BEO Drew stated that the new bylaw enforcement system being 
proposed does not introduce any new regulations and is intended to 
be a tool to gain compliance of a bylaw. BEO Drew stated that the new 
system is not about revenue but rather about bettering communities 
via voluntary compliance and offering a more convenient and easier 
adjudication system.  
 
There was some discussion regarding process, fines, dispute 
resolution, screening officers and the full and condensed versions.  
 
Chair Hancock invited the Trustees to ask questions. 
 
There was some discussion regarding ongoing issues of non-

Trustee Pottle asked if the Local Trust Committee (LTC) appoints a 
 screening officer.  
 
BEO Drew responded that the LTC can do so but would need to be 
 decided and in order to avoid bias the Regional Planning Manager 
 (RPM) would become involved.  
 
Chair Hancock asked for more information regarding the background 
 of the current system.  
 
BEO Drew responded that the current system of enforcement is 
complaint(s) driven except when environmental (eg: seawalls), 
advertising or agency referral infractions are involved. He stated that 
the new system would be no different from the current one in terms of 
wanting compliance but in the face of non-compliance this new system 
aids as another tool to nudge the system along for the purpose of 
gaining compliance. BEO Drew stated that the new system has had 
positive results in the communities that have chosen to adopt it.
