   • [3:31:28] “thank you. I think I'm hearing, let's move the election reserve fund to the beginning of the list in the new projects there. I guess it is. And then moving, evaluating potential new specific reserve funds up into the current active projects list, or the proposed active. Anyway, Trustee Boland.”
   • [0:55:21] “Thank you, Trustee Getty. I'm on the list next. So sorry, I didn't get my electronic hand up in time, but I am keeping the list. And I just want to say I, too, am in agreement about, with the previous speakers, most of them, about what Trustee Yates called prioritized ethical investment.”
   • [2:29:42] “Okay, thank you, everybody. We're going to take a break now. And we're going to come back at one o'clock. If that suits everybody. I see some thumbs up. Thanks, everybody. We'll rejoin the meeting at one o'clock. And thank you, Toby, for taking on the extra work.”

   • [1:10:04] “I like the shorter approach. Anyway, so I think we should leave this for the next trust council to think about whether they want to direct staff to put more work into this. But I'm hearing that new trustees might find it useful.”
   • [4:03:42] “I think the process of consulting everybody and working on the trust policy statement revisions is super important as one of our roles that the Islands Trust Act requires us to do as trustees, so I can't support a freeze.”
   • [1:06:43] “I agree that the audience should be trustees, maybe staff, but staff are also in our meetings, in the LTC meetings, and they're the ones advising of the tools. Here's what staff recommend for this situation or whatever.”

Okay. Then I'll call the question. All those in favor, please raise your hand. And, oops, sorry, my notes. Good. Thank you. Please lower your hands. And anyone opposed, please raise your hand.”
   • [1:49:33] “I think it's a, I've always thought about it as the difference between a draft budget engagement or a pre-budget survey. And that's what we've called it all the way through. So if people do go looking on the website, I thought that this was clear enough that they could find it or that they could ask a question that they could get a clear answer to.”
   • [0:45:40] “Thank you. And lower your hands. Anyone opposed? Please raise your hand. None opposed. That carries unanimously. Thank you very much, everybody. And we're going to move on now to 7.3. So here we're going to be seeing the draft budget assumptions, principles and guidelines way earlier than usual. And please take it away, Director Coburn.”

   • [2:42:09] “I mean, all of those people who've been invited for their input, let's keep having staff receive the input and doing the good work of figuring out how it could be or should be incorporated. Thank you.”
   • [2:41:55] “And I see that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is also out there shaking the bushes, trying to get other referral groups to respond, as well as the 21st Nations.”
   • [3:06:08] “I'm assuming that the other work for receiving, continue working on the First Nations referrals as they come in is just a given?”

   • [1:17:50] “And then the next steps would follow into what Chair Patrick, I believe, was talking about. What are the new tools? We've talked about spatial planning tools at Trust Council and through a number of committees in the past. Now we've got the Stewardship Award for the big biodiversity model that's scaled for islands. Lots of good potential there.”
   • [2:01:34] “Well, I was trying to get at the idea of working with others, which I think in collaboration with others, what I think we put in the first motion, the idea of working with the ecology labs at UBC and SFU, maybe, or whatever, our partners at the province, the Bowen Island municipality.”
   • [1:16:56] “And so it was just very useful. But I know, I believe it's from 2017 data. And so I'm not surprised you've taken it down from the website, but it's really valuable. And it just shows pictorially what percent is rural, what percent is golf course, those kinds of things.”

   • [1:14:08] “So that's an example, that causeway. And I'll try and put a link to a photo in the chat if I can do that. But sometimes paths and staircases and things don't come into our minds because so many of us, and I'll put myself in this, are so vehicle-oriented.”
   • [0:24:15] “And this is not just from our Bowen situation where we've got an adopted plan and building a multi-use pathway and all that kind of thing, but it's also, I'm remembering, I believe it was Denman Local Trust Committee last term has a path from the ferry.”
   • [1:24:28] “And they dislodged part of that floating concrete apron that the ferry snugs into. So it wasn't exactly erosion, it was damage. And we've had that with pilings and our public dock that used to be the federal dock that is now public dock as well.”

    • [0:20:44] “you. I just want to make sure about approval versus information. Okay, thank you. So we've got a motion moved, seconded and clarified. And anybody got any more discussion on the motion? Seeing none, I'll call the vote. Please raise your digital hand if you approve this motion. If you're voting for, whoops, mine was up. Anyway, thank you and lower your hands.”
    • [0:01:25] “Are there any late items or things that people want to add to the agenda at this time? Not seeing any hands. Let me make sure I've got my little panel open. There we go. And okay, so by consent, we're adopting the agenda. Okay, very good. And public comment period. Do we have any people from the public here?”
    • [0:42:19] “So we're back to our agenda now. Nothing in new business, the work program, page 30. So if we can take a look down there. This is what I'll be reporting on at Trust Council, and Trust Council will be approving this, hopefully. So where are we at here? Okay, go ahead, please, Director Mobs.”

    • [3:22:00] “question is, do we have any stats on the viewers? Because if there's only a few, then it makes a difference as to how I would measure the value when people could watch on live stream or refer to the minutes.”
    • [0:07:43] “I think Councillor Getty and I do our best as trustees giving verbal updates at our bi-weekly meetings, but this is better.”
    • [4:21:57] “surprised at the confidence in the answer that I heard earlier. And secondly, I think it's important”

    • [1:17:56] “And I'm wondering if that is supposed to be, to me, that sounds like it's either, I was thinking, who would these persons be who were listed in an engagement plan? Could that be like realtors? Or would this be, what's an example? Otherwise, persons to me sounds like citizens and community engagement, which I don't think is meant there.”
    • [0:22:23] “I think there's lots of activity happening on other islands, too. And this is my point is Bowen Island is extremely active. And I'm just thinking we need to get the word out more on all the islands, including those who aren't part of this committee, of course.”
    • [1:19:01] “I'm pretty sure I've seen it other places, but I just don't think it adds clarity here when you're trying to separate out the different kinds of consultation. Thank you. Over to you. I'm not going to push anything.”

    • [4:02:02] “I might move something like, and maybe this isn't needed, but the FPC forward the budget materials contained in 7.1 as amended. Did we amend it? No, I don't think so. And other motions passed, which was the one about the asking Islands Trust Conservancy to reconsider for the for Trust Council for the upcoming committee, the whole as it's recommended 2026-27 budget.”
    • [0:59:21] “Yeah, if you could hang on a moment with that. I think I'm hoping that when we take our break at 1115, people might have a chance to read your email, which I believe only came this morning, and before the meeting, and then we would have had a chance to discuss this communications topic that Trustee Yates has been working on. Please go ahead, Trustee Yates.”
    • [2:08:43] “Thank you. And I would appreciate any points of order, especially if it's used to stop a discussion rather than interrupt a speaker and continue the discussion. But I'll take that point. I'm going to move back now to the topic of Toby Elliott's various emails, and then we'll come back to you, Judy, if you've got more.”

    • [2:19:31] “As people realized that they weren't going to just be able to get on a taxi and get down to the show, this kind of thing. So it was a commercial disruption, too, because the normal visitor tourist season is going to be disrupted. So I take your point. Thanks for bringing it up.”
    • [1:18:53] “I think there's a lot of similarities between Mayor Andrew Leonard of Bowen Island called a meeting on the sort of edge of our annual Union of BC Municipalities gathering this year called just who from very dependent communities wants to come and get together to think about”
    • [2:19:06] “It was very fun, but there were huge ferry overloads, and talking later to some short-term vacation rental providers, they had been through booking starting, you know, nine months earlier, booked, cancelled, booked, cancelled, booked, cancelled,”

    • [0:20:26] “So long winded. Sorry about that. I think if we don't see any legislation or info from the province that legislation is coming, that there will be a mandated code of conduct, say by April, then we should definitely put something out.”
    • [0:18:27] “Like my, I actually think it should be now because I, looking at my experience, I had to think how, what commitments would be involved a year ahead before I thought about would I actually run?”
    • [0:18:16] “I'm supporting what the previous speakers, last few speakers have said about the onboarding orientation info as soon as possible.”

    • [0:04:07] “Okay, thank you very much. And I'll try and remember that for next time. And if you get around to it, send her a note saying come back, you won't be put on the spot again. Okay, thank you. And so moving on now to nothing, nothing draft minutes. Anybody got any suggestions? I looked at them a while ago, they looked okay to me, I sent in a couple of typo things.”
    • [0:09:01] “Okay. Trustees, have you got questions for the director about the changes that she's just described? She's going to go on to give us a bit of a briefing, I understand, just to get us all on the same page as we enter the bigger discussion. But questions about the changes for the director? We are a quiet group. Oh, there's one. Trustee Getty.”
    • [0:00:00] “Wonderful. Okay, well, thank you. And good morning, everybody. This is the meeting of the Financial Planning Committee of the Islands Trust, November 12. And we're joining you from across the territories of many Salish First Nations between Vancouver Island and the mainland, international border, and upwards of between Laskini and Tuxedo.”

    • [3:44:23] “Any other comments on these? Any other discussion, I guess, around these positions? Okay, we're going to move on. Other funding request reports. I'm starting on page 201. This is the Islands Trust Conservancy Board budget. And I'm wondering, let me just scroll madly down through the other reports. Sorry, I was almost ready.”
    • [1:43:13] “you. That's a great suggestion. Speaking as a Bowen trustee, I know that here on Bowen, we've got watershed planning, freshwater planning, different kinds of projects that could all benefit from better data, some of which is coming from the trust already and proving useful to staff now that they've started to see it.”
    • [4:23:18] “Okay, I think we're here. Trustee Peterson, are you there? Hopefully he'll be joining us soon. Let's move ahead. Then we can begin with the first Marie Boland motion, please. There it is. We haven't had it seconded yet. We were wondering if that wording would be helpful, but I haven't got any changes yet.”

    • [2:54:50] “Thank you, Chair. I have a question for staff. I have a note on my meeting cover sheet from August 20th meeting of the Financial Planning Committee regarding the indicator, the GIS evaluation, the map, sorry, GIS mapping tools for indicators that there might be a business case coming to Trust Council.”
    • [3:08:53] “you. I'm in support of this motion because I think it gives Financial Planning Committee and everyone a sense of we're going to use technology that we know exists out there to help us do our job better and perhaps more efficiently. Thank you.”
    • [0:25:08] “Good morning, everybody. And thank you to the Governance Committee for bringing us a set of recommendations that are clear. This is really good.”

    • [2:59:14] “Thank you. Yeah, it's one component, isn't it? That's a way better way of, I was struggling with words. Okay. And Robert, if you could make that a tiny bit bigger, then I'll be able to see it better. Oh, thank you. Very good. Okay, so we have a motion. Can I just ask you to, if you're sure that that's what you want it to say, Trustee Toby Elliott, Trustee Elliott, you can, you can move it.”
    • [0:36:43] “you, Trustee Elliott. I wondered, excuse me, about this too. I noticed I was looking at our terms of reference, and the very top one is to facilitate Trust Council's involvement in the annual budget process. And I thought these results might be circulated earlier. So I look forward to a motion about that, if that's something that others are interested in.”
    • [1:06:04] “Thank you, Trustee Boland. And I'm going to ask people not to use the chat. If we can have the words out so the public can see them and also so that I can see them. I can see there's chat going by, but I have a tiny screen. And I think I saw staff, Chloe Straub, correct me if I'm wrong, but 13 people attended the last budget webinar. Is that correct?”

    • [0:58:35] “Thank you. You've answered most of my questions, Director Frater, but my next question is about the stewardship awards. Will they require a, I'm assuming they'll still go ahead for the final year of term, and do we make any, do we have to have that on the agenda, or is it just going to be part of our work program?”
    • [1:39:28] “And it needs a lot of planning. And I would like to hear, rather than placeholder funding, that we're actually putting all this money towards business case. And some of the money might be used to purchase select mapping and things like this that would also be needed, plus the other things.”
    • [3:09:38] “think it's already there, Chair Elliott, in that it says multi-year, and it says business plan for a multi-year. And those things are going to involve funding, and it also has the partnership development part. So I'm comfortable. Sorry, can I go on to my next thing?”

    • [3:07:43] “I think on an island, especially, you need ecosystem integrity because that's where your water and your secure slopes above the road and your pollinators and all of the ecosystem services come from, as well as our wild neighbors, our wildlife, green, beautiful surroundings and well-being for islanders and protection for islanders.”
    • [4:01:39] “Thank you, Toby. Sorry, Trustee Elliott. I'm just, I don't think I'm in favor of this motion because it precludes comment that we're going to get. I think we should follow the process and trust the process that we've got in our policy project that we've worked on and endorsed.”
    • [0:53:27] “I think it's a dangerous idea to assume that Indigenous governing bodies and First Nations people only exist in the past, and I support this idea, and I'll look at your message more carefully. I was going to ask for it to be on the screen. Thank you.”

    • [1:39:59] “So it would be basically inserting comma, including after the words Indigenous governing bodies, so that nothing is lost, but the opportunities to provide letters of support or ensure that public access is there, even if something might happen years in the future, or any of the other things that I'm speaking now as a municipal trustee as well.”
    • [3:51:02] “I'll just say that to adjust Directive Policy 3.4.27 to read, identify appropriate locations for, types of, and access to facilities for low-impact and active recreational activities, and discourage activities that may adversely impact the preservation and protection of the trust area and its unique amenities and environment.”
    • [4:31:49] “So I propose that we adjust 3.5.11 to read, identify and protect agricultural lands within the Agricultural Land Reserve or any lands within the Agricultural Land Reserve for current and future use consistent with the Agricultural Land Commission Act and its regulations while considering downstream impacts.”

    • [0:50:57] “I think some biospheres in Canada, as well as other places in the world, have signed on to these dark sky principles, and some protected areas, like I'm looking up at some projects that we as, or never mind, as our consultants have done in Alberta, our consulting companies recommended some of these and they've been taken up.”
    • [0:51:27] “And that was from like 20 years ago. On Bowen, we have, so those were from this organization, what became Dark Sky International. It came out of academia and park managers from around the world, meeting at conferences, thinking about what, advancing the idea together internationally, as I understand it.”
    • [0:52:41] “And it's been not controversial, and it'll be interesting in our, some people are discussing it now in our official community plan update, the idea of making it broader to more public areas, or at least the principles of shielding the light so it only goes where it's needed, and it's not polluting.”

    • [1:04:27] “why I'm leery about making recommendations to Trust Council without any information in front of us when I know we've received some. Thank you, Trustee Yates, for suggesting that. I know there has been work underway. And I'm going to go, before we go to Trustee Peterson, I'm going to ask Director Mobs. Do you recall any of this?”
    • [0:38:47] “I think that time has passed. People have discovered more about the Islands Trust. These allocated financial statements were really useful to me as a trustee, figuring out what was going on and being able to explain things, but I don't see any need for them to be done every year.”
    • [0:38:17] “Have been useful during the past when Bowen Island residents were wondering about the impact generated by their or the value, I guess, of membership fees or allocations made to Islands Trust through the complicated calculation that we have over here on Bowen Island.”

    • [4:22:14] “And they weren't looking at our OCP, our local council was looking at that. But the big umbrella of the trust policy statement was where the rubber didn't hit the road. And I think that's the important thing that we should keep. That's the foundational piece that I would propose that we focus our energy. Sorry, I said that twice, at least. Thank you.”
    • [3:39:09] “Okay, that's weird. Hope you can hear me now. I'm hoping my comments are useful, because I'm with an island municipality. And that's part of this. But if my perspective can be useful here, it might be best to describe what I see as somebody coming from a municipal standpoint in the municipal ecosystem to the Islands Trust.”
    • [2:37:56] “I agree that they're both super important. However, the strategies will be very different. And from what I've seen, the fallow deer strategy involves government action, and who's opposing that? Private landholders. And that's the kind of people that we want to reach with these webinars.”

    • [1:04:47] “I see the Federation of Islands, the advocacy that we do together about everything from freighter anchorages to ferries and in the past and and different kinds of pollution.”
    • [1:04:23] “One, and that is this idea of Islands Trust as a land use planning agency or a land use planning body.”

    • [0:16:46] “I noted that in the compensation piece, we had talked at the last meeting about adding something about making sure that the public service agency was consulted, but I don't think that's needed because it says that the committee will seek advice from the public service agency to coordinate things.”
    • [0:39:03] “um and endorsed by trust council but who who will sign uh this final um maybe it could just mirror”

    • [0:44:43] “But I'm concerned with the words. And so maybe if we have it, I think it would be just advisory if we included it all, because I think the encouraging freshwater harvesting, I'm not in favor of because that implies to me harvesting it from the environment, which is nature surrounding dwellings.”
    • [2:51:33] “I'm happy with 2.1.4. And let's see what happens after first reading and what kind of input we get, because I don't want I'd sooner focus on getting it out to first reading for further input and then bring in changes to what is already a provincially accepted term cumulative effects.”
    • [0:26:20] “Well, anyway, they had a bunch of comments related to their input, and I wonder if we might want to consider our process now, whether we want to be accepting public input during this period of Trust Programs Committee making, this is supposed to be about us, right?”

    • [1:20:49] “And I wanted to bring up the prefab idea, because we already here on Bowen Island have a small construction company creating panels. So these, rather than being built on the site, they are moved from where they're constructed here on Bowen to another location on Bowen, as far as I know, they're all on Bowen, and used to put in, for example, walls.”
    • [3:48:02] “Is that what the motion should read? Because I would be in support of that because we have some pedestrian causeways and things that are vital parts of getting to the ferry. They're not necessarily roads, but they might be underwater soon. Did you mean to use the word infrastructure there? I like that.”
    • [1:21:30] “This is about natural building materials, but I'm proposing that the idea of keeping that if someone wanted to use prefab materials or even a wet wall pod or a whole bathroom pod, these are things that are already available or are coming soon, even in Squamish.”

So that's just a recent example.
