RECOMMENDATION 
1. That  the Salt  Spring  Island  Local  Trust  Committee approve  the  Memorandum  of  Understanding  for  a 
Weston  Lake  Water  Availability  and  Climate  Change  Assessment  attached  as  Appendix  1  to  the  staff 
report of April 27, 2021, and designate the chair to sign it.  
REPORT SUMMARY 
This staff report provides the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee (LTC) with a Memorandum of Understanding 
(MOU) to undertake a Weston Lake Water Availability and Climate Change Assessment in coordination with the 
Capital Regional District (CRD). It is provided for the LTC’s approval and chair’s signature.  
BACKGROUND 
At its March 23, 2021 regular meeting the LTC reviewed a draft memorandum of understanding between the 
LTC and CRD to fund the development of a Weston Lake Water Availability and Climate Change Assessment.  
Director of Local Planning Services (DLPS) subsequently advised that per Trust Council Policy 2.1.4, the MOU 
must be reviewed by Islands Trust Executive Committee (EC)  and approved under the chair’s signature by the 
business unit undertaking the MOU – in this case the Salt Spring Island LTC.  
Following the LTC’s review of the MOU in March, and per recommendations of the DLPS, staff made a few minor 
amendments to the MOU prior to EC review. These consisted primarily of replacing “Islands Trust” with “Salt 
Spring Island Local Trust Committee” throughout the document.  
The Executive Committee reviewed the proposed MOU at its meeting of April 14, 2021. No comments were 
provided.  
The version of the MOU attached as Appendix 1 to this staff report is the version that was reviewed by EC.
