8 Section E 1.1 To: From: Regional Parks Committee David Leavers, Division Manager, Visitor and Operations Services, Regional Parks Date: January 10, 2018 Meeting Date: February 14, 2018 Subject: Regional Parks Financial Plan - Rental House Program RECOMMENDATION That the MVRD Board receive for information the report dated January 10, 2018, titled Regional Parks Financial Plan - Rental House Program. PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to provide additional information on the additional $190,000 budget allocation in the Regional Parks Financial Plan to support the Regional Parks Rental House Program. BACKGROUND At its October 11, 2017 meeting, the Regional Parks Committee requested that staff report back to the Regional Parks Committee and the Housing Committee with more information on the rental housing program in Metro Vancouver regional parks and requested further information on the additional allocation of $190,000 to support the Housing Program in This report is being brought forward to provide additional details on the forms of housing in Metro Vancouver regional parks and the implications for managing these assets. HOUSING ASSETS IN METRO VANCOUVER REGIONAL PARKS Through the Regional Parks function, the MVRD acquires buildings, including houses, through property acquisition. When the property is not immediately required for park use, the houses are rented out. Over the last 20 years, staff from Metro Vancouver Housing Corporation (MVHC) have provided property management services for these rental houses on behalf of Regional Parks. The MVHC is a not-for-profit corporation of the Metro Vancouver Regional District and is funded primarily through subsidized and non-market tenant rents and programs paid for by MVHC tenants. The number of rental houses has fluctuated over the years due to procurement of park land and deconstruction of end-of-life houses. Currently, there are 33 houses managed by MVHC staff in the Metro Vancouver Regional Parks kept inventory (see Attachment 1). Rental House Program Expenses The Regional Parks function currently pays an internal corporate allocation of $31,900 from Regional Parks to MVHC in return for the property management services. However, the corporate allocation charge is not meeting the full costs of administering the program and is impacting resources within the MVHC that are required to support MVHC housing services. MVHC staff identified that the costs to the MVHC have exceeded the $31,900 due to:

9 Regional Parks Financial Plan - Rental House Program Regional Parks Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 14, 2018 Page 2 of 4 an increased demand within MVHC to maintain their existing housing portfolio, MVHC does not have the staff time to continue to provide property management services to Regional Parks; the remote location spread out nature of housing in regional parks require substantial MVHC staff travel time; the older nature, including heritage buildings, of the houses in regional parks require greater staff time to manage; appliances, plumbing, electrical, and other systems (including septic systems) which do not match the MVHC standards and require greater call outs of MVHC staff; Regional Parks houses are single family buildings, as opposed to the 49 MVHC multi-family complexes which MVHC staff are equipped and trained; and minor maintenance and repairs undertaken by MVHC staff in excess of expected level of minor maintenance. While MVHC does not track the actual time, it is estimated that in addition to the $31,900, the MVHC has been covering costs that would be equivalent to a 0.5 full time employee (FTE). In addition to the $31,900 corporate allocation, Regional Parks have paid for the annual scheduled maintenance of the Rental House Program; however, MVHC has been covering the costs of unscheduled minor maintenance without a charge back to Regional Parks. Rental House Program Revenues Regional Parks receives the entire rental revenue from the rental houses; however, in most years rental revenue falls short of the actual costs incurred in Regional Parks to manage the rental house program. The 2018 budget includes a provision of $90,000 for the overall management of the Rental House Program. This allocation is expected to cover the costs of property management, scheduled maintenance, and unscheduled minor maintenance for the inventory of rental houses. Demolition/Deconstruction The rental houses owned by Regional Parks are mostly older and nearing the end of their useful life. Some houses have designated heritage status in their local municipalities. Rental houses not required for future park use are not maintained as long-term assets and are deconstructed (demolished) when the house has reached its end of life. The decision to deconstruct/demolish is generally deferred until houses become vacant. Deconstruction costs have traditionally been absorbed under the Rental House Program operating budget; however, as traditional demolition has been replaced by deconstruction to separate and recycle materials, the costs have risen and are currently averaging $50,000 per deconstruction project. The 2018 budget includes a provision of $100,000 for the deconstruction of two houses per year. It is estimated that an average of two Regional Parks rental houses will require deconstruction on an annual basis for the next five years Regional Parks Annual Budget Regional Parks is assuming full responsibility for property management services for its Rental House Program in An amount of $190,000 has been approved in the 2018 budget with $90,000

10 Regional Parks Financial Plan - Rental House Program Regional Parks Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 14, 2018 Page 3 of 4 allocated for the management of the current Regional Parks rental house inventory and $100,000 for the deconstruction of two rental houses ($100,000). ALTERNATIVES This is an information report. No alternatives are presented. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications associated with this report. The 2018 to 2022 Regional Parks Financial Plan was approved by the Board in October 2017 and includes sufficient funds to manage the Rental House Program. SUMMARY / CONCLUSION In October 2017, the Regional Parks Committee and Board request staff to provide additional information on the Regional Parks Rental House Program. Regional Parks acquires buildings, including houses, through property acquisition and when the land is not immediately required for park use, the houses are rented. Metro Vancouver is transitioning the management of the Rental House Program from staff within the MVHC to Regional Parks beginning in The approved 2018 budget supports contracted property management services, maintenance and repair oversight, as well as the deconstruction/demolition of two rental houses in regional parks.

12 Section E 1.2 To: From: Regional Parks Committee Jeffrey Fitzpatrick, Division Manager, West Area, Regional Parks Robyn Worcester, Natural Resource Management Specialist, West Area, Regional Parks Date: January 18, 2018 Meeting Date: February 14, 2018 Subject: Deas Island Regional Park - Bat Monitoring RECOMMENDATION That the MVRD Board receive for information the report dated January 18, 2018 titled Deas Island Regional Park - Bat Monitoring. PURPOSE This report provides the Regional Parks Committee and the MVRD Board with an update on bat monitoring at Deas Island Regional Park. BACKGROUND The Deas Island maternity bat colony, located in the attic of Burrvilla Mansion (Attachments 1 & 2) is the largest known colony of its kind in British Columbia. This colony provides important habitat for over 2,400 Yuma bat (Yuma myotis) and little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus). Female bats arrive in May, give birth and nurse the pups through June. In July, the young bats emerge to hunt on their own and by early August, most of the bats have left to return to their wintering areas. Occasional monitoring of the bat colony from 1996 to 2015 indicated a growing population. An expanded monitoring program was initiated in 2016, in partnership with the South Coast Bat Conservation Society, to determine baseline conditions and assess population trends. The Bat Monitoring Program informs park resource management and monitors for white-nose syndrome. White-nose syndrome is a rapidly spreading disease caused by a fungus that results in high levels of mortality in bat populations. This disease has led to steep declines in eastern North American bat populations and has recently been detected in King County, Washington. DEAS ISLAND REGIONAL PARK BAT MONITORING Metro Vancouver Regional Parks staff worked with members of the South Coast Bat Conservation Society to establish an expanded Bat Monitoring Program. Trained volunteers from across British Columbia were involved with the program. Three monitoring techniques were used to generate data on colony population, species makeup, health, and change over time. The techniques, results, and next steps are outlined in this report. Colony Emergence Counts Using established Provincial protocols, 10 surveys were conducted throughout the breeding season by counting the number of bats exiting the building at dusk. These counts establish the roost population and number of pups born each year. The counts indicate the colony has an initial

13 Deas Island Regional Park - Bat Monitoring Parks Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 14, 2018 Page 2 of 3 population of 2,400 bats, which grows to approximately 2,800 when the pups first begin to hunt on their own in mid-july. Acoustic Monitoring In 2016, acoustic monitors and ultrasonic microphones were set up to study bat foraging within the park. Use levels and species are identified through acoustic recordings. Data from 2016 recorded six species using Deas Island Regional Park and the surrounding area as foraging habitat, including the Mexican free-tailed bat (Tadarida brasiliensis), a new species emerging in BC. This data indicates Deas Island Regional Park is part of a broader habitat network that supports regional bat diversity. The acoustic monitoring data was shared with the North American Bat Monitoring Program an international multiagency initiative to monitor bat health throughout the continent. Capture-Mark-Recapture Pilot Study The capture-mark-recapture technique involves capturing bats, either directly from the colony or in a mist net then measuring and tagging them, swabbing for lab testing (for DNA and fungal spores), and recording an acoustic voucher call (to aid in identifying the species) before they are released. The purpose is to investigate roost fidelity and seasonal timing of roost occupancy, with the longterm goal of assessing population trends, individual longevity, colony stability, and frequency of roost switching. It also involves the capture and handling of bats, which allows for detailed data collected for individual bats, along with the ability to test for signs of white nose syndrome. In total, 158 bats were measured and tagged with passive integrated transponder device tags. These tags each contain a unique code, which can be read by a receiving device providing a record of individual bat arrivals and departures to the roost. In future years, bat recaptures will be automatically logged by a passive integrated transponder tag reader antenna installed at the colony emergence location and or with a handheld device when the bats are recaptured. Most of the bats tagged were female (89.2 percent), juveniles or sub-adults (57.6 percent). Based on capture data, the ratio of species in this colony appears to be 8:2 Yuma myotis to Myotis lucifugus. None of the captured bats was found to have white-nose syndrome exposure. Several samples of dead bats collected from the attic floor and guano samples tested negative for white nose syndrome. ALTERNATIVES This is an information report. No alternatives are presented. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The bat monitoring program was done in partnership with the South Coast Bat Conservation Society. Metro Vancouver contributed $5,000 towards equipment, supplies and logistics. SUMMARY / CONCLUSION The 2017 Bat Monitoring Program at Deas Island Regional Park provided baseline information that will be used to assess bat colony population trends and inform resource management. No evidence of white-nose syndrome was found in the colony. The program forged new partnerships with the South Coast Bat Conservation Society, University of British Columbia and Provincial experts. The project also engaged 28 people in 340 hours of citizen science volunteer work at the park.

14 Deas Island Regional Park - Bat Monitoring Parks Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 14, 2018 Page 3 of 3 Monitoring will continue in Park staff are also exploring opportunities to support and enhance bat habitat through the creation of new ponds and habitat areas to support bat feeding. The bat colony is highlighted with interpretive displays and programs at the annual Starry Night event. Permanent interpretive signage is also being considered for the site.

20 Section G 1.1 To: From: MVRD Board Chris Plagnol, Corporate Officer Date: February 19, 2018 Meeting Date: February 23, 2018 Subject: Regional Parks Service Amendment Bylaw No RECOMMENDATION That the MVRD Board: a) give first, second and third reading to Metro Vancouver Regional District Regional Parks Service Amending Bylaw No. 1260, 2018; and b) direct staff to seek consent of at least 2/3 of the participants to amend the service area to remove Abbotsford as a participant in the regional park function, and following that, forward the Metro Vancouver Regional District Regional Parks Service Amending Bylaw No. 1260, 2018 to the Inspector of Municipalities for approval. PURPOSE To consider first, second and third reading of the Metro Vancouver Regional District Regional Parks Service Amending Bylaw No. 1260, 2018 that will initiate the withdrawal of the City of Abbotsford as a participant in the regional parks function, and to direct staff to seek consent of at least 2/3 of the participants in the regional parks function in relation to the withdrawal of the City of Abbotsford as a participant. BACKGROUND On January 26, 2018, the MVRD Board furthered the withdrawal of the City of Abbotsford as a participant in the MVRD Regional Parks Service by giving second and third reading to the Metro Vancouver Regional District Regional Parks Service Amending Bylaw No. 1255, 2017, and by directing staff to seek consent of the participants for the Amending Bylaw. This Amending Bylaw had been previously provided to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for its preliminary consideration and to highlight any areas of concern given the complexity of the matter. On February 15, 2018, the Ministry informed Metro Vancouver that after further investigation, the Amending Bylaw 1255 could not be approved by the Inspector of Municipalities. The Bylaw contained a reference to an Order-in-Council which the Ministry reasoned could not override the statutory requirements for operating a park outside the boundaries of the regional district. On that basis, the Inspector of Municipalities has indicated that the Amending Bylaw cannot be approved, but has recommended a new Amending Bylaw be prepared. This report brings forward a new Amending Bylaw to initiate the withdrawal of the City of Abbotsford as a participant in the regional parks function.

21 Regional Parks Service Amendment Bylaw No MVRD Board Meeting: February 23, 2018 Page 2 of 3 MVRD REGIONAL PARKS AMENDING BYLAW The adoption of a bylaw to amend the Greater Vancouver Regional District Regional Parks Service Conversion and Amendment Bylaw No. 1024, 2005 is required to facilitate the withdrawal of the City of Abbotsford from the Metro Vancouver Regional Parks function. If approved, the Amending Bylaw will amend the participants in the service area by removing the City of Abbotsford as a participant under section 2 and section 3 of Conversion Bylaw The proposed Amending Bylaw 1260 is substantially similar to the former Amending Bylaw 1255 (which will be abandoned) except it no longer contains a clause intended to continue park operations outside the boundaries of the regional district. A complete background on various elements of Abbotsford s withdrawal from the service was provided in the report dated January 26, 2018, titled Regional Parks Service Amendment Bylaw No The new Amending Bylaw is before the Board for first, second and third reading. Once third reading is given, the Amending Bylaw will be circulated to all service area participants (which includes the City of Abbotsford) to obtain their consent to the adoption of the Bylaw. Two-thirds consent of participants is required before the Amending Bylaw can be considered for adoption by the Board. Once consent is obtained, the Amending Bylaw will be forwarded to the Inspector of Municipalities for approval. ALTERNATIVES 1. That the MVRD Board: a) give first, second and third reading to Metro Vancouver Regional District Regional Parks Service Amending Bylaw No. 1260, 2018; and b) direct staff to seek consent of at least 2/3 of the participants to amend the service area to remove Abbotsford as a participant in the regional park function, and following that, forward the Metro Vancouver Regional District Regional Parks Service Amending Bylaw No. 1260, 2018 to the Inspector of Municipalities for approval. 2. That the MVRD Board receive for information the report dated February 19, 2018, titled Regional Parks Service Amendment Bylaw No and provide alternate direction. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS If the Board approves alternative one, the financial implications include an adjustment to Metro Vancouver s 2018 Annual Budget and Financial Plan (which will be brought forward in March), a reimbursement from the Fraser Valley Regional District on the City of Abbotsford s behalf for its allocated costs of participating in the MVRD regional parks function for the months from January to March 2018, and a one-time payment by Metro Vancouver to the City of Abbotsford representing the proportional return of Park Reserve Fund contributions and transitional costs. The Fraser Valley Regional District is in the process of establishing a new sub-regional parks function with the City of Abbotsford as a participant beginning in The transferred regional parks will form part of the new FVRD regional parks function.

22 Regional Parks Service Amendment Bylaw No MVRD Board Meeting: February 23, 2018 Page 2 of 3 If the Board does not approve the Amending Bylaw, the City of Abbotsford will remain as a participant in the MVRD Regional Parks function. The approval of this alternative will require a review of the terms and conditions agreed upon by Metro Vancouver and the City of Abbotsford with respect to its withdrawal from the function and the disposition of parkland. SUMMARY / CONCLUSION The MVRD Board approved the terms for the withdrawal of the City of Abbotsford as a participant in the MVRD Regional Parks Service. This change to the service area requires an amendment to the Greater Vancouver Regional District Regional Parks Service Conversion and Amendment Bylaw No. 1024, 2005 to amend service area participants. This report brings forward the associated Amending Bylaw to facilitate this service withdrawal for consideration by the Board. Staff recommend Alternative One. Attachments: 1.

25 Section G 1.2 To: From: MVRD Board of Directors Randy Wenger, Division Manager, Properties, Financial Services Chris Plagnol, Director, Board and Information Services/Corporate Officer, Legal and Legislative Services Date: February 21, 2018 Meeting Date: February 23, 2018 Subject: Metro Vancouver Regional District Disposition of Eastern Portion of Aldergrove Regional Park Bylaw No. 1261, 2018 RECOMMENDATION That the MVRD Board: a) give first, second and third reading to Metro Vancouver Regional District Disposition of Eastern Portion of Aldergrove Regional Park Bylaw No. 1261, 2018 (the Bylaw ); b) direct staff to carry out an alternative approval process to obtain elector approval for the Bylaw pursuant to section 269 of the Local Government Act; c) establish the deadline for receiving elector responses as April 6, 2018; d) establish elector response forms in the form attached to the report dated February 21, 2018 titled Metro Vancouver Regional District Disposition of Eastern Portion of Aldergrove Regional Park Bylaw No. 1261, 2018 ; e) determine that the total number of electors of the area to which the approval process applies is 1,715,196; and f) direct staff to report the results of the alternative elector approval process to the Board and if approval has been obtained, bring the Bylaw forward for adoption by the Board. PURPOSE To seek MVRD Board consideration of the first three readings of Metro Vancouver Regional District Disposition of Eastern Portion of Aldergrove Regional Park Bylaw No. 1261, 2018 to authorize the disposition of MVRD s fee simple interests in the eastern portion of Aldergrove Regional Park to the City of Abbotsford, and direction to proceed with an alternative approval process to obtain elector assent for the parkland disposition, as required by the Local Government Act. BACKGROUND Under the terms of the Agreement with the City of Abbotsford that facilitates its withdrawal from the MVRD Regional Parks function, it has been agreed that Metro Vancouver will transfer regional parkland that is within the City of Abbotsford boundaries to the City of Abbotsford, with the exception of the eastern portion of the Aldergrove Regional Park. At its meeting on January 26, 2018, the MVRD Board directed staff to proceed with an alternative elector approval process to obtain elector approval for the parkland disposition in connection with the Metro Vancouver Regional District Disposition of Parkland within the Boundaries of the City of Abbotsford Bylaw No. 1256, 2018 (Land Disposition Bylaw). Once approved, this Land Disposition Bylaw will authorize MVRD to sell and transfer certain regional park land and trails to the City of Abbotsford comprising Matsqui Regional Park, portions of land on the western and the southeast

26 Metro Vancouver Regional District Disposition of Eastern Portion of Aldergrove Regional Park Bylaw No. 1261, 2018 MVRD Board Regular Meeting Date: February 23, 2018 Page 2 of 4 flanks of Sumas Mountain Interregional Park and the eastern portion of Glen Valley Regional Park referred to as Poplar Bar and Duncan Bar and including Crescent Island. Metro Vancouver had proposed to continue to own and operate the eastern portion of Aldergrove Regional Park, which is located with City of Abbotsford s boundaries, subject to obtaining an Orderin-Council to permit MVRD ownership and operation of the regional park. The Inspector of Municipalities has now responded to Metro Vancouver (February 15, 2018) advising that the Province is not able to grant an Order-in-Council for this purpose. Metro Vancouver has discussed an alternative approach with the City of Abbotsford and it is recommended that the MVRD proceed with the disposition of the eastern portion of Aldergrove Regional Park for transfer to the City of Abbotsford, once approval of the electors has been obtained. This report outlines the process for the disposition of the eastern portion of Aldergrove Regional Park and the proposed approach for the future management of the regional park. PARKLAND TO BE TRANSFERRED The Aldergrove Regional Park straddles the border between the Township of Langley and the City of Abbotsford. The western portion (approx. 153 hectares) of the parkland is situated within the regional boundary of MVRD. The eastern portion (approx. 127 hectares) of the parkland, within the municipal boundary of Abbotsford, is proposed to be transferred to the City Abbotsford. The parkland is owned by the MVRD in fee simple. A detailed listing of the parcels is shown in Schedule A to the proposed Bylaw (Attachment 1). In order to facilitate the City of Abbotsford s withdrawal from the MVRD Regional Parks function under the provisions of the Local Government Act, staff recommends that MVRD dispose of all parkland interests within the City of Abbotsford. This includes the disposition of the eastern portion of Aldergrove Regional Park that is proposed to be transferred to the City of Abbotsford, free of any dedication to the public for the purpose of a park. Metro Vancouver will continue to own operate the western portion of the Aldergrove Regional Park. Metro Vancouver, the City of Abbotsford and the FVRD are working cooperatively to bring forward a new agreement in March that will recommend an interim arrangement between the parties with respect to the operation of the eastern portion of Aldergrove Regional Park. The proposed interim agreement is intended to provide time for the parties to work directly with the Province to seek an alternative solution which may include legislative, restructure or policy options to resolve the current limitations which exist in the Local Government Act. ELECTOR APPROVAL In order to proceed with consideration of the Bylaw, MVRD must seek approval of the electors. To do this, MVRD will initiate an alternative approval process which allows the Board to proceed with consideration of the proposed Bylaw unless at least 10% of the electors state their opposition to the Bylaw within a prescribed period. A specified number of electors, based on information provided by Elections BC, must submit a completed Elector Response Form (Attachment 2) to express their opposition to the Bylaw.

27 Metro Vancouver Regional District Disposition of Eastern Portion of Aldergrove Regional Park Bylaw No. 1261, 2018 MVRD Board Regular Meeting Date: February 23, 2018 Page 3 of 4 If approval of electors is obtained, as described above, the proposed Bylaw will be brought forward to the Board for final adoption. Staff will then have the authority to complete the necessary paperwork for the disposition of all the MVRD interests as described in the Bylaw. ALTERNATIVES 1. That the MVRD Board: a) give first, second and third reading to Metro Vancouver Regional District Disposition of Eastern Portion of Aldergrove Regional Park Bylaw No. 1261, 2018 (the Bylaw ); b) direct staff to carry out an alternative approval process to obtain elector approval for the Bylaw pursuant to section 269 of the Local Government Act; c) establish the deadline for receiving elector responses as April 6, 2018; d) establish elector response forms in the form attached to the report dated February 21, 2018 titled Metro Vancouver Regional District Disposition of Eastern Portion of Aldergrove Regional Park Bylaw No. 1261, 2018 ; e) determine that the total number of electors of the area to which the approval process applies is 1,715,196; and f) direct staff to report the results of the alternative elector approval process to the Board and if approval has been obtained, bring the Bylaw forward for adoption by the Board. 2. That the Board decline first reading to Metro Vancouver Regional District Disposition of Eastern Portion of Aldergrove Regional Park Bylaw No. 1261, 2018 and provide alternate direction. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS If the Board approves Alterative 1, and MVRD obtains the approval of the electors by way of alternative approval process, MVRD will dispose its fee simple interests or rights in or with respect to the regional parkland as detailed in the proposed Bylaw. All of the parkland dispositions will be at nominal value. In this regard, MVRD will publish notice pursuant to section 272(1)(a) of the Local Government Act of its intention to provide assistance by disposing of its interests in the parkland for less than market value. In terms of the financial implications of the alternative approval process, electors will be notified of the opportunity to oppose the proposed Bylaw by notices published in local news media. This advertising will cost approximately $15,000. SUMMARY / CONCLUSION The purpose of this report is to seek MVRD Board consideration of the first three readings of Metro Vancouver Regional District Disposition of Eastern Portion of Aldergrove Regional Park Bylaw No. 1261, 2018 (Bylaw) and direction to proceed with an alternative approval process to obtain elector approval for the parkland disposition. The proposed Bylaw would authorize the disposition of MVRD s fee simple interests in regional parkland within the eastern portion of Aldergrove Regional Park to the City of Abbotsford. The Aldergrove Regional Park straddles the border between the Township of Langley and the City of Abbotsford. In connection with the City of Abbotsford withdrawing from MVRD s Regional Parks Service, MVRD wishes to transfer for nominal value the eastern portion (approx. 127 ha) of

As noted earlier in the report, Metro Vancouver, the City of Abbotsford and the FVRD are working cooperatively to bring forward a new agreement in March that will recommend an interim arrangement between the parties with respect to the operation of the eastern portion of Aldergrove Regional Park. The proposed interim agreement would provide time for the parties to work directly with the Province to seek an alternative legislative solution to resolve the current limitations which exist in the Local Government Act. Alternative 1 is recommended. Attachments: 1. Metro Vancouver Regional District Disposition of Eastern Portion of Aldergrove Regional Park Bylaw No. 1261, 2018 (Orbit# ) 2.
