46 [i!)~~ CANADIAN anion OF POBUC EMPLOYEES BRl11SH COLUMBIA DMSION Canada Way, Burnaby, British Columbia V5G 4T3 Tel: Fax: January 24,2012 Chair & Board Regional District of Thompson-Nicola # Victoria Street Kamloops BC V2C 2A9 Dear Chair & Board: There. is no question that the rebuilding of infrastructure in Canada's municipalities is one of our most pressing issues. For that reason, as the Federation of Canadian Municipalities has said, All governments - federal, provincial, territorial and municipal - must work together and with the private sector to make immediate infrastructure repairs to protect public health and safety. They must act now to establish a fully funded, long-term plan to build roads, water systems, community facilities and transportation systems Canada needs to support businesses and families, enrich our quality of life and maintain competitiveness in international markets. The Federal government has said it wants to work with municipalities and provinces to develop a long-term infrastructure plan. The Cana.dian Union of Public employees believe it is critical that municipalities playa role in designing such a program. It is also critical that the federal government be discouraged from imposing a unilateral program that forces municipalities to privatize operation of their,fficilities and which is subject to change at the government's whim. This is exactly the s.ituatiq'~i'taunicipalities face today. Two prominent recent examples of this p"roblem happened in Abbotsford and in Calgary. In both of those communities Councils sought funding from the federal PPP (Public Private-' Partnership) Canada fund for community projects. They sought the funding not because the community supported it or because they were enthusiasts for PPPs or as they are also called, P3s - they sought it because there was no other source of federal infrastructure funding. Funds for other infrastructure programs developed during the recession had been depleted and not replaced. "That money's all spent," Abbotsford Conservative MP Ed Fast told the Abbotsford Times. Neither Abbotsford nor Calgary will receive federal funding. In Abbotsford the community voted by a 75% margin not to hand their water system over to a private company in a P3. In Calgary the community spent $3 million on a P3 proposal for recreation centers only to have the federal government change its policies at the last minute to deny funding for such centres. Surely, given these results, this is no way to run an infrastructure program. Regardless of what people think of P3s, municipalities must be given other options. On September 6 th, 201 t the District of Mission, which had been involved in early discussion of a possible Abbotsford water P3, passed the following resolution: CUPE BC dated January 24, 2012 Re: Request for Resolutions Barry O'Neill, President Mark Hancock, Secretary-Treasurer Page 46 of 98.../2

47 January 24, 2012 Letter to BC Municipalities re: infrastructure and CETA Page 2 RESOLVED: That Council write to the federal government requesting that funding be made available for non-p3 water infrastructure projects to the same degree as P3 infrastructure projects, and further that a copy be given to Mission's Member of Parliament and Members of the Legislative Assembly." We believe this resolution was an important development. We hope other municipalities will considersimilarresolutions that go even further by requesting alternatives to P3 funding for all infrastructure projects, not just water projects. If you are interested, we have attached a possible draft resolution which expands on the Mission resolution. Another federal initiative that will limit the autonomy of local governments is t~e proposed Canada European Union Trade Agreement (CETA). The EU is insisting on full access to procurement from local governments. The Province, which has jurisdiction over local governments, has not indicated just what it will be giving up in the trade deal, including local government powers. It is time for BC to share the details of its "offer" to the EU. Such an action would be one more power seized from local governments without their consent in British Columbia. Some local governments have passed resolutions on CETArelating to water. Again, if you agree we believe it is important to go further and a possible resolution is also attached. The Community Charter says that local governments are a full order of government within their own jurisdictions. Actions such as only making infrastructure funding available as P3s and the giving up of powers through the signing of CETA will continue to erode these powers. We hope that you will agree that the role of local governments for our communities is too important to have these powers eroded. We hope ybu will consider these resolutions.

48 Possible Resolution on the Proposed Canada European Union Trade Agreement (CET A) WHEREAS the Canadian government is close to concluding negotiations with the European Union (EU) on a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), with participation from the provinces and territories; and WHEREAS the EU is insisting on full access to procurement by local governments which could significantly reduce the ability of local governments to hire or source locally or use public spending as a tool for economic development, environmental protection and support for local famers and small businesses; and WHEREAS government procurement rules combined with investment protections related to transit, water, electricity and other public services delivered locally may lock in privatization and make it prohibitively expensive to apply new regulations, to remunicipalize services, or create new municipal programs; and WHEREAS local governments in British Columbia already have open and fair procurement policies; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council: Request the BC government to issue a clear, permanent exemption for BC local governments from the Canada-EU CET A agreement, and that it otherwise protect the powers of local governments; and Request the BC government to disclose what it i$ putting on the table regarding procurement, services and investment as part of CET A discussions, explain the impacts CET A would have on municipal governance, and give local governments the freedom to decide whether or not they will be bound by the agreement. Send this resolution to the Union of BC Municipalities, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, and to local Members of Parliament and Members of the Legi$lative Assembly with a request that this policy be adopted.

49 Possible resolution on alternatives to Federal funding of infrastructure through Public Private Partnerships WHEREAS the Federal Government has indicated it wishes to enter into discussions on a new national infrastructure program, and WHEREAS currently there is no federal infrastructure money available to local governments other than through public private partnerships (P3s), and WHEREAS local governments should have choices as to the structure of the development of infrastructure projects and not be limited to public private partnerships, THEREFOR BE IT RESOLVED that council write to the Federal Government requesting that the federal government not limit its infrastructure funding for local governments to public private partnerships and asking that, in all cases for infrastructure projects, that local governments be given a choice of funding arrangements that does not involve a public private partnership; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution be sent to the Union of BC Municipalities and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities for consideration at their next convention as policy for those bodies, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be distributed to local Members of Parliament and Members of the Legislative Assembly.

50 MEMBER RELEASE February 8, 2012 TO: FROM: RE: Mayor and Council I Chair and Board I Senior Staff Union of BC Municipalities Secretariat Auditor General for Local Government - Audit Council appointments The Province has advised UBCM that it has begun a process towards appointment of members to the audit council under the proposed Auditor General for Local Government Act. The provincial government is actively seeking candidates for the appointments because it anticipates that the proposed act, which is currently at First Reading in the Legislative Assembly, will come into force during the spring 2012 legislative session. The audit council has a number of responsibilities under the proposed act, primarily relating to accountability of the auditor general. For example, the audit council reviews and monitors the performance of the auditor general, and comments on the annual service plan. In addition, the audit council makes recommendations for appointment, suspension and removal of the auditor general. In order to preserve the independence of the auditor general, the audit council is not involved in decisions related to specific local government performance audits. Cabinet will make appointments to the audit council on the recommendation of the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. The audit council consists of at least 5 members, with appointment terms of up to three years. The proposed act requires that appointees be qualified in one or more of: accounting; auditing; local, regional or provincial governance; or a subject area set out in the regulations. In addition to these, the Province has established preferred competencies, including competencies in relation to managerial consulting, human resources, legal expertise and previous leadership experience. The appointment process will be managed through the Province's Board Resourcing and Development Office (BROO), which is responsible for ensuring such things as merit based appointments, and open, transparent appointment processes for Provincial appointments to the boards of over 300 public agencies. BROO's guidelines for appointments to governing boards and other public sector organizations state that, barring exceptional circumstances or legislative provisions to the contrary, elected officials and public servants are not normally appointed. Given this, audit council appointments may be better suited to former local government elected officials and staff rather than those currently serving their communities. If you are interested in being considered, please apply directly to the BROO, through their website at The notice of position, including a link to an online application and further information about the audit council's roles and responsibilities and appointee competencies, is available at: 26& job I d= &page=search Bof])...~~ Iv~I ~ f.\oenda- A Q::(\O UBCM - Member Release dated February 8, 2012 m.ca Page 50 of 98 Re: Auditor General for Local Government - Audit Council

63 ~./) Interior HeaI th January 16, 2012 IH Local Governments and First Nations Bands Re: Mosquito Larviciding Activities for West Nile Virus Risk Reduction Spring- Summer 2012 At a recent fall 2011 provincial Communicable Disease Policy committee meeting chaired by the Provincial Health Officer, it was decided that the accumulated epidemiologic evidence in BC indicates that routine annual pre-emptive mosquito larviciding each spring and summer is no longer warranted as a precautionary risk reduction measure against human West Nile virus (WNv) infection and outbreaks. The Ministry of Health has accepted the recommendation of the CD Policy committee. As such, we are informed that there will not be any funds distributed by the Ministry of Health via UBCM to local governments during spring/summer fiscal for pre-emptive larviciding and other WNv mitigation activities. On behalf of the IH Medical Health Officers, I am writing to you as we thought it important for local governments in the Interior Health region to be aware of these changes, in their planning for summer In the event that ongoing Interior Health WNv surveillance indicates during any given future summer that there may be an increased risk of a local human WNv outbreak, then there is residual UBCM WNv funding available for local governments to conduct 'contingency' larviciding at short notice, as determined by the local Medical Health Officer. A recent BC Centre for Disease Control review, that included summer 2011 findings, found that "given the data... collected over the past eight years in BC, we conclude it is unlikely that WNv levels in BC will ever reach those seen in areas of Canada or the US that have experienced large, protracted outbreaks (e.g. Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Idaho)". From a local Medical Health Officer's perspective, even in the Interior Health region and the Okanagan valley which had first introduction of WNv in BC in the summer of 2009, the past three summers have not given evidence of substantial increased virus prevalence or any substantially increased human risk. The only mosquito testing found positive was the summer of 2009, in a minority of samples only from the Osoyoos area. There were three dead crows from Kelowna area test positive for WNv in summer /2 Bus: (250) Fax: (250) robert.parker@interiorhealth.ca Web: interiorhealth.ca Interior Health dated January 16, 2012 Re: Mosquito Larviciding Activities for West Nile Virus INTERIOR HEALTH Medical Health Officer 1340 EllisStreet, Kelowna, BC V IY 9N I BolD Agenda- Page 63 of 98

64 IH Local Governments and First Nations Bands January 16, 2012 There have only been three IH human WNv cases from local infection, two cases in 2009 and one case in There were no mosquito WNv detections nor any human cases in summer While areas of IH such as the south and central Okanagan may well remain endemic for WNv with low virus prevalence in mosquitoes and occasional human cases occurring each summer, the possibility of a more substantial human outbreak seems unlikely based on current evidence. Interior Health, in conjunction with BCCDC, will continue to carry out monitoring each summer of environmental conditions, mosquito testing and human and animal WNv case surveillance. Should the situation change and the risk of a human WNv outbreak seem elevated in any given summer in a particular locale in IH; a larviciding program can be implemented early on and at short notice, as discussed above. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns regarding the above.

66 The Resolutions Committee thanks all delegates who provided feedback on the 2011 resolutions sessions. The Committee considered all delegate feedback at its February 2,2012 meeting and will take these comments and suggestions into account when preparing for the 2012 Convention. Thank you, on behalf of the Resolutions Committee and the UBCM Executive, for taking the time to review these materials in preparation for the 2012 UBCM Convention. I look forward to seeing you all in September, and I encourage you to contact our staff in the meantime if you have any questions about the UBCM resolutions process.

67 4. Organisation of Resolutions Resolutions are organised into three sections. The Resolutions Committee guidelines to place each resolution in the appropriate section: uses the following SECTION A resolutions address priority issues with broad relevance for all UBCM members. SECTION B is divided into three parts: Part 1: Resolutions Supporting Existing Policy These resolutions include: previously considered and endorsed resolutions; resolutions in keeping with the UBCM policy; or other major previously approved policy papers/documents. Part 2: Resolutions Proposing New Policy [within local government jurisdiction] These resolutions include: resolutions on topics not previously considered; resolutions considered previously but not endorsed; topics of local or regional significance; or topics of national significance and recommended for consideration by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). Part 3: Resolutions Proposing New Policy [outside local government jurisdiction] These resolutions include: resolutions on topics not previously considered; or resolutions considered previously but not endorsed. For each of Part 2 and Part 3, resolutions will be grouped as follows: (a) resolutions recommended to be endorsed or endorsed with proposed amendment (sorted by subject); followed by (b) all other resolutions (sorted by subject). SECTION C contains resolutions that have been consolidated three parts: or referred. This section also has Part 1: Resolutions pertaining to a specific topic and incorporated report, or special session at Convention. into a policy paper, Part 2: Resolutions that are grouped together and referred to a single resolution in Section A or B of the Resolutions Book. Part 3: Resolutions regional in nature and thus referred to Area Associations Resolutions Process - page 5 of 11 ubcm.ca Page 67 of 98 UBCM dated February 3, 2012 Re: 2012 Resolution Process

68 d. Once the sponsor has spoken to a resolution, if no voting delegate wishes to speak in opposition or propose an amendment, then the question will be called. This is intended to minimize the time spent debating a resolution that the plenary already seemsto support. e. To assist the Chair in determining whether delegates wish to speak in favour of or in opposition to a resolution, two microphones will be placed at each microphone station on the Convention floor. The microphones will be labelled "PRO" and "CON". The Pro mic is for delegates speaking in favour, and the Con mic is for delegates speaking in opposition to the resolution. Those wishing to propose amendments should approach the Con mic. f. The electronic voting system will be deployed for close votes or at the discretion of the Chair. g. Should Convention conclude before all resolutions have been considered, resolutions that have not been debated will be referred automatically to the UBCM Executive for consideration at their next meeting. A recommendation for each resolution is printed in the Resolutions Book, and the Executive will base their decisions on these recommendations. The Executive decision on each of these resolutions will be conveyed to resolution sponsors and the UBCM membership. 7. Other Matters Affecting Handling of Resolutions The Resolutions Committee has indicated that it will: adhere strictly to the Guidelines on Preparing Resolutions for UBCM (Attachment B) and will make every effort to ensure that resolutions are clear and concise; and endeavour to consider all resolutions submitted (as per guidelines) during the time allocated at the 2012 Convention. Sponsorsshould be prepared to speak to their resolutions on the Convention floor, because the resolutions will not be read aloud to the delegates. Resolutions should addresstopics that are of local government concern province-wide. Members should be aware that the above policies are not exhaustive but are in addition to the UBCM Bylaws and to the "Conference Rules & Procedures for Handling of Resolutions" that are adopted each year by the Convention Resolutions Process - page 7 of 11 ubcm.ca Page 68 of 98 UBCM dated February 3, 2012 Re: 2012 Resolution Process

69 (c) Provide factual background information. Even a carefully written resolution may not be able to convey the full scope of the problem or the action being requested. Provide factual background information to ensure that the resolution is understood fully. Submit background information in one of the following two formats: I. Supplementary Memo A brief, one-page memo from the sponsor local government, which outlines the background that led to the adoption of the resolution by the councilor board. ii. Council/Board Report A report on the subject matter, presented to councilor board in conjunction with the resolution. If it is not possible to send the entire report, then extract the essential information and submit it with the resolution. Resolutions submitted without background information will not be considered until the sponsor has provided adequate background information. (d) Construct a brief, descriptive title. A title identifies the intent of the resolution and is usually drawn from the nenactment clausen. For ease of printing in the Resolutions Book and for clarity, the title should be no more than three or four words. (e) Check legislative references for accuracy. Where necessary, identify: the correct jurisdictional responsibility (the responsible ministry or department, at the provincial or federal level) the correct legislation, including the title of the act or regulation (f) Focus on issues that are province-wide. The issue identified in the resolution should be relevant to other local governments across the province. This will support productive debate and assist UBCM to represent your concern effectively to the provincial or federal government on behalf of all BC municipalities and regional districts Resolutions Process - page 9 of 11 ubcm.ca Page 69 of 98 UBCM dated February 3, 2012 Re: 2012 Resolution Process

70 Attachment D Gold Star Resolutions Criteria 1) Resolution must be properly titled. 2) Resolution must employ clear, simple language. 3) Resolution must clearly identify problem, reason and solution. 4) Resolution must have two or fewer "WHEREAS" clauses. 5) Resolution must have a short, clear, stand-alone enactment ("THEREFORE") clause. 6) Resolution must focus on a single subject, must be of local government concern provincewide and must address an issue that constitutes new policy for UBCM. 7) Resolution must include appropriate references to policy, legislation and regulation. 8) Resolution must be submitted to relevant Area Association prior to UBCM.

Dear TNRD Directors I have just been notified that my recent request to be reappointed to the TNRD SWMP MAC has been denied. This decision would have been fair if it had been based on the simple fact that I have been a member of this committee for several years and that therefore it would not be a bad idea to give someone else a chance to serve on the committee. I am told, however, that the decision has been based on two unrelated factors: first that I have been an outspoken critic of the Cache Creek landfill and, second, that I have on a number of occasions used my position as member of the PMAC as a platform for expressing my views. If I have been critical of the Cache Creek facility-and I have-i have been so for good reasons. The facility, after all, is built on such a primitive design, and is located on such a questionable setting, that it poses serious risks to the environment and to residents near and far. (Please refer to the attachment for a partial list of concrete problems related to the facility.) Should I not be part of this committee because I am critical of the Cache Creek facility? In other word, should only people who hold unbiased views on the facility be members of the TNRD committees whose primary focus is environmental issues? If so, and out of fairness, the Board should also consider removing from its committees anyone who is a strong advocate of the Cache Creek facility. For that matter, advocate Board members themselves, like Mr. Ranta, should have the decency to step aside when issues related to the Landfill come before the Board. As for my having used my position as PMAC member as a "platform" for the expression of my views, let me say simply that in none of my letters have I ever written on behalf ofthe committee. I have signed myself as a member ofthat committee, that's true; but that was simply because I happened to be a member ofthat committee. Let me say something more: that the committee I was a member of-and apparently am no more-happens to be called "Monitoring Advisory Committee./I I would therefore have been an unworthy member ofthat committee if, on seeing something that deserved criticism, I did not "advise/l the affected community about the problems that I saw. from Ermes Culos dated February 3, Re: TNRD Solid Waste Management Plan BofD' Atj~q-V~ 1.~f.;;JOI~.., IU~ Page 71 of 98

PETER HUGHES Director of Environmental Services Approved for Board Consideration CAD BACKGROUND: The B-train lid-over structures at the Logan Lake and Lytton eco-depots are in need of repair and upgrading to replace hydraulic components and replace the cantilevered weight system, lidover sheeting and some of the damaged or corroded structural components. The upgrades will allow the lid-over structure to open to a wider angle (close to ninety degrees) compared to the previous opening angle of about forty-five degrees. This will allow much easier unloading by commercial and municipal hauling vehicles into the B-train trailers. A similar upgrade was done at the Clinton eco-depot in 2004, following a fire that damaged much of the structure. This project was originally tendered In August, 2011, with a tender closure date of August 12, Two tenders were received at that time, one from A&T Project Developments Inc and the B-Train Trailer Lid-over Structural Upgrading at the Logan Lake and Lytton Eco-Depots Page 77 of 98

78 February 6,2012 Page 2 of 2 Subject: B-Train Trailer Lid-over Structural Upgrading at the Logan Lake and Lytton Eco- Depots other from Skeena River Steellnc (SRS). Only the A&T tender qualified because the SRS tender had a calculation error in that only one of the two sites had been included in the tender. The SRS tender was disqualified and the tender cancelled because the only remaining qualifying bid from A& T was well over the allocated budget for this project of $130,000. The project tender was re-issued in January, 2012 with some additional housekeeping items added such as replacement of spill pans and a new steel protective cover over the lid-over support mechanism. These items were relatively minor, so the estimated budget for the project was left at $130,000. A single, qualifying tender was received in response to the January tender call that closed on January 31,2012. The tender was received from Bryco Projects Inc from Vancouver for a total cost of $126,360.00, within the anticipated budget set for the project. Bryco has considerable experience in structural steel work and have the necessary experience and expertise to complete the work. This work is eligible for funding under the $9.4 million Building Canada Fund Communities Component grant that the TNRD received from the Federal and Provincial governments. CONCLUSION: The tender received from Bryco Project Inc should be accepted and a contract with Bryco Project Inc for a total cost of $126, be approved.

79 Environmental Services BOARD REPORT TO: Chair and Board of Directors DATE: February 2,2012 FROM: Director of Environmental Services SUBJECT: Logan Lake Transfer Station Tenure Offer Acceptance RECOMMENDA TION(S): That the Board of Directors acquire a Licence of Occupation for a term of 30 years from the Province over unsurveyed Crown land in the vicinity of Section 30, Township 17, Range 21, West of the Sixth Meridian, Kamloops Division of Yale District, containing 3.55 hectares, more or less, for the purposes of a waste transfer station and eco-depot. PETER HUGHES, P.ENG Director of Environmental Services Approved for Board Consideration CAO BACKGROUND: The Thompson-Nicola Regional District applied for Crown land tenure in the spring of 2011 to expand the Logan Lake Eco-Depot site. A Board resolution was required as part of that application. The TNRD has now received a tenure offer from the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) for the expanded site. One condition of the offer is that the Board pass a resolution agreeing to acquire the land from the Province for a term of 30 years. A previous Board resolution authorized staff to make the application. This requirement is a recent change to the application procedure we were not aware of when the first resolution was passed on December 2,2010.

80 February 2, 2012 Page 2 of 2 Subject: Board Resolution Report Required for Logan Lake Transfer Station Acceptance of Tenure Offer DISCUSSION: The current Logan Lake transfer station is located at 6021 Highland Valley Road four kilometers west of Logan Lake on Highway 97C. The current License of Occupation No for the Logan Lake transfer station does not accurately map the location of the transfer station site. This has been a common occurrence as the precision of GPS (Global Positioning System) and GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping have improved. The TNRD has now accurately mapped the location of the existing site to update License of Occupation No A new Crown Land application for Section 30, Township 17, Range 21, West of the sixth meridian, Kamloops Division of Yale District, containing 1.92 hectares more or less was completed in order to expand the current site to accommodate required site upgrades including an on-site composting area to meet residential yard waste needs. In addition, the 1.92 hectares applied for will ensure that the updated mapping for the License of Occupation will be correct. The TNRD has received a tenure offer from the Province to replace the existing Licence No with a new Licence of Occupation that expands the site boundaries for Eco-Depot operations (Map 1 - Legal Description Schedule). CONCLUSION: TNRD Board of Directors agrees to acquire the new Licence of Occupation for a term of 30 years from the Province containing 3.55 hectares for Eco-Depot operations. Attachment's) Figure 1.

94 Infrastructure Canada - Canada's Gas Tax Fund Provides Boost to BC Communities Page 1 of2 Infrastructure Canada Canada's Gas Tax Fund Provides Boost to BC Communities Backgrounder Victoria, British Columbia, January 26, Over $3.7 million from Canada's Gas Tax Fund will be provided to 22 communities throughout British Columbia to support long-term infrastructure planning. "Our Government is proud to deliver permanent annual infrastructure funding for municipalities through Canada's Gas Tax Fund," said the Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. "Investing in local infrastructure creates local jobs and economic growth, and the Gas Tax Fund delivers stable, predictable funding that provides communities with flexibility to choose their own infrastructure priorities. By providing greater certainty for long-term planning and local infrastructure renewal, the Gas Tax Fund is helping to strengthen communities across British Columbia and lay the foundation for a bright and prosperous future in Canada." The projects supported through this funding will address a broad range of strategic priorities, including growth management, community energy planning, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. "Local governments across B.C. have a strong foundation in planning, and this component of the Gas Tax Fund provides the opportunity to advance sustainability as it pertains to environmental, cultural, social and economic dimensions," said Ida Chong, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. Canada's Gas Tax Fund provides stable, long-term funding to local governments and other organizations to help them build and revitalize public infrastructure. This Infrastructure Canada program primarily supports capital projects such as local roads, public transit, energy systems and waste management infrastructure that lead to cleaner air, cleaner water or reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) administers the Gas Tax Fund in British Columbia in collaboration with Canada and British Columbia. On December 15, 2011, the Government of Canada passed legislation to make the Gas Tax Fund a permanent annual investment of $2 billion. "There have been significant advancements to sustainable planning practices in recent years," said Heath Slee, President of UBCM. "The Gas Tax Fund is helping communities to take advantage of these improved tools as they design the communities in which we live." A list of recipient communities and funding amounts is provided in the attached backgrounder.

The Board has asked that prior to first reading, a Recreation Resort Special Study Area be identified in the OCP for a proposed future 'Kelowna Mountain' development. The OCP will be used to guide land use decisions and applications in the area, which isn't currently covered by an Official Community Plan and as a result is not subject to Development Permit requirements which protect important environmental values and areas.

Among the major changes: the Central Okanagan East Advisory Planning Commission will be eliminated. Staff will present a report to the Board at a future meeting on the membership options for the Environmental Advisory Commission. The requirement for a Central Okanagan Dog Advisory Committee will be considered during the overall review of the Dog Control Service. Several other inactive Board committees have also been discontinued. The Central Okanagan West Advisory Planning Commission will remain active. New Purchasing Policy Adopted The Regional Board has adopted a new Purchasing Policy for the Regional District. The policy is consistent with those in other local governments and international standards and further improves the internal efficiency and clarity of the purchasing process for prospective suppliers. SILGA Resolution The Regional Board has agreed to co-sponsor a resolution with the Regional District of North Okanagan to the Southern Interior Local Government Association annual conference.
