Water usage & 7.12 conservation GLADUE/MCFADYEN, measures THAT Report No. ADM 10-114 from the Director of Infrastructure & Sustainable Development (August 11, 2010) re: Water Usage and Conservation Measures be received; further, that Council authorize staff to declare Stage 4 Water Conservation Measures effective Thursday, August 19th, 2010; further, that staff be directed to implement Stage 4 measures as it applies to watering of city owned properties immediately.
The Chief Administrative Officer advised that Council should fully understand that moving to level 4 impacts businesses and employment in the community. He further noted that in 1992, when the Kiskatinaw River ran dry, the City did not have Bearhole Lake Weir, the oil & gas industry was not using City water, and the Water Conservation Measures Bylaw was not in effect. He further noted that in that instance, the river ran dry later in the season and September rains “rescued” the river and ended the extreme drought situation. Mayor Bernier invited the Director of Infrastructure & Sustainable Development to further explain the implications of Stage 4 Water Conservation Measures The Director of Infrastructure & Sustainable Development explained that the Kiskatinaw River is a rather volatile water source which is significantly impacted by weather conditions. He stated that in late July, the rivers and creeks feeding the Kiskatinaw ceased to flow and the Ministry of Environment decreased the City’s extraction permit by half. He advised that the City MUST decrease water usage to below our daily extraction amount to keep reservoirs full prior to winter. The Chief Administrative Officer noted that the BC Oil & Gas Commission has suspended all industrial surface water extraction from the Kiskatinaw and the City must compliment this move by stopping non potable use of City water or water usage by industry may actually increase through water purchase at the bulk filling stations. The Director advised that the river is flowing now only through the fish ladder, and that a request has been made to the Ministry of Environment to close the fish ladder to increase the water level at the river intake.
In response to Mayor Bernier, the Chief Administrative Officer advised that Council can direct staff to exempt car washes, if they so wish, and suggested that Council further amend the stipulations in the bylaw at Stage 4 regarding watering of sports fields and hanging baskets and direct staff to immediately cease all watering of City owned landscaping. The Chief Administrative Officer stated that five of the past six years have seen dry conditions in the area, which Council has recognized and sought to address through the Water Reclamation Facility over the long term, and reiterated that the Stage 4 Water Conservation Measures are deemed necessary at this time. CARRIED 24. Car washes BELAK/MCFADYEN, exempt from Stage 4 THAT staff be directed to exempt car washes from Stage 4 Water Conservation Measures, to be revisited upon staff recommendation in the event that water usage has not diminished significantly enough keep reservoirs full.
Councillors Shuman and Gladue spoke against the motion, advocating for the preservation of potable water for domestic purposes and stating that people can drive dirty cars.

Re: South Peace Economic Development Commission Report 2010
Dear Mayor and Council:
The South Peace Economic Commission has been working together for the past five years in developing plans and working towards assisting organizations in their economic development initiatives. The following is an update of the objectives and activities supporting the objectives of the South Peace Economic Development Commission.
Commissioners: Chair Mayor Evan Saugstead, District of Chetwynd Mayor Mike Bernier, City of Dawson Creek Mayor Larry White, District of Tumbler Ridge Mayor Lyman Clarke, Village of Pouce Coupe Tim Caton, Area E, Peace River Regional District Wayne Hiebert, Area D, Peace River Regional District
Advisory Committee: Chair Fred Banham, Peace River Regional District Ellen Calliou, EDO, District of Chetwynd Peter Thomas, CAO, Village of Pouce Coupe Ray Proulx, EDO, District of Tumbler Ridge
Overview of the history of SPEDC In October, 2005, the South Peace Economic Development Commission (SPEDC) invited regional economic development stakeholders to a strategic planning session in Dawson Creek to examine the role the newly created commission should play in the region and identify potential projects that could be delivered by a regional alliance. The strategies in this plan have been guided by that strategic planning process, along with the higher level strategic planning prepared for the SPEDC in 2003/04.
Objectives of the Business Plan The Business Plan provides the core activities common to strong economic development organizations as well as strategies and action to address the unique opportunities of the South Peace. As the SPEDC had been chosen by the Province of B.C. as a pilot region to establish regional economic development alliances, special attention was focused on identifying potential partners for strategies and actions. The goal was to develop a regional partnership of economic development initiatives through an economic alliance benefiting the South Peace as a region.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE: August 25, 2010 REPORT NO.: ADM 10-122
SUBMITTED BY: Duncan Redfearn FILE NO.: Tender 2010-23 Building Maintenance Supervisor
SUBJECT: NAR Museum Foundation Stabilization
PURPOSE To request Council’s approval to award the NAR Foundation Stabilization Tender.
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND The City of Dawson Creek received one bid for the NAR museum foundation stabilization tender from Hegge Construction in the amount of $481,936 including taxes. The budget allocated for the project was $300,000. Fortunately, this scenario was accounted for in the pre-planning stage, and through Appendix A of the tender documents the project was broken down into five separate independent items. The five items are as follows:
Item 1: General requirements - mobilization, insurance, permits.
Item 2: Phase 1 foundation - levelling, reinforcing and other repairs to the east 1/3rd of the building. The museum and interpretive centre are located in this section.
Item 3: Phase 2 foundation – levelling, reinforcing and other repairs to the centre portion of the building. The tourist information centre is located in this section.
Item 4: Phase 3 foundation – levelling, reinforcing and other repairs to the west 1/3rd of the building. The tourist information offices are located in this section.
Item 5: Main entry stairs and ramp – replacement of the existing main entrance stairs as well as construction of a new accessible ramp providing barrier free access to the tourist information centre.
The usual post tender follow up and reference checks have been completed, resulting in a staff determination that Hegge Construction is experienced, trained and capable of completing all areas identified in the tender package scope of work.

Report re: NAR Museum Foundation Stabilization Page 2 of 3
Staff has also discussed the project and bid received with Dan Bastiaansen, President of the Historical Society and Dustin Bodnaryk, Tourism Development Coordinator. Though these stakeholders wish to see the entire project completed this year, they are aware that staff will recommend only Appendix A items one, three, four and five.
ALTERNATIVES 1. Council could choose to not award the tender as recommended and direct staff to reconsider the approved items. 2. Council may direct staff to re-issue the tender in an attempt to solicit additional and more competitive bids. 3. Council could re-allocate funding from other projects to complete the entire project this year.
IMPLICATIONS (1) Social The NAR park is the tourism hub of Dawson Creek. Completion of the proposed work will revitalize an important part of our Community heritage.
(2) Environmental
(3) Personnel Upon Council approval, the NAR tourist information centre will be relocated to the Pioneer Village to accommodate construction. As the NAR Museum is situated within the CN Rail right of way, this project will be subject to requirements above and beyond normal City standards such as increased liability insurance and safety measures around the rail track. Staff is in contact with CN representatives to ensure that the project is in compliance with all CN requirements. This may result in additional costs to the project.
(4) Financial The recommended contract will see a total construction cost of $245,300 before taxes. Combined with additional project expenses such as engineering, site management, and hazardous material removal we will have a sufficient contingency to resolve any unforeseen items and still complete the proposed project within budget.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES This project is in line with Council’s Guiding Principle: Lifestyle - We will nurture engagement in a collective sense of belonging and contribution by celebrating arts, heritage and culture.

SUBJECT: Development Permit Application Proposed Aviator Hotel at 601 – Highway #2
PURPOSE To respectfully request that Council give approval in principle for Development Permit 10-13 to permit the construction of a 98 unit hotel on the property located at 601 Highway #2.
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND Aviator Hotel Dawson Creek Corporation has applied for a development permit to allow the construction of a 98 unit hotel at 601 Highway #2. The proposed hotel will consist of multiple stand alone buildings of either four or six units each, complete with garages for occupants. Landscaping plans submitted with the application show extensive landscaping which should create an appealing property once complete. Also of note is the inclusion of a recycling centre within the maintenance building. It is not known whether this is intended for occupants or will be administered by hotel management.
Service requirements are under review by the Director of Infrastructure and Sustainable Development and staff will work the developer to ensure that all stormwater management is addressed as specified in the attached development permit. Any upgrades or connections will be the responsibility of the developer.
ALTERNATIVES Council could approve the permit as proposed or request changes.

(4) Financial The applicant will be required to provide financial security in the amount of $1,000,000.00 for landscaping and paving, prior to issuance of the permit. Staff estimates value the project at approximately $20 million, and therefore have requested a substantial security deposit for this permit.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES We will strengthen the community’s economic vitality by establishing a climate that encourages responsible economic development.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS Approval of this project will demonstrate the ongoing positive relationship the City and Council have established with the development community and its construction will provide additional and somewhat unique inventory in the hotel market in the City which consistently reports very high occupancy rates.
RECOMMENDATION That Report No. ADM 10-121 from the Director of Infrastructure & Sustainable Development (August 25, 2010) re: Development Permit 10-13 for 601 Highway #2 be received; further that staff be directed to proceed with the required notification process for Development Permit 10- 13 and authorized to issue Development Permit 10-13 to Aviator Hotel Dawson Creek Corporation Inc. at 601 Highway 2 for the development of a 98 unit hotel, upon successful completion of the required 10 day notification period and receipt of the required financial security in the amount of $1,000,000.00.

SUBMITTED BY: Kevin Henderson FILE NO.: Bylaws 4070 & 4071 Director of Infrastructure & Sustainable Development
SUBJECT: OCP Amendment Bylaw 4070 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw 4071 Wayne Hansen - NW ¼, Section 16, Township 78, Range 15, W6M
PURPOSE To request that Council rescind and re-read first two readings of Bylaw 4070 and 4071, 2010 which provide for the re-designation and rezoning of the Northwest ¼ of Section 16, Township 78, Range 15, W6M.
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND This property was recently brought into the City boundaries is currently designated Agricultural in both the City of Dawson Creek Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 4042, 2009 and Zoning Bylaw 3362, 1998. A joint OCP and Zoning amendment application was submitted to the City and Bylaw No. 4070, 2010 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 4071, 2010 have each been given two readings. Subsequently, as a result of a staff review of an Agricultural Land Reserve exclusion application, the applicants have advised that the proposed re-designation and rezoning currently captured in these bylaws does not in fact accurately reflect the desire of the applicant. As the bylaws have been given only first two readings, Council may rescind those readings, amend the bylaw to accurately reflect the designation and zoning requests of the applicant, and proceed with first two readings as amended. The notification and public hearing process will be repeated to ensure that the process is transparent to the public and concerns (if any) are brought forward. The designations and zoning requested and now reflected in Bylaw 4070 and 4071 mirror those contained in the South Peace Comprehensive Development Plan, which shows a forty (40) acre portion at the northwest corner of the quarter section identified for commercial uses, with the remainder designated for industrial use. Once the bylaws have been re-read as amended and the public hearing completed (September 13th) Council will be asked to consider an Agricultural Land Reserve exclusion application.

RE: Dawson Creek RCMP Detachment Monthly Policing Report- July, 2010
Dear Mayor and Council,
The following information is provided as an update on crime statistics and new developments within the detachment.
Detachment News:
The Dawson Creek plain clothes section and Crime Reduction Unit have been busy during the summer months. On July 14, a major cocaine supplier was arrested after receiving tips from the public. Police executed a search warrant resulting in the seizure of several ounces of cocaine and a large sum of money. Drug and Proceeds of Crime charges against three adults are before the courts.
The Crime Reduction Initiative has been targeting repeat offenders. Curfew and street check have netted several breach of probation/court condition charges. One adult, believed responsible for several vehicle and property thefts in the city, has been charged with six counts of breaching court conditions. As a result of this selective enforcement, the individual has effectively been restricted in his daily and nightly activities.
Members were busy investigating several business break and enters and vehicle thefts during the month. A number of suspects have been identified and charged with the crimes. The wind park was vandalized when someone shot the towers with a sling shot or similar device. The vandalism is thought to be isolated and the investigation into the incident continues.
Perhaps the biggest policing story of July was the training and implementation of the bike patrol. Cst. DAVIDSON, who spent nearly two years with the Vancouver PD bike patrol before coming to the Dawson Creek RCMP, trained four local members. All have been equipped and are visible on the street, most recently during the Fall Fair weekend. The Rotary and Elks, recognizing the importance of the bike patrol in contributing to safe communities, donated two new bicycles to the patrol. The detachment received many favorable comments from the

public on the initiative and will continue their patrols into the fall.
For the the month of July, the detachment held a total of 142 prisoners. Total lockup hours for the month was 3034 hours. The municipality was billed 1104 hours and the Provincial Government was billed 1773 hours.
Should you have any additional questions or require further information, please contact me at the detachment.
Sincerely,

FOR THE MONTH OF: Summer 2010
DEPARTMENTAL FOCUS The Department of Corporate Administration is responsible for preparation and preservation of the minutes, bylaws and other City records and ensures that all City actions such as Council proceedings, elections and land development are conducted in accordance with government legislation. The department is also responsible for community economic development and special projects.
REGULAR MONTHLY/SEASONAL ACTIVITIES COMPLETED THIS MONTH Tenders 2010-15 Skid Steer, awarded to Bobcat of the Peace 2010-16 Municipal Tractor, awarded to Williams Machinery 2010-17 Dump Truck w. Slide in Sander, awarded to Gear O Rama Supply Ltd. 2010-18 Contractor pre-qualification, 5 companies were pre-qualified and will be invited to bid on the construction of the project. 2010-19 Concrete Repair Program, awarded to CLC Concrete 2010-20 13th Street Storm Sewer Project, awarded to Good Brothers Construction Ltd. 2010-22 Climbing Wall Operator, closes September 3, 2010 2010-23 NAR Museum Foundation, one bid from Hegge Construction received
Staff has updated the method by which City tenders are issued. All City tenders are now posted on the City website with instructions to refer to the BC Bid website for full details. The BC Bid website then automatically tracks the number of downloads and maintains a “plan holders” list so in the event that an addendum is required, the interested parties who have already acquired documents are automatically notified of the posted addendum. (also done on BC Bid.) This new system removes the requirement for staff to track who packages are given or sent to and frees up valuable time for other projects. Companies can register with BC Bid to receive automatic notification of any tenders posted by the City and staff believes that the use of the BC Bid site ensures easy and equal access to City projects to local and non local contractors.

Report re: Corporate Administration COW Report Page 2 of 2
SPECIAL EVENTS/ACTIVITIES The Deputy Director of Corporate Administration continues to focus on the research and documentation for the Parks Inventory project identified as a department Strategic Priority as the December deadline looms ever closer. Ms. Vipond is particularly motivated to complete this project as she has also indicated her intent to retire prior to the end of 2010. Ms. Vipond has served the City well for over 25 years and will be greatly missed. The remainder of the department staff has demonstrated a renewed enthusiasm for cross training and knowledge transfer from Ms. Vipond prior to her departure. This is no easy endeavor as the department has been very busy over the summer administering tender calls, securing agreements for summer construction projects, and processing the steady stream of development permit and zoning amendment applications. When you add job postings and interviews, boundary expansions, agricultural land reserve exclusion applications, travel arrangements, alternative approval processes, and training opportunities, it becomes easy to understand how quickly the days and weeks fly by. My staff are always willing to step up and cover for one another to ensure smooth operation of the department over the summer holiday season and I thank them for their efforts. I don’t see “a light at the end of tunnel” any time soon though I’m sure that the department is up for the challenge.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES / OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES The Department is currently working on the 2010 Strategic Priorities including the Economic Development Plan, the Public Communication Strategy, Volunteer Appreciation, the Parks Inventory, Bylaw amendments and ongoing Land Management Training.

FOR THE MONTH OF: July and August 2010
DEPARTMENTAL FOCUS The Finance Department manages the financial transactions for the City of Dawson Creek. The Community Charter assigns statutory responsibility to the Chief Financial Officer for this function. We ensure that all monies are received, bills are paid and reporting requirements fulfilled. Our goal is to provide accurate and timely information so that Council can make informed decisions.
REGULAR MONTHLY/SEASONAL ACTIVITIES COMPLETED THIS MONTH In order to drive alignment of the City’s Strategic Plan through to front line workers the finance department is changing the model of its committee of the whole report. Focus will be directed to items from the 2010 Strategic Plan and/or the Finance Department 2010 Service Plan.
Calvin Kruk Centre for the Arts • 2010 Project expenditures to July 31 $878,058.34 • 3 claims have been submitted to the Provincial Government for reimbursement totalling $401,754.32 • Received 2 claims back from the government for $116,932.00

capital asset management report will be issued in the near future.
2009 Audit • The year end is complete and we are waiting for the auditor to complete the file review. The tangible capital asset project delayed the initial completion of year end, coupled with holiday scheduling.
Water Rate Changes • Water rates for residential and commercial bulk haulers were changed May 1, 2010 • An analysis of both the water and sewer funds is underway using the new rate structure • Bylaw revisions and amendments will be brought forward for Council approval prior to December 31 • A newsletter will be issued to all residents prior to December 31 • The rate change will be applied to the system after the year end close is complete. The timing of the rate change has to be processed after frontage tax is removed at December 31
Water Vending System Upgrade • 1425 FOBS issued to date for a difference of 275 from the last report • Customer feedback regarding the detailed transaction data reports has been more than positive. Four bulk hauler accounts presently receive this report with their billing statement. They can now review their water usage and use that data to bill customers or to measure daily pumping by unit. If any other customers would like these data reports feel free to call City Hall. • Installation of the POS system (credit card function) at the bulk stations is now targeted for September, 2010 due to summer holidays.
HST • HST was implemented on July 1st along with program changes to accounts receivable, accounts payable and purchase orders. A GST/HST Ruling request was sent to Canada Revenue Agency for the purposes of determining if HST is applicable to pool punch cards and general admission. GST/HST is applicable on all general admissions and punch cards and for any other admission. GST/HST is not applicable when there is instruction. Due to the call volumes etc., at the call centre, a written ruling will be forthcoming in the next 4 months. • This will impact the City of Dawson Creek with a 100% refund on the Federal portion GST and only a 75% refund on the Provincial portion PST. In the past the Provincial portion was never refunded, therefore a budget impact of 1.75% overall to applicable expenses paid. Concluding that a 10.25% refund overall.

SUBMITTED BY: Shawn Dahlen Deputy Director of Infrastructure and Sustainable Development
FOR THE MONTH OF: Summer 2010
DEPARTMENTAL FOCUS The Operations Department provides efficient and effective maintenance of all aspects of the City’s infrastructure by focusing resources where they are most needed. The department also plans new capital Infrastructure Improvements as required.
REGULAR MONTHLY/SEASONAL ACTIVITIES COMPLETED THIS MONTH Engineering Staff in the Engineering Department is busy with the full swing of construction season. The 92nd Ave storm water project is now complete and the 17th Street sidewalk project is underway. Summer student Ty Sander is busy with service connection tie ins, BC One Call locates and helping with surveying. Asphalt patching continues and the engineering department has been kept busy with infrastructure inspections on new development in the Hart Industrial Subdivision and the Rorison Subdivision.
Public Works The Public Works department has completed their summer tasks of street sweeping, patching, gravelling, dust control and line painting. The unidirectional water flushing program has been cancelled for the 2010 season as a result of water restrictions.
Water and Environmental Due to the extraordinary dry conditions this summer, the City has implemented Stage 4 of our Water Conservation Measures for the first time. Stage 4 was triggered when the Ministry of Environment reduced the City’s permit to draw water from the river from 4 million gallons per day to 2 million gallons. The BC Oil & Gas Commission has also responded to the low levels of the river by suspending industrial use of water from four area rivers including the Kiskatinaw.
City staff continues to move forward negotiating an effluent reuse agreement with Shell Canada. Pump upgrades at the Alaska Highway Booster Station are nearly complete with an end of August completion anticipated.

DEPARTMENTAL FOCUS The aim of the Parks and Recreation Department is to contribute to the personal well being and quality of life for the citizens of Dawson Creek.
REGULAR MONTHLY/SEASONAL ACTIVITIES COMPLETED THIS MONTH Departmental Summaries
It has been a very busy summer with many programs and projects throughout the Parks and Recreation Department. The staff within the Department did a great job in delivering summer programs, implementing operational and capital projects and striving for excellence with the beatification projects and partnerships that bring us many compliments as a municipality.
I would like to personally thank all of our staff, especially the summer students returning to school for all your efforts in continuing to make the Parks and Recreation Department a great place to work.
This report outlines some of the many highlights within the Department and captures a cross section of the Departments accomplishments.
Memorial and Kin Arena Maintenance is coming to an end at the Memorial Arena as we prepare for our 2010 summer ice programs. August 22nd, Minor Hockey summer school will start and be the beginning of a busy fall and winter season.
The Department is currently looking at new and additional programs to ensure remaining ice opportunities are sold to any group that is interested in recreational skating or hockey.
Repairs will be performed on the Kin Arena roof with additional capital investments into the roof if approved in the Spring 2011. The roof is currently 22 years old and we have had some challenges with leaking and snow sliding issues that need to be addressed.

Upgrades were completed in the two dressing room bathrooms. Plans are to complete the other two remaining washrooms at the end of next season. The changes have been made to have private washrooms for the users rather than the sharing of washroom space between two adjoining change rooms. New netting was installed at the Kin Arena with the old netting finding a new home protecting children at the newest playground at the slo pitch and soccer fields.
Kenn Borek Aquatic Centre We have been busy with fitness programs, swim lessons, private lessons, and introductory to synchro swimming. We have also implemented a new drop in rate for registered fitness programs this summer and have received vey positive responses to the new options. We are preparing for shut down and completed scheduled maintenance this coming September. Due to the water restrictions currently in place the Department is reviewing the schedule and may adjust according to the restrictions within the bylaw. We are working hard to conserve and look for additional ways beyond the bylaw to do our part to be more water efficient. The Annual maintenance shut down of Kenn Borek Aquatic Centre will be September 5th – 19th. Shut-down will include annual maintenance on equipment, cleaning, painting, and the exchanging of any equipment needing to be repaired that has been identified in our 52 week maintenance program
Our Aquatic Coordinator has been reviewing pool standards for staff and will implement them in the August Demo Comp for staff. All staff will be recertifying AFD (Aquatic First Aid) this fall.
Seals had a very busy season. They hosted their Navy and Gold, Invitational Swim Meet and Regional Swim Meet. They will end their season with many participants going on to Provincials.

Over the years they have enhanced the Kenn Borek Aquatic Centre by donating funding for diving blocks, purchasing lane ropes, working with partners to supply the portable bleachers and other equipment to enhance their program.
Bev McCallum will be attending the BCRPA Fitness Symposium as a presenter. She has become a Master Instructor for fitness.
