The Mayor confirmed that as the City did not currently have an application for the property questions can be asked by the public. Wesley asked whether the City now knows why it was not involved in the selection of the property. Mayor Read advised on why the City was not involved with the Province on this location. Wesley asked if members of Council felt the public should have been consulted prior to the choice of the Burnett Street location. Mayor Read advised that Council’s position on public consultation has been well documented. Wesley asked whether it is acceptable that a shelter of this type be built in close proximity to schools. Mayor Read advised that she cannot comment on this as no application has come before Council. Wesley asked if the City has information and data about the impact of existing shelters on neighbourhoods. Mayor Read provided information on issues and acknowledged the concerns of citizens. She advised that data from the Salvation Army has been reviewed. Wesley reiterated his question on whether an official study has been done on the immediate impact of shelters on a neighbourhood. Mayor Read advised that this is a question for BC Housing. Council Meeting Minutes January 30, 2018 Page 4 of 18 Riekie Armstrong Ms. Armstrong stated that she understood that the Salvation Army is moving to Burnett Street. She asked for confirmation that the old Salvation Army will remain in the original location to provide services to seniors such as lunches and backpacks and that the new location will have more of a shelter aspect. Mayor Read advised that the City is following up with the Province to obtain more information on these plans. Ms. Armstrong expressed concern that the proposed shelter on Burnett will only be a shelter. Mayor Read advised that the proposed Burnett Street shelter is expected to contain 40 units for shelter and 40 units for supported housing. Ted Ingram Mr. Ingram referred to information shared at a public meeting organized by the Provincial Government pertaining to the proposed Burnett Street Shelter and asked whether Council will be relying on information provided by the Province. He did not feel that statistics provided by the Province on whether persons at Anita Place are residents of Maple Ridge are accurate. He expressed concern with the City relying wholly on information provided by the Province. Mayor Read encouraged Mr. Ingram to look to the homeless count of 2017 for confirmation of the statistics provided by the Province. Mr. Ingram expressed concern with misinformation and asked what an assessment is based on. He stated that the City is dealing with a population that does not want stable housing and asked why the BC Ministry of Health was not represented at the information meeting as the majority of persons requiring shelter also require health care. Mayor Read advised that representatives from Fraser Health attended the information meeting. She addressed concerns with data collection standards and information regarding persons who are homeless. She explained how the City gathered data prior to BC Housing taking over that task. Mr. Ingram felt that information residents are getting about available services are not comparable to what is being heard in the media. He compared programs which meet needs of citizens operated out of St. Paul’s and UBC Hospitals and stated that Maple Ridge does not have such programs. He reiterated his concern with the information being relied on.
