TOWN OF PRINCETON

REPORT TO: Lyle Thomas, CAO FOR: Regular

PRESENTED: Monday, May 6th, 2019 FILE:

FROM: Jamie Umpleby – Director Infrastructure and Parks

SUBJECT: Net Zero Waste – Organic Infrastructure Program

Recommendation:

THAT Council approve the Town providing a letter of support in principal, for the RDOS and Net Zero Waste’s application for “organics infrastructure program funding” to the Province.

1. Purpose:

To seek Council’s approval to provide a letter of support to Net Zero Waste for their application to the Province for funding to operate an organics recycling facility on the old mushroom composting site between Princeton and East Gate.

2. Time Critical:

This request is not time critical.

3. Background:

The Provincial Government is delivering an “Organics Infrastructure Program”. The Organics Infrastructure Program is intended to facilitate the investment of $30 million towards organics processing infrastructure in British Columbia, such as composting facilities or anaerobic digesters. The infrastructure will divert unprocessed municipal organic waste from landfills and/or agricultural waste from direct land application, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The Province is currently accepting Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the Organics Infrastructure Program which supports investment in infrastructure so as to manage these materials sustainably and without any negative impacts. The EOI can only be submitted by local governments or self-governing First Nations, but can be used to develop organics processing capacity at private facilities.

The RDOS will submit the EOI for the old mushroom composting site between Princeton and East Gate pending review and approval of the content of the EOI by RDOS staff. If successful the RDOS will receive the funding, provide it to Net Zero Waste and Net Zero Waste will supply the remaining funding for construction of the facility. A letter of endorsement in principal from the Town will be used to support the application for funding (a copy of the request from Net Zero Waste is attached.

Net Zero Waste-Organic Infrastructure Program Page 17 of 140 AGENDA ITEM #6.1.

Net Zero Waste – Organic Infrastructure Program Page 2

4. Discussion

Net Zero Waste Inc. are currently partners in/or owns and operates four composting facilities within BC. These facilities are: - Net Zero Waste in Abbotsford - Sea to Sky Soils in Whistler - Salish Soils on the Sunshine Coast - Operation of CVRD compost facility in Comox

Net Zero Waste provides the services necessary to support programs, which promote and encourage both producer responsibility and user responsibility practices, particularly with regards to organic management. Their innovative design reduces the waste load on landfills extending their life span. The facilities earn carbon credits, as there is a reduction in the production of methane in landfills, which is a potent greenhouse, gas thus lowering the carbon footprint of the entire community.

One of the unique aspects of Net Zero Waste’s system is the new and innovative technology it uses, which helps to keep the odors to a minimum, minimizing offsite impacts.

The system uses Gortex covers over the waste, reducing the odour by about 90 to 97 per cent. It also allows CO2 to pass through, retaining heat and allowing the compost to break down faster, in about six to eight weeks. The organic waste is brought into the facility and placed under covers for the first stage of decomposition. Once the odour is minimized, it’s moved outdoors and covered to continue the process with minimal smell.

Supporting Net Zero Waste could benefit the Town of Princeton in the future as it is very likely the Province will require we provide a compost service to divert organics from our landfill. If the application is successful, this will provide a facility in close proximity to Princeton. A copy of the letter of support provided by the RDOS is attached for information.

5. Financial:

Given that this is support in principal with no obligation on the Town there are no financial implications.

6. Recommendation:

THAT Council approve the Town providing a letter of support in principal, for the RDOS and Net Zero Waste’s application for “organics infrastructure program funding” to the Province.

Alternative Recommendation:

Council not support Net Zero Wastes application.

TOWN OF PRINCETON

REPORT TO: Mayor and Council FOR: Regular Meeting

PRESENTED: May 6th, 2019 FILE:

FROM: Lyle Thomas

SUBJECT: Arena Chiller- Award Project Contract

Recommendation:

THAT Council awards the Princeton Arena Chiller replacement project to Norlock Refrigeration and Controls (#13 – 4524 Eldorado Ct. Kelowna BC) for the sum of $119,350.00 plus taxes;

AND THAT staff oversees the project to completion as per the terms of reference included in the RFP.

1. Purpose:

To award the Princeton Arena Chiller replacement project and to commence work as soon as possible.

2. Time Critical:

Council identified this as an important project and has allocated funds in the 2019 budget. It is beneficial to complete this project this summer in order to minimize the disruption and inconvenience to the arena users.

3. Background:

The Princeton arena ice plant was commissioned into service in 1974. Over the years, major components have been upgraded to make the plant more efficient or to replace aging infrastructure.

The Chiller is a heat exchanger in which heat from the ice surface floor is removed and transferred to liquid ammonia. The ammonia charge at the Princeton arena with the current system is approximately 200 pounds. The proposed Chiller (heat exchanger) has a reduced ammonia charge of only 40 pounds and is seen as being much more energy efficient.

Arena Chiller- Award Project Contract Page 23 of 140 AGENDA ITEM #6.2.

Arena Chiller- Award Project Contract Page 2

The chiller was last replaced in 1992. The life expectancy for chillers is approximately 25 years. The Chiller is a sealed pressure vessel. Taking brine samples and testing for the presence of ammonia is the primary way of monitoring the condition of the piping inside of the chiller. The Princeton Arena staff collects brine samples every 6 months and sends them away for testing. No ammonia has been found in the samples. However, staff recommends replacement of the chiller due to the age of the vessel.

During budget deliberations for 2019, Council approved the Arena Chiller Replacement project as a priority and advised staff to proceed with a Request For Proposal (RFP) for this project.

Staff developed a terms of reference for the project in February of this year. The RFP was advertised the beginning of April 2019, with a closing date of April 18, 2019. A total of 3 submissions were received:  Cimco Refrigeration $197,540.00  Glacier Heights Refrigeration $185,630.09  Norlock Refrigeration $119,350.00

Staff reviewed the submissions on Tuesday, April 23rd, 2019 and found that all three were comparable and valid RFP’s.

4. Financial

Council has allocated funds for the Princeton Arena Chiller replacement project in this year’s budget.

5. Alternatives to Staff Recommendation:

Recommendation:

THAT Council awards the Princeton Arena Chiller replacement project to Norlock Refrigeration and Controls (#13 – 4524 Eldorado Ct. Kelowna BC) for the sum of $119,350.00 plus taxes;

AND THAT staff oversees the project to completion as per the terms of reference included in the RFP.

Housing Needs Report Program

Applications are currently being accepted for this program.

The Housing Needs Reports program supports local governments in undertaking housing needs reports in order to meet the provincial requirements. The reports will strengthen the ability of local governments to understand what kinds of housing are most needed in their communities, and help inform local plans, policies, and development decisions. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing has confirmed $5 million over three years for this program.

The program is structured to reflect the planning areas for which local governments are required to complete housing needs reports: municipalities, electoral areas and local trust areas (within the Islands Trust). Funding is scaled based on the net population of the planning area.

2019 Housing Needs Report Program Applications are now being accepted for the 2019 program. Funding permitting, the applications deadlines are May 31 and November 29, 2019.

Housing Needs Reports Program 2019 Program & Application Guide

1. Introduction

Starting in April 2019, local governments are required to develop housing needs reports on a regular basis. The reports will strengthen the ability of local governments to understand what kinds of housing are most needed in their communities, and help inform local plans, policies, and development decisions.

Housing Needs Reports Program The Housing Needs Reports program supports local governments in undertaking housing needs reports in order to meet the provincial requirements. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing (MMAH) has confirmed $5 million over three years for this program. The program is structured to reflect the planning areas for which local governments are required to complete housing needs reports: municipalities, electoral areas and local trust areas (within the Islands Trust). Funding is scaled based on the net population of the planning area. Refer to Section 6 and Appendix 1 for eligible funding amounts.

2. Eligible Applicants

All local governments in BC (municipalities, regional districts, and the Islands Trust) are eligible to apply. Local Trust Committees must apply through the Islands Trust. Eligible applicants can submit one application per intake, including regional applications and participation as a partnering applicant in a regional application. Funding permitting, applicants are able to submit one application in each subsequent intake, however each planning area can only be funded once over the full span of the program.

3. Eligible Projects

To qualify for funding, projects must: • Be a new project or update to an existing, eligible housing needs report. Retroactive funding is not available. • Result in a housing needs report for at least one entire planning area: municipality, electoral area, or local trust area. • Be capable of completion by the applicant within one year from the date of funding approval.

Housing Needs Report - Funding Announcement A new funding program is rec... Page 61 of 140 AGENDA ITEM #9.5.

Regional Projects Funding requests for a combination of planning areas (municipalities, electoral areas, and/or local trust areas) may be submitted as a single application for eligible, collaborative projects. In this case, the maximum funding available would be based on the number of eligible planning areas included in the application and the funding maximums for each as identified in Appendix 1. It is expected that regional projects will demonstrate cost-efficiencies in the total grant request. The primary applicant submitting the application for a regional project is required to submit a Council, Board, or Local Trust Committee resolution as outlined in Section 7 of this guide. If the additional planning areas are outside of the primary applicant’s jurisdiction, each partnering local government is required to submit a Council, Board, or Local Trust Committee resolution that clearly states their approval for the primary applicant to apply for, receive, and manage the funding on their behalf. The total funding request for regional projects cannot exceed $150,000.

4. Requirements for Funding

To qualify for funding, housing needs reports must: • Meet the requirements of the Local Government Act (or Vancouver Charter) in relation to the development of a new or updated housing needs report; • Result in a housing needs report for at least one entire planning area: municipality, electoral area, or local trust area. • Be received by the local government Council, Board, or Local Trust Committee in a meeting open to the public. In the case of regional projects, the report must be received by the Council, Board, or Local Trust Committee responsible for each planning area that is included in the project; • Be published online for free public access.

5. Eligible & Ineligible Costs & Activities

Eligible Costs & Activities Eligible costs are direct costs that are approved by the Evaluation Committee, properly and reasonably incurred, and paid by the applicant to carry out eligible activities. Eligible costs can only be incurred from the date of application submission until the final report is submitted (unless specified below). Under the Housing Needs Reports program, eligible costs and activities must be cost-effective and include: • Development of new or updated housing needs reports (as required by the Local Government Act and Vancouver Charter), including: o Project management and coordination; o Data collection (from public agencies and/or other data costs), compilation and analysis, not including data made available via the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing for the purpose of developing housing needs reports;

As noted in Section 3, the funding maximum for all regional projects is $150,000. In order to ensure transparency and accountability in the expenditure of public funds, all other contributions for eligible portions of the project must be declared and, depending on the total value, may decrease the value of the funding.

TOWN OF PRINCETON

REPORT TO: Lyle Thomas, Chief Administrative Officer FOR: Regular Meeting

PRESENTED: May 6th, 2019 FILE:

FROM: James Graham, Director of Finance

SUBJECT: 2019 Financial Plan Bylaw

Recommendation:

THAT Council give the Town of Princeton Five-Year Financial Plan Bylaw 2019-2023 No. 955, 2019 a third reading as amended.

1. Purpose:

To adopt a Financial Plan for the Town of Princeton as required by the Community Charter.

2. Time Critical:

The Property Tax Bylaw for the Town of Princeton needs to be passed by May 15th, 2019. A Financial Plan needs to be adopted before the imposing of a Property Tax Bylaw (Section 197(1) of the Community Charter.

3. Background:

A Special Meeting of Council was held January 30th-31st , 2019 at Princeton Town Hall for the deliberation and approval of a preliminary budget for 2019. The Financial Plan was created out of those discussions and is submitted to council for their approval.

The timeline is as follows for the approval of the Tax Rate Bylaw and the Financial Plan Bylaw:

- April 1st, 2019, introduction of the Financial Plan Bylaw for first and second readings; - April 1st, 2019 through May 1st, 2019, public consultation process that will include all required notifications under Section 94 of the Community Charter, a mailer that explains the financial plan in detail and an invitation to provide written comment to staff for submission to council; - May 6th, 2019, report to council on any comments received on the financial plan and a request for council to move to third reading; - May 6th, 2019 introduction of the Annual Property Tax Bylaw for three readings;

2019 Financial Plan Bylaw Page 83 of 140 AGENDA ITEM #10.1.

2019 Financial Plan Bylaw May 6th, 2019 Regular Meeting of Council Page 2

- May 13th, 2019, Special Meeting of Council: adoption of both the Financial Plan 2019- 2023 and the Annual Property Tax Bylaw.

A public consultation was conducted on the 2019-2023 Financial Plan. This process concluded May 1st, 2019 and consisted of a mailer developed by staff to inform the public regarding the financial plan and invitation for input. Two e-mails were received from the public. Those e-mails plus their replies from staff are attached to this report.

The following amendments were made to Schedule “B” of the bylaw:

- The federal budget announced municipalities will receive a one-time doubling of the contribution of Federal Gas Tax. For the Town of Princeton, this equates to an increase in revenue of $171,000. - Using the increased Gas Tax money, an increased amount of road paving will be conducted by the Town this summer. This results in an increase in the capital expenditures budget by $137,000. - The water and sewer reserve now show an automatic increase to their balances as a result of the infrastructure levy implemented this year. This year, the water and sewer reserves are due to be increased by $22,000 as a result of the levy. - Reclassifying certain accounts to better adjust departmental budgets for administrative services.

Schedule “A” TOWN OF PRINCETON TAX RATE POLICY 2019

POLICY STATEMENT

The overall objective of the property tax rate policy is to achieve fairness and equity for all tax payers and provide a stable and competitive business environment.

The objectives of the property tax rate policy are to:

• Encourage reserves as a savings for future services; • make Princeton an attractive municipality in which to do business; and • keep residential property tax rates competitive to other municipalities in our region.

Council is committed to ensuring the future prosperity of our Town by ensuring capital funds are available in the future to afford necessary refurbishment and/or replacement of infrastructure.

To attract and retain both commercial and industrial enterprises, Council is committed to maintaining a competitive tax rate system so that commercial and industrial enterprises are paying their fair share of both capital and operating costs, but not more than a business elsewhere in a comparable municipality.

Council will work to keep residential taxes affordable in the Town of Princeton. Princeton’s residential property tax rate must remain competitive with comparable municipalities in the region. Dependence on taxpayer-funded revenues or reserves can be achieved by ensuring that the maximum amount of grants from other levels of government are investigated and/or secured before proceeding on capital projects.

The Town of Princeton is on the cusp of a positive growth curve. Consideration must be made to ensure the reserve amounts retained by the Town each year reflect the continued cost to maintain existing infrastructure. The goal of the financial plan is to retain at minimum the replacement cost of the capital assets of the town. By maintaining this standard, Council is working to ensure that there are enough reserves to replace infrastructure as it requires replacement.

BACKGROUND:

The system of property taxation provides a stable and consistent source of revenue for many services that are difficult or undesirable to fund on a user-pay basis. These include services such as fire protection, bylaw enforcement, libraries, street lighting and infrastructure. For these reasons, property value taxation will continue to be the primary source of municipal revenue.

Many municipal services, such as water and sewer usage, can be measured and charged for on a user-pay basis. This basis attempts to fairly apportion the value of a municipal service to those who make use of it. User fees and charges will continue to form the second largest portion of planned revenue. Council will perform regular reviews of revenue generating areas for appropriate application of rate increases and ensure utilities operate as self-supporting enterprise funds.

2019 Financial Plan Bylaw Page 86 of 140 AGENDA ITEM #10.1.

PERMISSIVE TAX EXEMPTIONS

Council believes that the Permissive Tax Exemption is an appropriate way to recognize the value of the services provided to the community by non-profit organizations. Council will consider permissive tax exemptions annually. All applications for permissive tax exemptions will be reviewed in accordance with the current Permissive Tax Exemption Policy. Permissive tax Exemptions will be reviewed to ensure that the organization and property still meets the criteria established by Council.

From: Chief Administrative Officer Sent: April 23, 2019 5:02 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Spencer Coyne ; Randy McLean ; Barb Gould ; Tyler Willis ; George Elliott Subject: Email questions of April 19/19

Good afternoon Susan, I hope you had a nice Easter weekend.

Thank you for your email on Friday April 19.

You expressed concerns and many questions about the 5 year financial plan document. I have tried to summarize them into 2 main categories; future housing needs and why tourism.

I can assure you that the Mayor and Council are very concerned about housing needs and the current growth that we are experiencing. Much time and effort is being invested in this area as it is seen as a high priority. I’m sure you will understand that the details of land development is a sensitive and somewhat confidential discussion as it revolves around land that the Town does not own. However, you will notice on page 11 of the 5 Year Financial Plan, a discussion around DCC’s. This is a crucial step among many to prepare for development as it relates to servicing future needs. The Provincial Government also mandates that the Town prepare a housing study. This will be done this year. You will not find this on the priority list as it is a requirement of the Provincial Government but it is no less an important piece of the puzzle.

Tourism projects speak to how we present ourselves and represents the character of the community. It is very much related to growth. We want to be diversified in our approach to development and growth.

I am confident that if we continue to work on; planning for future growth, working with land owners, continue to develop the industrial park, maintain our underground infrastructure, improve our highway presentation, value our rich history, honour those that have gone before us and provide an attractive quality of life through amenities, that the town will grow and prosper on a firm foundation. It sounds like a lot and sometimes does not move as fast as we like, but I know that Council is on the right track.

Please stop in if you have any questions or concerns and we will be happy to help you,

Thanks Susan.

REPORT TO: Lyle Thomas, CAO FOR: Regular Meeting

PRESENTED: May 6th, 2019 FILE: 56200377.000

FROM: Christopher Garrish, Contract Planner

SUBJECT: Zoning Amendment Application – 185 Bridge Street

Recommendation: THAT Bylaw No. 960, 2019, Town of Princeton Zoning Amendment Bylaw be given third reading.

1. Purpose: The purpose of Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 960, 2019, is to change the zoning of the property at 185 Bridge Street, which is legally described as Lot 29, Block 11, Plan KAP55, District Lot 706, YDYD, from Institutional and Health Care (H1) to Central Business (C2) in order to formalize the use of the site for a “post office” (ground floor) as well as “commercial or professional business office” (upper floors). This amendment bylaw is being initiated by the Town of Princeton.

2. Time Critical: None.

3. Background: Site Context: The subject property is approximately 916 m2 in area and is located at the north-east corner of the intersection of Kenley Avenue and Bridge Street. The property is currently seen to be comprised of the Canada Post office building, while the surrounding patter of development on Bridge Street is predominantly commercial businesses. Regulatory Provisions: Under the Town’s Official Community Plan (OCP) Bylaw, the subject property has been designated Town Centre (TC), which speaks to maintaining “the Town Centre as the commercial core of Princeton” and further speaks to encouraging professional offices and government offices (i.e. post office) within this area.

Zoning Amendment Application – 185 Bridge Street Page 109 of 140 AGENDA ITEM #10.3.

Zoning Amendment Application – 185 Bridge Street Page 2

The property has also been designated as being within the Town Centre Development Permit Area under the OCP Bylaw. Under the Town’s Zoning Bylaw No. 880, 2013, the subject property is zoned Institutional and Health Care (H1), the intent of which is “to accommodate institutional services including age-friendly housing, health care and education”. In support of this, the H1 Zone includes, amongst other things, “assisted living housing”, “congregate housing”, “day care centre”, “hospital” and “shelter housing” as permitted principal uses. In comparison, the intent of the Central Business (C2) Zone is to “serve as the town centre of Princeton, providing a location for restaurants, offices, retail, entertainment, government, cultural, residential and other uses.” In support of this, the C2 Zone includes, amongst other things, “post office” and “commercial or professional business office” as permitted principal uses. Council Resolutions: At its meeting of April 15, 2019, Council resolved to approve first and second reading of the Amendment Bylaw and the scheduling of a public hearing for May 6, 2019. A Public Hearing, in accordance with Section 464 of the Local Government Act, is scheduled to occur ahead of the Regular Council Meeting on May 6, 2019.

4. Policy Implications Amending the zoning of the subject property to C2 is seen to be consistent with the designation of the property under the OCP Bylaw for Town Centre purposes. In addition, rezoning the property will address the legally non-conforming status of the building under the Zoning Bylaw and will further allow for proposed additions and renovations to the building to be completed. For these reasons, staff are recommending in favour of the proposed amendment.

5. Communications:

All referral comments received from external agencies and Town departments are included as a separate item on the Council Agenda. Approval from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) is required prior to adoption of Amendment No. 960, 2019 as the proposal is within 800 metres of a controlled area (i.e. Highway 3).

REPORT TO: Lyle Thomas, Acting CAO FOR: Regular Meeting

PRESENTED: May 6th, 2019 FILE: 56201114.020

FROM: Christopher Garrish, Contract Planner

SUBJECT: Zoning Amendment Application – 462 Similkameen Avenue

Recommendation: THAT Bylaw No. 961, 2019, Town of Princeton Zoning Amendment Bylaw be given third reading.

1. Purpose: The purpose of Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 961, 2019, is to change the zoning of the property at 462 Similkameen Avenue, which is legally described as Lots 1 & 2, Plan EPP89240, District Lot 706, YDYD, from Single Family Residential (RS1) to Two Family Residential (RD) in order to allow for the development of duplexes. In support of this proposal, the applicant has stated that “I want to build duplexes on each lot (1&2). RS1 does not allow duplexes.” Council is asked to be aware that, as part of this amendment bylaw process, staff are recommending that a textual amendment be initiated to order update Section 14.2.3 (Development Regulations – Minimum Parcel Size) of the Zoning Bylaw in order to add a provision for the strata subdivision of duplexes on an RD zoned parcel.

2. Time Critical: None.

3. Background: Site Context: The subject property has recently been subdivided and now comprises two legal parcels that are approximately 974.6 m2 (Lot 1) and 975.5 m2 (Lot 2) in area and are located on the south side of Similkameen Avenue, 55 metres south of its intersection with Stout Street. The property is currently seen to be vacant land used for outdoor storage purposes while the surrounding pattern of development is characterized by low density residential uses to the north and a mix of residential and industrial uses on the south side of Similkameen Avenue.

Zoning Amendment Application – 462 Similkameen Avenue Page 117 of 140 AGENDA ITEM #10.4.

Zoning Amendment Application – 462 Similkameen Avenue Page 2 Regulatory Provisions: Under the Town’s Official Community Plan (OCP) Bylaw, the subject property has been designated Low Density Residential (LR), which speaks to supporting “detached (single family), semi-detached and duplex dwellings (two family)” as acceptable uses “provided the design, size and siting of these structures remains consistent with the character of the neighbourhood.” Under the Town’s Zoning Bylaw No. 880, 2013, the subject property is zoned Single Family One (RS1), the intent of which is “to accommodate single detached housing on mid-sized, serviced lots”. In support of this, the RS1 Zone lists “single detached dwelling” as the only form of permitted dwelling type. In comparison, the intent of the Two Family Residential (RD) Zone is “to accommodate single detached and duplex housing on mid-sized, serviced lots.” In support of this, the RD Zone lists “single detached dwelling” as well as “duplex” as the permitted forms of dwelling types. The minimum parcel size for subdivision in the RD Zone is 557 m2. Council Resolutions: At its meeting of April 15th, 2019, Council resolved to approve first and second reading of the Amendment Bylaw and the scheduling of a public hearing for May 6th, 2019. A Public Hearing, in accordance with Section 464 of the Local Government Act, is scheduled to occur ahead of the Regular Council Meeting on May 6th, 2019.

4. Policy Implications Amending the zoning of the subject property to RD is seen to be consistent with the designation of the property under the OCP Bylaw for Low Density Residential purposes and furthers the Plan’s objective of promoting infill development within existing residential developments, increasing housing choices by encouraging a mixture of residential dwelling types and densities within neighbourhoods and encouraging greater housing affordability. For these reasons, staff are recommending in favour of rezoning the subject property to RD. With regard to the proposed textual amendment to the minimum parcel size requirements in the RD Zone, this is in order to allow for the stratification of duplex units. At present, the RD Zone stipulates a minimum parcel size for subdivision of 557 m2, meaning a parcel would be required to be 1,114 m2 in area in order to allow for the stratification of a duplex unit. In the context of the current application, this provision would prevent the stratification of any duplex units constructed on the new Lots 1 & 2 being created from 462 Similkameen Avenue as these lots are less than 1,114 m2 in area. Staff consider this to be an unreasonable requirement and contrary to the OCP objectives of encouraging infill and housing affordability.

Zoning Amendment Application – 462 Similkameen Avenue Page 118 of 140 AGENDA ITEM #10.4.

Zoning Amendment Application – 462 Similkameen Avenue Page 3 In response, staff are proposing that Line No. 3 (Minimum Parcel Size) under Section 14.2 (Development Regulations) of the Zoning Bylaw be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

RD Column I RD Column II

.3 Minimum Parcel Size a) 1.0 ha, when not connected to the municipal sewer system; b) 550.0 m2, when connected to the municipal sewer system; or c) 225.0 m2, for the purpose of subdivision of duplexes into their individual units, when connected to the municipal sewer system.

Council is asked to be aware that this textual change will apply to all parcels zoned RD within the Town’s boundary, which is approximately 195 parcels.

5. Communications: All referral comments received from external agencies and Town departments are included as a separate item on the Council Agenda. Approval from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) is required prior to adoption of Amendment No. 961, 2019 as the proposal is within 800 metres of a controlled area (i.e. Highway 3).

Recommendation & Alternatives to Staff Recommendation:

Recommendation: That Council choose to support the recommendation.

Alternative 1: That Council choose to refer back to staff for additional information.

Alternative 2: That Council choose not to support the recommendation.

TOWN OF PRINCETON

REPORT TO: Lyle Thomas, Chief Administrative Officer FOR: Regular Meeting

PRESENTED: May 6th, 2019 FILE:

FROM: James Graham, Director of Finance

SUBJECT: 2019 Fees and Charges Bylaw Amendment

Recommendation:

THAT Town of Princeton Fees and Charges Bylaw Amendment (2) Bylaw No. 964, 2019 be given three readings.

1. Purpose:

To amend Schedule “K” of the Fees and Charges Bylaw for compliance with Provincial Legislation.

2. Time Critical:

The amended bylaw is due to be adopted at the May 21st regular meeting of council.

3. Background:

On April 1st, 2019, Consumer Protection BC performed an audit of the Princeton Cemetery. Their report found minor deficiencies that have been corrected already by staff. One of the deficiencies identified has to do with the fees the Town collects on behalf of the Princeton Cemetery Care Fund. This fund is a trust fund mandated by the Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Act to ensure that the Cemetery is always held to a minimal standard as a resting place even if an owner of the Cemetery runs into financial difficulty. Current regulations in place state that the amount of the transfer to the Cemetery Care Fund must be at least 25% of the cost of a burial plot and 10% of many other Cemetery related service the Town provides.

The suggestion by the auditor was to remove references to a dollar amount referenced in the Cemetery Section (Schedule “K”) in the Fees and Charges Bylaw and replace it with the percentage mandated by law. This is the change that is incorporated into this amendment.

2019 Fees and Charges Bylaw Amendment Page 135 of 140 AGENDA ITEM #10.6.

2019 Fees and Charges Bylaw Amendment May 6th Regular Meeting of Council Page 2

4. Financial Implications:

There will be a slight reduction in the amount of revenue booked for the fiscal year as the amount of fees collected remitted on behalf of the Cemetery Care Fund will increase and the amount we charge as a fee for service will decrease, leaving the total charge the same as the current bylaw. The changes included in this bylaw are as follows: Grave space for a non-resident Currently $2,650 with $245 (9%) going to the Cemetery Care Fund Proposed to be $2,650 with $662.50 (25%) going to the Cemetery Care Fund. Cremation for a non-resident Currently $380 with $85 (22%) going to the Cemetery Care Fund Proposed to be $380 with $95 (25%) going to the Cemetery Care Fund.

Ms. Schmidt,

Post Inspection Report – Princeton Cemetery

Consumer Protection BC is the regulatory authority responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act (BPCPA), the Cremation Interment and Funeral Services Act (CIFSA), and the Cremation Interment Funeral Services Regulation (CIFSR).

Together the BPCPA, CIFSA, and CIFSR govern the licensing requirements and conduct of businesses and persons that provide funeral service and direction in the Province of British Columbia.

On April 1st, 2019, an inspection was conducted at your business location. The following alleged contraventions were identified by the Inspector.

Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act

Requirement for schedule of rates

31 (1) A provider must keep at its business premises a price list that

(2) The provider must

(a) display the price list in a place on the business premises that is accessible to members of the public.

Inspection found the cemetery price list was not displayed at the business premises in a manner that is accessible to members of the public.

Ensure the cemetery price list is displayed in an area of the premises that is accessible to members of the public.

Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Regulation

Ensure you include the business address for the cemetery on the cemetery price list.

Required amount of contribution to care funds

20 (2) Except as provided in subsection (3), an operator that has a care fund for a cemetery must, for each right of interment at the cemetery that is sold, make a deposit to that fund of not less than 25% of the selling price of the right of interment.

Inspection found that care fund contributions for some burial plots, as noted on the cemetery price list, did not always appear to contribute a minimum of 25% of the selling price of the plot to the care fund. The non- resident grave space for “adult” and “cremation”, both appear to contribute less than the required 25% minimum of the selling price of the right of interment to the care fund. Ensure all sales of interment plots include a minimum care fund contribution of 25%. Records related to interments 27 (1) An operator of a place of interment must keep a record of each interment that occurs at the place of interment that includes the following: (e) a copy of the burial permit or if the death occurred outside the Province, a copy of the burial permit or other document required under section 22 of the Vital Statistics Act for the burial of the human remains. Inspection found interment records kept by the cemetery operator, did not always included a copy of the burial permit. Ensure all interment records always include a burial permit for each interment that occurs at the cemetery.

Although no enforcement action has been recommended at this time, further failure to comply with the Acts and Regulation can be reported to the Director and may result in administrative monetary penalties, other forms of enforcement action, and/or licensing action.

Please ensure that areas found to be a concern are amended for compliance of the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act and the Cremation Interment Funeral Services Regulation. A follow-up inspection may be conducted to ensure compliance.
