In doing so, council requested a number <strong>of</strong> revisions to the proclamation.The UBC letter and proclamation included references to Black History Month. Itappears that these references may have created some confusion about therelationship between Africa Awareness Month and Black History Month. In realitythey are quite separate topics.As a result, it is staff's suggestion that both proclamations be adopted by council,as submitted by UBC and the Centre <strong>of</strong> Integration for African Immigrants.\ <strong>2010</strong> \ 01<strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> \proclamations.docPage 1 <strong>of</strong> 1

We are requesting municipalities across the LowerMainland to <strong>of</strong>ficially declare February <strong>2010</strong> as Black History Month. (Please seeenclosed sample Proclamations.)In December 1995, the Parliament <strong>of</strong> Canada <strong>of</strong>ficially recognized February as BlackHistory Month. This came as a result <strong>of</strong> a motion introduced by Jean Augustine,P.C., M.P., the first African Canadian woman elected to Parliament.Since then, Black History Month has been celebrated in communities all acrossCanada. In BC this month-long celebration coincides with the winter Olympics, tohighlight the contributions made by Blacks in sports, and also the historical growth <strong>of</strong>Canada. The Lower Mainland is home to over 80,000 Blacks and this numbercontinues to increase annually. We are hoping that through this municipaldeclaration, people within your community will seek ways to celebrate Black HistoryMonthOn behalf <strong>of</strong> the Black community, we thank you for your participation in recognizingthis important cultural and historical occasion.

This report will outline activities <strong>of</strong> the Social Development Commission andrelated working groups from June 2009 to the present as well as clarify the ways in which the SocialDevelopment Commission is transitioning and my goals and vision to advance the program forward in<strong>2010</strong>.Beginning in <strong>2010</strong>, I will provide Council with quarterly reports on the Social Development program.This will provide consistent communication and enable Council to keep updated with the program.New membershipTwelve members were initially appointed to the Social Development Commission in 2006. Six <strong>of</strong> thesemembers have either stepped down or been replaced due to their lack <strong>of</strong> availability to adequatelyparticipate at the Commission level. These six members have been replaced along with two new youthrepresentatives. Additional members <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Mission</strong> community have demonstrated interest in joining theSocial Development Commission, thus expanding our membership is a future topic <strong>of</strong> debate.Membership will be reviewed annually and diversifying membership will remain top priority when-inviting new members-to-join-the-Commission.World Youth in <strong>Mission</strong>Canada World Youth is an educational youth exchange program that will be in <strong>Mission</strong> December 2009 -March <strong>2010</strong>.

16<strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> Website — Social Development site upgradeOne <strong>of</strong> my personal program goals for <strong>2010</strong> is the updating and redesign <strong>of</strong> the social developmentwebpage on the <strong>District</strong> site. Currently, there is a link to the plan without any updated information. As .apart <strong>of</strong> celebrating the accomplishments and progress <strong>of</strong> the plan, I intend to showcase each workinggroup, their successes and current projects. Webpage development will focus on making SocialDevelopment more accessible to the public, including pictures <strong>of</strong> events, participant testimonials and theposting <strong>of</strong> meeting dates, times and locations. Suggestions for future development <strong>of</strong> the site couldincorporate online surveys to gather feedback from the communityAdditionally, it has been brought to my attention by MFAN (<strong>Mission</strong> Food Access Network) thatcommunity food sustainability, nutrition and food security are not mentioned anywhere in the SocialDevelopment Plan and should be incorporated into the ideals <strong>of</strong> health and wellness. Thus, revisions willmost likely include the previously non included area <strong>of</strong> food security and sustainability. Over time, Iintend to incorporate into the plan an overarching theme <strong>of</strong> sustainability <strong>of</strong> which it currently does notpossess.Faith and CommunityFaith communities and religious-based organizations are major resources for building community, andaddressing social and systemic issues.In <strong>2010</strong> I will be asking faith leaders in our community to share how their religious organizations discussissues and decide on actions in relation to the well-being <strong>of</strong> the community. It is apparent that we need toincrease the dialogue between different religious groups, agencies and organizations. As all faiths differ, itis important to learn both multicultural sensitivity and appropriate steps to take , when wishing to engagewith the faith community. In a meeting with St. Andrew's Church in November, I learned that manychurches are only communicating with and receiving updates from a small number <strong>of</strong> communityorganizations. Thus in <strong>2010</strong>, I will be arranging meetings with church leaders to discuss the networking <strong>of</strong>community events and how best to coordinate congregational participation. Additionally, as a growingsegment <strong>of</strong> congregation members are aging, this approach would target two populations, faith groups andseniors.Community CanoeIn partnership with Parks Recreation and Culture, I am drafting a contract for the community canoe to beavailable for rental this upcoming spring/summer <strong>2010</strong>.Bookings will occur through the same format as the public stage and under the coordination <strong>of</strong>recreational staff.Community SchoolsAligwatliTr,c—Diaiii's Vision 2020'. -Adaptive—Sclakifs Enabling Student Success -Report, amomentum is building to re-establish the community schools working group. Community education is anopportunity for local citizens and community schools, agencies and institutions to become active partnersin addressing education and community concerns.The Association for Community Education in British Columbia states that the community educationPage 5 <strong>of</strong> 11


17process brings community members together to identify and link community needs and resources in amanner that helps people to raise the quality <strong>of</strong> life in their communities. Overall, it is an educationalphilosophy which embraces the. belief that education is a lifelong process. Community schools in B.C. areelementary or secondary schools with a special emphasis on the belief held by residents and staff in thevalue <strong>of</strong> community involvement and integration.A community school takes one <strong>of</strong> the largest and most under utilized public facilities, the public school,and increases the investment by keeping it open during evenings, weekends, and during the summer forcommunity activities. It is in this way that community development is promoted. I expect the report backevent to clarify direction for this group as well as determine group membership. I was informed throughdiscussions with Abbotsford Community Schools that there are families in <strong>Mission</strong> whose children areenrolled in Abbotsford community schools simply because <strong>Mission</strong> does not currently <strong>of</strong>fer this approach.Thus, this working group is interested in dialogue around utilizing the community schools approach tostrengthen neighborhood connections.Leq'a:mel First Nations ConferenceA conference focusing on Residential School trauma and renewing relationships will be held at Leq'a:melFirst Nations community hall <strong>January</strong> 19-21 st <strong>2010</strong>. I intend to go to this conference representing both the<strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> as well as the Social Development Program. It is through these opportunities that Ibelieve we can begin to make the connections and gain the trust <strong>of</strong> partnerships with First Nationscommunities.Section 3: Social Development Working Group UpdatesThe term sub-committees has been replaced with the term working groups to better reflect the nature <strong>of</strong>these groupS.OutreachThe purpose <strong>of</strong> this committee is to improve access to programs and services by relocating existingservices and developing new services based on neighborhood needs.The Outreach working group welcomed a new Chair in November 2009. Jacquelyn Jeanne is a communitymember passionately involved in community development. In addition to welcoming our new chair, thegroup along with the literacy bus sub-committee is celebrating the mobility <strong>of</strong> the literacy bus andwelcomes new driver George Anthony who will begin his position in the New Year. George is a long time<strong>Mission</strong> resident and currently works as a spare driver for <strong>Mission</strong> Public Schools.With renovations complete, the literacy bus (a standard full size renovated school bus) will provide mobile__outreach services within rural areas in <strong>Mission</strong> and <strong>of</strong>fer multiple resources. Additionally, a book lendingand informational resource program will be <strong>of</strong>fered out <strong>of</strong> the bus. Transportation continues to be a barrierto much <strong>of</strong> the rural population in <strong>Mission</strong>, resulting in many children and youth being unable toparticipate in recreational, library, sport or after school planning. The literacy bus will assist in thechallenge <strong>of</strong> transportation by bringing integral resources to vulnerable families in these rural <strong>Mission</strong>areas.Page 6 <strong>of</strong> 11


<strong>18</strong>Additionally, the Early Development Instrument Scores (EDI scores) for <strong>Mission</strong> shows a vulnerabilityindex for children age 5 higher than the provincial average in most categories. Thus, the Literacy bus is acommunity development initiative to implement positive change. A needs assessment will be undertakenwith bus participants to determine specific areas <strong>of</strong> community intervention in <strong>January</strong> and February <strong>2010</strong>.40 Developmental AssetsThe purpose <strong>of</strong> this working group is to initiate the implementation <strong>of</strong> the Search Institute's 40Developmental Assets throughout the community. Additionally, this working group is involved in anyissues relatedto youth. Currently Constable Sharon Siluch Chairs this working group with a youth cochairMs. Samantha Reeves.This working group celebrated the launch <strong>of</strong> youth website Moltspace www.moltspace.ca in September2009. This website developed from feedback from youth regarding a lack <strong>of</strong> resources aimed at youth.Thus, the creation <strong>of</strong> moltspace developed as a website created for youth by youth. As with the electronicresource bureau website, the launch is the start <strong>of</strong> a project this group hopes to see flourish in the years tocome. High school students will be able to access information about Post-Secondary scholarships,community events and volunteer resources among others.Currently, this working group has partnered with Fraser House Society to assist in the coordination <strong>of</strong>Challenge Day for <strong>Mission</strong> youth. The Challenge Day mission is to provide youth and their communitieswith experiential programs that demonstrate the possibility <strong>of</strong> love and connection through the celebration<strong>of</strong> diversity, truth and full expression. Since 1987, Challenge Day has served more than 1 million youth in400 cities, 45 U.S. States and five provinces in Canada.This 6.5 hour program is designed for 100 students per session. The program aims to create and buildconnection and empathy and serve as the foundation that ignites a movement in compassion and positivechange. Fraser House is committed to seeing this workshop come to <strong>Mission</strong>, thus the 40 assets workinggroup is currently strategizing a fundraising plan in partnership with Fraser House and the community.40 Developmental Assets Follow UpThe 40 Developmental Assets Group is engaged in dialogue around implementing the assets survey resultswithin the community. One goal for <strong>2010</strong> in relation to the Literacy bus is to coordinate bus visits to lowincome housing complexes. One Housing complex "<strong>Mission</strong> Heights" has come to the attention <strong>of</strong> the 40Developmental Assets working group for assistance. The youth living in this complex are considered highrisk and most families in the complex are low income single parents. I have had meetings with both the onand <strong>of</strong>f site managers for this complex around utilizing the literacy bus for mobile outreach. This issomething Lplanio developlurtherin 20111Asset building in a community is an ongoing process. True asset building begins before birth equippingnew parents with integral skills and continues until young people become independent adults. In thiscontext, <strong>Mission</strong> has already begun to work towards implementing the assets in our community throughthe development <strong>of</strong> partnerships towards a common goal. As you strengthen relationships within andPage 7 <strong>of</strong> 11


19between these spheres <strong>of</strong> influence across the community, you work towards building a web <strong>of</strong>interconnected efforts that support one another. Sustainable success results from interconnectingcommunity members in all settings where adults and youth intersect.The 40 Developmental assets working group is creating a positive vision which can energize a communityfor the long term. The vision for <strong>Mission</strong> focuses on encouraging organizations and institutions tointegrate asset building into their own mission and commitments. Asset building is a long-term vision, nota quick fix; however it is important to celebrate successes along the way to renew energy and refocuscommitment. One elementary school in Surrey making a shift to a more community oriented school istaking the assets and incorporating them into the curriculum. Perhaps this is a model we can adopt infuture years.Town SquaresThe purpose <strong>of</strong> this sub-committee is to identify and facilitate the creation <strong>of</strong> town squares throughout<strong>Mission</strong>. The goal is to establish public meeting spaces and places and enable citizens to meet, socializeand feel like part <strong>of</strong> their community.The town squares working group broke ground on the rain garden project in October 2009 at the corner <strong>of</strong>7th Avenue and Grand street. The goal <strong>of</strong> the Rain Garden is to add bio-diversity to the neighborhoodthrough an interactive demonstration <strong>of</strong> rain-water management as a self-sustaining environmental pilotproject. It will be an innovative educational 'green' experience, and an accessible social interactive space.Over $25,000 was raised for this project through donations, materials and volunteer time. This group hasworked diligently to make this project a reality.HousingThe purpose <strong>of</strong> the Housing Committee is to advocate and establish for a wide variety <strong>of</strong> housing optionsthroughout <strong>Mission</strong> to meet the needs <strong>of</strong> its residents.The housing working group is actively involved in consultation workshops with Planning through SharonFletcher and Dayle Reti. The diversity and housing experience <strong>of</strong> this working group has been greatlyinformative and beneficial to this process. The group is actively engaged in establishing guidingprinciples, definitions and vision statements to contribute to the development <strong>of</strong> practical solutions for anaffordable housing strategy.Currently, this group is measuring and assessing housing need in the community. This is timely with thedevelopment <strong>of</strong> an FVRD needs assessment which will be helpful in providing us with some backgroundstatistics and information.Our neighboring communities in the FVRD are also in varying stages <strong>of</strong> developing affordable housingplans for their communities. I coordinated a FVRD Social Planners Meeting which was held on September23, 2009 to discuss the current needs assessment for the Fraser Valley. This event was followed uprecently and expanded upon in a Regional workshop held December 11, 2009 entitled "A progress reporton municipal responses to the need for affordable housing and a look at some new strategies that getPage 8 <strong>of</strong> 11


20results". Michael Geller, Architect and Developer led an afternoon workshop entitled "10 Ways toAffordable Housing: proven and promising municipal and architectural practices". This was a verysuccessful workshop that succeeded in building momentum and partnerships for the Fraser Valley.OutreachThe purpose <strong>of</strong> this committee is to improve access to programs and services by relocating existingservices and developing new services based on neighborhood needs.The Outreach working group welcomed a new Chair in November 2009. Jacquelyn Jeanne is a communitymember passionately invoNed in community development. In addition to welcoming our new chair, thegroup along with the literacy bus sub-committee is celebrating the mobility <strong>of</strong> the literacy bus andwelcomes new driver George Anthony who will begin his position in the New Year.

A needs assessment will, be undertaken with bus participants to determine specific areas <strong>of</strong>community intervention in <strong>January</strong> and February <strong>2010</strong>.Central Resource BureauThe Central Resource Bureau has completed its goal <strong>of</strong> developing the www.infomission.ca websitewhich enjoyed a public launching event November 17, 2009 at the Public Library. Margaret Hardy whowas initially contracted with the <strong>District</strong> to see this project through to the launch phase has completed herfinal report and contract responsibilities. Although the website is stable for the next two years with<strong>District</strong> financial support, emphasis within the newly formed interagency alliance group will focus on thefuture sustainability for the website. Additionally, an active inquiry into the future direction anddevelopment for the website will continue among partners.SPrtionIllieviewInitial planning sessions for the Social Development Plan established 11 priority areas. Learning's fromthis process have concluded that 11 priority areas under a staff <strong>of</strong> one individual and five active workinggroups exceed what can be realistically accomplished. This finding will be discussed at the report backevent. In community development work, I believe it is not a question <strong>of</strong> quantity but rather one <strong>of</strong> quality.Page 9 <strong>of</strong> 11


21Thus, revisions to the plan in <strong>2010</strong> will incorporate outcomes <strong>of</strong> the <strong>2010</strong> Report Back Event and usethese outcomes as guiding principles. Community development work is not a static process but rather aconstantly adapting and flexible process to the community as it transitions and grows.Additionally, a consistent finding and frustration among working groups is the lack <strong>of</strong> facilitation skillsfor individual working groups. As these groups consist <strong>of</strong> citizens, few people possess the managementskills required for effectively mobilizing a group <strong>of</strong> people towards a common goal. One future strategycould be to provide annual basic facilitator's training for the Chairs <strong>of</strong> working groups with theexpectation <strong>of</strong> a one year commitment to Chair a working group. This presents a situation benefiting bothparties as facilitation training adds to a resume and the group benefits from effective leadership andtherefore increased capacity.As part <strong>of</strong> my position with the <strong>District</strong>, I have been evaluating how the Social Development Program canbest serve the community. In the past 11 months my work can be categorized into four main hubs:1. Community engagement and relationship building (includingeducation and awareness)2. WOrking group facilitation (both under the SDC and communitybased)3. Social Development Commission facilitation and coordination4. Liaison to Planning for relevant community projects and issuesThe social factors within a community do not work in isolation but rather affect all aspects <strong>of</strong> community.With the original Social Development Plan as a framework, I see my role as entering in phase 2 toimplement the plan to the best <strong>of</strong> current capacity and to uncover what is realistic, practical andachievable, thus evaluating this on an annual basis.As with all communities, <strong>Mission</strong> faces many challenges; however, I am energized in the belief thatthrough Council's forward thinking approach and directive for a social development plan, we are on apositive path to embracing change and maximizing our potential as a community.Thank you,Kirsten HargreavesManager <strong>of</strong> Social DevelopmentPage 10 <strong>of</strong> 11

Original budget $105,096 which included a $10,000 Provincial Government Infrastructure Grant.With $47,483 being expended in 2009 plus $49,900 in 2008; for a total <strong>of</strong> $97,383 over the firsttwo years <strong>of</strong> the program.2. The type <strong>of</strong> leak detection equipment purchased is acoustic, which is a modern computer-basedinstrument that has a simple field setup and works by measuring leak signals (sound or vibration)at two points that bracket a suspected leak. The position <strong>of</strong> the leak is then determinedautomatically based on the time shift between the leak signals. Prior to excavation the location isconfirm by use <strong>of</strong> a powerful ground microphone. All excavations have found a leak; no dry holedug.3. Leak detection survey work was carried out on 43 Km <strong>of</strong> water main in 2009 plus 9 Km in 2008 fora total <strong>of</strong> 52 Km in over the first two year. The <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> has approximately 170kilometers <strong>of</strong> water main; therefore approximately 30% has now been surveyed.4. The survey work in 2009 found 7 leaks compared with 6 in 2008; all have been repaired. The totalannual estimated water saving is 35,740 cubic meters in 2009 with a further 13,140 cubic metersin 2008 for a total <strong>of</strong> 48,880 cubic meters. A copy <strong>of</strong> the summary <strong>of</strong> located leaks for 2009 is alsoattached.A copy <strong>of</strong> the 2008 report is also attached for reference.BackgroundThe Drought Management and Water Conservation Study completed in February 2006 for theAbbotsford/<strong>Mission</strong> Water & Sewer Commission, states "the given statistics suggest that leakage/UFW(UFW - unaccounted for water loss) is much higher in <strong>Mission</strong> than in Abbotsford, likely over 25%". Aspart <strong>of</strong> the reports many recommendations, number 48 states:"Similarly, water losses cannot be directly calculated. The given statistics, however, suggests that leakageand losses are much higher in <strong>Mission</strong> than in Abbotsford, likely over 25%. This could be quantified byfurther analysis, but an -implied conclusion is-that-accelerated -leak detection should be considered".It is noted that UFW is normally around 10 - 15 % in typical municipal water systems accounting for watermain flushing, fire flows and leakage. Based on the concerns raised in the report the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>chose to undertake a leak detection program and sought grant assistance from the ProvincialGovernment, which was approved in 2008.Page 1 <strong>of</strong> 2


23<strong>2010</strong>The survey work will continue in <strong>2010</strong> and beyond under funding established in the water operationsaccount as the existing funding in the water capital program is almost exhausted; $75,000 has beenbudgeted for each <strong>of</strong> the next 5 years. Assuming continued good progress at completing the leak surveywork <strong>of</strong> the water system, it is reasonable to expect that we will be completed the initial survey by 2012 or2013. Once the survey <strong>of</strong> the entire system is completed it would be appropriate to start again where westarted in 2008. Leak detection programs recommend that a survey <strong>of</strong> a water main be completed atleast once every 5 years because leaks are continually developing.ProjectionsBased on the information collected in 2009 and 2008 (note a little less then one third <strong>of</strong> the system hasbeen surveyed) the following projections have been prepared:a. The total annual water saving appear now to be in the order <strong>of</strong> (48,880 cubic meters/30%)160,000 cubic meters or 0.5 mega liter per day.b. As a portion <strong>of</strong> our current average daily flow which is approximately 19 mega liters per day thatwould represent a 2.5% reduction.c. Based on a total system (combined Abbotsford and <strong>Mission</strong>) average daily flow <strong>of</strong> 80 mega litersper day the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> portion <strong>of</strong> the overall operating cost could be reduced by 0.65%.CC Director <strong>of</strong> Engineering and Public WorksCC Director <strong>of</strong> FinanceFile g:pworks/greg/2009/Memo Leak Detection Status Report 2009 Year End.doc

<strong>Mission</strong>ON THE ERASEREngineering and Public WorksMemorandum28To: Chief Administrative OfficerFrom: Director <strong>of</strong> Engineering and Public WorksDate: <strong>January</strong> 14, <strong>2010</strong>Subject: Transit & Overflow parking for WCE Users during OlympicsDuring the upcoming Olympics vehicle access at and around venues will be limited and peopleare being encouraged, through free transit passes for Olympic Ticket holders and volunteers, touse transit and the West Coast Express (WCE). As the Olympics are nearing there is someconcern about limited parking for people using the WCE in <strong>Mission</strong> to get to events. MetroVancouver staff has been coordinating with municipalities that have WCE stations to see whereadditional parking could be accommodated.This is to confirm that the gravel lot south <strong>of</strong> the West Coast Express parking lot betweenMershon St and Durieu St will be made available as overflow parking during the Olympics thisFebruary and March. The lot is currently barricaded at both ends to stop semi-trailers fromparking there and tracking mud out onto the road. Staff will be grading the area in the next fewweeks to improve drainage and provide decent parking for vehicles on a temporary basis.In the event more parking is needed the area north <strong>of</strong> Liquidation World could also be madeavailable. This will be monitored during the events. Some minor signage will also be needed todirect people to the parking areas.The alternative to this would be to let people find roadside parking on there own. This couldwork but could also prove a problem for local businesses in the downtown and industrial area.The cost for signage and grading is relatively minor so it was felt prudent to complete this usinggeneral maintenance funds in order to avoid reacting to problems later.TransitThe attached e-mail memo has been sent out to the Transit Committee for approval. If approvedthere will also be free transit for Olympic Event ticket holders and volunteers on the local transitsystem.Rick Bornh<strong>of</strong>FILE: [CLICK HERE TO TYPE EFS FILE CATEGORY] PAGE 1 OF 1[Click here to type EFS File Folder Name]

This includes the Westcoast Express service. Translink has askedif we will be doing the same.As the next MATC meeting is not until Jan 28th and Olympics starting on Feb 12th the committee chair Mayor JamesAtebe asked that this be sent out by e-mail to the MATC committee members for early approval prior to the Jan 28thmeeting. Early approval is requested so it can be adequately advertised and promoted if approved.It is recommended that transit on the <strong>Mission</strong> Abbotsford Transit system be provided free during the Olympics andParalympics period (Feb 12 - 28, <strong>2010</strong> and March 12 - 21, <strong>2010</strong>) to Olympic/Paralympic event ticket holders and VANOCvolunteers for the following reasons:• It is an excellent good will gesture to the public• It provides a good opportunity to promote transit to people that may not otherwise have used transit (couldinfluence them to consider it in the future)• As confirmed by BC Transit it will have minimal cost impact since the non-transit users who have Olympictickets or volunteers would not have used transit were it not for the Olympics; and for transit users it is likelythat a good percentage <strong>of</strong> those buy monthly passes which they would continue to need for the month <strong>of</strong>February and March for their regular day to day activities outside the Olympics.• It's a once in a lifetime event in this area.It is also recommended that staff prepare a press release to inform the public and advertise the service in the respectiveCity Pages and websites.1

01/11/<strong>2010</strong> 14:06 6048264319 MMSI WARDEN PAGE 04/0853DEFINITIONSBAILBail is an option for the courts or police to consider, in some cases, where an <strong>of</strong>fender may be able to be released onconditions, rather than being detained in custody prior to court appearance. Bail is also known as Judicial Interim Release.TEMPORARY ABSENCES AND DAY PAROLETemporary Absences (TM) and Day Paroles allow the temporary release <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenders from institutions in order to accessprograms and services available in the community. All provinceseerritories operate TA programs, and TM may be grantedfor personal development, medical, compassionate, employment, administrative, parental or family-related reasons. Inmost cases, TA's are utilized for pre-parole preparation and planning,TA's are either escorted (ETAs) or unescorted (UTAs). Typically, ETAs are not longer than eight hours and UTAs mayrun from 8 hours to 60 days. The type <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fence and sentence length determines whether the Correctional Service <strong>of</strong>Canada or the National Parole Board has authority to issue TAs. In simplistic form, the National Parole Board determinesall TM for <strong>of</strong>fenders serving Life sentences and for other violent <strong>of</strong>fences that resulted in serious harm to the victims, TheWarden, as the head <strong>of</strong> the releasing institution, retains complete responsibility for the final clearance <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenders beingreleased on TM and provides a written recommendation to the N.P.B. when they possess the legal authority.As a general rule, all <strong>of</strong>fenders are eligible for E.T.A.s the moment they commence their federal sentences. In practicehowever, very few <strong>of</strong>fenders will receive authorization for TAs early within their sentence, with the exception <strong>of</strong> TAs formedical and compassionate purposes. As a general rule, medical and compassionate TM are escorted by what isdetermined as a security escort (two <strong>of</strong>ficers who possess and utilize restraint equipment). However, for other types <strong>of</strong>ETAs, the <strong>of</strong>fender is usually escorted by one <strong>of</strong>ficer only. Variations in the level <strong>of</strong> security exist and is determined byassessing the level <strong>of</strong> risk the <strong>of</strong>fender poses to the public.In terms <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fender's eligibility for UTAs, this is determined by legal calculations <strong>of</strong> eligibility and varies from one <strong>of</strong>fender toanother depending on their sentence length. In the case <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenders serving a Life sentence, UTA eligibility is calculatedas three years before their full parole efigibility date.Federal <strong>of</strong>fenders may qualify to participate in work release programs outside <strong>of</strong> the correctional institution for a specifiedperiod <strong>of</strong> time These type <strong>of</strong> releases could see a single <strong>of</strong>fender going out to work as well as groups <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenders.However, they are usually escorted by at least one <strong>of</strong>ficer. In addition, UTAs may be granted to allow <strong>of</strong>fenders toparticipate in personal development programs or community service projects. UTAs are generally granted for a maximumperiod <strong>of</strong> 15 days, although if the UTA is for participation in a personal development program, it may be extended to 60days, renewable.Day Parole is a flexible form <strong>of</strong> release that provides an opportunity for correctional <strong>of</strong>ficials to employ gradual release,preparing the inmate for release on full parole and allowing the inmate the opportunity to. participate in community-basedprograms and become readjusted to life outside the institution.Federal <strong>of</strong>fenders, with the exception <strong>of</strong> those inmates in preventive detention or serving indeterminate sentences, areeligible for day parole six months prior to their parole eligibility date or after having served six months <strong>of</strong> their sentence.whichever is longer. The majority <strong>of</strong> the inmates on day parole reside in community-based facilities operated by theprovincial and federal corrections services or by private agencies on contract with the Correctional Service.FULL PAROLEFull Parole is a program <strong>of</strong> conditional release that allows inmates to serve a portion <strong>of</strong> their sentence in the communityunder supervision. Inmates are generally eligible for full parole after serving one-third <strong>of</strong> their sentence or seven years,whichever is shorter. Under the Corrections and Conditional Release Act enacted in 1992, however, sentencing judgeshave the authority to set the parole eligibility for <strong>of</strong>fenders convicted <strong>of</strong> violent and serious drug <strong>of</strong>fences at one-half ratherthan one-third <strong>of</strong> the sentence. In such cases, the period until parole eligibility cannot exceed ten years. Federal inmatesserving Life sentences are eligible for parole consideration after seven years in confinement, dated from the day the<strong>of</strong>fender was arrested and taken into custody. The exception to this are situations in which an <strong>of</strong>fender is serving a Lifesentence with a mandatory minimum sentence. For example, a First Degree Murder conviction carries a mandatory 25years confinement before parole eligibility.STATUTORY RELEASEStatutory Release has its origins in an amendment to the Parole Act in 1970, which created a mechanism to provideassistance and control during the <strong>of</strong>fenders readjustment to life in the community for inmates who had been denied parole,In contrast to parole, statutory release involves the release <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenders from the institution after serving two-thirds <strong>of</strong> theirsentence, with the remaining one-third being served under supervision <strong>of</strong> the National Parole Board in the community.Inmates released under statutory release are supervised by parole <strong>of</strong>ficers and must abide by mandatory and any additionalconditions set by the NPB that are deemed necessary to successfully manage the <strong>of</strong>fender's risk in the community. Aviolation <strong>of</strong> the conditions can result in suspension and revocation and return to the institution where the <strong>of</strong>fender may haveto serve the remainder <strong>of</strong> his sentence.Inmates can be Detained by the NPB and thus not released on statutory release. However, it has been determined in lawthat <strong>of</strong>fenders have the right to be released after serving two thirds <strong>of</strong> their sentences and thus, to detain an <strong>of</strong>fender, theremust be significant grounds to establish that the <strong>of</strong>fender would constitute a grievous threat to the community, or anymember there<strong>of</strong>, if released, Following completion <strong>of</strong> their sentence, (Warrant Expiry Date), these Inmates are releasedinto the community without any _ supervision or assistance. However, recent changes in the Garret:bons and _ConditionalRelease Act have made provisions to allow for the supervision <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong>fenders beyond their Warrant Expiry dates,However, the changes in this law are not retroactive to <strong>of</strong>fenders currently serving sentences and will likely involve a verysmall group <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenders determined to be extremely dangerous.

MDISTRICT OFON THE FRASERMemo58FILE: PRO.DEV.DEVL09-002To: Chief Administrative OfficerFrom: Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> PlanningDate: <strong>January</strong> <strong>18</strong>, <strong>2010</strong>Subject: Summary <strong>of</strong> Public Information Meeting — <strong>Mission</strong> Snipers Pool Hall Ltd. at33212 1 st Avenue/33211 N. Railway Avenue — Liquor Primary LicenseApplicationRecommendationThat Council directs Planning Staff to submit the following resolution to the Ministry <strong>of</strong> PublicSafety and Solicitor General, Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB):Background"Be it resolved that:1. Council recommends the issuance <strong>of</strong> the license for the followingreasons:a. The proximity <strong>of</strong> the establishment to other social and/orrecreational facilities and businesses would help create a vibrantdowntown.2. Council's comments on the prescribed considerations are as follows:a. The potential for noise if the application is approved is minimal;b. The impact on the community if the application is approved isseen as positive; andc. The amendment would not result in the establishment beingoperated in a manner contrary to its primary purpose.3. Council instructed Staff to hold a public information meeting. The localresidents were informed about the public information meeting via mail.Council has reviewed all submissions both positive and negative innature."The <strong>Mission</strong> Snipers Pool Hall is proposing to construct a 35.7 square meter (384 square foot)seating lounge within the existing Pool Hall located at 33212 1s t Avenue/33211 N. RailwayAvenue (Map 1). The facility previously had a liquor license under the prior ownership, but thelicense was not renewed. The proposed liquor license would allow the sale <strong>of</strong> alcohol to 29persons in a detached area (Plan 1).In accordance with the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>'s Liquor Licensing Procedures Policy LIC.15, referralshave been made to the <strong>District</strong> -<strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>'s Economic Development Department- and the localRCMP and a public information meeting was held at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, December 9, 2009at Municipal HallComments from the RCMP Fire Department, Inspection Services and the Manager <strong>of</strong> EconomicDevelopment are attached as Appendix B.PAGE 1 OF 8


59The public information meeting sign-in and comment sheets are attached as Appendix A.Additional correspondence, by way <strong>of</strong> letters, emails and petitions, expressing both support forand against the application have been received from the public and are attached as AppendixC.Petition FOR from users: 191Petition FOR from business: 23Letters FOR: 4Petition AGAINST: 110Letters AGAINST: 36Summary <strong>of</strong> MeetingPresent at the meeting were the owners <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Mission</strong> Snipers Pool Hall (Cesar Morales andMirna Guevara), and the planner (Ryan Anderson). Additionally, approximately 7 to 10 members<strong>of</strong> the community attended the meeting, not all <strong>of</strong> whom signed in on the available sign-in sheet.There were several concerns raised by the community members in attendance. Those concernscan be summarized as follows:• Alcohol may bring the wrong type <strong>of</strong> person to the area;• The owners cannot control persons after they have left the facility after consumingalcohol;• Alcohol does not promote the downtown in a positive way;• There is an increased probability <strong>of</strong> drinking and driving in the area;• Children attend facilities in the immediate vicinity <strong>of</strong> the pool hall; and• General concerns about loitering and the potential for aggressive behaviour.The following responses were provided by the owners/applicants and attending communitymembers who supported the application:• If necessary, the owners/applicants would be willing to hire a security company tomonitor the loitering and any negative outcomes associated with the consumption <strong>of</strong>alcohol;• Smoking is not dependent on the consumption <strong>of</strong> alcohol;• Loitering as a result <strong>of</strong> smoking can in part be addressed by the security the applicantis willing to hire;• A liquor license would contribute to a business which will potentially otherwise have toclose down; and• Comments regarding the nature <strong>of</strong> the clientele are stereotypes.Planning AnalysisThe subject property is zoned Core Commercial Downtown One Zone (CCD1) and has anOfficial Community Plan (OCP) designation <strong>of</strong> Core Commercial. The CCD1 zone specificallyhas a Permitted Use <strong>of</strong> "Pool and Billiard Hall".FILE: PRO.DEV.LIQ PAGE 2 OF 8L09-002


60Section 4.1 <strong>of</strong> the OCP deals specifically with "Developing the Community Core" by creating a"Strong Downtown", and points out the following:• The downtown is very pedestrian oriented;• The downtown's physical environment is generally in need <strong>of</strong> upgrading;• There has been a high vacancy rate in the downtown core; and• Downtown revitalization is a key component <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>'s overall economic developmentefforts.The OCP also references a 2001 <strong>Mission</strong> Downtown Retail Market Study. The study identifiedthat there should be a focus on "creating a merchandising mix that provides either a unique orcomplimentary shopping experience".From a planning perspective, downtown areas need vitality to be healthy. This vitality must beachieved not only during regular business hours (9:00am - 5:00pm), but must extend into theevening. By having businesses in this area willing to open their doors for longer hours, morepeople will be drawn to the area creating a more vibrant, alive precinct. This activity, in turn,generates more "eyes on the street" and ultimately a safer environment. Dark, empty streetswhere businesses are closed generate more fear for those that do venture into the area.Additionally, many <strong>of</strong> the concerns residents raised regarding the issuance <strong>of</strong> a liquor licenceare issues that are not connected to the <strong>Mission</strong> Snipers Poll Hall directly. Issues such asdrinking and driving, prostitution, unsavoury people and smoking are all greater social issuesdealt with at different levels. Restaurants are permitted to serve alcohol, don't allow smokinginside, yet we don't oppose their applications.For the above rationale, and because other staff generally had no concerns, and the ownerspetitioned 23 local businesses for their support, and the owners willingness to work with theirneighbours to address concerns, the Planning Department is recommending that Councilendorse the application.ProcessFor applications <strong>of</strong> this nature the LCLB requires a resolution from the local governmentcommenting on the application. Two options are available to the local government in responseto this application and forms part <strong>of</strong> Staff's recommendation:1. Provide "No comment" — a resolution indicating this decision must be provided to thebranch; or2. Provide a complete resolution to the branch, as recommended.Barclay Pitkethly, MCIPDeputy Director <strong>of</strong> PlanningG:\COMDEV\RYAN\Development Files\Snioers Pool Hall\Reports\Summary <strong>of</strong> Public Meeting (Snipers Pool Hall).docFILE: PRO.DEV.LIQ PAGE 3 OF 8L09-002

71<strong>Mission</strong> Snipers Pool Hall33212 1" Avenue<strong>Mission</strong>, BC604-820-211210,(4,1)Re: Primary Liquor License ApplicationTo: Mayor James Atebe and Councils <strong>of</strong> the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>My husband, Cesar Morales, and I, Mirna Guevara, have put together this letter in order toshow you our reasons for wanting to acquire a liquor license for our downtown pool hall. We aretwo very hard working and honest individuals who came to Canada over twenty years ago and havebeen working hard to try and make a good life for ourselves and our four children since that time.We are currently in the process <strong>of</strong> applying for a primary liquor licence for our pool hallwith hopes that this will help to generate more business for us. We worked extremely hard and spenta great deal <strong>of</strong> money on renovating the building to make our business look the way that it looksnow in order to try and attract an honest and decent clientele. Unfortunately, we have not beengetting enough customers coming in and therefore we are not generating enough revenue to coverour expenses. Our business is family owned and operated and we do our very best to ensure that weare maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone to enjoy.We can promise you that the businesses which are located around ours 'will not haveanything to worry about if we do get our liquor license because we would be hiring securitypersonnel to take care <strong>of</strong> the place, and we would also be monitoring the amount <strong>of</strong> alcohol thatpeople are consuming. We can guarantee that our employees who are serving alcohol will have thenecessary experience to do so as well as having attained their Serving it Right certificates. It will bebusiness policy that anyone who tries to come in to the building already intoxicated will not beserved anymore alcohol and will be asked to leave. We also realize that our responsibility does notend when our customers leave the building and we would ensure that people who have beendrinking inside <strong>of</strong> our establishment have a safe way to get home afterwards. Our reputation is veryimportant to us as we would like to continue to run a safe and successful business.Furthermore, I would also like to mention that this establishment has functioned as alicensed pool hall in the past and businesses who are currently opposed to us acquiring our liquorlicense did not even realize that the previous pool hall was licensed to serve alcohol. This issignificant because it demonstrates that it is possible to successfully run an establishment whichserves alcohol at this location without causing disturbances to the surrounding businesses. Themajority <strong>of</strong> businesses in downtown <strong>Mission</strong> are only open during the day and during that time wetypically are not very busy, as the majority <strong>of</strong> our clientele does not come in until later on in theevening.If you look at the area <strong>of</strong> our building which we have proposed as the designated drinkingarea, you will notice that this section is quite small in comparison to the size <strong>of</strong> our entire building.This area would be protected by a railing and only people over the legal drinking age would bepermitted to enter this area and no alcohol would be permitted in the actual playing area.We would like to have the opportunity to keep our business open to the community, but ifwe do not get the approval for the liquor licence we may have to shut down our doors to the overtwo-hundred pool players that come in to enjoy a game <strong>of</strong> pool in our building. Not only are weserving pool lovers from the <strong>Mission</strong> area, many <strong>of</strong> these players come in from Abbotsford, MapleRidge, and Coquitlam because the places that are available in these other locations are not as nice as


72ours. We believe that our business is beneficial to the community as it is the only one <strong>of</strong> its kind intown and it gives citizens another option for things to do for entertainment in town. The people whohave come in to play pool in our building have been very happy with their experience there and haveshown us great support. We thank you for your consideration in this matter and look forward tohearing from you. Please feel free to contact either one <strong>of</strong> us if you have any questions or concernsregarding this matter.Sincerely,Mima Guevara Cesar Morales


73From: Karley Seabrook [mailto:Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 2:30 PMTo: Ryan AndersonSubject: support for liquor licenseHello,My 3 year old daughter attends dance classes at Fraser Valley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance and Iunderstand that Sniper's Pool Hall has applied for a liquor licence. I imagine most <strong>of</strong> theresponse from FVAD has been against such a licence. As a citizen <strong>of</strong> the community <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>,I however, have a different response. The downtown core <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> has unrealized potential tobe a chosen destination for shopping, entertainment and culture. The negative response fromsome <strong>of</strong> the businesses downtown is, in my opinion, a reaction <strong>of</strong> fear based thinking; fear <strong>of</strong>change and fear <strong>of</strong> what could happen if Sniper's is granted such a licence. What I wonder is,where is the support and encouragement between business owners? Where is the optimisticvision <strong>of</strong> what downtown <strong>Mission</strong> has the potential to become? With this unsupportive aridnegative response between business owners, how will <strong>Mission</strong> city grow to serve the communityin more prosperous and exciting ways?I am not typically a person who involves themselves in politics but I had quite a reaction whenMs. Carney was encouraging the patrons <strong>of</strong> FVAD to sign a petition voting against this licence.There was an assumption implied that I shouldn't want to support the owner's <strong>of</strong> Sniper's, thatmy daughter and other children <strong>of</strong> FVAD would be harmed in some way if this license were togo through, all <strong>of</strong> which I think is ridiculous.What I am most passionate about here and supportive <strong>of</strong> is the development <strong>of</strong> the downtowncore, business owners supporting one another and optimistic (rather than fear based) thinkingThank you for reading and considering my outlook,Sincerely,Karley Seabrook


74From: Ian MacLachlan [mailto:Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 3:03 PMTo: Ryan AndersonSubject: <strong>Mission</strong> Snipers Pool Hall - Letter in Support <strong>of</strong> Application for Liquor LicenseMr. Anderson,I am writing to you in reference to, and in support <strong>of</strong>, the Liquor License Application made on behalf <strong>of</strong><strong>Mission</strong> Sniper's Pool Hall. I am a resident and taxpayer in the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>, and a regular visitor tothe downtown core. My daughter is a student at the Fraser Valley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance and as such I havethe opportunity to visit the neighborhood affected by the application at least once a week.I believe that <strong>Mission</strong> would benefit from additional business in the Downtown core, and do _not believethat a licensed Pool Hall is in any way inappropriate in spite <strong>of</strong> it's location across the street from theFraser Valley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance. If the application is complete and the applicants are in compliance withthe liquor licensing laws <strong>of</strong> the Province, the <strong>District</strong> and the City, I believe the license should besupported. Any other position would be prejudicial towards the owners or patrons <strong>of</strong> the establishment.Would this be an issue if the license application were for a fine dining establishment, an English style pubor a cultural club? The Fraser Valley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance is itself housed in a former Mason's Lodge,which has no doubt at one time or another held a liquor license.I look forward to a favorable outcome in this matter, and to the part that the <strong>Mission</strong> Sniper's Pool Halland other neighborhood businesses, including the Fraser Valley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance, may play in therevitalization <strong>of</strong> our beloved town center.IanIan MacLachlan, MD.Executive Vice President &Chief Scientific OfficerTekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp.100-8900 dlenlvon ParkwayBurnaby, BCCanada V5J 5J8Tel: 604-419-3205Fax: 604-419-3201www .tekmirapharm.corn

In my dealings with Cesar Morales andhis wife Mirna Guevara, I have found them to be hard working and veryresponsible people. I am sure that they would obey all <strong>of</strong> the laws that gowith having a liquor licence and not abuse the privilege.The last time there was a pool hall in <strong>Mission</strong> was about four yearsago and it was owned by a gentleman named Phil. For three years I played ina nine ball league at this pool hall and it did have a liquor licence. In thistime I saw lots <strong>of</strong> people playing pool and enjoying an occasional beer. Inever did see anyone who was drunk. People who want to drink heavily willgo to pubs and bars, not the pool hall to indulge. The clientele that will go toa pool hall will be there to play pool first and may enjoy a beer or two at thesame time.Seeing as there has not been a pool hall in <strong>Mission</strong> for the last fouryears, the pool players in town could only go to the pubs in order to playpool. These people are now, used to having a beer while they are playing agame <strong>of</strong> pool. I have spoken to several people who will not come to thetournaments on Saturday because the pool hall does not have a liquorlicence.


76Cesar and Mirna have made a very large investment to bring a poolhail back to <strong>Mission</strong>. They spent a lot <strong>of</strong> money on renovating the buildingand they bought brand new Gold Crown tables for the hall. These tables arein the top three tables available for quality and are very expensive tables.With this investment out <strong>of</strong> their pocket, I am sure that Cesar and Mirna arenot going to allow anyone to drink too much and do damage to the buildingor their tables. They are going to want to protect their investment.Cesar is trying to work with the community. He has madearrangements with the principals <strong>of</strong> the high schools and some classes areeven coming down the pool hall. To me this sounds like someone who wantsto be a good member <strong>of</strong> the community and run his business in a beneficialway for everybody. I do not think he is going to take a chance on ruining hisbusiness by abusing the privilege <strong>of</strong> having a liquor licence.In summary, I am hoping that you will grant a liquor licence to Cesar.This will give him equal footing in competing with other locations that <strong>of</strong>ferpool tables to their customers.Just for the record, I would like you to know, that due to a couple <strong>of</strong>health issues, I do not drink alcohol.C.C.

88We, the undersigned, strongly object to the requested application for a liquor license for the <strong>Mission</strong> Snipers Pool Hall at 33212 Avenue,<strong>Mission</strong>. As customers, employees, owners and residents <strong>of</strong> the downtown area, we know that the presence <strong>of</strong> another licensed lounge wouldbe at the detriment <strong>of</strong> the business and residential core <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>. The area is struggling to be revitalized, and is slowly moving away from theproblems associated with alcohol and drugs that have had a regular presence around us, especially in the evening.In particular, the license location is_ directly 'across the street from a children's dance school, where over 300. students and their familiesccngrvgRit@ over many hours eve_ y evening ana weekend., BONin the immediate- vicinity <strong>of</strong> a OliKIrerf.S Phl?0! makes this license rExliAot' completely unsuitable and directly at odds with the safe, family environment essential tar our children.All signitortes below we <strong>18</strong> years <strong>of</strong> age or older.VFull NamePostalcode1' i'PrithlY,..IV: n'slitatstY Vg-li 1C- '4- 1.1 LS S t 6N.12' Vitir-tr\_) C__Pttti VaV t 6-1- Vi, i.SL er•-.1City[Customer /Resident /Business Owner /Employee]<strong>of</strong> downtown <strong>Mission</strong>1340.42r s 11.,`s&St fveSS Cuus.eit3 .

94From: Jason Burrows [mato*Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2009 4:55 PMTo: Ryan AndersonSubject: Liquor License 1st Ave, <strong>Mission</strong>Er)Mr. Anderson,It has come to my attention that a liquor license is being proposed, or considered for the south side <strong>of</strong> the33200 block <strong>of</strong> downtown <strong>Mission</strong>. I am opposed to this proposal or consideration for the followingreasons:-I have been employed in Law Enforcement for the last 12 years, and have noticed, in my pr<strong>of</strong>essionaland private experience, that smoking bans within licensed premises (and many other businesses) havemoved smokers onto public streets. An addition <strong>of</strong> a liquor license to a business in the 33200 block <strong>of</strong> 1stAve, would likely cause additional people under the influence <strong>of</strong> alcohol to frequent the sidewalks nearthis business. I also cannot imagine the applicant <strong>of</strong> the liquor license has a patio large enough at itssouth side (overlooking West Railway) that could accommodate current smoking regulations (i.e. not with30 feet <strong>of</strong> doors etc).-There is a currently a Dance Academy on the north side <strong>of</strong> the 33200 block <strong>of</strong> 1st Ave, that attractshundreds <strong>of</strong> children into healthy hobbies, activities and social events at various hours <strong>of</strong> the day, andevening. Many parents in the community gladly spend hard earned money enrolling their children into thisdance school at young ages (as young as three) in hopes that their children stay committed to healthyactivities and continue attending into their young adulthood years. Furthermore, the parents dropping theirchildren <strong>of</strong>f, and spending time and money downtown could .greatly be discouraged.-I have recently noticed a decline in undesirable people hanging around in Downtown <strong>Mission</strong>, and I haverecently found myself shopping, buying c<strong>of</strong>fee, and purchasing a variety <strong>of</strong> goods in the area. I currentlyhave no reservations about walking around downtown during dark winter evening hours, after dinner withmy four year old daughter. I can guarantee I would not do the same activity between Grand St and CedarSt, which by coincidence is the home <strong>of</strong> a licensed establishment, and beer and wine store.For your consideration,Jason Burrows

We strongly oppose having this business obtain a liquor license. We began attending FVAD inSept 2009 and were shocked at number <strong>of</strong> individuals loitering around that area <strong>of</strong> town and disturbed atbeing approached for drugs by some <strong>of</strong> these individuals. We decided that we would walk our daughtersright up to the door <strong>of</strong> the dance studio rather than let them walk along the street. Neither our daughtersnor ourselves felt comfortable about having them walk along this street.The owners <strong>of</strong> the dance studio were well aware <strong>of</strong> the concerns held by families regarding safety on thestreet. To that end they have hired security for the entrance <strong>of</strong> the dance studio. We have also beenpleased to see other security patrols along the street in this area. These interventions serve to make usfeel much safer and more comfortable having our children attending this dance studio in <strong>Mission</strong>.Again, we strongly oppose this liquor license application.Sincerely,Shelley Canning & Rene St-Martin

Iwill keep it short, but I am completely opposed to such an idea. I have been a teacher atthe Fraser Valley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance now for nine years, and needless to say, I have seenmany <strong>of</strong> the students grow from small children into resposible young adults. I teach allages, some as young as four, and they are all in the dance studio not only to learn how todance, but also important tools in order to be a respectable and contributing member <strong>of</strong> ourcommunity. How unfortunate to create such a safe and creative environment, only for themto walk outside onto 1st Ave, which has greatly improved since I first worked here, to theunforseen circumstances that an establishment providing liquor will no doubtly give.I have two small children <strong>of</strong> my own, and only want <strong>Mission</strong> to continue to improve into aclean, safe, family orientated community. I do not want to come out <strong>of</strong> my work, feelingunsafe, and surely do not want the three hundred students that I teach to feel that way aswell. I want to be proud when I say I reside and work in <strong>Mission</strong>!Thank you for your time,Tina Cattermole, instructor for Fraser Valley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance.

Being a parent, I am extremely cautiouswith takin ., m hiois in and out <strong>of</strong> the l"VAD dance school everytime expecially when it's dark. Ihave seen prostitules. homeless people, hikers hanging around in the neighbourhood. Thanks tothe school hiring a security guard and it has helped to improve the situation: If alcohol isavaiiane in the neighbourhood, I can guarantee that the old problems will be back and it couldget worse than before. I work in the field <strong>of</strong> Mental Health and Addictions and I have workedwith people who are homeless and poor. Trust me, though they have a very tight budget, theywill have or even find money for alcohol if it is easily accessible. Also nobody would be "toobusy" to drink if this is what they like.I'm not saying that we are depriving the Snipers' right to determine how they do business but thisis just not an apporbriate area to have the liquor so readily available. It is too risky to have ourkids exposed to all the potential problems. The downtown <strong>Mission</strong> can become East sideVancouver if we are not careful and not responsible. I think it is very sad that the owner <strong>of</strong>Sniper chooses to ignore his social responsibility while he only cares about making a pr<strong>of</strong>it fromthe community. However, the Council, with a wider perspective, should make a decisionconsidering the benefits <strong>of</strong> the community as a whole instead <strong>of</strong> only looking after the pr<strong>of</strong>its <strong>of</strong>a business man. I do hope Snipers owner's request for a liquor license be turned down. Thankyou.PhebeOne <strong>of</strong> the FVAD Parents

We are constantly harassed by panhandlers, drunk or drugged personsas well as groups <strong>of</strong> "undesirables" sleeping or sitting randomly. I was somewhat shocked anddismayed that Council is considering a liquor licence to the pool hall. To have alcohol availablewithin that short distance <strong>of</strong> a danCe studio seems like we are asking for huge trouble. I'm notconfident we have the policing to monitor the situation. The security currently in place does notreplace law enforcement as they have no authority to effectively deal with any <strong>of</strong> the problems onFirst avenue.I would like to see <strong>Mission</strong> take positive steps to make this the beautiful town it is capable <strong>of</strong>becoming and avoid situations that take us backwards.Yours truly,Brenda Formosa

Myhusband and I moved to <strong>Mission</strong> from Burnaby with our family about 2 years ago. One <strong>of</strong> the mainreasons we chose <strong>Mission</strong> as a place to buy our home and raise our family is because <strong>of</strong> our perceivedcare that <strong>Mission</strong> has taken to be family friendly and progressive in planning for the future.The revitalization <strong>of</strong> the downtown core is a major concern for any customer to the downtown businesses.The choice <strong>of</strong> businesses that make up this revitalization project must be carefully considered if <strong>Mission</strong>wants to continue to attract families that will come and spend time and money locally rather than goingelsewhere.I am aware that the pool hall in the downtown core has applied for a liquor license. I am concerned thatthe granting <strong>of</strong> the license would effect the entire downtown core in a negative way, especially given thecare that <strong>Mission</strong> has taken to ensure the safety <strong>of</strong> citizens who frequent the family oriented businesses,including the retail stores and the dance schools. I do not see the necessity <strong>of</strong> another establishmentthat serves alcohol in such a small downtown core, especially given the size and location <strong>of</strong> the pool hall.We are strongly opposed to the granting <strong>of</strong> a liquor license to the pool hall, and would hope that yourcouncil will see the damage that the granting <strong>of</strong> the application could have on the future <strong>of</strong> the downtown<strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>.Thank you.Sincerely yours,Angela Frendo

104December 22, 2009Re: <strong>Mission</strong> Snipers Pool Hall Liquor-Primary Licence ApplicationDear Mr. Mayor and Council Members,We write to you as owners <strong>of</strong> the Fraser Valley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance, a children's dance school <strong>of</strong> over 300students mainly aged from 3 to 16 years old, located at 33219 1 st Avenue in Missi6n. We are directly acrossthe street from the <strong>Mission</strong> Snipers Pool Hall. We understand that the owners <strong>of</strong> Snipers have applied for aliquor-primary licence for 28 seats between 12 noon and 1:00 a.m. daily.We attended the December 9, 2009, Public Information Session at the <strong>Mission</strong> Municipal Hall in order topresent our concerns with this licence request, and to learn more about the details <strong>of</strong> the application from theowners. We hoped to learn that the owners would have some answers in regards to the obvious communityconcerns with this licence application. We also believed that they would be aware <strong>of</strong> the problems <strong>of</strong> thedowntown core, the struggle to revitalize the area, and the existence <strong>of</strong> childrens' schools surrounding theirestablishment. Unfortunately, this was not the case.As new residents <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>, we were ourselves naïve to the problems on .1 st Avenue when we moved to<strong>Mission</strong> and purchased the Fraser Valley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance in July 2008. However, we became completelyaware <strong>of</strong> the situation within one week <strong>of</strong> being at the school daily. Our response was to immediately hire asecurity guard, to discuss the problems with the RCMP, to talk to the Downtown Business Association, and tomeet with the Community Police Liaisons. Understanding the importance <strong>of</strong> community involvement, we alsojoined the Arts Council, the Chamber <strong>of</strong> Commerce, and later the new Business and Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Women's<strong>Mission</strong> Chapter.As a result <strong>of</strong> hard work and community involvement during our first year, we raised enrollment by 35%. This,along with our visions <strong>of</strong> further growth in the community, resulted in us receiving the EntrepreneurialExcellence Award for 2009 from the <strong>Mission</strong> Chamber <strong>of</strong> Commerce. We did this against the odds in arecession and in spite <strong>of</strong> the difficulties on 1 st Avenue in the evening.In order to ensure the safety <strong>of</strong> our children and their families attending the school, we pay $10,000 per yearto have a security guard outside our building for 4 hours every evening, Monday to Friday, either 4:30-8:30 or5:00-9:00. Every evening, we receive a security report. Between September 2008, and June 2009, therewere <strong>18</strong>8 incidents reported, 82 <strong>of</strong> those between September and December 2008. The majority <strong>of</strong> incidentsinvolved prostitutes (106 sightings visible from our school). Between September 2009 and December 2009,there were only 4 incidents. This is a vast improvement and is shown in the chart below.Fraser Valley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance and Theatre Arts Ltd.33219 .1" Avenue, <strong>Mission</strong> BC V2V1G7Tel (604) 826-oo97 Fax (866) 304-fvad info@fvad.ca www•ivad.ca

106As there is no place to smoke inside the Snipers Pool Hall, everyone who frequents the establishment mustgo onto the surrounding streets to smoke. With an entrance at front and back, this means that the smokersare either near the Martial Arts school and boxing club, or opposite the dance school. Neither location ishelpful for the children, nor is an increase in smokers on the street helpful for downtown. Studies show thatpeople who drink tend to smoke, and heavy drinkers tend to be heavy smokers. With a liquor-primarylicence, there will be a substantial increase in the number <strong>of</strong> people smoking, and therefore the number <strong>of</strong>people exposed to the toxic second-hand smoke, on and around 1 st Avenue.With a liquor-primary licence from 12 noon to 1 am, people can be drinking alcohol without food for 3.5 to 9hours at the time young children come to the dance school across the road from the Snipers Pool Hall. Forpeople drinking without causing problems, there is little incentive for any establishment to stop serving them.When customers do reach the point <strong>of</strong> having drunk too much, and are asked to leave, they will now be indirect contact with our children and their families. If they are displeased about being told to leave the poolhall, they will now be drunk and angry. This is never a situation into which children should be placed. Andyet it is being requested nonetheless.Many <strong>of</strong> the people leaving the pool hall will get behind the wheel <strong>of</strong> a motor vehicle. No matter how muchcampaigning occurs, people still drink and drive. Many people don't think 2 or 3 drinks makes them too drunkto drive. It can never be acceptable to place those people in their cars directly next to the hundreds <strong>of</strong>children and their families who frequent the dance school, the martial arts school and the boxing club. Noone should ever take such a risk with children's lives, let alone adults' lives.The liquor-primary licence on 1 st Avenue may be necessary for the pool hall owners to make a pr<strong>of</strong>it. But thatpr<strong>of</strong>it comes with a price tag <strong>of</strong> increased loitering, second-hand smoke, drunken behaviour, drunk drivingand potential for aggression. It seems impossible for anyone to consider introducing such risk factors into ourchildren's lives, let alone into a community area where people are working together so effectively to make thestreets safe for everyone.There is room for a family-friendly, non-alcoholic pool hall on 1 st Avenue at the centre <strong>of</strong> the downtown core.There cannot be room for a liquor-primary licence. Please support the work already done by the Council andthe community, and reject the <strong>Mission</strong> Snipers Pool Hall liquor application. Please continue to make sure ourchildren are safe.Yours sincerely,John Carney Carolyne CarneyOwner OwnerFraser Valley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance and Theatre Arts Ltd.332.19 Avenue, <strong>Mission</strong> BC VaViG7Tel (604) 8z6-oo97 Fax (866) 3o4-fvad info@fvad.ca www.fvad.ca

By grantingSnipers a liquor license I feel that this would not be inline with the plan <strong>of</strong> improving the downtown core.This would be a step backwards, it would have a negative impact in this area.The location <strong>of</strong> Snipers is in close proximity to two other business that have young children being dropped<strong>of</strong>f to attend lessons. This would not be a responsible decision by council to approve this request. Itdoes not take much thought to see the risks will be added to these other already thriving businesses byhaving a bar next door.I understand that the owner <strong>of</strong> Snipers is attempting to increase business with a liquor licence. It appearsfrom what I have read, that alternative ideas to improve business have been presented to the owner withlittle or no interest by the owner. It sounds like the owner is looking for a quick and simple fix to hisproblem without any consideration to the impact that it may have on others. The downtown core requiresbusinesses that match the cites needs and goals, that support and contribute to the community in apositive manner. Businesses that cannot sustain themselves within this criteria will fail. They should notbe propped up with liquor licensees.I have seen the downtown core in the past and I applaud the hard work that has been done to improve it.By granting a liquor licence to Snipers I feel that this is not congruent with the goals <strong>of</strong> the downtownimprovement plan and would be undoing the hard work that took so long to achieve.A proud and concerned <strong>Mission</strong> residentJohn Lemond


115From: Captivating Designs [mailto:Sent: Monday, December 21, 2009 3:19 PMTo: Ryan AndersonSubject: Fwd: Snipers Liquor License ApplicationDear Ryan,I am writing in response to the Snipers Liquor License Application.My 3.5 year old daughter attends dance across the street, as do many other little girls that I know.I do not find it appropriate to be having people drinking across the street where no doubt it willattract some sort <strong>of</strong> mishaps. I don't think that the chance should be taken when our little girlsare there throughout the late afternoon and evenings. Not only do these children go in and out <strong>of</strong>the dance school, but <strong>of</strong>ten parking is bad and there are times when parking across the street isnecessary.My 6 year old son attends martial arts classes in behind Snipers. Often we are forced to park onthe side street right beside Snipers, and I am not at all confident with parking in that area alonewith 3 young children if there is any sort <strong>of</strong> public drunkeness, which would no doubt be the caseat some point.<strong>Mission</strong> has worked hard to clean up 1st Avenue, I have seen the changes first hand and ampleased with the results to date. Let's not take a step backwards here.A major concern <strong>of</strong> mine would be the loitering around outside that will go hand in hand with theserving <strong>of</strong> alcohol. The smokers have to go somewhere, and I find it inappropriate to have themon 1st avenue, particularly when I may have to pass by the establishment with 3 young children,a 1 year old with asthmatic tendencies, a 3 year old with asthma, and a 6 year old. Whatprotection will be <strong>of</strong>fered to them as I have to walk down the street past a bunch <strong>of</strong> smokers? It isdisgusting, and no child should have the breath that in. I challenge you to have a look at thenumber <strong>of</strong> children in that area in the late afternoon/evenings. This is not really a suitable placeto have a bunch <strong>of</strong> poitering, smoking, and public drunkeness. Perhaps if Snipers wishes tochange the nature <strong>of</strong> their business to include the serving <strong>of</strong> alcohol, they should be searching fora mroe suitable location to expand their business.Thank You,Lisa Lindal

They are being dropped <strong>of</strong>f and waiting for pick up throughout the day and evening. It isinevitable that intoxicated individuals will be interacting with these young ladies with the proximity <strong>of</strong> theproposed licensed pool hall. This is not an acceptable mix. There are more appropriate venues foranother drinking establishment in our town that would not be so close to where our children are using thedowntown core area. As well, we appreciate being able to shop and enjoy other services in <strong>Mission</strong>'sdowntown.We urge you to support the efforts <strong>of</strong> many small business owners to create a safe, family orientedatmosphere in downtown <strong>Mission</strong> by refusing to grant a liquor license for the Snipers Pool Hall.Thank you for considering our concerns.Sincerely,Maja and Aaron Malkswiission, BC

The downtown <strong>Mission</strong> businesses are already findingit difficult to survive economically. Downtown <strong>Mission</strong> has a large number <strong>of</strong> marginalizedand addicted people who spend their days and nights wandering Main Street, and anotherdrinking establishment will only make the situation worse. If this application is approved itwould not surprise me at all to see more <strong>Mission</strong> businesses abandon Main Street, leaving itto deteriorate rapidly.Consider also the Fraser Valley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance located directly across the street fromthe pool hall. There are over three hundred children attending classes at the academy.They come from all over the Fraser Valley, and it is inappropriate for a drinkingestablishment to be located in such close proximity to children. The academy already finds itnecessary to have a security guard posted outside <strong>of</strong> its front door.<strong>Mission</strong> has The Bellevue Hotel at one end <strong>of</strong> town, and does not need anotherestablishment at the other end <strong>of</strong> town. I do not think the merchants <strong>of</strong> Downtown <strong>Mission</strong>or their customers will appreciate the clientelle from bars at either end <strong>of</strong> town wanderingfrom one establishment to the other in increasing states <strong>of</strong> intoxication. Shoppers will go toThe <strong>Mission</strong> Junction or Abbotsford more than they already do in order to avoid this familyunfriendly environment. This outcome is inevitable if this application is approved.I hope that <strong>Mission</strong> will be able to attract more quality businesses to Main St, but I believethat allowing more drinking establishments will make that impossible.SincerelyKevin Neufeld

When Iwas growing up here, I was unsure I would ever return as an adult to raise my own family. Now, as amother, teacher and citizen, I am more and more proud <strong>of</strong> the work that is happening to showcase ourstrengths and our clear acknowledgement <strong>of</strong> areas that are <strong>of</strong> concern.After so many years, hours and efforts <strong>of</strong> our community to make First Avenue an economic hub andcentral part <strong>of</strong> our city, I am very concerned about a licensed pool hall in the area. To be completelycandid, we aren't ready. I don't believe we have the infrastructure, the resources, or the desire to handlesome <strong>of</strong> the potential problems this could reintroduce to an already instable part <strong>of</strong> our city. No matterhow diligent the owners are, I feel that it would be damaging to the work that has been done by ourcitizens, and RCMP. As an Auxiliary, my husband has had first hand experience working with some <strong>of</strong> theunique environments within the downtown core. We feel that -having another licensed liquor establishmentin the area, at this time, would be detrimental to the feel <strong>of</strong> 'progress' and the perception <strong>of</strong> 'public safety'that draws other communities to ours. Not only would this be negative for our economy, but also for ouralready thinly stretched resources.Please consider our opinions in the making <strong>of</strong> this decision.Thank you,Jas and Darrell Piche

121Re: Sniper's request for liquor-primary licenseTo Whom It May Concern:As an employee <strong>of</strong> FVAD (Fraser Valley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance), located on 1st Avenue in <strong>Mission</strong>, Iwould like to express some <strong>of</strong> my concerns regarding the above mentioned request.Due to the large number <strong>of</strong> children who attend the dance school and the continuous turnover<strong>of</strong> children between the hours <strong>of</strong> 3pm and 9.30pm on a daily basis, my main concern is thesafety <strong>of</strong> these children. With the possibility <strong>of</strong> a liquor license being granted in the buildingdirectly opposite the dance school, my concern is for the increased number <strong>of</strong> drunken peopleon 1 st Avenue. Drunken behaviour, whether it be drunken people loitering on the streets,drunken people driving on the streets or simply drunk people being in the vicinity <strong>of</strong> a danceschool, is worrying for parents, business owners and above all, the children.In my opinion, it would be a huge shame to risk the possibility <strong>of</strong> 1 st Avenue going back to it'sold ways before the security patrol started there. It would be terrible to see the return <strong>of</strong> anunsavoury, criminal, and unsafe 1 st Avenue when effort has gone in to improving the area.In order to protect the people on 1 st Avenue and make it a safe environment for everyone inthe area, I am opposed to the request for a liquor-primary license at Snipers, 1 st Avenue,<strong>Mission</strong>.Yours Faithfully,Mrs C Potocky

127From:[mailtcSharon WiebeSent: Monday, December 21, 2009 4:53 PMTo: Ryan AndersonSubject: Snipers Pool Halla] On Behalf OfDear Mr AndersonIt is my understanding that Snipers Pool Hall has applied for a liquor license, despite the fact thatthey are located directly across from hundreds <strong>of</strong> children participating at Fraser ValleyAcademy <strong>of</strong> Dance's programs and despite the children and youth participating at their ownplace <strong>of</strong> business. Given that I have managed a youth drop in center (pool tables, concession,foosball and a general hang out spot) in Abbotsford for several years I feel that I may be able toshed some light on this issue.Having worked with young people for over 15 years, and being familiar with many <strong>of</strong> the youngpeople ages <strong>18</strong> -30 who frequent the area I am concerned about the temptations presented forthese vulnerable young adults. A great deal <strong>of</strong> the youth downtown are at risk <strong>of</strong> alcoholism dueto pre-existing circumstances or are currently struggling with alcoholism. While they enjoyplaying pool and hanging out with their friends at places like Snipers, this enjoyment may leadthem to habit forming addictions - thus making the pool hall an unsafe place for them. Why putthese temptations into a previously safe, family environment?I understand also that those representing Snipers indicated that the homeless in our communitydo not have enough money to buy alcohol. I am sure that those in attendance addressed thisissue, but in case it was missed - clearly this is a misinformed comment. Aicholism and drugaddictions are prevalent amongst the homeless, which is <strong>of</strong>ten why they are homeless. Theyspend all they get on their addictions. This fact cannot be brushed over and is a significantplayer in this discussion.When an individual causes problems in a business such as Snipers, generally they are sentoutside where they tend to cause problems as well - only now they are angry. My concern is thatwhen these certain individuals are "kicked out" <strong>of</strong> Snipers and the first person they see whenthey are sent out is a young lady from the school, what will their reaction be? This is completelyunpredictable and not something I wish to even consider and none <strong>of</strong> us should be put in thatposition.Lastly, having spent many years with youth who struggle with addictions, and having seen thefruit <strong>of</strong> this, I am gravely concerned about the threat presented to students attending FraserValley Academy <strong>of</strong> Dance. Drunkenness creates a whole new personality and causes people todo things they may not have imagined themselves doing, had they been sober. I have seen thisacted out in all kinds <strong>of</strong> behaviour all the way from rude comments and vandalism to death by adrunk driver.Given my extensive experience with children, young adults and with addictions, in mypr<strong>of</strong>essional opinion I strongly recommend that Snipers reconsider their application for a liquorlicense unless they relocate to a more appropriate area, or show a great deal <strong>of</strong> proactive

The applicant is provided initialcomment from various development related departments and is informed <strong>of</strong> all necessaryrequirements to make full application. The development inquiry meetings are <strong>of</strong>ten attended byEngineering, Inspection Services and Planning staff for a period <strong>of</strong> 30 minutes for each inquiry. Inaddition to the staff time spent at the meeting, planning staff have been providing written commentson the development proposal to the applicants once the meeting has concluded.The developer has always had an option to receive written comments but rarely requested thewritten comments option. As staff now provides written comments for all development inquiries, onlythe written comments option should remain.Planning AnalysisPlanning staff have found that many preliminary development inquiries can be dealt with free <strong>of</strong>charge at the planning counter. In respect to costs, development inquiry meetings occupy significantamounts <strong>of</strong> staff time to attend and to write a follow-up letter. In order to obtain an improved costrecovery structureto overall planning department duties, the verbal inquiry fee should be deletedfrom the cost structure and only the development inquiry fee (written comments provided by staff)should remain.

It was also resolved that further consideration <strong>of</strong>the bylaws would be deferred pending resolution <strong>of</strong> external agency and municipal requirements.The proponent decided to hold a public open house on March 25, 2003 prior to resolution <strong>of</strong> alloutstanding issues. No additional open houses were held and no further progress on bylawestablishment has been made. Various amounts <strong>of</strong> work have been completed by the applicant in thepast 6 years including various environmental and engineering studies, discussions with stakeholders etc.LAN.54 states that Council can resolve to vary from Section 108 <strong>of</strong> the <strong>District</strong>'s Zoning Bylaw(Streamside Protection and Enhancement Areas) when exceptional circumstances exist. Section 108would require that 30 m from the high water mark <strong>of</strong> Silvermere Lake is retained as a SPEA and wouldbe unavailable for development. LAN.54 states that a SPEA could be defined using the detailedassessment gs per the Riparian Areas Regulation which would stjll be consistent with provincial andfederal regulatory requirements. In this case, it is likely that the majority <strong>of</strong> SPEAs would be 15 m fromhigh water mark although some areas may still require approximately 30 m.The applicant's agent is presenting a case that exceptional circumstances do exist in terms <strong>of</strong> competingenvironmental objectives and uniqueness <strong>of</strong> the site. Several potential environmental attributes <strong>of</strong> thePage 1 <strong>of</strong> 6


136site could be realized through private investment if the project is eventually supported. These includeimproved access by juvenile salmonids into and out <strong>of</strong> Silvermere Lake, improved riparian vegetation,painted turtle habitat protection and improved long term stewardship <strong>of</strong> the lake. Many <strong>of</strong> these wouldrequire long term monitoring and maintenance to be realized. The applicant also raises the point that thelong term existence <strong>of</strong> the lake is dependent on well maintained and engineered causeways that will notcollapse during flood events and the engineering <strong>of</strong> these causeways is dependent on the projectproceeding.There are significant environmental impacts associated with the project in terms <strong>of</strong> access via acauseway, construction <strong>of</strong> houses and roads on the island and related water quality impacts fromrainwater and sewage disposal. Portions <strong>of</strong> the development such as access along the causeways willlikely result in harmful alteration, disruption or destruction <strong>of</strong> fish habitat and will require the proponent toobtain authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada. These authorizations will also trigger aCanadian Environmental Assessment Act screening which will require impacts to terrestrial as well asaquatic resources to be assessed and mitigated. Additional regulatory requirements will need to be metfor rainwater management and sewage disposal.As noted by the applicant's agent, support for the use <strong>of</strong> the detailed RAR assessment does notconstitute Council support for the rezoning application. The use <strong>of</strong> the detailed RAR will determine theminimum SPEA required under federal and provincial legislation. Although Council could allow the use <strong>of</strong>the detailed RAR assessment to exclusively set SPEAs, Council could also have the developer submit adevelopment plan that combines the Section 108 (Zoning Bylaw) SPEAs with those from the detailedRAR assessment with the goal <strong>of</strong> balancing the need for developable land with the requirement to protectenvironmental attributes. The resulting SPEA, outside <strong>of</strong> areas where HADDs are required, could thusrange in width from likely 15 m to 30 m or greater but given the constraints on the site, will likely be closerto 15 m. Once the SPEA is established, the use and layout <strong>of</strong> the development can be finalized allowingthe normal OCP amendment and rezoning referral and review processes by the public and regulatoryagencies to continue.Mike YounieManager <strong>of</strong> Environmental ServicesF:\ENGINEER\MYOUNIE\Memos\R02-033 RAR Variance.docPage 2 <strong>of</strong> 6

The variance request is made on the basis that thereare exceptiona! circumstances which will result in a net community benefit, inparticular envi:onmental benefits for <strong>Mission</strong>.<strong>Mission</strong> staff have visited the site. Pottinger Gaherty Environmental Consultantshave conducted environmental studies related to the site.The site is unique in that it is a man-made reservoir, originally constructed over 50years ago, which requires active investment by the landowners to store the waterinside the reservoir, and active management to reduce the occurrence <strong>of</strong> invasiveplant and fish species. Management <strong>of</strong> the plant life in the reservoir is also beneficialfor safe use <strong>of</strong> the water surface.LAN.54 provides examples where a variance process for the application <strong>of</strong>Streamside Protection Enhancement Areas (SPEA) would apply. Consistent withLAN.54 bullet item 6, there are competing environmental objectives which supportthe application <strong>of</strong> a detailed RAR methodology for land uses adjacent to thereservoir. Some <strong>of</strong> these competing environmental objectives include:• improving access through and within the reservoir for salmonids• providing permanent protection for painted turtle habitat• avoiding a future where, left unmanaged, the reservoir will become moreprone to proliferation <strong>of</strong> bass as the reservoir fills in with vegetation, getsshallower and warmer• removing habitat supporting the invasive bass species• reducing the current reliance on hand-transfer <strong>of</strong> salmonids across thecauseway.• improving the management for the preferred species such as the paintedturtle, as well as for compatible recreational uses <strong>of</strong> the reservoirFurther to the environmental objectives above, without active investment in themaintenance and management <strong>of</strong> the causeways and reservoir, there is a serious risk<strong>of</strong> degradation <strong>of</strong> the current environmental assets <strong>of</strong> the site and the physicalintegrity <strong>of</strong> the causeways.

Ourclients seek assurance from Council that a comprehensive environmentalmanagement approach, including setbacks appropriate to the unique circumstances<strong>of</strong> a privately owned reservoir, are supported by Council, as one parameter guidingdevelopment <strong>of</strong> the adjacent lands.The Landowners have been active supporters <strong>of</strong> salmonid enhancement for overfifteen years in partnership with a local non-pr<strong>of</strong>it group. This has included base lineresearch and support for hand-transfer <strong>of</strong> salmonid juveniles through the reservoirbarriers. During their stewardship <strong>of</strong> these lands, the landowners active support forbuilding nests has resulted in the first documented return <strong>of</strong> the Purple Martin tonesting on the north side <strong>of</strong> the Fraser River.A resolution <strong>of</strong> support by Council for a detailed RAR assessment approach for thisapplication would enable the following community objectives to be achieved:• New outlet and new fish ladder to improve fish access from the Stave River tothe reservoirEnhance existing riparian vegetation by planting native plants• Manage recreational use <strong>of</strong> the reservoir through a strata or trust entity, andthereby encourage long-term stewardship by an active and interestedcommunity• Replant native plants for much more diverse and productive habitat• Permanent protection <strong>of</strong> the northeast bay <strong>of</strong> the reservoir for painted turtlehabitat, likely through a covenant and physical barriers to boating adjacent tothe turtle habitat.• Enhance habitat for amphibians and small mammals• Remove invasive terrestrial vegetation (blackberry)• Support a Purple Martin stewardship initiative in the Stave RiverStrict application <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>'s Sec. 108 setbacks would preclude access to the Islandoutside <strong>of</strong> a SPEA area, and would severely constrain developable areas on theremaining site. As a consequence, the c.omnumity_benefits outlined above would notbe realized. It is important to note that this is restricted to an -acceptablemethodology for determination <strong>of</strong> riparian setbacks on the site --- this is not adevelopment application. It is one step that will enable a development application tobe made. The development application, including any HADDs (Harmful Alteration,Disruption or Destruction) associated with the proposed development will be appliedfor separately and subject to full agency review.Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 6

Municipalities,WILL provide a wide array <strong>of</strong> sustainable community benefits as outlined above,andMeets the requirements <strong>of</strong> exceptional circumstances for consideration <strong>of</strong>Council Policy LAN.54.We fully understand that support for use <strong>of</strong> the detailed RAR approach under LAN.54does not constitute Council support for the rezoning application, and recognize thatany impacts on environmental resources will be the subject <strong>of</strong> review by seniorgovernment agencies, including review <strong>of</strong> proposed mitigation measures related toany potential HADDs. The detailed RAR approach for setback determination simplyenables a complete application to be made, which will be reviewed comprehensivelyby staff, Council and the public through the normal rezoning referral process.

The challenge in proposing anychange(s) to a life safety" service is to ensure that there is no reduction in service and that we don'tjeopardize the services being <strong>of</strong>fered.Staff has investigated this issue and are prepared to report back and provide recommendations onthis issue.C, ;EV ) I ;von Sep <strong>18</strong>thveguon do


Page 2155•BACKGROUND:A background paper was prepared to provide the Committee and the Board with a generaloverview <strong>of</strong> the history and configuration <strong>of</strong> the current E911 system. This paper should be readand understood prior to reading the remainder <strong>of</strong> this report.DISCUSSION:As part <strong>of</strong> this review, staff looked at a significant number <strong>of</strong> options to providing E911, Firedispatch and/or a combination <strong>of</strong> both services.Six (6) options where developed and explored fully;1. Combine the service areas into one and keep the status quo for PSAP and SSAPconfigurations and include fire dispatch in the new FVRD E911 Service Area.2. Restructure the current configurations retaining the PSAP at APD and re-locating thePSAP from the RCMP to FV Fire Dispatch3, Consolidate the PSAP into one location in combination with FV Fire Dispatch4. Contract the PSAP function to EComrn and contract the fire dispatch function to the SurreyFire Department5. Contract the PSAP function to EComm and retain the fire dispatch function at the FV FireDispatch6. Contract the PSAP function to the Abbotsford Police DepartmentAs part <strong>of</strong> the review process, a quote for E911 call distribution was requested from ECommVancouver and a quote for Fire Dispatch was requested from Surrey Fire Dispatch. Both agenciessupplied quotations.The quotation provided by EComm Vancouver for E911 call distribution was highly competitive.However, it would result in considerable loss functionality in areas such as availability <strong>of</strong>operational police personnel to oversee and supervise operations, loss <strong>of</strong> immediate response toabandoned E911 calls, and loss <strong>of</strong> local geographic diversification <strong>of</strong> the communication centresfor disaster recovery.The quotation provided by Surrey Fire for fire dispatch replaces the personnel costs only. Costsrelating to radio network operations and maintenance remain the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the FVRD. Astart up cost would be required for construction -and configurations to integrate computer-aideddispatch, records management, and connectivity to the FVRD radio network into their systems.There will also be unknown recurring costs relating to connectivity to the radio network and othercommunication expenses.The results <strong>of</strong> the review <strong>of</strong> options are summarized in the ables that folioG NE911 repon - Sep lath version doe

159RECOMMENDATION:Staff are recommending the following changes to the E911 and Fire dispatch model for the <strong>2010</strong>year and beyond.<strong>2010</strong> FVRD E911 Service Area PSAP Configuration:The FVRD E911 Service Area will change the staffing and funding method to make it equalbetween the two PSAP contractors whose call volumes, and populations served, are almost equal.The funding will be more reflective <strong>of</strong> performance requirements than staffing levels.Figure 2 Grade <strong>of</strong> Service Calculatorcc-Modeler liteCallsCalls per hour 13-0—Average Talk Time: 115 secsWrap-up Tine: Fr secs Total Call Duration:45 secsService Levelr Average Delay: 17-- secsJLr Auto GeoGraphs0" 97 percent answered withinCalculate Agents Requiredlikkarber al Agents alpetatprz:TA.

This equates to 10person years to provide service 24 X 7, 365 days per year, providing for holidays, time <strong>of</strong>f andother entitlements, Five full time equivalents <strong>of</strong>funding in -the amount <strong>of</strong> $542,77&00 will beprovided to the RCMP Communication Centre in Chilliwack, and five full time equivalent <strong>of</strong> fundingin the amount <strong>of</strong> $542,775.00 will be allotted to the Abbotsford Police Department.'EO I 1 rem" Sep I Sib version doc


The FVRD 2 PSAP configuration provides fault tolerance', load balancing 2, and "Hot Back-up" inthe event at system failure at either location, an evacuation requirement, or a sudden majorincident when additional answer capabilities are required instantaneously. The two centres aregeographically separated, yet within range for radio and cellular communications. This makeseach police communication centre able to communicate to the other's operational units fordispatch <strong>of</strong> a police incident.Page 7160Co-locating E911 Primary Answering in established emergency communication centres within theFVRD ensures that their operations remain viable, help insure their longevity, and address theneeds <strong>of</strong> the communities for public safety communications reliability. Placement <strong>of</strong> the PrimaryAnswering in a police communications centre also enables approximately 70% <strong>of</strong> E911 calls to beanswered within the agency they are intended. On average, Police account for 70% <strong>of</strong> E9111 callvolumes, Ambulance 25%, and Fire 5%.The police departments have another significant role within the E911 function. There areapproximately 7000 abandoned or dropped E911 calls annually per PSAP area. If E911 operatorsare unable to determine the nature <strong>of</strong> the call, operational police personnel attend at the locationindicated in the automatic location information (ALI) and verify the nature <strong>of</strong> the call.Figure 3 — E911 Service Area Configuration:E911 Landline & Cellular CallsESZ 1792 S6 , 466 Ines)ESZ 5500 (3 629 WM)ESZ 5500 (63919 tines)Cellular 777FY Fe aipathSecnnaary Sarety_AnswenngPosnscr: SSAP)1 Fault-tolerance or graceful degradation is the property that enables a system to continue operating properlyin the event <strong>of</strong> the failure <strong>of</strong> (or one or more faults within) some <strong>of</strong> its components.2 Load balancing is a technique to distribute workload evenly. Using multiple components with load balancing,instead <strong>of</strong> a single component, may increase reliability through redundancy.,.E91 report • Sep lab version doc

SUBSTANTIATION OF THE RECOMMENDATION:Page 9162The new model being recommended by staff is meant to achieve efficiency, equity and financialstability throughout the Region by,1) Providing a new source <strong>of</strong> revenue for funding the E911 system, thata) Collects a Call answer levy (CAL) from all users in the region.i) Currently, the 911 system does not receive funding from(1) First Nations lands(2) Federal/Provincial properties like Prisons, Court houses, Post Offices, etc.(3) Non taxable properties (e.g. churches, schools, colleges. Etc.)(4) Etc.b) Hopefully in the future, cell phones will be charged the CAL and thereby further expand theavailability <strong>of</strong> funding2) Provides equity between the Chilliwack RCMP and Abbotsford Police Department PSAP functionsby funding them at the same financial (versus based on 6 fte positions) level.3) Ensures that the E911 system has both back-up and redundancy built into the system (unlikeEComm) or Surrey Fire Dispatch.4) Provides the City <strong>of</strong> Abbotsford with equity by ensuring that the the FVRD taxes" (requisitions) forFire dispatch service, versus "contracts° with the City thereby requiring the City to raise the taxrevenues directly.COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT HEAD / DIRECTOR OF FINANCE:Reviewed and supportedCOMMENT BY ADMINISTRATOR:Reviewed and supportedG91 1 repan • Sep I veruon de

Not all the Service Areas provide the same service. Central Fraser Valley E911 ServiceArea does not include Fire Dispatch (SSAP) service. The City <strong>of</strong> Abbotsford contracts the FVRDfor fire dispatch service in the amount <strong>of</strong> $195,000.00 per year. The DARD Service Areaagreement bills the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> $74,000,00 for Fire Dispatch Service. Fire Dispatch isincluded in the Fraser-Cheam Service Area. The current operational configurations for Egli callanswer and distribution are efficient, reliable, and have a built-in configuration for "highavailabilityl"and fault tolerance, and should not be jeopardized. The challenge is to retain currentefficiencies and benefits.Definition <strong>of</strong> E91 1:911 - The three digit dialing sequence used for calls for emergency assistance from police, fire,and ambulance services.Enhanced 9-1-1 or E9-1-1 service is a North American telecommunications based system thatautomatically associates a physical address with the calling party's telephone number, and routesthe call to the most appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for that address. Thecallers address and information is displayed to the PSAP call taker immediately upon call arrival.This provides emergency responders with the location <strong>of</strong> the emergency without the person callingfor help having to provide it. This is <strong>of</strong>ten useful in times <strong>of</strong> fires, break-ins, kidnapping, and otherevents where communicating one's location is difficult or impossible.Calls to 911 are routed to a public safety access 'point (PSAP). Enhanced 911 (E911) providescaller location information to the PSAP, Once the nature <strong>of</strong> the emergency is established, the callsare then re-routed (down-streamed) to one <strong>of</strong> the four SSAP's established for police (Abbotsfordor Chilliwack), fire and ambulance,E911 can be categorized as centralized answer (PSAP) with distributed response (SSAP).1 High availability is a system design protocol and associated implementation that ensures a certain absolutedegree <strong>of</strong> operational continuity during a given measurement period.G V:91 BgrAsground Paper doe


Page 2164History:in 1992, the Fraser-Cheam E911 system began operations in what were the Regional <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong>Fraser-Cheam boundaries. The service area and funding by-laws included the provision <strong>of</strong> E911emergency telephone call distribution regional fire dispatch.In 1994, the Dewdney-Alo.uette Regional <strong>District</strong> contracted the Fraser-Cheam Regional <strong>District</strong>for the provision <strong>of</strong> E911 emergency telephone call distribution and fire dispatch services. The firedispatch service included the dispatch <strong>of</strong> the North Fraser Volunteer Fire Department, a regionaldistrict function, and fire dispatch service for the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>. The <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>contracted DARD to provide fire dispatch service for their municipal fire halls.In 1994, Central Fraser Valley Regional <strong>District</strong> E911 began operations within their boundaries.The E911 Service Area and bylaws included only E911 emergency telephone call distribution. Itdid not include funding <strong>of</strong> a centralized fire dispatch. The fire dispatch was being performed by theAbbotsford Police and that arrangement was left intact.In 1 .996, the amalgamation <strong>of</strong> the three Regional <strong>District</strong>s occurred. The FVRD maintainedcontinuity <strong>of</strong> operations <strong>of</strong> existing E911 Service areas.In 2002 the City <strong>of</strong> Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service contracted the Fraser Valley Regional <strong>District</strong>to provide centralized fire dispatch for a three yearterm ending December 31 st, 2004. Thisagreement has been renewed for a five year term effective <strong>January</strong> 1, 2005, in the amount <strong>of</strong>.$195,000,00.System Operation:The FVRD E911 Emergency Telephone Access System currently consists <strong>of</strong> the following:• Fraser-Cheam Service Area with primary answering location located in conjunction withthe RCMP Upper Fraser Valley Regional Communication Centre, and a fire dispatchcentre ih Chilliwack, serving the former Fraser-Cheam.• DARD Service Area contracts to the Fraser-Cheam Service Area for E911 and FireDispatch. The DARD service area in-turn bills the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> for fire dispatch.Central Fraser Valley Service area with a primary answering location located in conjunctionwith the Abbotsford Police Communications Centre.• A Secondary Safety Answering Position (SSAP) for BC Ambulance call located inVancouver, funded by the Province.All E91 1 telephone calls are automatically routed to the appropriate primary answering centre,either in Abbotsford or Chilliwack. The caller is asked if they require Police, Fire, or Ambulance. Ifthe call is a Police emergency, the call then becomes a police call and is dispatched at that the •point <strong>of</strong> original receipt. If the emergency is for Fire, the call is downstreamed to the Regional<strong>District</strong> Fire Dispatch Centre; andlf the emergency is Medical, the call is downstreamed to the BCAmbulance Centre. Once the E911 call answerer determines the nature <strong>of</strong> the call and "downstreams2" the call to either Police, Fire, or Ambulance, and ensures the caller is connected, theE911 service responsibility ends. The call becomes the property and responsibility <strong>of</strong> the downstream agency and the E911 operator drops out.2 °down stream" — the process <strong>of</strong> transferring the E911 call from the initial answering point to Police, Fire, orAmbulance during which there is constant contact with the caller.G■491 tiackgrand Paper doe


Page 3165The C911 Service Areas call volume is 100,000 calls annually. The call volumes are almost evenlysplit between the Abbotsford and Chilliwack call centres. in 2008, the Abbotsford Service Area had44,776 calls, and the Fraser-Cheam Service Area had 50,202 calls. The call volumes haveremained fairly constant since record keeping became available in 2000. E91 1 calls are answeredat either the RCMP or APD Communication Centres depending on origin. See figure 1 below thatidentifies the Emergency Service Zones (ESZ) and routing <strong>of</strong> E911 calls to the Public SafetyAnswering Positions (PSAP).Figure 1 — FVRD E911 Emergency Service Zones (ESZ):E91 I Call Answer and Quality <strong>of</strong> Services Standards:.The accepted E911 standard in the Province <strong>of</strong> British Columba and Alberta is 95% <strong>of</strong> all calls areanswered within 5 seconds. This is also the calling answering performance standard as defined inthe National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1221.Calculations for E911 Call Answer position requirements, based on actual call volumes, andmeeting a standard (NFPA 1221) call answering criteria <strong>of</strong> 95% <strong>of</strong> all calls answered within 5seconds, indicate that there are 2 operators required during all hours <strong>of</strong> the day.G ',E911 Background Paper dcc

Of these position, 6 are located at the RCMP inChilliwack and 6 at the Abbotsford Police Department. The agreements for each location are notequal in terms <strong>of</strong> overall fundingThe RCMP contract calls fOr 6 FTE © $108,555.00 per person = $651,330.00 per year. TheRCMP serves approximately 50 percent <strong>of</strong> the region noted by the blue area in figure 1.The Abbotsford Police Agreement provides the Abbotsford Police with a $400,000 paymentfor staffing, capital costs and Operations & Maintenance relating to the Abbotsford (PSAP)E911. In addition to the fee noted above, the FVRD directly pays for an admin support fee, acontribution toward travel and administration fees for a total <strong>of</strong> $466,<strong>18</strong>9.<strong>18</strong> per year. TheAbbotsford Police serve the other half <strong>of</strong> the region (primarily the City <strong>of</strong> Abbotsford), which isthe green area <strong>of</strong> the map in figure 1.The other portion <strong>of</strong> the E911 service is the provision <strong>of</strong> Fire Dispatch services. Fire dispatchservices are provided for the entire region by FVRD staff. The staffing <strong>of</strong> the Fire. Dispatch systemcurrently has one Manager, four (4) Full time dispatchers and a complement <strong>of</strong> part time (currently5) to provide sick/vacation relief as well as a "cover shift". The cover shift is a part time shiftrunning from 15:00 — 19:00, hours which is the Fire dispatch's busiest period. The cover shift wasinitiated in 2001 at the request d the City <strong>of</strong> Abbotsford's Fire/Rescue Department.Under the current configuration, the method <strong>of</strong> funding the E911 and Fire Dispatch services is asfollows,The Fraser Cheam area pays for both E911 and Fire Dispatch by way <strong>of</strong> FVRD property taxrequisition,The DARD service areasThe CFVRD pays for E911 by way <strong>of</strong> FVRD property tax requisition, while Fire Dispatch isdelivered by way <strong>of</strong> a contract with the City <strong>of</strong> Abbotsford. The 2009 contract was in theamount <strong>of</strong> 195,000. This contract is up for renewal in 2009.Under the Fraser-Cheam, D.A.R.D., and C.F.V. 3 service areas the total cost in 2009 is$2,207,400.00.
