B.6) Bylaw 1795 - Public Written Submission (Available upon request and at the Public Hearing)
Deputy Corporate Administrator Gina Albers confirmed there were no public written responses received for the April 19, 2016 Public Hearing regarding Bylaw 1795.
B.7) Bylaw No. 1795 - Oral Submissions
1. Paul Eckersley, Manager of Save-on-Foods located in Quesnel, B.C.
Mr.Eckersley advised of the following: - Save-on-Foods (aka Overwaitea) has been in Quesnel for 50 years. - Currently, Save-on-Foods has seven (7) stores that sell BC VQA wine in the province. - Save-on-Foods plans to have eight (8) more stores sell BC VQA wine in the province, but he is not sure if Quesnel will be included in one of those 8 stores? - Save-on-Foods has had zero (0) incidents in the stores that sell BC VQA wine and that audits are carried out by in-house staff and by provincial authorities. - Save-on-Foods has 80 to 100 trained staff, with Serving-itRight certification, regarding the sale of BC VQA wine.
2. Bill Bailey, Owner/Operator of the South Quesnel Liquor Store
Mr. Bailey advised of the following: - The 1 kilometer does not affect his liquor store location, because all of the grocery stores are far enough away. - The grocery stores do adversely affect liquor stores that are not represented here today. - Eventually small liquor stores will close, adversely affecting the investments made by small liquor store owners. - With the existing regulation it allows the larger grocery stores to buy-out those smaller liquor stores with that 1 kilometer in mind. He thinks that is the process that we should proceed with. - Right now the auction is for BC VQA wines, you will eventually see that our trade agreements with other countries are going to be affected. Those people, say from Australia, are going to push to get their wines sold in those liquor stores to be on the same market. Eventually we will see the spirit department do exactly the same thing. Eventually those smaller stores that are within that 1 kilometer rule will go away at a major expense to all smaller liquor store owners. - He knows that the liquor store in West Quesnel spent almost $2 million dollars to get there, not counting the inventory or the time that people work there; who will all lose their jobs. - Eventually the big people will push the smaller people out. - We have more than enough liquor stores in this area. I know that we would all like to go to one store to shop for groceries and pick up our wine, but it is not that inconvenient to walk across the street from Safeway to the BC Government Liquor Store. If we all shop at WalMart, then there would be no shoe stores or clothing stores anywhere else. - Walking down the street from the grocery store is not all that inconvenient when you are talking about peoples livelihoods' and peoples' jobs.
3. Question from Councillor Thapar to Mr. Bailey - What would your answer be then, as you are now putting the larger grocery stores at an unfair advantage?
Mr. Bailey replied - the different is that he paid $1.5 million for his business and now the grocery stores, under this new regulation where the BC Government is handing out licenses, can purchase his business license for $3,000 to $4,000 - that's the difference.
Adopt Public Hearing Meeting Minutes of April 19, 2016 Page 5 of 72 Public Hearing for Bylaw 1795 April 19, 2016
4. Question from Councillor Roodenburg to Mayor Simpson - Is the email that was sent out to all of Council this afternoon, from the Wine Advocacy Group, not being included in this public hearing? Mayor Simpson replied that that email did not contain any new information, and in fact was included with and during the Policy and Bylaw Review Committee's deliberations so this is not new information being brought forward by the Wine Advocacy Group. Mayor Simpson asked Deputy Corporate Administrator Gina Albers when the deadline was for written correspondence to be included in a public hearing? Deputy Corporate Administrator Gina Albers confirmed that she would accept written correspondence up to the commencement of the Public Hearing and that she, nor did Director of Development Services Tanya Turner, receive this email from the Wine Advocacy Group.
5. Wayne Wark - 1446 North Fraser Drive
Mr. Wark advised of the following:
- This doesn't really affect him, but he is curious that we are going to pass a bylaw here that's going to make a 1 kilometer radius for wine. Two weeks ago at the Council meeting he was under the impression that we had made another bylaw that you would allow them to sell wine at the Farmer's Market. He is just curious as to how you can have the Farmer's Market selling wine and somebody else can't sell wine?
Mayor Simpson replied - Mr. Wark there is no such bylaw. I don’t know what you are referring to about the Farmer’s Market selling wine? The Farmer’s Market made a presentation to Council, but that is not a bylaw.

Report Date: April 21, 2016 Meeting Date: April 26, 2016
To: Council From: Mayor Simpson Subject: Political Campaign Sign Regulations
PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to determine the will of Council with respect to regulating political signs within the City. SUMMARY/BACKGROUND The Policy and Bylaw Committee’s (PABCOM) review of the City’s sign bylaw revealed that local government has regulatory authority over political campaign signs, with respect to both their location and the timeframe they are allowed to be up. PABCOM had a preliminary discussion about the possibility that Council might consider restricting the location and duration of political signage within the City limits for a number of reasons: 1. One of the main citizen complaints during elections is with regard to the proliferation of signs on public right of ways, particularly by candidates who place multiple signs on main traffic corridors. 2. Fixed election dates are extending election periods, as witnessed in the most recent federal election, meaning political signage pollutes the City’s viewscape for longer periods of time. 3. Unregulated sign placement and the proliferation of political signs invites vandalism, which creates unnecessary tensions between political parties/candidates. 4. Signs use significant renewable and non-renewable resources which most often end up in the City’s landfill and sometimes end up as litter on our public roadways for years after the election. Regulating political signage to a few easily visible designated areas within the City limits for a limited duration that correlates with actual voting opportunities (i.e. advance polls and election day) has the following potential benefits: 1. It maintains the spirit and intent of the City’s sign bylaw and other aesthetically-oriented strategic initiatives, expenditures, and bylaws (e.g. façade improvement, park maintenance, beautification expenditures, development permits, etc.). 2. Restricting signage to only 6-8 areas for a limited duration is easily enforced. 3. Increases the social equity of our democratic elections by creating a fairer playing field for all candidates and allows campaigns to focus their volunteer efforts on other campaign strategies. 4. Decreases the use of renewable and non-renewable resources. RECOMMENDATION THAT Council give direction to PABCOM as to whether it should/should not work with staff to draft a bylaw to restrict political campaign signs within the City limits.

Original signed by: Byron Johnson, CAO QUESNEL
Administration Report Report Date: April 19, 2016 Meeting Date: April 26, 2016
To: City Manager From: Director of Community Services Subject: Nazko First Nation - Community Transit Partnership Agreement
PURPOSE To obtain Council approval for a new Community Transit Partnership Agreement with the Nazko First Nation for the provision of monthly transit service to and from Nazko one day per month. SUMMARY The City of Quesnel and the Nazko First Nation entered into a Community Transit Partnership Agreement (CTPA) a number of years ago to provide transit services between Nazko and Quesnel. CTPAs are renewed annually and are linked to the Annual Operating Agreement each year between the City, BC Transit, and the Transit Operator. The most recent CTPA with the Nazko First Nation expired March 31, 2016. Transit service has been reduced from two trips per month to one trip per month at the request of the Nazko First Nation. Service to Nazko was discontinued in October 2015 and five trips were cancelled between October and March due to the inability of the transit operator to find a driver for the route. The new Transit Operator, Whistler Connections, has secured and trained a driver for the route and is prepared to resume the service immediately. The Term of the Agreement is for one year with an option to renew for one additional year. The only substantial change to the agreement is an increase in fees to reflect the actual cost of providing the service. Under the terms of the agreement, the previous fee of $80/hr will be applied to the first 5 trips of the new contract, after which the fee will increase to $90/hr. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The CTPA with the Nazko First Nation is based on cost recovery for the City. ATTACHMENTS: Draft CTPA with the Nazko First Nation RECOMMENDATION

CITY OF Administration Report No. 26B/2016
Original signed by: Byron Johnson, CAO QUESNEL
Administration Report Report Date: April 20th, 2016 Meeting Date: April 26th, 2016
To: City Manager From: Director of Development Services Subject: BYLAW OF THE MONTH – May 2016 - Disabled Parking
PURPOSE Develop awareness regarding the City’s fine increase to $150.00 for unauthorized parking in disabled parking stalls. SUMMARY In December of 2015 Council revised the Streets, Traffic and Parking Bylaw to increase the fine for unauthorized vehicles in stalls designated for disable persons to $150.00. In May, city staff will issue education materials to raise awareness that it is never appropriate to stop in a stall marked for exclusive use by persons with disabilities without a valid permit. Information on obtaining permits may be obtained from www.sparc.bc.ca . COUNCIL POLICY Streets, Traffic and Parking Bylaw No. 1773 of 2016 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS $100 advertising BACKGROUND “Bylaw of the Month” has been established to increase awareness of select City of Quesnel regulations. The City will utilize the City’s website, social media, e-mail notices to stakeholders, and Council’s media releases such as Council Clippings to inform the community on municipal bylaws. Attached is a sample ad that will be utilized. In addition, Bylaw Enforcement Staff will be increasing activities related to educating and enforcing the particular regulation during the specified month. May is Disabled Parking month. The purpose is to raise awareness that it is unacceptable to stop in a stall reserved for persons with disabilities if you do not have a permit to do so. In December Council increased the fine to $150 for any person who allows, causes or permits any motor vehicle to be stopped, standing or parked in a stall designated for use by disabled persons without a valid permit. These spaces allow people with mobility challenges to have access to buildings and services in the community. People who qualify for parking permits either need the extra width of the designated space to get in and out of their vehicle when using a wheelchair, crutches, a cane or other mobility aid, or need to park close to a building entrance because their health prevents them from walking very far. The yellow lined area abutting a handicap stall is also not to be parked in, this is an access aisle for the handicap user. Tickets may be issued to vehicles in or partially in this area.

Administration Report #29B/16 - Bylaw of the Month - Accessi... Page 50 of 72
Persons with permits please ensure your disabled parking permit is valid and hung from the rear-view mirror of your vehicle so the public and Bylaw Officers can clearly see it. If you can’t reach the rear-view mirror due to health reasons, the dash is acceptable. Permits need to be visible from the street.

To: City Manager From: Economic Development Officer
Subject: Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association Hotel Tax Initiative
PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to provide Council with information regarding the Municipal Regional District Tax (hotel tax) program and information regarding the CCCTA’s initiative to administer this tax for the region. SUMMARY The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association, the regional destination marketing organization, has begun to collect support from hotel owners in Quesnel and throughout the region for a hotel tax that would cover the region from the Fraser Canyon to Bella Coola to Quesnel to Wells. Monies collected in Quesnel and other municipalities would be directed to the CCCTA, based in Williams Lake rather than used locally. It is unclear how the funds will be used, or how input will be gathered from throughout the region for the use of these funds. The CCCTA also appears to be targeting the already instituted MRDT collected by the District of Wells. If the City of Quesnel successfully applies for the MRDT, the funds can be directed towards marketing efforts to get “more heads in beds” in Quesnel, and local stakeholders and Council may have a direct voice in shaping and implementing a plan to do so. If the CCCTA’s application is approved, the hotel tax will be in place and administered by the CCCTA for a period of 5 years before they are required to renew and demonstrate continued support. The City of Quesnel would not be able to apply to the program as long as the CCCTA is collecting the tax on behalf of the municipality. The CCCTA has been informed that the City intends to engage local hotels in discussions about the municipality leading this process as part of our rebranding and marketing efforts.
BACKGROUND The Municipal Regional District Tax (MRDT/hotel tax) is a program that allows a 1%, 2%, or 3% tax to be levied on hotel room stays within a defined geographical area, such as a municipality or regional district. The tax is collected by the Province (as with PST) and forwarded back to the designated recipient. The designated recipient may be a municipality, regional district or another entity, such as a destination marketing organization. A destination marketing organization may only be eligible in consultation and with the support of the municipality and regional district.

Administration Report #38/16 - Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Touri... Page 60 of 72 From the MRDT Program Requirements document supplied by the Province of British Columbia: o If an eligible entity is applying, the entity must provide evidence that all municipalities and regional districts within the designated accommodation area have been consulted and agree with the tax being imposed in the designated accommodation area on behalf of the eligible entity. Evidence must be in the form of letters of support from the municipality(ies) and regional district(s) o In the case of a conflict between a municipality, regional district or eligible entity about who the designated recipient is for an application or whether the tax should be imposed in a municipality, priority will be given to the position of the municipality. MRDT funds may be used for tourism marketing, programs, and projects. As part of its 2016 Strategic Planning, Council passed a unanimous motion to pursue the opportunity of seeking incremental marketing funds through the MRDT initiative; this direction was communicated clearly to the CCCTA on a number of occasions.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS It is estimated that approximately $70,000 would be collected from eligible accommodators in Quesnel if a 2% tax was applied by the City.
RECOMMENDATION THAT Council does not support the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association in their application to administer a regional Municipal Regional District Tax. AND THAT Council directs staff to continue with Council’s strategic direction and work with local accommodators in developing a plan for implementing a Municipal and Regional District Tax in Quesnel.
