Elderly Seniors with Support Service Needs City of Nelson Nelson is home to a number of market and non-market housing options for seniors. Yet, a disconnect exists between seniors needs and preferences and the available options. Lower income seniors who are elderly, or have additional care needs, have indicated the affordable housing options that are available are no longer adequate or appropriate July 2010 and the private market options, including the market-priced units in the recently opened Lake View Village, are too costly.1 There have also been changes in the tenant
1 Lake View Village has a total of 90 market-priced suites (studios and one-bedrooms) plus13 subsidized studios available to lower income households on a rent geared to income basis.
Page 3 Priority Objectives Actions In view of the broad focus and multiple directions of the Strategy, a multi-pronged approach is needed. No one program or policy direction can satisfy the range of affordable housing interests and priorities in Nelson. The actions that follow respond directly to the priority objectives of the Affordable Housing Strategy. The following table summarizes the strategies and tasks that relate to each objective.

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF NELSON REQUEST FOR DECISION DATE: June 10, 2013 Regular TOPIC: Municipal Partnership Agreement with Sandpoint, ID PROPOSAL: Draft Agreement for review and approval by Council PROPOSED BY: Staff ______ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Since October 2011 the City of Nelson and Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce and WhiteWater Ski Resort have been working together to build meaningful relations with the City of Sandpoint; the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce and Schweitzer Mountain Resort in Idaho, USA. The City of Nelson now wishes to formalize this relationship and in accordance with Council policy, a formal Municipal Partnership Agreement has been prepared for Council to ratify.
BACKGROUND In 2011 Council created a municipal partnership policy to guide requests for sister city, twinning or any other linkage relationships proposed to Council. The guidelines are a means to assess whether proposed partnerships are a suitable fit for the City. The policy allows a mix of partnerships in various regions – one in Canada (or USA), one with a developing country and one with a developed country. The City currently has a long standing sister city relationship with Izushi, Japan and entered into a Municipal Partnership Agreement with the District of Kaoma, Zambia in 2012.
Formalizing the relationship with Sandpoint is an exciting development given that developing international relationships is complex with outside agencies involved. The brief background leading up to this agreement is as follows: • Anne Pigeon General Manager of Whitewater Ski Resort approached Councillor Kozak early in 2011 to present the idea of building a relationship with Sandpoint in Idaho, USA. • Shortly thereafter Councillor Kozak presented the proposal to City Council and the Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce. • Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce staff travelled with City of Sandpoint officials and business folk to Nelson in October 2011 to meet and begin the process of establishing a more formal partnership, • Nelson and Area Economic Development Partnership reps, Councillor Kozak, Paul Wiest with Community Futures and Tom Thomson Executive Director of the Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce travelled to Sandpoint on November 7 - 8, 2012 to meet with the Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce, business owners and City of Sandpoint officials and staff to discuss common interests and further formalize the understanding between the two communities. • In spring 2013 a draft municipal partnership agreement was created and following careful review by all parties is now ready to be ratified. A delegation from Sandpoint plan to attend the June 24th Committee of the Whole to formally sign the agreement. This municipal partnership is made possible largely because of the strength of the agencies involved being the Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce; Whitewater Ski Resort, the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce and Schweitzer Mountain Resort in Sandpoint ID.
BENEFITS OR DISADVANTAGES AND NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The City of Nelson has historically shown commitment in maintaining both national and international relationships. Partnerships over past decades have deepened friendships, goodwill and mutual understanding through educational, cultural and economic exchanges.
LEGISLATIVE IMPACTS, PRECEDENTS, POLICIES: There is no current legislation applicable to municipal partnerships although the Province of British Columbia and UBCM have identified international twinning as one means of promoting economic development in British Columbia.
COSTS AND BUDGET IMPACT - REVENUE GENERATION: Council is required to assess each individual partnership proposal to ensure the related costs can be met within the total budget set by council during the City’s annual financial planning and budget review.
IMPACT ON SUSTAINABILITY OBJECTIVES AND STAFF RESOURCES: Given the caliber of the participating agencies, it is not anticipated that the agreement will significantly impact staff resources. Council is to give preference to establishing partnership which align with the City’s’ strategic objectives and sustainability planning.
COMMUNICATION: A delegation from Sandpoint are scheduled to visit Council at the Committee of the Whole meeting on June 24th to officially sign this agreement
OPTIONS AND ALTERNATIVES: 1. Receive the report for information 2. Approve the Municipal Partnership Agreement and authorize Mayor Dooley to sign it 3. Refer back to staff with direction
ATTACHMENTS: - Municipal Partnership Agreement document - Municipal Agreement Council Policy 0230.00.005 and related administrative Procedure
RECOMMENDATION: That Council passes the following resolution:

3) a. Festival of Lights Update Joy explained how the Festival of Lights project began, how it has been funded to date, the success of ‘Elf Walk’ and the business partners involved.

terms plans for Elf Walk were discussed and Joy offered to raise the ‘Festival of Lights’ name at the next ‘Festival of Lights’ Committee Meeting.

ACTION: Joanne to contact NAEDP (Tom Thomson) and Stephanie to contact Corrine to follow up on appointments
c. Signature Event A lengthy and lively discussion took place about potentially creating a Signature Event for Nelson. Joy advised that discussions with Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism, Nelson’s DMO (Destination Marketing Organization), confirm the economic benefits in developing an event/s during off and/or shoulder seasons to attract visitors to Nelson during “dead” periods of the year. The need for long term planning for an event of this nature and issues impacting an event like this (e.g.: weather, economy) were discussed. Stephanie noted the importance of establishing an inventory of the events Nelson already offers. Martin urged that event criteria be identified and developed with the public’s input before any specific event planning gets underway. Councillor Batycki encouraged alignment with the City’s goals and objectives wherever possible. Further discussion included: - Arts vs. Tourism sectors (e.g.: shoulder seasons don’t affect the Arts) - CDC’s role in event planning - Event challenges experienced in the past - Support of locals is essential to success - Ways to collaborate with ongoing Downtown Waterfront Master Planning which also includes event programming to build vitality in Nelson’s downtown - Approaches used by other centres in the region (e.g. Revelstoke) - City of Nelson support required (can’t depend on volunteers only) - Film festival and digital media potentials - This is an item in CDC’s 3-year Action Plan but no budget monies have been allocated - Insurance / liability and Alcohol in Public Places policy considerations for the City apply
The need for a Signature Event Sub Committee was agreed and David Dobie, John Paolozzi, Stephanie Fischer, Martin Oets, Joy Barratt and Morty Mint volunteered to meet separately a few times to gather information and
Minutes of CDC meeting held on April 10, 2013 Page 2 of 3
determine the parameters of the CDC’s role in coordinating a Signature Event for Nelson. The information gathered will be reported at a CDC meeting when it has been reviewed and compiled.
d. City of Nelson Branding Councillor Batycki explained that the ‘Branding’ referred to applies to Nelson’s downtown core and not the whole City. She highlighted the City’s Downtown Waterfront Master Plan Working Groups and gave an update on progress being made. The CDC has representatives on both working groups (Hall St / Baker Street Corridor and Railtown/Cottonwood) and participates in an advisory capacity. Discussion ensued about successful design models of the ‘Downtown Plaza’ concept. David noted the highly successful Times Square story. Stephanie noted the possibility of testing the ‘Downtown Plaza’ concept on one block of the downtown during the summer.
ACTION: Laureen to bring this forward to the NBA and to report at the May 1st meeting.
4. CDO Report Joy provided an update on the banners and hydro utility box photographs were circulated. Martin commended John for the ‘Lost Kootenays’ images. Joy discussed the engraving for the art plaques and fence scrim designs. David discussed the possibility of using heritage graphics on the fence scrims and Stephanie suggested that Touchstones may have graphics from the “Nelson Then and Now” exhibit. The need to move from sepia to color was agreed and the inclusion of public art on other remedial lots in the future was discussed. Joy gave an update on Sculpture Walk and how this event could tie into branding in the future. Stephanie noted the challenges that branding concepts have on creativity in the arts sector. Joy reported that policy work will be done with Joanne during May once the CBT grant season is over. Joanne reported that Colin plans to attend a CDC meeting to explain possibilities for the City’s management of the Public Art Reserve Fund. Joy and Joanne provided brief updates on the CBT-Community Initiatives Program funding and jury in progress.

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF NELSON REQUEST FOR DECISION
DATE: June 10, 2013 Regular TOPIC: Notice of Motion (Composting Assessment) PROPOSAL: Hire a contractor to do a high-level assessment of composing options PROPOSED BY: Councillor Macdonald ______ANALYSIS SUMMARY: At the April 8th Regular and subsequent May 27th Committee of the Whole meetings, Councillor Macdonald raised a Notice of Motion proposing that staff issue a Request for Proposal to hire a consultant to do a high-level assessment of composting options for the City including options that may be achieved through cooperation with the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK). A motion is required to advance with this assessment.
BACKGROUND: Currently, the City does not have a composting program therefore composting activity is dependent on individual citizens. The purpose of the assessment will be to review approaches and technologies and to report on items such as: • scale of composting • technologies or methodologies for the varying scales of composting activities • type of feedstock • how the various approaches may fit with the RDCK’s Resource Recovery Plan and the current City of Nelson waste and recycling program.
BENEFITS, DISADVANTAGES AND NEGATIVE IMPACTS: An assessment report will allow the City to take advantage of pilot opportunities that may develop through the RDCK’s Resource Recovery Plan or other waste management initiatives.
LEGISLATIVE IMPACTS, PRECEDENTS, POLICIES: It is within Council’s authority to have the assessment conducted.
COSTS AND BUDGET IMPACT - REVENUE GENERATION: There is approximately $107,000 in the Recycling Reserve account which will provide the funding for this project. It is anticipated that the cost of the assessment will be between $10,000 and $15,000.
IMPACT ON SUSTAINABILITY OBJECTIVES AND STAFF RESOURCES: The project will support the City’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction plan. If compostable products are no longer a component of household waste, household waste volumes will be reduced therefore reducing the number of trips to the transfer station. Reduction in organic decomposition at the landfill will also reduce GHG emissions.
Staff priorities were set by council in sessions held at the beginning of the year, those priorities did not include a composting assessment. It will be necessary for council to direct staff as to how they would like those priorities shifted should council determine that this item be included in the list of priorities. It should be noted that there aren’t City of Nelson staff resources with expertise in this subject matter but that expertise resides with Regional District Central Kootenay staff members.
RDCK staff provided an update to council regarding Central Waste Management at the Committee of the Whole meeting held in January 2013. The RDCK indicated at that meeting that composting is not being addressed at this time and will not likely be considered for at least another year.
COMMUNICATIONS: Consultation with the RDCK Central Waste staff prior to a Request for Proposal being issued
OPTIONS AND ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the request 2. Deny the request 3. Refer to staff for further investigation.
ATTACHMENTS: Proposal from Councillor Macdonald
RECOMMENDATION FROM THEY MAY 27, 2013 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING: THAT a Select Committee be struck to oversee a high level assessment of composting options for the City in cooperation with the RDCK, if appropriate, which will include development of a Request for Proposal to hire a consultant to complete the assessment and oversight of the consultant once hired; and THAT the funding for the proposal be provided through the Recycling Reserve Account and shall not exceed $15,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That a high level assessment of composting options for the City be added to the council priorities list as a medium priority and That staff contact the Regional District Central Kootenay to determine when they can participate in a review.

Re: composting assessment
I am proposing that the City issue an RFP for a contract to do a high-level assessment of composting options for the City, possibility in cooperation with the RDCK.
The assessment would do a wide-ranging review of a variety of approaches and technologies, and provide a report on the following options:
1. scale of composting – backyard, neighbourhood, community-wide, or a combination.
2. technologies or methods for all three scales – how they work, capital costs, ease of operation, how they address issues like wildlife, etc.
3. various feedstocks – yardwaste only; food waste; all organic compostables
4. how this approach would fit with the RDCK Resource Recovery Plan and projects, and with the City’s current collection program for waste and recycling.
This proposal to carry out an assessment aligns with:
1. our Strategic Objectives (see 8.2 “Explore a composting pilot in conjunction with the RDCK”). This assessment is needed before a pilot can be implemented.
2. the Resource Recovery Plan – while a centralized composting system is several years out, both the Plan and the RDCK staff have stated a willingness to assist community composting efforts.
3. our fuel mitigation objectives for properties in the city. Making composting of yard waste easier will bring greater success.
4. our corporate GHG reduction plan. With increased hauling distances to the new transfer station, one way to reduce GHGs and cut costs (both of transportation and tipping fees) is to reduce volumes – and getting organics out of the waste stream is our last strategy. This will also reduce GHG emissions from organic decomposition at the landfill.
The ‘recycling reserve’ current tops $107,000, and funds for this contract (and possible follow up) could be taken from this reserve.
Thank you for your consideration.

From: Robin Cherbo Sent: June-03-13 6:44 AM To: Barb Dionne; John Dooley; Council; Kevin Cormack Subject: RE: notice of motion for Healthy Communities Importance: High
Hi All I would like to put forth a notice of motion to have a partnership agreement with IHA in regards to 'Community Health' similar to other municipalities in our area;
i.e. ‘community health is important to both the municipality and the health authority, so the City of Nelson would like to partner for the long term with the Interior Health Authority to reduce chronic disease risk factors and increase the health of our community’
I believe this statement does not require any extra work for our municipality, but to continue on as we are in line with our OCP and formalize our intention to endeavor to support a local healthy community.
