HomeMy WebLinkAbout2003 Citizens ReportMAPLE RIDGE British Columbia, Canada 22 00 00 33 CC II TT II ZZ EE NN ’’SS RR EE PP OO RR TT On behalf of Council, I am pleased to present the 2003 Citizen’s Report for the District of Maple Ridge. This comprehensive overview of Maple Ridge blends necessary financial information with a look at how we are growing and what we have accomplished over the past year. 2003 has been an exciting and productive year. We have completed several components of the Official Community Plan. The balance of the review is scheduled for completion by the end of December 2004, with a draft report going to Council in early 2005. As a Regional Town Centre in the Greater Vancouver Regional District Livable Region Strategy, we have committed to developing our own industrial and commercial tax base in order to provide employmenthere in Maple Ridge. This is essential if we are to reduce the number of people who leave our community to go to work. In this context, the completion of the Official Community Plan review is extremely important. The needs assessments of the Fire Department Master Plan was submitted in December of 2003. We are now starting the financial planning work for this long-term initiative. We are also in the beginning stages of a RCMP Master Plan that will look at the community needs over the long-term and how we will address them. These two initiatives are part of a renewed commitment to public safety as a top priority. Community growth and development are underway with the care and attention necessary to preserve the best of our community for future generations. The stream mapping project is now complete and we are able to provide citizens with a clear picture of setbacks and environmental protection measures that apply to their property. Economic Development staff are now working on a strategy to enhance existing business and to bring new economic initiatives to Maple Ridge. This is a priority for a healthy and secure future. Maple Ridge is a healthy vibrant community whose citizens are actively involved in planning for their future. Comments and participation are always welcome.

Maple Ridge is a vibrant and dynamic community that is one of the fastest growing municipalities in British Columbia. The District is well positioned to be part of the excitement being generated in British Columbia as the province gears up for the 2010 Olympic Games. Maple Ridge provides a wonderful quality of life. Its rural character and small town feeling combine with excellent services and facilities to create a lifestyle that is the envy of many other communities. With 73,000 citizens and growing, Maple Ridge welcomes new residents and businesses almost weekly. The continuing challenge is to manage our rapid growth and at the same time maintain the unique character that is valued so much by our citizens. Maple Ridge is one of eight Regional Town Centres identified in the GVRD “Livable Region Strategic Plan”. Our objective is to create a vibrant commercial downtown hub for the region. Some of the major initiatives to be undertaken in 2004 are: • The start up of an Economic Development Office with the prime objective to diversify and grow the economy in Maple Ridge. • Undertake an Official Community Plan review. • To complete a long term sustainable financial plan to ensure the continued financial health of the District. I would like to express my thanks to the dedicated employees of the District who provide quality services to our residents. We are very fortunate to have such a fine group of individuals who through their efforts, make Maple Ridge a great place to live. J.L.

Literally thousands of Maple Ridge citizens are engaged in a broad range of community organizations. District Council and staff recognize the value of volunteer support and of input on virtually every program within the Municipality. Local services clubs have a long tradition of supporting community projects that enrich the community in the areas of healthcare, education, recreation, environmentalism, tourism, and the arts. These hardworking and generous volunteers donate their time and skills to help make our community stronger, safer, healthier, and more enjoyable. Maple Ridge’s volunteers are active in so many areas of our day to day life, it would be difficult to name them all. It is with great pride that we salute our citizen volunteers who assist us: • Firefighting. • Auxiliary police work. • Emergency services. • Social and community services. • Arts, culture, and festivals. • Recreation and youth. • Parks, beautification. • Environment. • Our heritage. • Neighbourhoods. • Animal welfare. • Office support and management for non-profit groups. • Technical and policy advice to the District. 44 CCiittiizzeennss MMaakkee IItt HHaappppeenn “I’ve worked with people all my life and now that I’m retired, leading the Walking Club keeps me active and provides an opportunity to meet people and socialize.” AAnnnnee SShheekk,, RRMMSSSS VVoolluunntteeeerr “I am preparing for a career and I volunteer to develop new skills, gain references, build up my resume, and make new contacts.” MMiicchhaaeell LLaauu,, OOffffiiccee VVoolluunntteeeerr “I enjoy meeting clients and working out in the weight room with them.

In reviewing the list of accomplishments and highlights for 2003, the Commission and staff worked through many changes. The Parks & Leisure Services Commission and Citizens' Advisory Committee merged to form one committee, which will streamline the decision-making process and make it easier for community organizations to communicate directly with the Commission. Another significant highlight was the implementation of the Recreg4u Online Registration system, intended to streamline citizen access to program opportunities. RReeccrreeaattiioonn The Recreation Department provides recreational opportunities for both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows citizens. Programs and facilities include aquatics, fitness, arts, health related drop-in programs, skating, youth outreach initiatives, outdoor recreation opportunities, and special events. In 2003 the Recreation Department and its various partners provided 2,197 programs to 16,147 participants and recorded 137,088 people at numerous special events. The Leisure Centre experienced its busiest year ever recording over 317,607 admissions (a 15% increase from the previous year, which was the previous high). Paid admissions at the Pitt Meadows Family Recreation Centre reached 33,637 (an increase of 706 over 2002). The Santa Parade with Christmas in Memorial Park completed the year's festivals with 8,000 people enjoying a very special atmosphere. Participation rates continue to grow in the Greg Moore Youth Centre, as do the number of community partners accessing the facility. The new 43,000 sq. ft. Arts Centre and Theatre opened in May which will ensure a more complete range of cultural opportunities for area residents. PPaarrkkss && FFaacciilliittiieess The Parks Department maintains a total of 223 hectares of parkland including seasonal displays throughout Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. The department also maintains landscaped boulevards, park sites, playgrounds, soccer fields, ball diamonds, major trail systems, tennis & sport courts, and administers the lease for the Maple Ridge Golf Course. For the second year in a row, Maple Ridge achieved a 5-Bloom rating in the Communities in Bloom National Competition and was awarded a special mention for our Landscaped Areas. Some of the many projects completed in 2003 include: • Installation of 1,300 feet of new LED Christmas lights (Municipal Christmas tree, the Bandstand and Leisure Center). • Installation of a washroom facility and several picnic tables at Crosses Cabins Park. • Installation of new sport field lighting at Eric Langton School. • Installed new safety netting and added light shields at Albion Sports Complex. • Installed new picnic tables at Lions Fun Park (sponsored by Pitt Meadows Lions Club). • Planned a new Artificial Turf Field at the Samuel Robertson Secondary School. • Completed Energy Conservation feasibility studies for the Leisure Center, City Hall, RCMP and three Fire Halls. • Carried out an Energy Conservation Project at the Operations Centre and the buildings were refurbished and painted (exterior). • Upgraded the Greg Moore Youth Center security camera system. • Installed a new metal roof for Whonnock Lake Hall. 55 CCoommmmuunniittyy DDeevveellooppmmeenntt,, PPaarrkkss &&RReeccrreeaattiioonn SSeerrvviicceess EEmmeerrggeennccyy PPrreeppaarreeddnneessss In 2003 the Justice Institute of BC provided training to members of the EOC in Planning, Operations and Logistics - the key areas in Emergency Management. Training was provided to the Mayor, Council and School District Trustees on their roles and responsibilities in the event of an emergency or disaster. Incident Command level 1 was presented to 22 outside workers to introduce them to the Emergency Program - Incident Command System along with personal and family preparedness in the event of an emergency. ESS conducted a functional exercise involving the opening of a Reception Centre following a mock train derailment. This gave the ESS Volunteers an opportunity to open a Reception Centre and register evacuees similar to a real disaster (47 volunteers attended). During the summer, six ESS members volunteered at the Red Cross registering evacuees from the interior fires and two volunteers were sent to Kamloops to assist with ESS. The ESS Personal Disaster Assistance program responded to five calls due to house fires in Maple Ridge. Public Presentations on personal preparedness and the Neighbourhood Program were presented upon request to 245 residents of Maple Ridge. 66 77 “We are a customer service centered organization and I am proud of the job that our people do in serving internal and external clients.” —Paul Gill, General Manager 2003 was a very productive year for Corporate & Financial Services. We took on a number of major projects that are discussed below while maintaining our commitment to quality customer service. FFiinnaannccee 2003 was a challenging year for the Finance Department as we experienced several unplanned staffing shortages. Difficult times often have groups come together and this is certainly the case with the Finance Department. Staff rose to the challenge and met or exceeded commitments in all areas. The external audit of our 2002 financial statements produced a “clean” opinion. We developed detailed financial models for the Core Negotiating Team to assist them in their efforts. Also, many staff members serve as financial representatives to operating departments. Last year, this assistance involved helping line managers analyze their financial performance. This year, we expanded that assistance to include financial planning matters. This ground work resulted in a very smooth Business Planning process that met the direction that Council had set. Once again, the Department was the recipient of two significant awards: The Canadian Award for Financial Reporting (CAnFR) and the Outstanding Performance and Achievement Award. CCoommmmuunniiccaattiioonnss && HHuummaann RReessoouurrcceess In 2003, the organization showed great confidence in the Human Resources Department by expanding its role to include Corporate communications. Responsibilities were realigned – duties of existing staff were changed and two people transferred in from other departments. An aggressive workplan has been developed for 2004, which respects Council’s commitment to keep the public informed of matters of interest to them. We have a positive labour climate and this allowed us to conclude bargaining with a multi-year agreement. We also spent considerable time analyzing our training needs and developing a training program to meet those needs. IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn SSeerrvviicceess The information technology needs of our organization have increased exponentially over the last several years. We continue to maintain and improve existing capabilities, as well as further new projects and initiatives. To help manage workloads, we implemented a help desk request tracking system, which allows our clients to monitor the status of their requests for service. In 2003, the Department undertook a comprehensive review of its services. As a result we are currently reviewing service levels, with a view towards entering into agreements with our clients which will outline expectations & commitments. New business systems projects begun or implemented last year include the use of the Amanda system for business licences, bylaw management and action requests. Also, Internet based recreation registration, a volunteer management program and public access Internet kiosks were implemented. We made significant progress in watercourse inventory mapping, assisted with audio-visual upgrades to our Council Chambers and implemented a SPAM filtering system on our email system. CClleerrkkss The Clerks Department works with Council to make sure that Municipal business is done in an open & transparent manner. Council meeting agendas & minutes are available in a timely manner and we make expansive use of our website. Our switchboard provides exemplary customer service and serves as the place where citizens can turn to in order to find the services that they require. We also look after the property assets of the Municipality and were successful in entering into an agreement to sell our lands on Industrial Avenue.

OOppeerraattiioonnss The Operations Department is responsible for the management and maintenance of Municipal infrastructure and provides services fundamental to the health, safety and convenience of our rapidly growing population, in a manner that is responsive, economical, and environmentally responsible. This includes providing 24-hour-a-day emergency response to residents. In 2003 Operations maintained and/or accomplished: Chipping Program 1,699 pickups Crosswalks 251 Fire Hydrants 1,626 Ornamental Street Lights 2,171 Overhead Lights 1,224 Paved Roadway 416 km Pieces of Equipment 185 Sanitary Sewer Connections 14,671 Sanitary Sewer Main 225 km Storm Sewer Connections 12,550 Storm Sewer Main 216 km Traffic Lane Marking 265 km Water Connections 17,100 Water Main 340 km Watermain Replacement 2.4 km Water Purchase 12,100,000 m3 Water Samples Tested 975 1100 22003 has been both a rewarding and challenging year. Police have worked in partnership on our “homeless” issue, with involvement in town hall meetings and working with our Bylaw Department, Salvation Army, our residents and businesses for both immediate and long-term solutions to this social problem. Of note, there were 367 Mental Health issue calls for police last year, which is more than double the number of such calls in Year 2000. Our Detachment has identified property crime as a priority and a focus of our membership. Property crime includes such offences as break & entry and thefts of vehicles, which both show a reduction in statistics in 2003. In 2003 there were 1,342 break & enters and in 2002 there were 1,071. In 2003 there were 1,064 thefts of vehicles and in 2002 there were 984. Given the external factors that impact these crimes, along with the increase in population, we have made significant strides at reducing these types of crimes within our community. We continue to be one of the leaders in the Lower Mainland in charging impaired drivers – 181 charges in 2003. Our commitment to focussing on making our roads safer is making a difference. We are on target with the RCMP’s national 2010 Traffic Safety initiatives to reduce crashes by 30% by 2010. We work closely with the District of Maple Ridge and ICBC on “Safer Cities” initiatives. Our School Liaison program has gained notice from other provinces who would like to emulate the structure and initiatives we currently have in place. The RCMP Youth Academy and Youth Hockey Camp are good examples of the proactive work our members are providing the community. We also work closely with the School District in an effort to reduce the impact of vandalism through a joint Anti Vandalism program. Many of our RCMP programs are supported by a network of community volunteers. We currently have over 200 volunteers working in a variety of RCMP and partnership programs with ICBC. Grow operations continue to be a significant concern, along with meth-amphetamine or crystal meth laboratories. In response to these issues we have internally restructured to create an investigative team who can both respond to and deal with this pressure.

OOppeerraattiioonnss The Operations Department is responsible for the management and maintenance of Municipal infrastructure and provides services fundamental to the health, safety and convenience of our rapidly growing population, in a manner that is responsive, economical, and environmentally responsible. This includes providing 24-hour-a-day emergency response to residents.

Ninety-five dedicated paid-on-call firefighters and six full-time officers provide this service. The new Fire Department management software system was installed and training sessions were provided. The Personnel, Incident, Training, Properties, and Permit modules have been developed. The Master Planning Committee presented a draft of the Fire Department Master Plan to Council at an open Council/Staff workshop in December. The Committee examined current core services as well as response levels and explored core service recommendations and response levels from outside agencies in order to prepare a service level gap analysis. Changes were made to the existing Fireworks Vendor Permit restricting the sale and use of bottle rockets, screechers, and roman candles. The Fireworks Vendors Permit fee will increase in 2004 and the sale of fireworks will be restricted to permanent structures only. Maple Ridge Council adopted a comprehensive Fire Sprinkler Bylaw that requires new homes to be equipped with a basic fire suppression system, designed to stop an accidental fire from becoming a life-threatening event. This life safety initiative will ensure the District continues to develop into a Fire Safe Community. The tender was awarded for the construction of Squad 3, which arrived at Fire Hall #3 in September. EEmmeerrggeennccyy OOppeerraattiioonnss // TTrraaiinniinngg In 2003 the Fire Department responded to 1,595 calls for assistance which amounted to 21,374 firefighter hours. Regular training practices held on Monday evenings and Friday mornings totaled 3,262 firefighter hours. An additional 3,598 hours were logged for special training, instructors, public education, etc. The commitment for a firefighter at Fire Hall #1 is an average of 535 hours per year. The Department provided services to the Interior when the Province declared a state of emergency due to the forest fires. Crews rotated for 34 days totaling over 8,000 man hours. Thirteen recruits successfully completed training in the spring and are now responding to emergencies. Another 13 recruits were selected in the fall to begin training in 2004. Thirty students from participating fire departments (five from Maple Ridge) are enrolled in the 2003/2004 Fire Officer Program. PPuubblliicc EEdduuccaattiioonn Eight students graduated from the Junior Firefighters Youth Academy in June. In additional to the Junior Firefighters program curriculum, the students initiated a community project to raise awareness of poorly visible addressing on homes and businesses.Ten students were selected for the 2003-2004 Junior Firefighters Youth Academy. The Charities Committee organized a "Head Shave for Cancer" ($23,000); the 2nd annual car wash for the Burn Unit of Children's Hospital ($4,120) ; a Boot Drive for Muscular Dystrophy ($3,580) and a Food Drive (10,000 pounds of food and $13,700). The Hot Summer Nights program and the Safety Smart Card program, in partnership with the local McDonald's Restaurants and the RCMP Community Policing Team, both continued to be successful during the summer of 2003. Fire Hall Open House was held during Fire Prevention Week along with the smoke alarm awareness program in partner- ship with Panago Pizza. The Community Safety Star Awards were handed out at a regular Council meeting. FFiirree PPrreevveennttiioonn Fire Prevention developed a training program on Alarm Systems to increase the knowledge of the Company Officers and Firefighters in fire safety systems within buildings around the community. The Fire Prevention Officers are attending weekly development meetings to ensure Fire Department issues are brought forward at the development stage.

The Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Annual Financial Reporting is a prestigious international award recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state/provincial and local government popular reports. In order to receive an Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Annual Financial Reporting, a government unit must publish a Popular Annual Financial Report, whose contents conform to program standards of creativity, presentation, understandability, and reader appeal. An Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Annual Financial Reporting is valid for a period of one year only. The Municipality of Maple Ridge has received a Popular Award for the seventh consecutive year and is very fortunate to be only one of two municipalities in Canada awarded a PAFR for 2002.
