COUNCILLORS PAULL & THAPAR OPPOSED

Request for access to land locked lands via City property

City Planner Turner reported on Administration Report #124/11 outlining consideration of a

request to utilize the driveway of the south water tower to access lands beyond. City Planner

reported that in 2000 the City subdivided and acquired land for the south Quesnel water reservoir

tower; in 2006 an agreement with a resident was reached to temporarily utilize the driveway to

access his undeveloped lands to the east. Currently the property owners of a parcel to the north

of water tower property are requesting a similar agreement be established to utilize the driveway

for access so they may build a home on their property. The City Planner reviewed conditions of

the 2006 agreement including the annual fee of $100.00, using the driveway for the purpose of

accessing the Nestel property only, to maintain public liability insurance on the driveway on the

reservoir property at their expense, in a form acceptable to the City and to bring the access up to

standards as outlined in the City’s Subdivision Control Bylaw No. 1208, totally at the expense of

Mr. Nestel when the property is proposed for development.

City Planner Turner reported that in September both Mr. Nestel and Mr. & Mrs. Winther

inquired with City staff about the potential of developing a road to access their respective

properties. City staff met with the proponents and noted the development plans at this time

appear to be the establishment of homes on each of their properties and that the roadway on what

is now the City’s driveway to access the water reservoir be provided as access to their respective

properties. City Planner Turner reported that City staff has a number of concerns with this

arrangement: the intent of the original agreement was to access non-developed lands, the

driveway was not constructed as a public road, allowing this type of incremental development

without the advantage of an overall plan may lead to future conflicts; the utility lines should

correspond with road or property access development; although the zoning permits a secondary

residence this is for farm help use only and staff do not want to commit to utilizing the current

driveway as a future road as a number of considerations need to take place.

Council questioned if these parcels are land locked and if there are any others land locked parcels

in the City. City Planner Turner commented that there were other landlocked parcels and that

this is a common occurrence in many municipalities. City Manager Stecyk reported that City

staff need to take a rationale approach and get more planning information regarding this issue.

11-23-345 MOVED Councillor Couldwell, Seconded Councillor Roodenburg and resolved:

THAT Council received the City Planner’s report for information;

AND THAT Council directs staff to obtain additional planning information

regarding the proposed future development of these lands to ensure development

follows good planning principles.

CARRIED

Artwork on Footbridge Gates

Director of Public Works Coombs reported on Administration report #128/11 requesting council

to consider a proposal put forth by local artist, Leigh Cassidy. Ms. Cassidy is proposing to

supply and install two historical photographs and two paintings on the new security gates at each

end of the Fraser River Footbridge. Director Coombs displayed the photographs and paintings

presented and estimated the cost of the work to be approximately $1560.00 plus tax. Councillor

Oakes commented that a more relevant project for the Council Projects account would be the

skateboard park and that a number of the skateboarders “skateboard junkies” are working to

clean up the area and requesting supplies of the community. Councillor Thapar commented that

a fountain needs to be put in area of the skateboard park. Director Coombs noted that installing a

fountain in the area would cost approximately $7000 due to the waterline distances. Councillor

Thapar suggested the cost could be lower if the foundation were further from the Skate Board

Park.

11-23-346 MOVED Councillor Paull, Seconded Councillor Thapar and resolved:

THAT the proposal to supply and install two historical photographs and two

paintings on the new security gates at each end of the Fraser River Footbridge be

referred to the 2012 Capital Budget discussion.

Director of Public Works Coombs reported on Administration Report #127/11 advising that the

purpose of this report is to seek Council’s approval to proceed with the awarding of Production

Well No. 10 Pump Installation and Site Improvements contract. The contract is greater than

$200,000. Director Coombs advised that the tender closed on October 18; that the project

includes the installation of a 200 HP vertical turbine pump, a well head enclosure; all associated

piping and fittings to tie into the existing well No. 5 pump house and all associated electrical

work and closure of well No. 5. The tender received from Canadian Western Mechanical Ltd.

was in the amount of $343,823 without tax.

Director Coombs reported that the total cost of installing the well in 2009/2010 was $551,789

and that the total cost in 2011 of developing this well is estimated at $548,000 and the total cost

to complete this project is estimated at $1,099,789. Director Coombs reported that while the cost

of bringing this well into service has increased substantially, the yield from the well will be

much higher than anticipated. The City will obtain a well that produces 1800 gpm which is

approximately twice the expected yield.

11-23-349 MOVED Councillor Couldwell, Seconded Councillor Roodenburg and resolved:

THAT Council recommends option 1 of Administration Report #127/11 and

awards the contract “Production Well No. 10 Pump Installation and Site

Improvements” to Canadian Western Mechanical in the amount of $343,823. plus

Additional Lot to DVC Water Local Area – May Road

Council approved the extension of the water line on May Road, and approved any lots on May

Road could choose to be connected, and at this point only #2021 May Road has chosen to be

connected to the water system.

11-23-350 MOVED Councillor Paull, Seconded Councillor Roodenburg and resolved:

CARRIED

It was noted that the Bylaw will receive the first three readings further along on the agenda.

City/CRD Management Agreement

General Manager of Community Services Norburn reported that the purpose of Administration

Report #121/11 was to obtain authorization from Council to enter into a five year agreement with

the CRD for the City to manage the North Cariboo Recreation and Parks Service. General

Manager Norburn reported that the operating agreement between the City of Quesnel and the

Cariboo Regional District for Quesnel and Area Sub-Regional Recreation expired in December

1997. The City then continued to manage the service without a formal agreement for eight years.

In October 2011, the North Cariboo Joint Planning committee passed a resolution supporting the

new comprehensive agreement between the City and CRD for the management of the North

Cariboo Recreation and Parks Service and recommends that the agreement be approved by

Keis Avenue are under review; the subdivision would allow for lot boundaries which more

accurately reflect actual building locations and developed property boundaries; the applicant has

Manager’s Report September 2011 1. Cariboo Observer Digitization Manager Hunter continues to monitor the progress of the Digitization. Although they estimated that they would complete the 1991- 2000 material by mid-October, when she inquired last week they had only finished processing about half the film. We have received the $1000 that the Integris Credit Union contributed to this project and a photograph was provided to the paper. 2. Indo Canadian Project - Nothing to report. 3. Heritage Speakers Series - Sunday November 20th at 2 pm Diana Phillips- Beyond the Home Ranch Manager Hunter has booked the Council chambers, but she has also made inquiries to see if the Atrium at CNC or the auditorium at Correlieu is available since we overflowed Council Chamber last time Diana visited. Tuesday November 29th at 7 pm Sage Birchwater & Betty Frank- The Legendary Betty Frank: The Cariboo’s Alpine Queen (and Chiwid, Metis Outpost, Gumption & Grit and other publications by Sage, Council Chamber. Susan Smith – Lillian Alling; The Journey Home. The release is scheduled for “mid- December” so Manager Hunter has suggested that we schedule the presentation for January. Manager Hunter will call for volunteers to introduce and thank the speakers and perhaps host them to a dinner. 4. Heritage Register/Recognition – Manager Hunter will be contacting the owners of the Mitchell House and the Quesnel Hotel to confirm whether they will accept the award of a heritage plaque. 5. Collections Management –The collections committee met in September and reviewed a group of household items. Two stoves and an organ have been transferred to Barkerville and the meat slicer from the Wells meat market was given to the Wells Museum. All of these items were stored at the airport, except the organ which was previously on exhibit at the museum. 6. Outreach & Education – Don Hauka and David Pettigrew working for the Heritage Tourism Alliance visited Quesnel during a tour to film heritage stories for the Timetravel BC web site. Manager Hunter arranged interviews with Jeff Dinsdale and Tom Moffat. They were pleased with the material they filmed and have promised to supply the museum with a copy of the raw footage. As requested Manager Hunter circulated a you tube clip of the play Cariboo Buckeroo, which the commission had been approached to sponsor. Because the


of 124

theatre group was not flexible with the proposed dates and Quesnel Live arts was hosting a musical performance the same weekend we declined to sponsor this event. They were going to pursue it independently. 7. Exhibits – Manager Hunter has confirmed that the CS Wing Exhibit can stay in storage in Nelson until next January when it will be transferred to the Medicine Hat. 8. BCMA Conference -The conference was cancelled due to lack of adequate registration. The pre- conference workshops in Abbotsford did take place and association is planning to arrange a 1 day event in Vancouver or Victoria before the end of the year to hold their AGM and the awards ceremony. The distance required for many to travel to Revelstoke and the financial pressures on community museums undoubtedly contributed to the lack of registration. Next year’s conference is scheduled to take place in Kamloops so hopefully a central location will be more successful. Certainly it will be more convenient for us. 9. Budget & Planning Priorities for 2012 – Manager Hunter has begun to prepare the budget for next year. Please come to the meeting ready to discuss any special projects or initiatives the commission would like to pursue next year so that these can be taken into consideration when developing the budget.

Subject: Appointment of Chief Election Officer for 2011 Local General Election

PURPOSE

To revoke the existing and make a new and current appointment, for the position of Chief Election Officer for the 2011 Local General Election; and to appoint alternate City officers able to execute land and other municipal documents as Commissioners for Oaths and Affidavits.

STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

Section 41 of the Local Government Act requires Council to appoint a chief election officer, and Section 40 permits a municipality to partner in the conduct of all or a portion of the election with another local government in return for the sharing of such costs.

Section 148 of the Community Charter provides for the Corporate Administrator and the Deputy Corporate Administrator to be Commissioners for Oaths and Affidavits, able to take oaths, affirmations, affidavits and declarations required to be taken under the Community Charter or any other Acts relating to municipalities.

BACKGROUND

Council had previously appointed Lori Scott as the Chief Election Officer; she has recently given notice of a career change to work with the Municipality of Osoyoos in the Okanagan Valley as their Deputy Corporate Officer.

Ms. Maureen Murray is currently available to perform the Chief Election Officer role, is experienced, and fully capable in that regard. Ms. Murray has been assisting with the 2011 election to this point and is willing to provide the City of Quesnel with the services it needs as the Chief Election Officer.

Pending hiring a new Deputy Corporate Administrator, only the City Manager is available to act as Commissioner for Oaths and Affidavits. This means that in situations where he must and can only act as signing officer to Land Title Office documents/transactions, an external Commissioner for Oaths and Affidavits must be retained at cost. Having additional City officers appointed as Commissioners under section 148 would be both cost effective and would provide flexibility. Administration believes that two additional officer positions in the City should thus be permanently appointed Commissioners

for Oaths and Affidavits to provide the flexibility needed during various leave situations, land transaction scenarios, etc. There are currently a number of Land Title documents requiring the signature of the Mayor and Corporate Administrator under oath, but no third person in attendance to finalize the transactions.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. THAT Council revoke the appointment of Ms. Lori Scott as Chief Election Officer for conducting the 2011 general local election.

2. THAT Council appoint Ms. Maureen Murray as Chief Election Officer for conducting the 2011 municipal general local election, pursuant to Section 41(1) and (2) of the Local Government Act, with power to appoint other election officials as required for the administration and conduct of the 2011 general local elections.

3. THAT Council deem and appoint current and future incumbents of the City officer positions of Director of Finance and the Director of Public Works and Engineering as Commissioners of Oaths and Affidavits, able to administer oaths, affirmations, affidavits and declarations on behalf of the City of Quesnel, as are required to be taken under the Community Charter or any other Acts relating to municipalities.

Subject: Multi-Centre Donations

PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to obtain authorization from Council directing City staff to collect and administer donations made to the Multi-Centre project and to issue tax deductible receipts where appropriate.

SUMMARY

The fundraising campaign for the Multi-Centre includes both local and corporate fundraising.

Efforts will be made to accept pledges, rather than cash donations, for large contributions whenever possible, however smaller donations and funds raised through events, raffles and similar activities will require collection and administration. Some of these donors will request tax deductible receipts.

Local governments, like the City and CRD, can issue tax deductible receipts for donations.

While the CRD could collect and administer funds collected for the Multi-Centre and issue tax deductible receipts it will be more practical and convenient for donors if the City were to assume this role.

In order to issue tax deductible receipts, the donation must meet the requirements of the Canada Revenue Agency.

Because the collection and administration of these donations is expected to require considerable finance department staff time over a number of years, direction is being sought from Council before the City assumes the role of managing these funds.

of 2

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

There is no direct impact on the City Budget however undertaking this work is expected to require considerable staff resources over the life of the project.

BACKGROUND

The Fundraising Committee feels that even smaller donations will help build momentum, provide leverage when seeking large donations and grants, and raise the project profile in the community. Large donations, when secured, can be made by means of a signed pledge (much like a promissory note which can be legally binding) which means that funds do not have to be collected, administered, and receipted until all funding is secured and the project is confirmed to proceed.

To comply with legislation and the requirements of the Canada Revenue Agency, donations of goods or cash must be made voluntarily, without any expectation of benefit in return. It is highly probable that contributions from large companies will not require a tax deductible receipt from the City as there are other mechanisms available to these companies to receive a tax benefit. It is anticipated that most requests for tax deductible receipts will come from individuals and small businesses.

It will not be possible to return funds that have been donated once they have been made. Donors will need to understand that any donation made before the project is confirmed to proceed will not be refunded, even if the Multi-Centre is never constructed. Funds collected but not used for the Multi-Centre will go into the North Cariboo Recreation and Parks capital reserve.

The issuing of tax deductible receipts is time consuming. In order to reduce the workload on staff it is proposed that tax deductible receipts only be issued for donations of $100 or more.

The funds collected will need to be turned over to the CRD on a regular basis to be held in the North Cariboo Recreation and Parks capital reserve account.

New well closer to completionA new water well that will improve the capacity of the City’s

water system is closer to completion after Council approved a $343,823 contract to Canadian Western Mechanical. The contract includes: installation of a 200 horsepower vertical turbine pump; a well head enclosure; all associated piping and fittings to tie into the existing pump house; all associated electrical work; and closure of well No. 5. The new well is capable of producing up to 1,800 gallons per minute, far superior to the City’s other five wells that produce from 250 to 1,000 gallons per minute. The total cost of the project is estimated at $1,099,789, which is up from the last estimate of $876,785 and the original 2009 project estimate of $660,000. A grant of $375,000 was received by the City to fund a portion of the work. Some of the reasons for the budget increase include: a larger pump and associated infrastructure due to the increased well capacity (the City had anticipated less water volume); and a seven-month delay after a serious technical issue during the testing process.

Fees bylaw moves ahead

The City’s Comprehensive Fees and Charges bylaw was approved. This “Master Fee” bylaw was put in place in 2010, allowing the City to update fees and charges in one process. Council approved several fee increases, including: a five per cent increase to water and sewer rates ($16.72 per year, per household); a two per cent increase to airport fees (not including passenger fees); and some minor changes to some building inspection and development charges.

Recreation contract on the wayCouncil approved the City entering into a five-year agreement

with the Cariboo Regional District to manage its North Cariboo Recreation and Parks function. The agreement reflects the current management structure and operations, and provides a framework for service delivery in the future. It is based on a municipal contract operating budget that increases by 1.5% per year.

Visitor Centre contract renewedCouncil approved the City entering a new, five-year

agreement with the Quesnel and District Chamber of Commerce for the operation of the Quesnel Visitors Centre. The Chamber has provided management of the building since

2002. In 2011, the fee for that service was $90,562, less grants received by the Chamber for an estimated cost to the City of $73,842. In 2010 the Chamber reduced their fee by $7,000, and by $4,000 in 2011. The new agreement sees an increase of 13.9% to the fee over five years.

Other news • A number of point of interest signs along the City’s

Riverfront Trail will be updated thanks to the community winning $10,000 in the Healthy Families BC Walking Challenge.

• The City received its Community Excellence Award from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. The award, given under the Best Practices - General category is for the City’s online mapping program and accompanying tutorial video. The City’s Geographic Information System technician Rhonda McCabe was recognized by Council for her work on the project.

• City Council also formally received two more awards. The first was as the Cariboo region’s most small-business friendly community, awarded by B.C.’s Small Business Roundtable. The second was from WoodWorks for being the first community to have a wood-first bylaw linking to the province’s Wood First Act.

Reference: 152478 October 12, 2011 Dear Mayors, Councillors, Chairs and Directors: I would like to take this opportunity to bring you up to date on the Province’s Water Act Modernization (WAM) project and the proposed new Water Sustainability Act (WSA). The proposed WSA will build on and replace the current Water Act and respond to current and future pressures on water, including population growth, resource development and climate change. Updating our water laws is a key commitment in Living Water Smart: British Columbia’s Water Plan and will position BC as a leader in water stewardship. The Province has been engaging local governments and the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) on WAM since 2008 through regional workshops, discussion papers, UBCM-sponsored forums, teleconferences and the Living Water Smart Blog. Last December we released a Policy Proposal on the new WSA and received almost 1400 written submissions including over 30 submissions from local government. Over the summer, MOE staff have been reviewing the public input, further refining the proposed policies and assessing implications. Throughout the engagement process we have received suggestions and ideas on an unprecedented scale and quality. Many local governments and British Columbians requested an opportunity to review and comment on the detailed policies and legislation. In response, I am pleased to advise that the Province has committed to take more time to engage on the draft legislation before it is finalized and introduced into the Legislature. Although our proposal to deliver a workshop at the UBCM Convention was not accepted, my staff will be working with UBCM to explore alternative venues and timelines this fall. In addition, MoE staff are working closely with the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development to ensure the proposed Water Sustainability Act is integrated with other government policies and legislation.

RE: New Funding Available – 2012 Age-friendly Community Planning & Projects Program

Launched in 2004, the Seniors’ Housing and Support Initiative was created through a one-time $2 million grant from the (now) Ministry of Community, Sport & Cultural Development to assist local governments to prepare for an aging population. In 2007, the (now) Ministry of Health provided a $0.5 million grant to further support the initiative and to incorporate a focus on age-friendly projects and additional funds were contributed in 2011 to support a new round of grant funding.

As part of the Seniors’ Housing & Support Initiative, applications are now being accepted for the 2012 Age-friendly Community Planning & Projects program. Grants of up to $20,000.00 are available to support community planning initiatives and/or community projects focused on age-friendly communities and the ability of seniors to age in place.

The application deadline is December 2, 2011.

For more information about the funding program please visit the Funding Programs section of www.ubcm.ca or contact: Local Government Program Union of BC Municipalities (250) 356-5134 [email protected]

RE: UPDATE: RCMP Contract Negotiations

1. Purpose This communication is being forwarded to inform local governments about the current status of the negotiations to renew the RCMP agreement. Solicitor General Shirley Bond updated local governments on the status of the RCMP contract at the 2011 UBCM Convention. She indicated that the RCMP contract negotiations had been suspended as a result of the federal election and that the province was attempting to re-start the negotiations with the federal government. Provincial Deputy Minister Lori Wanamaker met with the Deputy Ministers of the other 8 Provinces and Territories (i.e. Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island) still involved in RCMP contract discussions in late September, to confirm their collective positions on the contract issues and the strategy that they will follow going forward. A Provincial/Territorial proposal for a new RCMP agreement was forwarded to the federal government on October 14, 2011. British Columbia has subsequently had some preliminary discussions with the federal government and is optimistic that we will be able to move forward. A meeting of the Provincial/Territorial Assistant Deputy Ministers and Public Safety Canada (PSC) is being scheduled for the week of October 31, 2011. 2. Resuming Negotiations with Canada The RCMP contract negotiation process was suspended during the recent federal election. In July 2011 the Provincial/Territorial Deputy Ministers forwarded an updated proposal to the federal government in an effort to re-start the negotiation process. In August Public Safety Canada (PSC) responded with its own Agreement and requested that the Provinces/Territories indicate their acceptance of the terms by

UBCM Member Release - Update: RCMP Contract Negotiations

of 124

November 30, 2011. The Provincial/Territorial (PT) negotiating team identified a number of areas in the Public Safety Canada proposed Agreement that require further negotiation. In the proposal that the Provinces/Territories forwarded to Public Safety Canada on October 14, 2011, the following issues were identified: 1) Non-contentious Items - PTs have identified changes to PSC’s proposed

language that they feel should be non-contentious because the changes: • Provide clarity around the management of the agreement; • Provide clarity around the intent and/or meaning of the language; • Will enable the technical operation of the Agreement; • Are consistent with the control/oversight cost control mechanisms contained

in other parts of the Agreement; and, • Return the proposed Agreement to language that was Agreed in Principle by

all parties prior to Alberta and Saskatchewan breaking away from the block. 2) Clarification of Cost Items – PTs are requesting that program budgets be clearly described in the Agreement. 3) PT Cost Control Mechanisms – Generally speaking, PTs have inserted mechanisms to contain cost increases or improve RCMP accountability and PT oversight over costs they are incurring. 4) Directed Reviews – PTs want the Minister to have the authority to specify what Directed Reviews will be undertaken, and the scope, subject matter, timing, etc. of the Directed Reviews, including the caveat that they will be conducted by an independent third-party. 3. Next Steps A further update on the RCMP contract negotiations will be provided after the meeting of the Provincial/Territorial Assistant Deputy Ministers and Public Safety Canada. UBCM has received a strong interest from members in the Provincial/Local Government RCMP Contract Management Committee and UBCM will announce the appointments after the civic election.

Please contact Mayor Peter Fassbender, City of Langley, at 604-514-2801 or by email at [email protected] if you have further questions about the negotiations.

RE: NATURAL RESOURCE ROADS

Purpose This communication is being forwarded to inform local governments about a proposal by the provincial government to introduce a Natural Resource Road Act in the fall of 2012. The Province has developed a discussion paper entitled the “Natural Resource Road Act Project” which outlines the general intent of the new legislation and it is looking for local government feedback on the proposed policy by December 15, 2011. The Natural Resource Road Project website is located at: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/mof/nrra/index.htm Background The provincial government has looked at the issue of how to operate and manage rural resource roads on a number of occasions. In 2008 the provincial government introduced Bill 30 – Resource Road Act. The Act was intended to establish a new framework for the operation and maintenance of resource roads. The legislation was met with a mixed response from industry, environmental groups and other users. The provincial government removed Bill 30 from the legislative agenda following first reading. In 2009 the provincial government indicated that it intended to take a further look at the resource roads issue based on concerns raised by local government. A number of local governments indicated that the use and future access to resource roads was a growing concern around the province. A UBCM/Provincial Joint Committee was created to look at the issue and a report was produced in 2010 entitled “Resource Roads and Communities: Issues and Recommendations” and was discussed at a clinic at the 2010 UBCM Convention. The report on resource roads can be located on the UBCM website at: http://www.ubcm.ca/EN/main/resolutions/policy-papers/convention-policy-papers-2000-present.html

UBCM Member Release - Natural Resource Roads of 124

Natural Resource Road Act Project The Province has developed a discussion paper entitled the “Natural Resource Road Act Project” and is looking for stakeholder input into the process. The discussion paper outlines a number of different issues that the Province is attempting to address in the legislation. The first set of issues is around the approval and use of the roads. The paper outlines the following suggestions: • consolidate resource road legislation into a single act and provide a one-window approach to the approval of resource roads; • ensure that resource roads are built and maintained with due consideration to environmental impacts; • ensure that roads are open to everyone except as required to protect the road, to mitigate unacceptable environmental impacts and to provide for the safety of road users; • reflect a “use at your own risk” approach when accessing resource roads. Liability to third parties will be limited to instances of misfeasance on the part of the designated maintainer. Unless a designated maintainer or government has intentionally or negligently created a hazard that causes another user injury or vehicle damage, there will be no recourse to compensation; A second set of issues that the Province is investigating is the operation and management of rural resource roads. The paper makes the following suggestions: • require that the provincial government identify one designated maintainer for each resource road, the provincial government may assign any user of the road as a designated maintainer. However, there will be only one designated maintainer for each road or section of road at a time. The designated maintainer is responsible for maintaining and repairing the road and will in the majority of cases be assigned to the party who is considered the primary user of the road (whether industrial, commercial or other). Where multiple parties use roads for industrial or some commercial (yet to be defined) purposes, they will be obligated to contribute fairly to the cost of maintenance incurred by the maintainer; • require that government decision-makers determine when a resource road can be closed and require that the provincial government consider the future value of the road to the public good when setting relief conditions. An underlying objective is to support non-industrial maintainers taking on responsibility for roads no longer required by industry, thereby retaining more roads for longer periods of time; • require that any road lacking a designated maintainer may be subject to deactivation. One of the key principles behind the proposed legislation is that every resource road will need to have a person responsible for carrying out maintenance. Someone will need to be identified as responsible for mitigating the environmental risks associated with operating the road - maintaining the bridges and stream culverts, which will eventually fail if not maintained - or the road will be closed.


Next Steps The provincial government is looking for local government feedback on the future direction and operation of resource roads. They would like to know what role local government feels it should play in this process and how local governments would like to see resource roads managed and operated in the future. The deadline for feedback is December 15, 2011. The Natural Resource Road Project website is located at: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/mof/nrra/index.htm UBCM Contact UBCM would request that you forward a copy to us of your local government’s response to the Natural Resource Road Project. If your local government has any questions regarding this communication, please contact Ken Vance, Senior Policy Advisor Email: [email protected]; Tel: 604-270-8226 ext. 114. 1110-40: mr-nrr-oct/2011

Changes in Forest Acts & Regs Several announcements have been made in the past week or so

regarding changes to everything from forest licences, to

changes in enforcement and how resource roads are regulated:

1) The B.C. Liberal government has introduced changes to

forest harvest licences to simplify operations for energy and

mining companies, and loosen land-use restrictions for private

woodlot owners.

The proposed legislation gives Forests, Lands and Natural

Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson authority to

allow woodlot owners to remove private land from woodlot

licences. The ministry said in a statement the change will

"provide woodlot owners flexibility in managing their assets in

changing economic times, and to plan for retirement."

Cutting permits for oil and gas activities requiring logging are

to be extended from five years to 10. Free use permits to allow

small amounts of logging to develop a mining claim would

have their term extended from one to five years.

Amendments would also allow the direct award of fibre

supply licences to allow access to wood waste for biofuel

production.

2) The Natural Resource Compliance Act introduced today

will make it easier for compliance and enforcement officers to

hold offenders accountable for violating natural resource

legislation.

If passed, the act will establish one designation, “natural

resource officer”, which will allow officers to enforce a

broader range of legislation across the natural resource sector.

Currently, officers do not have the authority to enforce acts

other than the ones they have been specifically designated to

uphold.

Officials from other areas of government, such as BC Parks,

will also be able to assist in enforcing Ministry of Forests,

Lands and Natural Resource Operations legislation, resulting

in better on-the-ground coverage.

The new legislation will apply to identified acts in the natural

resource sector, such as the Forest and Range Practices Act,

the Forest Act, the Wildfire Act, the Wildlife Act and the

Water Act.

3) The Natural Resource Road Act aims to establish a single

legislative framework for the use, construction, maintenance

and management of resource roads. This simplified process

will create certainty about rules and regulations, and provide

consistency for all sectors and resource road users

A discussion paper has been prepared to inform stakeholders

and to encourage feedback on proposed principles and key

policies for consideration. This discussion paper is available

online at: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/mof/nrra/ and public input

will be accepted until December 15.

Gulbranson Logging Leads the Way Gulbranson Logging of Vanderhoof is the first logging

contractor to take the plunge in the Carbon Offset Aggregation

Co-op program. The technology required for reducing fuel

consumption and calculating the subsequent fuel savings will

be installed in harvesting equipment over the next month,

allowing Gulbranson’s to start saving money and creating

carbon offsets during this winter’s harvesting season.

Mel Gulbranson, and his sons Jared and Kaelin, see the

opportunity to effect positive change in their business and in

the environment.

Gulbranson Logging is a long time member of the CILA, and

has been a strong supporter of the carbon project all along.

Third Quarter Reports Canfor is reporting a net loss of $9.6 million dollars in the

third quarter compared to net income of $37.2 million for the

same quarter last year, and net income of $26.2 million in the

second quarter of 2011.

Canfor points to weak lumber markets in North America,

higher unit logs costs blamed on challenging wet weather

conditions, costs incurred with the restart of the

Vavenby sawmill, and a major planer upgrade at the Polar

sawmill.

The overall Canfor bottom line was also impacted by

the extended downtime at the Northwood pulp

mill which meant a 13% reduction in production levels.

Meanwhile, West Fraser is reporting modest earnings for

the third quarter. Overall earnings for the third quarter of 2011

from continuing operations were $6 million on sales of $705

million.

In the quarter , the lumber segment generated an operating

loss of $15 million reflecting continuing weak demand as U.S.

new home construction remains at or near historically low

levels. West Fraser says it expects lumber prices to remain at

or fall below current levels as low U.S. housing starts will

continue to limit demand.

Conifex is expected to release its Q3 results on Nov 18.

Shift into Winter Driving Shift into Winter is a joint provincial initiative supported by

organizations committed to improving the safety of drivers

during the winter months. A group of agencies have teamed up

on a radio campaign and resources to bring awareness to

winter driving risks. Information on the program, and

resources for your workplace or community or school is

available at the websites of all the partners, such as DriveBC,

ICBC, and BCAA. Enform’s campaign is called “The Cold

War”.

In the North, the CILA will be partnering with the RoadHealth

coalition and the BC Forest Safety Council to run its “Sharing

the Road with Trucks” messaging as well. We've already seen

several crashes between public vehicles and logging trucks,

and will be reminding the driving public of the extra

precautions they need to take when sharing the road with

trucks.

CILA Board Meeting Nov 26, Quesnel Tower Inn, 9am—Noon; Please RSVP to [email protected]

Twice a year we meet on Saturday at a location outside Prince

George to encourage members to attend. We’ll be updating the

Board on the progress of the Forest Service Providers Act, our

training initiative, the Carbon Co-op , contact negotiations, the

Tax Trust and more! All are welcome!

Cheslatta Mill Officially Closed Cheslatta Forest Products Ltd. has officially closed its mill.

The mill started full time production back in 2001. The

sawmill ceased operations in October 2008. The shutdown was

thought to be temporary at the time, but the sawmill has not

operated again. The planer mill operated sporadically during

2009 and 2010.

During its operational period, the mill provided employment

for 140 people in harvesting, milling, administration and

trucking and contributed nearly $1.5 million per month in

contracts, payroll and operations to the regional economy.
