Delegation (Regional Board):
1) Mike Simpson from the Williams Lake and Area Interface Fire Plan Secretariat will update the Board on its activities
Business (Regional Board):
1) New Policy to refund Planning Application Fees with regard to Heritage Conservation. See here. Disclosure Note - Mayor Cook is unable to vote on this item as Williams Lake is not a member of the CRD Planning Function however the 12 Rural Directors and the City of Quesnel are entitled to vote on this item as they are all members of the CRD Planning Function
2) Letter from Nemiah Valley (Xeni Gwet'in First Nations) re: protesting approval in 2010 of DVP's (Development Variance Permit) in its traditional territory. See their letter here
Editor's Note - it'll be interesting to see how the Regional Board responds to their letter and if this is the start of a "tit-for-tat" political war with the Xeni Gwet'in First Nations. Hopefully not, as one hopes that Area 'A' Director /Chair of the local Treaty Advisory Committee Ted Armstrong is able to bridge the gap on this item
3) A number of contribution agreements to be ratified by the Regional Board
See here (CCACS + local Mountain Bike Consortium)
See here (150 Mile Community Hall - lighting upgrades)
See here (Bouchie Lk Community Hall - numerous energy upgrades)
4) Request from Area 'D' Director Bischoff to assist McLeese Lake Community Hall with clean-up costs. See here
5) Board to adopt 3 new Policies re
a) Inviting MLA's for Cariboo-Chilcotin/Cariboo-North to present to the Board each year
b) Policy re: Security Deposit for construction of a hanger at any CRD-owned Airport
c) Policy re: Proclamations at "no cost to the Board"
See the report here
6) CRD/City of Quesnel to submit a NCLGA (local Local Gov't Assoc) Resolution re: Ban on Incandescent Light Bulbs. See here
Finally - in a weird move - the City of Williams Lake has submitted its Feb 22nd Council Meeting Minutes to appear in the CRD's Consent Calendar in place of the usual Council Meeting Highlights which were available on Feb 23rd. I'm not sure why the City would do this. Certainly, District of 100 Mile/Wells and the City of Quesnel do not put their meeting minutes in the Consent Calendar
