29 ^C-4r^m->< From: Scott Stanfield Date: November 26, 2013 at 10:48:09 AM PST To: Paul Ives Cc: Leslie Subject: Fwd: Amalgamation -- latest discussion from 4 former mayors Hi all, We re hoping to get feedback from each of you, in response to this press release from 4 former mayors. Thanks, Scott reporter@comoxvallevrecord.com (250) x2316 November 22, 2013 Amalgamation Now! Four former Comox Valley Mayors are calling on the provincial government to amalgamate the three municipalities in the Comox Valley as well as a large area of the regional District. Former Cumberland Mayors Fred Bates and Bronco Moncrief are joined by former Courtenay Mayors Ron Webber and Greg Phelps in calling for immediate action rather than more study. "The timing is perfect" says Bates. "If the province led the amalgamation process starting immediately, we could go to the polls next November and elect the first truly regional government for the area. Amalgamation would make us the third largest municipality on the Island!" While many of the details are still being finalized, Phelps says the important part would be the first election which would see a transitional style local government. He says, "We picture an elected body made up of three councillors from Courtenay; two from Corn ox; one from Cumberland; one from areas of the regional district that would be taken in and two at large councillors. The Mayor would also be elected at large- or elected by the whole Valley. Their primary role would be to transition into one larger, more effective group. This would take special skills as well as people who are big picture thinkers. It's just common sense. "

30 Bates says that Bronco Moncrief fought for years to keep Cumberland separate but in recent years has come to recognize that the only way for the village to thrive is to become part of a larger entity. "He came to recognize that it doesn't make sense to have all three municipalities as well as the RD going hat in hand to Victoria and Ottawa for various grants when one stronger voice would be heeded!" Bates adds that, because Moncrief is dealing with some health issues, he will not be active in the amalgamation discussions." Bates says, "I have discussed the idea with dozens of people and there is very little opposition as most people recognize that we have too much government in the Comox Valley. It is just not efficient- and it is going to get worse as local governments struggle to keep costs under control. It is time to work together and rationalize all of our services. We don t need separate fire departments, public works, planning and many others." Another area of concern that Phelps says has been raised is the loss of local identities. However Phelps dismisses those concerns saying "No matter what you call the amalgamated area, people would still refer to geographic locations to describe where they work or live. Cumberland would still be Cumberland, Comox would still be Comox and Courtenay would still be Courtenay." He adds that the lines have been blurred in recent years in many areas like McDonald road, the dividing line between Courtenay and Comox along Lerwick, where subdivisions from each community are divided by a narrow strip of pavement. All four say amalgamation would bring them in line with other services which serve the "Corn ox Valley" and not just individual municipalities. There's a long list Bates says, "St. Joseph's Hospital; the RCMP; the Ambulance Service; North Island College; airport; transit, art gallery, Sid Williams Theatre, sports center, pool and many others that identify themselves as serving "The Valley". The first transitional council would be charged with the task of bringing all government services under one umbrella. It just stands to reason that we can be much more efficient. We don t need three city halls-we need less government, not more!" Courtenay and Comox residents voted on amalgamation in 1993 with Courtenay residents favouring the idea while Comox residents gave the idea a thumbs down, primarily over concerns of possible tax increases. Phelps admits that he has heard that same concern in recent conversations with some Comox residents. While he says the former mayors don't have alt of the answers there are some looming realities. Once the population of Comox reaches 15,000 they will go from paying 70% of their local policing costs to over 90% and that will results in a real jump in

31 their taxes! Perhaps by joining the whole Valley together we can come up with a plan to spread the cost evenly and fairly. Amalgamation made sense 20 years ago and it makes a lot more sense today". Bates says there are many positives that have to be explored such as protecting the environment. "As one local government, we can identify sensitive areas that have to be protected. Years ago the local environment community released a report called "Nature Without Borders" that pointed out the need to work together. I am excited about the possibilities created by amalgamation. Instead of 7 water systems-we can have one; instead of three city halls, we can have one and maybe even house the school district and the regional district as well!" The four Mayors will be sending a letter to the provincial government asking for a meeting to discuss the idea sooner rather than later. Bates says "If we don't get on this immediately, it will be at least another four years before we have the opportunity. We don't need a study. Studies do two things: they either sit on a shelf gathering dust or they get used as a doorstop-we need leadership!" Fred Bates: Cell Greg Phelps: Cell

We would also like to stage the kayaking leg in Comox Lake. In order to achieve this we would ask permission to close Cumberland Lake Park from the hours of 7am until noon on April 27, 2014 for our sole use. We will be launching the kayaks on the BC Hydro Dam side (Fish and Oaitie Club property) and die kayaks would race across making the change over to road bikes at the parking lot of the Park. In order to do this, we would also be opsning up the log.breakwater and closing it up properly when we are finished, As we will have upwards of 400 athletes in this area, we would also like pennission to restrict traffic on the Road going to Cumberland Lake Park from Downtown Cumberland. We would also like to extend you an invitation to attend the finish festivities and awards ceremonies following the 2014 event. The post race festivities commence on the lawns of (he Comox Marina at noon, with the first team expected to arrive after 12:30. The prize giving ceremonies will commence at aproximately 430pjn. This year the limit of taams will be easily reached and with nine na&mbers per team involved in Alpine & Nordic Skiing, Running, Cycling and Canoeing from Mt, Washington to Comox Marina Park, this ranks the largest annual community participation event in the Comox Valley and the largest Race of its kind in Canada and the Pacific Northwest, We are also excited to be bringing back the Parade which will take place down 5"* Street in Courtenay at 5pm on Saturday. We would like to thank the Village of Cumberland for its help and support in staging This worthwhile community event and look forward to the successful 2014 Comox Valley Snow to Surf Race.

As per your conversation with the Fire Chief the members would like to use the site near the BMX Track. This event is a fund raiser for the CVFood Bank where they will receive all the proceeds. On January 4th this event will start ati Oam where we will collect the trees and approximately 4pm a controlled' burn will begin. We would like to request the Villages support in way of clean-up the following day as there will be some ash remaining. Happy Holidays, Kevin Wallace, Secretary Cumberland Fire Rescue Society

AGENT: Jamie Edwards PID: Lot 1, Section 25, Township 10, Comox District, Plan Cumberland Road Commercial ZONING: Industrial Two (1-2) RECOMMENDATION i) THAT Council receive 'Amendment to Edwards Industrial Park Development Permit DP' report dated November 27, ii) THAT Council grant the amendment to the Development Permit (File DP) for SUMMARY property legally described as Lot 1, Section 25, Township 10, Comox District, Plan (4640 Cumberland Road) granted on June 10, 2013 for the purposes of reducing the development setback to the wetland as recommended by Warren Fleenor, R.P.Bio, in his report dated November 14, 2013 which is shown on the replacement Appendix D to the Development Permit, attached to this report as Schedule C. On June 10, 2013, Council granted a Development Permit for the purposes of the construction of a building containing seven light industrial rental units and a handicap accessible washroom addition to the existing ATCO trailer. The proposed development required, in addition to an Industrial DP, an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) Development Permit (DPA #1). The applicant wishes to amend the Environmental setback from the granted distance of 23.0metres to IS.Ometres Page 1 of 6

38 BACKGROUND The Development Permit (DP) which was granted in June permitted a 23.0metre (75.0feet) riparian setback to the edge of the wetland. Warren Fleenor, R.P.Bio has recommended that this setback could be reduced to a 15.2metre (49.9feet). A copy of his recommendation is attached as Schedule B of this report. The setback is shown on the drawing, attached as Schedule C to this report, which would replace the existing Appendix D in the DP granted on June 10, An request was sent to Margaret Henigman, Ecosystems Specialist for Central and North Vancouver Island at the Environmental Protection of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources. She will be out of the office until December 9, and it is unlikely that her comments will be received by the time of the meeting. However, given that Mr. Fleenor is a Qualified Environmental Professional in good standing with the Ministry and that the Ministry is no longer auditing his Riparian Area Reports because of his consistent compliance, staff recommends that Council grant the reduced setback to 15.2metres (SO.Ofeet). FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS None STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE None PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Pursuant to the requirements of Bylaw No. 956, notice of Council consideration of the Development Permit have been met by the following: 1. Two Public information meetings (May 13 and May 27) were held at 2660 Dunsmuir Avenue. The meetings were advertised in the Comox Valley Echo newspaper. Notices were mailed to adjacent properties within 75.0metres and were hand delivered to adjacent properties. There were 10 people present on May 13 and one person attended on May 27. General support for the development was received verbally, and one written submission of "great development project" was received. 2. The Public Notice sign was erected at the subject property on May On May 15, 2013, staff mailed a notice to the neighboring properties within 75.0metres of the subject property. The Development Permit and its consideration was placed on the Village website. No comments or submissions had been received. ATTACHMENTS A copy of the draft Development Permit is attached.

An alternative scenario is proposed in which a straight line is set at a distance of 15.2 m at the rear of the site to improve the development footprint of the site (Figure 1). I have no objections to the proposed realignment for the following reasons; 1. The realignment will result in a net gain of 149 m of dedicated riparian habitat (361 mz gained vs. 212 m lost). 2. With mitigation measures (below), the realignment not result will result In a negative impact to ecological function of the site. Conditions of RealiRnment The following mitigation measures must be completed as part of the proposed realignment: Douglas fir and 10 Sitka spruce conifer trees must be planted in the newly created riparian setback area. 2. As much as possible, care must be taken to preserve as many of the existing confer trees outside of the setback area in the northwest corner of the site. 3. Any exposed soils must be hydroseeded in the setback area. 4. The setback area must be fenced to prevent encroachment Into the setback area. 5. Invasive species (notably Scotch broom) must be completely removed from the riparian setback area for the next seven years. Please cat) with any questions you may have In regards to this letter.

SUMMARY Response Type May Fire Rescue First Responder Motor Vehicle Incident Duty Officer Total Monthly 2013: 12 Total 2013: 190 BACKGROUND November has been quiet month as we've had no fire calls for the month. That is a first for us as long as I can remember which is good but we realize the next fire is coming and we will be ready. I have had some other routine responses but nothing out of the ordinary. I have been away for a few weeks on vacation and had Assistant Chief Craig Windley looking after the department which went well. Craig is a twenty year member of the department and our training officer and is well prepared to handle things like many of our other duty officers. The Department has been working a lot on the 2014 budget Page 1 of 3

89 Membership Regular Members: 24 Firefighter II certified: 12 Junior Members: 3 Probationary Members: 8 Pending Applications: 0 Total: 35 Training The members have really been hitting the books and most of the written JIBC exams have been completed. In the New Year we will be still finishing up with exams and practical evaluation with the majority of the members. In 2014 we will be working at certifying ten more members for Firefighter II. We have trained five practical evaluators in our department so this will help us achieve our goals in the New Year. We have started Captain Mike Bossom on the Fire officer program which he has 70% completed. This is a huge undertaking but Mike is given a good effort and should be finished in May. So certified training is what we have been working on all year and this will be our main objective in Of course training is expensive and we hope to keep having Council's support to take our Department to a high level of professional certified firefighters FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS None STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE We are still looking at properties for the new fire hall location. This is difficult but necessary procedure and ongoing. We hope to come up with locations in the New Year. ATTACHMENTS None CONCURRENCE None Page 2 of 3
