C.1) Quesnel Community and Economic Development Corporation - Bruce Broughton, Vice Chair and Amy Reid, Economic Development Officer

Amy Reid, Economic Development Officer, and Bruce Broughton, Vice Chair, presented the 2014 Quesnel Community and Economic Development Corporation (“QCEDC”) budget and requested $155,000 from Council for this budget. (See Agenda Item D.1 for Recommendation)

Through Council questions, Amy Reid Economic Development Officer confirmed that the strain of extra community transitioning duties, stemming from the CANFOR sawmill closure scheduled for March 2014, has subsided somewhat because of available funding through the Provincial Job Creation Partnership allowing QCEDC to hire a Small Business Coordinator position to assist with community transitioning duties. The Small Business Coordinator position is a term position from February 18, 2014 to September 5, 2014.

Economic Development Officer Reid advised the Grant Writer program has been very helpful and has enabled QCEDC to assist non-profits with a number of grants, especially for the smaller organizations in the area. A few examples of grants currently in progress are the Friendship Centre Expansion/Renovation, the Hallis Lake Community Pasture and the Healthier Communities Committee Plan H.

CITY OF Administration Report No. 19B/14

Original signed by: Acting City Manager Bolton QUESNEL

Administration Report Report Date: February 26th, 2014 Meeting Date: March 10th, 2014

To: City Manager From: Manager of Development Services Subject: Liquor Licence Application for Billy Barker Casino

PURPOSE The Billy Barker Casino is applying for a Liquor Primary Licence for the Casino and the existing attached outdoor smoking patio at the rear of their business. This would allow them to serve alcohol in the casino and smoking patio, as well as within their lounge and other areas that have current Liquor Primary Licences. Public input on the application has been sought and this report is to decide on and provide a Council Resolution in the prescribed form for the Liquor Control and Licencing Branch. SUMMARY  In addition to extensive interior and exterior renovations, the Billy Barker Casino is applying to hold a Liquor Primary Licence in the Casino and abutting smoking patio of their establishment.  Part of the Liquor Control and Licencing Branch review process is a Site and Community Assessment which asks the local government for community input.  Community input was sought with no objections or comments received. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Liquor Control Licencing Branch Policy Directive 11-01 COUNCIL POLICY Official Community Plan Zoning Bylaw STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE N/A FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS N/A BACKGROUND The proposal is for a new Liquor Primary (LP) Licence for casino gaming floor and abutting smoking patio (floor plan showing location of gaming floor and existing outdoor smoking patio is within attachment). The hours of liquor service requested are the same as the gaming hours supported by BC Lottery Corporation (10:00am - 11:30pm Sunday-Thursday; 10:00am-12:30am Friday & Saturday). To assist Council in these considerations and to allow for public comment, Planning Staff referred or notified a number of agencies and organizations as described in the January 20, 2014 report to Council. Page 1 of 3

Administration Report #19B/14 - Primary Liquor License Appli... Page 20 of 56 Notice and referral distribution welcomed written comments as well as attendance at the open Public Meeting in order to voice concerns or comments. No submissions were received and no members of the general public attended the public meeting. Very few agencies or organizations provided a response to the referral package; of the responses received there were no objections, concerns or comments. Council is now asked to provide a resolution to recommend or to not recommend the issuance of the licence, and to provide and explain reasons for the recommendation. Council is asked to provide comments on prescribed considerations. After review and consideration of the application Planning staff have included some general comments on the prescribed items as a starting point and Council are encouraged to add to or change these comments as they feel appropriate. Discussion: Due to the location of the proposed Liquor Primary Licence in an existing establishment that serves liquor in other areas of the building, the impact on the community is expected to be negligible and the proposed resolution reflects this. The only consideration Planning staff anticipated as a potential conflict or detriment was the combination of two activities which are established as having an addictive nature and/or causing harm through addictive or problem behaviours for some individuals. Some research was performed on the aspect of combining alcohol consumption with gambling and there was a lack of strong evidence that showed an increase in problem behaviours or incidence of addiction or gambling addiction. In general it seemed that problem gambling as well as problem alcohol consumption is an issue for some individuals, however casinos or gambling venues are often also locations that serve liquor on site. Liquor consumption and gambling is also considered a pleasurable and social activity for many individuals. The research and materials reviewed did not show such a strong correlation with problem behaviors or an implication that the two activities ought not to be combined at the same venue as a general policy. It is also noted that alcohol has been available within the same building as the Casino under a different Liquor Primary licence, just not previously on the Casino floor. However an individual having to leave the Casino floor for a beverage may have benefited some individuals with (or susceptible to) problem gambling as “taking frequent breaks” is identified as a tip on the BC Responsible and Problem Gambling Program website. Quesnel Mental Health and Addictions were referred on this application and no comments were received as of report writing. It should also be noted that there are regulations in place through the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch where liquor is served in gambling locations. The applicant is working through the process under their Gaming Licence which (should the Liquor Primary licence be granted) still has the overriding authority to approve or not approve the serving of liquor in a gaming establishment. Council are asked to provide comments on the following considerations: a) The location of the establishment b) The proximity of the establishment to other social or recreational facilities and public buildings c) The person capacity and hours of liquor service of the establishment d) The number and market focus or clientele of liquor-primary licence e) The impact of noise on the community in the immediate vicinity of the establishment, and f) The impact on the community if the application is approved.

Amend the recommended Council resolution and comments and proceed 3. Defer or otherwise deal with the request for a Council resolution. RECOMMENDATION THAT Council proceeds with the following Council Resolution and comments regarding the Liquor Primary Licence at the Billy Barker Casino and attached patio: Be it resolved that: 1. The City of Quesnel Council recommends the issuance of the license for the following reasons:  Sufficient efforts were undertaken to gather the views of the public and none were submitted  The impact on the community is expected to be minimal

2. The City of Quesnel Council’s comments on the prescribed considerations are as follows: a) The location of the establishment is centrally located downtown, away from residential areas, and is appropriate b) The proximity of the establishment to other social or recreational facilities and public buildings is not seen as a detriment or to have a negative impact on the area c) The person capacity and hours of liquor service of the establishment are appropriate as they coincide with the established operating hours of the existing Casino d) The number and market focus or clientele of liquor-primary licence are appropriate for the community e) The impact of noise on the community in the immediate vicinity of the establishment is anticipated to have a negligible change at this location f) The impact on the community if the application is approved is anticipated to be negligible. Some positive impacts are anticipated of the increased social opportunities for local individuals and tourists to be able to enjoy liquor consumption during gaming activities. Some negative impacts are anticipated as the increased availability of liquor may compound problem gambling behaviours or problematic alcohol consumption for some individuals. 3. The City of Quesnel Council’s comments on the views of residents are as follows: A public meeting was held on February 24th to gather the views of the public with sufficient notice and advertisement of this meeting, and opportunities were provided for written comments. No residents (with the exception of the applicant) attended the public meeting, nor did any residents provide written comments.

CITY OF Administration Report No. 26/14

Original signed by: Acting City Manager Bolton QUESNEL

Administration Report Report Date: 10 March 2014 Meeting Date: 10 March 2014

To: City Manager From: Director of Public Works and Engineering Subject: Weight Restrictions/Commercial Vehicles

PURPOSE To gain Council’s approval to impose weight restriction on commercial vehicles during “break up 2014” on City streets with the exception of main arterials, industrial and commercial truck routes. SUMMARY On January 30, 2012 Council approved a pilot project to restrict gross vehicle axle weights to 70% of legal load during the same timeframe used by the Ministry of Transportation (MOT) on Hydraulic Road. The purpose of the weight restrictions is to protect these streets from major damage which can occur as the frost is coming out of the ground (March/April). STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS That City Council pass a resolution for the third year of this pilot project. If successful, a bylaw could be created to address weight restrictions in the future. COUNCIL POLICY STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE To extend the life of City assets and infrastructure. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There will be minimal costs to the City for advertising. By extending the life of residential streets, savings will be substantial. BACKGROUND Weight restrictions were put in place on City streets for the past two years. The restrictions were in place for all of March and most of April 2012, and 2013. In previous years when there were no restrictions, there were cases of extreme damage to City streets. Very few calls or complaints were received in 2012/2013 regarding the weight restrictions. The following is a list of the streets which would not have weight restrictions imposed on them:  Rome Avenue  McLeod Avenue  Commons Avenue  Brownmiller Road

Page 1 of 2

Administration Report #26/14 - Weight Restrictions/Commercia... Page 33 of 56  Pinecrest Road  Quesnel Hixon Road  Carradice Road  Campbell Crescent  Northstar Road (north of Highway 97 south)  Sword Avenue  Carson Pit Road  Elliott Street  North Fraser Drive  Moffat Drive Approach  Marsh Drive  Anderson Drive  West Fraser Road  Johnston Bridge Loop  Johnston Avenue (west of traffic circle to City boundary) These roads are the industrial connectors and are built to a higher standard than typical residential streets. Enforcement during the third year of this pilot project would be through education and correspondence with truckers. Fax’s would be send out to all local commercial truckers that often service residential areas in the City. If and when a bylaw is in place for break-up 2015, authority needs to be given to Bylaw Enforcement or the Director of Public Works & Engineering or designate to direct suspected overweight vehicles to a certified scale facility. If the vehicle is overweight, fines comparable to these used by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Authority would be imposed by the City. ATTACHMENTS The ad that was placed in local newspapers for the 2013 restrictions. CONCURRENCE This matter has been discussed with Bylaw Enforcement, City Manager. OPTIONS (1) That City Council pass a resolution to impose 70% legal axle loading weight restrictions on all municipal roads except those mentioned above during the same time frame used by the Ministry of Transportation on Hydraulic Road. The resolution would cover 2014 only. That council direct staff to develop a corresponding bylaw to be submitted at a subsequent meeting.

(2) That City Council take no action on this matter.

RECOMMENDATION That City Council pass a resolution to impose 70% legal axle loading weight restrictions on all municipal roads except those mentioned above during the same time frame used by the Ministry of Transportation on Hydraulic Road. The resolution would cover 2014 only. That council direct staff to develop a corresponding bylaw for following years to be submitted at a subsequent meeting.
