Corporal Walsh explained that the detachment is divided up into four zones and there is a Community Policing Committee in each zone. Community policing is founded on the premise that responsibility for policing is a community function. There are many volunteers involved in community policing and the efforts of a small number of police officers can accomplish tremendous results with the involvement of those volunteers. It is the function of the volunteers to identify to the police issues of common concern so that the police can develop action plans to deal with crime disorder problems. Ms. Verhuist noted that Maple Ridge's business community, Council and the local media are all very supportive and that is the reason Maple Ridge's programs have moved forward so well. She advised that the Crime Prevention office is very proud of the Citizens on Patrol Program. The volunteers give up their Friday and Saturday nights to patrol around the community and report suspicious and criminal behavior. She noted some of the successes of the program.

He stated that if the by-law is not rescinded, there will be many upset people in that area. He feels that by changing the rates Council is setting a precedent. The Mayor advised that the District plans to schedule a public meeting to explain, the costs of the new system and how the water rate was determined. He noted that it is costing the District $2.1 million for the work. The District is applying for a Provincial grant to help offset some of the cost.

Durksen DATE: 'July 27, 1999 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ123/97 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W - PW &Dev SUBJECT: RZ123/97 - Dedication and Construction of 116 Avenue SUM1\IARY: 116 Avenue between Cottonwood Drive and 236 Street is identified in the OCP as a major highway network corridor. The extent of dedication and construction of this corridor is one of several issues that must be resolved prior to presentation of a development proposal at Public Hearing. Staff have reviewed a variety of options and recommend Option 2. RECOMMENDATION: That Option 2 as noted in the report from the Chief Administrative Officer dated July 27, 1999 be selected as the preferred option to identify the extent of dedication and construction of 116 Avenue between Cottonwood Drive and 236 Street. BACkGROUND: On May 11, 1999 Council reviewed the attached land use report and forwarded the application to Public Hearing. One of the conditions to be met prior to Public Hearing is resolution of the construction and dedication of 116 Avenue between Cottonwood Drive and 236 Street through Lot A, Ex Plan 16618 (the development site). Prior to final reading, some road dedication is required. DISCUSSION: The route between Cottonwood Drive and 236 Street is designated on Schedule "C" of the OCP as one of two major east-west corridors serving the Cottonwood area. The need for this route has been identified in previous transportation studies completed in the late 1980's to earlier 1990's. The extent of road dedication and construction for the development proposal has been an issue in past applications involving this parcel. In an earlier land use report for a previous application (RZ'50/93) this routc was identified as a designated collector route. The following is an excerpt from this earlier report. to The topography along this alignment is severe and the soil conditions difficult. The costs for construction of the link will be relatively high and the benefits accrue to a large area. It will therefore be constructed through Development Cost Charges at a later dare when fisnds and demand warrant. It will be the developers responsibility to dedicate and construct the portion east of Cottonwood Drive to the future creek crossing as a part of this development proposal. A preliminary road profile has been prepared and confirms that although this route will be difficult and costly to build, construction appears to be feasible. The profile also confirms that the easterly portion of the development Site has limited (if any) development potential. Recognizing this limitation, staff concluded in 1994 that the easterly portion should be acquired through Development Cost Charges in the future as needed. This would allow the present owner to continue to live at this site and postpone purchase to a mutually agreeable future date. It was further concluded that staff would recommend that 116 Avenue from Cottonwood Drive to 236 Street be constructed by: The municipality, from the east side of the townhouse site through the easterly portion of development site to 236 Street The developer, for that portion adjacent to the townhouse site. Although construction of the easterly portion of this route was added to the Development Cost Charge Bylaw, application RZ/50/93 was withdrawn and this issue was never resolved. It is anticipated that the easterly portion of the development site will be acquired through expenditures from the 5% parkiand acquisition fund (for the area designated Conservation) and development cost charges (for the area required for road). In considering the extent of road dedication for this application the following options are available. Option 1 Dedicate and construct only that portion of 116 Avenue adjacent to the townhouse site, and achieve the balance of the dedication after acquisition of the balance of the site. As recommended in the land use report, road construction is recommended for that portion of 116 Avenue adjacent to the townhouse site. This option achieves the recommended dedication and construction but doesn't address the future extension of 116 Avenue to 236 Street. Option 2 (recommended) Includes option 1 and the dedication of road to the eastern boundary of Rem A (the former landfill site) owned by the District. This option achieves dedication and construction of a portion of 116 Avenue and clearly indicates the District's position regarding the future road alignment for 116 Avenue. Option 3 Includes options 1 & 2 and the dedication of road for all land not impacted by the house. This option goes beyond option 2, is not necessary and is not recommended. -2- Option 4 Includes options 1, 2, & 3 and a road reservation for the balance of the right-of-way. This option goes beyond option 3, is also not necessary and is not recommended. CONCLUSION: Considering the above, it is recommended that Option 2 be considered to determine the extent of dedication and construction of 116 Avenue between Cottonwood Drive and 236 Street. _ W.

Durksen DATE: August 24 1999 and Members of Council FILE NO: E02-120-006 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W - PW & Dev. SUBJECT: Contract Recommendation, Dewdney Trunk Road and Dover Street Pedestrian Traffic Signal SUMMARY: Dewdney Trunk Road between the downtown core and Westgate Mall is a major arterial road. Maple Ridge Senior Secondary and Mount Crescent Elementary are schools to the north of Dewdney Trunk Road with catchment areas that ex tend south of Dewdney Trunk Road. Children attending these schools frequently cross this high traffic arterial road. Contract No. E02- 120-006 installs a pedestrian controlled signal at Dover Street replacing two painted crosswalks at Acadia Street and at 220 Street. RECOMMENDATION: That Council award Contract No. E02-120-006 to Transwestern Electrical Ltd. and that this contract become binding on the District upon the signature of the Mayor and the Municipal Clerk. BACKGROUND: The District's vision is to provide a safe and livable community for present and future citizens. As the municipality grows, safety measures and provisions need to keep pace. In recognition of this the 1999 Captial Budget included Capital Project No. E02-120-006 to install a lighted and marked pedestrian walkway at Dover Street on Dewdney Trunk Road. This type of application meets the current traffic and pedestrian warrant analysis. The project contemplated a new lighted crosswalk at Dover Street coexisting with the existing crosswalks at Acadia Street and 220 Street. Through a series of meetings in 1999 with representatives from both schools, the Parent Advisory Committees and neighborhood citizens consensus was reached that one crossing with pedestrian activated signal provided the optimal safety option. In addition the traffic signal analysis predicts that a pedestrian signal may be warranted within the next five years. A single crossing point to funnel children safely across Dewdney Trunk Road makes sense and is consistent with the safe routes to school objectives. The nearest controlled signals to Dover are 222 Street approximately 500m to the east and 216 Street approximately 600m to the west. -1- TENDER ANALYSIS On August 20, 1999 the following two bids were received: Transwestern Electrical Ltd. $51,826.52 Imperial Electric Ltd. $54,548.60 The low bid of Transwestern Electrical Ltd. was analyzed for compliance with the tender documents and found to be in order.

Durksen DATE: August 24, 1999 and Members of Council FILE NO: E02-032-003.99 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W: PW & Dev. SUBJECT: Highway Use Permit - Frogstone Grill SUMMARY: Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic By-Law No. 3136 regulates the use of municipal highways. Highway Use Permits require Council approval where there is intent to sell goods or services. The owner of Frogstone Grill has requested permission to use a portion of municipal highway for a sidewalk café. Permit No. 24.99 authorizes this use. RECOMMENDATION: That Council authorize the Municipal Engineer to issue Highway Use Permit No. 24.99 to the owner of the Frogstone Grill, Hakura Matoda Enterprises. BACKGROUND: The owner of Frogstone Grill at 22932 Lougheed Highway has requested permission to use a portion of the municipal highway to construct a sidewalk café. Authorization for use of municipal highway is through a Highway Use Permit The issuance of Highway Use Permits is regulated through Bylaw No, 3136-1982, Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Bylaw. Section 25 of the bylaw requires Council permission prior to issuance of a permit under certain circumstances. Section 25(a) states the following: Except as authorized by a permit issued by the Council no person shall, upon any highway: sell or display for the purposes of selling any article or thing. Accordingly a patio use fits into the above category and Council's permission is required prior to issuance of a permit. 00.002 .ô3 DISCUSSION: The District's Corporate Strategic Plan and the Official Community Plan both emphasize the need to enhance and attract business to Maple Ridge. The Strategic Plan supports economic development through initiatives that build a sustainable community, attract new employment opportunities and attract investment. The Official Community Plan promotes sustainable growth through encouraging self-sufficient, flourishing businesses and enhanced employment opportunities. In addition the OCP promotes economic diversity and resourcefulness in the community. The OCP also speaks to investigating incentives to stimulate local business initiatives. Discussion's among the Community/Business Relations, Building and Engineering Departments concluded that sidewalk cafes can be a stimulant to greater activity in the restaurant business. Permitting of sidewalk cafes supports the goals of the Strategic and Official Community Plans. The proposed sidewalk café occupies a small area of the municipal right of way (31 m). Some of the larger municipalities such as Vancouver charge a "rental rate" for use of public property. Some such as West Vancouver charge a permit fee. Other municipalities such as Port Moody and Coquitlam have no policy. In the past five years only two restaurants (including the current applicant) have made inquiries about sidewalk cafes. The current demand in Maple Ridge for sidewalk cafes occupying municipal rights of way is very small. Any revenue sources achieved through a rental rate would be marginal and likely act as a disincentive to restaurateurs. A one time processing fee of $100.00 to offset administration costs makes sense for Maple Ridge. A refundable servicing deposit of $1,000.00 to protect against damage to municipal property is also required. Additional revenue will also be achieved through increased licensing fees. Staff have developed a set of guidelines for sidewalk café applications to insure consistency of standards. The Highway Use Pennit documents the liability insurance requirements and save harmless the District against liens and/or claims. As stated there have been a very limited number of inquiries for sidewalk cafes that use municipal rights-of-way. However should the number of inquiries increase Council may wish to consider bringing forward a Policy document to administer applications. At this time permitting through a Highway Use Permit appears sufficient.

Make application with the Inspection Service Department. The Inspection Service and or the Engineering Department will provide a plan review and pre-Inspection. However, the District of Maple Ridge is under no obligations to perform such inspections and these inspections in no way relieve the applicant from the obligation to comply with the regulations and the terms of the Sidewalk Café permiL The plans will be distributed to various departments for acceptance. Upon plan acceptance, a Highway Use permit will be issued to construct the enclosure and or to use the District's sidewalk. An application fee and security deposit along with third party liability insurance will be required at this step. If an enclosure is being constructed, a fmal inspection for use and occupancy is required. S. Each anniversary date (one year from approval date) a renewal request for the Highway Use permit is required. A pre-inspection for conformity with the original agreement will be required prior to issuance of a new permit. It is the operator's responsibility to ensure that the permit is renewed.

LoruLf I I CORP0R4TION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor C. Durksen DATE: June 14, 1999 and Members of Council FILE NO: FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: c/s SUBJECT: Mutual Aid Agreement for Emergencies EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The current Mutual Aid Agreement for emergencies between the Maple Ridge Fire Department and the District of Mission and the District of Pitt Meadows are over 20 years old. These agreements require a review and update of the terms and conditions for the provision of mutual aid. RECOMMENDATION: That the District of Maple Ridge enter into a new Mutual Aid Agreement with the District of Pitt Meadows and the District of Mission the highlights of which are contained in the June 14, 1999 report from the Manager of Operations & Staff Development. BACKGROUND: Mutual Aid Agreements are intended to provide a formal framework for the provision of Fire Department resources to neighboring communities in the event that the fire department resources in these communities are overwhelmed. It also provides for the utilization of neighboring communities' Fire Department resources in the event that the Maple Ridge Fire Department requires additional emergency resources. The highlights of the agreements are as follows: The Fire Department resources are released at the discretion of the Fire Chief. Nothing in the terms of the agreement requires the department to provide resources and resources would only be released providing that sufficient resources were maintained to protect the community. There is no charge for the reciprocal provision of manpower and equipment in the event of an emergency, however any consumables used in the operation, or any damage to trucks and equipment will be paid for by the requesting community. The community in which the emergency occurred will cover any litigation resulting from the actions or in-actions of the Fire Department. The overall command of an incident will remain the responsibility of the senior fire officer of the community in which the emergency occurred, however, the direction of the individual fire fighters and equipment will remain under the control of each fire department. The Fire Chief will attempt to fully utilize the communities' emergency resources before requesting assistance except where special equipment is not available from the bordering parties. When the emergency is brought under control any mutual aid resources shall be released first before any local resources are released. In the instance of the Mutual Aid agreement in Mission, both departments have similar trucks and equipment and are able to provide equal resources in the event of an emergency. In the instance of Mutual Aid with Pitt Meadows, Pitt Meadows does not have the ability to provide an Aerial Tower Truck. A review conducted by the Pitt Meadows Fire Department concluded that it was more fiscally prudent to rely on the provision of mutual aid for an Aerial Tower Truck than to purchase an Aerial Tower Truck for Pitt Meadows Fire Department. As a result of Pitt Meadows not being able to provide an Aerial Tower device through mutual aid, it is recommended that a request for the use of the Maple Ridge Fire Department's Aerial Tower Truck by Pitt Meadows be considered a fee for service above and beyond a regular Mutual Aid Agreement. Use of the Maple Ridge Aerial Tower Truck shall be charged in accordance with Schedule "A" of the Greater Vancouver Regional District's Mutual Aid Agreement for Emergencies. - 1 - 66.63.01 The attached agreements have been reviewed by Lidstone Young and Associates and the British Columbia Municipal Insurance Association and have been revised to reflect their recommendations.

The "First Principles" provide the context for the specific interests explored in other LMTAC interest documents, such the July 1998 Considerations interest paper. Please find attached approved draft 5 of LMTAC's "First Principles" received by the LMTAC membership on June 23, 1999. The attached First Principles deal with issues such as lands, resources and governance that are the subject of treaty negotiations and are also of central importance to local governments. Working with your representatives to the Committee, LMTAC respectfully asks that your Council review the attached First Principles and provide our office with written comments no later than September 30, 1999. We would also be pleased to assist your Council in preparing for the discussion and being present as needed to answer questions. In the Fall, LMTAC will revise the Prinicples to reflect the comments received so that local government concerns with regards to treaties can be effectively presented to the provincial treaty negotiators. Your detailed attention to this matter is most appreciated. Should any questions arise about the attached document, please do not hesitate to contact LMTAC at (604) 451-6179. Yours truly, A DMiNISTRATION Councillor Nancy A. Chiavario .• . JUL 1 3 1999 Chair, Lower Mainland Treaty Advisory Committee Attachment cc: LMTAC Members 4th floor, 4330 Kingsway, Burnoby, B.C., Canada V5H 4G8 Tel (604) 4516179 Fox ( LMTAC "First Principles" DRAFT 5 Page 1 Received by LMT.4C June 23, 1999 and to be reviewed by LMTAC member Councils and Boards by September 30, 1999 LMTAC FIRST PRINCIPLES Background The Lower Mainland Treaty Advisory Committee (LMTAC) held three workshops in 1999 to develop a series of guiding principles that will establish the basis on which specific local government interests can be identified and expressed at Lower Mainland area treaty tables. The First Principles will provide the context for LMTAC input to the provincial treaty negotiation team on topics such as lands, resources and governance. The LMTAC will utilize these First Principles as a starting point to more detailed exploration of the topics in future LMTAC documents and interest papers. LMTAC's First Principles were developed by consensus with the assistance of an independent facilitator. Opinions and issues raised at the workshops that could not be resolved by consensus or which did not directly relate to the First Principles discussion were set aside in a "parking lot" for future review by LMTAC members. The First Principles are in draft form and will be amended as comments are received from LMTAC members. General Principles Consistent application of the LMTAC First Principles shall be maintained across Lower Mainland treaty agreements, particularly with regard to but not limited to taxation, application of laws, land use planning, transportation, environmental regulations and relationships with Local Governments. 2. Treaty agreements in other regions of the Province not be used as a precedent or template for urban treaty settlements and that provisions in Lower Mainland area treaties reflect the complex realities of the urban environment specific to each treaty. LMTAC "First Principles" DRAFT 5 Page 2 Received by LMTAC June 23, 1999 and to be reviewed by LM TA C member Councils and Boards by September 30, 1999 Local Government be recognized in the treaty process as a independent, responsible and accountable order of government, not as a secondary level or third party interest. Treaties should uphold the principle that all Canadians should be afforded equal rights and opportunities, while acknowledging the recognition afforded to the Aboriginal peoples in the Constitution. Treaty settlements must encourage inclusive and accessible communities, to help build respect for Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal peoples' values, heritage, cultuie and traditions. The issues, process and expected outcomes of tripartite treaty negotiations must be open and provide for public input throughout negotiations by First Nations, Provincial and Federal negotiating parties. The cost of the public process to be funded by the tripartite negotiating parties. Agreements in Principle (Stage 4) shall not be completed until all overlaps of those Aboriginal Peoples that have provided statements of intent to the British Columbia Treaty Commission have been resolved and shall include the details of the overlap resolution agreement. Dissenting Views: • does not adequately address latecomers to the treaty process, overlaps and certainty. There should be no "latecomers" to the process. • is unrealistic. • the overlap issue needs to be resolved, not the overlaps themselves. • use of the word "addressed" in place of "resolved". • latecomers and certainty should be addressed in separate principles. The Lower Mainland Treaty Advisory Committee is the voice for Lower Mainland area Local Governments on all issues relating to the treaty process. Lands Urban treaty settlements, because of scarcity of unencumbered lands in the treaty areas, should be composed primarily of cash and other fiscal considerations, rather than land. LMTAC "FirstPrinciples" DRAFT 5 Page 3 Received by LMTA C June 23, 1999 and to be reviewed by LMTAC member Councils and Boards by September 30, 1999 Existing privately owned fee-simple lands, Crown Corporation lands and Local Government owned lands and assets acquired through a Local Government process must not be subject to treaty negotiations. This includes but is not limited to: local government facilities, dedicated municipal parks, protected areas, greenbelts, school board lands, local government commercial operations (i.e. forest lands, park restaurants), and Crown lands subject to a Local Government license or tenure. Explanatory Note: • principle was developed to gain assurance that local government land in all its forms, whether it is owned or dedicated for a specific purpose, will not be subject to treaty negotiations. Various municipal tenure types and land uses are mentioned as examples. In the pre or post treaty negotiation process and during negotiations, where First Nations acquire Crown lands or wish to purchase fee-simple lands within Local Government boundaries, those lands shall remain in fee-simple and remain subject to Local Government jurisdiction and taxation, unless otherwise agreed to by the Local Government through a community consultation process which may include a referendum. Explanatory Note: • principle speaks to local government's jurisdiction over fee simple lands and the continuation of local government regulatory and taxation authority over lands that may be transferred as part of a treaty settlement. • lands received by a First Nation as part of a treaty settlement (or added after the treaty is signed) should have no new or special status (i.e. they should be owned in fee- simple). Dissenting views: • a clause needs to be added which addresses the issue of lands contiguous to existing reserve lands. • pnnciplë could be interpreted as to restrict the land boundaries of treaty settlements to only the existing reserve land base. • it is not realistic. Treaty settlement lands should be held as 'fee-simple' land and not have any unique status as outlined in any other agreement. Explanatory Note: a LMTAC "First Principles" DRAY! S Page 4 Received by LMTAC June 23, 1999 and to be reviewed by LMTAC member Councils and Boards by September 30, 1999 • principle speaks to the need for consistency in local government regulatory jurisdiction. Treaty settlement lands within municipalities and regional districts are to be treated like all other lands. • LMTAC members seeks further clarity on the legal definition of 'fee-simple', how treaty settlement lands will be registerable under the provincial Land Titles Act, and how the form of 'fee-simple' created by the Nisga'a Final Agreement is different from 'fee-simple' lands held by private property owners (i.e. whether the Crown retains underlying title). Treaties must ensure that access (via land, water, air or sub-surface rights-of-way) is maintained to local government-owned lands, privately held lands, leased lands, other rights-of-way, airspaces, and/or private and public infrastructure for the purposes of, but not limited to, infrastructure development and maintenance. Explanatory Note: • principle speaks to the need for continued access to local government lands and assets on, between or adjacent to treaty settlement lands as well as to privately held lands between or adjacent to treaty settlement lands. Dissenting views: principle needs to address issue of overlapping treaty settlement boundaries. Resources: Natural and Physical Sustainabiity of local economies is a priority in the post treaty environment. Lower Mainland area renewable, natural resources, including but not limited to forests, water and fish, must continue to be managed on a sustainable basis in order not to undermine the economic base of Local Governments and their communities. Explanatory Note: • Sustninthility can be generally defmed as the ability "to make development meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." (from Our Common Future, The World Commission on Environment and Development) International wildlife agreements and legislation of the provincial and federal government that applies to non-Aboriginals with respect to conservation of wildlife, migratory birds and fish, be incorporated into all treaties. Present, future and potential refuge areas, including but not limited to areas such as the Boundary Bay Wildlife Management Area and Maple Wood Flats should be identified and protected during the treaty process. LMTAC "First Principles DRAFT S Page 5 Received by LMTAC June 23, 1999 and to be reviewed by LMTAC member Councils and Boards by September 30, 1999 Lands in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) must remain in the ALR and under the jurisdiction of the Agricultural Land Commission. Existing park tenures, agricultural, forests and range leases and licenses and other leases and licenses on Crown lands, and the economic viability of these agreements, and any provisions for their renewal, should be respected. Local Government and private interests in water including but not limited to historic rights of water use, watersheds, water licenses, rights of access to shorelines, status of water lots, access and easements for servicing, and enforcement of purity control standards and water use regulations, must be preserved. This also includes ground water and aquifers. Within the Lower Mainland region, including but not limited to, subsurface and submerged rights shall not be transferred to a First Nation government without consultation and concurrence of Local Government. Forest land which may come under Aboriginal control must remain and continue to be managed within the existing timber supply areas and Forest Districts to ensure no loss of Annual Allowable Cut (AAC) on the land base. Governance and Jurisdiction Treaties must recognize and respect the authority and jurisdiction of the federal, provincial and local governments. Treaty settlements must remain within the framework of the Canadian Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Canadian Criminal Law must continue to apply. Treaties must uphold the principle of "no taxation without representation" for all persons residing on treaty settlement lands. Explanatory Note: LMTAC "First Principles" DRAFT S Page 6 Received by LMTAC June 23, 1999 and to be reviewed by LMTA C member Councils and Boards by September 30, 1999 the principle speaks to the need for treaties to have effective mechanisms to ensure that all persons who are living on treaty settlement lands and who are paying taxes or levies to the First Nation have access and a voice in First Nation governance systems. Aboriginal self-government provisions should provide for First Nation participation in, or partnerships with, Local Governments or First Nation regional governments for more effective and efficient delivery of services and programs. Explanatory Note: • principle speaks to the need for First Nations to achieve a coordinated approach to self government to achieve efficiency, whether it be through partnerships with other First Nations, local or regional governments. • the principle also maintains that First Nations should be involved in regional governance initiatives, such as air and water quality management, sewage treatment, transportation and other issues of regional significance. Standards and regulations that apply to treaty settlement lands must meet or exceed established standards set by federal, provincial and Local Governments for issues including, but not limited to, safety standards, licensing, environmental protection, fire protection, building codes, noise controls, public health and labour standards. Treaties must include an effective dispute resolution mechanism that is accessible to Local Governments, particularly relating to inter-jurisdictional issues, such as, but not limited to, planning, land use, natural resources, growth management, stewardship and transportation. In the matters of Local Government jurisdiction, as defined by provincial legislation, Local Government must have equality of opportunity to assume powers available to First Nations that shall exist in the post-treaty environment. Dissenting views: • Alternative wording: "In a post treaty environment, if First Nations are to enjoy greater rights and powers, there should be an opportunity for Local Governments to take up those powers." Aboriginal self-government must uphold the principle of democracy and accountability. Dissenting views: LMTAC "First Principles" DRAFTS Page 7 Received by LMTAC June 23, 1999 and to be reviewed by LMTA C member Councils and Boards by September 30, 1999 • it is not local governments' responsibility to tell other governments whether they are democratic or not. • the original proposed principle should stand: "Aboriginal self-government should uphold the principle of democracy and accountability, and remain open and accessible to all constituents whether they reside on or off treaty settlement lands or are from the traditional territory of another First Nation." • principle needs further development. Treaty benefits including the provision of programs and services under self-governance arrangements must be accessible to all treaty beneficiaries (as defined through the eligibility and enrollment provisions of each treaty) whether those treaty beneficiaries reside on or off treaty settlement lands such that the cost of providing programs and services to treaty beneficiaries do not become the responsibility of a local government. Explanatory Note: • principle speaks to the fact that Lower Mainland area local governments have increasing off-reserve resident populations and to the need for urban treaties to address this issue. The costs of providing programs and services to First Nations living off future treaty settlement lands should not become the responsibility of local government. Dissenting Views: principle should clearly address the issue of Aboriginal peoples living on treaty settlement lands who are from the traditional territory of another First Nation. Treaties must identify programs and services which because of their regional significance (such as, but not limited to, air quality and sewage treatment) First Nations must provide to their constituents either directly or indirectly through a contract with Local Governments or other agencies for the provision of those programs and services. Explanatory Note: • principle speaks to the various interconnections between urban communities that Lower Mainland area treaties will need to address, and recognizes the responsibility that all jurisdictions have in creating and sustaining systems that benefit all residents of the Lower Mainland. Fiscal 31. Treaties must recognize the fiscal capacity of all levels of government and not impose any extra financial cost to Lower Mainland residents and taxpayers, other than their LMTAC "First Principles" DRAFT 5 Page 8 Received by LMTAC June 23, 1999 and to be reviewed by LMTA C member Councils and Boards by September 30, 1999 contribution to treaty settlements as per the cost sharing Memorandum of Understanding between the province and the government of Canada. Explanatory Note: • principle speaks to the commitment from BC that the revenues coming to local governments will not be affected (i.e. that treaties will be 'revenue neutral' to local governments) and that no undue cost burden will be borne by Lower Mainland area residents in the form of increased taxation, levies, etc. Treaties should recognize and respect transparent mechanisms through which service agreements can be established for financial contributions by all users of Local Government programs, services, and infrastructure. There must be no negative impacts on Local Government tax revenues resulting from treaty settlements, particularly on the ability of Local Government to derive tax revenue from sources such as property taxes and grants-in-lieu from Crown lands. Any revenue loss to Local Governments arising from treaty settlements must be fully compensated. The provincial Municipal Act and Vancouver Charter must be reformed to enable Local Governments to develop flexible taxation and cost recovery mechanisms when dealing with Aboriginal governments. Explanatory Note: • principle speaks to need to reform provincial legislation to enable Local Governments to act more independently when dealing with future Aboriginal governments. Existing legislation often limits the development of new and innovative arrangements. Treaties must respect and recognize existing provincial fiscal commitments to Local Governments.

September 15, 1999 Date without prejudice Dear Neighbor, Welcome to the new world of "Us And Them." Our city council has introduced a Schedule "A" water rate, covering our area. With respect to the water rate, Schedule "A", the "Them'3 people, "Them" being the rest of the people in Maple Ridge water supply area, will pay a water rate fee of $143.00 per year. On the other hand, the "Us" people of the Rothsay/Garibaldi water supply area will pay a water rate of $500.00 per year. Some questions regarding this rate structure come to mind, such as: Is this rate schedule fair? For how many years will this rate be in effect? How will this added cost of water in the "Us" area effect the future sale of said property? As the home owners in the "Us" area are just home owners, and not developers, does the water rate charge for the "Us" area people not seem to be arbitraiy, onerous, discriminatory, and maybe even unconstitutional? Why are the "Us" pçople paying so much more for water? Was someone remiss in their duty while the private water systems were first installed in the "Us" area? Did not the home owners in the "Us" area buy their properties in good faith, believing that the developers in concert with the municipal and provincial governments, had carried out their due diligence on behalf of people in the "Us" area? In any event, we are not looking for culpability today, nor do we say there is any, we just want fairness. We look at the water utility system as being contiguOus, and as such, of benefit to the whole community, both current and future. Should their not then be a fairer way apportioning costs to correct and up-grade the water system in the "Us" area? If you, the good people of the "Us" area, believe, as I do, that there must be a fairer way of addressing this water rate business, get involved. Contact the Mayor, Carl Durksen, and Coundiors Tom Baker, Jim Clements, Candace Gordon, Linda King, Betty Levens, Ken Stewart, and let them know how you feel. Remember also that there will be an election this fall, use your vote well, but most of all ask the people who seek to represent all of Maple Ridge to make a pledge of fairness to each and every citizen of our community and then hold their feet to the fire, so to speak, if they do not measure up.

CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor C. Durksen and Members of Council FROM: Social Planning Advisory Committee SUBJECT: 1% Solution Campaign DATE: September 14, 1999 ATTN: Council RECOMMENDATION: That the District of Maple Ridge support the provision of social housing by considering additional innovative mechanisms to encourage the construction of such housing and to support the 1% Solution Campaign and write the Minister of Labour and Responsible for Homelessness to express such support. BACKGROUND: The Social Planning Advisory Committee of Council wanted to recognize the efforts of Municipal Council in supporting the provision of affordable housing. Recent initiatives such as the housing study, the introduction of densification measures in the Official Community Plan, the creation of small lot zoning, the secondary suite policies, and the recent grant in support of the GVRD housing project on Fraser Street are all testaments to Council's support. However, to truly address the needs of the homeless and particularly those of limited income, a coordinated approach is needed. The Province of British Columbia is one of the only two Provincial Governments still involved in the support of social housing and should be recognized for such effort. As well, the Federal Government has a role to play, particularly in the provision of funds to support initiatives. The number of Canadians that are homeless or one pay-cheque away from being homeless prompted the Toronto Disaster Relief Committee to spearhead the "1% Solution". The 1% Solution is a national campaign requesting that the Federal Government commit an additional 1% of its budget to the provision of new social housing. In support of the 1% Solution the City of Toronto declared homelessness to be a national disaster and has been lobbying other municipalities to support this initiative. At the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conference, the FCM endorsed this 1% Solution. The Social Planning. Advisory Committee is concerned with the lack of Federal dollars being committed to the provision of social housing, and in particular the shortage of such housing in the Lower Mainland. Therefore, the Committee is recommending that the District of Maple Ridge support the 1% Solution and that a resolution supporting the initiative be forwarded to the Honourable Claudette Bradshaw, Minister of Labour and Responsible for Homelessness.
