DISCUSSION
Per Capita Funding
According to the 2012 British Columbia Public Libraries Statistics, the per capita provincial
average of local government support was $41.76. In the same year, the local government
support per capita received by the Gibsons & District Public Library (GDPL) was $43.30 with a
service population of 11,725 and $30.53 for the Sechelt Public Library (SPL) with a service
population of 16,022. This funding doesn’t include provincial or other sources, such as grants
and fees, but is strictly the funding from the local governments participating in the library
system. The Provincial per capita funding average for 2012 was $3.22 and is not included in
the local government amount. Staff contacted the Ministry on how they determine their per
capita funding, and at the time of this report, we still await a response. Libraries Statistics
information for 2013 was also not available.
The Roberts Creek (Area D) Library function (646) pays into the Gibsons & District Public
Library, the Sechelt Public Library, and contributes to the Roberts Creek Reading Room. In
2013, the Area D contribution to GDPL operating grant was $52,613, $58,439 to the SPL and
$11,162 went to the RC Reading Room, for a total of $122,213. The 2011 census reported the
population of Area D at 3,244, which would make the 2013 per capita for Area D $37.67. This is
($4.09) less, relative to the 2012 provincial average of $41.76. It is important to note that the
respective libraries are funded differently. For instance the GDPL is a Regional Library Service,
which Area D is a contributor, so in addition to the grant, the building maintenance is paid as
well as an administration cost. The SPL is not part of a Regional District funding model, and
receives funding through a historical percentage allocation versus through assessment.
Funding and Service Agreement Amendments
Within Section 4.0 ‘Terms’, item 4.1 outlines how modification of the agreement will be
addressed. In this revision, we added item 4.2 which specifically deal with a provision to modify
the funding allocation. Since one of the key objectives of the funding agreement was to provide
certainty of funding to the Library, any modifications to the allocation would still maintain the
total yearly funding, per Section 1.2, but allocations between the funders could change.
Staff reviewed both the arbitration and mediation clause and refined the wording to be more
concise. One of the key changes to the arbitration section of the agreement was the removal of
arbitration to be “administered by Mediate BC”. Upon more research, it was found that Mediate
BC doesn’t administer arbitration services. In Section 2.0, a ‘null assignment’ clause was
added, with the caveat that any mutually agreed upon change would be deemed a modification
and therefore, handled according to Section 4.0. We didn’t put a complete ‘no assignment’
provision, to allow the Library to benefit from any innovative ways to enhance services to users
within the framework of the Library Act and the Service agreement, in the future.
Signing Authorities
According to legislation, the official signing authorities for the Sunshine Coast Regional District
are the Chair and the Corporate Officer. However, we named the specific areas represented
within the Sunshine Coast Regional District and added a statement for the ‘Signatures’ section
to specifically name the funders on behalf of the agreement. Signatory lines were added beside
the authoritative signatures for the SCRD, in acknowledgment to the specific rural areas. The
funding apportionment and process to modify the funding commitment outlined in Section 1.2,
implies five separate funding entities as having input.

Feedback and next steps
A copy of the above motion (358/13) and the revised agreement was sent to the Sechelt Indian
Government District and the District of Sechelt for comment. At the date of this report, no
additional feedback was provided, and according to the SIGD staff, they’re awaiting the final
proposed draft before forwarding to their council for approval. If the Committee no longer has
any issues with the revised agreement, Staff recommend that the agreement be forwarded to
the Board for approval and that the Chair and Corporate Officer, along with the specific SCRD
area Directors. We would also forward the resolution and MOU to the other parties for approval
and signatures.

SCRD STAFF REPORT
DATE:
September 4th, 2013
TO:
Corporate and Administrative Services Committee Sept. 26th, 2013
FROM:
Peter Longhi, Chief Building Inspector and Bylaw Manager
RE:
Gull Nesting Mitigation System for Gibson’s Library
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.
THAT the report from the Chief Building Inspector regarding gull
mitigation on Gibson’s library roof be received for information, and,
2.
AND THAT the Board approve a 2013 Financial Plan amendment in the
amount of $15,000 to the Gibsons and Area Library function (640) and
funded from reserves, for a bird mitigation system.
BACKGROUND
In the geographic area of Gibson’s library there have been a number of roof replacements on
commercial buildings causing local bird populations to look for other suitable locations for
protection from the elements. As it happens, the roof area at the Gibson’s library with protected
overhanging roof and sunken flat roof, (for accommodation of HVAC units to keep them out of
site), has appealed to sea gulls as an attractive refuge from the elements. Further to this, it has
become so attractive that they have chosen this roof to begin a nesting colony.
As of late, there have been no less than 100 birds and 60 nests with eggs hatching in the
months of August and young taking flight in late August and September.
The Gulls are extremely territorial when nesting and very aggressive to those wanting to have
them displaced. The odor emanating from decaying food and bird feces has given the Library
great concern over air quality as the intake/makeup air for air conditioning is also on the roof.
Apparently the Gulls are a federally protected species and cannot legally be disposed of. There
are serious fines for killing birds or eggs and accordingly enough time must pass to allow the
young to leave the nest, providing a window of opportunity to install a mitigation device(s). The
federal fine for killing a Gull is $100 per bird or egg.
19
DISCUSSION
The SCRD has been in contact with Pest Control companies and it seems that the only effective
way to eliminate the return of the birds long term is through the installation of a series of
stainless steel mechanical deterrents that move with the wind. The roof area involved is 50 by
110 feet and according to the pest control firm approximately 150 of these deterrent
mechanisms are required. The cost of these units including installation are outlined in the
attached quote as well as clean up costs to remove the nests and other debris.
Other means of deterring the bird return that were explored with limited success history on other
buildings according to the pest control contractor are as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Ultra sonic noise generators-high frequency only audible to birds.
Artificial Owls- works well initially but birds get used to the presence
Bird “panic noise” simulators – birds eventually get used to this
Nets- effective and long term, but more expensive and will create an equipment
servicing issue.
5. Flying drone simulated predators- requires an operator to control
Staff recommend that the proposed method of bird deterrent be the preferred choice for this
building. There are other buildings in the area that are apparently suffering from the same
invasion. If there are some economies gleaned from a possible larger scale mitigation
program, staff will explore any savings and advise the Committee.

SCRD STAFF REPORT
DATE:
August 14, 2013
TO:
Corporate and Administrative Services Committee – September 26, 2013
FROM:
Tina Perreault- Treasurer
RE:
2014 BASE BUDGET AND GOAL SETTING
RECOMMENDATION
THAT the Treasurers’ report regarding the 2014 Base Budget and Goal Setting be
received;
AND THAT the Board approve an up to 1.0% inflationary increase to the 2014 Net
Operating Base budget;
BACKGROUND
In the fall of each year, Staff presents preliminary budgetary information on significant changes
affecting the upcoming Base Budget, taxation, and support services. This information doesn’t
contain any impacts of assessment changes, as the information is not available from BC
Assessment until the end of December.
DISCUSSION
Current Situation
To date, Budget Manager’s have not formally revised their respective 2014 Budgets for
refinement, since this is traditionally done after the Board has provided direction on the Net
Operating Budget. However, planning and review has begun. Finance Staff started the first
revision to current wage rates, debt schedules, and items approved throughout 2013 that impact
the budget. Noteworthy items are as follows:
 Collective agreement wage rates
o Increase of 1.75% with related benefit & WCB which affect all functions. This is
up $212,151 over 2013, and recovered through taxation, user rates, and support
services.
 2013 One Time Reductions
o General Government - Add back one-time tax reduction (increase $33,000)
o Recreation Facilities- Sechelt Arena repair closure (increase $45,000)
o Ports – Full capital maintenance budget of $85,000 (increase $40,000)
 Required Revenue- projects from 2013 to be funded in 2014
o Recreation Facilities – Accessibility & legal costs ($67,000)

Staff Report to Corporate & Administrative Services Committee
2014 Base Budget and Goal Setting
Page 2 of 3
There have been reductions in some operating budgets, such as Community Recreation with
the elimination of the equipment and fixtures lease, and adjustment for repayment of the internal
LUA ($170,406 decrease). This has helped offset the impact of the increases as noted above.
Other budgets that show a reduction are generally due to one-time projects funded from
taxation in the prior year, and items that were not approved for incorporation of the 2014
Financial Plan, but will require direction, such as the Sechelt Youth Centre funding ($40K).
Based on these changes, overall Ad Valorem taxes increases 1.31% over 2013 (see table
below).
It is important to note recent developments with the Transit Future Plan and Multi Materials BC,
and the impact it may have on taxation for the coming Financial Plan.
Net Operating Budget
Net operating base budget is defined as the prior year’s base budget excluding administrative
support, salaries, benefits, transfers and debt payments. To date, the Vancouver Consumer
Price Indices (CPI), as at the end of July, 12-month average percent change is up 0.4% over
2012, with the Canadian average up 1.0% (Source: BC Stats-July 2013). The August results
have not been posted, but are anticipated to increase over July. BC Hydro has also just
announced a possible significant rate increase, which could have major impacts on some
budgets, even though many efforts are being made to reduce energy costs in the organization.
Therefore, Staff recommend that the Board approve an up to 1.0% inflationary increase to
the 2014 Net Operating Budget.
If the Board decides to provide an inflationary increase to the Net Operating Base Budget for the
upcoming Budget year, this percentage will be translated into a dollar amount per Budget by the
Finance Division and provided to the Budget Managers as an “up to” maximum amount
available for consideration. As done this past year, Budget Managers will incorporate any
increases to Net Operating Base Budget, on line items that cannot be internally controlled (such
as fuel, insurance and utility rates). At the commencement of Round 1, the Treasurer provides a
Summary Report to the Board on the overall increase used per Budget with a highlight of which
line items were affected. An overall amount and percentage taken for all SCRD functions will
also be presented.

Support Services
Support Services preliminary increase is $38,698 over 2013. Most of the increases are due to
collective agreement wage increases. Other increases are in 114-Field Road for the raise in
‘transfer to reserve’ ($10K), and lease cost effects in 117-Information Technology. Reductions
in Corporate Sustainability are due to only 2 months wages included for the Corporate Energy
manage, which needs to be addressed.
Summary
Staff recommend that decisions pertaining to budget increases should focus firstly on
maintaining existing service levels and to establishing the appropriate level of funding to
maintain the existing assets in an optimal condition.
Increases to service or other
enhancements should be considered as extras which will result in an additional increase to
taxation or fees. Decreases, not already identified, are also a consideration, but should be
considered non-sustaining or reductions to the existing service levels.
Staff requests that the Board provide direction on an inflationary increase to net operating base
budget for 2014 as well as additional goals and objectives the Board has for the coming budget
process. This may include direction on taxation thresholds, which may assist Staff in
preparation for upcoming Budget Proposals.
Once a recommendation is received, as to the maximum for 2013, the “Base Budget” will be
open to managers to refine and add detail.

TO:
Corporate and Administrative Services Committee – September 26th, 2013
FROM:
RE:
2014 BUDGET PROCESS AND FINANCIAL PLAN TIMETABLE
RECOMMENDATION(S)
THAT the Treasurer’s report regarding the ‘2014 Budget Process and Financial Plan
Timetable’ be received;
AND THAT the three rounds of budget meetings are set for the following dates:
 Round 1 – January 20, 21, & 22 (Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday)
 Round 2 - February 17, 18 & 19th (Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday)
 Round 3 – March 10, 11 and 12th (Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday).
AND FURTHER THAT the approved timetable be distributed to the Member Municipalities
and Community Stakeholders.
BACKGROUND
Each year, a de-brief meeting is scheduled to discuss the prior year’s budget process,
identifying where improvements or changes can be made for the following year. This past year,
both managers and the Board commented that the 2013 budget process was successful in
moving toward a more efficient budget process, as targeted in the 2012/13 SCRD Strategic
Plan. As a result, resolution 207/13, Rec. 3- 6 were adopted at the May 9, 2013 Regular Board
Meeting, excerpts as follows:
207/13 cont.
Base Budget Policy
THAT staff provide alternate wording for the Base Budget Policy to define
“where appropriate” for the next Corporate and Administrative Services
Committee Meeting.
Budget Process
THAT the budget process remains as three rounds of budget for the 2014
budget cycle;
AND THAT staff continue to develop efficiencies in the budget process.
Budget Proposals
THAT staff provide options to clarify and differentiate between the relevance of
the categorizing system (Safety, Asset Failure and Compliance) and the
numerical rating (priority) contained in the Budget Proposal rating system at a
future Corporate and Administrative Services Meeting.
Budget Documents
THAT reporting of grant recipient details be presented with the respective
budgets, similar to the reporting for the Grant-in-Aid Functions and Libraries.

Page 2 of 3
DISCUSSION
Base Budget Policy
It was suggested that wording be added to the current “Base Budget Policy” to add clarity on
“where appropriate”. The previous version, stated the following:
“For Round 1 Budget, Budget Managers will incorporate any increases to Net Operating Base Budget,
where appropriate.”
Staff revised the policy statement to say the following:
i.
In the fall of each year, if the Board decides to provide an inflationary increase to the Net
Operating Base Budget for the upcoming Budget year, this percentage will be translated into
a dollar amount per Budget by the Finance Division and provided to the Budget Managers as
an “up to” maximum amount available for consideration. For Round 1 Budget, Budget
Managers will incorporate any increases to Net Operating Base Budget, on line items
that cannot be internally controlled (such as fuel, insurance and utility rates). At the
commencement of Round 1, the Treasurer will provide a Summary Report to the Board on
the overall increase used per Budget highlighting which line items were affected. An overall
amount and percentage taken for all SCRD functions will also be presented.
Budget Process and Financial Plan Timetable
At the 2013 budget de-brief, it was proposed to amend the current budget from a three round
(January, February, and March) to a two round process (February and March). It was decided
that for the 2014 cycle, a three round process would be maintained. On that basis, Staff
propose the following dates for the three rounds of budget review, shown in the “Financial Plan
Timetable” (Attached), which are as follows:




Round 1 – January 20, 21, & 22 (Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday)
Round 2 – February 17, 18 and 19th (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday)
Round 3 – March 10, 11 and 12th (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday).
Budget Bylaw Adoption- March 27th (Thursday)
Once the dates are adopted by the Board, Staff recommend that the timetable be distributed to
the Member Municipalities and other Community Stakeholders.
Budget Proposals
In the past, there has been some confusion as to the ‘Rating’ criteria for the Budget Proposals.
The previous template had 2 sections for criteria, which looked like this:
Proposed Enhancement / Project / Reduction
NAME OF ITEM
Rating (see Diagram +3 to -3):
+ / - # Description
If Mandatory specify category above:
MANDATORY - # Category
The suggested presentation for the 2014 Budget proposals is to include only one line for
‘Rating’ criteria, since ‘Mandatory’ is also considered a rating.
Proposed Enhancement / Project / Reduction
NAME OF ITEM
Rating:
Choose an item.

2014 Budget Process and Financial Plan Timetable
Page 3 of 3
The Appendix- ‘Budget Proposal Category & Rating’ from the Budget Manual, will be included in
the section 1 documents for reference. Managers will have an option of selecting the increase +
or decrease – range, or the mandatory criteria.
Budget Proposals will also be sorted based on priority. Therefore, items that are considered
mandatory will appear first.
Budget Documents
In addition to the grant-in-aids, functions like the Museum and the economic development, have
multiple funding recipients. The financial budget documents only provide the aggregate
distribution and not the detail of all the recipients. So in 2014, detail will be provided in each of
the budget rounds, similar to how the grant-in-aid is reported.

DEPARTMENTAL WORK PLANS
Page 2
DISCUSSION
As part of the Budget Process, in the fall of each year, a Special Corporate and Administrative
Committee is schedule. The sole purpose of the meeting is to report on Departmental Work
Plans & project carry forwards for the current and proposed budget year. This process helps
both Staff and the Board to determine if outstanding work is still a priority and if it needs to be
carried-forward into the next year for completion. It establishes the impact of incomplete
projects on upcoming capacity and resources. At that same time, proposed initiatives that have
been identified throughout the year, either through the Strategic Plan, Committee, or other
means, will be presented. This will give manager’s direction for future operational plans as well
as guide the 2014 Budget proposal. If more information or discussion is required on a specific
item, timing permits that the issue be referred to a future Committee meeting, prior to the
Budget meetings.
All functions that have Carry-Forward projects will also report to the meeting in order to include
the items in the 2014 Budget. Carry forward projects do not have a financial or taxation impact
for the following year’s Budget. However, they do impact staff and other resources. Remaining
unused funding for the project is carried over to the following year. This is highly monitored and
tracked by Manager’s and Finance, and only the amount allocated and unspent is included in
next year’s budget. The specific amounts may not be finalized until the end of January when
the year end process is complete Therefore, requests for Carry Forwards will focus on the
projects status to date, not the specific dollar amount to be included in the 2014 Budget.
If the Committee is in agreement, Staff asks that the following Special Corporate and
Administrative Committee- Work Plan & Carry-Forward meetings, be approved for the following
dates:
 Infrastructure and Planning & Development Committee Functions- Thursday October 31,
2013 (9:30am-4:30pm) and
 Community and Corporate Services Committee Functions- Friday November 1, 2013

SCRD STAFF REPORT
DATE:
September 12, 2013
TO:
FROM:
RE:
Communications & Engagement Plan for 2014 Budget
RECOMMENDATION(S)
THAT the Treasurer’s report regarding “Communications & Engagement Plan for 2014
Budget” be received;
AND THAT the Board approve the 2014 Budget Process Communication plan as
presented;
AND THAT the Board approve two ‘2014 Budget Town Hall Meetings’ to be held in
December 2013, as a pilot project, at Frank West Hall and Coopers Green;
AND THAT the Board approve up to $3500 for the Communication and Engagement Plan
implementation, to be recovered in 2014;
AND FURTHER THAT the 2013 Financial Plan for Finance (function 113) be amended
accordingly.
BACKGROUND
The SCRD values are collaborative decision making; engagement and communication;
transparency and accountability; responsive public service; financial sustainability; and fairness
and equity. In updating the Financial Sustainability section 2013-2014 targets of the SCRD
Strategic Plan, “Developing a communication and engagement program for all communities
regarding the annual budget” was added as a target regarding the objective of “implementing an
effective annual budget process”. The timeline was from 2013 to the end of 2014.
DISCUSSION
The current methods of communicating and engaging the public with regards to our budget
process are as follows:

advertisement of open budget meetings through website and newspaper publications,
such as Coast Current advertisement, stating everyone is welcome;

after Round 2 of the budget, public presentations are done at Field Road, and the 3
member municipalities;

Coast Cable hosts a local government segment and views a recorded version of the
public presentation at the start of the program. Members of the public can call in to ask
questions of the Board on topics relating to the budget;

Developing an Asset Management Plan
Page 2 of 2

for the 2013 Budget, staff updated the public presentation slides with final budget
information, as well as all the Section 1 analytical information, and offered it on our
website;

Every round of the budget documents is available on the website.
It is difficult for some people to attend our budget meetings for various reasons and we must
look to other ways of reaching out to the different sectors of the community. Our process must
include an opportunity for exchange of information in as well as out when it comes to our
budget. While our current process does some of that, it has some limitations. For example,
only those customers subscribing to Coast Cable have access to the televised broadcast.
Staff developed a communication plan (Attachment A), which describe suggested activities and
events to move toward engaging our community more on the budget process. The creation of a
dedicated email address (budget@scrd.ca) for the budget is intended to encourage questions
and feedback. If the questions can’t be answered by staff, they will be forwarded to Directors or
presented at a Committee or Budget Meeting. We will also be including more detail on what will
be discussed each day of the budget deliberations, through various methods (website, Twitter,
newspaper and radio communication).
Staff propose we also have ‘Budget Town Hall Meetings’, where both staff and the Board
attend, in an effort to engage and educate the different communities throughout the Regional
District on our budget process and the services that we provide in their community. The format
would be a short 20 minute presentation on our process; ‘what we do’; methods the public can
get involved; overview of what’s coming to 2014 budget (items approved at pre-budget work
plan meetings); and a questions/answer period. Staff suggest offering two meetings in early
December, as a pilot project, and that they be held in Frank West Hall and Coopers Green. To
reach out to those people in the community who are not able to attend, the town hall meetings
could be recorded and put on the SCRD ‘YouTube’ channel. This would be posted on our
website and viewed at anytime.
Since there are no funds in this year to start, we will require a 2013 budget amendment.
Amounts approved for a pilot in 2013 for filming/video streaming will be used for the ‘town hall’
and ‘public presentation’ previously taped by Coast Cable. Additional funds are required for
radio and newspaper ads, printing/mailing costs; hall rental, and meeting expenses. Existing
staff will be used for this proposed campaign and a follow up report will be presented at the
‘2014 Budget De-brief” meeting. Therefore, we recommend the Board approve up to $3500 for
the 2014 budget communication and engagement plan, to be recovered through the 2014
support services-finance.
This plan will evolve over time, focusing on how we reach out to the community on our budget.
Our current process is being enhanced and our goal is to reach out to the population as a whole
and hear from more than the vocal majority.

2014 Budget Process Communications Plan
Project Background
This Communications Plan comes as a result of the 2013-2014 Strategic Plan proposed target to
develop a communications and engagement program for all communities regarding the annual budget.
Purpose
This 2013-2014 Budget Process Communications Plan outlines the overall approach for communicating
with stakeholders about the 2013-2014 budget. It outlines preliminary key messages, defines key
audiences, timelines and describes the communications activities which will be used to make
stakeholders aware of the budget process and key budget issues.
Communication Objectives:
 To increase public awareness and understanding of the 2014 budget forecast
 To ensure that stakeholders are aware of the process, timelines and key decision-making points
that will be used to develop the 2013-2014 budget;
 To promote public discussion on the implications of budget decisions
Budget:
Proposed $2500
Key Messages:
1. Round 1 of budget meetings begin in January 2014.The purpose of these meetings is for the SCRD
Board to review each function’s current base budget, preliminary surplus/deficit position for prior
year, and review all the budget proposals that will be used to develop the 2014 budget. Decisions
on certain proposed items can be made at this time.
Round 2 is held in February and starts with a review status after Round 1. During Round 2,
discussions for further amendments may be identified. At the end of Round 2, including any
identified amendments should be a close representation of the desired final Budget.
Round 3 will be held in March. Following the direction provided in Round 2, the budget will be
amended by Finance staff and reproduced for review in Round 3. The Round 3 budget, when
reviewed, should be substantially complete based on direction provided in the previous two rounds.
Round 3 is the final opportunity for the Board to make changes to the budget in preparation for its
adoption.
If you would like additional information about our budget, our budget process or timelines, please
visit our website at www.scrd.ca/budget.
2. We care about your concerns… if you have thoughts or ideas relating to the 2013-2014 budget,
we’d like to hear from you. Everyone is welcome to participate in our public budget committee
meetings. Over the course of the year we will be reaching out to the community for input as well as
budget information sessions. You can find out more from our website, or you can contact us at
budget@scrd.ca.

3. The community is always our primary focus and we are committed to offering programs and
services that meet the needs of the community. We make efficient, effective, and innovative use of
resources, based on sound planning, and the best available information. The budget allocates
available resources to address the community’s needs.
Branding and Visual Identity
The following logo has been developed for use on all communications messages related to the 20132014 budget. The graphic provides a visual identity which will help to differentiate budget messages
from other SCRD information. The logo is intentionally “no-frills” in design and is intended to create a
clean, clear visual identity.

life for its residents; therefore be it
RESOLVED That affordable housing (including family and low income worker housing) be
included as an eligible investment category for local government infrastructure grants.
Sunshine Coast Regional District, BC
FCM’s current position on Gas Tax Fund (GTF) and Building Canada Fund (BCF) is that any
project within municipal jurisdiction should qualify for infrastructure grants. This position was
recognized in the Federal government’s 2013 budget which significantly increased the number
of GTF eligible project categories, including housing.
However, since Canada faces both an infrastructure deficit and a housing crisis, it is important
to ensure that the Government of Canada develops a long-term, predictable housing plan in
addition to the recent announcements in Budget 2013. Municipalities already face significant
infrastructure challenges that exceed what existing federal funding can address. Including
housing as an eligible category for GTF eligibility must not be seen as an appropriate
replacement for dedicated housing investments.

RE:
RURAL AREAS GRANT-IN-AID APPLICATION FROM WILLIAMSON LANDING FIRE
PROTECTION SOCIETY
RECOMMENDATION(S)
THAT the Treasurer’s report regarding Rural Areas Grant-In-Aid Application from
Williamson Landing Fire Protection Society be received;
AND THAT the Board direct staff regarding this application;
AND FURTHER THAT, if the Board agrees to fund this Grant-In-Aid application that
payment be made as soon as possible.
BACKGROUND
In August of 2013 Williamson Landing Fire Protection Society applied for Rural Areas Grant-inAid in the amount of $1,000. Director Turnbull requested that the application be added to the
September 26, 2013 agenda for discussion.
DISCUSSION
The Williamson Landing Fire Protection Society requests Rural Areas Grant-in-Aid funding to
replace one of three fire pumps for the Williamson Landing Area as the one pump is not
functioning and the remaining two pumps are inadequate to serve the Landing.
For reference, staff have attached the Rural Areas Grant-in Aid Budgets by Area spreadsheet
updated to September 2013.

Dear Ms. Crosby and Ms. Turnbull,
Re: Exceptional Grant-in-Aid application for the Williamsons Landing Fire Protec
tion
Society 2013 (AreaF)
The Williamsons Landing Fire Protection Society (the Society) would like to
apply for
exceptional funding from the Grant-In-Aid program for 2013. The Society purcha
ses and
maintains fire equipment for the residents of Williamsons Landing. The Landin
g is
outside the regular fire protection district and the properties are not all accessible
by road.
The Society has three fire pumps to serve the Landing. One of the pumps is not
currently
functional. The two remaining pumps are inadequate to serve the Landing.
We are requesting $1000 from the Grant-In-Md program to purchase a new
pump as
soon as possible.
Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to contact me if you require any
further information.
Sincerely,
Andrea Townson
Director, Williamsons Landing Fire Protection Society

Project: Fire pump replacement
Current status: There are 3 fire pumps at Williamsons Landing. All pumps undergo
maintenance on an annual basis. Each pwnp is removed for maintenance and returned to
its location. Ian Winn has been coordinating all of the maintenance through Coastline
Powersports.
One pump is currently non-functional and needs to be replaced. The repair estimate for
the pump is over $800. A replacement pump would cost between $850 and $1000.
Budget: $1000
Plan: Purchase new fire pump rather than tiy to repair old pump. Apply to SCRD for a
mid-cycle grant-in-aid for the new pump. The Society currently has approximately $500
in its account, but this money will be required for ongoing pump maintenance
($200/year) and for ongoing incidental expenses related to firefighting equipment.

Title: heart gardener
Describe your organization’s purpose and goals and
how your programs and services help you to achieve these.
The Heart Gardens is a public community eco-education site
featuring plants with a history of use by Coastal First Peoples.
The gardens and eco-education center educate people about
sustainable practices, bioregional ecology, and permaculture.
They inspire people to fall in love with nature and to learn how to
live more in harmony with it. The eco-education center features
many free learning resources including maps of the gardens that
allow people to do self-guided tours through them. These maps
have been printed by the SCRD in the past and our hope is that
these educational materials on display in the Heart Gardens and
63
given freely from the eco-education center will again be printed
by the SCRD. Using signage and maps, the heart gardens
allows people of all ages and education levels to find learning
opportunities and do self guided tours of the gardens. There are
also free garden tours and free permaculture intro courses
offered from the gardens.
Explain how your project will benefit either the “Local” or
“Regional” Community.
The gardens, and the maps this proposal for printing is about,
will help educate the local community and its many global visitors
about sustainable land use practices, native plants, cultural
history and permaculture. This will help inspire people to have a
more direct relationship to nature and consider lowering their
ecological footprint. The compost education site, community
demonstration gardens inspiring people to grow food in all four
seasons, and rain barrel demonstrate low cost, effective and
practical ways Coastal Residents can achieve these goals. The
heart gardens generates many free open source learning and
teaching tools including a native plant card deck and
permaculture workbook that are shared globally to benefit the
Planetary Community.
Describe how the requested grant money will be used.
The Grant money will be used by the SCRD to print 4 large heart
maps for display in the Heart Gardens and 200 smaller maps
that are given freely to local, regional and global visitors who
want to learn more about bioregional ecology, sustainability, food
security and permaculture.

ATTACHMENTS:
I am the gardener of the Heart Gardens and am paid to do so by
the land owners. The eco-education center is given rent free and
there is no money / budget I financial statement for it or my
independent educational efforts that are based there. I
personally purchase educational resources that are freely shared
from there, and local green organizations donate eco
educational media that is given out freely from there as well. I
also give free tours and intro to permaculture classes.

SCRD STAFF REPORT
DATE:
September 12th, 2013
TO:
Corporate Services Committee- September 26, 2013
FROM:
Carleen McDowell- Parks Services Manager
RE:
ROBERTS CREEK COMMUNITY USE ROOM- 2ND DRAFT AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION(S)
THAT the Parks Services Manager’s report regarding the Roberts Creek Community Use
Room- Agreement be received;
AND THAT the Community Services Committee recommends that the Board authorizes
the Corporate Officer and Chair to sign the License Agreement between the SCRD and
School District No. 46 regarding the use of the Roberts Creek School Community Use
Room.
BACKGROUND
At the September 12th, 2013 regular meeting of the Board the following recommendation was
adopted:
Roberts Creek Community Use Room Agreement
The Community Services Committee recommended that the report from the Parks
Services Manager regarding the Roberts Creek Community Use Room Agreement be
received;
AND THAT staff seek clarification from School District 46 (SD46) regarding Section 2 of
the agreement regarding “used to offset costs”; Section 4 regarding “bumping”; a clause
be added that if SD46 is using the school at the same as the Community Use Room,
notification be given to the SCRD so cost sharing can be negotiated; and, marketing
strategy for the Community Use Room;
AND FURTHER THAT staff work with the SD46 on the agreement and an updated
report be placed on the September 26, 2013 Corporate and Administrative Services
Committee meeting.
DISCUSSION
Attached is the second draft of a funding agreement for consideration by the Board. The
agreement has been modified based feedback at Sept 5th Community Services committee and
subsequent conversations with SD46 staff since then. Modifications in the agreement are noted
with highlighting and BOLD.
71
Community Services Committee
Roberts Creek Community Use Room - Agreement
Page 2
Staff went thru each item in the board recommendation and addressed each section below.
Clarification from School District 46 (SD46) regarding Section 2 of the agreement regarding
“used to offset costs”;
The $4000 was planned to cover staffing costs and increased utility costs having school
open/heated etc an additional day in the week. So changing the wording in section 2 just
to read ‘staff’ costs is problematic to them signing agreement.
SD46 Staff included Section 2.
The SCRD recognizes that the cost for SD46 to hire an 8-hour custodian each Saturday
during the school year exceeds $8,000, which does not include potential overtime
payments for replacement staff.
Section 3 now reads
“funds shall be used to offset operational costs” where previously it just stated to ‘offset costs’
Staff feel this is reasonable as it is consistent with past communication on cost share (labor,
heat, maintenance)
Staff seek clarification from School District 46 (SD46) regarding Section 4 regarding “bumping”;
SD46 Staff suggested the following wording for Section 5
Both parties understand that this agreement is on a trial basis for one school year to be
evaluated prior to March 31. A mid-year cancellation by the SCRD may result in the
refund of a portion of the funding, through discussions between the parties and subject
to SD46 operational requirements.
Staff suggest this will give a recourse to refund should the contract be cancelled
A clause be added that if SD46 is using the school at the same as the Community Use Room,
notification be given to the SCRD so cost sharing can be negotiated;
SCRD staff did discuss this with SD46 staff and below is the suggested wording back
from SD46 in Section 4.
It is understood that other portions of the school may be in use or be rented out by SD46,
which shall have no bearing on this agreement. Other uses of the school will not
interfere with the hours of availability and use of the Community Use Room.
The agreement was for the use of the Community Use Room and the Gym. It would be
reasonable to assume that be the position of the SD as they are also covering a portion of the
costs. Having the school available for a variety of activities is beneficial to the community.
72
Community Services Committee
Roberts Creek Community Use Room - Agreement
Page 3
Marketing strategy for the Community Use Room
There will be notice on School District’s website that the Community Use Room is available
for bookings. A recommendation was made at the July 25th Board meeting to enter into an
agreement with the Community School to do a Marketing Strategy, meeting is scheduled for
Sept 26. The school district has the room available for renting and we will do a joint press
release as soon as we have agreement signed.
As mentioned at previous meetings in September this person is already in place at the school
on the weekends so time is of the essence to get things formalized.

year, distributed 3/10ths ($1200) in September and 7/10ths ($2800) in January. This funding is
up to June 2014 which is the term of this agreement. This agreement and funding will
automatically renew for an additional school year unless the Regional District informs SD46, in
writing, of its intent to terminate the agreement prior to March 31 of any year.
2. The SCRD recognizes that the cost for SD46 to hire an 8-hour custodian each Saturday
during the school year exceeds $8,000, which does not include potential overtime

3. SD46 acknowledges and agrees that the funds shall be used to offset operational costs to
have the Roberts Creek School Community Use room available on Saturdays for a minimum 7
hours of public use during the school year, subject to SD46 operational requirements. SD46
will administer bookings of the room and will assist the Regional District with its marketing
efforts to encourage increased community use of the facility such as promotion on SD46

charge users for the cost of the regular Custodial staff on Saturdays during its regular
hours of opening.
4. The SD 46 shall repay funds if they are used contrary to this agreement. It is understood that
other portions of the school may be in use or be rented out by SD46, which shall have
no bearing on this agreement. Other uses of the school will not interfere with the hours
of availability and use of the Community Use Room.
5. Both parties understand that this agreement is on a trial basis for one school year to be
evaluated prior to March 31. A mid-year cancellation by the SCRD may result in the
refund of a portion of the funding, through discussions between the parties and subject
to SD46 operational requirements.
6. SD46 may terminate this agreement at any time by delivering written notice to the SCRD
and will return a pro rata portion of the funding. SD46 will give as much advance
notice as is reasonably possible.

Subject: 153884: local government elections
Ref:
153884
Dear Chair and Board Members:
As Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, I am committed to ensuring that
local government elections are modernized in keeping with the joint Provincial and Union of
British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) Local Government Elections Task Force recommendations.
The intended changes are the most significant in nearly two decades, and reflect considerable
consultation undertaken by the Task Force with the public, local governments and other
organizations.
Changes are intended to be implemented in two phases. First, Government intends to put
forward a Bill in the spring of 2014 that implements all of the Task Force recommendations
except expense limits for the 2014 local elections. The focus will be on transparency,
accountability, compliance and enforcement. Second, a stakeholder outreach process on
expense limits will be initiated in November 2013 with a view to implementing expense limits
for the 2017 elections. It was felt that expense limits could not reasonably be implemented
in 2014 due to the complexity of introducing such changes for candidates, elector
organizations and third party advertisers in a local election year.
The new rules -For the 2014 elections will be consolidated in a proposed new Act for campaign
finance. Some highlights of the proposed legislation include:
•
Disclosure and registration by third-party advertisers;
•
Sponsorship information to be required on all election advertising;
•
Campaign finance disclosure statements to be filed 90 days after the election rather
than 120 days; and
•
Banning anonymous contributions.

The proposed legislation will also enable a key role for Elections BC in compliance and
enforcement of campaign finance rules in local elections.
As a former councillor myself, I know how important it is for election participants to be
fully aware of the proposed changes well in advance of the November 15, 2014 local elections.
To that end, my ministry will release a White Paper on Local Government Elections Reform in
early September.
I encourage you to follow the link to the Ministry’s website below and read the White Paper
once it is posted: www.localgovelectionreform.gov.bc.ca Meetings will be held with key
groups such as UBCM executive to review the White Paper and to seek input on the clarity and
workability of the proposed changes. Written comments on the White Paper can also be
provided until October 23, 2013.
I look forward to meeting you at UBCM Convention in Vancouver next month.
Sincerely,
Coralee Oakes
Minister

To the Sunshine Coast Regional District Corporate Services Committee:
The team at deer crossing the art farm would like to thank the Sunshine Coast Regional
District for your generous support of the 2013 Synchronicity Festival. Your contributions
of Grant-in-Aid funds and Shirley Macey Park itself enabled us to provide three days of
free festival programming to over 2000 attendees in a spectacular setting.
Our goal for the Synchronicity Festival is to feature the diversity of progressive and
innovative people that live and work among us on the Sunshine Coast, and it takes the
support of the local community – and the local government - to make this annual and
growing event a success.
As our Heritage Canada grant for next year’s festival is due at the end of this month, we
are asking once again for your in-kind support of the event through the use of Shirley
Macey Park between August 18-24, 2014. This grant forms a significant portion of our
annual budget and requires confirmation of local government support. We thank you in
advance for your time on this.
Many thanks, again for your support.
Best Regards,
Chad Hershler
Executive and Artistic Director
