1. CALL TO ORDER 
 
Chair Busheikin called the meeting to order at 12:34 p.m. and acknowledged the 
meeting was being held in territory of the Coast Salish First Nations. She explained the 
role of the minute-taker: to record decisions, not to take verbatim notes. 
 
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA 
 
By general consent the agenda was approved as presented. 
 
3. TOWN HALL AND QUESTIONS 
 
Chair Busheikin indicated this Town Hall was for items on the agenda.  
 
Stephen Rybak, Chair of the former telecommunications Special Advisory Planning 
Commission (SAPC), had questions concerning the Terms of Reference (TOR) for the 
reconstitution of the telecommunications SAPC. One major task, according to the TOR, 
was to help present the “Antennae System Siting & Consultation Protocol” at a future 
Community Information Meeting (CIM). He wanted to clarify that was the focus, not the 
overall strategy. As to presenting the protocol, which protocol would the SAPC be asked 
to present? The one prepared by the SAPC for the LTC, or the one prepared by Staff, 
which amended the recommendations and presented concerns? He was unsure he felt 
comfortable being reappointed. With respect to the Staff Report of July 10, 2017 
containing the TOR, he was unclear as to what the Chair was being asked to do (TOR, 
s.13), especially with regard to providing written summaries. The SAPC minutes clearly 
outline those discussions. He asked whether there needed to be a separate report or 
whether the minutes sufficed. He noted that Staff has not commented on other matters 
brought forward by SAPC.
