[0:03:07] Voice 1: she'll separate okay

[0:03:10] Voice 3: okay i'm sorry i'm really confused now i think there should be two or two

[0:03:46] Voice 3: island local trust area so could we have that first motion separate and then i'll be happy to

[0:03:51] Voice 3: move that first one and

[0:03:54] Voice 4: because we want something different on the side no

[0:03:56] Voice 3: no but shouldn't they

[0:03:57] Voice 3: just be separate no

[0:03:58] Voice 4: okay um if there's necessity to have discussion on individual elements of the

[0:04:04] Voice 4: motion yes but in the case of where we're likely in agreement then it just wouldn't work thank you

[0:04:13] Voice 2: so

[0:04:14] Voice 4: that's good move do i have secondary second second

[0:04:17] Voice 4: okay so is that sufficient on that front yes sir thank

[0:04:23] Voice 4: you for your help so then um i think

[0:04:27] Voice 4: the other item then to follow up from our in camera is um a motion along the lines of um

[0:04:33] Voice 4: um that after consideration the government trust committee after consideration of a complaint

[0:04:42] Voice 4: received from um that uh response be made to the complex um

[0:04:54] Voice 3: i would be very happy to

[0:04:57] Voice 3: make that motion

[0:04:58] Voice 2: that'd be awesome perfect do

[0:05:02] Voice 3: we need to describe the response or just

[0:05:04] Voice 3: think a response very good and essentially

[0:05:07] Voice 1: that's what has been drafted yeah so

[0:05:09] Voice 1: uh i think you

[0:05:11] Voice 1: should uh specify the response you're referring to if you have a something based

[0:05:17] Voice 3: on a draft what's

[0:05:19] Voice 3: the date of the letter

[0:05:20] Voice 3: 22 january 22. so

[0:05:22] Voice 4: based upon the draft of uh january 22nd 21. and then

[0:05:34] Voice 3: I mean, you didn't want to move it.

[0:05:35] Voice 3: I don't believe.

[0:05:37] Voice 3: Okay, so move by.

[0:05:39] Voice 4: I

[0:05:39] Voice 3: have no second.

[0:05:40] Voice 3: April LTC responds to the administrative governance complaint with the letter dropped in January 22nd, 2024.

[0:05:48] Voice 3: I will second that.

[0:05:51] Voice 2: Good.

[0:05:52] Voice 2: Okay, we got all those.

[0:05:54] Voice 2: Okay.

[0:05:56] Voice 4: I think that concludes our coming up cameras.

[0:05:59] Voice 4: and we finished up at section uh 12 reports um just looking through this conservancy report

[0:06:10] Voice 4: nothing on our agenda today uh application reports are there any questions for staff

[0:06:15] Voice 4: about applications on the bottom i

[0:06:20] Voice 3: think i kind of we kind of i already asked my

[0:06:22] Voice 3: action right yeah i'll

[0:06:26] Voice 4: continue to leave yeah so trustee local expense report that's for

[0:06:30] Voice 4: for information. We'll receive that. Adopted policies and standing resolutions. We'll receive

[0:06:36] Voice 4: that unless there's a potential third amendment.

[0:06:38] Voice 3: A really quick question, and this goes back to

[0:06:41] Voice 3: Magellan. One of the complainants asked me whether our standing resolution with regard to deferring

[0:06:47] Voice 3: bylaw enforcement on non-compliant housing also applies to Magellan. And I didn't think it did

[0:06:55] Voice 3: in because they have a separate and i wasn't sure right

[0:06:59] Voice 1: so chair out of an abundance of caution

[0:07:03] Voice 1: uh because i don't believe it was clear at the time the moment it was adopted it was not clear

[0:07:09] Voice 1: to me that it excluded much right so

[0:07:12] Voice 1: just that's okay

[0:07:14] Voice 1: compared to those on much yeah i said okay

[0:07:17] Voice 1: it applies to the entire gabriel local trust area right the

[0:07:20] Voice 1: ldc can certainly change that exclude

[0:07:23] Voice 1: them if you wish or make a separate resolution for much because they are covered by a separate

[0:07:28] Voice 1: landing spot yeah

[0:07:29] Voice 3: what does our exact standing resolution say because we might need to

[0:07:34] Voice 3: strengthen that otherwise i forgot i

[0:07:37] Voice 1: think it just stays gabriel i

[0:07:39] Voice 3: think it does too

[0:07:40] Voice 1: so we can seek

[0:07:42] Voice 4: advice from staff for you to amend it for our next step team

[0:07:49] Voice 4: and

[0:07:49] Voice 3: whether we want and whether we want to amend it and that's a different question consideration

[0:07:53] Voice 1: yeah and that could be incorporated with the report yeah here's review your standing resolution

[0:08:00] Voice 1: to make amendments yeah so

[0:08:01] Voice 1: you're gonna pick that

[0:08:02] Voice 4: up we don't need to go that direction no

[0:08:04] Voice 1: okay

[0:08:05] Voice 4: level call trust committee web page the website does seem to be working better which

[0:08:14] Voice 4: good news uh climate change action updates this is kind of a new item which i see popping up

[0:08:20] Voice 4: everywhere do we

[0:08:22] Voice 2: have something i don't

[0:08:24] Voice 4: know that we have anything do we i think it's

[0:08:26] Voice 4: i think it's

[0:08:27] Voice 4: a standing item that as work is underway it will be looked at but i think it's worthy of noting

[0:08:36] Voice 4: tell me if i'm wrong uh thank you by the way i didn't acknowledge you joined us this afternoon

[0:08:43] Voice 4: new we're very happy you did you did but there's two interesting things associated with the work

[0:08:49] Voice 4: of the honest trust and then we look at everything that we do now through two new lenses one being

[0:08:55] Voice 4: climate change and the other being uh first nations reconciliation so all of that is

[0:09:02] Voice 4: continuous and ongoing

[0:09:06] Voice 4: okay uh first nations relationship uh building update um can i say

[0:09:13] Voice 4: i'm gonna say we're hoping to meet with this in the name of first nation in the coming weeks um

[0:09:19] Voice 4: perhaps we'll have an opportunity for them to report to us

[0:09:28] Voice 4: Okay, we're program active projects. Anybody want to change that?

[0:09:33] Voice 2: No. Then

[0:09:34] Voice 4: let's receive that information.

[0:09:36] Voice 4: Future projects report dated February 14th. Help me out.

[0:09:41] Voice 4: There was consideration of adding adding and we did that by motion earlier.

[0:09:46] Voice 4: earlier, adding future housing short-term vacation rental

[0:09:51] Voice 4: options associated with the TUPs and so on.

[0:09:54] Voice 4: So

[0:09:54] Voice 3: the future projects, the first item

[0:09:57] Voice 3: is DeCoursey Island OCP and LEV review.

[0:10:00] Voice 3: The short-term vacation rent will just be added under that.

[0:10:03] Voice 3: It's in future.

[0:10:04] Voice 3: Yeah.

[0:10:04] Voice 2: Yeah.

[0:10:05] Voice 3: OK.

[0:10:05] Voice 3: That makes sense.

[0:10:06] Voice 3: I actually did have a question.

[0:10:08] Voice 3: There's, sorry, going back to the applications,

[0:10:12] Voice 3: I didn't realize how many open applications

[0:10:16] Voice 3: for short-term vacation rentals there are most have been referred to as in the First Nation

[0:10:23] Voice 3: um so how does that I guess staff will have some conversation about with the applicants about how

[0:10:31] Voice 3: our opting in potential could affect them in November because we don't want them to apply

[0:10:37] Voice 3: pay a fee and if they don't meet the principal residency requirement um goodbye yeah

[0:10:46] Voice 1: Through the chair, the file managers or the planners assigned to the applications will

[0:10:53] Voice 1: likely reach out to applicants to inform them and then if there's some, it will be up to

[0:11:02] Voice 1: the applicant to decide what they want to do with their application if they withdraw

[0:11:05] Voice 1: it.

[0:11:06] Voice 1: Then there will be, it will go to our fees file to see if they would be eligible for

[0:11:11] Voice 1: is for some form of refund or some portion of the feedback um they may want to proceed and

[0:11:17] Voice 1: in that case though you know they could do that um and then there's a possibility for them to

[0:11:23] Voice 1: still meet that principal real sense requirement um in those cases and they may wish to proceed

[0:11:28] Voice 3: okay that was

[0:11:33] Voice 4: all my questions good so i think that concludes that section i think our next

[0:11:40] Voice 4: meeting is uh march the 21st here here in person

[0:11:46] Voice 3: i'm actually hoping to be elsewhere uh there's an

[0:11:52] Voice 3: island indigenous food gathering on the 21st and 22nd it's in um it's rupert it's pretty far away

[0:12:01] Voice 3: but uh there's a zoom in well there yeah there's a potential so um i know there's no wiggle room

[0:12:08] Voice 3: to change the date but uh really it impacts us some food i think it would be a good opportunity

[0:12:14] Voice 3: to build a relationship so

[0:12:17] Voice 4: are we talking about that may

[0:12:20] Voice 3: be a way and but i'm i would zoom in

[0:12:23] Voice 3: without meeting potentially okay first

[0:12:26] Voice 3: um

[0:12:27] Voice 4: that sounds fine yeah

[0:12:30] Voice 2: okay unless

[0:12:32] Voice 4: and i think we should

[0:12:34] Voice 4: um continue to sustain the opportunities of public to attend the public absolutely

[0:12:39] Voice 4: okay

[0:12:40] Voice 3: so

[0:12:42] Voice 4: then that's fine um i think that concludes our business today if there's

[0:12:46] Voice 4: no further business i'd ask for adjournment i

[0:12:48] Voice 3: move to adjourn thank you

[0:12:49] Voice 4: thank you

[0:12:52] Voice 4: thank you
