Governance and Management Review October 4
th
 interim update 
Attn: Lee Middleton, Chair, Select Committee on Governance Review 
 
  
As we discussed, there is little point to assembling our Project Team, with little additional to report as it 
is only three weeks since our last Select Committee Report in mid-September, and therefore we agreed 
a brief written summary would suffice for the early October Select Committee meeting. Thank you for 
agreeing to read it into the meeting record. 
Following our overview of the completed interviews with 25 of the 26 Islands Trust Councillors (Scott 
Coulbourne in process but not yet complete). we have been engaged in a more thorough analysis of 
these interviews, to assist a focussed approach to interviewing Islands Trust Senior staff.  
Having completed this analysis, we are now in the process of scheduling meetings with Islands Trust 
staff plus interviews with suggested contacts with others associated with Land Use Planning. I will 
forward Eric Vance’s (our team’s Land Use Planning Expert) Interview Guide for land using planning staff 
interviews. Many of the external land use planning interviewees are personal acquaintances of Eric’s, 
through many years of professional affiliations.  
Russ Hotsenpiller, CAO, has provided us with an extensive list of First Nations contacts. We have 
determined to first discuss First Nations contacts more thoroughly with Islands Trust senior staff before 
determining which of these contacts we will request to be interviewed. Before these interviews Russ or 
members of his staff, will make introductions and explain to interviewees the purpose of the Review 
process and ask if they are prepared to be interviewed.  
Russ has also volunteered to set up similar introductions with senior Ministry of Municipal Affairs 
officials.  
We look forward to the November Select Committee meeting and a progress report at that time which 
will relate that our course of interviews will have largely completed..  
If the Select Committee members have any questions, please ask them to forward them to you and we 
will reply through your offices as the Chair.
