3.1 Trustee Reports 
Trustee Scott reported on the following: 
 Increasing taxes are of concern to a number of residents who question if they are 
getting good value for their tax contributions. 
 The next Trust Council meeting on March 8, 9 and 10, 2022 in Nanaimo will most 
likely include lively debate on the proposed Trust budget on Wednesday, March 9.  
 The Draft Islands Trust Policy Statement, also up for debate at the upcoming Trust 
Council meeting, seems too long and complicated and makes one question who it is 
written for.
