ADJOURNMENT 3 Executive Committee Agenda – Context Notes For meeting of May 18, 2016 Revised: May 12/16 Agenda From Context Notes No. 6.3 RH A visioning session is being proposed by staff for the June Trust Council meeting, both to address the need and requests for such a discussion at Trust Council and to replace the San Juan County dialogue session which is needing postponement. 6.4 CF Staff has already invited speakers from the agencies noted on the marine shipping session outline and advised that the proposed topics are only suggestions. The session is timed to facilitate travel by float plane from Vancouver. 8.2.1 SSI LTC Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee discussed possibilities around encouraging people to use rainwater catchment systems through the use of incentives. Staff advised that this would require a legislative change similar to the one that implemented NAPTEP. The resolution from the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee is much broader but is intended to achieve similar objectives. SS-2016-72 It was MOVED and SECONDED, “that the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee request the Executive Committee to investigate the possibility of amendments to the Islands Trust Act to broaden the Islands Trust’s ability to serve its communities and to strengthen its mandate to preserve and protect.” This issue is not addressed by the Strategic Plan. Staff advises that if EC would like to consider this in future, it should request that, for now, this item be added to the legislative monitoring chart under legislative change requests. Trust Area Services has no capacity to provide more than that until the State of the Islands and Policy Statement project is complete. Salt Spring Trustees could raise this as part of Trust Council’s vision session at June TC, could raise it as a proposed amendment to the strategic plan and / or direct staff could consider ways to address it as part of the Salt Spring incorporation transition study. 11 LG/CF In accordance with the EC’s policy (2.4.vi), correspondence items are for information only, unless raised for action by a member of the EC. In some instances, correspondence to others is included, if it relates to the Executive Committee’s business. 12.1 RH The EC work program is amended before each meeting with suggested priorities proposed by staff. By resolution, the EC can provide direction regarding new items or the order of priorities. 4 Executive Committee Minutes of Regular Meeting Date: April 27, 2016 Location: Islands Trust Office, Salt Spring Island Members Present: Peter Luckham, Chair Laura Busheikin, Vice Chair Susan Morrison, Vice Chair George Grams, Vice Chair Staff Present: Russ Hotsenpiller, Chief Administrative Officer Cindy Shelest, Director, Administrative Services (by phone) Lisa Gordon, Director, Trust Area Services (by phone) Robert Kojima, Acting Director, Local Planning Services (by phone) Clare Frater, Policy Analyst, Trust Area Services (by phone) Mandy Giesbrecht, Executive Coordinator (Recorder) 1.
