The purpose of the meeting was to review the first draft of the 2006 Business Plan which was presented in
the following sections:

Meadows Cost share. The amendments to the list of customers and ensuring Kwantlen First Nation
is included with Katzie First Nation reference was noted.
2. Administration, Marketing & Customer Service-Kelly Swift reviewed the highlights of this section.
There was some discussion on the following:
Children with behavioural issues. Trustee Ashlie suggested that Recreation staff meet with
School District staff on this subject.
What programs might be available for the 19-25 age group? Staff will add this as an action item.
Language barriers -how are these addressed.
Advertising and various options to reach the community besides newspaper ads.
3. Parks & Facilities -Kevin Gilbraith lead the discussion on this section of the business plan.
The main challenges will be:
Inflationary costs related to labour, fuel, insurance rates, shipment and transportation, material
costs i.e. lumber, steel and concrete. These increased costs incurred by our contractors in 2005
will be passed onto the Districts.

on the Parks Host position.

Ashlie indicated that the School District will be providing further clarification on the use and booking
of this facility. There was also some discussion on the trail network and grants for trails.
The Capital Budget was reviewed in detail.
4. Recreation Services -Kelly Swift reviewed the issues and challenges. There was some discussion on
the potential for day time use at the Greg Moore Youth Centre. There will be one incremental
package for this area -the Increase of the Special Services Coordinator from part-time to full-time.
The Commission was asked to rank the four incremental packages with '1' being the highest priority and
'4' the lowest priority. The ranking sheets should be submitted to Mike Murray before leaving.
