Page 3 of 3 eDNA Backgrounder eDNA Basics  eDNA Definition: Animals living in aquatic environments exogenously shed deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which is suspended in their aquatic ecosystem. A new species inventory technique enables researchers to detect and analyze eDNA from water samples collected from occupied habitats. eDNA is rapidly gaining recognition and acceptance as a robust and efficient method for reliable detection of species presence in freshwater.  Base pair sequences of eDNA are unique between organisms: these differences provide a unique way to identify species, populations, and individuals, since DNA molecules carry an organism’s genetic information.  eDNA relies on the detection of naturally occurring genetic material that can be collected from the environment, including gametes, dead skin cells, feathers, hair, feces, urine, egg plasma, and saliva.  Real-time or quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is the preferred method for detecting and quantifying DNA. This method amplifies DNA and facilitates detection of a species’ DNA in the laboratory. eDNA Field Sampling Methodology – Accuracy and Simplicity Collecting eDNA from the environment involves researchers filtering sample water or sediment from an aquatic environment potentially occupied by the species of interest. The water is filtered through a 45µm cellulose nitrate filter in a field lab. For sediment sampling eDNA is extracted directly from the sediment collected in the substrate of a stream, river, or lake. The filter or sediment is then preserved and sent to a genetics lab for DNA extraction and analysis using qPCR methods. eDNA can allow us to infer whether eDNA from the target taxa was present at the site during or immediately before the time of sampling. From this data researchers can make a logical inference regarding species use.

Advantages of eDNA Sampling over Conventional Survey Techniques  Generally more cost effective than conventional methods.  Removes observer bias associated with mistaken identification.  Can be used to rapidly survey multiple species simultaneously.  Increased efficacy (detection probability) relative to conventional methods.  Can retroactively analyze samples for other species that may be identified as management concern in the future; once preserved, eDNA samples can by analyzed even years after the initial collection, filtration, and preservation.  No permits required as eDNA sampling is not invasive (no handling of target taxa required).  Reduced/eliminated risk of pathogen transfer.  Broader survey timing windows.  Facilitates early detection and monitoring for species of management or regulatory concern.  Useful for detection of inconspicuous species; detection may be challenging using conventional survey methods or for cryptic species that occur in low densities, or that have discontinuous distributions or secretive life histories (nocturnal, low observability).  Effectively augments conventional survey techniques when species are not identified at a site.  Useful for detection of invasive species, providing a means of confirming eradication of all invaders in an ecosystem and providing an early warning system as invasive species colonize new habitats.  eDNA sample collection can easily be completed by technicians with very little formal training (conventional survey methods require experienced research personnel)  eDNA studies are less restrictive than conventional survey techniques; i.e., sample timing during appropriate phenological life history phases can be more easily accommodated using eDNA sampling than conventional survey techniques, which require availability of highly skilled and trained researchers, particularly with large survey scopes  eDNA sampling facilitates simpler, less costly, and safer field logistics coordination – fewer access issues; no specialized equipment and staff training in equipment usage (eDNA equipment includes sample collection bottles and a cooler for sample storage); increased staff safety over conventional methods such as snorkel surveys and electro-fishing

While offering many advantages over conventional survey techniques, there are some limitations with eDNA sampling. For example, eDNA cannot provide information on abundance and density of target taxa, nor can it furnish precise detail on the duration, frequency, and physical proximity of species use in an area, since eDNA can be transported or may persist in an aquatic environment for a short period of time (7 – 58 days) after an organism has left the area; persistence time varies as degradation rates are heavily influenced by temperature and UV exposure. Additionally, eDNA does not provide details on the precise physical proximity of the target taxa, and the potential for natural movement (transport) of DNA in aquatic habitats makes precise location of target taxa difficult to define. Even so, researchers and environmental managers cannot overlook the considerable advantages of eDNA in confirming species absence or presence in aquatic environments. The figure below illustrates the considerable advantages that eDNA sampling over conventional survey methods.

The Future for eDNA  Species-at-risk inventories  Restoration program effectiveness assessment  Environmental assessment process support  Effectiveness monitoring of control programs for invasive species  Development of monitoring programs for species management, including invasive species and pathogens (relative abundance estimates of multiple sites on a temporal scale)  Supporting captive breeding/release or translocation programs by identifying sites used previously by the species. How eDNA can help move your project forward

What is eDNA? Hemmera and eDNA

Animals living in aquatic environments exogenously shed DNA Hemmera’s use of eDNA for species inventory this as they complete their life processes. This DNA is suspended past spring was the first commercial application in their aquatic ecosystem and can be detected via collection of this method in Western Canada. Offering this as and subsequent laboratory analysis of water samples collected a new service to our clients is creating many new, from occupied habitats. This new method, referred to as eDNA, unique and exciting opportunities for Hemmera. is rapidly gaining recognition and acceptance as a robust and efficient method for reliable detection of species presence in In the 2014 field season, Hemmera successfully both lotic and lentic systems. implement seven eDNA projects on six species in southern BC. These projects represent the first application of eDNA in BC in a formal environmental assessment process. Results will be used to inform conservation and management in both a regulatory and a conservation framework.

Jared Hobbs, M.Sc., R.P.Bio. Why is eDNA so effective? Senior Biologist Hemmera Field effort associated with eDNA sample collection is [email protected] less intensive than that associated with traditional based 250.889.2071 trapping method. eDNA is non-invasive to the target species, reduces the risk of pathogen transfer between sites, is highly accurate for detection of species in lotic and lentic habitats, is able to detect the presence of pathogens and is cost-effective for species that are difficult to detect using traditional methods. Peace River Regional District REPORT

To: Regional Parks Committee Date: January 16, 2017

From: Bryna Casey, Parks and Rural Recreation Coordinator

Subject: 2017 Recreational Trails Grants-in-Aid Allocations

RECOMMENDATION(S): That the Regional Parks Committee recommend to the Regional Board the approval of the 2017 Recreational Trails Grants-in-Aid applicants and the applicable funding in the amounts as determined by the Committee after review and assessment of the attached applications.

BACKGROUND/RATIONALE: Applications for Recreational Trail Grants-in-Aid must be received by the Regional District by November 15 of each year. Applications are adjudicated based on need, availability of funds, and the selection criteria as laid out in Section 10 of the Recreational Trails Grants-in-Aid Policy Statement. Successful applicants are able to access funding by April 15 of each year. This year, the Regional District received five applications of which four met the Recreational Trails Grants-in-Aid eligibility requirements. 1. Bear Mountain Nordic Ski Association (BMNSA): Plans to complete phase four of upgrades to the trail network that the Association operates. Specifically the Association intends to repair over 24 kilometers trail surfaces damaged by wet weather, replace culverts and improve widths and levels of side cuts on the east half of the trail system. The Association maintains year-round a 500 ha area south of Dawson Creek on Radar Lake Road. This area is used by many for Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, running, hiking, mountain biking, bird watching, horseback riding, orienteering, outdoor studies, and more. This year, BMNSA are working with two new groups (disc golfers and mountain bikers) to provide further use. BMNSA has successfully completed phases one to three of this project, partially funded under the Recreational Trails Grants-in-Aid. This application meets all eligibility criteria to be funded under the Recreation Trails Grants-in-Aid Policy. Total Project Cost: $61,550 Applicant Contribution: $15,388 75% PRRD Maximum: $46,162.50 Staff Recommendation: That a grant be provided to a maximum of $46,162.50, with the exact amount to be determined by the Committee for recommendation to the Regional Board. 2. Blizzard Bike Club (BBC): The Blizzard Bike Club have begun to develop mountain bike trails within the Beatton Provincial Park, with blessing from BC Parks and in association with the Whiskey Jack Nordic Ski Club. The existing cross country skiing trail network provides a great base for developing shared use trails that can be enjoyed by recreational users in the community year round. The BBC intends to create winding, more challenging mountain bike trails within the boundaries of the snowshoe trails, which requires a great deal of clearing and grooming to make them into proper mountain bike trails, using trail standards set out by the International Mountain Biking Association. While the work would be provided in-kind by volunteers in the group, there is a need for small tools (such as chainsaws, brush saws, bush mower, hand tools), safety training (Chainsaw Operator’s Course) and signage required by BC Parks. This application meets all eligibility criteria to be funded under the Recreation Trails Grants-in-Aid Policy. Total Project Cost: $9,675

Staff Initials: Dept. Head: CAO: Page 1 of 3 Report – Chair and Directors January 16, 2017 Page 2 of 3

Applicant Contribution: $2,500 75% PRRD Maximum: $7,256.25 Staff Recommendation: That a grant be provided to a maximum of $7,175.00, with the exact amount to be determined by the Committee for recommendation to the Regional Board. 3. Wolverine Nordic and Mountain Society (WNMS): Request to complete improvements to the Windfall Lake trail, which was funded by the Recreation Trails Grants-in-Aid in 2016, by installing a dishwashing station to prevent soap and food residue from entering the lake or stream. The group also intends to add water access to the Greg Duke Memorial trail, by installing docks to provide access from 2 lake shores, improving views and access to fishing. Further, they will add benches along the Greg Duke Memorial trail, in addition to a new picnic table, outhouse, and signage. This hiking trail enhances the community of Tumbler Ridge and the entire Peace Region with access to scenery such as mountain peaks, alpine lakes, and cliffs containing caves and fossils as well as beautiful meadows. This application meets all eligibility criteria to be funded under the Recreational Trails Grants-in-Aid Policy. Total Project Cost: $12,653.69 Applicant Contribution: $4,600 75% PRRD Maximum: $9,490.27 Staff Recommendation: That a grant be provided to a maximum of $8,053.69, with the exact amount to be determined by the Committee for recommendation to the Regional Board. 4. Dawson Creek Ski and Recreation Association (DCRSA): The Dawson Creek Ski and Recreation Association provides the community with opportunities for downhill recreation at the Bear Mountain Ski Hill. The Association requires the ability to make snow to support its annual operations as the location does not receive sufficient natural snowfall to maintain a full season of downhill skiing. Currently, the Association is doing so with equipment installed in 1985, which at the end of its life with water line breaks occurring in the winter of 2015/16. The Association needs to replace 1,600 meters of water pipelines as well as expand the existing line to service a third ski trail, with future plans to add a reservoir for water collection. This application does not meet all of the eligibility criteria to be funded under Recreation Trails Grants-in-Aid policy at this time for the following reasons; • The applicant is applying for funding for a major capital equipment purchase, which is an ineligible cost in the Regional Trails Grants-in-Aid policy. • While the total budget including the cost for the project was included in the application, it is unclear how the Association would fund the remaining balance. A complete project budget is required to be included in the Recreation Trails Grants-in-Aid Schedule “A” – Application. Total Project Cost: $340,000 Applicant Contribution: Unknown 75% PRRD Maximum: $255,000 Staff Recommendation: That the Regional Parks Committee not recommend approval of the Dawson Creek Ski and Recreation Association’s grant application as they do not meet the eligibility requirements at this time and that their application not be forwarded to the Board for consideration. That the Regional Parks Committee recommend to the Regional Board that this project be referred to the Rural Budgets Administration Committee for potential funding. 5. Northland Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club (NTBSC): This club is requesting funding for the construction of the new Stewart Lake Trailhead parking lot. Due to increased usage of the Stewart Lake Trail over the years, local land owners have requested that the parking lot be moved to crown land. The parking lot is intended to be constructed to create an area for safe loading and unloading and will Report – Chair and Directors January 16, 2017 Page 3 of 3

include a trailhead kiosk, signage, and an outhouse. This group currently maintains over 800 kilometers of trails in the Peace River area and provide the public the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors through the use of snowmobiles. This application meets all eligibility criteria to be funded under the Recreational Trails Grants-in-Aid Policy. Total Project Cost: $18,250 Applicant Contribution: $4,000 75% PRRD Maximum: $13,687.50 Parks Committee Recommendation: $13,687.50

OPTIONS: The Regional Parks Committee could choose to allocate alternate amounts to applicants.

STRATEGIC PLAN RELEVANCE: Recreational Trails Grants-In-Aid is supported as an operational priority as part of the Regional Parks and Trails Master Plan, adopted by the Board of Directors on July 24, 2014.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION(S): $75,000 has been budgeted in the draft budget for the 2017 Regional Parks function for Recreational Trail Grants in 2017. $75,078.69 is recommended by staff to be allocated in support of five of the eligible applicants. This funding will assist to provide trail development and maintenance grants throughout the whole Region. 729

COMMUNICATIONS CONSIDERATION(S): Recreational trail groups from across the region were invited to submit applications. The Recreational Trails Grants-In-Aid were advertised in local newspapers, by email, on the PRRD website and through the Peace River Regional District Official Facebook page. All recipients of the grant, once determined, will receive a letter confirming the status of their funding request.

OTHER CONSIDERATION(S): The next deadline for Recreational Trails Grants-In-Aid applications is November 15, 2017 for consideration by the Regional Parks Committee in the 2018 budget.

From: Dan Webster Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2017 1:12 PM To: Bryna Casey Cc: ‘Blizzard Bike Cub’ Subject: RE:2017 Trails Grants-in-Aid Attachments: BBC2017 Budget REVISEDDRAFT.pdf

Ok, I understand that now, so yes our budget spreadsheet is a little confusing then and this would reduce the amount we are asking for (that is my mistake). So in the budget we outlined the 2017 costs for the trails as $9675. The BBChad planned for $1500 in fundraising to support these, but that doesn’t match the 75%/25% target you have, that was my error. So I have attached a revised budget where this has been corrected (we will have to pull $1000 from our 2016 funds, or conduct more fundraising for this). That would change our requested funding to $7175 and BBCwould come up with the other $2500 through 2016 rollover money, donations, sponsorship and fundraising. I amended in the budget our rollover from 2016, as it was more than we had thought it would be, so that is where a portion of this comes from. It could cover the whole $2500, but we would look towards fundraising and donations so we do not deplete our cash surplus.

Please let me know if there are any other details you require, or if this is sufficient to act as a revision to our application request. Thank you.

Got this from PRRDtoday. Looks like they are looking at our application. Could you answer Brynas question below?

Likely the difference will come through online trails donations (at time of registration) and/or via club annual dues. Can you think of any more?

From: Bryna Casey Date: January 25, 2017 at 11:13:24 AM MST To: “bizzardbikecLubfsjgmail.com” Subject: 2017 Trails Grants-in-Aid Hello Kevin,

I am working through evaluating the BBC’sgrant applicant to the Peace River Regional District’s 2017 Trails Grants-in-Aid program.

This grant will only pay for up to 75% of the entire project budget, so with the total project cost that you’ve submitted of $9,675, the maximum that we can fund is $7,256.25.

The application checklist asks for “Project budget including sources of revenue (confirmed and pending), donations and expenses.” So, as we can only cover at most 75% of the project, how will the other 25% be funded? If you could kindly provide me this information by Friday or Monday at the latest, that would be excellent! I’m sorry for the short notice.

I hope that this makes sense! If it doesn’t, or if you have questions, please give me a call or shoot me an email! Thank you!

Regarding: Beatton Park Trail Expansion

To Whom it May Concern,

Our names are Bailey and Tate Haugan, and we are two local athletes that are writing in support of the possibility of a trail expansion to the existing trails at Beatton Park. We both compete at the international level in trail running and off-road triathlon, and we are heavily dependent on the local trail systems to do the majority of our training.

We are proud to be from the north and rprcsent our community at races around the world. The fact that we have to travel very far for competitions and training often makes it challenging for us to compete at a high level, so having sufficient trails to train on Iocifly is very important to us. We would be thrilled to see an expansion of the trail system out at Beatton Park as it is one of our favorite places to train. And with more trails available for local athletes and recreational users to use, hopefully we will see more of the younger generation out using them!

Sincerely,

Bailey & Tate Haugan November 2, 2016

Regarding: Beatton Park Trail Expansion

To Whom it May Concern,

I am writing in support of the possibility of a trail expansion to the existing trails at Beatton Park. The trails have been very well used by many within our community, and the expansion of the current trail system would be a great asset to our recreational community.

I lead a local running group with 20+ members, and was able to take my group for a few runs out on the existing trails this past summer. The trails have been extremely well maintained by members of the Blizzard Bike Club, and I feel very fortunate to have access to such great trails within a 15 minute drive from Fort St. John.

The expansion of the trails would be a very welcome addition to our limited options for local running, hiking, biking and snowshoeing.

Sincerely,

Nicki Haugan n ickiha ugan @1 ive.ca I

Re: Bicycle Trail Development in Beatton Provincial Park

Beatton Provincial Park has become the go-to destination for recreation seeking people of the North Peace region. Zoned Intensive recreation” the park has seen recent expansion of the cross country ski trails resulting in a large increase in skier visits to the park in winter. Additionally the ski trails are well suited for hiking in summer months and are in continuous use.

The snow shoe trail, only recently added to the Park system in 2012, has been injected with a huge amount of volunteer effort on the part of the Blizzard Bike Club to expand its use for summer biking. The Blizzard Bike Club is lauded for its efforts to expand the snowshoe trail/summer biking network. The benefits of increased recreational opportunities are enormous and contribute a great deal to the community’s health and weilness as welt as help with worker retention by having high quality outdoQr recreation opportunities close to the cityof Fort St. John.

With the increase in trails comes a need for signage as the park is largely forested. Directional map signs are very important and are appreciated by all users of the trails; this initiative is crucial to establishing the trail network for the future.

The WJNSC fully supports the trail building efforts of the Blizzard Bike Club and is excited to reap the rewards of their work to provide multi purpose trails in Beatton Provincial Park.

In-kind support:

Construction of the facilities and work on the trails at the Greg Duke Memorial Trail: The WNMSestimates that a series of work bees will take place to cover the series of tasks outlined. Including time to transport the materials from Tumbler Ridge to the staging area, we estimate 200 hours of volunteer time x $20/hr, for an estimated in kind contribution of $4000.

Construction of washing stations and signs at Windfall Lake: we estimate that we will need a team of volunteers, who will spend a weekend on the project, in addition to time developing signs. 10 hours each for 3 volunteers = 30 hours x $20/hour $600

WNMSwill provide fuel to trailhead, equipment (pulaskis, shovels, drill, etc).

TOTAL IN KIND: $4600.

Good day Bryna, Greg Duke is an established Recreation Site managed by the WNMS. The WNMS has been an outstanding group to work with and continuer to set the bar of excellence.

I am in support or working with the WNMS on the dock project and will provide necessary permits for each of the proposed docks. Please consider this email as supporting documentation for the WNMS Grant Application. Sincerely,

HiTrevor

I I understand you are away for the next week or two; am just trying to tie up some loose ends before I head off. I briefly let PRRD staff (Bryna) know about the idea of a funding proposal which would include docks for two of the Greg Duke Lakes. She responded enthusiastically, but indicated that due diligence” may be needed with respect to permits as these involved a water body. The idea which Thomas has put forward is very simple: there are quite a number beetle-kill pine trees along the shore of Norden Lake and Barber Lake, which tend to fall into the lake anyway. The plan would simply to use a come-along to align two of these parallel beside each other, and then use decking (36’) to join them, with 2 x 4 along the outside edges, as at Irene Lake. In other words, no posts. We would appreciate your advice. Sarah has offered to look after the funding proposal to PRRDin my absence - a letter of support from you is one of the criteria to be met. Deadline is November 15th, so there is lots of time.

Can’t remember if I previously sent you these dates: December 09th: Birgit and Iwill be presenting to PRRDon summary of the past three years of PRRDfunding for our trail projects, just to thank them,. December 12th: WNMS AGM. If you could be present at either or both, that would be great! Regards Charles

RE: Letter of support for completion of Windfall Lake Campsite & Greg Duke Memorial Enhancements

Dear Mr. McPherson and Directors,

We would like to take this opportunity to offer our support for the current proposal by the Wolverine Nordic and Mountain Society (WNMS) to complete their work installing a backcountry campsite at Windfall Lake and to ado enhancements to the Greg Duke Memoriai Priai and Recreation Site

The work undertaken cy the WNMS volunteers over time has establ;shed Tumbler R dge as a preemine’t back country paradise in the Peace Region or nonmotorized recreation. While supportirg a noaitny community and connection to the land for the local Tumbler Riage population, the increased ‘Hrastructure and interpretive signage along their backcountry trails make our Geopark more accessible to visitors from the Peace River Rg:on and beyond.

As we build the success of the Tumbler Ridge UNESCOGlobal Geopurk, we need to also support the environmental stewardship of the land, to ensure that our increased visibility is matched with a supporting responsibility, Both of these projects serve to enhance our visitors’ experience while protecting the wilderness landscape that they have . orr:e to enjoy.

To: Regional Parks Committee Date: January 25, 2017

From: Bryna Casey, Parks and Rural Recreation Coordinator

Subject: 2017 Regional Parks Budget

RECOMMENDATION(S): That the Regional Parks Committee accept the 2017 Regional Parks’ budget as presented and that it be forwarded to the Regional Board for approval in the 2017 Annual Financial Plan.

BACKGROUND/RATIONALE: Attached, please find the proposed 2017 budget for the Regional Parks’ function. The following is a brief explanation of the projects proposed for 2017. Blackfoot Park Expansion Design Study - $25,000 Blackfoot Park is the most well-known and well used regional park. Concerns have been brought forward regarding vandalism, safety, and misuse of the park. The Regional Parks and Trails Master Plan (Master Plan) recommends improving the park by: • Adding 10 new campsites. • Developing a trail within the park. • Upgrading the day use/picnic area. • Acquiring 3 small parcels of land (Crown Land to the west of the road, beach front area, and a private land parcel with park road access). • Piloting a full time Park Attendant project to address safety, vandalism, and park use concerns. In 2017, staff will engage the services of a consultant to develop a plan to address the recommendations. As both Montney Centennial Regional Park and Blackfoot Regional Park will require an park expansion design study, staff are looking to tender both projects together to take advantage of the economies of scale. These projects were budgeted for in 2016 but not completed. Montney Centennial Regional Park – Park Development Feasibility Study - $25,000 This park sits on the edge of Charlie Lake, a lake that has multiple private, provincial, and municipal parks. From time to time concerns over how the park is being used have come forward. As recommended in the Regional Parks and Trails Master Plan, the services of a consultant should be obtained to analyze and provide a plan for: • Whether or not there is a need for further development of camping sites (if there is, a plan will be developed to construct new camping sites on the upper bench). • How the site could be better developed to increase family-friendly usage and become more accessible for all. • Suggestions on ways to improve day use, including the addition of a parking area. • Determining whether the park could support an outdoor walking trail. • Providing a park use analysis to determine how to best develop the park for public use. • Analysis of park safety and suggestions for improvement. Marketing & Promotion - $15,000 The Master Plan recommends annually promoting the regional park system to the public, as it was determined that many residents were unaware of the regional parks. In 2017, staff will encourage the exploration of regional parks by using the theme “get outside!” Staff will develop a scavenger hunt and

Staff Initials: Dept. Head: CAO: Page 1 of 2 Report – Regional Parks Committee January 25, 2017 Page 2 of 2

geocaching caches for children/adults/families to find. The regional parks will be marketed over a variety of mediums – from radio to web banners to regional Visitor’s Guides. A “Welcome to Your Regional Park” brochure and sign will be developed for public use and distribution, outlining the do’s and do not’s of visiting one of the parks and promoting of the other parks in the region. Staff will also coordinate the development of a google map “street view” on the PRRD “Parks” webpage, providing visitors and residents with easy directions to one of the regional parks. Furthermore, staff will look to hold two events in the parks, one in association with the Chetwynd Rod and Gun club at Sundance Regional Park on Father’s Day weekend, and an outdoor movie night and activities at Spencer Tuck Regional Park. A communications plan will be developed in March. Bylaw and Policy development: Staff Time In 2016, Community Services will work on updating existing bylaws and developing policies and guidelines. Some the items that the Master Plan recommends developing or updating include: • Signage Strategy • Parks Regulatory Bylaw • Parkland acquisition and disposition guidelines/policy • Park classification policy • Commemorative gifting policy and program • Site furnishing guidelines • Special events guidelines • Individual park management plans including emergency plans • Inspection documentation for danger tree removal, playgrounds, signage and equipment

OPTIONS: The Regional Parks Committee could recommend changes to the 2017 Regional Parks budget as drafted by staff.

STRATEGIC PLAN RELEVANCE: This report supports Strategic Objective 1.6.1 stating that the PRRD shall “implement the 10 Year – Regional Parks and Trails Master Plan (adopted in 2014).”

0 Peace River Regional District REPORT

To: Regional Parks Committee Date: January 25, 2017

From: Bryna Casey, Parks and Rural Recreation Coordinator

Subject: 2017 Parks Maintenance Contracts Pre-Budget Allocation

RECOMMENDATION(S):

1. That the Regional Parks Committee recommend to the Regional Board that pre-budget approval for the following contract be authorized in the 2017 budget, with contract starting as early as March 1 and extending as late as October 31, for a one year term with an option to extend the contract for 2 additional years with satisfactory results; Blackfoot Regional Park: $8,662.50 (Stacey Lajeunesse)

2. That the Regional Parks Committee recommend to the Regional Board that pre-budget approval for the following contract be authorized in the 2017 budget, with contract starting as early as March 1 and extending as late as October 31 for a one year term with an option to extend the contract for 2 additional years with satisfactory results; Minaker River Regional Park: $23,908.50 (Dave Wiebe Contracting)

3. That the Regional Parks Committee recommend to the Regional Board that pre-budget approval for the following contract be authorized in the 2017 budget, with contract starting as early as March 1 and extending as late as October 31 for a one year term with an option to extend the contract for 2 additional years with satisfactory results; Spencer Tuck Regional Park: $14,812.88 (Morgan Rae Contracting)

4. That the Regional Parks Committee recommend to the Regional Board that pre-budget approval for the following contract be authorized in the 2017 budget, with contract starting as early as March 1 and extending as late as October 31 for a one year term with an option to extend the contract for 2 additional years with satisfactory results; Montney Centennial Regional Park: $20,911.28 (Morgan Rae Contracting)

5. That the CAO or Chair be authorized by the Regional Board to sign the Parks Contracts for Maintenance as per the purchasing policy.

BACKGROUND/RATIONALE: The Park Maintenance Contracts for Blackfoot Regional, Minaker River Regional, Spencer Tuck Regional, and Montney Centennial Regional parks expired at the end of the 2016 summer season and staff tendered these contracts out for 2017 parks maintenance. With satisfactory results, the Regional District may choose to extend these contracts to a term of three years in total. All recommended Maintenance Contractors have been selected at the lowest bid.

Over the last years, there has been an increased use of the parks during the shoulder seasons, at the beginning of March to the end of April and through the month of October. During these times, the parks

Staff Initials: Dept. Head: CAO: Page 1 of 2 Report – Chair and Directors January 25, 2017 Page 2 of 2

have historically received no maintenance, though there is a demonstrated need. Staff wrote the Regional Park Maintenance Contracts with this in mind, and have recently completed the tender process for these parks. Contractors were asked to provide a monthly rate for May-September when the parks are guaranteed to be open. For the shoulder season, contractors were asked to provide a weekly rate and were told that the parks may or may not be open at this time and will be at the discretion of staff. This gave staff the flexibility to decide when maintenance should start and end in that time frame. The amounts budgeted and presented are the total amount, including the monthly amount for operational months and the weekly rate for the entire shoulder season (including 5% GST). While this total amount is budgeted, dependent on the weather, the actual amount paid out for each park will likely be less.

OPTIONS: The Regional Parks Committee could choose to only provide maintenance during May-September with no option to provide service for the shoulder season.

STRATEGIC PLAN RELEVANCE: In the 2015-2018 Strategic Plan, Strategic Objective 1.6.1 is to “Implement the Regional Parks and Trails Master Plan (adopted in 2014).”

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION(S): Staff have provided the total contract amount that includes the shoulder seasons. Actual cost for the Parks Maintenance Contracts could be lower depending on when staff choose to open the parks.

COMMUNICATIONS CONSIDERATION(S): None at this time.

OTHER CONSIDERATION(S): None at this time.
