City of Campbell Report To Council River File No.: 2009-06-01
TO: City Manager FROM: Manager, Information Services DATE: July 16, 2009 SUBJECT: City Hall Meridian Phone System Upgrade
Recommendation: That Council approves the withdrawal of $50,800 (rounded) from the Equipment Replacement - Computer Reserve to cover the equipment and installation costs of the upgrade to the City Hall Meridian 1 PBX 11C Phone Switch and Meridian Voice Mail System, and that the General Manager, Financial Services is authorized to amend the 2009 Financial Plan as required.
Background:
Sixteen years ago, our current telephone switch (a Meridian Switch) was installed at City Hall. Since then we had one minor software upgrade to the switch.
Since the switch was installed, we purchased a yearly equipment maintenance contract. Basically, the equipment maintenance contract required Telus to repair or replace components of the system if and when they needed to be repaired or failed. Telus spent a lot of time and resources in order to bring us back up and operational again. It should be noted, that as long as Telus enters into an equipment maintenance contract with us, they are required to keep replacement parts and supplies for our equipment. As our system is considered a "legacy" system, Tel us is no longer willing to enter into the same equipment maintenance contract as before.
For the 2009 year, due to the age of our telephone switch, Telus has now inserted what is called a "Best Effort Clause" into our agreement. This new section to the agreement reads:
"TELUS shall provide maintenance and support on equipment deemed either Manufacture Discontinued or End of Life by the manufacturer by using reasonable efforts to replace defective component parts with like equipment. Reasonable efforts for the purpose of this clause shall mean TELUS for a period of 2 business days shall search all known available sources for a replacement part. If a replacement part cannot be found within this time frame, the Customer will be advised that there is a requirement to upgrade to current technology."
As some members of Council may recall, we had some significant issues with our Telephone Switch and Voice Mail system last year. In October, 2008 our Meridian Voice Mail System experienced a significant hardware failure. It was three and one half days from the initial hardware crash before the Voice Mail system was once again operational. All stored voice mail was lost and staff productivity loss was 4 days. In May, 2009 the Meridian Voice Mail System backup device experienced a hardware issue, which has since been rectified, where the backup tapes were compromised. Backups for this outdated system are an operational challenge.
Previous to our difficulties in 2008, in May 2006, we experienced a power supply failure on our City Hall Meridian Switch. Staff productivity loss was 1 day.

City of tati,CampbellRiver
Our existing system does not support current and future business needs to:
• Supply additional service lines for the Emergency Operations Centre on the switch. • Display the names of outside callers on the handsets. • Support Voice Over IP technology. We now run both data and voice lines. • Easily manage basic business functions such as adding new voice mail accounts, re- setting mailbox passwords and managing the size of voice mailbox. • Retire outdated phone switch equipment over time by consolidation of a number of our existing phone switches. Options: Given the situation we face due to advanced equipment age, Council has the following options to consider for the City Hall Phone System: • Option 1: Upgrade the Phone Switch and Voice Mail System for a price of $50,739.61 for an extended working Life of 5 - 7 years. a Option 2: Replace the City Hall Phone Switch and Voice Mail System for a price of $300,000 and have a working life of 10 Years. • Option 3: Status Quo. Accept the Maintenance Contract with Best Effort Clause with the possibility of still being required to upgrade for a price of $52,489.61 and an extended working Life of 5 - 7 years and with a minimum down time of 10 days.
Discussion on Option 1: Upgrade the Phone Switch and Voice Mail System for a price of $50,739.61 and an extended working life of 5 - 7 years
The existing City Hall phone desksets cost $300.00 - $600.00 depending upon set features and will be compatible with the proposed hardware upgrade, a considerable saving to the City. The City has several phone line cards for direct in dial phone lines which are able to be reused.
If we have a hardware failure of any kind on the Meridian Switch and hardware replacement parts are not able to be found within 2 business days by Telus, these are the consequences:
• City Hall will have no desk phone or faxing services. During the 2 days of the Telus search for parts/equipment, we will have only Blackberry and Cell Phone services and a single emergency line coming into City Hall reception. • After 2 days, the City will be forced to pay the $50,739.61 and also we will have to wait at least eight more days until Telus can either assemble all the software and hardware for the upgrade and find and free up the needed technical staff skilled with our particular upgrade.
Detailed Costs (Please see attached quote from Telus for the proposed upgrade) $ 47,395.61 Telus Hardware, Software and Implementation Costs $ 1,344.00 New "Power Over Ethernet" Switch for Community Centre Switch Failover $ 2,000.00 Overtime Costs for IT staff to check all phone services after the upgrade $ 50,739.61 Total
Discussion on Option 2: Replace the City Hall Phone Switch and Voice Mail System for a price of $300,000 and for a working life of 10 Years.
A completely new phone system at City Hall, including hardware, software, implementation, training and replacement of the majority of the existing desksets can reasonably be expected to cost $250,000 - $300,000. Technology is changing at a much greater pace in 2009 than
Page 2 of 4 Page 8 of 82
City of Campbell River
it was in 1993, so 10 years is a realistic expected service life for the new equipment. In the trying economic times Campbell River currently faces, this is not a viable economic option at this time.
Discussion on Option 3: Status Quo. Accept the Maintenance Contract with Best Effort Clause for a price of $52,489.61with an extended working life of 5 - 7 Years and with a minimum of 10 Days Downtime.
When we experienced the power supply failure on our City Hall Meridian Switch Telus replaced it the same day. As a result, staff productivity loss was limited to 1 day. In the worst case scenario under the Best Effort Clause with spare parts not able to be found by Tel us in 2 business days, we can expect the City Hall Phone System to be out of commission realistically for 10 days.
Detailed Costs (Please see attached quote from Telus for the proposed upgrade) $ 1,750.00 Staff Costs to man the single line phone and dispatch messages $ 47,395.61 Telus Hardware, Software and Implementation Costs $ 1,344.00 New "Power Over Ethernet" Switch for Community Centre Switch Failover $ 2,000.00 Overtime Costs for IT staff to check all services after the upgrade $ 52,489.61 Total Communication: With good planning, the upgrade can be completed over one week-end without any disruption to staff and be transparent to the public. Visitors to City Hall and staff will be notified of the date of the downtime and duration of the any service disruption, if a short one is required.
Conclusion:
There is a balance of $84,659 in the Equipment Replacement - Computer Reserve that can cover the cost of the upgrade to the City Phone Switch and Voice Mail System. Given that the most cost effective option is an upgrade of the existing Phone System at City Hall, we would direct the work to Telus.
Hardware and Software upgrades will extend the existing switch service life 5 - 7 years with full software and hardware maintenance. Telus have indicated that portions of the existing Phone Switch configuration will still be usable at the end of this period, but that the majority of the handsets will need to be replaced at that time.
The City Hall Phone System for voice, voice mail and fax communications internally and with residents of the City is critical to City Operations. The age of the existing system creates an unacceptable business risk to City operations. The City will gain at least the following with the upgrade:
• New Voice Mail System which will be much easier for staff to use for setting up new user mailboxes, resetting user mailbox passwords, adjusting mail storage limits, cleaning up old messages, etc. • New Phone Switch features will include the ability to identify by name and number all outside callers. Lack of this feature in the current switch is a major inconvenience for staff. • Calls to other City facilities can be transferred from within City Hall after the upgrade. Being required to call an additional number is a major inconvenience to outside callers at this time. The system will be Voice Over IP enabled reducing communications line installation.
Page 3 of 4 Page 9 of 82 City of Campbell k River At the time of the upgrade the Community Centre will be set-up with a Survival Remote Gateway (SRG) that will make it the temporary back-up phone switch for City Hall in case of failure while repairs are underway.
Given our current and foreseeable economic constraints, Option 1 which it to upgrade the phone switch and voice mail system for a price of $50,739.61 and with an extended working life of 5 - 7 years is the most prudent approach.

BRITISH COLUMBIA 1Gsr St1?to - - BRITISH GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES 1 COLUMBIA bawd ^ I rw^r' The Rest Place on Earth OFFICE
To: Distribution List June 30, 2009
Greetings-
You are likely aware that the Washington State Board on Geographic Names and the British Columbia Geographical Names Office received a proposal to adopt the name "Salish Sea" to describe the inland waters adjacent to Washington State and southwest British Columbia. The proposal is to add the name "Salish Sea" as a collective or umbrella-name to encompass Puget Sound, Strait of Georgia, Juan de Fuca Strait (Canada)/Strait of Juan de Fuca (USA), and their connecting channels, straits and passages, rather than remove or replace any existing place names.
These waters form a portion of the international boundary between Canada and the United States, hence federal naming authorities will also deliberate on whether to approve, deny, or defer the decision to adopt the name "Salish Sea" for national and international purposes. To avoid any confusion that would result from overlapping consultation processes, and to reduce the administrative burden on all parties, the four jurisdictions have agreed to share a single questionnaire, and use the British Columbia Geographical Names Office in Victoria as the single distribution and receiving point for all results.
We request your comments to help us gauge public support for the proposal to adopt the name "Salish Sea" and to determine the extent to which the name is already established and used by communities in the region. A map and information about the proposal has been included, to assist you in providing comments. Your reply is requested by July 31, 2009. Between August and late autumn, each Board and naming authority will meet and review the responses received from you or the group you represent. Any resulting decisions to adopt, deny or defer approval of the name "Salish Sea" will be based on conformance with established geographical naming principles, including comments received through this consultation process.
Thank you for your interest and participation in the naming process. R ECEIVED JUL 0 6 2009 Office of the Mayor City of Campbell River

"Salish Sea" proposal
We request your comments to help us gauge public support for a proposal to adopt the name "Salish Sea." A map and information about the proposal is included to assist you in making comments.
The proponent describes this entity as an estuarine inland sea that is distinct from the Pacific Ocean to the west of Juan de Fuca Strait (Canada)/Strait of Juan de Fuca (USA) and the marine waters north of Strait of Georgia: salinity, tidal patterns and climate create habitat conditions that support plant, animal & marine species unique or limited to the inland sea area - an integral ecological unit that should have its own distinct name. Further, the proponent maintains that the name "Salish Sea" is becoming established in the region, and cites the Tribes and First Nations who meet in the annual Coast Salish Gathering, the participants at the Georgia Basin Puget Sound Research Conferences (co-hosted by Environment Canada and Puget Sound Action Committee) and assorted community groups throughout the region, as important populations that routinely use the name "Salish Sea".
The proponent also identifies improved ecosystem management as a compelling reason to adopt the name "Salish Sea," however, it is important to note that adoption of this or any name does not imply protection, or obligate agencies to manage the entity being named. The single outward evidence of adoption of this name might be the addition of a label on maps, charts & atlases produced by provincial, state and federal governments.
O I was not aware of the name "Salish Sea" before 2009.
0 1 agree with the proposal E I oppose this proposal 0 I have no objection to this proposal
Comments: (please attach an additional sheet if necessary)
Please sign and return to the British Columbia Geographical Names Office by July 31, 2009. If no response is received by this date we will assume that you have no opinion about this proposal.

Attention: Bill Halstead City Clerk I General Manager Corporate and Protective Service
Dear Sirs:
Re: Five Year Financial Plan Bylaw No. 3382 (the "Financial Plan Bylaw") and Tax Rates Bylaw No. 3383 (the "Tax Bylaw") Adopted May 12, 2009 - 2009 Property Taxes - 4405 Island Highway - PID 001-233-432 (the "Property") - Registered Owner - Elk Falls Pulp & Paper Limited ("Elk Falls") -Lease in favour of Island Cogeneration No.2 Inc. ("Island Cogeneration") - Island Cogeneration Portion of Property Taxes
Pursuant to section 286 ofthe Local Government Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 323 this letter constitutes notice in writing to the City ofCampbell River ("Campbell River") that Island Cogeneration will bring an action under the Rules of Court of the Supreme Court of British Columbia and a Petition under the Judicial Review Procedure Act, R.S.B.C. 1996 c. 241 for: 1. An order and declaration quashing and setting aside as void or, in the alternative, voidable, that part of the Financial Plan Bylaw that contemplates an increase in the tax rate for Class 2 Utilities and that part of the Tax Bylaw that sets the tax rate for Class 2 Utilities; and 2. An order and declaration quashing and setting aside the 2009 Property Tax notice issued by Campbell River and addressed to Elk Falls as to the portion for Class 2 Utilities attributable to Island Cogeneration. The grounds for the Petition include that the Financial Plan Bylaw and the Tax Bylaw are ultra vires and ofno force and effect as: 1. The Financial Plan Bylaw and Tax Bylaw were enacted in a manner contrary to the duty of fairness and the rules of natural justice;
2. Campbell River acted improperly by holdings meetings and discussions regarding the Financial Plan Bylaw and Tax Bylaw in-camera contrary to section 89 of the Community Charter! which requires meetings to be open to the public;
3. The Financial Plan Bylaw was enacted contrary to section 166 of the Communitlj Charter, which requires "public consultation regarding [a] proposed financial plan before it is adopted";
Page 30 of 82 ISLAND COGENERATION
4. Campbell River acted improperly by appointing, in-camera, a Financial Task Force on Major Industry Tax Reduction (the "Task Force") to advise on the proposed bylaws and permitting the Task Force to hold meetings and discussions, in-camera, in respect of matters relating to the proposed bylaws;
5. Campbell River acted in bad faith by enacting the Financial Plan Bylaw and Tax Bylaw thereby increasing the tax rate for Class 2 Utilities in excess of 55% without notice to or consultation with Island Cogeneration, who is the sole ratepayer affected by the increase;
6. Campbell River acted unreasonably in enacting the Financial Plan Bylaw and the Tax Bylaw; and
7. Such other grounds as counsel may advise.
As a result, the 2009 Property Taxes for which Island Cogeneration has been assessed is $1,480,971.56. This amount reflects an increase of $532,971.54 from the taxes assessed for 2008 despite no change in the assessed value ofthe land.
Yours truly,
ISLAND COGENERATION NO.

File No.: Bylaw File No. 3384
TO: Mayor & Council FROM: Peter Wipper, Manager, Legislative Services/Deputy City Clerk DATE: June 20, 2009 SUBJECT: Cemetery Amendment Bylaw No. 3384, 2009
Recommendation: THAT Cemetery Amendment Bylaw No. 3384, 2009 be given first, second and third readings.
Background: In 2004, the provincial government passed new legislation that replaced the "Cemetery Act" and created the "Cremation, Interment, and Funeral Services Act". The BC Consumer Protection Authority is mandated to ensure that funeral service providers adhere to the provisions of the act. As a result, the City was inspected by the authority on its cemetery practises & operations. Some of the deficiencies that were highlighted included the need to update the City's cemetery bylaw to "refer to current and applicable legislation" and that the interment licence (Schedule "A") required reworking to bring it in line with new consumer protection legislation.
Discussion: While looking into these housekeeping items, it was noted that the fees have not been updated since 2006, and it was decided that with the increasing costs of inflation the fees (Schedule "C") should be increased based on the Canadian Consumer Price Index (CPI), which would result in an increase of 4.5% over the current rates.

Dear Richard;
RE: Industrial Property Taxes
I am writing on behalf of the 80,000 members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees in British Columbia on an issue of grave concern to our members.
CUPE members believe in communities. We live, work, volunteer, pay taxes and join in activities to strengthen our communities.
The failure of Catalyst Paper, Zellstoff Celgar and others to pay the property taxes they legally owe threatens the health, well-being and sustainability of communities around BC and our members who live there; communities that have been a tremendous source of wealth for all British Columbians. This is unacceptable.
These actions are a direct threat to the ability of democratically elected local governments to represent and act on behalf of their communities.
The pressure on public services in these resource dependent communities will be relentless.
I encourage the UBCM to make this issue an immediate priority and support these communities and other stakeholders, including senior levels of government in finding a solution.
I would be pleased to discuss this matter with you further. You can also contact CUPE's Local Government Liaison Heather Inglis though my office.
