Subject Protective Services Monthly Board Report Month June 2021

Columbia Valley Fire

There has been an increase in Motor Vehicle Incidents within Kootenay National Park, some very serious. The incidents are resulting in traffic being backed up through Hwy 93/95.

New recruit training is nearing completion, with good results from the candidates. We have three more requests from individuals in Fairmont showing interest in joining the department.

Elk Valley South Country Fire

Training remains mainly face to face, with some virtual training when it is suitable.

Jaffray Fire Department has responded to a number of set fires at the Tie Lake Transfer Station. These fires are concerning due to the potential for injury to the public, injury to a firefighter, or the fire progressing into uncontrolled wildfire.

Generally, incident numbers for our area continue to be low due to a variety of contributing factors: COVID-19 protocols, good travel conditions, limited back country recreation, and less than ideal burning conditions.

Jaffray has one new recruit firefighter to report. Staffing levels remain a concern.

East Kootenay Emergency Management Program (EKEMP)

Regional Emergency Operations Center (REOC) The REOC is activated at Level 2 in support of Fairmont Hot Springs, due to debris flooding on Coldspring and Fairmont Creeks. A major rain event on May 24 resulted in the accumulation of debris in the creek systems, prompting an Evacuation Alert for 229 addresses. The Alert remains in effect due to the reduced capacity in the debris traps.

Freshet Current snowpack levels are slightly below normal, but could change depending on weather between now and early July. Sandbag supplies are staged and available across the region, with sandbag stations set up for preparedness purposes.

COVID-19 Cases are declining across BC and over 65% of adults in BC have received their first dose of the vaccine. Anyone aged 12 and older may now register to receive a vaccine. BC has issued a new 4 Step Restart Plan - currently in Step 1 – and we are starting to see some of the restrictions being relaxed.

Emergency Support Services (ESS) Program Delivery As we progress through the transition, existing ESS volunteers continue to sign on with the Canadian Red Cross (CRC) renewing their commitment to the ESS program. Additionally, we have a number new recruits registering to be ESS volunteers with the CRC. Recruitment drives are planned for the Fall.

Emergency Management Training The EKEMP hosted an EMBC Finance and Claims Process review session on May 20, 2021 that was virtually attended by CFOs and finance staff from across the region.

Evacuation Route Planning A project partners meeting was held on May 20, 2021 to discuss scope and deliverables for the Evacuation Route Planning project. The Request for Proposals will be issued at the end of May.

FireSmart The RDEK Fire Smart program is led by the temporary Wildfire Resiliency Supervisor position. Staff have awarded two service contracts for Local Fire Smart Representative services and are actively re-engaging with communities. A Communications Plan has been prepared and initiated; staff anticipate an increase in neighborhood Fire Smart activity due to the added advertising of our program. The RDEK continues to collaborate with the province to see Fuel Reduction projects completed adjacent to at- risk communities across the East Kootenay region.

File No: Shk 065 001 Date May 31, 2021 Author Shawn Tomlin, CAO Subject Angel Flight – Request to Accelerate Grant Payments

REQUEST Consider prepayment of part of the grant approved for Angel Flight East Kootenay (Angel Flight).

OPTIONS 1. THAT the five-year, $500,000 grant to Angel Flight East Kootenay be paid on the following schedule: 2021 - $300,000 2022 - $50,000 2023 - $50,000 2024 - $50,000 2025 - $50,000

2. THAT the request from Angel Flight East Kootenay to accelerate payment of their approved grant to include a $300,000 payment in 2021 be denied.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS Attached is a request from Angel Flight to receive the majority of their approved $500,000 grant in 2021 to enable the purchase of an aircraft. The grant of $100,000 per year for five years was approved by the Board to enable the purchase of a pressurized aircraft certified to fly in icing conditions, with the expectation that Angel Flight would be able to finance the purchase and make payments with the revenue stream from the RDEK. Angel Flight has been unable to obtain the required financing, and is now requesting that $300,000 of the funds be paid in 2021 to complete the purchase without borrowing.

SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS Financial - Taxation In order to maintain the taxation as $100,000 each year, the payment could be treated as a pre-payment of the future years’ grants. While this is not a common practice, a similar approach was used for grants for the purchase of Lot 48 in Fairmont, to enable a one-time contribution that was then funded through taxation over a number of years. Risk Management If funding is being contributed up-front rather than over a longer period of the service, it will be all the more important to apply due diligence in ensuring the funds are used for the continued provision of the Angel Flight services. As such, the funding agreement would include terms requiring adequate insurance and providing security that funds would be returned to the RDEK if the aircraft is sold or Angel Flight services are discontinued. Attachment

Page 1 of 1 Page 14 of 99

-----Original Message----- From: Angel Flight East Kootenay Sent: May 28, 2021 12:07 PM To: Shawn Tomlin Subject: Angel Funding Request

We have been trying to finance the purchase of a suitable aircraft using the RDEK plan of $100,000 a year.

The bank we spoke to would not finance the total purchase price and would not lend money to pay the taxes.

Our five year financial plan revealed that having covered all cost associated with the purchase and allowing for the annual fixed costs to run the aircraft we could only support and pay off a loan that was not enough to cover purchasing an aircraft this year. We then tried to raise extra capital and have had some success with Teck and CBT (still to be confirmed) A further complication is that CBT and the bank will only advance funds after we have a confirmed deal on a specific aircraft and this results in a lag of several weeks before we can pay for the aircraft which may prove to be a problem.

Therefore we are asking for a restructuring in the RDEK grant to $300,000 this year and $50,000 in the remaining 4 years. This will allow us to go ahead with the purchase of the aircraft this year and being operational this winter. It also means we will not require a bank loan and a considerable saving in interest to the bank which can now be used to support the operation.

Further, we are planning on opening a separate account for the RDEK money to be paid into and a very clear and simple way to track and see were that money has gone. If we could limit the required audit to that account we could also make a considerable saving in audit costs over the period.

1 Virtual for delegations if they wish, board members must attend in person

2 We spent a lot of money to minimize risk. We should be using the Board Room!

3 I believe the board functions more cohesively when in person I think for anyone feeling ill, or unable to travel virtual should always be an option going forward. 4 In person however in a post covid world is something to look forward to. Allow for virtual attendance with permission of the chair when there are extenuating circumstances impacting the directors' ability to attend in person (ie weather and others barriers 5 to driving to Cranbrook) vacation and family emergencies should not be reasons for attending online. Vacation is vacation and in most cases a family emergency should require the director's full attention. provide an option for virtual when a board member is exhibiting symptoms of cold...although we 6 should be encouraging use of alternates!!! directors can participate electronically but this should be the exception and section 3.9 of 7 procedure by‐law should apply With my wife unwell I am grateful to have the option of attending virtually. I certainly prefer 8 person to person

1 Virtual for delegations if they wish, board members must attend in person. There is always a lot of good information shared between committee meetings. This is lost in the 2 virtual format 3 Again, not sure which bullet to choose as none of them capture the In person with virtual option. Allow for virtual attendance with permission of the chair when there are extenuating circumstances impacting the directors' ability to attend in person (ie weather and others barriers 4 to driving to Cranbrook) vacation and family emergencies should not be reasons for attending online. Vacation is vacation and in most cases a family emergency should require the director's full attention. As above. I prefer to have these monthly Board days person to person . I finfd it important to have the opportunity for direct contact with other directors before after and during the breaks 5 between committees and it is also important to me to meet with Staff while I am in Cranbrook Just to be there together at the meetings along with the opportunity to speak to any of the staff between committee meetings important

1 Virtual for delegations if they wish.

2 the public should make this choice there choice Virtual has worked OK for delegations, with the exception of the variance presentations. They 3 should be in person. 4 For some virtual works mainly consultants but I see a lot of ordinary people struggle.

5 Again, giving delegations 100% opportunity to be virtual is important. Members of the public should be provided with this option as it improves access. Travel distance 6 and work schedules can present a barrier for members of the public to be heard in matters that are important to them. local delegations should be encourage to attend in person however those needing to travel can 7 use virtural. Virtual allows out of town or province delegations a hearing without the expense of travel 8 which can be onerous 9 Zoom gives delegates an option if travelling to the RDEK Cranbrook is difficult

1 saves a lot of travel for a short meeting

2 Virtual public hearing limit public participation.

3 It works better in my opinon

4 For this one, all in person or all virtual. The blend doesn't work. Members of the public should be provided with this option as it improves access. Travel distance and work schedules can present a barrier for members of the public to be heard in matters that 5 are important to them. Though efficiently managing a hybrid format may require additional staff support and technology in the locations. For that reason I would support a Stay Virtual format as well. 6 no hybrid ‐ virtual or in person.

7 I

8 I prefer in person. which I believe encourages participation.

# Please share any comments the APC members like to meet in person if one member could not attend in person they could 1 zoom or dial in. 2 I would like the option of both. Winter time works well because of driving I would offer APC members the option however; the chair would need to be comfortable with 3 managing a hybrid meeting which can be more problematic. Area G members are split 3 person to person and the 2 virtual who appreciate not having to travel. One member from Brisco has poor internet and attending by phone in a Zoom meeting 4 has been very difficult for him. Those favouring person to person cited the importance of the in person dynamics and the sense of meeting as a commission which is diminished in the Zoom venu has I prefer in person although the members were split on this. one member has great difficulry with 5 zoom because of poor internet service in the area.

1 Virtual for delegations in they wish.

2 let them make there own choice you can have a computer at the meeting both would work

3 I would like option of both Applicants should be provided with this option as it improves access. Travel distance and work 4 schedules can present a barrier for applicants to be heard in matters that are important to them. members must all be able to see and hear the presenter. Meeting locations must be set up to 5 accomode or delegatiion should be in personuld f y otoabchair local should appear The question of travel to attend in person comes up For instance at our last APC meeting 3 6 delegations were attending from Alberta and I am sure they were grateful theu could make their presentations via Zoom. I think it is impotant here to have the option for delegations. 7 Should be optional..Very difficult for some out of region delegates to attend (distance, ,time)

1 nothing like a good face to face Again, giving delegations the opportunity to choose. It might mean we receive more opportunity 2 with orders of government post covid. 3 again our goal is to have locals attend in person, those needing to travel can appear virtually. While I appreciate meeting them in person, giving them the option should make it easier for 4 them to attend. 5 Likely get more timely presence if virtual

3 works better for those that are not tech savy

4 Blend again If there are multiple opportunities or a need for public consultation offer at least one 5 opportunity for virtual otherwise make them all in person. 6 provide options to encourage maximum participation

7 written commnets on policy direction also acceptable. Survey work should be electronic.

RECOMMENDATION Option 1

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS This year, 125 proposals were submitted to the Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Programs. Each proposal was reviewed to ensure it was complete and met the Program qualifications. Two proposals were withdrawn and two proposals did not meet the eligibility requirements leaving 121 proposals in total. District of Elkford, Electoral Area G, Village of Radium Hot Springs and Village of Canal Flats were undersubscribed.

The community involvement meetings did not take place again this year due to the COVID- 19 pandemic and concerns for public safety. Although the public meetings were not held an electronic engagement website for the public to comment on submitted proposals was created. The engagement site provided an opportunity for the public to review the proposals and provide comments to specific areas. There were over 3,100 unique visits to the engagement site between March 1 and 23, 2021. The 2021 survey received a 136% increase in respondents over the 2020 survey with 1,146 comments compared to 2020’s 486. All comments were forwarded to the areas to assist with their adjudication of the proposals.

Attached are the following reports for Board consideration:

 2021/2022 Funding Recommendations Report;  2021/2022 Funding Allocations by Area Report; and  2021/2022 Funding Allocations Report.

REQUEST Consider the request to reallocate $1,869.89 towards the purchase of goalie gear for the girls hockey team.

OPTIONS 1. THAT the Elk Valley Minor Hockey Association’s request to reallocate a portion of their 2020/2021 Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Program grant towards the purchase of goalie gear for the girls hockey team be approved.

2. THAT the Elk Valley Minor Hockey Association’s request to reallocate a portion of their 2020/2021 Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Program grant towards the purchase of goalie gear for the girls hockey team be denied.

Hi Nikki Our original project was Elk Valley Minor Hockey - female team jerseys Our intake year was 2020 We were able to purchase 1 set of jerseys, it was brought to our attention after we had applied that we were able to apply through the McAdams program to get a second set of jerseys at no cost to the association so we applied for that as well. and were successful. This left us with remaining funds from RDEK/CBT We are hoping to use these funds to purchase goalie gear for our female program. Jenn Stevens has been trying very hard to build a program that is a safe place for females to learn the sport of hockey Having goalie gear would be a huge asset to helping this program grow, and be able to have a full team that we can take to games (when they are allowed again) The project will be completed by September of this year as we will need to have the gear in place to start the season, but can be completed sooner if needed Please let me know if you have any other questions Thanks Justine

File No: P 151 090 Date May 27, 2021 Author Andrew McLeod, Development Services Manager Subject Vessel Restrictions – St. Mary River

REQUEST Consider the letter received from the Ktunaxa Nation Council (KNC).

OPTIONS 1. THAT a report be prepared outlining the process necessary to enact a vessel operation restriction regulation for consideration in relation to future project priorities.

2. THAT the Ktunaxa Nation Council be advised that the RDEK is not prepared to undertake a vessel operation restriction regulation application at this time.

RECOMMENDATION Option 1. Because the issue of boating regulations is occasionally raised in relation to local lakes and rivers, a full understanding of the process to apply for such a regulation and the responsibilities associated with sponsoring such a regulation will help the Board determine how to deal with present and future requests.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS Since 2019, the RDEK has periodically heard from area residents and others about their desire for vessel operation restrictions on the St. Mary River. Such a regulation is enacted by the federal government under the Canada Shipping Act. Only certain entities, such as local or provincial governments, can apply to have such a regulation enacted, and then become responsible for certain aspects of its implementation, including regulatory signage. Much upfront work is required before a regulation can even be applied for. Last summer, it was my understanding that a group of concerned local residents had formed and were preparing a detailed plan to undertake the work necessary to apply for such a regulation, and that this plan was going to be presented to the Board along with their request to have the RDEK sponsor the regulation. The recent letter from the KNC raises the issue of if the RDEK would undertake and lead such an application process, or sponsor a community group who would undertake the work to make such an application, or does not wish to be involved at this time.

2. That meetings be scheduled in conjunction with the 2021 UBCM Convention as outlined in the May 31, 2021 Request for Decision, with the following changes: .

RECOMMENDATION Option 1

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The deadline to submit meeting requests is June 30, 2021.

2021 UBCM Convention Meeting Requests Speaking Notes DRAFT

Topic: Maintenance Funding for Disaster Mitigation Infrastructure in Communities with Low Population Density. Cabinet Minister: Honourable Mike Farnworth Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Background Information: Disaster mitigation infrastructure is capitalized through a variety of grants and funding streams and borrowing tools, however the ability to fund the maintenance of the infrastructure in areas with low populations can be cost prohibitive for the residential tax payer despite the fact that the area requiring the protection and ongoing maintenance is a significant and popular tourism destination attracting visitors from all over the world and contributing towards the provincial economy annually. We know that when we report a state of local emergency and news stations pick up the story the area directly impacted may be small but tourism throughout the entire Columbia Valley is impacted. We also know that 70 – 80% of new residents and investors are visitors to our area first (src. Kootenay Rockies Tourism) which suggests an even greater economic dependence on tourism and the safety of visitors. There are two areas: 1. Fairmont Flood and Landslide: This year Director Consent was required to increase service area funding by over 300%, which fortunately was less than it would have been without the Adaptation & Resilience Disaster Mitigation Program (Invest in Canada Infrastructure Program) funding. 2. Windermere Creek: we know there is a disaster in waiting based upon hydrology reports dating back to 2012 however with less than 50 residential properties potentially directly impacted we are unable to create a service area. To fund the maintenance of the recommended mitigation infrastructure it will be cost prohibitive for the residential tax payer in the area. Lives and property could be lost and a local economy damaged due to our lack of maintenance funding mechanisms. And instead EMBC will fund the clean up of events to the tune of $500,000/event which would more than cover the cost of several years of maintenance. Request: Provide a revenue source for local government to fund ongoing maintenance of critical public safety and disaster mitigation infrastructure through Emergency Management BC as preventative funding instead of response funding. Priority Rating: Directors to Attend: Chair Gay, Director Clovechok Meeting Spokesperson: Director Clovechok

Topic: Tourism Infrastructure Funding for Electoral Area A Cabinet Minister: Honourable Melanie Mark Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport Background Information: The Elk Valley is an outstanding four-season area where high volumes of adventure seekers, mountain enthusiasts, and outdoor recreationists of all kinds come to experience the natural surroundings and range of outdoor activities. Resort municipalities receive funding to support basic infrastructure within their communities, whereas the electoral areas have no funding source. Typically, the

majority of the outdoor activities are experienced outside the boundaries of the municipalities and the basic infrastructure, such as such as washrooms, garbage cans, parking lots and signage cannot be maintained because of inadequate funding. Currently the RDEK is working in partnership with Tourism Fernie on a Sustainable Tourism Study that will assess the impact of the tourism in the Electoral Area A of the Elk Valley. The study will be finalized by September 2021 and will identify the need for sustainable funding to support degrading and heavily used basic infrastructure and include anticipated financials. Request: A revenue stream to support sustainable infrastructure. Priority Rating: 1 Directors to Attend: Chair Gay, Director Sosnowski Meeting Spokesperson: Directors Sosnowski

Topic: Financial Assistance for Emergency Response Costs (EMBC) Ministry Staff: Emergency Management BC Background Information: The implementation of the draft Financial Assistance for Emergency Response Costs September 2020, a Guide for First Nations and Local Authorities will have profound, long-lasting, operational and financial impacts on the RDEK and other local governments across BC. The RDEK has serious concerns with many changes proposed in this document that do not support local government nor seem to align with current legislation. Given that the Emergency Program Act (Act) is currently under review and modernization, consideration that the Act not be drafted to fit the Financial Assistance Guidelines, but rather the Financial Assistance Guidelines should work with and complement the modernized Act. Request: The RDEK requests that due to the lack of local government involvement during the development of the new Financial Assistance for Emergency Response Costs – A Guide for First Nations and Local Authorities, that the draft guidelines be set aside and a truly collaborative process with UBCM, local governments, and EMBC be initiated to develop a new and equitable guideline for both EMBC and local governments, aligned with a modernized Emergency Program Act.

Topic: BC Hydro Pole Rental Sales Ministry Staff: Honourable Lisa Beare Minister of Citizens' Services Background Information: Rural local governments are constantly working towards supporting the long-term growth of our communities. A key enabler to achieve this goal is the ability to connect government and social service offices, businesses and homes in our regions to high- speed broadband networks. As such, access to wireless infrastructure is critical for our region to engage in numerous aspects of the digital economy. Deploying broadband networks to rural and remote areas is a massive undertaking, and often relies on the availability and costs of access to utility poles. Internet service providers usually work with BC Hydro as the owner of the poles in order to extend their broadband networks. The rental rates to access the poles is often excessive and can stop a broadband provider from being able to provide service to an area. Request: The RDEK requests that a collaborative approach with BC Hydro is needed to develop a fair distribution of costs, which would help to support viable business models for private investment in broadband infrastructure.

Topic: BC Ambulance Rural Service Ministry Staff: Honourable Adrian Dix Minister of Health and Minister responsible for Francophone Affairs Background Information: It has been a long standing concern that rural BC is under serious paramedic shortage and it is worrisome considering the valuable and critical services provided by BC Ambulance. Rural ambulance service stations typically rely on one regional paid manager and on-call volunteers, unlike that of urban stations with full time paid paramedics. This model is not viable in our rural communities as there is no longer adequate availability of paramedics. AKBLG has previously endorsed resolutions related to the BC Ambulance service but none have requested the province for a full service review of the current model. Without a consistent and sustainable funding model, there will always be a risk that the rural ambulance service will have insufficient funding to provide the critical emergency response services needed every year. . Request: The RDEK requests that the province engage in a full service review of the current funding model.

The MFA withholds 1% of the amount of every debenture borrowing and puts the funds into a debt reserve. In the event a Municipality or Regional District defaults on repaying a debenture, the MFA can draw on the debt reserve to make the payments. Once a debenture is paid in full, the 1% debt reserve amount is refunded to the borrower. The debt reserve represents the joint and several guarantee that all MFA members are responsible in the event of default by any member. There has been no default by an MFA member since the inception of the MFA in 1970.
