REQUEST FOR DECISION 
 
 
To: Gabriola Island Local Trust 
Committee 
 For the Meeting of: November 7, 2024 
     
From: Meeting Administrator  Date Prepared: October 17, 2024 
     
SUBJECT:
  
Draft 2025/26 Gabriola Local Trust Committee Annual Meeting Schedule  
 
 
RECOMMENDATION: THAT Gabriola Island Local Trust Committee approve their January, 2025 to 
March, 2026 Meeting Schedule. 
 
DIRECTOR COMMENTS: The work of developing the proposed 2025 committee schedule has been 
centralized thereby allowing the Executive Coordinator and Meeting Administrator to consider, at 
length, the many factors involved in creating an effective schedule that meets the requirements of each 
committee, the chairpersons, and committee members. The proposed schedule allows decisions made 
by local trust committees to move onto the relevant standing committee’s agenda to Executive 
Committee in a timely manner allowing for increased efficiency. Adoption of the proposed meeting 
schedule will increase productivity by allowing a seamless process in completing the work required to 
organize and publish the meetings without need for significant re-ordering of the schedule. 
  
 
1 PURPOSE:  
To approve the Gabriola Island Local Trust Committee Business Meeting Schedule from January 1, 
2025 to March 31, 2026 
 
2 BACKGROUND:  
Each  Local  Trust  Committee  (LTC)  is  asked  to  endorse,  by  resolution,  its  regular annual business 
meeting schedule for 2025. Pending Trust Council’s decision at its December meeting, Trust Council 
Bylaw No. 197, 2024 Section 5 proposes that local trust committee meetings be scheduled for the 
fiscal year instead of the calendar year. Therefore, if Bylaw No. 197, 2024 is adopted the local trust 
committee meetings will be scheduled from January 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026 and then April 
1 through March 31 thereafter. 
 
As part of this endorsement, the LTC will need to designate which meeting dates are anticipated to 
be  electronic  or  in-person.  This  would  allow  staff  to  plan further  in  advance  to  accommodate 
meeting logistics, enable staff to book venues for the year and anticipate cancelling the bookings if 
the meetings get changed to electronic-only at a later date.  
 
Factors that have been considered when putting together the schedule are as follows: 
 LTC’s preferred meeting days and times; 
 Number of meetings held per year; 
 Anticipated project commitments and application volumes; 
 Chair and trustee availability and conflicts with Executive Committee and Trust Council 
Standing Committee meeting dates; 
 Chair travel; 
 Trust
