1. CALL TO ORDER 
Chair Busheikin called the meeting to order at 12:31 pm.  Chair Busheikin introduced 
herself and staff members present. She acknowledged that the meeting was being held 
in traditional territory of the Coast Salish First Nations. There were approximately 75 
members of the public attending.  
 
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA 
The following changes to the agenda were presented for consideration: 
 
- Item 9.2 was added - a letter from Nancy McPhee. 
- Item 11.2 GL-TUP-2015.1 (Woodstone) - application was removed by the applicant. 
- Item 11.4.1 added a table with respect to GL-RZ-2013.1 (Landworks). 
- Item 15.2 was added with respect to the 2016 Galiano Island Local Trust Committee 
(LTC) meeting schedule. 
 
By general consent the agenda was approved as amended. 
 
3. TOWN HALL AND QUESTIONS 
The Chair explained what could be heard at the Local Trust Council (LTC) meeting. As 
GL-RZ-2013.1 (Land works) is post-public hearing, the LTC is legally obliged not to hear 
any new information, unless it is technical information about an application.  
 
 Correspondence received over the last 48 hours with respect to Landworks has been 
forwarded to staff for review. Ideally, letters to the LTC should be received 10 days prior 
to the LTC meeting so they may be added to the agenda. The Thursday prior to the LTC 
meeting is the latest possible time for correspondence to be accepted in an orderly 
fashion.  
 
 Acting Planner 2 Kim Farris discussed correspondence about open application files. She 
thanked people for letters respecting the Crystal Mountain Society’s (CMS) application. If

meeting date.

website within a week and circulated to the LTC.
