==================================================================

A        QUESTION

Is Cclr Williams saying that Council has jurisdiction to give PRIVATE instructions to cmte chairs which are contrary to the bylaw?

[See PQP below in Section D, also marked with ###]
Our present Procedures Bylaw allows Chairs to invite the public to comment. The recent (verbal) order to Chairs NOT to allow the public to speak not only was made without amending the bylaw (we now have a commitment the bylaw will be discussed in public in the fall), in the case of the resident (not allowed to speak or present his presentation) who wanted to refute the developer's claim that his neighbourhood favoured the proposed development offends Natural Justice. The APC thus heard the developer talking about the neighbours' approval and wouldn't allow the person representing 89 households to refute the untrue claim.
The transcript of that part of PQP quotes Cclr Wms who finally admits the present bylaw states Chairs can invite the public to speak, he shows his hand by saying: "But we encourage them NOT to."

Isn't this going backward? Don't we want open government? Why can't residents provide accurate information about their own areas or groups? Must they be forced to sit mute while developers sing the praises of their proposals quoting untrue approval by neighbours?

B NO COUNCIL MEETINGS until Tues, Sept 4

D      JULY 23rd CCL MTG NOTES

All on board for the last meeting before the summer recess!

The Mayor announced that West Van is the recipient of the CPRA 2001 Award of Excellence for innovation for the District's mountain risks and safety programme. This award of excellence is for outstanding leadership in facilities, heritage, and cultural programmes, parks, and operations maintenance. Park Manager, Doug Leavers, will accept the award in Mississauga August 21.

Quite wise for the Mayor to warn those in the gallery that in view of the amount of correspondence on the speed humps during the past week, he wanted to say it was NOT on the agenda and a report would come back in the fall.

Items added to the agenda:

- 8a - OCP Review Select Cmte status report
- 16a - Naming of Park located at foot of 15th Street and the waterfront
- 18f - An additional information item
- 19 - Additional Correspondence items

Did you catch that? Pretty sneaky. The floral clock was slipped in without your knowing, wasn't it! Just the location as the hint -- but not publicly announced before the actual meeting.
Another wise move.
There's no way this was a last-minute addition: it appeared in the Harmony Arts Festival flyer which went to print some time ago. More likely because of the controversy great motivation not to have it on the agenda appearing on the website, in the newspaper, at the Library.

= CLUC Amendment to SW Quadrant

        Adopted with Cclr Soprovich opposed.

=   Gleneagles Corridor Lands - Zoning Amendment Bylaw

Dir/Planning explained this was an interim zoning; ROW will be dealt with.
Mayor said: Public Hearing set for Sept 4th.
Cclr Sop said there appeared to be no mention of the creeks.....
Cclr Wms: That's what amendments are for.
Dir/Planning: The land zoned for public use will not be used for residential, is what is intended.
Cclr Durman: If we don't know what the land will be used for we can't say.....but it's for recreational things. We own the land and we're the governing body. If we wanted a kiosk to explain about the fish in Larson Creek. That's the problem. We can (a future Council can) change the zoning.

Motion passed to have a hearing Sept 4th.

More explanation: it is currently zoned as residential (golf course) will now be zoned as Public Use. Please take the opportunity to read what is proposed so that you can voice your opinion at the Public Hearing/Meeting Tuesday, Sept 4th.

=   Marine Drive Relocation [Road Exchange Bylaw]
Will be published for two consecutive weeks 30 days prior to adoption of the bylaw.

=   DVP 3321 Marine Drive
Fine, to preserve the heritage house
but
Cclr Soprovich pointed out that the owner wanted the two birch trees removed. Staff did not recommend that they be removed but a parks staff was expected. The owner's argument was that many like to look at the house and the trees would block the view. [!]

When asked, the Dir/Planning confirmed the the staff report referred to was not there and the Dir/Parks didn't know anything about it.
Cclr Wms joined with Cclr Sop noting the trees were on the boulevard and this variance approval did not mean the trees could be removed.
The owner will have to make a separate application.

=   OCP Review Select Cmte Status Report

Cclr Ferguson summarized what has been done to date.
Issues Identification Workshop was held
OCPRSC and RG working to develop principles, to prepare a framework, to reach out in a variety of ways, to put up an OCPRG Web page....
Open Houses planned; working with Library on a display
Reports received: Housing, Upper Lands,....
Phone calls welcome from citizens
Want to involve as many people as possible
The OCPRG will take a bus tour in September
Mayor Wood thanked her for her continuing leadership.

=   Zoning of WV Park Land

Cclr Ferguson referred staff report to advisory groups
There are 142 parcels of park and there are options regarding zoning
Cclr Durman said this report doesn't mention cost and wondered if there would be a public hearing for each park
{{Muffled chuckles}}
He continued, saying that the solicitor said that Council is the only governing body. It can designate zoning but can change and can even ignore it. Presumably the municipality will not take itself to court. He recognized that there'd be some comfort if parks were zoned parks instead of residential as they are now. An example he gave was that the former BCR property part of Seaview Walk is zoned residential which started people's concerns.
MMgr said there could be a simple or a complex process. Public has to be involved. There will be another report and some costs will be given.
Cclr D said being referred to PRAC but we all know the outcome -- parks. But what about cost?
Cclr Haycock said he was in favour because if zoned parks, harder to develop as residential which would be easy as now zoned; also favoured simpler approach.
Cclr Wms said cost significant but no doubt valuable. They have been created in a variety of ways. For example, there is a distinction between a park created by dedication and one by resolution of Council. As well, the park will be surveyed -- Ccl is unaware of the boundaries of Ambleside Park, formed by parcels over years and we don't know conditions that were imposed when added. Necessary and perhaps should have been done years ago.

{{ADRA asked over two years ago, Cclr Wms!}}

Cclr Sop said it was a good exercise and timely.

=   Visions of the North Shore Millennium Project

A representative of the NVCAC named those involved and outlined this process over the last two years to establish a legacy (with federal help).
WV supplied cash for four projects are Ambleside Park, John Lawson Park, Dundarave Pier, and Horseshoe Bay. With the history of the North Shore the core of its theme, it was about identifying and celebrating historically significant sites across the North Shore....[named things such as a curriculum guide and the prints hanging in the Chamber] creating a legacy. Markers will be installed at the sites.
The set of prints was presented to WV as a token of appreciation.

= Ambleside Business Area Review Status Report

The staff identified points to be further considered and clarified and will work with the Chamber of Commerce and the Business associations.
{See PQP and see INFObits for URL of report.}

= Purchase of Lot 16, Block D, District Lot 1123
District's policy to protect forest areas for public use (rather than loss if privately owned). $22,700 (2001 assessed value). Carried.

= Library Parking
Cclr Haycock gave some background on the July 13 report.
There are 180, sometimes 350 an hour
110 to 125 spots if standards applied (but has fewer).
Ongoing problem so staff and board looked at four options. There's a house annex that could be demolished then have surface parking. That property could be apartments. Could have townhouses with parking underneath. The Library Board is investigating angle parking, dropoff areas, branches in eastern and western parts of municipality, boulevard.

A short term solution would be demolition with surface parking:
$36,000 from the capital budget, $33,000 from the capital reserves
Cclr Sop wondered about the future use of the land and if the Library would become attached and not want to release it.....
MMgr said report outlines choices and staff contemplated future uses but coming back with that not a priority at this time.
{{Much musing round the mulberry bush, Cclr D talking about a short-term solution which in WV is about ten years....}}
Cclr Haycock said it wouldn't sit as a parking lot -- it's valuable land. The future report will outline choices.
Cclr Wms wouldn't support the amendment because Library Board has been asking for years for more parking. The Dir/Planning made a presentation of alternatives to the Library Board and this is the one they chose at this time. I'm not in favour of imposing conditions.
Cclr Sop: What's value of the property? $1m? surface parking?
Amendment fails.
Cclr Durman said he agrees with Cclr Soprovich's point but staff hasn't time to bring forth a report for all the alternatives. He wanted, however, to make the point that the land is not theirs. At some future point maybe a building that includes parking. Don't want patrons to think it's theirs and theirs alone. Make the point short-term.
Cclr Wms: for library patrons.
Cclr Haycock: [amendment] not the least bit friendly
Cclr D: when it comes back if not mentioned may be ignored, Cclr Sop's point.
Cclr Haycock: The funny thing is, I concur. No doubt our land.
Cclr D: Had a conversation with them about whose land....
MMgr said he would have a note put on the inside of the file for all to see!
Dir/Planning suggested adding: "pending the development of longer-term plans".

Pounced on by all with alacrity and passed!

= FCM Resolution re GATS

Cclr Wms referred to the variety of opinions on the position the municipalities are in and it is suggested lawyers examine this and report. WV's resolution will be forwarded to the FCM for consideration.
Cclr Haycock said it may be that private companies are allowed to bid on contracts for hospitals, or whatever. Canadian lawyers are concerned but US lawyers not at all. The cultural difference.
Cclr D said it is amazing we can't get a definite answer [what's involved/powers].

= Food Optional Area for Beach House at Dundarave Pier
Application for 15 interior seats supported, recommendation forwarded to prov govt.

= Reopening of Lane 1300/1400 Queens

Staff recommends the lane be reopened (for safety, emergency vehicles) and since the residents are opposed, that the District pay for the paving $8,000.

{{ What a precedent! Does that mean citizens can just say no and then the municipality pays? }}

A resident referred to a cmte meeting of June 6 that he tried to get the minutes of to read about the recommendation but was told they weren't available.

Mayor Wood turned to the MMgr who said that it was a June meeting and they may not be available until the cmte has reviewed them.

The citizen said the resident representative at that meeting had told him there was no discussion of this item.
The Dir/Operations said he'd discussed it with staff and the report was accurate [that wanted it open].

= Floral Clock Lot to be Renamed Millennium Park

Cclr Sop talked about purchasing the park at the foot of 15th some time ago where they have put the floral clock and it will be officially renamed the Millennium Park and will be officially dedicated as part of the Harmony Arts Festival on Saturday Aug 4th at 1:30.

{{As noted earlier, wise not notice; I have received more calls about the floral clock than anything else and seen more in the news. Mind you, that's before muzzling the public came up.....}}

= Reports / Information / Correspondence

Cclr Wms directed Council's attention to the First Nations reports on lands and forests.

= PQP

- Bob Annable (of Deer Ridge fame) extended congratulations re OCP Review process to date, and wondered if it was on schedule re Phase 2. Difficult phase.
Cclr Ferguson said she hoped so.

###{{Complete transcript of tape starts here:}}############

- Carolanne Reynolds, President of ADRA and President of the NS Heritage Cmte
[ADRA]
Before I ask my questions, I want to thank you so much for the organization that you've done on the parks, and going [forward/zoning]. It's really such a relief. We're so delighted that you're doing that. Do you know we asked for it about [over] two years ago and I know it's been really hard and difficult, a lot of work with 142 parks, but we're really pleased with what you've done.
Mayor Wood: At least we know how many we have...
CR: Yes, yes.
And
[1] sort of a busman's holiday I suppose but we'd like to ask you if you would please come [to]. The Ambleside and Dundarave Ratepayers' Association is having a public information meeting on Monday, July 30th, at 7pm at St Stephen's, 885 - 22nd [22nd and Marine Drive]. You can check [with] www.westvan.org or call 926-8649. [But] we'd all very much like to [see you,] if you can spare a few minutes, but if you can't, if you would like to give us something you
want us to say on your behalf, what your plans are for the future -- anything you would like to say, we'd be delighted to pass it on.
Mayor: Could you just send a couple of lines for us on that, just give it a note form, or an email or something?
CR: Sure.
Mayor: so that it's in written form and we don't have to rely on our memory here.
CR: Be delighted to. And I hope that [you can all come or do so].
You had asked ADRA to write in about being involved in the Ambleside Business Review and we weren't mentioned but I hope we will be involved in it as well.
[NSHC]
[2] Um, the second thing is you will recall that we had a really enjoyable tea last year for the Queen Mother's 100th birthday on August the 4th, her actual birthday, and I was asking the other day if it would be possible to coordinate with Harmony Arts Festival again to make sure we could coordinate with them and not have any conflict[ing], to fit in, and we would love to do that on August 4th or if it's not convenient maybe [Sunday] August 5th this year.
Mayor: Have you been in touch with...
CR (because on Friday Mayor Wood had asked her to contact the Cultural Services Manager, she knew what he was about to ask): Oksana wasn't in her office today, but she left a note for me, I just spoke to her now
{Oksana was sitting in front of CR in the gallery}
Mayor: Oh, okay.
CR: and she said yes, she'll call me in the morning, so we'd be delighted if we can fit in with your [events] during that. Thank you very much and you'll all be invited of course.
[ADRA]
[3] We also want to thank Cclr Ferguson very much for the full report on the OCP Review and the efforts that the cmte is making to reach as many people as possible. A few weeks ago [cough, excuse me] Council passed a motion authorizing the [OCP] Select Cmte to have, quotation marks, "subcmtes of residents", and we would like to know what the status of this is please.
Mayor: Hm. Mr Manager, do you know the answer to that question?
MMgr: Your Worship, I believe that was authorization for the OCP Select Cmte to create subcmtes to look at a number of the reports that have been referred to them.
Cclr Ferguson: More specifically it was the Upper Lands Report. And subsequently we, um, the Select Cmte, did bring a proposal back to Council to alert you to the fact that we had in fact anointed all of the advisory commissions to Council as subcmtes initially. That doesn't exclude the Select Cmte from calling together other subcmtes for specific areas of the report should we feel there's a need to do that, but at present it has been referred to each of the advisory cmtes of Council, with specific areas referred to each cmte to take a look at and report back to the Select Cmte.
CR: Yes, well you will recall the original motion was to send it to the advisory cmtes and that was changed to subcmtes of residents, -- so that's all we wondered if you're going to, if it's still under discussion and plan, we look forward to the subcmtes of residents when you are ready to do that.
[ADRA]
[4a]
CR: Mayor Wood, you are aware that [after] a developer had made a presentation to the Advisory Planning Commission last week. He said at this meeting that the neighbours were favourably disposed to the 14-townhouse proposal. [and] Unfortunately the agenda indicated that the public input was welcome, and it was announced at [the beginning of] the meeting however that public would not be allowed to speak. And there was a representative there of, ah, he said he represented 89 households. He's in, he plans to be in Europe this week and it was particularly frustrating to have a developer say the residents are favourable when in fact their view is that they are quite happy with the present OCP zoning and, as you know, this is also the fourth time that the developer has tried to change it, and they wanted to correct the impression that they were favourable. And they had a petition, but as you know, they were ruled out of order. So I was asked, and there are a couple of the residents sitting in the audience today. The man who wrote the letter however was not available to come tonight so I would like to present with/to you the letter that they wrote plus the petition. If you would please accept this.

Mayor: Thank you.
[4b]
CR: Um. Then we have this. This does bring up the problem that you were kind enough to discuss with me on Friday of how to address the problem if residents are sitting in a meeting --
Mayor: That, that announcement is going to be made fairly shortly. As I mentioned to you, it is under review.
CR: Under review. Exactly.
Mayor: -- and there will be a statement that will be made to, that will be a public document -- very shortly -- prior to the meetings certainly, in September.
CR: Right. You understand the frustration when you're being misrepresented in a --
Mayor: Yes, I understand where the question is coming from --
CR: That's right, and however you want -- we'd be perfectly happy to discuss with you -- roles or guidelines or whatever that you thought that we could all be happy with --
Mayor: Okay.
CR: It is unfortunate because they do want to speak.
And in the meantime then, have a great summer, and we hope to see you at some things. I'll leave this for the Clerk.

================================================
{{This was followed up by a citizen observer, recognized by Mayor, who asked:}}
------------------
GP: To the matter of public input at commissions.
A number of us were attending meetings last week and
Mayor: Yes.
GP: and we were told both by Councillors of Council and Chairs that Council HAD made a decision that NO public input would be permitted.
Mayor: That statement will be made, that report will be issued fairly shortly
GP: I appreciate that and ---
Mayor: so you'll know exactly where you stand.
GP: It's not the issue per se that I wish to ask Council some questions about, it's the method in which this decision was promulgated. Now, it's my understanding that the procedures of cmtes and some commissions are governed by bylaws, and it was my understanding that if a bylaw was to be amended it should be done in an open council meeting so that the public can provide some input. Yet it seemed this decision was made behind closed doors, was communicated to these Chairs, and was enforced by the Chairs without going through the niceties of actually amending the bylaw formally. And that bothers me as a citizen, that decisions that amend bylaws passed by previous Councils seem to be happening behind closed doors. I wanted you to explain how this happened, and whether we could get a commitment from Council that if you decide to change the procedure bylaws for cmtes you will only do so in open Council and provide us an opportunity to provide input and not communicate these decisions in secret to cmte Chairs.
{Pregnant pause}
Mayor: Ah, Mr Manager, --
Cclr Wms (to speaker): He's wrong.
Cclr Durman: He's wrong. And that basically is, you're wrong.
Mayor: Let the Manager respond.
MMgr: Your Worship, Council commissioned a review of the cmtes and the structures, and included in that review was a question with respect to the role of the public. That report was dealt with in public by Council in a report from the Municipal Clerk in the spring of this year, and it was confirmed that the preferred role of public in the cmtes was that of observer.

{{Unfortunately the MMgr did not remember correctly. No report came to Council this year re public and cmtes, see note * at end of this for details. When asked for motion passed, staff produced a memo, dated Dec 12, only to have a review.}}

[MMgr continued:] Council directed staff to make the necessary changes to policy and bylaws. We have not made any changes to policy or bylaws at this point but will be coming back in September with recommendations for those changes and those will be dealt with in [the] public.
GP: So -- the Municipal Manager will communicate to the Chairs that in fact they are under a misapprehension if they believe the policy has changed
Cclr Wms grunted no.
GP: and that such changes will only occur through normal open Council, and what we heard last week was some miscommunication perhaps.
Cclr Wms: Council will communicate with the Chairs.
Mayor: Mr Manager.
MMgr: Your Worship, it's my understanding, and I'm just going off my memory here, that current Council policy --

Cclr Wms muttering: hasn't changed.
MMgr: -- only allows public input in fact at the request to the Chair and with the permission of the various Chairs and the cmtes. That hasn't, that hasn't been changed. Certainly, um, the law with respect to the openness of advisory meetings was revised when the Local Government Act was changed and in fact we've implemented all those appropriate changes. So, if there are any long term --
Mayor: as to them [sic] being open to the public.
MMgr: Yes. And in fact I've informed the cmtes of the changes with respect to the regulations, and as I mentioned as we go into the fall, very early in the fall, we'll be coming back with a report to identify what formal changes are required in either the policy or bylaw to implement the balance of the recommendations contained in the Municipal Clerk's report.
Mayor: There's certainly no intent to do anything, any changes behind closed doors.
GP: So then --
Mayor: It'll be open.
GP: -- what I was told by various Councillors and by Chairs that in fact Chairs were no longer even permitted to invite input from the public in accordance the Procedures Bylaw, that [rule] obviously was a misunderstanding on either my behalf or the Chairmen's behalf; and that's not the case, and Chairs can continue to act as they have in the past, pending further decisions by Council.
Mayor: I'm not sure I understand your question. But Commission Chairmen do not have to invite input from the public.
GP: No, they don't have to. But they have, currently according to the Procedures Bylaw, the right to do so.
Cclr Wms: Not under the bylaw, Sir. You're wrong. The bylaw has nothing to do with public participation in those meetings.
GP (reading): Section 58(d) of the Council Procedures Bylaw specifically grants cmte chairs the right to invite input at their discretion from the public.
Cclr Wms: Yeah.
GP: So I am right. Thank you.
Cclr Wms: Well, you're not right.
GP: Um, what's wrong with my interpretation of 58[(d)]?
Cclr Wms: Nothing.
GP: Thank you.
Cclr Wms: It's up to the Chairs to invite. And they're being encouraged not to.
Mayor: Mm.
Cclr Wms, sotto voce: Jesus!

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT, Ladies and Gentlemen.

Cclr Wms says the cmte Chairs are being encouraged NOT to invite the public to speak even though the Procedures Bylaw at this time (and has for some time) allows it. To all appearances the clampdown happened behind closed doors and the Chairs told since that announcement was made by Chairs at meetings the week starting July 16.

* There was NO motion changing this in the spring. There was a memo in December from the Municipal Clerk (who left a couple of months later) regarding a review of cmtes, their mandates, and other aspects. There is one line saying that the role of the public was to reflect "observer" status (the emphasis is in the memo). This would mean that the public cannot join in debate or vote; it does not necessarily mean that a member of the public would never be allowed to speak, or that a Chair could not invite a member of the public to speak.

This is going backward. What good is being open if you can't correct someone saying something incorrect about you, your neighbourhood, or your group?
--------------------------
For interest's sake, the definition from the UN follows and you will note (2) allows the observers to speak, and with reference to the petition the resident had regarding 2170 Chairlift for the APC (4) would mean it could have been given to the cmte.

United Nations FAO Resolution 43/57 on Observer Status

C. Status of observers

1. Observers from nations admitted to meetings of the Organization may be
permitted:

(1) to make only formal statements in Conference and Council plenaries and
in Commissions of the Whole, subject to the approval of the General
Committee of the Conference, or of the Council;

(2) to participate in the discussions of the commissions and committees of
the Conference and Council and in the discussions of technical meetings,
subject to the approval of the Chairman of the particular meeting and

without the right to vote;

the report of the particular meeting;

(4) to submit written statements on particular items of the agenda;

(5) to attend a private meeting of the Council or of a commission or

by the Conference or Council shall hold a private meeting, the Conference,
Council, commission or committee, subject to the provisions of the

Associate Members that are not members of the commission or committee and to
observers of non-member nations that have been invited to be represented at
the session of the commission or committee.

-------------------------------

OUTRAGEOUS that the public were forbidden to speak when bylaw not yet passed.
Since then we have asked and found that Cclr Soprovich agrees with the public having input and in conversation with Mayor Wood, he was sufficiently concerned that his public statement is that it is under review. That gives us hope that the rest can be brought round. He pointed out however that he was only one vote.

======================================================

Mayor: Any further questions from the audience?

- A few residents asked about the reopening of 1300/1400 Queens (opposed) but it had already been dealt with earlier.

The Mayor announced this was the last meeting before the recess (barring any emergency) and extended best wishes for the summer as well as encouraging everyone to enjoy the Harmony Arts Festival.

E UPDATES and Meeting Notes

= United Properties: Sch Bd / Sunset Highlands

UP has been granted interim protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act until Aug 16 (when it can be extended). They have downsized from 40 to 22 employees. The stated intention is that all BC projects under construction will be finished. [by whom? when?]

The WV connection:
You will recall United Properties was successful in upzoning Sunset Highlands from 36 single-family to 100 multifamily (and I've received complaints about the scouring of the hillside with loss of trees). They also were chosen by the School Board to do the proposed four-storey condo on their office site.

= OCP Review Select Committee Meetings [Report by ADRA member]

- July 19

Councillors present: Jeannie Ferguson (chair), John Clark, Ken Haycock. Staff: Elizabeth Starr, Steve Nicholls

There was consideration of whether to send a request for specific feedback
from the ratepayer groups along with the notes of the Ratepayer Roundtable
about to be distributed. It was determined that this would be more
appropriate later in the process.

The Upper Lands Report is being circulated to the advisory bodies with the
request that their comments be returned to the Select Committee by the end
of September.

{{Intentionally subverting Council's intention in their motion June 25?
We will be pursuing this because the motion to send to the adv bodies was replaced by sending to subcmtes first. This was a quasi-revival of the original motion! More back-door sneaking....}}

It is unlikely that there will be sufficient people available to staff a
booth at the Harmony Arts Festival, but a brochure dealing with the OCP
review process will be provided at the Harmony Arts information booth.

There was a discussion of what advice people should be given when they ask
how they may become involved in the process. The SC felt that people should
come to open houses, respond to the advertising in "Tidings" and join their
local ratepayers' association. There will be a community-wide survey
conducted after the open houses have taken place.

{{Great plug for the ratepayer associations! It is a solution to getting input from residents. We all know not everyone joins his local group but of those who do a high percentage vote and are interested in municipal affairs.}}

The structural draft of the "Vision" statement was not complete, so was
deferred to the following week (see below). It was noted that recognizable
community images should be used in the statement.

- July 26

Councillors Ferguson (chair), Clark, Haycock
Staff: Elizabeth Starr, Laura-Lee Richard.

The structure and presentation of the "Vision Statement" was discussed,
with reference made to an example from Toronto which was considered
effective.

The statement will be theme-based. There will be a basic "Mission
Statement" on the lines of "Who we are and who we want to be" which would
lead to visuals representing the various themes which would lead to in turn
to chapters in the document, with subchapters dealing with the various
strategies to achieve the goals.

In the production of the vision statement, various basic choices will need
to be made by the community.

One obvious theme will be lifestyle and health. There will need to be
choices about density, appropriate economic activity, and social
obligations. Such things as "trees vs views" and "segregation vs diversity"
will need to be addressed.

The values identified at previous meetings, such as the community leaders'
workshop and the Bowling Club will be incorporated

Regarding ongoing work, 90% of the work to be done during August can be
done by in-house staff. There will be a bus tour of the community for the
OCP Review group with a target of Sept 15th (possible alternative Sept
22nd) leading up to the next formal review group meeting on October 10th.
Community workshops will commence after that.

In response to a question, the SC noted that, although they are authorized
to form additional sub-committees of residents to review the Upper Lands
Report they will not determine whether this is necessary until they receive
the comments from the advisory bodies.

{{The motion was to do that INSTEAD of the advisory bodies at that time!!!!
Too bad their verbalized high opinion of the ratepayer groups does not extend to actually letting them have a seat at the table. Long-time readers will know that we felt the ratepayers should be part of the core, Review Group, rather than just adv bodies AND the Chamber of Commerce. Residents Rule!
Well, that's just our opinion. It's our homes after all, not our business or livelihood.}}

= West Vancouver Memorial Library Board

An ADRA member reports from the July 8 meeting:

The July Board meeting was scheduled for 8pm to allow time for the board to participate in a training session on how to improve the functioning of the board, led by a facilitator.

After administrivialities there was a discussion of the significant disruption during the replacement of shelving in the mezzanine and west areas of the Library. The shelving must be replaced as the current shelving does not meet seismic requirements (it can tip over on patrons and staff). As part of this the opportunity is being taken to replace a number of tables with a custom-designed set of 22 study carrels. The interior designer showed the design of the carrels including the laser etched maple wood laminate edging that brings in the architectural motif of the library and the special gable design features. She also explained the selection of three colours of inlaid carpet edging to "bring colour" to that portion of the library (including a 3" copper trim detail to bring the colours of the furniture walls and washroom doors together).

Finally the wing back chairs will be reupholstered so they match the new colour scheme of the carpet and study carrels. Other items discussed included not putting casters on the chairs so they are not moved away from the carrels; not needing special height for handicapped access since most wheelchairs now permit access to standard-height desks; not needing sound absorbing materials since the carrels are not high enough to dampen sound effectively regardless of their construction.

Signs will be posted to inform patrons of the sections (i.e. 700-799) that will be closed during the work and staff will endeavour when possible to obtain books in storage at patrons' request. Because each section will be closed and updated as quickly as possible it will not be possible to post a schedule for the work as a whole but the goal is to have everything done by early January.

The Finance committee reported that the tenders for the electrical work associated with the seismic shelving replacement project has come in under budget which might leave some money for wiring the study carrels with Internet access. Staff is looking into these costs and will report.

The Board has been allocated $157,500 by the District and another $232,500 is being provided by the WVML Foundation. The shelving contract (already approved) is $251,700 with the following contracts approved by the Board at this meeting:

Electrical $71,500
Furniture (remember the 22 laser-etched maple wood study carrels?) not yet known but approved subject to final costs not to exceed $40,000
Carpet edging (including the 3" copper-coloured inlaid trim that matches the new paint on the washroom doors) $7,700.

A motion to approve the funding of repairs to the carpet in other areas where electrical boxes are being removed from the floor without further reference to the board was about to be passed when another board member suggested that the words "as long as within budget" be added. It was approved as amended.

The issue of some patrons using the Internet terminals for many hours (moving from terminal to terminal to avoid detection by staff) thus depriving others of their use is being handled by new access software that tracks use by patron to prohibit more than one hour per day unless special permission granted.

One board member suggested better signage related to the loading zone. This was discussed briefly and will be handled in conjunction with other signage issues being handled by the Chief Librarian.

The Chief Librarian also reported that for the first time someone disposed of some beer in the overnight bookdrop with the resulting damage to two paperbacks.

At the end of the meeting your scribe suggested that the signage alerting patrons to the portions of the stacks closed for work ought to also indicate the next section planned for closure so patrons are forewarned. This suggestion was warmly received.

{{See -- the public can be helpful! ADRA strikes another blow for meaningful participation!}}

= Snippets -- APC and AFC

- APC, from meeting July 18.
Some of you may remember with all the kerfuffle over the western rec centre I suggested that with BPP wanting concessions when developing the Upper Lands, it would be a good opportunity, a win-win, for us to give them some and have them give land for a rec centre there, which would be in the west. Cclr Ferguson commented in Council that there was no fairy godmother who would give us the land.
Well, at that meeting a representative of BPP, when talking about creating whole communities in the Upper Lands and having land set aside for schools, parks, and so on, indeed said to me land for a rec centre would be great.
One downside of course is that the west does not want to wait BUT it would have saved Gleneagles and saved the $2m of moving Marine Drive.
A Park Czar, however, would see it as a northern rec centre. And when the population grows, good to be part of the system......

- AFC Meeting
At the one I attended last month comments were made about the audit cmte, the auditors, internal/external, that there may be the appearance of conflict of interest (if same company involved). We will pursue this.
We asked for the yearly work plan early this year. Cclr Durman said it wasn't ready so we asked for the previous year and Mayor Wood said yes but it has not yet appeared.
We have a cmte looking at reporting and of course we are now about to start on the new schedule for the budget consultation process. Please let us know if you have any questions or would like to be involved.

= Even More Horseshoe Bay Ferry Tales

- July 23

A brief discussion with the project manager for the BCFC terminal expansion at Horseshoe Bay this morning added clarification to the progress of the parking garage, the terminal building, and the location of the toll plaza. The essence of that informal conversation is given below.

    The parking garage capital cost is now budgeted at $12 million, up $3 million from the estimate given last year by BCFC. This capital cost accounts for 60 per cent of the $20 million cost of contracts let so far for the terminal expansion.

    The parking garage is to be owned by BCFC. The operator is not at present identified or known. This is contrary to the information BCFC gave out a year ago when it said at the public information meeting that the parking garage would be constructed and operated by a private consortium. At that time BCFC estimated that the overall project cost would be $30 million excluding the $9 million estimated cost for the parking garage. It is conceivable, but not confirmed, that the overall cost to BCFC might be in the neighbourhood of $42 million when all is said and done.

    The schedule of construction for the garage has slipped. The first phase of construction is now expected to be completed in October, and the second phase will commence about March of next year.

    The proposal that the upper deck of the parking garage be set back has been "mooted". The project management has explained that the proposal cannot be accommodated within the current design and is not practical from a technical point of view. Likewise, noise abatement measures, apart from those contemplated in the original design (traffic barrier parallel to the roadway and 'soft' attenuation by foliage), are not expected to be added to the project scope.

    The terminal building construction is to be finished by the end of December in time for occupancy from the first of January in the new year. The schedule is aggressive; but said to be necessary to accommodate BCFC's desire to move its staff into new quarters after the holiday period. The extensive concrete work is to be left exposed to view. The poor workmanship exhibited at numerous points where two lifts of concrete meet will have to be reworked. The building has considerable exposed concrete floors and patios. These will be cast during the wet autumn season. The completion may be delayed as a result, or the final cost may be higher if the scheduled occupancy date is to be met as planned.

    The toll plaza location will be at the juncture of Hwy 99 and Hwy 1. The highway widening work that is currently underway is in preparation for this construction. Only the blasting has been held up, but will have to be restarted shortly, probably after the Minister has deliberated on the Task Force's recommendations.

    Overall, little in the way of change has been made to the plans as set forth prior to the commencement of construction. The battle for the toll plaza location has been won by the residents, but, apart from this, BCFC appears to be on its way to realizing its goal of an expanded terminal according to its original capacity estimates.

- July 27

    PCL is erecting falsework and form panels for the first suspended parking deck in the parking garage, and installing drainage pipe and drain matting along the exterior base of the south and west walls of the garage. The elevator shaft formwork is erected and the reinforcing steel is being fixed in place. A section of wall has been cast in place on the north end of the garage. And, this week, PCL has been accessing the work site from Argyle Avenue, a residential street. During the public information meeting hosted last year by BCFC, and attended by Mr Lingwood, President of BCFC, a public and unequivocable undertaking was given by Mr Lingwood that neither BCFC nor its contractors would access the construction site via the residential streets. Contacted this week, the BCFC communications representative endeavoured to qualify the words of Mr Lingwood by saying that he meant "during the excavation of the site". Concerns have been expressed by the residents that Argyle is being turned into a major access route by PCL for dump trucks, excavators and front-end loaders. Will the neighbours have to navigate between concrete pumping trucks and lines of ready-mix concrete trucks to leave or reach their homes when the time comes for PCL to cast the suspended concrete slabs?

    The 25-foot high retaining wall to the east of Ron's Walk, south of the parking garage is taking shape. The footing for this wall was cast this week, and the erection of the precast concrete wall panels commenced on Thursday. The panels will be anchored into the roadway fill. For the moment the precast concrete panels are temporarily braced. The backfill will involve vibratory compacting, presumably, to allow the roadway to bear traffic. We can now see the outline of the roadway taking shape, and it is easily 30 feet to 40 feet closer to the residences. In light of the installation of the panel for the retaining wall, the proposal mooted by the Task Force to maintain the existing alignment of the Hwy 1 roadway as it presently exists, evidently has failed to impress BCFC or the Ministry.

    Progress on the terminal building is progressing. The BCFC project manager has set December as a completion date for this element of the project with a hand-over date of January 1.

   cremation interment followed by the full interment and then another
   cremation interment. However, you cannot have two cremation interments
   before the full interment.

How long does it take to engrave a columbaria niche front?
   Approximately 7 - 10 days. Cost of engraving $175.00 plus inurnment
   $135.00 + $21.70 GST = $331.70.
What kind of flowers can be put on a grave?
   Cut flowers or potted plants which fit into the flower container provided -

   single plots.
I would like to donate a granite bench, tree, and/or tree plaque. How do I arrange this?
     * For a granite bench, please write a letter to Glen Minaker, Park
       Facilities Manager requesting to donate a bench to be situated
       near Plot. Mr. Minaker will review your request and answer your
