3 Development Services COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT TO: Chair and Board of Directors DATE: March 2, 2016 FROM: SUBJECT: Director of Development Services Consideration of an Agriculture Advisory Commission RECOMMENDATION: THAT staff prepare a bylaw to strike an Agriculture Advisory Commission for the purposes of advising on agricultural matters, as well as a shortlist of potential Board appointees interested in serving on this Commission, the appointment of whom will be at time of bylaw readings. R. SADILKOVA Director of Development Services Approved for CoTW Consideration CAO EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In August 2015, the Board of Directors reviewed the Regional Growth Strategy Monitoring Report which included indicators tracking the agricultural industry across the TNRD. At our fall 2015 Committee of the Whole, an agrologist overviewed local agriculture. He explained trends, issues, and opportunities for agriculture including, $2 billion invested in total TNRD farm capital by Following that presentation, staff were directed to: 1. investigate the formation of an Agriculture Advisory Commission (AAC); 2. prepare a draft AAC terms of reference; 3. gage agricultural industry support for an AAC; and, 4. gather the names of potential AAC appointees interested in volunteering. This report contains the information as requested. DISCUSSION: 1. Purpose of AAC The AAC would provide the Board advice on matters dealing with ranching, farming, horticulture and other agricultural matters. Items that would likely go before an AAC include: ALR applications; applications to amend Zoning and OCP bylaws that pertain to agricultural matters; Consideration of an Agriculture Advisory Commission Page 3 of 46

4 March 2, 2016 Page 2 of 3 Subject: Consideration of an Agriculture Advisory Commission major development proposals with potential to impact agriculture; potential future Agricultural Area Plans; noxious insect and weed control programmes targeting farm land; and less often, irrigation, drainage and water management issues if they impact farming. 2. Terms of Reference The attached draft AAC Terms of Reference sets out the purpose; scope of considerations; types of applications and issues that an AAC may consider; membership (5 or 7 seats) and meeting frequency (quarterly). The AAC could also initiate and make recommendations regarding the awareness and understanding of agriculture, and identify improvements and opportunities to support agriculture. 3. Agricultural Industry Support To gage the support for an AAC amongst those in the agricultural industry, we contacted organizations and individuals representing a wide range of small to large-scale operations: cattle ranching and hay production; dairy operations; other animal ranchers (sheep); vegetable farming operations; orchardists; nursery producers; the vineyards/cidery sector; meat cutters; farmer s markets; apiaries; agrologists; Community Futures; and the Kamloops Food Policy Council. We received only and overwhelmingly positive responses to this initiative from different agricultural sectors and have received a number of names from organizations and individuals offering to volunteer for the AAC. 4. Potential Board appointments for AAC To secure appointees who are knowledgeable about agriculture and would be willing to put their names forward as candidates, staff sent letters to the agricultural organizations listed above. We described the role an AAC would play in advising the Board on ALR & land use applications and the kinds of issues/opportunities that may have an impact on our local agricultural industry. In response to the 25 letters sent, Planning Services received 15 positive responses from potential appointees who were willing and keen to serve, should the Board create an AAC and select them. The draft Terms of Reference currently states that the commission would have 5 or 7 members. As we have interest from 15 volunteers for the AAC, care must be given to the composition of an AAC so that all important industry sectors are represented. Gaging the interest, we recommend to go with a 7 member AAC. The Board may also wish to have the AAC represent Consideration of an Agriculture Advisory Commission Page 4 of 46

Representatives from government agencies would serve as non-voting AAC members. Kamloops Agriculture Area Plan One of the action items arising from the Kamloops Agriculture Area Plan, is the creation of a Kamloops Agriculture Advisory Committee. City of Kamloops staff were contacted to consider the creation of a single AAC to advise both the Board and Kamloops City Council, however, City staff advise that creation of an AAC is not being pursued at this time and that the TNRD should proceed with their plans independently at least at present. CONCLUSION: The creation of an Agricultural Advisory Commission could be a valuable resource for the Board of Directors. It would provide advice on matters relating to the agricultural industry which comprises a significant and growing part of our regional economy.

6 TNRD Agricultural Advisory Committee Proposed Terms of Reference Purpose The purpose of the Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC) is to advise the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) on agricultural issues and opportunities within the region including: all applications initiated under the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) Act and all applications to amend land use bylaws that pertain to agricultural matters. Scope of Considerations The AAC may also be called to comment upon the creation of or comprehensive review of any: 1. zoning and other bylaws within or impacting the ALR or for agricultural uses; 2. official community plans within or impacting the ALR or for agricultural uses; 3. agricultural area plans; 4. farm 'edge' policies; 5. major development proposals with potential impact on agriculture; 6. irrigation, drainage and other water management issues; 7. solid waste management planning; and 8. effectiveness of noxious insect and weed control regulations and programmes. In their review of the preceding, the Committee shall be asked to comment on the following: policies and regulations already in effect; impact of the proposal on the agricultural potential of the subject property; effect of the proposal on surrounding agricultural production; effect of the proposal on intergenerational supply of agricultural land; effect of the proposal on water resources; where appropriate, possible alternatives to the proposal (e.g. other parcel configurations); and issues relating to the protection of the ALR lands specific to the given application, including the use of appropriate buffering techniques aimed at enhancing land use compatibility. The AAC may also initiate and make recommendations regarding: raising awareness of agriculture; enhancing an understanding of agriculture's role in the local and/or regional economy; addressing competition for the agricultural land base; examining legislation to identify improvements to support agriculture; improving opportunities for joint funding of drainage and irrigation works; reporting on suggested practices to avoid conflict between competing land uses and/or appropriate buffering for non-farm uses abutting agricultural land; and identifying the impact of transportation and utility corridors on agriculture.

11 Legislative Services COMMITTEE REPORT TO: Committee of the Whole DATE: February 16, 2016 FROM: SUBJECT: Director of Legislative Services Board Procedure Bylaw Amendment FOR DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION Carolyn Black Director of Legislative Services Approved for Committee Consideration CAO SUMMARY: The current Board procedure bylaw was adopted in Change in provincial legislation necessitates an amendment to the procedure bylaw (re: inaugural meeting date and reference to specific sections of the Local Government Act that are now out of date with the 2016 revision) and it is suggested that additional amendments be considered while the necessary amendments are made. BACKGROUND: The Local Government Act requires that the Board adopt a bylaw that establishes the general procedures to be following by the Board and its committees in the conduct of business. Only three provisions must be included in a procedure bylaw. Mandatory content includes establishing the manner by which resolutions may be passed and bylaws adopted, establishing the procedure for providing advance public notice of date, time and place of meetings and identifying the public notice posting place(s). The remainder is discretionary and serves to define the rules of procedure as the Board chooses. Board Procedure Bylaw Amendment Page 11 of 46

12 March 11, 2016 Page 2 of 5 Subject: Proposed Board Procedure Bylaw Amendment MANDATORY CHANGES The following two items must be included in a revised Board procedure bylaw to meet regulatory requirements. Staff does not require direction from the Committee on these items. Inaugural Meeting (Procedure Bylaw Section 4.1) Effective 2018, General Local Elections will be held throughout the Province every four years on the third Saturday of October. In anticipation of that date change, the Province instituted an earlier than anticipated change to the Local Government Act that amends the date for Regional Districts to hold their Inaugural Board meetings from the first meeting of the Board after December 1 st in each year to the first meeting of the Board after November 1 st in each year. This provision came into effect on January 1, 2016 and requires that the TNRD s procedure bylaw be amended to correspond with the legislation. This will result in the 2016 Inaugural meeting being held on November 10 th instead of December 15 th. Housekeeping On January 1, 2016, the Revised Local Government Act came into effect resulting in renumbering of the Act. The procedure bylaw includes reference to specific sections of the Act that no longer correspond. These need to be updated for currency. DISCRETIONARY CHANGES The following items are proposed by staff or by a director. Staff would appreciate direction from the Committee as to which, if any, of the following provisions it would like to see included in the revised procedure bylaw. Committee Appointments (Procedure Bylaw Section 27.6 and 27.7) The procedure bylaw currently states that committee appointments are made by the Chair at the second regular Board meeting held each year and that Board Committee appointments are to be made at the first regular meeting held each year. As the committee schedule typically Board Procedure Bylaw Amendment Page 12 of 46

13 March 11, 2016 Page 3 of 5 Subject: Proposed Board Procedure Bylaw Amendment includes at least one committee meeting in February, it is recommended that these provisions be changed to state that appointments will be made at a Board meeting in January each year. Regular Meetings (Procedure Bylaw Section 6.3) The Board meeting schedule for each year is set by resolution before December 31 st of the preceding year and allows for the Chair to cancel or postpone a meeting at his/her discretion. Notification of cancelled or postponed meetings is accomplished by providing notice to the Corporate Officer who would then Board members and post a notice on the public notice board (at least 48 hours notice is required). If the meeting location is to be changed for any reason or the meeting is to take place at time/date earlier than scheduled, the procedure bylaw states that a Board resolution is required. These two provisions are inconsistent with each other and it is recommended that the notification process for changing the meeting location or preponing a meeting be the same as for cancelling or postponing. Electronic Participation Over the last year, requests have been received to allow for some members to participate in local service committee meetings and service committee meetings by telephone (electronic means). The Local Government Act Regional District Electronic Meetings Regulation 271/2005 allows for participation in a meeting by electronic or other communication facilities means only if authorized in the procedure bylaw. At present, there is no provision for participation by telephone or any other electronic means (such as Skype) at any meeting. Unless there is objection, revised Thompson Headwaters Committee, Wells Gray Service Committee and the Invasive Plant Committee bylaws will be presented to the Board for consideration at a future meeting. This committee may wish to discuss parameters for participation by electronic means which could include such things as: Which meetings electronic participation would be permitted (special meetings, local service committees, service committees, etc) Number of times in a year that a member could participate electronically Board Procedure Bylaw Amendment Page 13 of 46

14 March 11, 2016 Page 4 of 5 Subject: Proposed Board Procedure Bylaw Amendment Reasons for electronic participation (illness/injury, inclement weather) How many members may participate by phone at a time Requirement to provide paper copies of the bylaws prior to first reading (Section 29.1) As we attempt to move towards electronic agendas and away from paper copies, it is recommended that this provision be deleted from the procedure bylaw. Order of Proceedings and Business (Section 14) The following are being proposed for inclusion in the Order of Business list: Call to Order at the beginning of each meeting (to clearly define when the meeting has started). This would be the first order of business for both Board and committee meetings. Question period for the media and public relating to agenda items or other business conducted at the Board meeting (this was a discussion item suggested by Director Rothenburger in 2015). This item would be included after Reports and/or Inquiries and before Closed Meetings & Adjournment. DISCUSSION: The only changes that are required for the Board procedure bylaw are those relating to the date of the Inaugural meeting each year and updating the references to specific sections of the Local Government Act. Identifying January as the time that committee appointments are made would allow adequate time for Board members to make their requests and the Chair to consider appointments in advance of the first committee meetings of the year. For the sake of consistency, it is recommended that the procedure for amending the date, time or location of a meeting be by posting notice at least 48 hours in advance (whether it be cancelled, postponed, preponed or moved) and eliminating the requirement for a Board resolution in some instances and not in others. Board Procedure Bylaw Amendment Page 14 of 46

15 March 11, 2016 Page 5 of 5 Subject: Proposed Board Procedure Bylaw Amendment It is timely to consider which, if any, meetings should allow for participation by electronic means and to identify those in the procedure bylaw. If electronic participation is permitted, the meeting place must enable all participants (including the public) to hear and/or to watch. ALIGNMENT TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN: Focus on excellence in governance and management. PUBLIC CONSULTATION: Legislative Requirements to Consult: There is no requirement for public consultation but a Board must establish general procedures to be followed by the board and its committees and amendment may only take place after notice of the proposed amendment is mailed to each director at least 5 days before the meeting that the amendment is to be introduced. COMMUNICATION: The recommendation of the Committee will be provided to the Board at a future meeting.

IHA will be sending Ms. Jennifer May-Hadford, an epidemiologist, Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi MD, a Medical Health Officer, from their Kelowna offices to attend the March Committee of the Whole to speak to the matters raised in the monitoring report, answer your questions, and help interpret the data.
