You will recall the incredible footage of the brave man who stood alone in front of the tanks in Tienanmen Square.  And now June 13/14, TV film of civilians in Gaza marching for peace protesting the Fatah/Hamas warfare and an unarmed man chasing after a gunman so incensed and fedup are the people with the fighting.

Man never ceases to surprise.

It's coming to strawberry season -- we need some sun for the ripening, however.  The VSun reported we've lost about half of our strawberry farmers with imports from California, Mexico, and China.  I'll pay more to buy local -- small, juicy, sweet, organic if possible.

ooo  BLOCK WATCH -- www.blockwatch.com

Every year from June 1 to September 30, the GVRD implements restrictions to lawn sprinkling. These measures help us manage our water use through the summer in order to avoid even further restrictions during the [drier] months.  Water sprinkling regulations:

June 16 marked the Opening Night of Romeo and Juliet at Bard on the Beach!  -- a sweet Juliet who looks the 13 going on 14 referred to in the play, a lively caring nurse (instead of the old grandmotherly usually portrayed), and then, pause for awe, Bob Frazer as Mercutio whose magnetism/dynamism is felt whenever he is on stage -- definitely one of the best actors in Canada right now.  See www.bardonthebeach.org or call 739 0559 for tix as soon as possible if you want to go.  Taming of the Shrew is sold out for the next week or so and 50% for rest of season.  Those two are in the big tent.  Awaiting with great anticipation the two yet to come: Julius Caesar and Timon of Athens.

CALL TO ORDER

1.  APPROVAL OF AGENDA moved No 6 to No 2

VV: I'd like to move an amendment that in view of the number of ppl in the Chamber move the Rodgers Creek to be the next item (No 6) in place No 2.

Mayor: we've also got the Child Care Services WG

[Sop seconded]

JF: I don't understand the reason for that

VV: many people in the chamber this evening have come in connection with the Upper Lands, the Rodgers Creek Area planning, and in order not to have large numbers of ppl sitting needlessly for an hour or two, thought be more expeditious if we deal with that item next

CAO: the only question as to whether Ms Boyle here to speak; and also believe going to be a mbr of WG here.

SJN: Can't see Ms Boyle; she's in her office, was anticipating after 7 o'clock; I can give her a call.

Mayor: absolutely need staff.  Ms Scholes?

SSch: we cd just contact her

Mayor: why don't we call the question but not properly prepared without our staff person to introduce the work of the WG

CAO: while staff is trying to contact Ms Boyle and determine if WG mbr here, may I suggest deal with Public Amenity then move it up to right after.

Mayor: insert RCrk Status Report when we have the appropriate staff here.  Begin with Item No 2

SSch: you can reorder items without an amendment if you wish.

2.         Public Amenity Policy for receipt and approval

SJN: been discussed for a number of years

whenever a devt occurs.....negotiate

accomplish the objectives of OCP, basic services, improvements to street, provides some amelioration measures

in some cases, traffic lights or pathway systems

in addition, have negotiated for amenities: parks, ....... public art..... daycare..... cmnty space in the Lincoln Gardens for....

the Bagel shop...

been informal, case by case basis

been going through this for a year and a half

is limited in WV compared with Vancouver, Bby etc where high levels of growth

probably wdn't apply in sgl fam areas

cd apply wd apply in the Upper Lands

it has applied in the Ev Dr area in a substantial way

cd apply in Amb area in significant way, wdn't say substantial

waterfront

recommended

recent court cases in Supreme Court, has changed way [this done]

number had policies in place to deal with uplift wrt rezoning

recent court cases found that not legal, may be subject to reclaiming benefit

looked on as an unauthorized form of taxation

one left is

LGA, amenity bonusing, suggest that tool be used in Amb area

comprehensive devt agreement, called Phased, a new provision placed in the LGA, not been finally adopted/proclaimed by cabinet but will be shortly

one-off such as RCrk

third way is housing agreement, if M land involved, as in Water's Edge and tied in amenities to the land sale agrmt

tools there, contained in this policy

recommended policy based on a form of uplift in Amb area and that we negotiate in RCrk area based on .....

.... Clyde Ave already in place

if applic from Pk Royal at any time

recommended look at Dunda and HBay

Mayor: Roff Johannson, former chair of Fiscal Sustainability Task Force

RJ: saw earlier draft and have not seen [this]

F&A did not endorse; was not discussed

not badly intended; urge you return it for reworking

public consultation was one memo and one comment from BPP, so begs question

does not recogn cost implications

matters signif; possible legal ones

adoption of this policy in these words is premature

examples of new projects, flow from them to taxpayer

Section 4.4 of how this might continue

TF concluded must be ... and consideration of any new amenity prior to adoption; policy silent on this and I don't think it shd be

more troubling, Ccl authority result of casual wording; Ccl's paramountcy challenged

2.5 Ccl wd identify rather than approve

cmnty planning process -- troubling b/c Ccl shd make such

2.5 second, limits Ccl's scope of actions

incomplete, cd be more clearly written, cd be more thought through

not adopt, subject it further, more detailed

CAO: hv gone to F&As but they have not [discussed it]

hs bn to solicitor who has reviewed this

and the extent to which Ccl can recommend amenities

Mr J may have concerns

...but reflected in doc before you

JF: move be received and forwarded to a regular mtg of Ccl

Mayor: seconder? no one

this is cmte of the whole, for discussion

VV: will second in order to make a comment

appreciate what Mr J had to say

wondered if Upper Lands...... in general terms amenities and no mention of parks -- connect with OCP, mentions parks, 25 acres and 30 acres

amenity policy matching OCP policy

not willing to approve but interesting as a work in progress

JC: agree with much of what Mr Johannson said; generally good but loose

2.5, says 'may', and then Ccl shall have discretion wrt in kind

p17 the value of the amenity contribution, based on following criteria.... will be considered and encouraged but does not come back to Ccl

Sop: xxx

Mayor: xxx

JF: friendly amendment, okay

CAO: is at F&A, just not time; they meet tomorrow night, been busy so cd review it

SJN: when reviewing initial report; had been quite specific and F&A commented that shd be more general to allow more negotiation ...

Sop: lots of M already; they'll have to amend

we're not anywhere close to this until Finance

in world of ecodensity, give awareness dvpr some xxx for the future

if Finance Cmte comes back with... Mr J pointed out some... come back

Mayor: been at this since 2004; goal here is not to leave anything on the table

CARRIED

6.         Rodgers Creek Area Planning - Status Report: June 01 from the Manager, Community Planning for receipt.

Geri Boyle, staff: WG has has seven mtgs

quite a bit of time becoming fam with the area, related to landscape, site visits usually led by our Envmtal Coord and BPP staff who know the land well.

Have heard from the owners in the area, there are four

BPP has bn doing some high level planning, the envisioning notebook; eight sustainable pillars shared with WG

basically satisfied with the direction that is going

agreement what areas devt shd take place

moving quite well as to where devt might occur

wanted owners to look at the issues together and not use WG as arbiters

considerable amt of time last week, 7th, spent reviewing principles

had some additions and asked for some clarification re wording

we have checklists within the OCP but this will be more detailed

looking at that or some modified one

one point not covered in my report, actually two: constantly reminding the owners that this is a planning process, area that is not lots

looking overall

Mayor: Cclr Day, the Chair, not here

this is a completely new planning approach, straight out of OCP

come out of ......... natural heritage

WV is a cmnty of nbrhds

this is about creating nbhds

really good

after you make your motion, Cclr Clark, may want to refer our comments to WG

Sop: know it's early

how many bodies are you listening to

Sop: wd it not be reasonable enough if the present situation existed wd go on for

and these Eq CTr wd not be any further ahead than we are today two years from now

Mayor: want to stay on RCrk

Sop: want to make a suggestion; if not part of RCk, have to look at another model

Mayor: well, return to you

JF: you mentioned that the RCWG was looking as to where to go

GB: still with xxx

some of those services wd be in a future village; ctr right up on the mtn so reduce those needs

MS: so how far in the future will this appear out of the woods

GB: a village might be on BPP prop, as soon as planning for RCrk area completed want to move on to planning for that

VV: comment after motion read out

VV: unfortunate we've had a communication with the public as a whole

we don't have an aq ctr or ice arena that covers

if no new must impose a burden

getting on with park lands on the UL [Upper Lands]

cmnty facilities, traffic at LG bridgehead

Mayor: back to you, still about RCr?

Park provision is a gift?

SJN: yes; are a given as with Stonecliffe [sp?], already begun acquisition

one of the really interesting challenges, often get resource info but how do you trade it

geotechnical sensitive crosshatched red

over...... shdn't even consider going into these areas......

layering these together, developable areas rose to the top

Mayor: take vote?

Sop: where does my motion fit in?

Mayor: it's next; read motion

Mayor: thank you, Cclr Sop

JC: drumroll?

Sop: want to be to the point; want Mr Nicholls to convey to public position

CAO: difficult for me to say, since not

is it a land use that Ccl wd support, if it was, how identify location; then public or priv prop

zoning or process

Sop: if we as a Ccl support initiative to have an Eq Ctr, then we shd say we need a vision of a new model

an Eq Ctr leased? caretaker? where, why, etc

unless we go in that direction, v difficult find a position where we can legally provide

as a motion that Ccl ask for a staff report to bring back, all the parameters Mr Stuart has realised to secure the possibility of an Eq Ctr somewhere in WV

JC: second

VV: we did have a report in July from Mr Nicholls and it was positive

Ccl liked idea but didn't like Ballantree b/c public used to it as public

whilst the WG is dealing with RCrk, cd be benefit to consider land -- serviced land with road access such as land by Hydro land substation

look at M-owned, and privately owned; if under same priv ownership we cd be looking at xxx

timely and appropriate, RCrk and Eq Ctr.... at this point

support but shd amend it to M and priv-owned land, move ahead so at same time as RCrk subdivision

Sop: diff between a priv owner and a [?] owning a facility

have to look at a new model, not priv owner on M land

possibly going to have to entertain a diff model

have a dialogue with public so it doesn't go away and that we foster the idea rather than say it's over

amount of email in last week

possibility of finding land but diff from way today

CAO: since Cmte of Whole, helpful to have this freeflow of info

don't know Ccl has [decided this]

MS: inject a little common sense here

Sop: what do you think we're doing?

MS: vehemently disagree

like RFMP start with $2M [for pool], spend $6M, then $9M?

Sop: didn't say we were building it

Mayor: Cclr Smith has the floor

MS: keep losing my train of thought with Cclr Sop always interrupting

role for someone ready to step up to the plate with money

land not slated for .....

done at no cost to the M

look at the history of past few years, lost hotel, public driving range, bowling, cinema, banquet hall

becoming a place to sleep, need rec facilities

if coming up with money we shd try to find them some prop; land for nothing else, wd make some sense

we have no money ourselves even though it wd be an asset...

JF: not opposed to an Eq Ctr in UL or WV but inclined re MMgr's process, taking a look at land and what can be used for

been a lot of requests, certainly our Tennis Club 12 to 15 years

Mr Stuart is right [not] to abandon one group at request of another; no reason why not both

may take some time where land is av for anything up there

need to take a longer term view of what's av up there, and what we might do with land up there

agree wholeheartedly if someone came having bought the prop, wd entertain

JC: incumbent on Ccl to seriously consider any serious.....

agree with what Mr Stuart and Cclr Smith said

Mayor: Cclr V then Cclr Sop

VV: v few areas suitable and other uses more imp

we seem to have gotten into a pattern of giving housing priority

if we consulted wider public they'd be more keen on rec rather than more housing

test, referendum or survey: choose between hi rise towers and horses in the UL they'd choose horses

CAO: I was saying other recreational uses, now housing

VV: I accept that

Sop: no doubt we're going to look at amenities in UL

and Cclr Smith not something costing a lot of money; just to see if feasible, if not in RCrk area, where cd it be

some positive; negative, nothing good

Mayor:

Sop: I can't do

Mayor: what Cclr Smith is saying is that assuming no cost, hybrid, not sure

think this is taking it straight, Cclr Smith, from Fiscal Task Force

have to maintain our focus

b/c UL so....  getting everyone thinking

huge demand for what is left and demand is only going to intensify...

nobody has time to go away for the weekend any more -- they have three hours...

incumbent on us to protect

[list here]

all important ideas

to the extent of starting a policy

Cclr V is right, to look at.....

not just economic return to devpr, but to [cmnty?] and to values

exciting

ev mbr of Ccl's [opinion]

Cmte of Whole good

Mayor:

SJN: you may want to leave it general

Cclr V mentioned parksite No 1

get chips, that's a school site that's...

we have gone through with the Danns all the M holdings and we know the sites

not considered was an Eq Ctr in the middle of a park

there are sites around

if we leave it general, locating and acquiring then we cd priv

VV: whatever wording comes out, important to have timing

Rugby Lease had a nine-year leadup

need to do at an accelerated pace, they've been at it for three years or so

can we have a timetable? lands at certain date, ...

RCrk chips

CAO: our staff are fully tasked in Planning; before timeplan, wd hv to sit down

if fairly general request re parameters, say two weeks, know coming

VV: write a letter to eq ctr applicants what happens from now

when they get their answer; they feel they've been bounced around

I'll be away

Mayor: and

waiting for Clovelly, nbrhd character; that's coming in June

not trying to sideline this but we get from Task Force, stay focused

report?

CAO: in July, to get template

Mayor:

SSch: read out motion

SJN: end at Eq Ctr and we'll do timeline

Sop/JC CARRIED

8:36

3.         Sponsorship and Partnership Policy and Procedures for approval BUT read out as 'received'

Sop: again, shd be a biz case scenario

money, what fund does it go into; how much wd donations, etc

a lot of specifics re partnerships -- haven't figured out what a partnership is going to be but we're passing a policy

MS: agree with you Cclr Sop; refer to F&A cmte

JF: we've had many that have been profitable

just enable us to increase funds to improve quality of life in this cmnty

VV: mentions that staff wd make some decisions, fine but might not want it restricted it in this way

feel it shd be more general at this oint as to who does what

Mayor: point to parts so when referring it to F&A cmte

JC: fine going to F&A; loose side again, eg p4 second para, all shall outline ... and shall be approved

looks just to approve what's offered

VV: right at beginning, directed by staff or volunteers; might be them but also cd be ccl or outside agents

BV: do understand that the presence of the Police Bd is a decision

CAO: the opp to

BV: p 4 Ccl delegates to CAO

Sop: did a great job

9:14

Mayor: I have Dxxx Elmett (sp?)  Is she here here?  I know I owe her a phone call, so I will follow up with one tomorrow.  Carolanne Reynolds?

CR: Good evening.  I just have two questions that arose while I was listening.

One is [WV popn; figs Bill Vaughn referred to in the 2006 Annual Report earlier] -- and perhaps the CAO can explain the difference -- when I noticed in some VSun statistics a couple of years ago the difference in popn figures [b/c] there were two different figures. So I asked what the difference was and sometimes some figures in the statistics, I discovered, are given including the Squamish Reserve b/c it's on "municipal land"

and sometimes the figures are given without.  So I don't know what the difference is you're talking about but I think it shd be made clear when they're included and when they're not b/c it made a difference in some allocations the province was giving.

CAO: the numbers here, simple -- the information we used in the graph was perhaps obtained from one source and staff was updating the preface or the mandate, and probably phoned somebody else and got a different set.  It might even be 2007, so it's something we'll correct.

The second thing was, in the motion Cclr Clark made wrt Rodgers Crk WG and the Eq Ctr, whatever you're talking about, the motion included there be a presentation at a workshop with Ccl.  Still floating on the euphoria of having got WGs now to allow the public to attend and raise [offer] points of information, to avoid any miscommunication, b/c I understand that, I think it wd be helpful to have clarification, if workshops have the same rules so that the public can attend the workshop and raise a point of information, b/c it seemed like a public thing but I'm not quite sure what category you want to put that in.

Mayor: Well, it's really great that you raised that point b/c Ccl is just reviewing its procedure bylaw, we've taken from 54 pages down to 12, and we also recognize the utility of a workshop, the need for them to be in public, the opportunity though it wd provide for us to talk with WGs; and so when the procedure bylaw comes forward there will be an outline of what that cd be like.  So it's in anticipation of that, but absolutely it wd be public.  It wd be like a WG of Ccl.

CR: okay so that workshop wd fall into that category b/c when a staff mbr at a cmte -- not Cclr Smith's, he's following all [WG guidelines] letting ppl speak, and so is Cclr Day -- a staff mbr interrupted the Chair to say that the mbr of the public cd only speak or ask a question on 'process and disposition', and so later on when I asked about that I was told b/c that's still part of your mtg bylaws.  Now some of your ppl are going for the more recent one.  Are you going to be changing that so they're all consistent then?

CAO: I think Ms Reynolds is referring to the Design Cmte--

CR: I didn't want to name them--

CAO: and there is an issue b/c the Design Cmte has a specific function.

Certainly we've been able to apply the general WG rules to the other standing cmtes.

We are going to make that clear in the bylaw but there is a question as to how we want to deal with the Design Cmte.  So we're going to have to have a discussion with the Chair and the cmte about what they're comfortable with, and how they wish to proceed.

CR: this wasn't the Chair, and I don't want to leave that impression.  So I'm glad that you're reviewing those and refining them.

It reminds me of the person who was cramming for the exam and he got his notes down from 50 pages down to 12 pages, down to five pages, down to one page, down to a sentence, down to a word, went into the exam and forgot the word.

to some laughter, Mayor: well, there's no fear of that as long as you're here to keep us on track. TYVM.

I have Ashley Dann here, not sure if she's still here; I think she left with the group.  Anything further? yes?

Bruce McArthur (of WRA): re devt around creeks etc

M and regional bylaws

along sea to sky corridor; rocks into Larson Creek

none of our bylaws seems to work or be able to look after a condition aberrant in my estimation

nice to have words but unless provision can look xxx

shd question

I sent you an email: 1000 days to go pamphlet

mentioned all the wonderful partners and hosts; ev from McDonald's to Teck Cominco

nothing in this whole document about WV

Mayor: we're in talks; looking to signing a licensing agreement

the bitter experience of Eagleridge Bluffs in our face

we take our bylaws and OCP seriously; prov another matter

CAO: when it comes to our attn, Stephen talks to Kiewit

status right now they don't have to comply

But they lie

legally they do but they don't

re VANOC, diff category, Whistler and Van, Rmd now negotiation

re neg? where to cooperate, right to use the rings

hope to bring the ... to in July

v complex; have to make sure dotting all 'i's and crossing 't's

really not so only xxx taxes

not creating any onerous financial.. on cmnty

Sop: in relation to what this company is doing wrt StS

if impacting Larson, are we helpless?

even mitigating? money to mitigate? have we approached province

send Police out to shut down?

follow rules prov set down? they don't?

open space, open creek beside firehall in HBay

CAO: as we find out we bring to attn of Kiewit often they're prompt, etc

Sop: wonderful job staff did open, by firehall,

Sop: paying in any

CAO: corrective (?) pay for mitigation

Sop: still doing things, who writes?  report?

CAO: our envtal coord [Stephen Jenkins] in contact with them on a weekly basis

generally they address them; don't know if anything current

BM: a lot of ongoing

a lot are not Kiewit, they're under an envtal certificate by Ministry

they don't intentionally do something they don't have approval or pat on back from

they're dumping rocks into M lands up the top there; rocks roll down; stumps and debris been pushed over edge of hwy and leaving them there
