1
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:55,000
This one is the last one on the chain.

2
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,000
This is the last one on the chain.

3
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:59,000
None of that. Okay.

4
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
I'll call this meeting back to order. Good evening.

5
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Welcome to the Resort Municipality of Wester, regular council meeting for January 20th.

6
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000
And thank you for joining my name, Jack Crumpton. I'm the mayor of Wester and the chair of this meeting.

7
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:21,000
The Resort Municipality of Wester is grateful to be on the shared unseated territory of the squamish nation and the low-autnation.

8
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000
We respect and commit to a deep consideration of their history, culture, stewardship, and voice.

9
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:37,000
One of the things that we do at our Municipality and Municipality Cross British Columbia is that we acknowledge people who have the freedom of the municipality at all of our meetings when they are in the room.

10
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:45,000
And Doug Forseth is with us tonight. So welcome Doug. Thank you for joining us. We're grateful to have no clapping.

11
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Thank you. This is good training for later. I think.

12
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Allow me to introduce the members of our Wester elected council here with us this evening.

13
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000

14
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,000
The side him is Councillor Kathy Jewett. The side me is Councillor Jeff Murrell.

15
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
This is Councillor Jesse Morden. The side her is Councillor Jen Ford.

16
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,000
And to my far right is Councillor Arthur Dejon.

17
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:16,000
As well as our council members here, we have a number of our professional staff team including our chief administrative officer, Ted Battiston.

18
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:27,000
General managers, James Halicee, and Dale Micaslin as well as acting general manager of corporate services and public safety as well as our manager of legislative services and corporate officer.

19
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Pauline Lysett. That's the most titles one person has ever carried at one time.

20
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,000
The side her is our deputy corporate officer, Caitlin Hodgson.

21
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:51,000
I will look please for a motion that council adopt the regular council meeting agenda of January 20th as a method to include the 2026 climate action and environment select committee of council member appointments under other business.

22
00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:02,000
And the late council package circulated on January 20th to include an update of schedule B force agenda item 11.1 in late correspondence.

23
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,000
It's moved by Councillor for a second by Councillor Jewett. Are there any opposed motion carries?

24
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Motion please to adopt the regular council meeting minutes of January 6th moved by Councillor Dejon.

25
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Second by Councillor Morden. Are there any opposed motion carries?

26
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Our first item on the agenda is.

27
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Mr. Recreate our community kitchen society. I'm pleased to welcome Mr. Rocks director.

28
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,000
So last banning, who will provide us with an update of the Mr. Rocks society.

29
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Ms. Banning, nice to see you. Thank you for joining us.

30
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Thank you for inviting me.

31
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:49,000
As mentioned, I'm a director of Whistler Rocks. We're a new charity.

32
00:05:49,000 --> 00:06:03,000
We really only got going in September of this past year, 2025 after getting our first funding from the 100 women of Whistler to whom we are eternally grateful.

33
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Since then, we've been running a community kitchen where we serve dinners free of charge to locals who are struggling financially.

34
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:26,000
There are quite a few people in that category. Probably most of you are familiar with this year's living wage report that ranks Whistler as the most expensive community and B.C.

35
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
I'm sure we all feel that.

36
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Among the ways that lower wage earners cope is it impacts their ability to put together a good meal.

37
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000
I mean, they restrict grocery purchases, of course.

38
00:06:43,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Accommodation wise, we've got lots of people living in vehicles or make shift housing or overcrowded situations where they often have limited kitchen access and sometimes no kitchen access at all.

39
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:09,000
And these are mostly working people. They are among the people that keep this community running and they're who we aim to support.

40
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:17,000
So our dinners have been held at the Whistler Mountain ski club at in Creek side.

41
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:25,000
They're 100% we're 100% volunteer organization. These are all volunteer efforts.

42
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:35,000
The dinners are prepared by like a team of volunteer prep cooks headed by a volunteer guest chef.

43
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Starting with town council is very on Jesse Morden, who made a fantastic chicken on Chaladas.

44
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Last night was Zach, who is the head chef at Portobello, who made shepherd's pie that is like so beyond what you imagine shepherd's pie could ever be.

45
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:05,000
So these meals are all on a pretty strict budget, but they're really good meals. They're all, you know, nutritionally well balanced with a vegetable side dish.

46
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:19,000
They're eaten at like two long communal tables to encourage mingling and afterwards they're like little desserts and herbal tea to encourage people to to linger.

47
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Like we, you know, don't want this to be these to be eaten run experiences.

48
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Whistler is a town that is extremely short on places to go in the evening without spending money and part of our purposes to provide like, you know, a warm and welcoming place to spend an evening, you know, social cohesion and, you know, gathering places is part of our mission.

49
00:08:48,000 --> 00:09:02,000
So last night we had 82 guests, which is about average, we get a lot of people in the sort of lifting demographic, you know, daughter 20s and 30s.

50
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Fair number of families with young kids last night for the first time, we had quite a few seniors.

51
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:33,000
So our dinners are open to all, not just those who are struggling financially, we do get, you know, some fairly well off people that are coming to, you know, support the community to enjoy the community vibe and to support the cause by donating.

52
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:47,000
The CRA recognizes that we need those donations in order to keep the dinners going so they have, you know, explicitly approved that inclusive approach that we take.

53
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:55,000
So the result is that all walks of life come together and, you know, it's a, it's a really fun event.

54
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:13,000
The community support, we've been stunned as, but amazing. We've, you know, we thought we were going to have to strong arm our friends into volunteering to make these happen and we just have a huge roster of volunteers, a lot of repeat volunteers.

55
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:23,000
You know, so much so many forums of community support, like, emotionally that the food bank promotes our dinners.

56
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:31,000
We've had, like, local businesses, you know, step up to land equipment, donate supplies, donate food.

57
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Pemby farms, donate the produce that they're not going to, you know, that would otherwise go to waste and then the ski club itself gives us a, a really big break on the nightly rental.

58
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:57,000
So all of this is enabling us to stretch our budget a lot further than we thought it was going to, to go and things are going so well in that regard.

59
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Because of the level of community support, I mean, it seems like something that the community really wants to succeed.

60
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Our biggest hurdle at this point is a regulatory limitation that in the, I mean, we love the whistler ski club, but the setup there is such that Vancouver Coastal Health will only give us 14 temporary food service permits per calendar year.

61
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Which means that we can only host about once every three, every three weeks, you know, we'd like to host more often than that.

62
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Our ultimate goal is to settle in a place with a commercial grade kitchen, and then we could get the type of service food service permit that would let us service as often as, you know, our budget allowed.

63
00:11:51,000 --> 00:12:03,000
So we're hoping that something like that might arise out of northlands or the whistler creek whistler creek west, you know, or the repurpose spruce grove.

64
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:13,000
You know, and that would be obviously something that we would be sharing with other non-profits if something like that could come about.

65
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:23,000
So I'm a sea, I've exceeded my a lot of time. Thank you very much for my six minutes and 25 seconds.

66
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:32,000
And I hope, yeah, I hope that all of you and everyone here will attend Whistler Rock's dinner at some point. Thank you.

67
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Thank you very much, Ms. Belly. grateful for your time.

68
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Moving on to our next item, which is the public commenting question period.

69
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:52,000
We are going to do this in two sets of questions because Councillor Warden and I will have to declare a conflict and leave.

70
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Did you take?

71
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
No.

72
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
No problem.

73
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,000
So it is now time for the public commenting question period.

74
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,000
The way this works is that you come to the lecture and you share your name and your neighborhood.

75
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:18,000
And then you have five minutes to share your thoughts or ask any questions that you might have.

76
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Sorry, three minutes.

77
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Good coaching. Thank you.

78
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:34,000
The first presenter tonight is John Sinclair.

79
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Good evening, Council John Sinclair, Spring Creek.

80
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,000
I just want to talk about safety and make sure that we're all at the same page.

81
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,000
You passed something recently regarding e-bikes on trails and things like that.

82
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000
I just want some clarity and make sure I understand.

83
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,000
If following MOT in regarding these issues, you said you were aligning yourself with administration

84
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,000
transportation to bring it all up to speed in 2026, I guess, right?

85
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:07,000
I mean, MOT as far as their jurisdiction has always been MOT jurisdictions of what we're doing tonight.

86
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:19,000
And you stick around and listen to us debate the by-law is considering vehicle use on our value trail and other public spaces.

87
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:27,000
We're not stepping into the jurisdiction that is already the jurisdiction of the province of BC.

88
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,000
We're right. Stay in our lane.

89
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
The rules of the road exist.

90
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
So I just want to go over a few of them.

91
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,000
You're now going to allow throttle bikes.

92
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Okay?

93
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:44,000
But are you going to enforce 500 watts, 32 kilometers, helmets, off sidewalks, and walking bikes on crosswalks?

94
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
These are all rules of the road.

95
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Any of those laws that are the jurisdictions of the province are enforced.

96
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
But they're not enforced by us. We have our own.

97
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,000
I'm wondering Mr. Nicholson, do you have an answer to that question?

98
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Well, actually, you know what?

99
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
High law conversation later tonight, why you stick around and watch?

100
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
I don't think I physically can. So, okay, I'm not feeling that well.

101
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Yeah, well the answer is we're going to enforce the law of the RCMP and enforce the law, yes.

102
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
And by law. What's that?

103
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,000
And by law.

104
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Yes. Yeah, the enforce the by law as as well.

105
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Okay, so we're going to see a better uptake of helmets.

106
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Making sure the bikes don't go over 32 kilometers an hour off the sidewalks.

107
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,000
The helmet law is not a by law.

108
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,000
It's financial law.

109
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
And so that will be a law that stays in place.

110
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000
It's a differential law. It's not a municipal law.

111
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:42,000
And so it'll be enforced by the RCMP, not as a result of our by law.

112
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,000
This is all about safety.

113
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
I drive a big vehicle for professional vehicle.

114
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,000
So I'm very scared that these kids adults, anyone on these e-bikes are coming in to those roadways

115
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000
and just zooming across them. I'm stopped and I'm engaging.

116
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,000
And they're just going right on that closing rate on an e-bike going 44 kilometers an hour is wicked fast.

117
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:09,000
So I need some assurances from you. Now that you've made these changes that you're following through with all this stuff.

118
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:16,000
We, the RCMP does enforcement and they enforce provincial law and they enforce by laws as they come.

119
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
But we do not have our own laws around speed limits on roads.

120
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:28,000
I just want to make sure that you guys are trying to nudge the schools and whistle-black home and the police to try and make sure the roads are safer.

121
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Yep, for sure.

122
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Okay, thank you.

123
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Of course.

124
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Yeah, thank you.

125
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:42,000
I will now declare a conflict of interest and I will leave because the next speakers would like to speak about the zoning amendment for Alta Lake Road.

126
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
And my daughter, Harriet, goes to the whistle-black home school.

127
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:52,000
I have to declare a conflict because my daughter also goes to water school.

128
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Okay, while they leave the room, I'm looking for a deafening earnick.

129
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
It's a first speaker.

130
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,000
You may come to the podium and tell us where you're from.

131
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Your neighborhood.

132
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Good evening council, deafening earnick from Czechoslovakia.

133
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
My name is deafening earnick.

134
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:24,000
I am the grade five teacher at the whistle or water school as well as a graduate class of 2017.

135
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Like many families, mine moved to Whistler so I could attend this school.

136
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
We found not only an education but a community.

137
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:40,000
My parents worked, volunteered, recreated, and contributed to Whistler in all the ways that keep this wonderful community running.

138
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,000
After graduating, I left for university and earned my teaching degree.

139
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,000
I am deeply grateful to have been able to return to Whistler,

140
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000
something many of my peers have not been able to do.

141
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:59,000
I could return because of two things, living wage employment and stable housing, both provided by the school.

142
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:06,000
That combination is rare and without it, returning simply would not have been possible.

143
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Today, I serve the community by educating local children.

144
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:20,000
I am incredibly proud of my work and the very real way it supports local families who are themselves working hard to build and sustain their lives in Whistler.

145
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Now I am looking ahead.

146
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,000
My partner and I are asking the same questions many young adults here are asking.

147
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Can we build a life in Whistler?

148
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Can we afford a home?

149
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Will there be childcare that allows me to return to work when the time comes?

150
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Will our future children have access the kind of education that we both value?

151
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Your decision on the rezoning of law 34 has direct consequences for my life.

152
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:53,000
If the school does not secure a permanent location, I will lose my job.

153
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000
But that's not the most important point.

154
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
The larger issue is this.

155
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,000
When education and childcare are taken away, Whistler becomes less livable.

156
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Fewer families can stay.

157
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Fewer young people like myself who are so fortunate to be raised here can return.

158
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000
The community as a whole is diminished.

159
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:20,000
The decisions made today shape who is able to live, work and raise families here in the future.

160
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,000
This decision is not just about land use.

161
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:30,000
It is about whether we are doing what we can to ensure that Whistler remains a place where young people can put down roots,

162
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,000
give back and build full sustainable lives.

163
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Thank you.

164
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Thank you so much.

165
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Next up we have Mary Mathews.

166
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Hello.

167
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Council members, because the mayor has stepped aside.

168
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000
My name is Mary Mathews.

169
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000
My name is Mary Mathews.

170
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
My name is Mary Mathews.

171
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000
My name is Mary Mathews.

172
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:16,000
4.5 years ago, our family made the decision to return home permanently to raise our two young children here.

173
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Whistler is where we live, work, raise our kids and care for ageing parents, many of whom you know.

174
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,000
And we are deeply invested in the community's future.

175
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:37,000
A critical part of our ability to live and contribute to Whistler, however, has been accessed to reliable and affordable child care.

176
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:43,000
As my husband and I both work full time in senior management positions.

177
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Our family was fortunate to secure a child care spot at the earlier center.

178
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Now called Wild Flowers for our eldest, nearly four years ago, and for our son two years ago, raised still currently enrolled.

179
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:06,000
We've been absolutely blown away by the quality of care, professionalism, and intentionalities of the teachers and staff.

180
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Beyond the educational benefits, reliable and affordable child care has had a profound impact on our family's ability to function, work and stay in Whistler.

181
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Before securing daycare, we struggled for over a year trying to piece together child care through nannies, nanny shares, friends, working with our kids on our labs.

182
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:34,000
The cost was staggering approximately $4,000 a month, compared to roughly $800 per month.

183
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000
We now pay for full time licensed care.

184
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:44,000
For many families in Whistler, nanny care at that cost is simply unattainable.

185
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Even more damaging was the stress burnout and missed work days caused by unreliable care.

186
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Early years child care is not a luxury.

187
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000
It's an essential community infrastructure.

188
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:06,000
It supports working families, strengthens our local workforce, and helps ensure Whistler remains a livable community, not just a resort.

189
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Tonight, I respectfully ask yourselves the council to support the expansion and protection of licensed early years child care spaces in Whistler, including the continued growth of the Whistler,

190
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000
while their schools early year programs.

191
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,000
By investing in child care today, you are investing in Whistler's future.

192
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,000
His families is workforce and it's long-term sustainability.

193
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Thank you.

194
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,000
As a resident of Ulta Lake Road, I also just want to note that.

195
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Thank you very much for your time and for your leadership in this issue.

196
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Thank you very much.

197
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Next step, I'm going to Gabriel Alden.

198
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Good evening, action mayor and council.

199
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:07,000
My name is Gabriel Alden and I am the Licensing Manager for Whistler Waldorf Schools, License Child Care Programs.

200
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:15,000
The school currently operates 30 child care spaces full-time, which serves 45 to 50 children.

201
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:23,000
I'm not here today to explain that Whistler faces a child care shortage, or how that impacts the community.

202
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:29,000
This is well documented, and I know that you're aware of this better than most.

203
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,000
What I'm here to share today is a difficult but important reality.

204
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:41,000
That without a permanent site, Whistler Waldorf School cannot sustain its child care programs.

205
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:48,000
The result would be an immediate loss of child care spaces, increasing pressure on an already overextended system.

206
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,000
And these spaces take can take years to rebuild.

207
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:58,000
In BC it can take five to six years to open a new program.

208
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Recent local experience illustrates this, as we know in Pemberton,

209
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:08,000
the recent effort to increase child care have taken over five years and they're still not there.

210
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:15,000
And even when you're fortunate enough to have a purpose built facility, child care doesn't simply appear.

211
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Here in Whistler, the Spring Creek Daycare sat open for nearly a decade until Waldorf was able to reopen it in 2019.

212
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Across British Columbia, the greatest constraint on child care is not the buildings but the people.

213
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:37,000
We don't have enough educators and without competitive compensation and housing support.

214
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Communities cannot attract and retain qualified early childhood educators to staff its licensed programs.

215
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Whistler Waldorf School has been highly successful in addressing these challenges because it has an integrated school and child care model.

216
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:05,000
By sharing admissions, administration, operating systems, we were able to reduce overhead and invest it directly where it matters most.

217
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
It's in the people, the educators.

218
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:17,000
This allows us to offer competitive wages and meaningful benefits, including tuition and remission for our educators, professional development and housing support.

219
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:30,000
We've also been able to assist aspiring ECEs to obtain and upgrade their certification through training and professional development support.

220
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:37,000
This has made it possible for us to attract and retain early childhood educators in a high-cost community.

221
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:46,000
So we're currently operating a thriving high-quality program with a dedicated team of educators, including a team that has recently been nominated for

222
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:52,000
the Prime Minister's Award for Child Care Excellence and we want to continue this work.

223
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:58,000
We want to continue providing licensed child care and supporting families and whistler.

224
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:12,000
So we ask for your support in rezoning Lot 34 to secure a future for our longstanding child care programs and to protect this essential piece of whistler's community infrastructure.

225
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Thank you.

226
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Thank you very much.

227
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Next up, I have Blossom Morningstar.

228
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Good evening, Council.

229
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
I'm Blossom, and I live on Altalate Road.

230
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
I'm the class representative for Grade 9.

231
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:47,000
I've been a part of the Whistler World of School since I was a toddler, only two years old.

232
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Now, as a Grade 9 student, I'm looking ahead to grade 10 and the start of my senior high school years.

233
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,000
After my own home, Whistler World of Physiplists were spent the most time in my life.

234
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Some of my earliest and most cherished memories were made in the classrooms and on the school grounds.

235
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,000
I made so many friends there, most of whom actually still in class with today.

236
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,000
I lent to knit and crochet and handwritten class in the lower grades,

237
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:18,000
practice violin and enjoyed acting in class plays every year of middle school.

238
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:23,000
And only last year, I took my first overnight winter trip with a high school.

239
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:31,000
This year's trip is coming up soon, and we're looking forward to snowshoeing and going ski touring in our gorgeous mountains.

240
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:36,000
If our school cannot secure a permanent site, I will be forced to change schools,

241
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000
along with a hundred and seventy-six other students.

242
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:46,000
While this is technically possible, from a student perspective, schools are just not interchangeable without real impact.

243
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Schools are not just a building or a location for us, and this isn't about one school being better than the other.

244
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:58,000
It's about the relationships, routines, and sensible longing that are built over many years.

245
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Chained schools can be one of the most stressful transitions for young people, just like chaining homes or jobs can be for adults,

246
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
especially when it's not a choice.

247
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:14,000
We didn't choose this uncertainty, but we are the ones who would feel the consequences most directly.

248
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Chained schools would mean losing trusted teachers, could even mean losing friends,

249
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,000
who mean adjusting to a new social dynamic, adjusting to new teaching sales,

250
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,000
and losing the personalized education that so many of us love.

251
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Right now, we, the students, are our important moment.

252
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:39,000
We are beginning to plan for next year, co-selection, credits, and our paths towards graduation.

253
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:46,000
For us and grade 9, international exchange opportunities are also a very important part of the grade 10 experience.

254
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Many of us already thinking about where we want to go, what it can mean for us, and what we could learn from it.

255
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:58,000
These opportunities are something we've been preparing and looking forward to for many years.

256
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:03,000
The first time I remember talking about it was in grade 5, almost five years ago.

257
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:12,000
It's a very highly anticipated event for everyone who attends a wall of school, as a memory that those who are lucky enough to go carry with them for life.

258
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Not knowing of our school continued makes a hard to feel settled, or for us to plan for any of these important pieces for next year.

259
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,000
As you weigh the factors before you, I hope you all consider the student perspective.

260
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,000
The importance of stability and consistency in our education.

261
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Thank you for listening.

262
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Thank you very much, and I have Kelly Hand.

263
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Okay, acting mayor Murrow, council.

264
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Thank you for the opportunity to speak this evening.

265
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,000
My name is Kelly Hand.

266
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,000
I live at 8401.

267
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Read Alley.

268
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
And on P.J.

269
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,960
We see this night as a defining moment, the moment is not here by chance, and is not by coincidence. It's been decades in the making, the war that

270
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:37,480
of school must leave current location. A lot of 34 is the only location out of 50 evaluated that is both suitable

271
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:43,120
for a school site and financially viable for our organization. The landowner's willingness to donate the land

272
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:50,720
reflects an extraordinary commitment to education and community legacy. There's a rare moment and one we cannot afford to let pass.

273
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:57,120
With the Welder School, is a nonprofit publicly serving organization that has provided licensed

274
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:04,720
education in child care for 25 years. As we've already heard tonight, it serves 177 students from

275
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:10,880
kindergarten to grade 12 and essential child care locations in two locations, Bruce Grove and Spring Creek.

276
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:20,160
The organization is neither a private school with high tuition and not a for-profit model nor is it a private interest group.

277
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:27,120
Like with there's other schools and daycares, the school operates in the public interest, serving all with

278
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:34,000
their families, serving workforce stability and community well-being. Supporting this rezoning means that with

279
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:40,560
there stands for the values outlined in the official community plan. It's a conscious choice to nurture and support

280
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:47,360
family, child and youth health. It's a choice that ensures with their routines and independent educational

281
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:53,920
choice. This helps students find the school that fits their needs within the community that they already live.

282
00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:02,800
It means supporting accessibility and inclusion, the school operates on an accessible tuition model today,

283
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,320
approximately 30% of our students receive tuition support.

284
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:14,400
This is a full-circle moment. This area, the Alta Lake House, Whistler's first school,

285
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:20,640
and was the first board of schools home, started by Vicki Bumbrey and Peggy Vogler and Michelle Cooker-Gadler in

286
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:27,040
10, it's tonight. We respectfully ask council to support the proposal, rezoning and a view this decision

287
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:32,720
as an investment in Whistler's long-term community health and educational landscape. Thanks for your leadership

288
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,280
and your care to bring this to the attention to shape the future of this community.

289
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:42,880
And in parting, we want to share a quote from our current neighbor in the Spruce Grove Circle.

290
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:48,880
They said, as neighbors, the Whistler Walder School have been welcoming and inclusive. Most of all,

291
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:55,360
their presence has provided positive energy and a vibrancy to Spruce Grove that will be sorely missed.

292
00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:00,320
The next tenants will have big shoes to fill. So thank you for allowing us to be here tonight.

293
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:06,160
Thank you very much. My next speaker is Shannon Smith.

294
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:11,440
Oh, she's back.

295
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:24,240
Public speaking is my favorite thing. So just bear with me for a second please.

296
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,000
Hello acting mayor council staff and community members.

297
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:40,640
Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the mayor council and staff for the

298
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:47,360
commitment and hard work you offer our community. For those of you, I have not had the opportunity to meet

299
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:53,440
my name is Shannon Smith. I live on Alpha Lake Road. I was one of the founding families for the Walder

300
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:58,640
School and was located in my family's home for the first two years. I wish to clarify that I was

301
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:04,400
speaking today to address the process being undertaken to change the zoning. I'm not speaking

302
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:12,240
an opposition or in favor of the Walder School proposal at this time. I sent a letter earlier which

303
00:34:12,240 --> 00:34:17,440
I will reference which was included in your packages for this meeting. Since writing the letter,

304
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:24,720
I have come to understand that apparently the rezoning proposal for lack 34 follows our OCP and provincial

305
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:33,680
guidelines. So apparently there is no need for a public hearing. My opinion is that even if this is the case,

306
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:41,440
for the RMOW to go ahead and rezone this property from residential use to subdivide it and allow

307
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:49,040
a large community school to be built adjacent to residential homes is not a small thing. It is an enormous

308
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:55,200
decision that could forever affect our community. Isn't it reasonable to slow down

309
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:01,680
leaning to our core values for public participation that I have referenced in my letter and encourage

310
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:07,680
that engagement? If we do not abide by these values during times like this, how can we honestly state that we

311
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:17,040
follow them? It is all about trust. We want to all live in a community where we feel the value

312
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:23,440
this members and heard when decisions are being made by government and developers. Once again,

313
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:28,960
I respectfully request that Council this first third reading of the zoning amendment by a law number

314
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:39,680
2303 for a lot 34 DL2-246 until the RMOW core values for public participation are fully met. Thank you.

315
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:46,240
Thank you very much. The final speaker is Nancy Stevens.

316
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:06,880
Thank you. Apologies. No, no, it's fine. My name is Nancy Stevens. I'm also a resident

317
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:14,240
and owner since the late 80s on Autolake Road. I also am not speaking against the Whistler

318
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:20,400
Waldorf School, but to the RMOW's approach and the judgment to exclude the community even though

319
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:28,560
community engagement is on their strategic plan priorities. I am anticipating clarification on many

320
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:35,280
concerns and issues surrounding the section since all three readings are to be amalgamated. I also expect

321
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:41,360
details report data and the time for its thorough discussion and debate which would normally

322
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:48,880
follow the second reading after in a lot of time for all interested parties and the community to participate

323
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:55,360
in this major change to zoning in the environment of the area affected. Excuse me. I would hate to

324
00:36:55,360 --> 00:37:02,560
lose the WWS as well. That's an entirely different subject as far as I'm concerned. I know what relates

325
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:08,720
to them and it's because of them, but this is something that I feel is part of our governance

326
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:15,200
in this community and we're all a part of this community and we care about it. There's so many questions

327
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:21,200
and very few answers or details to support this amendment and all that it means to the neighborhoods

328
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:28,480
to be affected without due process and engagement. So if they were aware of your aware and everybody

329
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:34,800
was aware that Spruce Grove was never to be permanent and I wasn't, how does it come down to a

330
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:43,920
few weeks' notice for so many who have had knowledge or input and is that acceptable governance

331
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:52,080
for this to move forward in such an urgent manner. So these are important issues that I hope that

332
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:58,000
council will provide clarity on. It seems all measures and facilitations have been solely on

333
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:05,280
behalf and in close collaboration with landowners, the school, and the RMOW, but without community

334
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:13,120
consideration and inclusion. Key points for clarity, this amendment with all its allowances will

335
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:21,360
remain in place for the future, even if this does not proceed with the WWS at this juncture.

336
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:28,880
So I don't know if everybody is even aware of the fact that if things fall through for supporting the

337
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:35,280
world or the whistler world or school that once these amendments have been made everything is in place

338
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:42,240
for this type of building, this type of rezoning, all the extra traffic. So there's obviously

339
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:49,680
a notable expectation to increase the capacity of the school from 175 to 275 attendees.

340
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:56,400
Could we have clarity on this factor in the process and the time in the limited time a lot for full

341
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:03,680
declosure and discussion within the community? How does this urgency to complete affect the community

342
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:09,920
and its environment where does this set of precedent in how matters can or will be handled by our

343
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:16,480
elected Council members in the future? So since the RMOW has the ability and authority to enact

344
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:22,880
and enable zoning changes for the betterment of the community, was it impossible to be zone the

345
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:32,960
existing site or even just to delay the fact that they need to remove themselves from this and

346
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:40,720
have given them an extension on their lease so that they can do more or engage the community

347
00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:48,320
or look for perhaps another option. I'm not saying that this is the wrong option but we haven't had

348
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:56,960
engagement. So if we are to move forward I would like to suggest that this will be like the second reading

349
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:01,520
because the first reading is supposed to be just the notification and details. The second reading is

350
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:11,360
for full debate more data and information and discussion and debate before the third reading and

351
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:16,720
that the third reading will be postponed to a later date to the next meeting or whatever.

352
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:25,440
So anyway, I support my husband's sports education arts and community but we all have a responsibility

353
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:31,440
to ensure that our council is always acting with transparency, accountability, inclusion and

354
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:38,000
responsibility to our wonderful, beautiful, small community and what we have in represent. Thank you.

355
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:46,480
Thank you very much and that concludes our public comment and question period. I'm going to bring the

356
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:57,520
mayor back in here and he can take over so once again.

357
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:34,960
Okay, we'll now move on to the mayor's report. Richard Dick Philipp read passed away

358
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:41,840
peacefully in Vancouver following a battle with Alzheimer's disease. He was a devoted husband of 46 years

359
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:49,120
to bringing he was the loving father to Matt and to Brian, a cherished grandfather and a mentor to many.

360
00:41:51,200 --> 00:42:01,200
He was I called him Uncle Dick. He was my dad's best friend. It was a long battle that he had with

361
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:08,400
Alzheimer's and he will be deeply missed. He was someone who loved to ski and be in the mountains. He spent

362
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:17,120
as much time as he possibly could here in his life. He was a builder. He was pivotal in the

363
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:25,360
founding of the UBC baseball program. He was deeply committed to his family and to his friends and

364
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,680
all to Vista will miss him. I mean, I think,

365
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:36,720
Vista in Vancouver and B.C. will miss him. He was a great man. Dick will be missed.

366
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:44,960
Applications are now open for the community enrichment program. Each year the MW financially supports

367
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:51,600
local, not for profit organizations or societies that benefit the resort municipality and move the community

368
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:57,920
closer to its vision through the community enrichment program. The application process is open

369
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:05,360
from January 26th to February 17th at 4 p.m. Application forums and program information can be found at

370
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:15,200

371
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:25,200
the Lampost banner program. At our last meeting, our former CAO Genie Collin left us in the gift

372
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:32,720
as she left was a Lampost banner that she really liked. So this is a highly prized opportunity to be a

373
00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:42,080
part of being featured on wizard for the 2026 and 2027 summer seasons submissions are open until

374
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:51,280
February 12th. You can find details at wizard.ca slash banners. North America's largest queer ski

375
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:58,880
event returns from January 25th to February 1st an opportunity to bring together the LGBTQ plus community

376
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:04,720
and whistler culture and celebration. This year's festival brings a new producer TFD presents.

377
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:11,120
A lot of fresh programming, the return of the daily guided skiing and snowboarding and a

378
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:17,760
renewed spirit of connection and belonging. The RMRW is proud to support this long standing event through

379
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:24,160
funding to expand the programming, flying the rainbow flag at municipal hall in the wizard public library,

380
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:30,240
placing banners in the village, lighting the fits bridge rainbow for the week. I think that's

381
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:37,040
the best lighting of it is pretty nice. Go see the bridge. It's fantastic. Hosting special programs at

382
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:42,960
the wizard public library and assisting with the popular pride parade through the village on January 30th.

383
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:47,760
I may even get the opportunity to read the pride proclamation at one of their events, which I always

384
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:52,560
find to be a lot of fun. You can find out everything that you want to know about the

385
00:44:52,560 --> 00:45:01,040
pride festival at whistlerpridefestival.com. For more than 20 years whistler and

386
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:12,000
In Carouselua, Japan have enjoyed a proud sister city partnership with which foster strong cultural and economic ties and encourages tourism between the two communities.

387
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:26,000
The youth exchange program is a valued part of this ongoing partnership. This year, Whistler welcomes Carouselua youth for homestay in March and Whistler youth travel to Carouselua in October.

388
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Ladies and session, about the exchange for interested local students in grade 8 or 9 and their parents will be held this Thursday, January 22nd at 7 p.m. at the Murdoch Philip Community Center, please come out.

389
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Whistler water quality improvements are happening now to meet health candidates, updated guidelines and to help protect your pipes, fittings and fixtures on February 9th, we will be adjusting the pH levels in South Whistler's water system.

390
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:08,000
If you're a business that relies on water now is the time to prepare for the pH change, it is something you should do and you can learn more at Whistler.ca slash south Whistler water.

391
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:16,000
New municipal parking rates are in effect, new hourly rates for municipal parking lots and metered street parking went into effect on January 19th.

392
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:30,000
The rate change applies to municipal streets parks the library and Whistler conference center, it does not apply to daylots 1 to 5 you can visit whistler.ca slash parking for more information on that.

393
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,000
If anything to add to the mayor's report.

394
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:38,000
Thank you so much.

395
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:46,000
We've got coming up at the end of the month, the 10th anniversary of the opening of the ODain Art Museum.

396
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:52,000
I think we'd all agree that it's been an incredible addition to our community.

397
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:59,000
There's a special show on from C to Sky, the Art of BC, they're pulling treasures out of the vault.

398
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:08,000
And also, if you remember, you're able to sign up for a really big do on January 31st at the museum.

399
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,000
I hope that we see you there.

400
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:26,000
On your way in tonight you probably notice that Earth's Whistler has a new show up in the gallery and it's called Woodwork for obvious reasons, it's all made of wood and there's a real spectrum of artists here.

401
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Everything from oak to cedar and many other woods and I hope that you take a look on the way by.

402
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,000
The anonymous art shows coming up.

403
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:43,000
I'm signed up for Paint and SIP, February 7th to create my art piece.

404
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,000
It's the only time I ever make art.

405
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,000
I didn't go to Waldorf.

406
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:56,000
So invite you to join for the adult paint SIP.

407
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:00,000
Obviously, we're sipping something that's not juice.

408
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:06,000
And then the one other thing is that the SLCC that woven pathways continues.

409
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,000
If you haven't seen it, please do go and check it out.

410
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Thank you.

411
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:16,000
I think this is an appropriate venue to do this.

412
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,000
We had local athletes compete at the first event of the free ride will tour.

413
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,000
Once again, we were very successful.

414
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:25,000
Wait ten whole was on the podium in third place.

415
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Marcus Gogan was in sixth place.

416
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:33,000
And I'm just looking up, walk on Harvey, who's new to the tour and looked very nervous at the start.

417
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,000
But he nailed his jumps.

418
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,000
He landed.

419
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,000
He finished and I think he had a top 10 finish.

420
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:42,000
If you guys are listening, which I doubt they are, but maybe their parents are.

421
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,000
The whole town's real proud of you.

422
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,000
On that note note, Julia Palshjat's going to the Olympics.

423
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:49,000
Which is very cool.

424
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,000
And it's going to be very, very, very, very, very no clapping.

425
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Ralph.

426
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,000
Stop it.

427
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,000
All right.

428
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,000
That concludes the mayor's report.

429
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Moving on to consideration of committee.

430
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,000
The whole recommendations.

431
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,000
We have the freedom and espality report.

432
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,000
Move by Councillor Ford.

433
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Seconded by Councillor Jewett.

434
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:16,000
This includes the removal of section 4.4.

435
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:21,000
I'd like to move removal of the whole of section 4.

436
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,000
And if there's a seconder.

437
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:24,000
Okay.

438
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,000
Seconded by Councillor Morton.

439
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,000
Comments.

440
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Can we.

441
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Yes.

442
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,000
Let's go.

443
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,000
Let's go first.

444
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,000
So I can look up.

445
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,000
It's not in the package, but basically it is.

446
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Okay.

447
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,000
Okay.

448
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:48,000
It removes that would remove all of the eligibility criteria and leave it to the charter to dictate how that is considered.

449
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,000
Okay.

450
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,000
Thanks for that.

451
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,000
I closed it.

452
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:52,000
Yeah.

453
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,000
I opened it because I had comments.

454
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,000
But I'll go to those later.

455
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Okay.

456
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,000
Great.

457
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Call the question on the amendment.

458
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,000
Are there any opposed?

459
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:00,000
Motion carries.

460
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,000
Okay.

461
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
On the overall Councillor.

462
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:14,000
When we took this to the Governance and Ethics Committee, it was because when Gary Watson had died,

463
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:20,000
we wanted to lower the flags and we had no policy to do that.

464
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:27,000
So I'm disappointed that that part of it isn't in the policy.

465
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:32,000
So I don't know if we can make an amendment now to include it.

466
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,000
We discussed it.

467
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,000
We discussed it.

468
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,000
We debated it.

469
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,000
We talked about it at Governance and Ethics.

470
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:43,000
And then unfortunately I was sick and couldn't be at the committee the whole meeting two weeks ago.

471
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,000
But that was what I wrote down when I read the package weeks ago.

472
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,000
It was like, well, the whole point was to lower the flags.

473
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,000
And yet it's not there.

474
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:59,000
So can we, I'm not sure you're worship how you wish to execute this or whether any other member of council would wish to indulge the amendment.

475
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,000
No.

476
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,000
I think it's a very good reminder.

477
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:16,000
It might help to understand that there is an administrative procedure that governs flag lowering.

478
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:21,000
And the freedom of the municipality upon passing is part of that procedure.

479
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:30,000
So it is already included at the procedure level, which is the sort of operational level of making sure that these things happen.

480
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Thank you for correcting me, I guess, or making me understand.

481
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Okay.

482
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:40,000
So that was, and that was a change that was made in response last time.

483
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Correct.

484
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,000
Like when we were trying to figure out whether we had policy.

485
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,000
Correct.

486
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,000
So it was, you're right.

487
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:47,000
That's what prompted it.

488
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,000
It's just a failure of my memory.

489
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,000
Okay.

490
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:51,000
Great.

491
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:52,000
Thanks for that clarification.

492
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,000
Call the question.

493
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:54,000
Are there any opposed?

494
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,000
Motion carries.

495
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Okay.

496
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:02,000
On to international athlete recognition report.

497
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,000
Is there any questions about it?

498
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,000
Okay.

499
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,000
Moved as presented.

500
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,000
Moved by Councillor Jewett.

501
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,000
Seconded by Councillor Murrell.

502
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Councillor Jewett.

503
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Well, I'd just like to make a comment because one of the things we really wanted to do was to ensure that we honored the people that from our community that have been successful on different sports.

504
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,000
And tonight we actually have two Olympic medalists here.

505
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:33,000
So I just want to recognize them.

506
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:39,000
Actually, McIver and Shannon Smith as the two Olympic medalists.

507
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,000
So thank you.

508
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,000
And congratulations on your success.

509
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Yeah.

510
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:53,000
It's fitting to have them here when we're adopting this path to to celebrate the success of athletes in this community.

511
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,000
Ms. Leise, do I have a mover and a seconder?

512
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,000
I'll call the question.

513
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,000
Are there any opposed?

514
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,000
Motion carries.

515
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,000
Okay.

516
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:07,000
Our next item is zoning and parking amendment by law number two five zero three.

517
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,000
I'll declare a conflict of interest.

518
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,000
This is my daughter, Harriet.

519
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,000
It goes to the Western Waldorf School.

520
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,000
I'm also declare a conflict because my daughter goes to Waldorf.

521
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:32,000
So we have a presentation by the director of planning with the laid law and manager of development planning.

522
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,000
Tracy Napier.

523
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,000
You have a floor.

524
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,000
Yeah.

525
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,000
Excellent.

526
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:44,000
Thank you very much.

527
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:49,000
We don't have TV.

528
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,000
Yeah.

529
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:56,000
I mean, we can, I can't, they can't, but.

530
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Okay.

531
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,000
That's up to you.

532
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,000
I mean, what's faster?

533
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,000
I think he's coming down.

534
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,000
We might need a two minute recess here.

535
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,000
We have no TV or a flying blind.

536
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,000
So give us two minutes.

537
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,000
Did it like fall asleep or something?

538
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,000
Okay.

539
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,000
I just, I just, I just open now.

540
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,000
Okay.

541
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,000
It's still on.

542
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:37,000
Yes.

543
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,000
I'll whisper this for whisper.

544
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,000
You're too, too.

545
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:02,000
Okay.

546
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:35,000
All right.

547
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,000
We're back online.

548
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,000
You may proceed.

549
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:39,000
Thank you.

550
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:40,000
Thank you.

551
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:41,000
Good evening.

552
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Acting mayor and council.

553
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,000
I'm Tracy Napier, manager of development planning and tonight.

554
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:52,000
Present, co presenting with me is Melissa Leyla, director of planning.

555
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:57,000
So our purpose here tonight is to present zoning and parking amendment by law number

556
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,000
2503 for council's consideration for first second and third readings.

557
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:05,000
The purpose of the amendment by law is to reason a portion of lot 34 on

558
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:10,000
also lake road to include school and auxiliary day care as permitted uses to

559
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:15,000
get a possible future subdivision for school uses to include some development restrictions for

560
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,000
that use.

561
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:20,000
In addition, staff are seeking direction to make minor amendments to the existing development

562
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:25,000
covenant on not 34 to align with the school use and to register new development covenant that

563
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:34,000
will require certain obligations be met prior to issuance of a development permit or a building permit.

564
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:39,000
The proposed school site is a portion of the subject's lands.

565
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:42,000
This proposed school site is shown outlined in red here.

566
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:46,000
It's about approximately 0.75 hectares, 7,500 square meters.

567
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:53,000
The rest of this portion of lot 34 is shown in the purple dash.

568
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:58,000
And all of that 34 is actually hooked parcel that is four different hooked sections that

569
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,000
aren't relevant to this part.

570
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:05,000
This is the portion of lot 34 that's includes the portion that's being resowned.

571
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Directly to the north and south of the subject site, the proposed school site,

572
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,000
are portions of lot 34 that are not being resowned.

573
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:18,000
To the west is alto lake road and then the stone bridge subdivision and the BC hydro right

574
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,000
away up the hill.

575
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:26,000
And to the east is alto lake park, the CN rail tracks and then alto lake itself.

576
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:33,000
The farther to the north of the school site is and the north of lot 34 is all mill lane with six single

577
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,000
family homes.

578
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:40,000
For some context, the distance from the school site to the nearest of the homes on all mill lane is approximately

579
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:45,000
125 meters.

580
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,000
The site is accessed via alto lake road.

581
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:52,000
It's about three and a half kilometers from the intersection of highway 90 on to the south.

582
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:58,000
And it's about six kilometers from the intersection with highway 90 on to the north at L Pointway.

583
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:04,000
We can see in the ortho image that the site in the surrounding lands are largely forested.

584
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:16,000
And here we can also see alto lake park in the kind of gray pink color and the existing valley trail is shown in the mustard yellow line.

585
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:25,000
So the lands are currently zoned RSE2 which allows the detached dwelling and auxiliary dwelling specified other auxiliary buildings and parks and playgrounds.

586
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:31,000
Amendment by loan number 2503 has been prepared to amend the existing zone to allow a school and take care.

587
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:38,000
Specifically, the RSE2's own amendments would be to update the definition of school to refer to current provincial legislation.

588
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:43,000
To add a key plan to the RSE2's own to delineate the school site.

589
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,000
To add school and auxiliary daycare is permitted uses in the school site.

590
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:54,000
To clarify that if the school site is developed as a school then it cannot also be used for other uses allowed in the RSE2's own.

591
00:59:54,000 --> 01:00:00,000
To allow the school site to be subdivided from the rest of lot 34 to establish building.

592
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:15,000
Building setbacks into a loud parking for the school used to be located either on the school or on adjacent lands.

593
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:24,200
So this slide provides a high level summary of the staff analysis provided in the council report. The lands were identified by both Waldorf and the landowner as well

594
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:33,200
all suited to the needs of a school site. Provincial legislation does allow a municipality to initiate zoning or rezoning of lands.

595
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:45,200
And council has directed staff to prepare this rezoning. The development regulations in the amendment by law are in alignment with other zones that allow school use.

596
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:57,200
So no maximum density, no maximum safe coverage, no building height, although some schools zones either allow no building height or a maximum height of 10 to 14.

597
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:01,200
We went with no building height here for flexibility.

598
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:13,200
And however this zone does regulate building setbacks. We felt that was important in this case for the community.

599
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:34,200
The 7.6 meter setback from all future school parcel boundaries matches the typical front and rear setbacks of our typical residential zones that are in that area and are greater than typical side setbacks for residential zone.

600
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:40,200
And the amendment by law was evaluated relative to the established rezoning evaluation criteria.

601
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:50,200
The amendment by law is supported by applicable policies of the official community plan of note the subject lands are within the Whistler urban development containment area or woodcut.

602
01:01:50,200 --> 01:02:00,200
And these are lands in which all urban land uses, including institutional uses should be contained.

603
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:14,200
The land use map aid does not need to be modified and of note this ensures that array of learning opportunities is available to residents, which is a policy within the OCP.

604
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:30,200
In terms of traffic and parking staff obtained address stage one traffic assessment memo from a traffic engineering consultant, which provided a high level review of the transportation considerations associated with the amendment by law.

605
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:38,200
The memo made some safe planning recommendations as well as recommended a traffic impact study and traffic management plan.

606
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:45,200
No maximum hydrograph law I've already touched upon this to allow flexibility.

607
01:02:45,200 --> 01:03:04,200
And as well we're requiring that a green building checklist be provided and this would be consistent with the council green building policy.

608
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:12,200
Sorry, it's a new clicker.

609
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:15,200
Not intuitive.

610
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:20,200
So staff recommends several conditions of adoption of the amendment by law.

611
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:27,200
These recommended conditions of adoption are result of the analysis work performed in the preparation of the amendment by law.

612
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:32,200
It is common practice to have conditions of adoption of a zoning amendment by law.

613
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:36,200
So staff recommend firstly that prior to adoption of the proposed amendment by law.

614
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:43,200
The following batteries be resolved to set size faction of the general manager of climate action planning and development services.

615
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:58,200
So first to amend an existing covenant BT408864 on lock 44 to permit construction of a school including auxiliary day care and auxiliary buildings without the development limitations imposed in that covenant.

616
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,200
And all of this is described in the council report.

617
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:15,200
Secondly is registration of a new development covenant to require traffic impact study and traffic management plan prior to further permits and this is further recommendations of the stage one traffic assessment memo.

618
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:23,200
Require green building checklist prior to further permits and accordance with the council green building policy.

619
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:38,200
Require registration of an easement or covenant over the part of the adjacent lot 34 that future school day care parking may be located if it's not located on the school parcel.

620
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:44,200
And this is consistent with requirements for other zones that have parking off site.

621
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:51,200
And limit school enrollment to 275 students and auxiliary day care to 25 license spaces.

622
01:04:51,200 --> 01:05:01,200
And this is just generally to mitigate potential impacts of a school and day care in this location.

623
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:13,200
A public hearing for the amendment by law is not required as per the local government act, which specifies that local government is not required to hold a public hearing on a proposed zoning amendment by law.

624
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:19,200
If an OCP is in effect for the area and the proposed by law is consistent with the OCP.

625
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:28,200
So in this basis, the communication respecting the amendment by law included the rezoning notification sign posted on site.

626
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:34,200
And notice of no public hearing mailed and advertised in two issues of the peak newspaper.

627
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:42,200
Both the signage and the notification were undertaken in accordance with provincial legislation and municipal by law requirements.

628
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:51,200
So council has received correspondence from the public regarding the proposed zoning amendment.

629
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:57,200
Raiders know concerns with respect to municipal authority, notification timing and process.

630
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:08,200
Lack of information, perceived transparency of the process that those affected have not had an opportunity to be heard and have requested that public hearing be held.

631
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:21,200
Staff notes that the local government act specifies when a public hearing is not required, but it also does not prohibit a local government from holding a public hearing in this case.

632
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:34,200
So staff provided an alternative optional recommendation for council in the council report if council wishes to direct staff to hold a public hearing in this case.

633
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:43,200
So the optional recommendation is the same as the recommendation written in the council report with the exception of the yellow highlighted taxed.

634
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:58,200
That instead of council considering first three readings of the amendment by law that council consider giving first and second readings and direct staff to hold a public hearing.

635
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:15,200
This slide outlines the next steps of the process and illustrates the difference in next steps between a council motion for the recommendation written in the council report versus the optional recommendation provided in the council report and just presented.

636
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:23,200
The optional recommendation to hold a public hearing with delay consideration of third reading of the amendment by law by approximately five weeks.

637
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:41,200
However, in the meantime, the landowners and Waldorf could be working on the recommended conditions of adoption and preparing their development permit and building permit submissions for review processes can run concurrently.

638
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:52,200
So with that, this slide presents a recommendation as written in the council report that council consider giving three readings of the amendment by law.

639
01:07:53,200 --> 01:08:02,200
So I won't read out the whole recommendation on the slide and then the report. So this concludes our presentation and staff welcome any staff welcome any questions.

640
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:08,200
Thank you very much. If I have questions count third or fourth I next presentation.

641
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:17,200
If we exercise option to give first you readings and have a public hearing what's the soonest that we could have a public hearing.

642
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:28,200
The soonest the public hearings are not allowed to occur on the same date of a council meeting, but we typically hold them on a Tuesday.

643
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:46,200
So with that, the soonest date would be believe February Tuesday February 10th and that would enable us to do the required notification meet the requirements for notification and mail out.

644
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:49,200
Thank you.

645
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:55,200
Councillor Ford.

646
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:56,200
Thank you.

647
01:08:56,200 --> 01:09:04,200
One of your recommendations is to limit the school population to 275 students in 25 day care spaces.

648
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:10,200
I understand that that's just a size constraint to limit the possibility.

649
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:17,200
I don't understand why we would parse it. Why not just say 300.

650
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:23,200
And what if what if they had room and the ability to provide 100 day care spaces?

651
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:34,200
Like, and I know that that's wishful thinking, but in I just don't understand why we would split that and articulate it that way.

652
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:42,200
Given that if their school enrollment were to drop, but what if they were able to offer more than 25 day care spaces?

653
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:48,200
That's could we just be a little bit more vague there?

654
01:09:48,200 --> 01:10:00,200
So a multiple support of these limitations and these would be limits imposed by covenant.

655
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:17,200
And so if in future, down the road, if this all proceeds and in future, down the road, there's greater need for greater numbers than we could consider a covenant amendment.

656
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,200
Out of future time.

657
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,200
I'm not suggesting that we need a larger school population.

658
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:33,200
I'm just saying that the delineation between infants or toddlers and like why not say only 75 high school students.

659
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:40,200
It just seems a bit restrictive in a space that doesn't.

660
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,200
I don't see the value too.

661
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:46,200
I can never put a cap on a day care.

662
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:51,200
So if they had 300 day care spaces, I'd be over the moon.

663
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:55,200
But obviously that would limit the number of children that they could have in the school.

664
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:57,200
And that's, again, wishful thinking.

665
01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:02,200
So anyways, just want to put that out there is a question.

666
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:04,200
Councillor Gill.

667
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:09,200
Thank you, acting mayor and thank you for the presentation.

668
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:12,200
Could you go back to the map?

669
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:18,200
And while you're doing that to Councillor Ford's question, I assume that 275.

670
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:24,200
There was a need's projection with our growing populations over the next 20 years or so.

671
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,200
And so that there was a calibration there of need.

672
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:34,200
I assume that wasn't just a number pulled out on a scale for building.

673
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:41,200
No, it was based on discussion with Waldorf about anticipated enrollment and seeking to understand that.

674
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:42,200
Great.

675
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:43,200
We didn't need to be infinite.

676
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:46,200
So that was the number arrived out with their support.

677
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:47,200
Okay.

678
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:50,200
Just referring to how to the image.

679
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:54,200
And I'm trying to correlate with old mill road.

680
01:11:54,200 --> 01:12:01,200
It appears there'll be quite a buffer of force between the development footprint.

681
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:05,200
And the houses in old mill road.

682
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:08,200
What distances do those roughly represent?

683
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:09,200
Yeah, I apologize.

684
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:10,200
It's unfortunate.

685
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:11,200
I can point out on the screen.

686
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:13,200
But you won't see it on your screen here.

687
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,200
But if you turn around.

688
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:19,200
So the proximity distance from this to this line.

689
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:27,200
So the rear of this parcel on old mill lane to the edge of the school site is about 125 meters.

690
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:32,200
And there's an elevation drop as well.

691
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:37,200
I'm just pointing that out because the way sound works.

692
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,200
That's advantage if you live down there.

693
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:43,200
I didn't put the contour lines on, but this is I would call this underlating terrain.

694
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:49,200
There's a little bit of a kind of path way if you will not a path.

695
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:52,200
But like a level area here.

696
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:53,200
And then exactly.

697
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:54,200
So it drops a little bit.

698
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:55,200
It goes up a little bit.

699
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,200
And it's not, it's not simple terrain.

700
01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:59,200
I'd call it complex terrain.

701
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:00,200
Okay.

702
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:07,200
And again, we are committed to keeping the greatest tree buffer possible.

703
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:11,200
Between the the Microsoft Division and the school.

704
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:15,200
Yeah, the no activities are contemplated at this point on this portion.

705
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:19,200
On the portion between the old mill lane and the school site delineated in red.

706
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,200
In that upper portion with the purple dash.

707
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,200
That's there's nothing changing on that portion of the lands.

708
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:25,200
Okay.

709
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:29,200
And it looks like there's a, although there's some.

710
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:31,200
To biography perhaps.

711
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,200
Challenges or some climb up.

712
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:34,200
But.

713
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,200
The, the proposed schools very close to the valley trail.

714
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:38,200
It looks like.

715
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:40,200
Perhaps with a switchback or two.

716
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:43,200
It could be connected to the valley trail.

717
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:44,200
Yeah, I think that is possible.

718
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,200
There's an existing statutory right of way over a lot.

719
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:50,200
34 that's obviously undeveloped at this time.

720
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:52,200
For public access.

721
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:57,200
And so yes, I think it could could be contemplated in the future that there may be.

722
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,200
Ability to have a valley trail connection here.

723
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:01,200
Okay. Thank you for that.

724
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:05,200
And there are questions regarding the environmental impacts.

725
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:07,200
And and some further studies.

726
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:11,200
Do we have any data on the existing school in terms of an animal aspect?

727
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:16,200
We have that but understanding the existing footprint in terms of.

728
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,200
Greenhouse gas emissions energy builds and also.

729
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:21,200
Transportation.

730
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,200
Do we know roughly.

731
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,200
With the current location.

732
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:29,200
How many people drive versus bike versus walk versus bus, etc.

733
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,200
To try get a better sense of.

734
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:34,200
The transportation impacts.

735
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:37,200
So I'll start with the building.

736
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:39,200
So.

737
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,200
We don't have the numbers on the buildings.

738
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:48,200
But any new building would have to meet our green building policy.

739
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:49,200
Checklist.

740
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:54,200
Which looks at a lot of a lot of broadly at at at buildings.

741
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:56,200
And then would have to meet.

742
01:14:56,200 --> 01:15:00,200
The newer standards of the building code.

743
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:10,000
So suffice it to say that a newer buildings would be higher energy, better energy performance.

744
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,000
That's a really nice experience at Waldorf.

745
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,000
We can only improve on it.

746
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:19,000
In terms of JST impacts, that's it for now.

747
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,000
Thank you. Appreciate it.

748
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,000
Councillor Jewett.

749
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:24,000
Thanks very much.

750
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,000
Could you show us the park land again?

751
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,000
It's the green on this slide.

752
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,000
It lit up white. Oh, that one.

753
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:42,000
Okay, so where the valley trail goes and all the way down to the lake is park land.

754
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:47,000
And there's park land coming right up adjacent to Lot 34.

755
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:48,000
Correct.

756
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:54,000
Yeah, exactly. It runs on a little strip between Lot 34 and the CN rail right away.

757
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,000
Right.

758
01:15:55,000 --> 01:16:01,000
There was also discussion in one of the letters about a right of way through Old Mill Road.

759
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:06,000
Is it one of those park areas or is it the valley trail that was the right of way?

760
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:12,000
I'm not aware of a right of way through Old Mill Lane, but there is a right of way,

761
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,000
statutory right of way in this portion of Lot 34.

762
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:16,000
Okay.

763
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:19,000
That it waits for public access.

764
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,000
And then meanwhile, all of that.

765
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,000
Public park.

766
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:24,000
It's correct.

767
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:25,000
It's municipal land.

768
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,000
It's municipal land, but it's not park land.

769
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:29,000
I believe it's all the lake park.

770
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,000
Okay.

771
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:35,000
One of the in the letter I'm I'm discussing.

772
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,000
The writer was.

773
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,000
Did not receive a letter.

774
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:43,000
How many letters were sent out to inform?

775
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,000
There's a isn't the.

776
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:51,000
The regulation that they have to be within a hundred meters to get a letter.

777
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:52,000
Correct.

778
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,000
I don't was them within a hundred meters.

779
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,000
I don't.

780
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,000
It's a hundred meter buffer from all of Lot 34.

781
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:00,000
So we can go back to this slide again.

782
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:01,000
So that purple.

783
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:04,000
As well as the three other portions of Lot 34 that are hooked to it.

784
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:08,000
So it's one legal entity is four different distinct sections.

785
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:11,000
All four of those had a hundred meter buffer taken on them.

786
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,000
And that was the where the mail out went.

787
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:17,000
And in this in the case of Old Mill Lane.

788
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,000
Interestingly.

789
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:20,000
Oops.

790
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:21,000
Sorry.

791
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:22,000
Oh.

792
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,000
Oh.

793
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:24,000
Here we go.

794
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:25,000
Okay.

795
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:26,000
Apologies.

796
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:27,000
It's trying to get the point.

797
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:28,000
Here we go.

798
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:30,000
The distance from the edge of Lot 34.

799
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,000
When you put a hundred meter buffer on it.

800
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:35,000
It comes to almost that Lot but not quite or almost that Lot.

801
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,000
I forget it was it was close.

802
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:50,000
The intentionally included them in the mail out recognizing that that that they should be that this was an old note that this this was relevant to those people living in that proximity to this proposal.

803
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:55,000
And so I my recollection is somewhere in the vicinity of ninety to a hundred letters.

804
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,000
I think was the total mail out.

805
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:58,000
Oh wow.

806
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:06,000
So that's a lot more than I thought because there was someone that wrote a letter that was asking that lives in twin lakes why they didn't receive a letter.

807
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:07,000
Right.

808
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:12,000
And I can't I can't speak to that particular address, but I can say that we took a hundred meter buffer off Lot 34.

809
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:13,000
Okay.

810
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:21,000
So the regulation was followed and everyone that was and and more that was within a hundred meters received a letter.

811
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:22,000
We we mail it.

812
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,000
We we sent the letter.

813
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:26,000
Did you mail it or did you deliver.

814
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:27,000
No, we mailed it.

815
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:28,000
Okay.

816
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:32,000
Our our requirement is to mail it.

817
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:33,000
Okay.

818
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:38,000
I just want to because we had a lot of people asking about that.

819
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:47,000
And I just want to clarify what the regulation is and and the efforts that you took to follow that.

820
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:57,000
As the QR code been updated on the on the sign because it was not working before.

821
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:02,000
So the QR code on the sign is different from the QR code on the notice.

822
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:05,000
The sign is a general sign.

823
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:14,000
It's the same QR code that we that we use on any type of of development sign that is that is meant to be posted.

824
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:28,000
And it simply brings the user to a location on the website that has all of our sort of open applications that we're considering.

825
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:32,000
We call we call it an application.

826
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:38,000
It's a municipal lead initiative rezoning but the fact that we give give it an RZ number.

827
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:41,000
So we have a place to file it.

828
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:47,000
So it brings users to there and they can sort by putting in that application number.

829
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:53,000
So it's a it's we don't change the QR code with every sign that goes up.

830
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,000
It's a standard QR code.

831
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:57,000
I went out personally.

832
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:01,000
I tested it on multiple devices and it worked.

833
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:12,000
Okay. So in other words, all the procedures that are always done for any rezoning were followed for this one and it was no different.

834
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,000
For for notification and sign adjust.

835
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:17,000
Okay.

836
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:21,000
I just know that people wrote passionate letters about this.

837
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:27,000
I really want to ensure that we do discuss that.

838
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:32,000
The enrollment limits of 275 or 100 over what they have now.

839
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:38,000
Is that what the school requested.

840
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:46,000
Yeah, we spoke specifically to Waldorf about their business plan and their model for the next 10 15 20 years and what they would.

841
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:50,000
It would be come to their small local independent school.

842
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:54,000
That doesn't intend to compete with with their secondary public schools.

843
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:58,000
That is the capacity they provided as their maximum growth model.

844
01:20:58,000 --> 01:20:59,000
Okay. Thank you.

845
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:02,000
And in the site plan.

846
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:05,000
I don't know if there's anything more.

847
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:11,000
Let's see with more detail than than the then what we've got here.

848
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,000
Where do they show the parking?

849
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,000
It's obviously towards all to Lake Road.

850
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,000
Does it go into Old Mill Lane?

851
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:19,000
No.

852
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,000
Not at all.

853
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:21,000
No.

854
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:22,000
It'll come up.

855
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,000
Oh, chair.

856
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,000
Oh, rats.

857
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Okay.

858
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:27,000
Stand by.

859
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:28,000
Here we go.

860
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:32,000
It will come directly off all to Lake Road somewhere in this vicinity.

861
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:33,000
Okay.

862
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,000
So not near the entrance.

863
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:37,000
No.

864
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:40,000
Okay.

865
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:44,000
And so that's the pickup and drop off and the parking.

866
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:48,000
That's to be established at a later date and commented.

867
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:50,000
If it's not in the red part.

868
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:51,000
Yeah.

869
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:56,000
The recommendation asked for a traffic management plan, which would we expect would include exactly that.

870
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:01,000
So details about how the pickup and drop off is to be managed on site.

871
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:06,000
How the access will flow how that area will flow to ensure that it's safe and appropriate.

872
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:11,000
If you drop off for both a care that is parking for all of the users of the site.

873
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:15,000
And that it doesn't inadvertently lead to congestion on Old Hill Road.

874
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:16,000
Okay.

875
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:30,000
And the green building checklist is that something that the municipality produces or there's a standard that they have to adhere to with the checklist.

876
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:35,000
There are items that they need to address the policy outlines it.

877
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:41,000
Energy reducing water reducing waste those types of things.

878
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:50,000
So that's something that the proponent would be providing and it's to to our satisfaction.

879
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:53,000
Right now there isn't.

880
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,000
They don't have proposed.

881
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:04,000
Usually need architectural plans and drawings that are like process like, you know, quite well designed like.

882
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:08,000
Well in their way of processing to be able to provide such a checklist.

883
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:09,000
Okay.

884
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,000
That's why that's the condition.

885
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:13,000
And just going back to the letters.

886
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:16,000
Is this a rezoning or a subdivision or both?

887
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,000
Because I mean, I don't know what's the difference.

888
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:20,000
It's 100% of rezoning at this stage.

889
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:24,000
It's simply adding the uses that we described in the report.

890
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:26,000
It's not a subdivision.

891
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:27,000
Okay.

892
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:35,000
And then I guess the only other thing is.

893
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:40,000
No, I don't think I, oh, traffic impact study and traffic management plan.

894
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:44,000
Who would produce those with that be a consultant that would be harder to do that?

895
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:50,000
The traffic impact study would be done by a consultant.

896
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:51,000
Yeah.

897
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:52,000
Okay.

898
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:54,000
That would, would secure that.

899
01:23:54,000 --> 01:24:00,000
And so the, something that the, the municipality would have to approve of the,

900
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:04,000
The way that it was conducted and that sort of thing.

901
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:05,000
Correct.

902
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:06,000
Correct.

903
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:11,000
So the proponent would go out to retain a consultant to do that work.

904
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:16,000
And then that would need to be said to submit it to us to our satisfaction.

905
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:17,000
Okay.

906
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:18,000
That's all I've got.

907
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:19,000
Thank you.

908
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:21,000
Councillor Forsyth.

909
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:22,000
Thanks.

910
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:26,000
When Councillor Jew was asked in this question that sparked a couple of in my mind.

911
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:32,000
In the report it, we referenced the land use and procedures and fees by law.

912
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:36,000
Twenty twenty five, two two, oh five of twenty twenty two.

913
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:46,000
And so was that in response to changes in the local government act regarding public hearings?

914
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,000
No.

915
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:49,000
No.

916
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:58,000
So the local government act has historically enabled a public hearing to be waived if,

917
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:02,000
if it's consistent with the OCP.

918
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:12,000
The more recent changes in the local government act enacted times when public hearings have to

919
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:16,000
be prohibited and those are around housing.

920
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:20,000
That's the smooth single multi use housing.

921
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:21,000
Any housing?

922
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:22,000
Okay.

923
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:23,000
Thanks for clarifying that.

924
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:28,000
I knew that there were, I'd been changes, but they are in regards to the new legislation for the problems.

925
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:30,000
Regarding multi use housing.

926
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:31,000
Thank you.

927
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:32,000
Okay.

928
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:33,000
I'm going to count third to John.

929
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,000
I think I just have two lingering questions.

930
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:39,000
One is just clarification with the traffic studies.

931
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:41,000
What has been done to date?

932
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:42,000
I thought at one point.

933
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:47,000
I wish I could remember when was considered a bypass road.

934
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:55,000
It's been a sense done in the past.

935
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:56,000
Okay.

936
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:57,000
Yeah.

937
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:03,000
I'm not aware of anything respecting bypass roads.

938
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,000
That may be before my time here.

939
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:07,000
But yeah.

940
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:14,000
What we did was we retained a traffic engineering consultant to provide a stage one assessment

941
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:17,000
memo to us for this project.

942
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:18,000
Okay.

943
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:21,000
And my next question probably tell I'm not a parent.

944
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:23,000
Most sustainable thing ever does not reproduce this.

945
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:25,000
But anyways.

946
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:31,000
The number of operating days because I'm very focused on impacts.

947
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:36,000
Roughly 50% of the 365 day calendar school is school.

948
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:37,000
I'm very curious.

949
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,000
I'm really trying to understand again.

950
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,000
The overall impact.

951
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:48,000
Well, school generally starts early September and goes to mid June with some breaks.

952
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:49,000
Yeah.

953
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:50,000
It hasn't changed much.

954
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:51,000
It's going to be time.

955
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:52,000
Okay.

956
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:57,000
Thank you.

957
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:58,000
189 days.

958
01:26:58,000 --> 01:26:59,000
Thank you.

959
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:00,000
Thank you.

960
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:02,000
Thank you.

961
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Yes.

962
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:04,000
Thank you.

963
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:05,000
Thank you.

964
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,000
Thank you.

965
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:08,000
Thank you.

966
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:09,000
Thank you.

967
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,000
I appreciate it.

968
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:13,000
Kindness.

969
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,000
Are you okay.

970
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,000
I just going over the report.

971
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:21,000
One of the recommendations is a registration of a development covenant on low 40.

972
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,000
34 and favor of the RMOW.

973
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:28,000
That covenant is only for the impact study.

974
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:33,000
That prior to adoption registration of the development covenant on a lot, 34 in favor of the

975
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:42,000
RMOW to require the traffic impact study, traffic management plan, the parking and the enrollment limit.

976
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:46,000
Will that covenant remain on the lot?

977
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:51,000
Or does the title transfer to the school?

978
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:57,000
Or does it just remain in the RMOW's name?

979
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:04,000
So, right now, this covenant would have to, a lot 44 is one parcel.

980
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:13,000
So, this covenant would be registered on a lot 44, and a lot 34.

981
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:26,000
Yes, and then these are all, like the zoning, if adopted, does enable a portion of a lot 34 to be subdivided for a school parcel.

982
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:36,000
And it's at that, you know, at that future time when a subdivision application has been contemplated that all of the, you know, legal agreements are looked at.

983
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:44,000
And if there's something that's, you know, only meant for a part of the parcel, it may just apply to that future part.

984
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:49,000
But right now, it gets registered, it's one parcel, so it gets registered on the entire parcel.

985
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:56,000
Right, and they had some requirements, like employee housing if they used the land.

986
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:59,000
Or it wasn't there or something like Serium trying to know?

987
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:03,000
So, that speaks to item A in the recommendation.

988
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:18,000
So, there is an existing development covenant on a lot 34 that has some development limitations of some things that were meant to happen before, before development of the land.

989
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:26,000
So, that item A addresses that the development limitations in the existing covenant.

990
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:30,000
Right, that's page five, talking about the existing covenant.

991
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:31,000
Correct, correct.

992
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,000
Thank you.

993
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:36,000
Okay, my turn.

994
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,000
My colleagues took many of the questions.

995
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:43,000
It's often, if you could bring the Mac back up.

996
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:48,000
I get to take these journeys down GIS, and so I'm curious that the north end of that.

997
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:53,000
There's a parcel that is like a slice of cheese, and it's half-park, half-not.

998
01:29:53,000 --> 01:30:00,000
And I'm just curious on GIS the same way, is that just an anomaly of GIS, or is there.

999
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:06,000
There really a parcel that is half-park, but not. It seems weird.

1000
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:07,000
A slice of cheese.

1001
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:09,000
So that's very, like, you don't have that.

1002
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:12,000
Look at a GI officer, right?

1003
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:17,000
But it's very tough. It's maybe out of the scope, but it's interesting.

1004
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:21,000
The parkland surrounds their entire thing, but there's a parcel.

1005
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:27,000
Because you mentioned there was, you took particular interest in making sure that upper parcel

1006
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,000
will also have a letter, even though they're outside the scope.

1007
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:32,000
But they seem to be able to question for later.

1008
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:35,000
Right. Okay. So, sort of, do you mean this piece?

1009
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:37,000
Yeah, if you go on the top there, it's half that's kind of that.

1010
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:42,000
It's park and below that is the same parcel.

1011
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:46,000
Yeah. Anyways. I think I think you're this.

1012
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:48,000
I'm GIS nerding here, so.

1013
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:52,000
Okay.

1014
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:53,000
Oh, I see.

1015
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:54,000
It's the parcel.

1016
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:55,000
It's the parcel.

1017
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:58,000
That's a good question.

1018
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:02,000
That may be that it's split.

1019
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:08,000
It could be a GIS glitch that shows that little bit of park.

1020
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:10,000
I can't, yeah, that's a good question.

1021
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:12,000
I guess it speaks to other questions.

1022
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:17,000
You can have a lot of 34 is when you look on GIS weird.

1023
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:18,000
It has many pieces.

1024
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:24,000
So you can have a park component and a non park component in the same parcel.

1025
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:25,000
Yeah, absolutely.

1026
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,000
Yeah, this is rezoning establishes this use in this location.

1027
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:31,000
Does it establish new parcel boundaries?

1028
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:32,000
Yeah.

1029
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:35,000
It simply adds this zoning to be permitted in this part of that lot.

1030
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:36,000
Yeah.

1031
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:38,000
So, yes, split zone parcels are permitted.

1032
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:39,000
Okay.

1033
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:42,000
And what is the statutory right of way for?

1034
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:44,000
I don't want 34.

1035
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:47,000
The existing one is for public access.

1036
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:48,000
Okay.

1037
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:55,000
And it just goes from it's here and then it's actually along the bottom of a lot of 34 there.

1038
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:58,000
So that was restrict what goes on that parcel.

1039
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:01,000
Under that existing statutory right of way.

1040
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:03,000
It doesn't restrict other things on that parcel.

1041
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:09,000
It just establishes that that can be used for the purposes written in the statutory right of way, which for public access.

1042
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,000
So it was somewhere in the past.

1043
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:13,000
It was contemplated for something.

1044
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:14,000
Yes.

1045
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:15,000
Exactly.

1046
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:16,000
I'm not developed.

1047
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:22,000
And the right of way doesn't obligate it to be developed.

1048
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:26,000
And then, you know, this is a process to grant a zoning amendment.

1049
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:33,000
Could council then choose to ungrant a zoning amendment if that were decided that, you know, things didn't work out.

1050
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:38,000
There was some mention here that the risk of that this would last in perpetuity.

1051
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:39,000
Council could just grant.

1052
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:40,000
Great.

1053
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:41,000
Unzoning.

1054
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:42,000
I don't know.

1055
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:43,000
We could be rezoned again.

1056
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:44,000
Yes.

1057
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:47,000
I don't think that's the right word.

1058
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:54,000
And then for the traffic study, you mentioned that stage one traffic impact assessment like a memo.

1059
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:57,000
What are the county stages are there of traffic studies?

1060
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:58,000
I don't know.

1061
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:00,000
The consultant referred to it that way.

1062
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:09,000
When we when we said we want a very high level review not based on a specific proposal based on a very high level understanding of what may be here.

1063
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:12,000
And they said, oh right, we called that a stage one.

1064
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:13,000
Okay.

1065
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:17,000
So we might see stage two or three in the next as part of this comment modification.

1066
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:24,000
Presumably the next would be a traffic impact study as they recommended in the memo.

1067
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:26,000
Stage unknown.

1068
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:29,000
Okay.

1069
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:32,000
I think that was all my questions.

1070
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:36,000
So at this point, thank you for the presentation.

1071
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:42,000
Don't have a mover for either the as proposed in the.

1072
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,000
Yes.

1073
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:51,000
We have what was in the package or we have an optional amendment.

1074
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:53,000
Optional recommendation.

1075
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Did you want to move it to move around which one?

1076
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:04,000
I would like to move the optional recommendation with.

1077
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:05,000
Thank you.

1078
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:06,000
That one.

1079
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:13,000
So first and second reading and that council direct staff to hold a public hearing for the amendment by law.

1080
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:14,000
My only.

1081
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:16,000
If I could.

1082
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:23,000
And I know that this is just parsing words and I know that you've already explained to me that this is what Waldorf wanted.

1083
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:27,000
I just don't like capping a daycare space.

1084
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:36,000
I would say 300 heart beats rather than delineating between students and child care spaces.

1085
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:39,000
So I'm not expanding the space at all.

1086
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:43,000
But I just I can't feel good about seeing.

1087
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:44,000
Anyway.

1088
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:45,000
Before that's moved.

1089
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:48,000
Could I just ask how we arrived at that number.

1090
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:50,000
I understand that there was discussions with the Waldorf.

1091
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:52,000
But how did we arrive at.

1092
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:54,000
Two seventy five and twenty five.

1093
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:56,000
They.

1094
01:34:56,000 --> 01:34:57,000
They.

1095
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:01,000
We spoke to them and said we you know we want to make sure that that we limit the size of school.

1096
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:02,000
We don't have architecture at this point.

1097
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:05,000
How can we ensure that it stays a small independent school.

1098
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:11,000
They noted that their business model never had them exceeding a number of 275 students or 25 child care spaces.

1099
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:17,000
So we felt that would was a reasonable size when you compare it to other schools that does ensure that it would be a small local school.

1100
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,000
Well within the bounds of their growth.

1101
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:20,000
Correct.

1102
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:30,000
We can amend the we can amend this if the time comes that they they're bulging at the seams with take care spaces.

1103
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:32,000
Think come to us for an amendment.

1104
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:33,000
Correct.

1105
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:34,000
Correct.

1106
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:35,000
Okay.

1107
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:36,000
This is not a healing in a diet.

1108
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:41,000
So I will move the optional recommendation as it's written on the screen.

1109
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:43,000
My point is made.

1110
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:44,000
Thank you.

1111
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:46,000
And do I have a seconder.

1112
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:49,000
Can I say for safe comments.

1113
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:51,000
Can I answer to it?

1114
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:52,000
Sorry.

1115
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,000
I got a bit rough to this.

1116
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:58,000
I think it's important to know that Spruce Grove is not an option.

1117
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:05,000
That the province has said that the school must leave in June this year.

1118
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:08,000
Is that that's I shouldn't ask that's a comment.

1119
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:12,000
So this is why we're here today.

1120
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:20,000
So hopefully there is a school ready to go somewhere.

1121
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,000
And this is their best chance at it.

1122
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:24,000
Thank you.

1123
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:25,000
Council.

1124
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:26,000
Yeah.

1125
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:27,000
Thanks.

1126
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,000
Thanks for everyone for coming to.

1127
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:32,000
I know often what happens here is can be.

1128
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:35,000
Be confusing and mystifying people sometimes mystifies us.

1129
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:42,000
But to explain how we've arrived at this council asked for this to be initiated.

1130
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:47,000
Because we understand the time pressures that this school is facing to get there for ever home.

1131
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:52,000
And it was a sincere desire on behalf of council that well-dorf have there for ever home.

1132
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:58,000
After exhaustive research 50 different sites, this is the one that's been decided for the community.

1133
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:04,000
We're here tonight to decide whether the process of the rezoning continues.

1134
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:07,000
Which I'll be supporting.

1135
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:19,000
But doing it like this we felt I felt was the cleanest most expedited way to make that happen.

1136
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:24,000
To be clear on process and how things happen.

1137
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:29,000
We don't we don't get to make decisions on how process is made and laid out.

1138
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:32,000
That is laid out in the local government act.

1139
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:38,000
And we are required to follow a certain process where we have discretion is in the public hearing.

1140
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:44,000
And so it used to be my understanding from housing was a public hearing was required.

1141
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:46,000
Now it's prohibited.

1142
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:50,000
In this case the public hearing is still at the discretion of council.

1143
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:58,000
So in this case I still feel like having the option and exercising the option of having the public hearing is still the

1144
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:09,000
cleanest most user-friendly expedited way to get Waldorf to its friend home.

1145
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:12,000
Councillor Ford?

1146
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:14,000
Thank you.

1147
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:20,000
I hate repeating things that have already been said, but this is certainly the cleanest way through.

1148
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:27,000
I do want to hear from the community I have heard from the community on this topic broadly.

1149
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:32,000
A lot I think we all have over the last 12 years for me.

1150
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:38,000
And so there's no mystery here that we're interested in what the community has to say.

1151
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:51,000
I do appreciate the exhaust of process that this has taken on the board on our staff on community members that have been participating in this since 25 years ago.

1152
01:38:51,000 --> 01:39:02,000
So I'm excited to hear from the public and I think that this is a clean way through getting them into their new home.

1153
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:03,000
Thanks.

1154
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:06,000
Councillor Jones?

1155
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:09,000
I respect my colleagues.

1156
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:11,000
You point on this.

1157
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:15,000
I am comfortable at a third reading for the following reason.

1158
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:19,000
Waldorf has an existential threat.

1159
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:34,000
There is no place to lay us like an Apollo mission in terms of timing, but there's no place to land this other than not 34 due to the generosity of the owners of that property.

1160
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:38,000
A lot of my questions have been answered tonight in terms of impact.

1161
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:46,000
And I think that we are fully committed to minimize impacts to the people who live locally within that neighborhood.

1162
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:49,000
There's no other place for Waldorf.

1163
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:52,000
It's our only option.

1164
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:54,000
Thank you.

1165
01:39:54,000 --> 01:40:01,000
Councillor Forrest, I neglected to mention that the submissions from the residents adjacent to the property.

1166
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:02,000
We read them all.

1167
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:03,000
We consider them all.

1168
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:07,000
We understand many are very thoughtful and considered.

1169
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:10,000
And we consider those when we make our decision.

1170
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:14,000
And the submissions made during the public hearing before we make any decisions.

1171
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:18,000
So that that's clear.

1172
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:20,000
Thanks.

1173
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:24,000
I acknowledge the difference and experience between the affected parties.

1174
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:30,000
I think you have, on one hand, you have the board and students and teachers and everyone with Waldorf who have been doing this for 25 years.

1175
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:32,000
I've been looking for a site.

1176
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:36,000
And feel like they've gone through every avenue and tried everything.

1177
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:43,000
And then, on the other hand, you have the owners of properties and all to Lake Road who have heard about this.

1178
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:46,000
A month ago.

1179
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:47,000
Okay.

1180
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:52,000
And so feel that this is all new to them.

1181
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:57,000
I do reference one of the things where the Board said, you know, it's a full circle moment.

1182
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:59,000
This is where it was created.

1183
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,000
And it seems to be coming back to you.

1184
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:06,000
So it's an interesting full circle moment of how that works.

1185
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:11,000
You know, I do acknowledge that we often talk about hearing from younger members of the community.

1186
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:15,000
And this is probably the most young people we've had in this room in a long time.

1187
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:19,000
And so I appreciate them coming out and speaking.

1188
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:21,000
And I think that's important.

1189
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:24,000
I'm acknowledging this as a good option.

1190
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:27,000
I think we've heard a lot of the public hearing is important.

1191
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:31,000
I do want acknowledge that I will be disappointed if I don't hear from more people than I've already heard from.

1192
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:33,000
Because I've had a lot of letters.

1193
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:34,000
I've responded to many.

1194
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:35,000
I've met with people.

1195
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:40,000
I've been trying to do that public engagement part in a small compressed timeline for myself.

1196
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:46,000
And so if it doesn't expand upon that and I hear from more people, I will probably feel like maybe that time was wasted.

1197
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:51,000
But I'm willing to give the community a chance to feel like they're heard.

1198
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:55,000
And I look forward to going through a public hearing is something I don't often get to do.

1199
01:41:55,000 --> 01:42:00,000
So I'm looking forward to the process and seeing where this goes next.

1200
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:05,000
So hopefully this satisfies both those two parties and we can move on to the next stage.

1201
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:10,000
So I'm looking for all in favor.

1202
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:13,000
Any opposed?

1203
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:15,000
And motion passes.

1204
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:16,000
Thank you very much.

1205
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:21,000
We'll take a five minute recess so you can leave if you wish.

1206
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:23,000
I don't go get the mayor to take over.

1207
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:24,000
Thank you.

1208
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:37,000
Thank you.

1209
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:07,000
Thank you.

1210
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:37,000
Thank you.

1211
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:07,000
Thank you.

1212
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:37,000
Thank you.

1213
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:06,760
Council's package. Thank you. You're to take any questions. Thank you, sir. Questions? Councillor

1214
01:53:06,760 --> 01:53:13,000
Jewett? Thanks very much. How many submissions were there for the RFP to the RFP?

1215
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:15,000
We had a total of three.

1216
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:24,640
Three. Okay. And there's the next one percent for increasing insurance costs. It's said

1217
01:53:24,640 --> 01:53:29,920
that it was due to larger crowds. Yeah. It's a requirement that we have of the producer

1218
01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:37,400
to secure like event insurance, specific to that type of activity. And part of the analysis done

1219
01:53:37,400 --> 01:53:44,680
by the insurer is crowd size. So we base it on our estimates. And that size has increased

1220
01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:52,480
every year. So last year increased by about $5,000 over the year. Excuse me. 5,000 people over

1221
01:53:52,480 --> 01:53:57,280
the year before. So that was an incremental cost to our insurance coverage.

1222
01:53:57,280 --> 01:54:04,920
That's 5,000 total. What's the average audience size? I would say average would be 35 to

1223
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:11,280
4,000, but it can range up and down depending on the act, the weather, all sorts of factors.

1224
01:54:11,280 --> 01:54:14,280
Well, something I sure enjoy. Thank you.

1225
01:54:14,280 --> 01:54:17,680
Cheers. Thanks. Councillor DeJange.

1226
01:54:17,680 --> 01:54:23,720
I'm always excited when I see this, but try to understand the breakdown of the 130,000 more

1227
01:54:23,720 --> 01:54:30,560
between programming, performance services, administration, technical, production services.

1228
01:54:30,560 --> 01:54:39,480
It varies every year. A rule of thumb as we plan. We typically look at a range for programming

1229
01:54:39,480 --> 01:54:44,760
for performance services, which is basically everything it takes to pay a performer or get them

1230
01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:49,640
to whistler, have them here or their green room costs, things like that. That's usually between

1231
01:54:49,640 --> 01:54:57,080
a 58 to 65% of the overall budget. Technical production services, again, can fluctuate depending

1232
01:54:57,080 --> 01:55:02,240
on the type of acts we have, which may or may not need more production. So that's typically

1233
01:55:02,240 --> 01:55:09,600
in that average of the book 20 to 25% range. And then remaining costs would go towards a

1234
01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:17,520
administrative, legal, insurance is a cost. And then the producers' management fee, where

1235
01:55:17,520 --> 01:55:19,960
they pay their staff and themselves.

1236
01:55:19,960 --> 01:55:29,360
Great. It was very helpful. And the third, we've got what's at least 7 Thursday night performances.

1237
01:55:29,360 --> 01:55:36,720
And I've just curious, and I apologize if I missed that in our package, but the multiplier

1238
01:55:36,720 --> 01:55:40,760
effect that we get by extending, making long weekends through.

1239
01:55:40,760 --> 01:55:46,640
That's one of the goals of the program for FNA supported by tourism with service, as well as we always

1240
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:52,240
look to bring in more midweek traffic, especially in summer where it's already quite busy on the weekends.

1241
01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:57,320
And extend that length of stay. Typically people who stay longer need more goods and services

1242
01:55:57,320 --> 01:56:02,400
from whistler. So it just promotes the tourism economy.

1243
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:07,360
Both the cuff locals versus visitors every time I'm in the roof.

1244
01:56:07,360 --> 01:56:13,720
I think it also depends on the act. But we have a nice mix. I think the locals who go and

1245
01:56:13,720 --> 01:56:19,800
enjoy themselves greatly. And it's nice to see them at the shows. And the visitors like rubbing

1246
01:56:19,800 --> 01:56:25,440
elbows with the locals, something to brag about. But I think a lot of us has done when we

1247
01:56:25,440 --> 01:56:29,120
traveled somewhere and got to spend some time with the locals. You go back and tell your friends.

1248
01:56:29,120 --> 01:56:30,120
It's a great vibe.

1249
01:56:30,120 --> 01:56:38,640
Absolutely. I don't see it. Okay, move by Councillor Forsyth. Second, my Councillor

1250
01:56:38,640 --> 01:56:47,520
Murrell. Second time I've got names wrong. Are there any comments? Go ahead, Councillor

1251
01:56:47,520 --> 01:56:55,760
Jong. It's such a great value. I think the math quickly at 830,000 divided in 55,000

1252
01:56:55,760 --> 01:57:00,920
visits is like a $16 ticket or something like that. Cost being more to see Bob Dylan

1253
01:57:00,920 --> 01:57:04,280
and I was 16 years old. So it's a great value.

1254
01:57:04,280 --> 01:57:08,280
The numbers actually probably a little bit higher because we do get a lot of walk by that stop

1255
01:57:08,280 --> 01:57:14,880
and stay for a shorter duration. 10, 15, 20 minutes. I'm actually count them because it's almost

1256
01:57:14,880 --> 01:57:20,280
impossible to track that flow by. But yeah, we're pretty happy with our turnouts over

1257
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:26,520
here. Thank you. Councillor Murrell. I think we've talked a lot about trying to make

1258
01:57:26,520 --> 01:57:33,560
use of these tourism dollars to benefit locals and I think this one, as much as we see, tourism

1259
01:57:33,560 --> 01:57:38,800
coming in and coming in the village and spending money we see an absolute ton of locals out

1260
01:57:38,800 --> 01:57:42,200
to all the good concerts. So I'm looking forward to a new round when the announcement comes out

1261
01:57:42,200 --> 01:57:47,480
and managing my calendar based around that. So thank you. Councillor Jong. I think it's also

1262
01:57:47,480 --> 01:57:53,520
important to remember that the opening acts are generally local as well. And so it means

1263
01:57:53,520 --> 01:57:59,560
that local artists are also getting work. So thanks for sharing the wealth.

1264
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:06,560
I concur with the comments of my colleagues. Call the question there any opposed? Motion carries.

1265
01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:12,760
Thanks very much. Our next item is the Miller's Ponds sewer lift station replacement

1266
01:58:12,760 --> 01:58:18,360
tender award report, and it's going to be presented by Supervisor of Infrastructure Projects

1267
01:58:18,360 --> 01:58:31,880
Scott Morphett. Nice to see you. Good evening, Mayor and Council. It's good to see you all here

1268
01:58:31,880 --> 01:58:36,440
at Steven. Tonight, I'm happy to present to you the Miller's Ponds' secretive station

1269
01:58:36,440 --> 01:58:47,520
replacement project contract award recommendation. The purpose of this report tonight is to inform

1270
01:58:47,520 --> 01:58:52,520
the Council on project details, the plan and procurement for Miller's Ponds sewer lift station

1271
01:58:52,520 --> 01:58:58,200
replacement project. As per procurement policy, I'll be making a recommendation for contract

1272
01:58:58,200 --> 01:59:03,840
award on the project. On the screen you see in front of you is a picture of the existing

1273
01:59:03,840 --> 01:59:08,400
wet well in the inside down below the pumps of the bottom, level control floats,

1274
01:59:08,400 --> 01:59:15,400
wires and electrical juncture boxes that are needed replacement. Project background, the station

1275
01:59:15,400 --> 01:59:23,200
is a critical component of the sewer collection. Sorry. The sewer station is a critical

1276
01:59:23,200 --> 01:59:28,800
component of the sewer collection system, as is collection point for 21 residential properties,

1277
01:59:28,800 --> 01:59:33,320
and ensures efficient pumping and wastewater flows to the next high point in the system

1278
01:59:33,320 --> 01:59:38,440
which then flows down to the wastewater treatment by gravity. The replacement of the

1279
01:59:38,440 --> 01:59:43,320
sewer lift station, electrical, mechanical infrastructure, will improve the systems overall

1280
01:59:43,320 --> 01:59:49,480
durability, reduce the risk of future failures and enhance long-term performance. This station

1281
01:59:49,480 --> 01:59:55,320
was built in 1993 and has been in service for the past 33 years, which the engineer record has

1282
01:59:55,320 --> 02:00:00,040
reported that typical lay spans is 20 to 25 years for mechanical and 10.

1283
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:22,000
In short, the station is exceeded the expectancy of life. The photo on the left is the picture of the internal electrical components, currently in the Kiosk that needs replacement. The photo on the right is the photo on the fuses that are used in this station, which are a bit outdated technology.

1284
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:34,000
The project location is located at the sewer lift station at 2773 check-em-is-way in Miller's bond and basures in the road at the end of check-em-is-way and the cliff top lane intersection.

1285
02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:42,000
The area can expect minor traffic and pedestrian delays. Traffic control personnel will be on site during construction hours.

1286
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:52,000
The sewer bypass will be set up in the work zone and will be fed stuff. The bypass pumping may generate noise in the neighborhood and will run 24-7 for the duration of the project.

1287
02:00:52,000 --> 02:01:02,000
The photo on the bottom right is a picture of the sewer as a station and mentioned for replacement.

1288
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:14,000
The Kiosk, a square green box, houses the electrical components and all the instrumentation. This will be moved over here to the current water, and that will be relocated.

1289
02:01:14,000 --> 02:01:28,000
The sewer lift station here, that's this the lid, it's about 20 feet deep, houses the pumps and mechanical piping and electrical components for the pumps.

1290
02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:37,000
The photo here is an example showing the slide diagrams, a side diagram of a sewer lift station, a cylinder designed to respond to a sewer lift station.

1291
02:01:37,000 --> 02:01:47,000
In short, the sewer is collected from all the residential houses, which comes to the focal point, which comes down, enters the station through the inlet.

1292
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:57,000
The station then fills to a level, a set point, which then activates the pumps to turn on and draw down the level and move the wastewater up to high level point.

1293
02:01:57,000 --> 02:02:07,000
Where it is then discharged into a gravity piping where it then flows down onto the water, down to the wastewater treatment plant.

1294
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:24,000
The 2026 scope of work will include the new Kiosk, housing and all the electrical components and controls, replace electrical panels, instrumentation and integrate new skated technology, which is an acronym for supervisory control and data acquisition.

1295
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:33,000
This allows for historical training and remote access to the station from utilities, parks, yard or municipal.

1296
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:37,000
We'll also replace mechanical piping and pumps inside the wet well.

1297
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:45,000
And again, an overland bypass of the sewer lift station will be set up during the construction to keep service for the local residents during construction.

1298
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:54,000
This project is scheduled to start upon Council's approval in the spring of 2026 with substantial completion date of September 2026.

1299
02:02:54,000 --> 02:03:09,000
On a safety note, on a daily basis, safe working procedures will be managed to adjust for including traffic management plans, underground utilities, confined space, sloping and ensuring.

1300
02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:19,000
In methods, we will be utilizing the RMOW communications team, the RMOW website, the construction track, or posting pages, and the social media platforms.

1301
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:30,000
Notifications to residents will be delivered to the nearby near the project and project signs will be posted that project site prior to start dates.

1302
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:36,000
In summary, two compliant bids were submitted. The lowest compliant bid was 767,000.

1303
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:42,000
And it was, it came in 18% higher than the engineer's cost estimate of 650,100.

1304
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:49,000
The variance of this difference is primarily due to the bypass costs required for the sewer lift station construction.

1305
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:56,000
The estimate assumed shorter bypass pumping durations and note contingency for the bypass pumps.

1306
02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:14,000
The compliant low bid is Drake excavating 2016 limited, which is also to success you completed multiple capital projects for the RMOW in the past, and the team is looking forward to completing the 2026 scope of work.

1307
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:20,000
And according to the administrative report, here is the recommendation. Thank you for your time.

1308
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:21,000
Any questions?

1309
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:22,000
Thanks for presentation.

1310
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:23,000
How did you answer the question?

1311
02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:27,000
Yes, my question about the discrepancy and the estimate and the total cost.

1312
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:30,000
Thanks.

1313
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:45,000
I was confused by you also answered my question about where exactly it is, because I presume that it was on the side of the highway from Miller Creek or from function junction to west side road that new section of valley trail,

1314
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:47,000
but it's up on the other side of the highway.

1315
02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:49,000
Okay.

1316
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:50,000
Okay.

1317
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:51,000
Very end of the road.

1318
02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:52,000
That makes sense.

1319
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:53,000
It's turned up to cliff top.

1320
02:04:53,000 --> 02:04:54,000
Okay.

1321
02:04:54,000 --> 02:04:59,000
So my question is sort of related, but if you can answer it great, if not, I understand.

1322
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:05,000
On that section of valley trail on the other side of the highway, often there's significant odor.

1323
02:05:05,000 --> 02:05:11,000
And my presumption was that it's a consequence of the upgrades that are happening at the sewer treatment plant.

1324
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:17,000
But is it or is it because of the pump and will this alleviate that, even though it's on the other side?

1325
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:22,000
Oh, I'm not quite sure where you're with valley trail portion you're talking about.

1326
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:28,000
So the valley trail portion that goes from function junction is the new valley trail.

1327
02:05:28,000 --> 02:05:29,000
Oh yeah, okay.

1328
02:05:29,000 --> 02:05:34,000
Yeah, so there's significant odor there at times and I wonder why.

1329
02:05:34,000 --> 02:05:37,000
It's related to the main trunk line, that's the main artery.

1330
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:42,000
And I think that the flow can make, there's airhole breather holes in the mantle lids.

1331
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:43,000
Yeah.

1332
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:46,000
So it pushes them to the sewer odor out the hole.

1333
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:47,000
Okay.

1334
02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:50,000
So you can smell the sulfur at the smell.

1335
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:51,000
Yeah.

1336
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:55,000
And so do what will alleviate that?

1337
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:57,000
Is it another one of these on the other side?

1338
02:05:57,000 --> 02:06:01,000
No, this just keeps moving sewage from low point to high point.

1339
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:02,000
Okay.

1340
02:06:02,000 --> 02:06:05,000
That's the big carrier that takes it to the headwork so the treatment plant, the section that you're talking about.

1341
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:06,000
Okay.

1342
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:09,000
Uh, suppose my question is how do we get rid of that smell?

1343
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:11,000
That would be an odor study.

1344
02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:12,000
James?

1345
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:13,000
Oh, Charles.

1346
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:14,000
Sorry.

1347
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:15,000
Sorry.

1348
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:18,000
I didn't mean to take this on as such tension, but.

1349
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:20,000
That's okay.

1350
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:21,000
Good evening.

1351
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:32,000
So as part of our sewer model and master plan, we do have a recommendation to look at a wider odor control study across the

1352
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:34,000
Resortness party of us there.

1353
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:36,000
So that'll be covered in a.

1354
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:37,000
In a future topic.

1355
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:38,000
Okay.

1356
02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:39,000
So we're on it.

1357
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:40,000
Yes.

1358
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:41,000
Awesome.

1359
02:06:41,000 --> 02:06:42,000
Thank you.

1360
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:43,000
Councillor.

1361
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:44,000
Do it.

1362
02:06:44,000 --> 02:06:45,000
All right.

1363
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:46,000
Thanks very much.

1364
02:06:46,000 --> 02:06:50,000
The 21 lots are all single family lots.

1365
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:51,000
Correct.

1366
02:06:51,000 --> 02:06:54,000
It's at the end of Miller's pond there.

1367
02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:55,000
We're all the single family.

1368
02:06:55,000 --> 02:06:57,000
I believe they are just single family lots.

1369
02:06:57,000 --> 02:06:58,000
Right.

1370
02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:00,000
That turns up to cliff top you say.

1371
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:05,000
And then it goes downhill to where it's final destination is.

1372
02:07:05,000 --> 02:07:06,000
Correct.

1373
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:07,000
So interesting.

1374
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:08,000
I love math.

1375
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:10,000
Sort of.

1376
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:14,000
That's 43,410 dollars per lot.

1377
02:07:14,000 --> 02:07:17,000
And I hope that those.

1378
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:18,000
Those folks.

1379
02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:22,000
That's using the total cost of the contract, which was.

1380
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:23,000
Closer.

1381
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:25,000
It was around $911,000.

1382
02:07:25,000 --> 02:07:26,000
Correct.

1383
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:27,000
Correct.

1384
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:28,000
With the project management.

1385
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:29,000
Yeah.

1386
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:30,000
With the project management.

1387
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:32,000
So I just.

1388
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:33,000
This.

1389
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:35,000
This is not the sexiest part of.

1390
02:07:35,000 --> 02:07:37,000
Municipal services.

1391
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:38,000
But it's so necessary.

1392
02:07:38,000 --> 02:07:40,000
And I hope that people appreciate.

1393
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:42,000
The value that they are getting.

1394
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:44,000
From a project like this.

1395
02:07:44,000 --> 02:07:45,000
So.

1396
02:07:45,000 --> 02:07:46,000
Thank you very much.

1397
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:47,000
Thank you.

1398
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:49,000
Councillor Jones.

1399
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:53,000
I believe.

1400
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:57,000
It's at 3031 different pump stations we have in the valley.

1401
02:07:57,000 --> 02:07:59,000
So I'm up around 3036.

1402
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:01,000
So I'm going to have 3536.

1403
02:08:01,000 --> 02:08:02,000
Okay.

1404
02:08:02,000 --> 02:08:03,000
There's enough of them.

1405
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:06,000
And I'm the total project budget.

1406
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:08,000
1.2 million.

1407
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:09,000
That's for this.

1408
02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:12,000
Or covering the system for the years.

1409
02:08:12,000 --> 02:08:13,000
That is for this.

1410
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:14,000
Plus continues.

1411
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:15,000
Correct.

1412
02:08:15,000 --> 02:08:16,000
Yeah.

1413
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:17,000
Plus continues.

1414
02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:18,000
Over across.

1415
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:19,000
Over sites.

1416
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:20,000
That.

1417
02:08:21,000 --> 02:08:22,000
We don't get another one.

1418
02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:23,000
At least this year.

1419
02:08:23,000 --> 02:08:24,000
Yeah.

1420
02:08:24,000 --> 02:08:25,000
I hope it works better.

1421
02:08:25,000 --> 02:08:26,000
This one's planned.

1422
02:08:26,000 --> 02:08:27,000
So.

1423
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:28,000
Okay.

1424
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:29,000
Thank you.

1425
02:08:29,000 --> 02:08:30,000
Thank you.

1426
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:31,000
Presentation.

1427
02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:32,000
Okay.

1428
02:08:32,000 --> 02:08:34,000
You've answered all our questions.

1429
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:35,000
Thank you.

1430
02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:36,000
Thank you.

1431
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:37,000
All right.

1432
02:08:37,000 --> 02:08:38,000
Move by Councillor Forsyth.

1433
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:40,000
Second by Councillor Murrell.

1434
02:08:40,000 --> 02:08:41,000
Councillor Murrell.

1435
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:43,000
I just want to point out the picture.

1436
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:44,000
Those fuses.

1437
02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:45,000
I had to change.

1438
02:08:45,000 --> 02:08:48,000
I had to find one of those on a Friday night with a full restaurant.

1439
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:52,000
I went out and had to change it, which is like a game of operation with a 100 amp.

1440
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:56,000
And so I'm really happy to see they found new technology because it was the scariest thing

1441
02:08:56,000 --> 02:08:57,000
I've ever done.

1442
02:08:57,000 --> 02:08:58,000
Thanks.

1443
02:08:58,000 --> 02:08:59,000
Okay.

1444
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:00,000
Okay.

1445
02:09:00,000 --> 02:09:02,000
Based on that, I'll be in voting.

1446
02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:04,000
I'm voting in favor of this.

1447
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:05,000
Okay.

1448
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:11,000
Are there any opposed motion carries?

1449
02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:17,000
Our next item is the Public Outdoor Space Regulation Violence, presented by Manager of Resort,

1450
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:20,000
Parks Planning, Martin Parto, Mr. Parto.

1451
02:09:20,000 --> 02:09:22,000
The floor is yours.

1452
02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:31,000
Good evening.

1453
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:35,000
Tonight Council's being asked to get first second and third readings to the Public Outdoor Space

1454
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:41,000
Regulation Violence, number 2480, 2026, in a form substantially similar to the version

1455
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:48,000
included as the Pentex A to the December 16th Committee of the Whole Report.

1456
02:09:48,000 --> 02:09:55,000
This request is being made because the existing park use by law number 1526-2002 is outdated

1457
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:58,000
and is no longer a no longer reflects current legislation.

1458
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:02,000
Operational realities or modern uses of public outdoor spaces.

1459
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:06,000
In short, significant legislative changes increased operational complexity

1460
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:12,000
and growing community needs require a modernized by law with stronger and clear enforcement

1461
02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:13,000
tools.

1462
02:10:13,000 --> 02:10:18,000
As presented at the Committee of the Whole Meeting, and as for your council package, the new

1463
02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:22,000
Public Outdoor Space Regulation by law referred to as the Hoser by law.

1464
02:10:22,000 --> 02:10:30,000
Expansive scope to all public outdoor spaces and addresses issues such as e-mobility, commercial activities, accessibility,

1465
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:33,000
Nordic seasonal closures at law slake and safety.

1466
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:39,000
I'd like to take a minute to address Mr. Sinclair's questions from earlier this evening.

1467
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:45,000
To be clear, the responsibility to enforce the Motor Vehicle Act, which applies to municipal roads in Highway 99,

1468
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:49,000
lies with the RCMP, as does enforcing a bicycle helmet lawns.

1469
02:10:49,000 --> 02:10:54,000
Municipal by law service is staff or responsible for enforcing the rules in the proposed poser

1470
02:10:54,000 --> 02:11:01,000
and may consider partnered enforcement activities with the RCMP where necessary.

1471
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:08,000
The proposed poser rules for e-devices align with the Motor Vehicle Act, which is provincial legislation,

1472
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:14,000
because users frequently travel between municipal roads in Highway 99, where the Motor Vehicle Act applies

1473
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:19,000
and the Valley Trail, so think of Crosswalk, acting to segments of Valley Trail.

1474
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:26,000
The Valley Trail is regarded by the RMW to ensure consistent expectations across these overlapping jurisdictions.

1475
02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:36,000
The proposed poser by a lot mirrors the regulations set out in the Motor Vehicle Act for e-devices, in particular motor assisted cycles.

1476
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:46,000
In terms of communication, the RMW intends to introduce the spring public communications campaign to reinforce desired Valley Trail and e-device behavior and etiquette.

1477
02:11:46,000 --> 02:11:52,000
Since the committee of the whole meeting, there have been several small changes, adjustments to poser,

1478
02:11:52,000 --> 02:12:01,000
these include permitting night use of the Valley Trail in section 6.1C, with respect to the loss-like Nordic operations.

1479
02:12:01,000 --> 02:12:11,000
We've made the rules even clear if what activities are allowed or not, plus added fee and waiver requirements to access the designated Nordic areas.

1480
02:12:11,000 --> 02:12:17,000
We've added a ban on ATVs, UTVs, and snowmobiles, and public outdoor spaces.

1481
02:12:17,000 --> 02:12:32,000
The ticketing pathways have been expanded, and offense act penalties clarified, and lastly, GM Port-Philio is the wording spent tweaked, and the GM discretion has been broadened for the winter operations.

1482
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:38,000
In terms of communication and engagement, this has been very much at the inform level of public engagement.

1483
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:51,000
Finally, the staff developed this, the updated the by-law and relied on external consultants and external legal advice, and used a iterative and review process.

1484
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:58,000
So, councils being asked to get the first three readings to the new public outdoor space regulation by-law, replacing the 2002 park use by-law.

1485
02:12:58,000 --> 02:13:07,000
This items before council, because the current by-laws outdated misaligned with legislation and insufficient for days, technologies, recreation patterns, and enforcement needs.

1486
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:21,000
Central content or context includes expanded geographic scope, updated rules for accessibility, clarity around operating hours, commercial activities, Nordic seasonal closures, and a comprehensive framework for e-mobility devices.

1487
02:13:21,000 --> 02:13:30,000
The by-law consolidates 20 years of operational experience, strength and enforcement, and provides consistent management across all municipal public outdoor spaces.

1488
02:13:30,000 --> 02:13:39,000
So, the recommendation is before you, the council consider getting the first second third reading to the public outdoor space regulation by-law number 2480 2026.

1489
02:13:39,000 --> 02:13:41,000
Let me hop you down through any questions.

1490
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:42,000
Thanks for your part.

1491
02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:44,000
Councillor Morton.

1492
02:13:44,000 --> 02:13:51,000
Thank you for the part. Sorry, I just saw ice fishing in there, but I didn't see any of that in the report.

1493
02:13:51,000 --> 02:13:54,000
Do we currently don't allow ice fishing?

1494
02:13:54,000 --> 02:14:03,000
There was clarity around ice fishing that was, when it was presented to close to community of the whole, sorry, ice fishing was excluded.

1495
02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:10,000
We missed that, and we've since gone through and tweaked it to allow that access to occur in consideration of the Nordic.

1496
02:14:10,000 --> 02:14:12,000
On all lakes, or?

1497
02:14:12,000 --> 02:14:17,000
With respect to the lost lake and the Nordic operations.

1498
02:14:18,000 --> 02:14:30,000
Because there's a conflict between people getting to lost lake, the actual lake, in the park, and crossing and using the cross country trails, where there's a liability concern for mispeld.

1499
02:14:30,000 --> 02:14:37,000
Okay, I just, our lakes has lost like been fully frozen in the last two years.

1500
02:14:37,000 --> 02:14:43,000
In historically, there's been ice fishing, but I'm not sure if it's current status of our lakes.

1501
02:14:43,000 --> 02:14:45,000
Okay, okay, thank you.

1502
02:14:48,000 --> 02:14:51,000
Okay, I'm going ahead to council judge.

1503
02:14:51,000 --> 02:14:54,000
Thanks very much, Mr. Pardo.

1504
02:14:54,000 --> 02:14:59,000
Clarification in the, the by-law itself.

1505
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:08,000
It's light e-bike or standard e-bike. What's the difference between a light e-bike and a standard e-bike?

1506
02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:12,000
So those are defined by the Motor Vehicle Act.

1507
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:14,000
I didn't have it with me.

1508
02:15:14,000 --> 02:15:24,000
Yeah, sorry. It is complex. A light e-bike is a e-bike that's intended for users that are under the ages of 16.

1509
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:30,000
And it has less electrical power to it than a standard e-bike.

1510
02:15:30,000 --> 02:15:36,000
So there's e-bikes that are designed for young riders.

1511
02:15:36,000 --> 02:15:40,000
I'm not sure that there is. I haven't done extensive marked search.

1512
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:46,000
I'm hard of hearing. I thought you said the light e-bike was intended for use by people under 16.

1513
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:47,000
Did I get that wrong?

1514
02:15:47,000 --> 02:15:50,000
And that is the provincial legislation. That is correct.

1515
02:15:50,000 --> 02:15:58,000
Okay, because also on 4.2 parents, guardian of 18 years old or younger,

1516
02:15:58,000 --> 02:16:05,000
have to ensure that their child complies. Are they liable for any damage or injury caused by their child?

1517
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:11,000
That's a question. That's outside of my wheelhouse. That would be a legal question.

1518
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:16,000
Okay. What are the age restrictions for e-bikes according to the MDA?

1519
02:16:16,000 --> 02:16:21,000
So under the age of 16, you are required to use a light e-bike.

1520
02:16:21,000 --> 02:16:29,000
Under the age of 18, I think the motor vehicle access actually that all users are required to wear a helmet.

1521
02:16:29,000 --> 02:16:35,000
Okay, so the standard e-bike might be like the cargo bikes?

1522
02:16:35,000 --> 02:16:44,000
A standard e-bike is defined by the motor vehicle act. It has a motor that stops providing power at 32 kilometers an hour.

1523
02:16:44,000 --> 02:16:51,000
It has a maximum electrical output of 500 watts. It may or may not have a throttle.

1524
02:16:51,000 --> 02:16:57,000
Okay. Interesting how easy it is to remove that governor.

1525
02:16:57,000 --> 02:17:02,000
So most of these bikes is basically the flick of the switch I looked online.

1526
02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:07,000
I didn't look up the MDA, but I looked to see how you could remove the governor.

1527
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:13,000
In law's lake, there's the two kinds of bikes.

1528
02:17:13,000 --> 02:17:20,000
And it's not permitted for throttle bikes to use non asphalt trails.

1529
02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:24,000
They're only allowed on asphalt trails. Is that correct?

1530
02:17:24,000 --> 02:17:26,000
That's what we're defining in our by-law.

1531
02:17:26,000 --> 02:17:28,000
Okay, sir.

1532
02:17:28,000 --> 02:17:34,000
And so what is not permitted at all is e-scape boards and scooters.

1533
02:17:34,000 --> 02:17:36,000
And that's due to the MDA.

1534
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:45,000
Okay. And in your report, you say not aware of any jurisdiction that is successfully in four speed limits.

1535
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:48,000
So everyone is begging for it.

1536
02:17:48,000 --> 02:17:55,000
What about installing one of the electric speed displays like the one when we come into the village?

1537
02:17:55,000 --> 02:18:02,000
We can certainly do that. For some people it becomes a bit of an activity challenge.

1538
02:18:02,000 --> 02:18:11,000
I'm aware of that. That's how the app on the whistleblack on app work to see how fast you could go.

1539
02:18:11,000 --> 02:18:13,000
Okay.

1540
02:18:13,000 --> 02:18:18,000
No umbrella tent or shelter. That means like sunshades everything.

1541
02:18:18,000 --> 02:18:23,000
That's discretionary for the by-law officers.

1542
02:18:23,000 --> 02:18:28,000
Yes, we discussed this at the committee. The whole presentation and it is under the discretion of the by-law officers.

1543
02:18:28,000 --> 02:18:34,000
I know it's a pretty finished. It is a rule that they can enforce if required.

1544
02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:42,000
I know that we've covered a lot of this at the committee of the whole, but more people watch the regular council meeting then watch.

1545
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:48,000
Unfortunately, even though the committee of the whole is great and they should watch it.

1546
02:18:48,000 --> 02:18:59,000
But when I went out with the valley posts, the only tents they didn't allow to be put up are those eight by eight pop-up tents.

1547
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:03,000
Everything else seemed to be kind of okay.

1548
02:19:03,000 --> 02:19:05,000
All right.

1549
02:19:05,000 --> 02:19:13,000
I've been out on at Las Lake when there's ice fishing and there's commercial ice fishing on Las Lake.

1550
02:19:13,000 --> 02:19:18,000
There's guides going out there with people.

1551
02:19:18,000 --> 02:19:23,000
And I was quickly looking through to see where the ice fishing was.

1552
02:19:23,000 --> 02:19:31,000
How are you permitted to go out on the ice because one of the things that happens at Las Lake is you're told you may not go out on the ice.

1553
02:19:31,000 --> 02:19:34,000
Yeah, that's an operational issue that again is not in my wheelhouse.

1554
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:37,000
It'd be happy to find an answer for you for that one.

1555
02:19:38,000 --> 02:19:43,000
So for instance, so we're not asking them if they have a fishing license.

1556
02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:45,000
Again, it's not in my wheelhouse.

1557
02:19:45,000 --> 02:19:47,000
All right.

1558
02:19:47,000 --> 02:19:58,000
And then with the safety messages has there been a consideration about using something similar to the Alpine responsibility code,

1559
02:19:58,000 --> 02:20:01,000
where we talk about common sense and courtesy.

1560
02:20:01,000 --> 02:20:11,000
And when you're people ahead of you have the right of way as your responsibility to pass safely, that sort of thing would we be able to get messages like that out?

1561
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:13,000
We are intending to do that.

1562
02:20:13,000 --> 02:20:15,000
Yeah, that's great.

1563
02:20:15,000 --> 02:20:25,000
And the only thing I didn't see, oh, I know there was some, why did we change from the LGA to the community charter for this.

1564
02:20:25,000 --> 02:20:30,000
That's at the top of the, that's right at the top of the staff report.

1565
02:20:30,000 --> 02:20:33,000
Okay, going to defer to.

1566
02:20:33,000 --> 02:20:40,000
Is it because of the, um, the fines?

1567
02:20:40,000 --> 02:20:46,000
Could you be more specific when you say when we changed from, at the, I'm sorry, I have to go back.

1568
02:20:46,000 --> 02:20:47,000
I can work.

1569
02:20:47,000 --> 02:20:48,000
I can elaborate there.

1570
02:20:48,000 --> 02:20:55,000
So the park use by law was defined under the community charter and the posers proposed under the,

1571
02:20:55,000 --> 02:20:59,000
a little government act.

1572
02:20:59,000 --> 02:21:02,000
I just wondered why in, this is in the by law.

1573
02:21:02,000 --> 02:21:05,000
Yeah, you're, you're, you're talking about in the preambles to the.

1574
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:09,000
Yeah, the preamble is in the stock report.

1575
02:21:09,000 --> 02:21:12,000
But it says where's the community charter?

1576
02:21:12,000 --> 02:21:15,000
It does say at the top that it's the community charter.

1577
02:21:15,000 --> 02:21:20,000
But it used to be the LGA and I'm just wondering why, why it changed.

1578
02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:22,000
I guess.

1579
02:21:22,000 --> 02:21:24,000
Well.

1580
02:21:24,000 --> 02:21:25,000
Okay.

1581
02:21:25,000 --> 02:21:30,000
I think it has to do that, um, where the area of responsibility is shifted from, um,

1582
02:21:30,000 --> 02:21:34,000
for all municipalities, uh, from the LGA to the community charter.

1583
02:21:34,000 --> 02:21:36,000
So we were obliged to follow that.

1584
02:21:36,000 --> 02:21:39,000
I think, but let us confirm that.

1585
02:21:39,000 --> 02:21:45,000
And I didn't see a schedule for, uh, fines for violation.

1586
02:21:45,000 --> 02:21:52,000
Like they had a list of all the things that thou shalt not do, but not what the consequences were.

1587
02:21:52,000 --> 02:21:55,000
So those will be included.

1588
02:21:55,000 --> 02:21:57,000
Should we receive first three readings?

1589
02:21:57,000 --> 02:22:00,000
The evening, um, for the next meeting.

1590
02:22:00,000 --> 02:22:03,000
We have the by-law notice enforcement, um, amendments.

1591
02:22:03,000 --> 02:22:04,000
Okay.

1592
02:22:04,000 --> 02:22:11,000
The MTISI amendments to capture the, uh, the fines that would be attached to all of the different

1593
02:22:11,000 --> 02:22:12,000
infractions.

1594
02:22:12,000 --> 02:22:13,000
Okay.

1595
02:22:13,000 --> 02:22:15,000
I probably, I've seen these a million times.

1596
02:22:15,000 --> 02:22:20,000
But I wasn't aware of the, um, uh, how it, how it went.

1597
02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:21,000
So thank you for that.

1598
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:22,000
Thanks very much.

1599
02:22:22,000 --> 02:22:24,000
Thanks for all the work on this.

1600
02:22:24,000 --> 02:22:30,000
Um, you heard from someone today, and actually one of the speakers, um, today, uh,

1601
02:22:30,000 --> 02:22:35,000
had written a letter when her, uh, her child was hit by a bike on the, um, the valley trail.

1602
02:22:35,000 --> 02:22:37,000
So thank you very much for this work.

1603
02:22:37,000 --> 02:22:38,000
It's very important.

1604
02:22:38,000 --> 02:22:39,000
Thank you.

1605
02:22:39,000 --> 02:22:41,000
We, we have an answer.

1606
02:22:41,000 --> 02:22:46,000
The community charter wasn't, uh, actually enacted until 2003.

1607
02:22:46,000 --> 02:22:51,000
And our original, um, park use by-law was 2002.

1608
02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:53,000
Thank you.

1609
02:22:53,000 --> 02:22:56,000
Um, Councillor Morton.

1610
02:22:56,000 --> 02:23:00,000
Um, I don't see anything in here about commercial use on the lakes.

1611
02:23:00,000 --> 02:23:02,000
Have we considered that?

1612
02:23:02,000 --> 02:23:07,000
So the municipality does not have jurisdiction over activities that happen on the lakes.

1613
02:23:07,000 --> 02:23:12,000
Outside of the, for sure, license areas that we have, which are usually just offshore from our parks.

1614
02:23:12,000 --> 02:23:15,000
Like a lakeside park, uh, there.

1615
02:23:15,000 --> 02:23:28,000
Um, the, um, the existing park use by-law and poser allow us to have commercial activities in our parks.

1616
02:23:28,000 --> 02:23:29,000
Okay.

1617
02:23:29,000 --> 02:23:39,000
And then, obviously, because we don't have jurisdiction on the lakes, having, uh, offering a business license to allow someone to operate on the lake is not something that we would.

1618
02:23:40,000 --> 02:23:44,000
Well, we can offer a business license to someone using our parks.

1619
02:23:44,000 --> 02:23:51,000
And if they're using our parks as a launch point to go to the lake, they would require senior levels of government approval.

1620
02:23:51,000 --> 02:23:52,000
Okay.

1621
02:23:52,000 --> 02:23:53,000
Thank you.

1622
02:23:57,000 --> 02:24:07,000
If there was a desire from council to consider some investigation of the use of our parks in that fashion,

1623
02:24:08,000 --> 02:24:17,000
would you suggest that this by-law be amended or, I guess, in advance of that research should be done.

1624
02:24:17,000 --> 02:24:22,000
But is this the place that kind of a policy would fit best is is in poser?

1625
02:24:22,000 --> 02:24:27,000
Well, poser allows for commercial activities in parks.

1626
02:24:27,000 --> 02:24:30,000
There's no change from what we currently operate.

1627
02:24:30,000 --> 02:24:36,000
Okay, so if you think of Lake Side Park, there's a concession operator that is there that goes through an RFP process.

1628
02:24:36,000 --> 02:24:43,000
Uh, and provides a service to the community to guests and municipality, uh, there.

1629
02:24:43,000 --> 02:24:47,000
So they are approved and it seems to work quite well.

1630
02:24:47,000 --> 02:24:50,000
Um, we also have concession operators in terms of food trucks.

1631
02:24:50,000 --> 02:24:53,000
Or there's another canoe operator that's also on all to lake.

1632
02:24:53,000 --> 02:24:57,000
Uh, and then we have the cross country, uh, ski operations out of the, uh, the pass of house.

1633
02:24:57,000 --> 02:25:00,000
So there's precedent for us to have commercial activities in our parks.

1634
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:06,000
And there's nothing in poser or the current by park use by law to prohibit that.

1635
02:25:06,000 --> 02:25:07,000
Okay.

1636
02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:19,000
So it makes sense to adopt this and then if we were interested in having some sort of investigation of those uses done ask for that report separately from this.

1637
02:25:19,000 --> 02:25:24,000
Yes, and that would be the direction of council and direction to the acting CAO.

1638
02:25:24,000 --> 02:25:25,000
Okay.

1639
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:26,000
Terrific.

1640
02:25:27,000 --> 02:25:29,000
Um, yeah, go ahead, councilor.

1641
02:25:29,000 --> 02:25:44,000
Um, in the definitions in the by law, a wheeled conveyance does not include mobility aids or wheeled devices that are adaptive or designed to be flexible and adjust to meet the unique needs of persons with disabilities to allow for accessibility.

1642
02:25:44,000 --> 02:25:49,000
Um, why is that, why are those devices not included?

1643
02:25:50,000 --> 02:26:04,000
That's a good question, and it comes into the, um, the nuances, the fine minutia of the actual by law and how it gets applied for a valid trail recreation trail and then municipal and highway roads.

1644
02:26:04,000 --> 02:26:10,000
So if you actually are able to work through the by law and if had more time, I could connect the dots for you.

1645
02:26:10,000 --> 02:26:17,000
Um, just because they're not considered a wheeled conveyance doesn't mean they're not permitted, they are permitted.

1646
02:26:17,000 --> 02:26:18,000
Yeah, everywhere.

1647
02:26:18,000 --> 02:26:19,000
Okay.

1648
02:26:19,000 --> 02:26:25,000
Just because it's listed, they're listed with motor vehicles and undefined e-bikes and other things that aren't allowed.

1649
02:26:25,000 --> 02:26:26,000
Correct.

1650
02:26:26,000 --> 02:26:27,000
And that's so clear.

1651
02:26:27,000 --> 02:26:28,000
Those are allowed.

1652
02:26:28,000 --> 02:26:33,000
Yeah, that's to clarify what can and can be used elsewhere in our geographic system.

1653
02:26:33,000 --> 02:26:34,000
So.

1654
02:26:34,000 --> 02:26:35,000
Thank you.

1655
02:26:35,000 --> 02:26:46,000
Um, I'll ask you to stick around, but we'll make this resolution, and I think they'll be a follow up that we could probably use your assistance on as well.

1656
02:26:46,000 --> 02:26:47,000
Okay.

1657
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:48,000
So thank you for the presentation.

1658
02:26:48,000 --> 02:26:50,000
Look for the resolution as laid out.

1659
02:26:50,000 --> 02:26:52,000
We would by Councillor.

1660
02:26:52,000 --> 02:26:54,000
First, I second by Councillor Murrell comments.

1661
02:26:54,000 --> 02:26:55,000
There you go.

1662
02:26:55,000 --> 02:26:56,000
Go ahead.

1663
02:26:56,000 --> 02:26:57,000
Councillor Dijon.

1664
02:26:57,000 --> 02:26:58,000
I'm glad.

1665
02:26:58,000 --> 02:27:00,000
Uh, we, although, yeah, we don't get as much viewing.

1666
02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:05,000
Um, I'm glad we work this through a community of the whole being that there's so much detail.

1667
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:06,000
Uh, to it.

1668
02:27:06,000 --> 02:27:08,000
And I felt that was so helpful.

1669
02:27:08,000 --> 02:27:11,000
And I'm bringing this to the resolutions tonight.

1670
02:27:11,000 --> 02:27:12,000
Thank you.

1671
02:27:12,000 --> 02:27:13,000
Councillor.

1672
02:27:13,000 --> 02:27:14,000
Thank you.

1673
02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:19,000
And, um, Mr. Sinclair was here earlier to ask questions.

1674
02:27:19,000 --> 02:27:22,000
And I don't feel like we fully answered his question.

1675
02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:30,000
We're not actively putting bylaw officers on the Valley Trail to do speed checks, helmet checks, etc.

1676
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:32,000
It felt like that was his question.

1677
02:27:32,000 --> 02:27:39,000
And I feel like we were just saying to him, yeah, yeah, we're, this, this deals with speed.

1678
02:27:39,000 --> 02:27:48,000
But what, what this doesn't do is this doesn't allocate a hundred new bylaw officers that are going to be out there enforcing speed or helmets,

1679
02:27:48,000 --> 02:27:56,000
or any of the other things that, frankly, we're expecting people to abide by, by having these bylaws.

1680
02:27:56,000 --> 02:27:58,000
It's expected behavior.

1681
02:27:58,000 --> 02:28:01,000
It's not, this is not punitive.

1682
02:28:01,000 --> 02:28:04,000
We're not going out there with, we couldn't.

1683
02:28:04,000 --> 02:28:08,000
And I don't think our budget process could accommodate the number of bylaws.

1684
02:28:08,000 --> 02:28:16,000
The number of bylaw officers we'd be required to have to do the kind of enforcement that the letters we get every week ask for.

1685
02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:22,000
And so I just want that to be really clear to the community that this is expected behavior.

1686
02:28:22,000 --> 02:28:27,000
And a number of other parameters that allow us to do the work that we do.

1687
02:28:27,000 --> 02:28:35,000
But this isn't changing the process of bylaw enforcement as we get demanded all the time.

1688
02:28:35,000 --> 02:28:36,000
Thank you.

1689
02:28:37,000 --> 02:28:39,000
Anyone else?

1690
02:28:39,000 --> 02:28:40,000
Thank you for this.

1691
02:28:40,000 --> 02:28:44,000
I think it's pragmatic and I think it is thorough.

1692
02:28:44,000 --> 02:28:47,000
So I will be voting in favor.

1693
02:28:47,000 --> 02:28:49,000
Are there any opposed?

1694
02:28:49,000 --> 02:28:51,000
Motion carries.

1695
02:28:51,000 --> 02:29:02,000
Mr. Parto, if we would like to ask staff to come back with some kind of insight or advice or research on the public use,

1696
02:29:02,000 --> 02:29:11,000
the commercial use of our parks for some kind of activities on the lake.

1697
02:29:11,000 --> 02:29:15,000
Do you have any suggestions for us on how we could accomplish that task?

1698
02:29:15,000 --> 02:29:22,000
I think Ms. Lysit may even have a resolution prepared for us.

1699
02:29:22,000 --> 02:29:26,000
I do. If I could get the council computer to go off on the screen please.

1700
02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:27,000
Okay.

1701
02:29:27,000 --> 02:29:38,000
Any comments on this from your perspective, Mr. Parto?

1702
02:29:38,000 --> 02:29:40,000
No, this works well.

1703
02:29:40,000 --> 02:29:46,000
I think it's important to recognize the jurisdictional difference between municipal parks and lakes.

1704
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:48,000
This resolution does not.

1705
02:29:48,000 --> 02:29:50,000
Okay.

1706
02:29:50,000 --> 02:29:52,000
Thank you for that.

1707
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:54,000
I have one question about it.

1708
02:29:54,000 --> 02:29:58,000
There's been a lot of conversations at the Smart Tourism Committee about the concept of.

1709
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:09,000
Out of the parks in the winter, and specifically around some commercial use, sawna's, that kind of thing, could this resolution

1710
02:30:09,000 --> 02:30:19,000
would this resolution direct that investigation as well, or would you expect that we need to be clear to get that outcome?

1711
02:30:19,000 --> 02:30:25,000
That's sufficiently clear. Perfect. Yeah, we're great to go back up.

1712
02:30:25,000 --> 02:30:28,000
If that could just go back up on the, thank you.

1713
02:30:28,000 --> 02:30:33,000
All right, moved by Councillor Morton. Is there a seconder? Seconded by Councillor Murrell?

1714
02:30:33,000 --> 02:30:35,000
Comments.

1715
02:30:35,000 --> 02:30:45,000
Yeah, our lakes are some of Wissers most cherished assets, and they play a meaningful role in how residents and visitors experience our community.

1716
02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:52,000
We have updated almost all of our parks to accommodate different needs, the increase of park users and environmental impacts.

1717
02:30:52,000 --> 02:31:00,000
We're also seeing an increase in activities on the water, a lot of which have caused harm to the lake and surrounding areas.

1718
02:31:00,000 --> 02:31:07,000
We've heard from locals and from operators who have seen other towns.

1719
02:31:07,000 --> 02:31:18,000
We've seen other towns who have managed commercial activities on lakes, and that can enhance visitor experience while respecting environmental and community values.

1720
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:24,000
But we don't have currently have a clear policy framework to guide these conversations.

1721
02:31:24,000 --> 02:31:37,000
So I'd like to ask you guys counsel to support directing staff to bring forward a report that explores whether commercial use of our lakes could be appropriate and if so under what conditions.

1722
02:31:37,000 --> 02:31:47,000
This would allow us to have a thoughtful informed discussion grounded environmental protection, public access, safety, and economic considerations before any decisions are made.

1723
02:31:48,000 --> 02:31:49,000
Thank you.

1724
02:31:49,000 --> 02:31:51,000
Thanks guys for more other comments.

1725
02:31:53,000 --> 02:31:54,000
Go ahead.

1726
02:31:54,000 --> 02:31:55,000
Just a second.

1727
02:31:55,000 --> 02:31:56,000
It does.

1728
02:31:58,000 --> 02:32:00,000
Yeah, I'm not putting this.

1729
02:32:00,000 --> 02:32:05,000
Our lakes and parks are overwhelmed.

1730
02:32:05,000 --> 02:32:13,000
I am not looking for anything that encourages more on our lakes and waterways.

1731
02:32:13,000 --> 02:32:16,000
Our lakes and parks.

1732
02:32:17,000 --> 02:32:18,000
It.

1733
02:32:22,000 --> 02:32:25,000
The sauna's and maybe winter use for sauna's.

1734
02:32:25,000 --> 02:32:26,000
Things like that.

1735
02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:30,000
The floating barges that are popular now.

1736
02:32:30,000 --> 02:32:35,000
We've heard from staff today that there were eight different applications for them.

1737
02:32:35,000 --> 02:32:40,000
They might sound interesting and fun and an attractant for guests.

1738
02:32:41,000 --> 02:32:42,000
So we're jet skis.

1739
02:32:42,000 --> 02:32:44,000
They are super popular.

1740
02:32:44,000 --> 02:32:46,000
And you can get one in Kelona.

1741
02:32:46,000 --> 02:32:47,000
No offense to Kelona.

1742
02:32:47,000 --> 02:32:49,000
They have their tourism strategy.

1743
02:32:49,000 --> 02:32:50,000
We have ours.

1744
02:32:50,000 --> 02:32:51,000
And we don't have them here.

1745
02:32:51,000 --> 02:32:53,000
That's not a thing that we do.

1746
02:32:53,000 --> 02:32:58,000
And I think that that is what retains the natural beauty of this place.

1747
02:32:58,000 --> 02:33:03,000
And provides the protection that everyone says they want.

1748
02:33:04,000 --> 02:33:11,000
Part of smart tourism that the part that speaks to me is responsible stewardship of this place.

1749
02:33:11,000 --> 02:33:23,000
And I don't think that uninhibited growth in commercial use of our lakes and parks would be responsible stewardship.

1750
02:33:23,000 --> 02:33:27,000
So respectfully I'm not going to support this.

1751
02:33:27,000 --> 02:33:29,000
You're doing it.

1752
02:33:29,000 --> 02:33:33,000
I am tending to side with with Councillor Forsyth.

1753
02:33:33,000 --> 02:33:41,000
I think though that this is directing staff to investigate it and not to actually make it happen.

1754
02:33:41,000 --> 02:33:45,000
So I'd be interested in the investigation.

1755
02:33:45,000 --> 02:33:49,000
I am interested in potentially the winter operations.

1756
02:33:49,000 --> 02:33:55,000
But I do agree that summers are already busy enough on the lakes.

1757
02:33:55,000 --> 02:33:58,000
And we even talked about using green lake.

1758
02:33:58,000 --> 02:34:01,000
And we know how busy that is as a boat launch.

1759
02:34:01,000 --> 02:34:11,000
So without the data, which is that what the investigation will give us, which is what we were missing this afternoon at the special meeting.

1760
02:34:11,000 --> 02:34:15,000
That data will certainly inform what comes next.

1761
02:34:15,000 --> 02:34:20,000
And I'm very interested in hearing how many people are using the docks.

1762
02:34:20,000 --> 02:34:23,000
How much parking is available.

1763
02:34:23,000 --> 02:34:29,000
And even the use per acre or per square foot in the summer.

1764
02:34:29,000 --> 02:34:36,000
And what effect that would have having a dock that's 20 feet pull up beside one of our docks.

1765
02:34:36,000 --> 02:34:40,000
I want to be sure that if we do something like this, that we do it.

1766
02:34:40,000 --> 02:34:43,000
Having thoroughly investigated and gotten the data.

1767
02:34:43,000 --> 02:34:44,000
Thank you.

1768
02:34:44,000 --> 02:34:45,000
Thank you.

1769
02:34:45,000 --> 02:34:46,000
Thank you.

1770
02:34:46,000 --> 02:34:47,000
Thank you.

1771
02:34:47,000 --> 02:34:48,000
Thank you.

1772
02:34:48,000 --> 02:34:50,000
I do agree with council for us.

1773
02:34:50,000 --> 02:34:53,000
On the summer component, I think our parks are busy.

1774
02:34:53,000 --> 02:34:58,000
We've been very successful in making them useful.

1775
02:34:58,000 --> 02:35:05,000
And having people there, but I'm, you know, the shoulder season is all season in terms of the winter and the fall and the spring in terms of the parks.

1776
02:35:05,000 --> 02:35:08,000
We've got huge amount of investment and infrastructure in those.

1777
02:35:08,000 --> 02:35:10,000
And I would love to see them use.

1778
02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:16,000
Like this, it can be conscious of where we are busy and where we are not.

1779
02:35:16,000 --> 02:35:17,000
And that's smart tourism, right?

1780
02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:18,000
So I think it's a good exercise.

1781
02:35:18,000 --> 02:35:24,000
We will understand that we can direct some investment in places that currently need it.

1782
02:35:24,000 --> 02:35:27,000
And stay away from parts that don't need more use.

1783
02:35:27,000 --> 02:35:29,000
So I think it's a smart choice.

1784
02:35:30,000 --> 02:35:31,000
Councillor John.

1785
02:35:31,000 --> 02:35:34,000
I think I'm pretty much reiterating my colleagues.

1786
02:35:34,000 --> 02:35:38,000
You can't manage what you can't measure.

1787
02:35:38,000 --> 02:35:45,000
And we are a reactive steward on our lakes and how to who become a proactive steward.

1788
02:35:45,000 --> 02:35:58,000
But we can't hide in a corner on the side there because, in terms of future-proofing shorter winter, we have to optimize more our valley and other natural resources.

1789
02:35:58,000 --> 02:35:59,000
Responsibly.

1790
02:35:59,000 --> 02:36:08,000
So I think there's a deep dive that's required here and then hopefully with enough perspectives.

1791
02:36:08,000 --> 02:36:23,000
We can make the right choices on optimizing these assets and ensuring that the environmental monitoring is tight as part of being proactive as opposed to reactive thinking.

1792
02:36:24,000 --> 02:36:26,000
Yeah, I agree with my colleagues.

1793
02:36:26,000 --> 02:36:33,000
The summer feels overwhelmed, but the opportunity in the winter seems significant and worth investigating.

1794
02:36:33,000 --> 02:36:36,000
So I will be supporting this resolution.

1795
02:36:36,000 --> 02:36:39,000
Are there any opposed?

1796
02:36:39,000 --> 02:36:41,000
Councillor, of course, I opposed.

1797
02:36:41,000 --> 02:36:42,000
Motion carries.

1798
02:36:42,000 --> 02:36:44,000
Thank you, Mr. Pardon.

1799
02:36:44,000 --> 02:36:52,000
Our next item is the Worcester 2020 Development Court parcel level and credit line amendment agreements

1800
02:36:52,000 --> 02:36:55,000
for checkman's crossing phase two lot three report.

1801
02:36:55,000 --> 02:36:59,000
And it is presented by our chief financial officer, Carly Price.

1802
02:36:59,000 --> 02:37:00,000
His price.

1803
02:37:00,000 --> 02:37:01,000
Good evening.

1804
02:37:01,000 --> 02:37:02,000
New clicker.

1805
02:37:02,000 --> 02:37:08,000
So as mentioned, I'm here for the press level agreement for checkman's crossing phase two lot three.

1806
02:37:08,000 --> 02:37:13,000
The recommendation is on recommendations are in front on the screen in front of you.

1807
02:37:13,000 --> 02:37:17,000
And I'm just going to walk through a bit of background that underlies this report.

1808
02:37:17,000 --> 02:37:21,000
So you'll all remember that significant funding is in fact required to deliver employee has

1809
02:37:21,000 --> 02:37:23,000
initiatives.

1810
02:37:23,000 --> 02:37:25,000
WDC builds the housing.

1811
02:37:25,000 --> 02:37:28,000
WHA owns the housing.

1812
02:37:28,000 --> 02:37:36,000
When it comes to the cost external granting bodies fund some of the cost of these projects and then the builder and the owner must fund the rest.

1813
02:37:36,000 --> 02:37:45,000
The Rmw is of course the parent entity of both the WDC and the WHA and also services the financial intermediary in many of these cases.

1814
02:37:45,000 --> 02:37:49,000
Part of this is that the Rmw oversees reserve funds.

1815
02:37:49,000 --> 02:37:57,000
This makes reserve funds an essential element of the owner and builder piece of employee housing financing.

1816
02:37:57,000 --> 02:38:08,000
In May of 2025, you'll remember we established a financing framework to govern the use of checkman's crossing affordable employee housing reserve funds specifically.

1817
02:38:08,000 --> 02:38:12,000
So how did the CCAEH reserve funds become housing?

1818
02:38:12,000 --> 02:38:14,000
There's essentially three different ways.

1819
02:38:14,000 --> 02:38:22,000
In the beginning of a project, there needs to be a credit line available before the work begins to support spending on things that are intangible.

1820
02:38:22,000 --> 02:38:27,000
Things like plans, drawings and things that you cannot get external funding for.

1821
02:38:27,000 --> 02:38:33,000
This is also true when the neighborhood comes under construction and significant money is required to build the infrastructure.

1822
02:38:33,000 --> 02:38:41,000
Things like roads, sewers, pipes that will take place before any of the individual buildings in a new neighborhood.

1823
02:38:42,000 --> 02:38:49,000
And then the final piece of funding required is for the buildings themselves and this tends to come later in the project.

1824
02:38:49,000 --> 02:39:01,000
In the case of checkman's crossing phase two, there's roughly $17.3 million of checkman's crossing affordable employee housing reserve funds to support these three different types of spending.

1825
02:39:01,000 --> 02:39:06,000
When the framework was introduced, the split of these funds was as follows.

1826
02:39:06,000 --> 02:39:11,000
$6.7 million in the credit line or that sort of early spending bucket.

1827
02:39:11,000 --> 02:39:22,000
$6.5 million for neighborhood infrastructure and $4.1 million for buildings, which at the time the framework was introduced included just one building, lot five.

1828
02:39:22,000 --> 02:39:30,000
Today, we have $6.5 million still invested in neighborhood infrastructure, so no additional spending there.

1829
02:39:30,000 --> 02:39:35,000
But we now have two buildings under construction, lot five and lot three.

1830
02:39:35,000 --> 02:39:41,000
This requires roughly twice the amount of money to be set aside for specifically building purposes.

1831
02:39:41,000 --> 02:39:44,000
In this case, $9.8 million.

1832
02:39:44,000 --> 02:39:55,000
Because we're still dealing with the same $17.3 million combined bucket, that means that the value of the credit line needs to fall to $1 million to make the network.

1833
02:39:55,000 --> 02:40:01,000
And this is okay because most of that early development spending has now been completed.

1834
02:40:01,000 --> 02:40:12,000
So in summary, we already know that built into the framework is the expectation that the relative size of lending buckets will change as the work that WDC undertakes also changes.

1835
02:40:12,000 --> 02:40:20,000
The proposal before you is the first such change since the framework was introduced in May 2025, but it will not be the last.

1836
02:40:20,000 --> 02:40:24,000
It here is to the principles of the framework in this case, our key.

1837
02:40:24,000 --> 02:40:29,000
So again, we've got infrastructure spending supported by neighborhood-level agreements.

1838
02:40:29,000 --> 02:40:33,000
The buildings themselves supported by parcel-level agreements.

1839
02:40:33,000 --> 02:40:41,000
And then the credit line agreement is essentially just support early spending on the project and becomes less important later.

1840
02:40:41,000 --> 02:40:52,000
So the proposed changes to the framework agreements best reflect the work underway today and keep us within the $17.3 million boundary of the checking this crossing reserved fund itself.

1841
02:40:52,000 --> 02:40:55,000
And with that, I will take any questions.

1842
02:40:55,000 --> 02:40:58,000
Thank you very much, Councillor Murrell.

1843
02:40:58,000 --> 02:41:05,000
I'm curious about the neighborhood-level agreements.

1844
02:41:05,000 --> 02:41:12,000
When we, is there flexibility within the agreement to pay the back the money, but then receive it back?

1845
02:41:12,000 --> 02:41:21,000
You know, like is that limit something that is established in the agreement and it can be flexible like a credit line, but for that specific project?

1846
02:41:21,000 --> 02:41:27,000
No, because it's for infrastructure and once the infrastructure is the ground in the ground, you can't really take it away.

1847
02:41:27,000 --> 02:41:30,000
Sorry, I should have said project level agreement.

1848
02:41:30,000 --> 02:41:35,000
So say a lot, five is going along cash flow varies throughout the project.

1849
02:41:35,000 --> 02:41:41,000
And at some moments they may need the entire balance and other times they may not.

1850
02:41:41,000 --> 02:41:46,000
And those funds are best left with our MW to invest and earn a return for a short period.

1851
02:41:46,000 --> 02:41:50,000
Is there flexibility to allow them to pay back money and then take it back again?

1852
02:41:50,000 --> 02:42:07,000
Because this spending on a building tends to grow, so the amount of reserve funding required to support the building of a structure tends to grow as the amount invested in that structure grows, you would not typically see the amount of funding required for that building fall.

1853
02:42:07,000 --> 02:42:16,000
And in the case where it does for a month or two, the credit line also provides capacity to sort of those differences and is fully repatible.

1854
02:42:16,000 --> 02:42:21,000
But we're, I guess the credit line is being reduced to one million, so the flexibility there has been greatly reduced.

1855
02:42:21,000 --> 02:42:29,000
Yeah, I can't imagine a scenario where the amount invested in a building would fall by more than one million dollars for a month to a month.

1856
02:42:29,000 --> 02:42:31,000
And I think WC would agree with me on that.

1857
02:42:31,000 --> 02:42:41,000
So essentially once once you take the maximum value of the building loan and then you pay it back down over time and that agreement is wrapped up.

1858
02:42:41,000 --> 02:42:56,000
Yeah, the the parcel level agreement is typically repaid one time at the end of the project when things like holdbacks are released and the final payments against that construction have been made.

1859
02:42:56,000 --> 02:43:10,000
And then what will we do when these buildings we have one building completing this year another one potentially next year will that be we'll see you again and and the next cycle will begin where the credit line becomes the source of those funds.

1860
02:43:10,000 --> 02:43:18,000
Yeah, so again the credit line is meant to to support early project spending and then once a building comes into view once a new neighborhood comes into view.

1861
02:43:18,000 --> 02:43:22,000
There's a new agreement strapped to support that particular type of spending.

1862
02:43:22,000 --> 02:43:25,000
So we'll we'll just retweet the dial and.

1863
02:43:25,000 --> 02:43:28,000
Okay, so we will see you again at some point.

1864
02:43:28,000 --> 02:43:29,000
Absolutely.

1865
02:43:29,000 --> 02:43:30,000
Thank you.

1866
02:43:30,000 --> 02:43:32,000
Council Jewat.

1867
02:43:32,000 --> 02:43:37,000
Okay, this is this is kind of complex, I find.

1868
02:43:37,000 --> 02:43:47,000
So the the credit line agreements gone from six point seven million dollars to one million dollars. Yes, and that.

1869
02:43:47,000 --> 02:43:52,000
Five point seven million dollars is in the ground.

1870
02:43:52,000 --> 02:43:55,000
When you say if I were it hasn't been paid back.

1871
02:43:55,000 --> 02:44:02,000
No, because it's a credit line, it can be paid back at any time, but all of this money right now is in WC hand.

1872
02:44:02,000 --> 02:44:14,000
And so when the ownership transfers from WDC to WHA is that when WDC is made whole for these money.

1873
02:44:14,000 --> 02:44:19,000
So the ownership of the lot five lot three.

1874
02:44:19,000 --> 02:44:29,000
Yes, so that anything that's been invested in the infrastructure associated with a particular lot is due to be repaid when the lot transfers ownership.

1875
02:44:29,000 --> 02:44:35,000
Right, and that's in the neighborhood level agreement or that middle. Okay, so.

1876
02:44:35,000 --> 02:44:38,000
The lot five is going to be.

1877
02:44:38,000 --> 02:44:40,000
Tended at this summer.

1878
02:44:40,000 --> 02:44:42,000
So it will have.

1879
02:44:42,000 --> 02:44:47,000
Occupancy and it will have also the whole back.

1880
02:44:47,000 --> 02:44:50,000
Take it off at that point.

1881
02:44:50,000 --> 02:44:53,000
So now now we're talking about parcel level agreement.

1882
02:44:53,000 --> 02:44:58,000
Yeah, yes, so in the parcel level agreement becomes due when I believe it's 60 days after the.

1883
02:44:58,000 --> 02:44:59,000
Okay.

1884
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:08,800
And if we get a vacancies granted? So when all that money comes back, it's due back into the reserve. Right. So the fund checks that we get to see in the

1885
02:45:08,800 --> 02:45:24,000
gold and shovels and everything. When does that money come in? The BC housing money or what have you? So again, the BC housing money would be a separate bucket of funding that becomes available to these projects as they're being built.

1886
02:45:24,000 --> 02:45:28,000
So external granting bodies present some of the costs and we're not talking about that here.

1887
02:45:28,000 --> 02:45:34,000
What we're talking about here specifically is the builder and owner portions of the project.

1888
02:45:34,000 --> 02:45:38,000
So those monies come in concurrently while the project is getting built.

1889
02:45:38,000 --> 02:45:40,000
Correct. Okay. Thank you.

1890
02:45:40,000 --> 02:45:46,000
I don't see any other questions. Thank you very much for your presentation.

1891
02:45:46,000 --> 02:45:52,000
Can yes. Oh, perfect. Is there a mover of this resolution?

1892
02:45:52,000 --> 02:45:58,000
Move by Councillor Forsyth Second, may Councillor Stewart? Comments? Councillor Jones?

1893
02:45:58,000 --> 02:46:12,000
I think it's wonderful that we have figured out how to do this. I'm still trying to follow all the different agreements and we've had some really good coaching on this, but

1894
02:46:12,000 --> 02:46:22,000
anyway, it's great that we are able to do this and it translates into neighborhoods and places for people to live in.

1895
02:46:22,000 --> 02:46:34,000
Yeah, I was yesterday for the public. We had a great day with all of the housing operators from our community who work for the

1896
02:46:34,000 --> 02:46:58,000
Reserve Municipality of Whistler and I feel that our work is all in and extremely good place based on a lot of work like this that allows us to move much quicker than we were able to in the past.

1897
02:46:58,000 --> 02:47:18,000
So well done and I agree with Councillor Merrill. We're going to have another agreement back in front of us fairly soon on a project whenever we are considering that and it will be easier next time because we'll be gaining muscle memory on how to build housing fast, which is important.

1898
02:47:18,000 --> 02:47:36,000
I'll call the questions is there any opposed motion carries. Our next item has no presentation. It is the Emerald Dreams Conservation and you will filing for 2025. Are there any questions?

1899
02:47:36,000 --> 02:47:45,000
Seeing none move by Councillor Dijong seconded by Councillor Morton. Are there any opposed motion carries?

1900
02:47:45,000 --> 02:47:54,000
Councillor Morton and I will now declare conflict as our children both go to the Whistler Waller School. You should probably.

1901
02:47:54,000 --> 02:47:58,000
I do declare conflict because my daughter goes to the Whistler Waller School.

1902
02:48:06,000 --> 02:48:18,000
I'm doing by loss for second and second reading. Yes. So is only an important amendment by law.

1903
02:48:18,000 --> 02:48:24,000
Councillor give zoning and so this is going to be for first and second reading.

1904
02:48:24,000 --> 02:48:40,000
Can I get a motion for Councillor Forsyth and the second by Councillor Juit's any opposed Councillor Dijong is opposed motion passes.

1905
02:48:40,000 --> 02:48:44,000
And that's all I have to do here. So we'll bring back the mayor.

1906
02:48:44,000 --> 02:48:59,000
Thank you. Moving on to the public outdoor space regulation by law.

1907
02:48:59,000 --> 02:49:02,000
Look for second and third readings please.

1908
02:49:02,000 --> 02:49:08,000
Councillor Forsyth seconded by Councillor Morrell. Are there any opposed motion carries?

1909
02:49:08,000 --> 02:49:17,000
But I was for adoption of the five year financial plan moved by Councillor Ford seconded by Councillor Dijong.

1910
02:49:17,000 --> 02:49:23,000
Councillor Juit. I actually had a question on this because there was an article on the global mail. Oh, yeah. Carly left already.

1911
02:49:23,000 --> 02:49:30,000
But I'm sure that one of the sages on the other side of the room can answer this.

1912
02:49:30,000 --> 02:49:43,000
Calgary has had to catastrophic water main failures. And in this article, it talked about how across the country there's a lot of very old water systems.

1913
02:49:43,000 --> 02:49:54,000
And I know that we have a very diligent infrastructure services department that is ensuring that we stay updated, which is why we looked at that live station today.

1914
02:49:54,000 --> 02:50:03,000
But the rule of thumb is one to two percent of the total value of a water system is put aside per year.

1915
02:50:03,000 --> 02:50:18,000
Do we know approximately if we're in that ballpark in what we're setting aside in our reserves or our projects?

1916
02:50:18,000 --> 02:50:29,000
I don't have that number off the top of my head. But we are in conversations with consultants right now about developing the water meter rates.

1917
02:50:29,000 --> 02:50:39,000
And they're asking similar related questions. So we've been looking at our detailed five year plan. We have a lot of

1918
02:50:39,000 --> 02:50:51,000
detailed cost estimates going out for the first five years of our, of our looking forward. And right now I think we're probably spending on more than that one to two percent right now.

1919
02:50:51,000 --> 02:51:07,000
But we're in a phase where we're having to do all these peach correction projects are quite expensive. So our short term five year plan right now is probably spending more than that average.

1920
02:51:07,000 --> 02:51:12,000
Thank you with a similar consultant. They actually just completed. I just saw the draft tonight for the first time.

1921
02:51:12,000 --> 02:51:26,000
So we're master plan that are also doing a water master plan for us. So probably later in 2026 we'll have a water master plan that's going to look further out in the future and make some more detailed recommendations about how much we should be putting aside. So I think we're getting there.

1922
02:51:26,000 --> 02:51:31,000
Thank you. Makes my heart happy to hear water metering.

1923
02:51:32,000 --> 02:51:44,000
Councillor for say the answer for it. All right. I'll call the question. Are there any opposed motion carries motion. Please to a point Councillor Murrell to the regional transit committee.

1924
02:51:44,000 --> 02:51:50,000
It was like as they're more than saying I like how they're doing councilor.

1925
02:51:50,000 --> 02:51:57,000
Regional transit committee that that has a really nice sound to it. Have they been meeting?

1926
02:51:57,000 --> 02:52:02,000
Yes. It has been not.

1927
02:52:02,000 --> 02:52:10,000
As regular as it might be going forward if we start to make progress but I think Councillor Murrell will keep us well updated.

1928
02:52:10,000 --> 02:52:16,000
Thanks. Councillor Murrell to drive the agenda and get those meetings having.

1929
02:52:16,000 --> 02:52:24,000
Yes. Thanks. Councillor Murrell. Mayor Councillor Clarification. It's an appointment of Councillor Murrell.

1930
02:52:24,000 --> 02:52:29,000
And you are stepping off the board or you you are also on that.

1931
02:52:29,000 --> 02:52:40,000
I think this is the first time that we've actually appointed to the board. It's been like a working committee of the board of the SLRD and we're trying to make it official at this point.

1932
02:52:40,000 --> 02:52:48,000
But if I was appointed at a previous time then the answer would be yes. I am stepping off.

1933
02:52:49,000 --> 02:52:59,000
Councillor Ford. Just for transparency we have a terms of reference that has yet to be adopted.

1934
02:52:59,000 --> 02:53:16,000
So this is the first step in having all of the members from the member municipalities formally appointed from their boards to construct this committee which has been meeting since 2018 so it's not new.

1935
02:53:17,000 --> 02:53:23,000
Yes. All right. Call the question. Are there any opposed motion carries.

1936
02:53:23,000 --> 02:53:33,000
Earlier today, Council appointed Dan Harmon as a member at large for two year term to the climate action environment select committee.

1937
02:53:33,000 --> 02:53:51,000
And then go by go by go by go to an Andrew Lloyd lord have been reappointed as members of large and Abby Miller has been reappointed as the committee youth representative for a second term congratulations to them and thank you to them for their work.

1938
02:53:51,000 --> 02:54:00,000
This motion please receive this letter from Mayor Turson regarding bill M216 moved by Councillor.

1939
02:54:00,000 --> 02:54:06,000
Forcibly second by Councillor Juit. Are there any opposed motion carries.

1940
02:54:06,000 --> 02:54:09,000
Motion please to receive and refer this letter from Mr. Smith regarding.

1941
02:54:09,000 --> 02:54:15,000
Out the lake road moved by Councillor Ford second by Councillor Morton.

1942
02:54:15,000 --> 02:54:18,000
Are there any opposed motion carries.

1943
02:54:18,000 --> 02:54:25,000
Motion to receive this letter from Mr. Moody regarding honoring our rain moved by Councillor Juit.

1944
02:54:25,000 --> 02:54:27,000
Second by Councillor Ford Councillor Juit.

1945
02:54:27,000 --> 02:54:37,000
Of course, our rain has freedom of the municipality but it would be as a community builder.

1946
02:54:37,000 --> 02:54:44,000
Really nice to do something to honor its contribution to making this place happen.

1947
02:54:45,000 --> 02:54:47,000
Councillor Ford.

1948
02:54:47,000 --> 02:54:57,000
I think we changed the policy many years ago about naming items buildings places after people.

1949
02:54:57,000 --> 02:55:10,000
So meaning no disrespect and to the letter writer thank you for the idea but it wouldn't really it wouldn't be appropriate.

1950
02:55:10,000 --> 02:55:11,000
Councillor.

1951
02:55:11,000 --> 02:55:12,000
Forcibly.

1952
02:55:12,000 --> 02:55:15,000
I know I can't let it go.

1953
02:55:15,000 --> 02:55:21,000
I understand that policy I tend to agree with it but I do agree with it.

1954
02:55:21,000 --> 02:55:33,000
Typically when it's posthumous there's no chance of it not being a park that you would want or whatever you wanted to name.

1955
02:55:33,000 --> 02:55:40,000
And when you think of Alan it was news to me and when Councillor Morton said he owned last lake like he owned all that property.

1956
02:55:40,000 --> 02:55:45,000
Can you imagine what was there would be like if that was condos right now?

1957
02:55:45,000 --> 02:55:57,000
So I think certainly a little plaque at last lake thanking all rain for a divesting himself of the most beautiful park in the world would be fun.

1958
02:55:57,000 --> 02:56:01,000
But we're not here to decide that right now.

1959
02:56:02,000 --> 02:56:04,000
Yeah I'm grateful for this suggestion.

1960
02:56:04,000 --> 02:56:14,000
He is well remembered in this community too like we I think are grateful for his contributions for sure.

1961
02:56:14,000 --> 02:56:19,000
I do have a question for across the table.

1962
02:56:19,000 --> 02:56:25,000
Some of our public buildings have the mayor and council of the day on them.

1963
02:56:25,000 --> 02:56:30,000
In fact I think every public building does with the exception of the whistle public library.

1964
02:56:30,000 --> 02:56:34,000
Is there a policy around that or was that just done as it was done?

1965
02:56:34,000 --> 02:56:49,000
So if you go to metal park it's ten doubling and Nick and my birthday at all my birthday mate Christy.

1966
02:56:49,000 --> 02:56:51,000
Yeah.

1967
02:56:51,000 --> 02:56:52,000
Do we know?

1968
02:56:52,000 --> 02:56:53,000
Is that a policy?

1969
02:56:53,000 --> 02:56:54,000
Do we know?

1970
02:56:54,000 --> 02:56:55,000
No idea.

1971
02:56:55,000 --> 02:56:56,000
That's that's fine.

1972
02:56:56,000 --> 02:56:57,000
It's late.

1973
02:56:58,000 --> 02:56:59,000
Yeah.

1974
02:56:59,000 --> 02:57:00,000
I will.

1975
02:57:00,000 --> 02:57:02,000
I have a mover in the seconder.

1976
02:57:02,000 --> 02:57:03,000
I do.

1977
02:57:03,000 --> 02:57:05,000
I will call the question of there any opposed.

1978
02:57:05,000 --> 02:57:07,000
Motion carries.

1979
02:57:07,000 --> 02:57:09,000
Moving on to the CS sky.

1980
02:57:09,000 --> 02:57:15,000
School district number 48 notification requirements for land use to your school properties.

1981
02:57:15,000 --> 02:57:18,000
Motion please hold on.

1982
02:57:18,000 --> 02:57:21,000
Did I just skip ahead?

1983
02:57:21,000 --> 02:57:22,000
No.

1984
02:57:22,000 --> 02:57:23,000
Okay.

1985
02:57:23,000 --> 02:57:25,000
I'm doing well.

1986
02:57:26,000 --> 02:57:28,000
Motion please.

1987
02:57:28,000 --> 02:57:30,000
To.

1988
02:57:30,000 --> 02:57:32,000
Receive this correspondence.

1989
02:57:32,000 --> 02:57:33,000
Go by Councillor Ford.

1990
02:57:33,000 --> 02:57:35,000
Secondary Councillor Morton.

1991
02:57:35,000 --> 02:57:36,000
Councillor do it.

1992
02:57:36,000 --> 02:57:40,000
What precipitated this is that the rezoning that we had.

1993
02:57:40,000 --> 02:57:43,000
Or is that is there some.

1994
02:57:43,000 --> 02:57:45,000
Is there some other.

1995
02:57:45,000 --> 02:57:50,000
Development near the school that we don't know about.

1996
02:57:50,000 --> 02:57:56,000
I checked in with regional CAOs and other local governments and they've received something similar.

1997
02:57:56,000 --> 02:58:01,000
I do believe it was probably on the to do list for the school district to be getting these letters out.

1998
02:58:01,000 --> 02:58:02,000
And.

1999
02:58:02,000 --> 02:58:03,000
Or unless I was getting.

2000
02:58:03,000 --> 02:58:04,000
Okay.

2001
02:58:04,000 --> 02:58:05,000
Good to receive.

2002
02:58:05,000 --> 02:58:06,000
Okay.

2003
02:58:06,000 --> 02:58:08,000
I don't think it's different by anything in particular.

2004
02:58:08,000 --> 02:58:10,000
I'll call a question there any opposed.

2005
02:58:10,000 --> 02:58:12,000
Motion carries.

2006
02:58:12,000 --> 02:58:17,000
Motion please to receive and refer this letter regarding public transportation.

2007
02:58:17,000 --> 02:58:18,000
Yeah.

2008
02:58:18,000 --> 02:58:19,000
But by Councillor Ford.

2009
02:58:19,000 --> 02:58:20,000
It's like my Councillor John.

2010
02:58:20,000 --> 02:58:21,000
Councillor June.

2011
02:58:21,000 --> 02:58:22,000
Regional transit.

2012
02:58:22,000 --> 02:58:25,000
I think that's what they're asking for.

2013
02:58:25,000 --> 02:58:26,000
So.

2014
02:58:26,000 --> 02:58:27,000
Yes.

2015
02:58:27,000 --> 02:58:28,000
That's exactly.

2016
02:58:28,000 --> 02:58:29,000
Yeah.

2017
02:58:29,000 --> 02:58:30,000
Exactly.

2018
02:58:30,000 --> 02:58:32,000
Are there any opposed?

2019
02:58:32,000 --> 02:58:34,000
Motion carries.

2020
02:58:34,000 --> 02:58:38,000
I will now declare a conflict of interest as my daughter goes to the list of water school.

2021
02:58:38,000 --> 02:58:43,000
I will now declare a conflict because my daughter goes to the water.

2022
02:58:43,000 --> 02:58:47,000
Okay.

2023
02:58:47,000 --> 02:58:49,000
Am I able to do.

2024
02:58:49,000 --> 02:58:52,000
Late correspondence as well or is he going to.

2025
02:58:52,000 --> 02:58:53,000
Come back to finish.

2026
02:58:53,000 --> 02:58:54,000
All right.

2027
02:58:54,000 --> 02:58:56,000
So I'll do this one first.

2028
02:58:56,000 --> 02:58:58,000
I would like to ask for a motion that we like council receive.

2029
02:58:58,000 --> 02:58:59,000
Of course.

2030
02:58:59,000 --> 02:59:00,000
Honour.

2031
02:59:00,000 --> 02:59:02,000
Regarding the zoning and parking amendment by law.

2032
02:59:02,000 --> 02:59:06,000
Seconded by Councillor Jewett.

2033
02:59:06,000 --> 02:59:08,000
Any opposed.

2034
02:59:08,000 --> 02:59:10,000
Motion passes.

2035
02:59:10,000 --> 02:59:13,000
And I will skip ahead to do a late correspondence.

2036
02:59:13,000 --> 02:59:17,000
So I would like to ask for motion that council received the late correspondence.

2037
02:59:17,000 --> 02:59:19,000
Regarding zoning and parking amendment by law.

2038
02:59:19,000 --> 02:59:20,000
To 5036.

2039
02:59:20,000 --> 02:59:22,000
I have Councillor Ford.

2040
02:59:22,000 --> 02:59:23,000
I have.

2041
02:59:23,000 --> 02:59:25,000
Seconded by Councillor Jewett.

2042
02:59:25,000 --> 02:59:26,000
Any opposed.

2043
02:59:26,000 --> 02:59:27,000
Motion carries.

2044
02:59:27,000 --> 02:59:28,000
Thank you.

2045
02:59:28,000 --> 02:59:29,000
I will.

2046
02:59:29,000 --> 02:59:30,000
Pass the.

2047
02:59:30,000 --> 02:59:31,000
Thank you.

2048
02:59:31,000 --> 02:59:32,000
Thank you.

2049
02:59:32,000 --> 02:59:33,000
Thank you.

2050
02:59:33,000 --> 02:59:34,000
Thank you.

2051
02:59:34,000 --> 02:59:36,000
Thank you.

2052
02:59:36,000 --> 02:59:38,000
