Checked by: - Date: 1 04- CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: Her Worship Mayor Kathy Morse DATE: September 22, 2004 and Members of Council FILE NO: FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Committee of the Whole SUBJECT: Financial Sustainability Plan - Policy Guidelines EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: During the 2004 Business Plan discussions, Council asked Councillor Daykin and Councillor Dueck to work with staff and develop a sustainable financial plan for the District. This group has spent considerable time researching practices in other governments and is recommending a policy framework that will help develop a sustainable financial plan. The framework was presented to Council at the September 13, 2004 Council Workshop where it was discussed in detail. The policies are now being brought forward for formal considerations. RECOMMENDATION(S): That the Financial Sustainability Plan policies attached to the September 22, 2004 report from the Chief Administrative Officer be approved. BACKGROUND: The District has a sound business planning process that is the envy of most municipalities. The financial plan, that is part of the business planning process, focuses on issues over the ensuing 5 years. Not as much attention is given to matters beyond the 5 year horizon. The attached policies will allow us to evaluate our progress towards meeting the long term financial needs of our community. i Prepared by: Dennk Sartorius, CA Manager of Accounting Approved b Ja e Sorba, CGA D)rector of Finance Approved Pail Gi GAll, C -Chief Administrative Officer - - 13f • POLICY STATEMENT N4APLE R[IKiE District of Manic Ridge Policy No Title: Financial Sustainability Plan Supersedes: NEW Authority: Municipal Council Effective Date: Oct 1, 2004 Approval: Policy Statement: The District's financial planning will be guided by the attached Financial Sustainability Plan policy guidelines. Purpose: - A proactive strategy is required that will lay the groundwork for the continuance of high quality services and provide a legacy for future generations. It will position the Municipality to meet financial obligations and take advantage of opportunities that arise; it will also mean that residents can look forward to equitable and affordable taxation. The policies should be designed and structured to develop principles that guide, support and respect the direction of the community. Definitions: FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY PLAN Policy Guidelines Purpose: A proactive strategy is required that will lay the groundwork for the continuance of high quality services and provide a legacy for future generations. It will position the Municipality to meet financial obligations and take advantage of opportunities that arise; it will also mean that residents can look forward to equitable and affordable taxation. The policies should be designed and structured to develop principles that guide, support and respect the direction of the community. Policy Guidelines: Growth in Tax Base: Discussion: Maple Ridge is a growing community and all indications are that this will continue. Growth brings in new tax revenue which must be estimated using the best available data. Policy 1.0 Real growth will be set based on the experience of the previous planning period and the projections for the ensuing period, using information provided by the BC Assessment Authority, the Planning Department and the Finance Department. Service demands created by a growing community: Discussion: Growth creates demands for service. Often, the additional tax revenue is not sufficient to pay for the costs of providing the services necessary to keep with established standards. It is important that the demands created by growth be recognized and efforts be made to maintain existing standards. Policy 2.0 Business Plans should provide details of the demands for service created by growth and should include options as to how the demands can be met and existing standards maintained. Tax Increase: Discussion: Rising costs of existing services must be recognized and we must resist the temptation to reduce non-renewable reserves to fund operating expenses. Policy 3.0 Tax increases of4 % per year to maintain existing service levels. - - FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY PLAN Efficiencies, Demand Management & Service Level Reductions: Discussion: The continuous search for efficiencies is a sound business practice that we have embedded in the way we do business. Also, we do not have the resources to meet all of the demands that are made of us. Demand must be managed to make sure that expectations reflect our fiscal realities and the need to contain expenditures. Areas where service level reductions may be possible must be identified and brought forward for Council's cons ideration. Policy 4.0 Business Plans will identify demand management strategies and will include options for Service Level reductions. Alternative Revenues & External Funding: Discussion: The District should strive to produce non-traditional revenues and diversify its tax base. Policy 5.0 All departments will make every effort to access externalfunding opportunities from other levels of government & the private sector. All departments will endeavor to develop partnerships, strategic alliances and co-shared project funding to assist in the reduction of expenditures to the District. An expansion of the tax base, beyond existing ratios, can be used to reduce the general tax rate, increase service levels and/or provide new services. Infrastructure Maintenance & Replacement: Discussion: The District has in excess of $1 billion invested in its infrastructure. This includes our direct investments and investments made by the development community that are turned over to the municipality to operate and maintain. As our community grows, this investment increases. We need to develop a plan to keep the infrastructure in a proper state of repair to avoid costly failures. Policy 6.0 The District will establish an inventory of its infrastructure and will keep it up to date. A -- maihtenance/replUThent program will be established using best practices. Bjr2015, this - - program must be fully funded and the current 5 yearfinancial plan should start to address this on a phased basis. The required tax increase will be beyond that set out in Policy 2. Policy 6.1 Annual Operating & Maintenance budgets will be adjusted to accommodate growth. FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY PLAN 7. New Services and Major Enhancements to Existing Services: Discussion: The tax increase established in Policy 2 essentially allows us to provide the same level of service to the existing tax base. It is not designed to provide for new services or major enhancements to existing services. Policy 7.0 New Services or Enhancements to Existing Services will be funded by a combination ofi Reduction in the cost of existing services. This may include a reallocation of resources from one area to another. Increase in other revenues. A further increase in taxes. 8. Debt Management: Discussion: The maximum amount that the District can borrow from external sources is set by the Community Charter. Every effort should be made to keep debt levels at a minimum however there may be instances where borrowing money is appropriate i.e. financing major infrastructure projects. Borrowing in such instances allows the costs of the project to be spread out over the useful life of the asset. This results in the costs being paid by future beneficiaries and not just by current taxpayers. Policy 8.0 Projects that are to be funded by external debt should be submitted to Council with a business case, including recommendations on how the debt will be serviced. 9. Fees and Charges: Discussion: Fees & Charges are a sign/lcant portion of our revenues. They will be reviewed on a regular basis to avoid major changes and to provide the public with adequate notice of those changes. The review will include an analysis of our costs as well as what is charged by other municipalities. Policy 9.0 Fees & Charges will be reviewed and adjusted annually. The public will be provided no less than 3 months notice of those changes. FINANCIAL SUTA1NABILITY PLAN Accumulated Surplus: Discussion: Accumulated Surplus represents Inon-renewable accumulated savings and should not be usedfor operating purposes or for normal capital purposes. Policy 10.0 Accumulated surplus will be considered as a funding source for extraordinary one-time expenditures. Reserve Funds and Reserve Accounts: Discussion: The District has a series of reserve funds and reserve accounts that are established for various purposes. They can help us deal with unexpected variations from normal operations, which could include natural, environmental or economic events. As well, they can assist in funding opportunities that arise. Policy 11.0 Each Reserve Account and Reserve Fund will be governed by policy that outlines its purpose, the types of expenditures permitted and the desired level of the reserve. Strategies for achieving the desired level of the reserve will be included in the Business Plans. Capital Projects: Discussion: Many capital projects have funding sources other than General Revenue. For instance, a substantial amount of infrastructure is funded by Development Cost Charges. Once the project is completed, its operating costs, and replacement are usually provided for by General Revenue. These ongoing costs must be clearly understood, before a capital project is approved. Policy 12.0 Each Capital Project submitted for consideration must clearly spell out the full initial cost as well as future costs, including operating & life cycle cost, and demonstrate the source ofsustainablefundingfor such costs. 4 FINANCIAL SU.STAINABILITY PLAN 13. Carryforward Projects: Discuss ion: From time to time, funding is allocated for a project (capital or operating) but the project is not completed in the year that it was budgeted for. An example of a capital project of this nature is the land required to complete firefighters park. An example of an operating project would be the work to be done on the Official Community Plan. Many times, the reason for the delay is due to factors beyond the control of the municipality. For instance, some projects are delayed while we try to secure funding from other partners. Projects can also be delayed if we are not able to negotiate what we believe to be afair price. In such instances, funding is "carried forward" in recognition of the fact that project is still required and we want to be in a position to complete the transaction, once other approvals are obtained. Nonetheless, there is a need to review carryforward projects, in light of other priorities that might have emerged. Policy 13.0 Corporate Management will complete a detailed review, of carryforward Projects, in light of other priorities that might have emergeL CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS COMMITTEE MINUTES October 8, 2004 Mayor's Office PRESENT: 3C 1v1 H -k/IS I-C.TI'v- Mayor }€rrhy-M Chairman J.L.

In line with most provincial and federal funding announcements there are no criteria or funding eligability announced at present. It is therefore not clear as to whether the funding will require leveraging with municipal dollars, available only to regional entities, geared to marketing or infrastructure, etc. It is my recommendation to modify the resolution to support the funding increase to Tourism but insert the following statement, Be it resolved that the District of Maple Ridge expresses its support for the recent tourism inititatives of the Premier of British Columbia and acknowledges the important role this will help play in our region and our community. The District of Maple Ridge is providing this expression of support with the understanding and expectation that the funding eligabiltiy will reflect the needs of the communities outside of the major urban core and be accessible to address the needs of attraction creation and infrastructure development in municipalities with limited budget capabilities.

Local tourism operators and communities received some very exciting news in Premier Gordon Campbell's recent speech to the Union of BC Municipalities. In particular, the Premier made two important announcements at UBCM that will have a very significant impact in attracting new visitors to our province in an ever-competitive international marketplace. The provincial government will be increasing Tourism BC's marketing budget by $25 million - a 100% increase aimed at doubling the size of the tourism industry within the next decade. With the industry already generating $10 billion annually in provincial economic activity, more than 100,000 jobs and one billion dollars in revenue to government, these new marketing funds will greatly enhance economic growth in all regions. The additional announcement of a $25 million one-time grant to UBCM is another important acknowledgement of the potential there is to create new tourism opportunities in communities throughout the province. The Council of Tourism Associations of BC (COTA), which represents 18,000 businesses across the diverse spectrum of tourism industry groups, invites your Council to join us in acknowledging the importance of this expanded commitment to tourism. While we often spend significant time and resources making demands of government and from time to time leveling criticism, we believe it is important to publicly recognize government for taking positive action. We encourage your Council to pass a motion in support of the government's dedication to further developing British Columbia's tourism industry (a draft resolution is attached for discussion purposes only). COTA would appreciate receiving a copy of your resolution (please send to Council of Tourism Associations at email: mmahoniones(äcotabc.com and/or fax: 604-685-5915). On behalf of the Council. of Tourism Associations of BC, thank you for your consideration of this important matter. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this issue further or answer any questions you may have about this or any other issue related to BC's tourism industry. Please contact myself or Mary Mahon Jones, CEO of the COTA at 604 685-5956.

Proposed Use of Property: Access: Servicing: Project Description: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Single family residential Vacant Single family residential Laity Street Full Urban This application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) to permit subdivision into 3 single family lots. Each of the lots will have a minimum lot area of 297m 2 and a lot width of 10.5 metres. Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The property is currently designated Compact Housing at 40 units per net hectare on Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan. The proposed zone and development proposal respects the existing designations. Development Permit Area XLI Development Permit Area XLI was established to address intensive residential development for densities ranging from 30 - 60 units per net hectare with fee simple or bare land strata lots. The proposed development is within the prescribed density range and as a result the Official community Plan requires an amendment to include the property in Development Permit Area XLI to guide the form and character of the project. Prior to issuance of any building permits, Council will have to review and approve a Development Permit that details the above. e -2- 0 Development Considerations The subject property is located in a neighbourhood with a wide variety of lot sizes and the homes range from relatively new to older housing stock. The homes have been designed with architectural elements evident in the neighborhood. The front porches have columns to give an open space appearance with the front of home being setback 5.5 meters from the front lot line. This setback is similar to that of neighboring homes. The proposed single family land use will complement the existing neighbourhood land uses. The form and character of the proposed houses will be guided through the. development permit process to ensure that they integrate with the character of the existing houses in the area. The applicant has undertaken a residential character study of the surrounding neighborhood. The purpose of the character study is to ensure that new development is both compatible with existing development in the area and is internally consistent in character and quality. Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering report identifies that all of the required the municipal services are available to service the proposed three lots. All of the servicing details will be dealt with at the subdivision stage. Intergovernmental Issues: Local Government Act: An Official Community Plan amendment is required to designate the subject property as a development permit area. An amendment to the OCP requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 882 of the Local Government Act. The amendment required for this application is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial Governments. The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. -3- CONCLUSION: S That application RZ/079/04 be favorably considered and that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6258 - 2004 and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6259 - 2004 be read a first time and be forwarded to Public Hearing. • Plan ng Technician Approv nkiIIg,Mc, MCIP t.

The Applicant's submission conforms with the notice of application requirements of the Agricultural Land Commission. RECOMMENDATION: The following resolutions are provided for Council's consideration: The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with no comment; The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with comments; The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a recommendation to exclude the property with or without comments; The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a recommendation to not exclude the property with or without comments; and The application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission. Staff Recommendation: - Based on the information provided in this report, staff recommend that Council not authorize Application AL/098/04 for property located at 11830 240 th Street to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission. In the event that this application is forwarded, both the applicant and the Commission are to be provided with an understanding of the current OCP policy and servicing constraints on the property, as outlined in this report. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Kenneth Froese Owner: Kenneth Froese Legal Description: Parcel A (EP 11375) of Lot 26, Plan 1973 and of the S '/2 Lot 1, Plan 7893 of Sec. 15, Tp. 12, NWD OCP: Existing: Agricultural Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Surrounding Uses North: 4 properties, 1 farm use, 3 residential use, designated Agricultural, zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), 100 % within the Agricultural Land Reserve, 1 with, 3 without farm class status according to BC Assessment Authority information.

West: 4 properties, residential use, designated Single Family Use, 2 zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), 2 zoned CD-1-93 (Amenity Residential District). Existing Use of Property: Residential Proposed Use of Property: No proposal at this time. Access: 240th Street b) Project Description: The subject property is located near the intersection of 240 th and Dewdney Trunk Road and comprises a parcel size of 2.1 hectares (5.2 acres). Plans for developing this subject property are not explicitly stated, as the applicant will review development options upon completion of the Official Community Plan review. The applicant is of the opinion that this property is not suitable for agriculture, given its small parcel size and proximity to residential development It is anticipated, therefore, that the intention is to develop this property for purposes other than agricultural or rural residential. The subject property is within close vicinity of other applications on 240th Street for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve, for which a final decision has not yet been reached. These applications include AL/043/04, to the south of the subject property, and AL/094/04 to the north. -2- c) Planning Analysis: Rural Plan The subject property lies within Sub Area C of the 1997 Rural Plan Advisory Committee's final report. The general intent of the Rural Plan, and of the subsequent 1998 Council decision for this study area was to retain the area within the Agricultural Land Reserve, with a use emphasis of rural residential, and to ensure that it provides an effective urbanlrural interface. Options for Council On July 19, 2004, a report for processing exclusion applications was received by Council outlining legal implications and the local government's role in processing applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Council resolved to consider the following options for referring applications to the Agricultural Land Commission: The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with no comment. • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with comments. • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a recommendation to exclude the property with or without comments. • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a recommendation to not exclude the property with or without comments. • The application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission. Applicants and the Commission are to be advised that land use decisions will continue to be directed by Council. Development Considerations The,following land use implications of the proposed exclusion need to be considered: • Although the applicant does not explicitly state development plans, it is anticipated that the • intention is for purposes other than agricultural or rural residential. The subject property is currently designated for Agricultural use under the existing Official Community Plan. Any change in that use would require an amendment to the Official Community Plan. The potential redevelopment of this property is inconsistent with the goals of the Livable Region Strategic Plan and the Regional Context Statement adopted by the District in the Official Community Plan. This application is in an area which lies outside the urban area boundary and is designated as Green Zone in the Livable Region Strategic Plan. Maple Ridge must consider the four fundamental strategies of the Livable Region Strategic Plan (LSRP) when considering future development: Protection of the Green Zone; Building of complete communities; Achievement of a compact metropolitan region, and -3- iv) Increased transportation choice. • The Official Community Plan is currently underreview. While designations may change as a result of that review, there is no guarantee that this property will be designated for urban development upon conclusion of the Official Community Plan. • The land use implications and development pressures that will occur for excluded properties that do not become designated for urban purposes during the process of the Official Community Plan review may be a consideration. Although disappointed at this outcome, many applicants will still have expectations for redevelopment in the longer term. • The subject property at 11830 240th Street has sewer connection in accordance with Policy No. 9.02, which was adopted in November, 1993. This policy grants permission for sewer connection to all property owners within the Agricultural Land Reserve whose property abuts an existing lateral sewer line. It also makes provisions for extending services where public health is a concern and Agricultural Land Commission permission is granted. This policy is intended to provide a single connection to each existing parcel, and should not be considered a means to facilitate further subdivision. An application to the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Board to permit sewer extension and an application to the Greater Vancouver Regional District to amend the Green Zone boundaries would be required prior to permitting an urban style of development. There is no guarantee that such applications would be approved. d) Alternatives: Council has been provided with a range of options for processing this application. The staff recommendation is not to forward the application based upon considerations as outlined within this report. CONCLUSION: Based on the report dated July 15, 2004, for processing applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve, Council has been provided with options for referring applications to the Agricultural Land Commission as outlined in this report, dated October 4, 2004. As directed by Council on July 19, 2004, a staff recommendation has been provided.

Existing Use of Property: Residential Proposed Use of Property Not explicitly stated. Access: 2401h Street Project Description The subject property is located near the intersection of 240 th and Dewdney Trunk Road and comprises a parcel size of .587 hectares (1.46 acres). Due to its small parcel size of less than 2 acres as of December 21, 1972, the subject property is exempt from the restrictions on land as set out in Section 23(1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act. Parcôls of this description are therefore to be administered by the local government with respect to land use, subdivision, and zoning, although they remain in the Agricultural Land Reserve unless excluded by the formal application process. The applicant is aware of the legislation and wishes to proceed with a formal exclusion application. Under its current RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zoning, the subject property cannot be subdivided as the minimum parcel size in this zone is 0.80 hectares (1.98 acres). The applicant has not explicitly stated any development plans for the subject property, and will explore development options upon completion of the review of the Official Community Plan. -2- Rural Plan The subject property lies within Sub Area C of the 1997 Rural Plan Advisory Committee's final report. The general intent of the Rural Plan, and of the subsequent 1998 Council decision for this study area was to retain the area within the Agricultural Land Reserve, with a use emphasis of rural residential, and to ensure that it provides an effective urban/rural interface. b) Planning Analysis: The subject property is currently designated for Agricultural Use under the existing Official Community Plan. Any change in that use would require an amendment to the Official Community Plan. Options for Council On July 19, 2004, a report for processing exclusion applications was received by Council outlining legal implications and the local government's role in processing applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The staff recommendation is not to forward the application, based upon information provided within this report. It should be noted that subject property, due to its small parcel size, is already exempt from the regulations of the Agricultural Land Reserve, and as such will not be restricted by this notation on title. As before, the current zoning and Official Community Plan desigration of the subject property will continue to regulate the land uses of the subject property. CONCLUSION: Based on the report dated July 15, 2004, for processing applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve, Council has been provided with options for referring applications to the Agricultural Land Commission as outlined in this report, dated October 4, 2004. As directed by Council on July 19, 2004, a staff recommendation has been provided.

Agricultural Land Reserve. proceeded to the Agricultural Land Commission but was refused. Application AL/004/98 for subdivision within the Agricultural Land Reserve was not authorized by Council to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission. Application AL1099/04 has been received to exclude the subject property from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The applicant has satisfied notification requirements under the Agricultural Land Reserve Procedure Regulation. The notice requests written comments to be forwarded to the District of Maple Ridge. Thus far, three letters have been received, two in favour and one opposed. IWM Project Description: The subject property is in the vicinity of 128' Avenue and 235th Street and comprises a parcel size of 7.4 hectares (18.3 acres). Plans for developing this subject property are not explicitly stated, as the applicant will explore development options upon completion of the Official Community Plan review. However, the land owner's application to the Agricultural Land Reserve suggests that the lands be "improved for single family housing." Planning Analysis: Rural Plan The subject property lies within Sub Area B of the Rural Plan Advisory Committee's final report. The general intent of the Rural Plan and of the subsequent 1998 Council Decision for this area is to retain the land within the Agricultural Land Reserve. Options for Council On July 19, 2004, a report for processing exclusion applications was received by Council outlining legal implications and the local government's role in processing applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Council resolved to consider the following options for referring applications to the Agricultural Land Commission: • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with no comment. • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with comments. • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a recommendation to exclude the property with or without comments. • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a recommendation to not exclude the property with or without comments. • The application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission. Applicants and the Commission are to be advised that land use decisions will continue to be directed by Council. Development Considerations The following land use implications of the proposed exclusion need to be considered: • Although the applicant does not explicitly state development plans, it is anticipated that the intention is for purposes other than agricultural or rural residential. The subject property is currently designated for Agricultural Use under the existing Official Community Plan. Any other land uses would require an amendment to the Official Community Plan. • The potential redevelopment of this property is inconsistent with the goals of the Livable Region Strategic Plan and the Regional Context Statement adopted by the District in the Official Community Plan. This application is in an area which lies outside the urban area boundary and is designated as Green Zone in the Livable Region Strategic Plan. Maple Ridge must consider SIE the four fundamental strategies of the Livable Region Strategic Plan (LSRP) when considering future development: Protection of the Green Zone; Building of complete communities; Achievement of a compact metropolitan region, and Increased transportation choice. • The Official Community Plan is currently under review. While designations may change as a result of that review there is no guarantee that this property will be designated for urban development upon conclusion of the Official Community Plan. • The land use implications and development pressures that will occur for excluded properties that do not become designated for urban purposes during the process of the Official Community Plan review may be a consideration. Although disappointed at this outcome, many applicants will still have expectations for redevelopment in the longer term. • The subject property at 23468 128" Avenue is not within the Fraser Sewerage Area Boundary. An application to the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Board to permit sewer extension and an application to the Greater Vancouver Regional District to amend the Green Zone boundaries would be required prior to permitting an urban style of development. There is no guarantee that such applications would be approved. d) Alternatives: Council has been provided with a range of options for processing this application. The staff recommendation is not to forward the application based upon considerations as outlined within this report. CONCLUSION: Based on the report dated July 15, 2004, for processing applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve, Council has been provided with options for referring applications to the Agricultural Land Commission as outlined in this report, dated October 6, 2004. As directed by Council on July 19, 2004, a staff recommendation has been provided.

Sept. 04/04 To Whom It May Concern; I am writing this letter in general support of the applicants for their proposal to remove the property addressed as, 23468 128th from the ALR and to rezone to single family dwelling. With this support, I would hope that the District of Maple Ridge would not permit small lot zoning but would try to have the property fit into the existing area. There is a large demand in our area for larger lot, single family zoning. With the one side already having 1 acre zoning, this property would fit perfectly with 1/2 acre gross density. The development of Cedar Ridge, off 232 St. comes to mind as a great example of how this property could blend perfectly into the area. Many other areas have such development but for some reason, Maple Ridge has not. This would be a great opportunity to enhance this area and Maple Ridge itself. Most of the area east of this property is already developed with 1 acre parcels so this would help increase the density of the area but not to overwhelm it. Yours truly, Wes Eaton 24150 Fern Crescent Maple Ridge, B.C.

Section 2 1(2) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act requires an application to the Agricultural Land Commission prior to subdividing agricultural land. The subject property comprises a site area of approximately 3.187 hectares (7.87 acres). The Applicant's submission conforms with the RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zoning of the subject property. RECOMMENDATION: That Council authorize Application AL/080104 for property located at 22845 132 Avenue to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission for further consideration. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Sandra A Trochta Owner: Tadeusz Trochta & Anna Trochta Legal Description: Lot 16, Section 29, Township 12, Plan 32932, NWD OCP: Existing: Agricultural Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Surrounding Uses North: Farm and residential use, designated Conservation Area, Agriculture, and Eco Cluster and zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), 34 % within the Agricultural Land Reserve, has farm exempt status according to BC Assessment Authority information. qoc South: Rural residential, designated Agricultural and zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), 100 % within the Agricultural Land Reserve, without farm class status according to BC Assessment Authority information East: Farm and rural residential, designated Agricultural and zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), 100 % within the Agricultural Land Reserve, with farm class status according to BC Assessment Authority information. West: Rural residential, designated Agricultural and zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), 100 % within the Agricultural Land Reserve, without farm class status according to BC Assessment Authority information. Existing Use of Property: Rural residential, designated Agricultural and zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), 100 % within the Agricultural Land Reserve, without farm class status according to BC Assessment Authority information. Proposed Use of Property: Residential Access: 132' Avenue Servicing: Community Water Supply. Project Description: The application is west of the intersection of of 13211(1 Avenue and 232 nd Street. The application is for a two lot subdivision of land within the Agricultural Land Reserve with proposed lot sizes of approximately 1.3 hectares (3.2 acres) and 1.9 hectares (4.7 acres). Lot sizes anddimensions will exceed minimum lot size requirements of the RS- 3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone. The applicant indicates the existing dwelling will remain on the subject property with a new dwelling to be constructed on the newly created parcel. Planning Analysis: Rural Plan The subject property is within Rural Sub-Area A of the 1997 District of Maple Ridge Rural Plan. This land is recommended for retention within the Agricultural Land Reserve with the use emphasis being agriculture. Recommendations include retention of large parcels, and discouragement of subdivision for properties north of 1280h Avenue. However, this recommendation was not specifically addressed by Council in the 1998 Summary of Council Decisions on Implementation. The Zoning Bylaw permits agricultural uses in the RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone, and the two lots created would exceed the minimum parcel size requirements of this zone. As well, the two proposed lots are larger than the properties across 132 nd Avenue to the south which are also in the INE Agricultural Land Reserve. A watercourse (Cattell Brook) indicated on the subject property would require a 15 meter streamside setback. d) Interdepartmental Implications: The application has been referred to the Engineering Department for their consideration. A number of concerns have been identified that must be addressed prior to subdivision, including sewage disposal, Flood Construction Levels, road dedication, and watercourse protection. However, for the purpose of this application, the lot geometry is supportable. CONCLUSION: As this application for subdivision within the Agricultural Land Reserve is consistent with the current zoning of the subject property, and as the lot sizes are compatiblewith adjacent properties, it is recommended that Council authorize Application AL/080/04 to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission.

An Official Community Plan amendment is required to include the site into Development Permit XLI and to redesignate a portion of the site from Compact Housing (40 units per net hectare) (16 units per net acre) to Conservation. The development plan is compatible with the existing neighbourhood and will provide for an additional access into the existing development to the south of the site. RECOMMENDATIONS: That, acknowledging that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6270 - 2004 has been considered in conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan, Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6270 - 2004 be read a first time and forwarded to Public Hearing; That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6271 -2004 be. read a first time and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading.

(4.79 acres) in size. It is located on the south side of 102 Avenue, in the Albion area. There are two watercourses which impact the site; Mainstone Creek on the north and Jackson Farm Creek on the south. The development proposal will require the construction and creek crossing of 242B Street across Jackson Farm Creek as well as an enclosure of a ditch at the north end of the site. Setbacks for these watercourses have been established in conjunction with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (copy of the geometry showing the setbacks is attached) and are generally in compliance with the District's Streamside Assessment Map. The habitat protection areas for these watercourses will total 24% of the land area of the development site and will be dedicated as park. The development proposal is for 31 lots using the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zone and will be included into Development Permit XLI to ensure the form and character is addressed at the Building Permit stage. The road standard proposed will be that used for the balance of the Albion Village and will require Council approval of a Development Variance Permit prior to the subdivision taking place. The right of way width for this development is 16.5 metres (54 ft.) for 101A Street and 16.5 metres (54 ft.) for 242B Street from 102 Avenue to the north side of 101 Street and tapering down to 15.5 metres (51 ft.) to the -2- south where it will connect with the existing 242B Street on the south side of Jackson Farm Creek. The dedication and construction of 242B Street will provide for another connection from 10013 Avenue to 102 Avenue, thereby providing an alternative access into the area. Currently, all traffic in this area must use 244 Street as the northlsouth connecting road. Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: Schedule B The subject site is designated Compact Housing (40 units per net hectare) (16 units per net acre) on Schedule B of the Official Community Plan. The development proposal complies with this designation. It will, however, be necessary to amend this Schedule to Conservation to reflect the location and protection areas for Mainstone Creek on the north and Jackson Farm Creek on the south. This redesignation is based on the protection areas for the two watercourses. Schedule E Schedule B of the Official Community Plan identifies Mainstone Creek on the north portion of the site and Jackson Farm Creek on the south. It will be necessary to amend this Schedule for the small portion of Mainstone Creek on the most easterly parcel (W V2 of Lot 2, Plan 17126) as it will be closed in through the development process. This amendment will be done when the next overall amendment is provided to Council. Schedules A & H Schedules A & H of the Official Community Plan will be amended to include the development site into Development Permit Area XLI. This Development Permit Area was established to address intensive residential development for densities ranging from 3 0-60 units per net hectare (12-24 units per net acre) with fee simple lots. Prior to a Building Permit being issued it will be necessary for Council to approve a Development Permit that establishes the overall design character for this development. Zoning Bylaw: The application is to rezone the land to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zone which allows for lots with a minimum parcel size of 213 m2 (2292 sq.ft) and single family dwellings. This is an intensive residential zone and will be subject to the form and character guidelines of Development Permit Area XLI. Environmental Implications: There are two watercourses On the property, Mainstone Creek at the north end of the site and Jackson Farm Creek on the south. The development proposal will require the construction of a crossing over Jackson Farm Creek for the extension of 242B Street. An enclosure of a ditch at the north end of the site near the head waters of Mainstone Creek will also be required. An environmental assessment has been prepared by Triton Environmental Consultants Ltd with respect to these issues and a restoration plan has been proposed for the Albion Brook system. This plan entails dedication of the watercourse protection areas as park and will be appropriately planted to improve the riparian food and nutrient values. The District and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans have indicated support for the proposal. The proposed creek works will require authorization under the Fisheries Act and the Water Act in order to proceed. Development Permits: The development site will be subject to two Development Permit areas as follows: Development Permit XXX The site is subject to Development Permit Area XXX for the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment. Prior to doing any on-site works within 50 meters (164.04 feet) of the Mainstone Creek and Jackson Farm Creek it will be necessary for Council to approve a Development Permit which addresses the Objectives and Guidelines of Development Permit Area XXX and for the developer to provide security for habitat protection in compliance with Council's Performance Security for Environmental Protection Policy. Security for the compensation works in support of Jackson Farm Creek crossing works will also be required as part of the permit. In keeping with the Guidelines of Development Permit Area XXX, the habitat protection area has been established in conjunction with the District's Streamside Setback Map and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and will be dedicated as Park as a condition of rezoning. This will meet the Approving Officer's requirement under Section 941 of the Local Government Act as it relates to compensation and/or the provision of park land at the subdivision stage. Development Permit XLI: The site will be included into Development Permit XLI to guide the form and character of intensive residential development under the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Zone. This Development Permit will address design guidelines for the site, including: • Site circulation • Building form and character • Landscaping of private space. Prior to issuance of any building permits, Council will review and consider approval of a Development Permit that details the above. e) Citizen/Customer Implications: The development of this site will provide for another road connection to the existing development to the south. This will provide for improved vehicle and pedestrian circulation. Calls have been received from a concerned resident of the existing neighbourhood to the south with regard to the width of the proposed 242B Street. Presently this neighbourhood has only one north/south road connection from 102 Avenue that provides vehicle access to 124 lots, that being 244 Street the construction of 242B Street will provide for an additional access into this neighbourhood. The concern expressed was that 242B Street be constructed at wider than 15.5 meters (51 ft.) to accommodate the increase in traffic. The standards established for the Albion Village were a collector road standard of 16.5 meters (54 ft.) and an urban local road standard of 15.5 meters (5 1 . ft.). In the case of this neighbourhood, the following standard applies: -4- 101A Avenue and 244and 242B Street up to 101A Avenue are a collector road standard (16.5 meters) (54 ft.), 101B Avenue and 242B, 243, 243A Street and 244 Street north to 101A Avenue are urban local road standard (15.5 meters) (51 ft.). Given the concerns raised, Council may wish to have staff review the right-of-way width for that portion of 242B Street south of the 101A Avenue alignment through the Development Variance Permit process. Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has reviewed this application and advises that the following will have to be addressed: • A Rezoning Development Agreement must be entered into for upgrading that portion of 102 Avenue that will be dedicated as Park. • Road dedication on 102 Avenue frontage to ensure an arterial standard of a 26 meter right of way will be required as part of this development proposal. • The applicant must make application to the Municipal Clerk to have the site included into Sewer Area A. Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks & Leisure Services Department has identified that after the subdivision is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that there will be an additional 36 trees which is based on one tree per lot; final subdivision design will provide exact numbers. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by $900.00. Fire Department: The Fire Department has reviewed the development proposal and has indicated that the alternate access that this application will provide into the neighbourhood is desirable. Intergovernmental Issues: Local Government Act: An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 882 of the Act. The amendment required for this application, is from Compact Housing (40 units per net hectare) to Conservation, to reflect the location of two existing watercourses, and is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial Governments. The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. -5- Ministry of Transportation: The subject site is within 800 meters of the Lougheed Highway and is subject to Section 54 (2) of the Highway Act. It will be necessary to have the zone amending bylaw approved by the Minister of Transportation prior to final reading of that bylaw. CONCLUSION: The development proposal is in compliance with the Official Community Plan. The subdivision of the land will provide for another connection to the neighbourhood to the south which will provide for better vehicle and pedestrian circulation. It is recommended that First Reading be given to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw 6270-2004 and Zone Amending Bylaw 6271-2004 and the application be forwarded to Public Hearing. nician ?

The correct strategy is to create a continuous character theme from the established area in the 9900 block of 242 B Street through to the natural completion point at 102 Avenue. Therefore, creation of a new character area is not contemplated. Rather, new homes constructed at the subject site should result in seamless continuity with the recently completed site to the south. Attributes for new homes will therefore be as described above under "Form and character of homes in immediate vicinity of subject site", and in the photographs above. New homes will however not be duplicates of the designs abov, but will create some interesting new variations within the clearly defined style range.

RECOMMENDATION: That the Municipal Clerk be authorized to notify qualifying property owners that approval of VP/008/04 respecting property located at 11330 & 11342 236 Street will be considered by Council at the November 91h, 2004 meeting. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context Applicant: James Pernu, McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd. Owner: 541717 B C Ltd. Legal Description: Lot 17 & 18, Section 16, Township 12, Plan 36461, NWD OCP: Existing: Single Family Residential (15/18/30 units per net hectare) (6/7/12 units per net acre), Conservation Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Zone: Designation: South: Use: Zone: Designation: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) CD- 1-93 (Amenity Residential District) Residential CD- 1-93 (Amenity Residential District) Single Family Residential (15, 18, 30 upnh) Residential RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential) Single Family Residential (15, 18, 30 upnh) 107~ East: Use: Horseshoe Creek Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Single Family Residential (15, 18, 30 upnh) and Conservation West: Use: Townhouses Zone: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) Designation: Compact Housing (40 units per net hectare) Existing Use of Property: Residential Proposed Use of Property: Residential Access: 236th Street and Creekside Street Servicing: Full Urban Previous Applications:•• RZ/008/04, SD/008/04 Requested Variance: To vary Schedule "B" of the Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800 - 1993 as amended, to reduce the width of 236 Street along the frontages of the subject properties from 18 metres (59.055 ft.) to 15.5 metres (50.85 ft.). Project Description: The subject properties are under application for rezoning and subdivision to permit the creation of 16 residential building lots. The rezoning application has received 3 d reading and the PLA has been issued for the subdivision application. The subdivision pattern will provide for the southward extension of 236A Street through the subject site to a new internal road, 113 Avenue. 236 Street is classified as an urban local street in the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw. This by-law requires a right-of-way width for an urban local street of 18 meters (59 feet). The existing 236A Street right-of-way north of the site is 15.5 meters wide. This was permitted by DVP/024/99. This application is to permit the extension of 236A Street with the same 15.5 meter width. Planning Analysis: The existing 236A Street right of.way north of this site is 15.5 meters (50.85 ft.) wide. This subdivision proposes an approximately 33 meter (108 ft.) southward extension of 236A Street to intersect with 1 13th Avenue, utilizing the same right of way width that now exists. While four new lots will front the extended 236A Street, only the lots on the west side of this road will have vehicular access to this road. The lots on the east side of this road will have vehicular access via a rear lane. Given that this is a short extension of an existing road, the Planning Department has no objection to the proposed road right-of-way variance. e) Interdepartmental Implications: The Engineering Department advises that the extended 236 Street will be constructed to include all the service requirements for an urban local road including curb, gutter, sidewalk and Street trees. -2- 1) Alternatives: The alternative is to provide the extension of 236A Street at a width of 18 meters. CONCLUSIONS: That application VP/008/04 be favorably considered and that the Municipal Clerk be authorized to notify qualifying property owners. ,,c ) Prepared .

It is recommended that Council require money in lieu of parkland dedication for properties located at 23608, 23618 & 23628 Dewdney Trunk Road. RECOMMENDATION: That pursuant to Council's policy regarding 5% Parkland Dedication or payment of Money In Lieu, be it resolved that the owner of land proposed for subdivision at 23608, 23618, & 23628 Dewdney Trunk Road under application SD/120/03, pay to the District of Maple Ridge an amount that is not less than $31,250.00. DISCUSSION: Policy 8 of the Official Community Plan states that in order to preserve watercourses, an owner of land being subdivided shall, at the option of Council either: Provide park land or an amount not to exceed 5% of the land being subdivided in a location acceptable to Council; or Pay to the Municipality an amount that equals the market value of up to 5% of the land that may be required for parkiand purposes. Where there is a significant watercourse and the District has the ability to include ravines and watercourse protection areas into the public realm, that area is dedicated Park. These areas provide for large vegetated areas in urban neighbourhoods that provide corridors for wildlife and passive park areas for residents. Where there is either no watercourse or the watercourse is deemed insignificant, 5% of the market value of the land is paid to the District. These funds are placed into a special Parkland Acquisition Reserve Fund, which enables the District to purchase areas deemed important for habitat protection but where the ability to achieve parkland through development is limited, such as the Blaney Bog. In this particular instance there is no watercourse present and it is, therefore, recommended that money in lieu of parkland dedication be provided. In keeping with past practice, the District has requested that an appraisal be provided for the 5% market value of the development site. This appraisal is based on zoned but not serviced land. An opinion from an appraisal firm has stated that the market value of the land is $625,000.00, which indicates that the 5% value of this property is $31,250.00. CONCLUSION: As there are no watercourses on the property it is recommended that Council require money in lieu of parkland dedication as prescribed in the appraisal Prepared by: Gay McMiIlan Planning Technician c_ I Dir Ct Planniipg - Approved p5: ank Quinn / GM P 4 c Wor evelopment Services fl Concurrence:/ J.

They wish to close the east-side of 224 Street from 121 Avenue to the Cenotaph at Memorial Peace Park, from 11:40 AM to 12:00 PM. A copy of the request dated October 8, 2004 and traffic control approval, dated October 12, 2004 is attached. Authorization from Council is required per the "Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic By-law 3 136-1982" to allow the parade to occur in Maple Ridge. - RECOMMENDATION: THAT Royal Canadian Legion - Maple Ridge Branch #88 be authorized to use municipal streets for their Freedom of the District Parade on Sunday, November 7, 2004 between 11:40 AM and 12:00 PM, provided the conditions outlined in Schedule 'A' attached to the staff report dated October 12, 2004 are met. DISCUSSION: (a) Background Context: From time to time the Municipality is requested to allow the use of municipal streets for organized events. Unless there are some unusual safety implications, approval is usually given on condition that the Municipality be indemnified against any liability for injury or damage resulting from the event. The conditions of approval of the event are attached as "Schedule A". The Royal Canadian Legion is requesting permission to close 224 Street, from 121 Avenue to the Cenotaph at Memorial Peace Park, from approximately 11:40 AM to 12:00 PM. Access for vehicles will be detoured during this time period. The parade participants will leave the Legion Hall, located at 12101 224 Street, at 11:40 AM. The parade will then proceed southbound on the east-side of 224 Street to the Cenotaph at Memorial Peace Park. The parade continues to the entrance of Council Chambers (north set of glass doors) at 12:00 PM. Ceremonial presentation of Freedom of the District will take place in Council Chambers. The parade marches to the Arts Centre for official opening of "From Far and Wide" Remembrance Week Displays. Strategic Plan: Permitting of Maple Ridge street events allows the District to manage road infrastructure and associated risks but yet allows events that promote community development, commemorate and celebrate community accomplishments and highlight Maple Ridge's natural and built features. Citizen/Customer Implications: Permission to use streets may cause some delays and inconveniences to other road users. However, traffic control will be provided by the Royal Canadian Legion. In addition, the organizers will be distributing an information letter to affected businesses and residents. Governmental Implications: The Road Use Permit establishes that the parade organizer must obtain the approval of RCMP, for traffic control and must notify the Fire Department and BC Ambulance Services as well as coordinate with Coast Mountain Bus Company (transit service). Business Plan Implications: The Business Plan recognizes that the District processes requests for use of municipal streets as part of its services. The financial impact of the specific road use is limited to staff processing effort. (1) Policy Implications: Permission to use municipal streets is grantable under the District's policy practices. (g) Alternatives: The District could refuse to permit the event to occur at this location. In this event, the organizer may have to cancel the event. CONCLUSIONS: From time to time, the District is requested to allow the use of streets for various events and activities. This is the first Freedom of the District Presentation by the Legion as a presentation prior to the RemembranceDay Parade. The organizers have requested permission to hold the event on District X. streets for 2004.\ Submitted by: 4jthew Wood, MEng., PEng.

Public approval was obtained through the "Alternative Approval Process". The financing has been arranged and the buyout was completed on October 14, 2004. This report provides details of the financing. RECOMMENDATION(S): Receive for information. BACKGROUND: The public authorized borrowings of up to $49.1 million to complete the buyout of the core project. The financing is comprised of two parts: Assumption of existing debt and New Borrowings through the Municipal Financing Authority (MFA). Assumption of existing debt We have assumed existing debt with MCAP with a principal balance of $16,733,400. The interest rate on this debt is 6.548% and the existing term expires November 1, 2006. Monthly payments on this debt amount to $118,036 for an annual debt servicing requirement of $1,416,430. 2. New Borrowings We have borrowed $32.1 million from the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA), details of which follow: - - -i)-- ----We--ha-ye--used-the authority granted under_our_temporary_borrowingbylaw to obtain $32.1 million in financing. This advance is for a 6 month term, with interest at the rate of 2.92% per annum payable upon maturity (estimated at $468,660). No principal payments will be made until maturity. ii) On April 14, 2005, we will be borrowing $32.1 million under our loan authorization bylaw. The proceeds will be used to repay the monies borrowed under the temporary borrowing bylaw. This new loan will be for a 22 year term at an interest rate of 5.75% fixed for the full 22 year amortization period. Annual payments on this loan will be $2,679,404 which is comprised of $1,845,750 in interest (payable in equal semi-annual payments of $922,875) and $833,654 in principal.: In summary, total debt amounts to $48,833,400 with annualized debt servicing requirements of $4,095,834. The payments required to meet our obligations are included in, our Financial Plan. /001 COMMUNITY COMMUNICATION IMPLICATIONS: The financing arrangements are in line with what was conveyed to the public through the assent process. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The financial implications have been discussed under the background section. As well, a portion of additional tax revenues coming into the municipality through 2007 must be channeled towards this project. This means that funding for other initiatives will be tight.

Rule Chief Administrative Officer JLR: sr -2- /b'i2o CORPORATION OF THE MAPLE RIDGE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: Her Worship Mayor Kathy Morse DATE: October 19, 2004 and Members of Council FILE NO: FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Council SUBJECT: Traffic Fine Revenues EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Allocation of traffic fine revenues for 2004 according to the enclosed table is recommended. RECOMMENDATION(S): That the traffic fine revenues be allocated as outlined in the staff report dated October 19, 2004. BACKGROUND: At the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention, the Premier announced the return to communities of 100 per cent of all net traffic fine revenues generated within municipal boundaries. The revenue comes from ticket fines and court-imposed fines on violation tickets based on payments in 2002/2003. Policing costs from 2002 are the basis on which funding is distributed and the amount of money a particular municipality receives will be based on its share of total municipal policing costs. The impact on our 2005 budget will be as follows: Total anticipated fine revenues $650,000 Less existing budget $250,000 Net increase in funds available $400,000 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: It is recommended that the $400,000 increase in funds be allocated as follows: 2005 2006 2007 3 police officers, starting May 1, 2005 $175,000 $300,000 $300,000 Municipal Support to RCMP (Data/Records Mgmt) $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 Bylaw Enforcement Support $ 65,000 $ 65,000 $ 65,000 Community Safety Initiatives including: $ 30,000 $ 30,000 $ 30,000 • Core Security • Building Stronger Neighborhoods Total $370,000 $495,000 $495,000 /001 With these additional revenues, the police officers could start on May 1, 2005 and the Financial Plan has the capacity to absorb the full year impact after 2005. Although this revenue could be used to bring the police officers on stream earlier, the start date of May 1, 2005 is the likely date that the RCMP will actually be able to supply the officers.
