1. CALL TO ORDER 
 
Chair Grams called the meeting to order at 9:45 a.m. He welcomed the public and 
acknowledged that the meeting was being held in the territory of the Coast Salish First 
Nations. 
 
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA 
 
By general consent, the agenda was approved as presented. 
 
3. TOWN HALL AND QUESTIONS 
 
Candice Zell asked if it was true that Short Term Vacation Rental (STVR) regulations 
would prohibit small children. The LTC responded that this was not part of the bylaw.  
  
Michael Sketch made (with rationales) several requests of the LTC, including the 
following:  
 That they address discarded road-work materials, such as asphalt, directly in the 
Official Community Plan (OCP) and Land-Use Bylaw (LUB). 
 That they address additional terms of the Waste and Resource Management 
project, such as operator interviews, concurrently with public consultation.  
 That they consider passing a Soil Deposit Bylaw.  
 That they request the Capital Regional District (CRD) release the location of the 
discarded asphalt waste from the contract 2012-693. 
 That Trustee Masselink discloses if he was the environmental monitor for 
contract 2012-693.  
 That they amend the Town Hall section of the minutes of July 28, 2016 to state 
that Trustee Masselink called Mr. Sketch’s comments “disingenuous”, not Mr. 
Sketch himself.

that a Bylaw Officer would be in attendance later in the meeting and could be a resource 
for information on the issue.  
 
Donn Korbin provided comments on the recent Waste and Resource Management 
Meeting, including the following points:  
 Several in attendance are associated with special interest groups, thus not 
constituting a random sampling of North Pender Island.  
 Input from South Pender Island would be appropriately sourced through the 
South Pender LTC rather than directly from South Pender participants in such 
meetings.  
 The online questionnaire was inconsistent with the requirements for a public 
meeting.  
 The Draft Report provides misleading information from the polls taken as there 
was opportunity for strategic voting, the group was not a random sample, and the 
sample size was very
