Galiano Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, December 5, 2023

[0:00:00] Voice 3: The stream's loading up.

[0:00:01] Voice 3: You

[0:00:02] Voice 11: just tell me when you're ready.

[0:00:11] Voice 11: Go on.

[0:00:12] Voice 6: Okay.

[0:00:14] Voice 6: So, good morning, everyone, members of the public and the executive team here.

[0:00:20] Voice 6: My name is Peter Luckman.

[0:00:22] Voice 4: I'm

[0:00:22] Voice 6: the elected chair of the trust council, and we're here in Squamish, in Squamish territory,

[0:00:28] Voice 6: the Gwankun-speaking peoples, and we're right down in the inner harbor here in what would

[0:00:36] Voice 6: have been one of the epicenters of Coast Salish life, activity, access to the sea,

[0:00:43] Voice 6: access to the many, many nations that neighbor Victoria along the coastlines,

[0:00:49] Voice 6: across the, across Juan de Fuca Strait over to Namaskation at the moment,

[0:00:57] Voice 6: but all of the nations in Washington State as well.

[0:01:01] Voice 6: And so this is a thriving and rich place.

[0:01:03] Voice 6: so it's a real privilege to be here and remember those things. I think that's what's important,

[0:01:07] Voice 6: to remember the rich culture and history that's been here, although certainly it is interlaced

[0:01:12] Voice 6: with country tragedy which came with us as colonial settlers and I want to acknowledge

[0:01:19] Voice 6: that too and work towards making a better situation in the long term. So I'm just going

[0:01:29] Voice 6: introduce my colleagues here i'm going to start with the rm david monk thank

[0:01:32] Voice 2: you david from the

[0:02:14] Voice 6: you good morning claire trader good morning good

[0:02:17] Voice 6: morning everyone all right so we have an agenda

[0:02:20] Voice 6: out before us and uh i'll just ask if there's any additions or deletions to that um i'm just going

[0:02:29] Voice 6: to turn to stat and trustees at the moment see you well this is sure you may wish to consider

[0:02:35] Voice 8: the letter from metro yeah at least

[0:02:37] Voice 9: for um receipt yes and um given the timing of this receipt

[0:02:44] Voice 9: um i think you would need some some time analysis and review before you make any potential decisions

[0:02:50] Voice 9: had any significant

[0:02:52] Voice 6: conversations about it okay i'm going to add that to uh 9.5

[0:02:57] Voice 6: letter from metro regarding uh bowen island project curtis campground okay

[0:03:05] Voice 11: and

[0:03:05] Voice 6: uh anything else um i'm going to acknowledge that we received a very late request from

[0:03:12] Voice 6: uh michael sketch to reconsider his delegation um quite honestly i don't think we have opportunity

[0:03:18] Voice 6: for that, but I'm just going to add 9.6 to acknowledge that the correspondence came in.

[0:03:23] Voice 11: I think that'll do it for today.

[0:03:29] Voice 6: All right, so then let's adopt the agenda as amended

[0:03:35] Voice 6: and continue on with our pre-council meeting. Nothing to report from the previous closed

[0:03:44] Voice 6: meeting and adoption meeting.

[0:03:49] Voice 11: Is there any changes to those minutes from anybody?

[0:03:52] Voice 11: Okay,

[0:03:57] Voice 6: so no changes to those minutes so we will adopt the draft the draft executive committee minutes and number 22 by general consent as presented.

[0:04:09] Voice 6: So this brings us to a follow up action list. We probably won't go into as much detail as we usually might, and a pre council meeting because we have a limited amount of time here today, but I'm just going to turn to the CAO and ask him to direct me to other

[0:04:24] Voice 6: other directors if there's any updates that we could have today over to you sir uh

[0:04:28] Voice 9: thank you very

[0:04:29] Voice 9: much um I can't think of anything of significance to report since we last met um I think any HR

[0:04:37] Voice 9: matters are reasonably in hand and we would update you as any touch on the opening search filled

[0:04:44] Voice 9: um we have a whole agenda here we've got no particular response from trustees you are aware

[0:04:53] Voice 9: there is a late item that's come trustee patrick and bulk yes that is trust council got that

[0:05:02] Voice 9: yesterday yes otherwise i can't think of anything from a trust council preparation perspective

[0:05:08] Voice 9: or a content perspective that we you really need to address at this time

[0:05:11] Voice 9: and primarily my my focus has been production of this upcoming so uh

[0:05:18] Voice 8: i will give you one brief

[0:05:19] Voice 8: update

[0:05:19] Voice 11: and

[0:05:21] Voice 8: i'm going to thank stefan cermak here um

[0:05:23] Voice 9: for it um we have um as you're aware the province

[0:05:27] Voice 9: is um passing a raft of legislation associated with housing um the islands trust has is is touched

[0:05:38] Voice 9: by a number of elements not comprehensively as some of these problems and problems are but we

[0:05:43] Voice 9: are attached by some of these acts and there's of course funding that's being released by the

[0:05:48] Voice 9: problems associated with some of these statutes and new regulations um we have been in discussion

[0:05:55] Voice 9: with the ministry of housing and the trust is being contemplated for funding wherever

[0:06:01] Voice 9: we have a legislative obligation and that so there's no funding levels being determined

[0:06:09] Voice 9: and they have yet to really describe this obligation other than the housing analysis

[0:06:16] Voice 9: is work that we're we have to refresh um so i think that's primarily where we're at but i just

[0:06:22] Voice 9: want to let you know that that conversation is ongoing and this isn't a notion of the the trust is

[0:06:27] Voice 9: not being they are not aware of the trust in the area so that's another question i think

[0:06:37] Voice 9: so we'll see to what degree that is and i really have no other question than that right

[0:06:42] Voice 9: but some level of assurance so um you're referring to the housing needs assessments

[0:06:48] Voice 9: I'm assuming that's what, yeah, as a business case that there's potential for funding there, like how positive?

[0:06:58] Voice 9: Oh, there

[0:06:59] Voice 9: will be some. I do not know. And I am right on the edge of, I have nothing more to add.

[0:07:07] Voice 11: But I think it's

[0:07:08] Voice 9: generally a better outcome than some of the outcomes around these things where we find ourselves often reminding.

[0:07:18] Voice 9: for funding so that's it yeah and that's the to tell me my report i don't know whether any of the

[0:07:24] Voice 9: directors have anything particular i'd open up to them if they really want to bring your attention

[0:07:28] Voice 9: to something in particular but our mind is on the next three days um any of the directors have

[0:07:34] Voice 9: anything to report yeah no

[0:07:37] Voice 6: no okay well i just want to say thank you on the provincial funding

[0:07:41] Voice 6: potential because indeed housing needs assessments is the most obvious thing that is a significant

[0:07:48] Voice 6: expense that other trustees have also represented so if there's any opportunity

[0:07:53] Voice 6: through this process for that kind of um supportive work that'd be fantastic

[0:08:03] Voice 6: okay so let us keep going then so from there we'll go to vice chairs in their uh local trust

[0:08:10] Voice 6: committee updates i'm going to start here with jim and work my way down the table today

[0:08:14] Voice 6: it's so nice to actually sit here

[0:08:16] Voice 6: in this space

[0:08:19] Voice 6: I'm just

[0:08:20] Voice 10: trying to think

[0:08:21] Voice 10: I don't think I've had any LTC

[0:08:25] Voice 10: meetings since our last

[0:08:26] Voice 10: EC meeting

[0:08:31] Voice 10: no according to my

[0:08:32] Voice 10: calendar I have not so

[0:08:34] Voice 10: I'll just highlight that

[0:08:38] Voice 10: really briefly the

[0:08:40] Voice 10: Salt Spring LTC has

[0:08:44] Voice 10: sort of

[0:08:47] Voice 10: We're determined on a new path forward in terms of addressing the question of accessory

[0:08:55] Voice 10: dwelling units and we're hoping to see how that is going to play out.

[0:08:59] Voice 10: It's much different than the original By-law 530 in many ways, especially in the scope

[0:09:07] Voice 10: and we're waiting to see how the pilot project for spot zoning will play out to be an adjunct

[0:09:21] Voice 10: with that. But I think for myself, it felt like we made a significant breakthrough in terms of

[0:09:31] Voice 10: the unanimity of the LTC at that meeting. So I think that was really positive. I think we all

[0:09:37] Voice 10: left that meaning, feeling good about where we were at and having a path

[0:09:45] Voice 10: forward on that

[0:09:45] Voice 10: and really looking towards the larger work of the OCP and land use bylaw review.

[0:09:54] Voice 10: So that's arguably more impactful in the long term.

[0:10:00] Voice 10: um and the other thing i would highlight is that uh the um penelaket tribe uh had

[0:10:10] Voice 10: allowed uh some staff and a couple of trustees from galliano to uh attend part of their meeting

[0:10:19] Voice 10: on november 27th and i think again that was a that was a good first step in uh building a

[0:10:26] Voice 10: a new relationship um and we brought uh staff introduced a couple of items that

[0:10:33] Voice 10: we think are important to uh bring directly to the to the chief and council for for their

[0:10:41] Voice 10: input and discussion in terms of galliana land use most exciting uh from my perspective anyway

[0:10:48] Voice 10: way as the potential for some land transfers from some of the F1 rezoning applications in the

[0:10:57] Voice 10: north of Galliana. So I'm interested to see how that plays out. And then, of course, we're very

[0:11:03] Voice 10: happy to know that the minister has signed off on

[0:11:09] Voice 9: the protocol agreement with the NOS Nation.

[0:11:11] Voice 9: that's it for me

[0:11:14] Voice 9: Toby Elliot

[0:11:16] Voice 9: thank you

[0:11:17] Voice 9: the main LTC had

[0:11:19] Voice 9: our meeting on November 27

[0:11:22] Voice 9: and I think

[0:11:25] Voice 9: maybe the big piece of business

[0:11:28] Voice 9: the DRD

[0:11:28] Voice 9: St. John's Place application

[0:11:32] Voice 9: to

[0:11:35] Voice 9: address

[0:11:35] Voice 9: a non-farm use of the land

[0:11:37] Voice 9: that's being

[0:11:38] Voice 9: is it a regional park?

[0:11:40] Voice 9: it's it's it's a i'm still learning about the process but it's going to be held in advance

[0:11:46] Voice 9: until um until we hear back from the alc about um their thoughts on it but um it was a good

[0:11:53] Voice 9: conversation about the appropriate type of zoning which should probably be conservation resource so

[0:12:00] Voice 9: that's um yeah it's a great conversation and then just a late piece of news about the fallow deer

[0:12:05] Voice 9: um committee and i know work has started officially by the joint um um project to

[0:12:17] Voice 9: eliminate and control the fallow deer population and that's been a long-standing

[0:12:21] Voice 9: huge issue for this um community and it looks like we're about to see a new framework for moving

[0:12:28] Voice 9: moving forward from the local fallow deer committee on main so I'm interested to see if we could have

[0:12:35] Voice 9: them present at our next LTC meeting and I think there was no report on the housing project um lots

[0:12:45] Voice 9: of discussion on the led amendments and yeah it was a great meeting even though I wasn't able to

[0:12:51] Voice 9: be there in person very sad that's it for me

[0:12:56] Voice 11: thank you thank you no we

[0:12:59] Voice 2: actually accomplished

[0:13:01] Voice 2: quite a good meeting with the chair of electronics

[0:13:04] Voice 1: well

[0:13:06] Voice 2: well i think what really helped was really

[0:13:08] Voice 2: the only two members of the public showed up and only for a few days maybe for an hour so

[0:13:14] Voice 2: there was a lot of it actually worked well yeah so my if i had um no meetings um we were supposed

[0:13:20] have a north pender ltc meeting but um we had one trustee who was out of the

[0:13:25] Voice 2: country who was

[0:13:26] Voice 2: intending on zooming in and then we have another um trustee who no longer resides on the island

[0:13:32] Voice 2: who decided last moment that she wanted to zoom in but under our meeting rules we have to have two

[0:13:38] two members in the room so we had to at the last minute while i was on the ferry across

[0:13:43] to Bender Island had to cancel unfortunately so we're having to reschedule that to sometime in

[0:13:52] January so it was an interesting day as I drove off the ferry on Bender, zoomed around, drove

[0:14:00] back on the ferry and got back to Maine Island just in time for a community meeting on this

[0:14:06] ocean with development so it ended up it was okay it wasn't it

[0:14:10] Voice 2: wasn't a wasted day for me but

[0:14:11] Voice 2: of BC Ferries got to see way more

[0:14:13] Voice 2: than what they wanted to see, I mean, so.

[0:14:15] Voice 11: That's about it.

[0:14:18] Voice 6: Okay, thank you.

[0:14:20] Voice 6: So from my perspective, overall activities,

[0:14:24] Voice 6: I just want to note that on Wednesday,

[0:14:27] Voice 6: we had the CityView presentation

[0:14:29] Voice 6: about the bylaw enforcement module of the CityView product,

[0:14:35] Voice 6: as well as an oversight on the overall functionality

[0:14:38] Voice 6: of that piece of software that was requested

[0:14:41] Voice 6: by trustees for the budget process, if I'm not mistaken.

[0:14:45] Voice 6: And certainly that was quite interesting.

[0:14:48] Voice 6: There's lots of opportunities in that project,

[0:14:50] Voice 6: but it also, for me anyway,

[0:14:52] Voice 6: identified how different the Atlas Trust is

[0:14:54] Voice 6: from other municipal or regional agencies

[0:14:57] Voice 6: that use this software,

[0:14:59] Voice 6: in particular that we don't manage building permits.

[0:15:01] Voice 6: And so that's a piece of the equation

[0:15:03] Voice 6: that somehow we need to facilitate.

[0:15:05] Voice 6: And the vendor, in answer to a question on that,

[0:15:08] Voice 6: seemed to think there was some possibilities there,

[0:15:11] Voice 6: but hopefully council supports advancing this product forward and we'll get to see that rolled

[0:15:18] Voice 6: out in the near future. There's significant benefits to the members of the public as well

[0:15:22] Voice 6: as staff as well. It's not just a staff side product and I think that's a real exciting

[0:15:29] Voice 6: opportunity for the public to be able to actually see what's happening and how things are being

[0:15:33] Voice 6: process so uh that was a good session um gabrielle island um on the thursday also a good uh meeting

[0:15:41] Voice 6: advancing the work of the ocp um and just let you know that uh particularly uh interesting uh

[0:15:51] Voice 6: development permit on the island being central stage holdings is now formally on hold for 90

[0:15:58] Voice 6: days from October 19th for a consultation with the Slin Emo First Nation and so that they've

[0:16:05] Voice 6: expressed interest and concerns and so that will come forward to help inform us what more work

[0:16:11] Voice 6: may or may not need to be done and what the relationship with the ARC branch is on that

[0:16:16] Voice 6: particular project and our legislative requirements and I thought that was a terrific meeting actually

[0:16:24] Voice 6: we ended at a good time and got a lot of good work done and

[0:16:27] Voice 6: they're grateful to the staff for all of

[0:16:29] Voice 6: their support on those items um i was supposed to attend uh the mountain arrow smith bio region

[0:16:37] Voice 6: round table conference on the friday and had uh was all set to go and all set to get on the ferry

[0:16:44] Voice 6: in fact sat on the ferry for two hours before it was decided that it wasn't going to sail

[0:16:48] Voice 6: and it was sufficient time for me to get to the meeting without being an hour late and for two

[0:16:53] Voice 6: hour meeting. It was a stretch for me to go for a two-hour meeting anyway, and to go an hour late

[0:16:57] Voice 6: would have been not practical. So I ended up having to bail out on that after sitting around

[0:17:02] Voice 6: on the ferry for a couple hours. We've had a lot of trouble with the ferry. And then just mentioning

[0:17:08] Voice 6: on the note of ferries, a really great piece of news just last week, a couple days ago now,

[0:17:16] Voice 6: was the BC ferry. So it's renamed the Thetis Island Ferry from the motor vessel Cuper to the

[0:17:22] Voice 6: the motor vessel spelt in Halkamena, Peneliket.

[0:17:27] Voice 6: And it's interesting that after all these years,

[0:17:30] Voice 6: when it was pointed out right from the beginning,

[0:17:32] Voice 6: even by myself to be seafarers,

[0:17:35] Voice 6: that when it was named Cupra, that was an inappropriate name

[0:17:37] Voice 6: because the name of the community, which was called Cupra Island,

[0:17:41] Voice 6: had been changed to Peneliket Island in the very same period of time.

[0:17:48] Voice 6: But they backpedaled at the time that they were honoring

[0:17:50] Voice 6: the first mate of the sailing vessel, HMCS Thetis,

[0:17:56] Voice 6: I think probably it was, and not identifying the island,

[0:18:00] Voice 6: but they've now come back to realizing

[0:18:03] Voice 6: that the vessel could be named differently,

[0:18:05] Voice 6: and they've done that.

[0:18:06] Voice 6: And the Penelakut people, there's a YouTube thing

[0:18:09] Voice 6: that was on the news and stuff,

[0:18:10] Voice 6: that are quite happy about this final,

[0:18:15] Voice 6: much appreciated change.

[0:18:17] Voice 11: So

[0:18:17] Voice 6: other than that,

[0:18:18] Voice 6: to press council preparation you know on the other activity have been evolving we

[0:18:23] Voice 9: had a special

[0:18:23] Voice 9: meeting as well that was

[0:18:25] Voice 6: the day before i reported that out oh

[0:18:27] Voice 9: you did yeah sorry

[0:18:31] Voice 6: water budget and uh ocp and public engagement and that was the day before that last

[0:18:37] Voice 6: thank you that's good glad somebody's keeping my toes

[0:18:43] Voice 6: host. All right. So let us move along outside of reporting. I'll just consider seeing no further

[0:18:51] Voice 6: update. That's great. So what we have here is an important piece of our work at the executive

[0:18:56] Voice 6: committee is bylaw approval. And we have Galleon Island Local Controls Committee bylaw number 287

[0:19:01] Voice 6: and 288. And I'll turn to Vice Chair Maude to assist us with those. And

[0:19:13] Voice 10: i'll just start with the motions here i moved that island's trust executive committee approved

[0:19:17] Voice 10: galliano island local trust committee bylaw number 287 cited as galliano island official

[0:19:23] Voice 10: community plan bylaw number 108 1995 amendment number two 2022 in accordance with section 27

[0:19:33] Voice 10: of the island's trust act all right

[0:19:35] Voice 10: so do i have a second trustee uh vice chair elliott thank you

[0:19:38] Voice 10: and yours to speak to the motion i think it's uh fairly straightforward and hopefully everyone's

[0:19:43] Voice 10: read the uh briefing here indeed um are there any questions well one in particular on page 36

[0:19:51] yeah um the theme asylum local trust committee um it's noted the

[0:19:56] Voice 2: contact is laura patrick

[0:19:58] Voice 6: well it was and so that's interesting oh

[0:20:02] Voice 9: back in 2022 maybe when it was

[0:20:04] Voice 6: when that was originally

[0:20:05] Voice 6: Regionally, yeah, yeah. Okay, so it's just the referral system.

[0:20:11] Voice 6: He was the vice chair in the previous chair.

[0:20:15] Voice 9: So I

[0:20:16] Voice 6: think that's probably why, and you have seen it.

[0:20:20] Voice 6: Yeah.

[0:20:22] Voice 1: Okay,

[0:20:22] Voice 6: so is there any further discussion? All those in favor? So that carries unanimously. Back to you, Vice Chair Peterson.

[0:20:30] Voice 6: i move

[0:20:31] Voice 10: that the islands trust executive committee approved galliano island local trust committee

[0:20:35] Voice 10: bylaw number 288 cited as galliano island land use bylaw number 127 1999 amendment number two

[0:20:43] Voice 10: 2022 in accordance with section 27 of the island's trust act and do i have a secondary

[0:20:49] Voice 10: thank

[0:20:51] Voice 6: you um is you wish to speak to it any further discussion all those in favor

[0:20:57] Voice 6: that two carries okay that's great so you're doing okay emily i'm not leaving you behind at all

[0:21:03] Voice 6: okay excellent so let us go now to trust council meeting preparation um there's one new item listed

[0:21:12] Voice 6: here um i think just before we launch into i just want to make sure that everybody has seen

[0:21:20] Voice 6: there'll be a new business item request from trustee patrick regarding um cao annual review

[0:21:28] Voice 6: employee review process and so that will require two-thirds support from council to end up on

[0:21:34] Voice 6: the agenda as a late item and um we can certainly have that uh discussion um i think some of you

[0:21:41] Voice 6: know already we've had some conversations about advancing that on a regular basis and so we'll

[0:21:47] Voice 6: of my perhaps represent that work the exception kidney has already started although fairly light

[0:21:54] Voice 6: at this point um when that item comes up or if that item comes up accordingly and then the second

[0:22:01] Voice 6: um item i want to mention was my follow-up conversation with christie boland with respect

[0:22:09] Voice 6: to the rfd that she had advanced and um a quite lengthy conversation uh about that um and that

[0:22:17] Voice 6: are concerns that there wasn't necessarily an adequate amount of information in order

[0:22:21] Voice 6: for us to make a fully informed decision to advance the process.

[0:22:25] Voice 6: Although she certainly understood some of that, she was also frustrated with the pace

[0:22:31] Voice 6: at which things happen and is simply trying to move this along in a more progressive way.

[0:22:39] Voice 6: And she has not gotten back to me and wasn't expecting that.

[0:22:43] Voice 6: But she was going to consider everything that was said and determine what action she might take in respect of advancing that.

[0:22:52] Voice 6: What item exactly?

[0:22:54] Voice 6: That was the change.

[0:22:57] Voice 6: Well, it's broad.

[0:22:58] Voice 6: Was that from September?

[0:23:00] Voice 6: Yes.

[0:23:00] Voice 6: And it's the changing of how Trust Council meets?

[0:23:03] Voice 6: That's correct.

[0:23:04] Voice 6: Yeah.

[0:23:04] Voice 6: Okay.

[0:23:05] Voice 6: And so it's

[0:23:06] Voice 4: not discussed at Trust Council substantially.

[0:23:08] Voice 4: No, I thought it was the other item that she added later.

[0:23:11] Voice 4: fair um that item it was on our executive committee yeah it's the one that you refused

[0:23:16] Voice 4: and yeah oh it's a different one yeah right

[0:23:20] Voice 4: except that

[0:23:21] Voice 9: it's all sort of that's the

[0:23:24] Voice 9: governance review matter is the one that has that was not accepted for that's correct i just wanted

[0:23:31] Voice 9: to see clarity there thank

[0:23:32] Voice 6: you yeah that's one that hasn't gone that's correct yeah and so she's

[0:23:37] Voice 6: going to pull a lot of these pieces together to determine what sort of action she wants to take

[0:23:43] Voice 6: with respect to trying to advance that work i encourage her to speak to the chair of the

[0:23:47] Voice 6: governance committee um and determine a course of action through them that perhaps that her

[0:23:51] Voice 6: um presentation might be more suitable on that with that body for that body to advance that

[0:23:57] Voice 6: so we'll see um so if there's nothing else associated with trust council meeting

[0:24:05] Voice 6: the meeting preparation, I'll

[0:24:05] Voice 6: go to the first quarter,

[0:24:07] Voice 6: quarter two finessing forecast.

[0:24:09] Voice 6: So Toby, Elliot, do you have something?

[0:24:11] Voice 9: I just wondered, had we seen the presentation materials

[0:24:14] Voice 9: for the one allegations we did endorse,

[0:24:16] Voice 9: the Deb Theron's sensitive ecosystem mapping?

[0:24:20] Voice 9: Very good question,

[0:24:22] Voice 9: I don't know.

[0:24:24] Voice 9: Because we accepted it as a late item

[0:24:29] Voice 9: and hadn't seen, and understood the materials were coming.

[0:24:32] Voice 9: We've considered them at the meeting right before.

[0:24:36] Voice 9: In fairness, but I haven't seen anything so there's anybody haven't answered.

[0:24:41] Voice 6: know.

[0:24:42] Voice 6: Okay yeah and Robert isn't here don't know that anybody was necessarily tasked with doing that.

[0:24:52] Voice 9: Myself and Robert I don't think you have seen them so so

[0:24:59] Voice 6: obviously we've got it on the agenda we've advised the applicant in some regards that she.

[0:25:06] Voice 6: to expect to attend and um i think that just a circumstantial uh

[0:25:15] Voice 6: circumstances have um have confounded us on that and so i think we'll

[0:25:21] Voice 4: just proceed with it yeah so

[0:25:22] Voice 4: i reference the delegation yes oh yeah no i do have information on that um she's withdrawn the

[0:25:27] Voice 4: delegation

[0:25:29] Voice 11: right so

[0:25:31] Voice 11: we don't need to worry about it okay

[0:25:33] Voice 11: then

[0:25:35] Voice 6: what i do need to do is advise counsel

[0:25:37] Voice 6: so that there are no allegations.

[0:25:40] Voice 6: Correct.

[0:25:40] Voice 6: Okay.

[0:25:41] Voice 9: We have a whole afternoon then of just public comments.

[0:25:46] Voice 9: Oh, sorry, someone.

[0:25:47] Voice 9: Yeah.

[0:25:50] Voice 11: That's okay.

[0:25:52] Voice 11: We'll fill the time.

[0:25:56] Voice 9: Well, I do want to ask,

[0:25:58] Voice 9: are we coming back from lunch and going straight into public comments?

[0:26:01] Voice 9: That would be what we would do, yeah.

[0:26:04] Voice 1: Okay.

[0:26:05] Voice 6: And there's no doubt there'll be individuals that will address us in that public comment period.

[0:26:12] Voice 6: So it certainly

[0:26:12] Voice 9: gives us a little bit more relaxed space in that public comment section.

[0:26:18] Voice 9: OK, but then this begs the question, we are turning down a late submission.

[0:26:24] Voice 9: I think Michael Sketch, the reason was there was no room, and now that Truman is sketching, I'm just trying to...

[0:26:30] Voice 6: I don't know that that was the reason why it was turned down.

[0:26:33] Voice 4: but david no again he was returned down in september and one of the reasons was there's

[0:26:39] Voice 4: no time on the agenda oh so

[0:26:41] Voice 6: not for december okay all

[0:26:44] Voice 6: right so he did not make a request for it

[0:26:46] Voice 6: that's why i wasn't clear on what the yeah i

[0:26:49] Voice 9: was yeah yeah

[0:26:50] Voice 6: so um he could have made a delegation

[0:26:53] Voice 6: request much earlier yeah and i think that in fairness because his submissions are quite

[0:26:58] Voice 6: detailed we'd want to be sure that folks had that opportunity to read them i would think

[0:27:03] Voice 6: yeah um vice chairs do you have any suggestions with respect to that we'll continue on with the

[0:27:09] Voice 6: agenda as is no delegation and that'll give us more opportunity for public comment and certainly

[0:27:15] Voice 6: michael steph will attend on the public comment and he's done that in the past um anything else

[0:27:22] Voice 6: before i go to quarter two financial forecast okay so the quarter two financial forecast uh

[0:27:30] Voice 6: CAO yourself or Julia?

[0:27:31] Voice 6: Is she with us online? She's not.

[0:27:33] Voice 6: She submitted this for you. You can

[0:27:35] Voice 6: receive it. Okay. And this is

[0:27:37] Voice 6: received and to be forwarded to

[0:27:39] Voice 6: Council for consideration.

[0:27:40] Voice 6: And has the Financial

[0:27:43] Voice 6: Plan Committee Chair

[0:27:45] Voice 6: seen this? Do we know?

[0:27:46] Voice 4: So my understanding

[0:27:47] Voice 4: is this is an update to

[0:27:49] Voice 4: the one that's

[0:27:50] Voice 4: already on your agenda. Yeah.

[0:27:51] Voice 4: So I don't know if it's just an update.

[0:27:53] Voice 11: Yeah.

[0:27:54] Voice 4: I believe that the

[0:27:55] Voice 4: Director of Financial Spies can make some

[0:27:58] Voice 4: edits

[0:27:58] Voice 6: to your update.

[0:27:59] Voice 4: members okay so

[0:28:02] Voice 6: any questions on that one then by general consent i will forward the um sorry

[0:28:12] Voice 6: screensavers when it's not plugged in um

[0:28:14] Voice 6: i will forward the quarter two financial

[0:28:16] Voice 6: forecast to council as presented

[0:28:18] Voice 11: by

[0:28:19] Voice 6: general consent all right so we'll continue on uh

[0:28:23] Voice 6: through here we don't have anything in the projects area today i'm under new business um

[0:28:30] Voice 6: There's no items other than a new business item at 9.5, which was the letters from Metro

[0:28:39] Voice 6: Vancouver regarding Cape Roger Curtis Park.

[0:28:47] Voice 6: I'm pleased to see this letter, as I'm sure the rest of you are.

[0:28:50] Voice 6: It's quite substantial.

[0:28:52] Voice 6: I've only really glossed over it, and I don't think there's an opportunity for us to really

[0:28:56] Voice 6: discuss it.

[0:28:56] Voice 6: So I think

[0:28:57] Voice 6: we'll receive this and bring it back to your next meeting.

[0:29:02] Voice 6: And at this time, should we be requesting any options or we'll just have that conversation when we get it the first time?

[0:29:08] Voice 6: We will

[0:29:09] Voice 9: prepare you with something. We won't wait for you to ask us.

[0:29:16] Voice 9: Is

[0:29:16] Voice 6: there a time restriction to this or not that we shouldn't proceed at a reasonable pace?

[0:29:23] Voice 6: But there's no 30 day limitation, right?

[0:29:26] Voice 6: Oh,

[0:29:26] Voice 9: no. There's the 60 days. Is

[0:29:31] Voice 8: that what you're about to remind us?

[0:29:33] Voice 8: No, I just wanted to remind you that this letter was actually addressed to Bowen Island Municipality.

[0:29:39] Voice 8: So you're being CC'd on this. So you don't need any action, by the way, in order for

[0:29:44] Voice 8: us to prime you.

[0:29:44] Voice 8: So there's no time limit for that.

[0:29:46] Voice 8: Oh, actually, okay. So you're just going to brief us on

[0:29:48] Voice 6: the letter.

[0:29:50] Voice 6: Okay. Because, of course, it's interesting. There's a lot of public interest in this.

[0:29:56] Voice 6: And, of course, one, the Adams Trust continues to support.

[0:30:00] Voice 6: point of view. But I get confused on this as well, because it's not our issue. It's

[0:30:07] Voice 6: an issue going on in this valley, and it's up to them to provide direction back to Metro

[0:30:13] Voice 6: Vancouver. We made our

[0:30:15] Voice 6: early referral statement, which isn't even, they need to rejig things,

[0:30:23] Voice 6: although it sounds, we'll just have to read the letter. Is there any other questions or

[0:30:28] Voice 6: comments on that we'll just receive information we'll see it at our next meeting okay well i think

[0:30:33] Voice 2: my only point of clarification is uh about

[0:30:37] Voice 11: density um well we can have that conversation

[0:30:42] Voice 11: yeah so

[0:30:43] Voice 9: uh

[0:30:48] Voice 6: ceo perhaps um if vice chairs have any questions they might forward them to rpm

[0:31:01] Voice 6: in order that when you are prepared to brief us that maybe those topics could be highlighted.

[0:31:09] Voice 6: Although we don't need to get too far down this rabbit hole because we've just been copied

[0:31:18] Voice 6: it and certainly there's implications for the Alms Trust in it, but Tilbo and I would

[0:31:23] Voice 6: ask specifically for

[0:31:24] Voice 9: something we don't really have anything else to say.

[0:31:27] Voice 9: Okay, so you'll just look after it.

[0:31:31] Voice 9: It will only change you with the reform.

[0:31:33] Voice 9: Okay, if I send you some questions,

[0:31:34] Voice 6: that tends to be with you.

[0:31:36] Voice 6: Toby Allen?

[0:31:37] Voice 9: Yes, we kind of skipped over the advocacy topics.

[0:31:42] Voice 9: Oh,

[0:31:42] Voice 6: I'm sorry, yeah, go ahead.

[0:31:44] Voice 6: I'm going

[0:31:44] Voice 9: to, I wanted to raise two,

[0:31:47] Voice 9: well, ask two questions.

[0:31:48] Voice 9: So the letter requesting support from Gabriela,

[0:31:53] Voice 9: requesting support of the province

[0:31:54] Voice 9: and the federal government too,

[0:31:57] Voice 9: towards the protection of Indigenous cultural heritage. Where are we at with that? We sort of

[0:32:01] Voice 9: had a conversation last EC, but I didn't understand. I was going to work with Renee

[0:32:07] Voice 9: to bring it

[0:32:07] Voice 7: back to your December 20th meeting. Oh, wonderful.

[0:32:10] Voice 6: Is there not a letter in, oh no,

[0:32:12] Voice 6: it's just a request from Gabriella. Yeah. Okay. So that's it working for us.

[0:32:18] Voice 7: Yeah. We're going

[0:32:18] Voice 7: to bring it back to your December 20th meeting to consider a collective violence trust response

[0:32:22] Voice 7: rather than just from one local trust committee if that's and if executive committee deemed it then

[0:32:27] Voice 7: not to act then abril could

[0:32:29] Voice 1: consider

[0:32:31] Voice 7: moving okay so

[0:32:33] Voice 4: which item is lost uh

[0:32:35] Voice 7: ltc advocacy

[0:32:35] Voice 7: oh yeah okay

[0:32:37] Voice 4: that's nine

[0:32:38] Voice 4: point two point two point one i passed okay thank you

[0:32:43] Voice 4: and

[0:32:43] Voice 9: then this second question um director sermac we talked about this the letters of support

[0:32:51] Voice 9: for the housing applications that are going in

[0:32:55] Voice 9: for various LTCs.

[0:32:57] Voice 9: We're supposed to get names of the specific applications

[0:32:59] Voice 9: so that executive committee could write a letter of support.

[0:33:03] Voice 9: And this came from RPC, but it wasn't...

[0:33:09] Voice 9: We didn't take action yet.

[0:33:12] Voice 9: No,

[0:33:13] Voice 8: it was covered in my director's report to EC,

[0:33:15] Voice 8: one of the bulleted items there,

[0:33:17] Voice 8: but we didn't speak specifically to it.

[0:33:18] Voice 8: And the request was from the regional department

[0:33:21] Voice 8: committee to the executive committee to write a letter an advocacy letter to i guess bc housing

[0:33:27] Voice 8: saying where they're saying that you support ec on behalf of us just all the applicants that are

[0:33:33] Voice 8: applying for bc housing funding but we don't have a list of who that is so we only know

[0:33:38] Voice 3: i only know

[0:33:38] Voice 8: one for sure you can

[0:33:40] Voice 8: give some kind of direction though to do that gg and

[0:33:44] Voice 9: there was one i don't

[0:33:46] Voice 8: 11 yeah

[0:33:47] Voice 9: it's not yeah it keeps not being advanced action list but we've had conversations about it

[0:33:53] Voice 9: and then it keeps getting dropped on nobody's list up to do that's why these things need to

[0:33:57] Voice 9: be done by motion

[0:33:58] Voice 9: anyway um i i am going to work i can work with why don't we do that this you know trust council

[0:34:10] Voice 9: everybody's here it is good time to do it we'll make sure we get the names of patients going in

[0:34:15] Voice 9: and then commit to have this done by when we have a letter drafted would the regional planning

[0:34:23] Voice 8: managers not know what no no

[0:34:26] Voice 8: this is a these are non-profit groups generally applying for funding

[0:34:31] Voice 8: from bcs okay so and this is where staff i i pulled staff right away um they didn't know

[0:34:36] Voice 8: they don't okay so we talked

[0:34:39] Voice 8: to rpc members and i only got one response back

[0:34:42] Voice 8: so so it's an extended piece of work with some uncertainty

[0:34:46] Voice 6: associated with the yeah with the

[0:34:48] Voice 6: input so and so if you're able to solicit that information can you bring that information back

[0:34:54] Voice 6: to our next executive committee meeting and you can ensure that we're already

[0:35:00] Voice 9: i'm trying to get it going

[0:35:00] Voice 8: well if you can talk to trustees i can make it work all

[0:35:04] Voice 9: right teamwork

[0:35:06] Voice 9: okay we all

[0:35:08] Voice 6: happy we're all happy with that that's going to work i think so

[0:35:13] Voice 6: Okay, so Kate Barger-Kirchis has dealt with,

[0:35:16] Voice 6: so we have a number of pieces of correspondence here.

[0:35:19] Voice 6: Past Trustee Peter Frinton,

[0:35:21] Voice 6: I think we'll just receive that for information.

[0:35:24] Voice 6: This is a name for the direction.

[0:35:27] Voice 6: Cetus Island, thank you, Toby,

[0:35:29] Voice 6: for getting that letter out for us

[0:35:32] Voice 6: with respect to the shellfish aquaculture application.

[0:35:36] Voice 9: Thanks for drafting it.

[0:35:36] Voice 6: And I think we'll just receive that for information as well.

[0:35:39] Voice 6: and salt spring island uh administered housing bill 44 housing uh statutes uh

[0:35:48] Voice 6: regarding the amendment act and

[0:35:50] Voice 10: just a quick comment on that please yeah uh so mla olsen did

[0:35:55] Voice 10: bring a uh motion to amend um legislature i think it was on the 23rd uh that didn't pass

[0:36:04] Voice 10: and so this request from salt spring um

[0:36:08] Voice 9: it's not proceeding from the province

[0:36:14] Voice 1: the problem

[0:36:15] Voice 10: the the legislation passed without amending to salt spring as requested in the letter

[0:36:21] Voice 9: yeah yeah

[0:36:24] Voice 10: yeah mla also did bring up a motion and it did not pass so we'll

[0:36:30] Voice 6: receive that for

[0:36:31] Voice 6: for information, let's just split the direction too.

[0:36:33] Voice 6: No, okay.

[0:36:35] Voice 6: There goes the Black Ball Ferry.

[0:36:38] Voice 6: So Gambier Island, a letter to the Ministry of Forest

[0:36:41] Voice 6: in regards to supporting the Connected Coast Project.

[0:36:45] Voice 6: That was the topic of discussion

[0:36:47] Voice 6: at our last Gambier meeting,

[0:36:50] Voice 6: as they want to make landfall on Keats Island

[0:36:55] Voice 6: and the zoning is not adequate or suitable.

[0:36:59] Voice 6: Some question about the location that is going in,

[0:37:01] Voice 6: some question about whether or not there's archaeological impacts and a lot of questions

[0:37:05] Voice 6: about how that amendment to the bylaw might happen in a time fashion and that's uh ongoing

[0:37:14] Voice 6: uh rpm um gemara granny gemara is uh excellent in all respects in her work and it's certainly

[0:37:24] Voice 6: assisting us with that. So Martin McKay, Transport Canada, invitation to register for the 2024

[0:37:33] Voice 6: Sailor Sea Strategy Symposium. I'll just note that I heard about this Sailor Sea Strategy

[0:37:40] Voice 6: Symposium at the Ocean Protection Plan Forum last month. Certainly a significant development

[0:37:49] Voice 6: of Transport Canada wanting to engage

[0:37:53] Voice 6: at the local government and First Nations level

[0:37:57] Voice 6: with respect to the strategy

[0:37:59] Voice 6: of the protection of the Salish Sea.

[0:38:01] Voice 6: And so I think this is something

[0:38:03] Voice 6: our voice needs to be at.

[0:38:05] Voice 6: And there will be funding available

[0:38:06] Voice 6: for those that wish to attend it.

[0:38:08] Voice 6: We have to make an application for that.

[0:38:09] Voice 6: I'm certainly wanting to attend that.

[0:38:12] Voice 6: And at this juncture,

[0:38:16] Voice 6: I take advice as to whether or not

[0:38:17] Voice 6: that lives with the executive committee

[0:38:19] Voice 6: or we want to put that out to trustees as they chose to attend as well or how it is you might

[0:38:24] Voice 6: suppose that

[0:38:25] Voice 6: support from balance just participate in this process anybody with recommendations

[0:38:31] Voice 9: anybody

[0:38:32] Voice 6: else want to attend

[0:38:33] Voice 9: um i'm i'm interested in attending virtually i can only do the second

[0:38:38] Voice 9: day because um conflict but um i do think i wonder if we it should be put out to trustees as well

[0:38:50] Voice 9: and if there's strong interest from someone should there be some of that yeah

[0:38:55] Voice 6: so i think the

[0:38:56] Voice 6: child well attending virtually would be at no cost but

[0:39:00] Voice 9: if there was

[0:39:00] Voice 6: travel then we'd want to

[0:39:02] Voice 6: then ensure that process to fund that was done in a coordinated fashion and obviously director

[0:39:07] Voice 6: fader assumed that you might handle that or direct somebody on your staff to do that because

[0:39:12] Voice 6: you've done that in the past yeah

[0:39:14] Voice 7: certainly there's grant funding available to support

[0:39:16] Voice 7: attendance and if it was insufficient to cover all costs we would come back to you and say that

[0:39:21] Voice 7: and then determine if there is still support

[0:39:22] Voice 9: for just the attendance right

[0:39:24] Voice 6: so um so we should

[0:39:29] Voice 6: probably have some kind of a formal intake process and i would like to get support from the executive

[0:39:35] Voice 6: committee to attend that and uh and that we circulate this to uh trustees and request staff

[0:39:42] Voice 6: staff to facilitate funding

[0:39:45] Voice 9: that's available.

[0:39:47] Voice 9: Does anybody want to make a motion to that effect?

[0:39:51] Voice 9: I move that the staff be requested to forward the invite

[0:39:59] Voice 9: to see strategy to trustees and ask for expressions of interest,

[0:40:07] Voice 9: or special interests noting that there's an online virtual office that'll be free so um

[0:40:18] Voice 9: um um well you just ignore that last page

[0:40:23] Voice 9: did

[0:40:23] Voice 2: you want to add in the chair welcome thank you oh

[0:40:28] Voice 6: and that chair

[0:40:28] Voice 6: yeah

[0:40:29] Voice 9: that's right or two you can even make it more split into two cases

[0:40:36] Voice 9: because i think one seat if we had one person attending from executive or from leadership and

[0:40:42] Voice 9: then another yeah okay so are we are we saying we're willing to fund two seats if those don't

[0:40:49] Voice 9: Well, we're going to see.

[0:40:51] Voice 9: I expect they

[0:40:52] Voice 7: would fund, okay, participation.

[0:40:53] Voice 7: Right.

[0:40:54] Voice 7: As opposed to a show in person.

[0:40:56] Voice 4: Can I just read back what happened?

[0:40:57] Voice 4: Yeah, please read back.

[0:40:58] Voice 4: Moving second, the EC requests staff to follow the invite for the CILICI strategy to trustees

[0:41:04] Voice 4: and ask for expressions of interest to attend and that chair look and attend.

[0:41:10] Voice 4: That's cover.

[0:41:10] Voice 4: Do

[0:41:11] Voice 11: you need a date on that?

[0:41:13] Voice 11: No, November 20th.

[0:41:15] Voice 9: No.

[0:41:16] Voice 10: I was just going to ask in terms of the funding opportunity, if there's a deadline.

[0:41:21] Voice 7: It's 15 days prior, so that's

[0:41:24] Voice 10: how

[0:41:24] Voice 7: early we get it in the better, but it does seem a minimum of 15.

[0:41:29] Voice 7: I

[0:41:29] Voice 6: think the motion captures the essence of the intent.

[0:41:32] Voice 7: So

[0:41:33] Voice 6: I'll call for a vote. All those in favor?

[0:41:34] Voice 6: That carries. Thank you.

[0:41:36] Voice 6: And somebody will look after circulating that letter to the trustees.

[0:41:41] Voice 9: Okay. Thank you.

[0:41:43] Voice 9: Oh, is it?

[0:41:44] Voice 1: For which submission of funding?

[0:41:47] Voice 1: No,

[0:41:48] Voice 9: it says January 20th.

[0:41:57] Voice 7: Are we good?

[0:41:59] Voice 6: So then the next item on our agenda then is the review and amendment of the current work

[0:42:03] Voice 6: program that will be and have been amended prior to this meeting.

[0:42:07] Voice 6: I don't believe there's any changes at this time, CAO, anything that's in your

[0:42:11] Voice 6: area, no.

[0:42:12] Voice 6: So then, Billy Mott?

[0:42:14] Voice 6: Well,

[0:42:15] Voice 2: just one question is, what seems to fall off the radar is the Accessibility Committee.

[0:42:21] I

[0:42:22] Voice 9: don't see much about that.

[0:42:25] Voice 4: I can speak to that.

[0:42:27] Voice 9: Ah, David Marlar.

[0:42:28] Voice 4: Yeah, it's been on hold because we've been so short of administrative staff.

[0:42:32] Voice 11: Right.

[0:42:32] Voice 4: But as soon as we get the staff in, we'll be getting the advertising out and

[0:42:37] Voice 4: getting it set up. So still on our radar.

[0:42:40] Voice 4: Okay.

[0:42:42] Voice 6: So we'll see that in the new year somewhere. Okay, that's great.

[0:42:46] Voice 4: is there

[0:42:46] Voice 6: a deadline for that

[0:42:47] Voice 4: formality well no it's supposed to have it up by september 1st

[0:42:51] Voice 9: but

[0:42:51] Voice 4: we have limits on what we can and can't do it so we're doing the best we can okay um

[0:42:58] Voice 4: so thank you i do have one more thing before you're closing yeah uh

[0:43:02] Voice 4: i just had a text from

[0:43:04] Voice 4: Julia? Yes. 731, that's the ICM quarter 2 financial forecast. 7.3. 7.3.1 in the agenda.

[0:43:19] Voice 6: Yes.

[0:43:20] Voice 4: Yeah. So that actually came to you with the package, the previous executive. So it's

[0:43:26] Voice 4: actually accidental that it's on this agenda. So the document here is the same on the same

[0:43:31] Voice 4: same trust councils oh

[0:43:32] Voice 9: so that quarter

[0:43:33] Voice 4: two thing is oh that's the question

[0:43:35] Voice 9: and it sounded too

[0:43:37] Voice 9: stupid so i didn't

[0:43:38] Voice 9: ask that question

[0:43:39] Voice 5: i don't want to bring it up because i didn't know why it was

[0:43:41] Voice 5: there

[0:43:41] Voice 9: okay

[0:43:46] Voice 5: let's keep rolling thank

[0:43:48] Voice 1: you for that

[0:43:48] Voice 5: uh help um

[0:43:49] Voice 1: so thank

[0:43:51] Voice 5: and thank you julia

[0:43:58] Voice 9: so we have talked about the uh climate change which is in the future projects report climate

[0:44:07] Voice 9: change emergency programming associates with climate change declaration of the island's trust

[0:44:10] Voice 9: um we keep deferring discussion about that on at the trust council level and saying we need

[0:44:19] Voice 9: input from trust councils um as to what we're doing about climate change it was going to be

[0:44:27] Voice 9: on the agenda for this one and then dropped off and then we said okay we'll let a first meeting

[0:44:31] Voice 9: in january as ec we're going to talk about this again this is from memory i don't i'm pretty sure

[0:44:40] Voice 9: so it keeps getting dropped and recirculated and now it's on the future projects list and i'm just

[0:44:46] Voice 9: wondering um what is the plan to talk about this in a timely way so we can bring it back to the

[0:44:59] Voice 9: trust council and get that direction so i think the discussion we had at last was easy was there's

[0:45:05] Voice 9: lots of updates in the with provincial funding and programming and the background that we have

[0:45:12] Voice 9: in terms of how our ocps are

[0:45:14] Voice 1: trying

[0:45:16] Voice 9: to address climate change that's that was what was going to

[0:45:19] Voice 9: afford it to trust council and and i think my argument was this doesn't give us grounds for

[0:45:26] Voice 9: discussion it's not where the but we need to do some work on it if we're going to have a good

[0:45:35] Voice 9: conversation about it we

[0:45:40] Voice 11: we did talk about this at

[0:45:41] Voice 6: some extent at our last meeting and i'm just

[0:45:44] Voice 6: trying to see what we've done with the agenda here because we've got the bank around climate

[0:45:47] Voice 6: coastal communities climate leadership steering committee we've got the montreal pledge on here

[0:45:52] Voice 6: is discuss some topics i sort of thought maybe we had some kind of a conversation associated with

[0:45:57] Voice 6: that around the montreal pledge it's obviously a different topic but indeed i seem to remember

[0:46:04] Voice 11: conversation about this ending up at a committee we've

[0:46:09] Voice 9: written on this you may have a report yes

[0:46:11] Voice 9: it's not on your agenda right now i thought it went to the last trust council and there was no

[0:46:15] Voice 9: time to discuss it yeah

[0:46:18] Voice 1: and it was

[0:46:18] Voice 9: put off it was put on to the draft for this one and then we pulled

[0:46:22] Voice 8: hold

[0:46:22] Voice 9: it off at our last EC meeting.

[0:46:23] Voice 10: Again, it's how many deep think pieces

[0:46:27] Voice 10: can trust

[0:46:28] Voice 8: council reasonably take on.

[0:46:29] Voice 8: When

[0:46:29] Voice 10: you say it's the one that needs to be there.

[0:46:32] Voice 9: I think March is the one that needs to be there,

[0:46:35] Voice 9: but EC needs to do some work somehow

[0:46:39] Voice 9: on where are we at right now?

[0:46:41] Voice 9: How can we have a productive discussion?

[0:46:45] Voice 9: And I just felt that what we kept seeing

[0:46:47] Voice 9: in the September and then in December

[0:46:52] Voice 9: draft was um old news and not going to help us get to a discussion so

[0:46:59] Voice 9: about what do we want to do about climate change it's just oh well mr chair so how you reflect your

[0:47:08] Voice 9: your ultimately your programming and any development policy around climate change

[0:47:14] Voice 9: it's going to is reflected the policy statement process that's being undertaken right now so

[0:47:20] Voice 9: there's an expression of it and that was last council's commitments essentially to climate

[0:47:25] Voice 9: change. The housing work as well, as a vestigial climate change piece of work, has progressed

[0:47:35] Voice 9: because it's under that category in a strategic plan. It does need refreshment,

[0:47:42] Voice 9: without question, and why don't we just schedule some time for you to have that conversation and

[0:47:47] Voice 9: then we can prepare trust council instead of going in at... Well, the approach taken was,

[0:47:53] Voice 9: this is here as one of council's main priorities we wanted some refreshment on that because we

[0:47:59] Voice 9: haven't heard the length we haven't

[0:48:01] Voice 1: yeah this

[0:48:02] Voice 9: trust council hasn't contemplated that nor does

[0:48:04] Voice 9: the topic come up in a

[0:48:06] Voice 1: yeah a

[0:48:07] Voice 9: consistent way so the one there's two approaches one we put that

[0:48:11] Voice 9: report forward to remind trust council and indicate hey let's put our minds to what a

[0:48:17] Voice 9: current expression that this would be yeah

[0:48:19] Voice 11: or

[0:48:20] Voice 9: you could do some work for them and say this is what

[0:48:22] Voice 9: we think it should be and yes then

[0:48:25] Voice 9: it flows into the

[0:48:27] Voice 2: next terms corporate planning strategic

[0:48:30] Voice 2: planning process it's refreshed it's

[0:48:33] Voice 9: yeah it's I

[0:48:34] Voice 2: think that's

[0:48:35] Voice 9: the journey you're on which way

[0:48:36] Voice 9: you want to go

[0:48:36] Voice 6: so so I sort of feel like we're rapidly filling up our next executive committee

[0:48:43] Voice 6: meeting is this a topic that we want to bring back to the next executive committee to start

[0:48:47] Voice 6: that process because you know in the whole cycle of executive committee and trust council we have

[0:48:51] Voice 6: have a limited amount of time to actually do other work other than council preparation and

[0:48:57] Voice 6: meeting bylaws and stuff um

[0:48:59] Voice 6: so if we want to invest in that for next council march which is a financial

[0:49:04] Voice 6: debate process which may already be full we should be preparing for that

[0:49:11] Voice 11: now

[0:49:12] Voice 6: um in order to be able

[0:49:14] Voice 6: to achieve that in march um so i think it would be good to ask to provide direction to staff today

[0:49:21] Voice 6: to ask for to use the ceos or refresh on the climate current status of climate action work

[0:49:28] Voice 6: in

[0:49:29] Voice 9: australia i'm not prepared for i've given you what i can yeah about

[0:49:35] Voice 9: the thoughts here that are

[0:49:37] Voice 9: going to yeah so that's it beyond what i've

[0:49:40] Voice 6: done to make some motion or director fader do you have

[0:49:44] Voice 6: something to share uh

[0:49:46] Voice 7: no what we had provided to you was just around there was no capacity

[0:49:50] Voice 7: So we gave you what had been pre, but you know there was a lot of thinking done back in the day, much of which I do think is still relevant, particularly around the planning tools that local trust committees can consider.

[0:49:59] Voice 7: But certainly we can give you some updated thinking if you request it. It's just going to be having the staff.

[0:50:05] Voice 7: We're

[0:50:06] Voice 9: not going to have a lot of force power between now and September 20th to come up with a deep thought piece, but you could certainly start to reflect on that.

[0:50:13] Voice 9: that's what

[0:50:14] Voice 1: i'm asking i think that's what you're

[0:50:16] Voice 9: asking for because there has to be

[0:50:17] Voice 9: it's a question of is it a lens that we look at everything through well that's not really

[0:50:22] Voice 9: effective when we need to report back to our communities climate change is a real thing the

[0:50:26] Voice 9: island stress is doing support is it shoreline protection is it housing and planning active

[0:50:31] Voice 9: transportation what are the programs that we want to put forward is this is how we want to help our

[0:50:38] Voice 9: communities address

[0:50:39] Voice 7: the media climate change yeah i might reflect on that you're going to get a new

[0:50:42] Voice 7: draft of the policy statement so a lot of these conversations you know that will then okay you

[0:50:46] Voice 1: will have

[0:50:47] Voice 7: that policy basin to decide you know are the other draft policies strong enough do you want

[0:50:51] Voice 7: to change them do they cover the bandwidth of the themes that you would like to cover right so that

[0:50:55] Voice 7: is coming your way in

[0:50:57] Voice 11: the new year

[0:50:57] Voice 7: so that will focus some of this and then you'll have to contemplate

[0:51:00] Voice 7: other pieces of it around do you have the mapping that you need where does the conservancy fit in

[0:51:05] Voice 7: do you want to engage in education you know there's

[0:51:07] Voice 7: other surrounding elements but we're

[0:51:09] Voice 7: We're about to fill up your worlds with policy statement conversations

[0:51:12] Voice 7: that will include climate in the news.

[0:51:17] Voice 9: I'd like to be excused if I could to go up for the setup of the room,

[0:51:21] Voice 9: just as a conclusion.

[0:51:22] Voice 6: Sure, we'll just wrap this up and then we're done.

[0:51:25] Voice 6: I just want to note in this whole conversation that one of the planning

[0:51:29] Voice 6: staff said when this question came up that indeed,

[0:51:33] Voice 6: and I don't think we should underestimate the value of it,

[0:51:35] Voice 6: that indeed all the work we do now is done through the lens

[0:51:39] Voice 6: climate change and so all of that shoreline work all of that development permit areas everything

[0:51:45] Voice 6: is done in that match so um let's get a motion to speak uh something or it's

[0:51:52] Voice 7: not currently we

[0:51:54] Voice 7: have direction from you at your last meeting to bring it back to the executive committee in 2024.

[0:51:59] Voice 7: okay

[0:51:59] Voice 9: so let's leave it at that is

[0:52:01] Voice 7: that sufficient or are you wanting it in december

[0:52:03] Voice 6: well we're not going to change climate change in

[0:52:07] Voice 7: the coming months so we have direction to bring

[0:52:09] Voice 7: it back to you in the email right

[0:52:10] Voice 6: awesome so is there any further business today and i'll call for

[0:52:15] Voice 6: a chairman all those in favor that carries thanks everybody for being here today and uh let's have a

[0:52:21] Voice 6: great council thank

[0:52:22] Voice 9: you okay
