healthy foods.

various other groups to steward land. The Society would act as the

access the land.

Facility Long-term Asset Management Plan (F-LAMP)
Priority:
Strategic
Operational
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That:
1. The Facility Long-term Asset Management Plan dated June 9, 2015, prepared by
Levelton Consultants Ltd be referred to a future Committee of the Whole meeting for
further review and discussion;
2. The funding projections identified within the Facility Long-term Asset Management
Plan be incorporated into the preliminary 2016-2020 Financial Plan for Council’s
consideration; and
3. A copy of the F-LAMP report be provided to community groups who lease or operate
from district-owned facilities for their information.
BACKGROUND:
District-owned buildings are significant capital assets. Excluding public utility stations, there are
forty-six (46) buildings in the Central Saanich inventory, with a total cost of reproduction (2015
insurance value) of approximately $32 million. Many of these buildings support critical functions
of local government, public works/services, emergency and protective services operations,
including storage of records and specialized vehicles/equipment. Others support park,
recreation and community-based activities and programmes.

Re: Facility Long-term Asset Management Plan (F-LAMP)
June 09, 2015
To ensure long-term financial sustainability of the municipality, a corporate Tangible Capital
Assets (TCA) plan has been under development in recent years. A key component is a
comprehensive Facility Long-term Asset Management Plan (F-LAMP). In October, 2014, the
firm of Levelton Consultants Ltd was commissioned to undertake the F-LAMP review. A project
steering committee was formed with staff representation from all departments, in order to
ensure all interests were recognized and the results and recommendations were thoroughly
vetted.
Over the course of several months, detailed condition assessments were completed on each
building, including those leased to community groups (eg. Central Saanich Seniors Citizens’
Association, Lions Club, etc). The findings were incorporated into a maintenance and renewal
schedule for individual components within each building, groups of “like-buildings” (eg. heritage,
parks & recreation) and the full inventory to provide a forecast of planned expenditures for the
next twenty-years.
An Executive Summary has been attached for reference (Appendix A), with the building group
(4) and Master reports distributed separately.
DISCUSSION:
In the interest of long-term financial sustainability of the district, it is prudent to plan for future
maintenance and equipment replacement associated with municipal buildings. This will not only
protect this substantial community investment but also to ensure the services and programs
operating from these facilities are not negatively impacted.
The F-LAMP provides a road map for the next twenty years. The plan identifies recommended
funding allocations for maintenance and renewal on a year-by-year basis. These costs are
different than an operating budget in that they are not expended each year, year after year,
such as utilities or service contracts, rather, they are planned expenditures to maintain and
replace components of the building to optimize its service life. It should be noted that the FLAMP is limited to existing assets, those buildings and their components found at the time the
plan was prepared. Therefore, it does not include allowances for renovations or enhancements
to existing assets or construction of new facilities, all of which may be contemplated to meet
future needs of the organization, but would be planned separately.
All district-owned buildings were included in this review, including those buildings leased or
used by community groups for their activities and programs. The cooperation and assistance
received from group representatives during this review was much appreciated and has
contributed to a better understanding of the current condition and future needs of these
buildings. Most groups expressed an interest in receiving a copy of the final report for their
information and future planning. The extent to which, if any, future financial support is provided
to implement the recommended actions for buildings within the “External Users” category
remains solely at the discretion of Council and available funding resources. However, in this
regard, review and further discussion at a future Committee of the Whole meeting would be
beneficial to clarify and refine policies on the following matters:
 Agreements for community use of District buildings;
 Clarification of the terms of agreement (eg. responsibility for building maintenance,
component replacements and enhancements); and
 Potential for financial assistance.

Re: Facility Long-term Asset Management Plan (F-LAMP)
June 09, 2015
At this time the following actions are recommended:



Refer the F-LAMP report to a future Committee of the Whole meeting for further review and
discussion as noted above;
That the identified funding projections identified in the F-LAMP report be incorporated into
the preliminary 2016-2020 Financial Plan for Council’s consideration;
A copy of the final F-LAMP report be provided to community groups who lease or operate
from district-owned facilities for their information.
Comments from Finance:
In the 2015-2019 Financial Plan, funding sources for an estimated annual cost of $300,000
were identified as follows:
Funding sources
Property taxation
Gas tax grant
Reserves
Cost estimate
2016 ($)
75,000
225,000
300,000
2017 ($)

Funding sources are reviewed during budget planning annually.
Mr. Andrew Russell and Mr. Chris Wright of Levelton Consultants Ltd will attend the Regular
Council Meeting at which this item is considered to provide an overview of the findings and
respond to any questions.
CONCLUSION:
Implementation of the F-LAMP will ensure planned, efficient application of public funding for
District-owned buildings over the long-term, to ensure:
 Maximized useful life of each facility
 Protection of assets
 Cost savings over the long term
 Enhanced public safety
 Reduced disruption of services and greater efficiencies.

www.levelton.com EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In September of 2014 the District of Central Saanich (“The District”) retained Levelton Consultants Ltd. (“Levelton”) to develop a facility long-term asset management (F-LAMP) plan for 41 District-owned buildings. This report presents a higher integrated view of four Sub-Reports, each with its own group of buildings. District-owned buildings support several critical functions of local government, public works/services, community development and emergency operations. They serve as storage for records, historic documents, and specialized vehicles/equipment. Furthermore, they provide recreation, community-based activities and programmes, and a regional cultural identity. Collectively they represent a substantial portion of District capital assets. For these reasons, the District has commissioned a facility long-term asset management plan (F-LAMP) spanning the next twenty years (2015-2035) to measure and monitor anticipated upcoming maintenance and renewal expenses. The Master Report is intended to highlight overall expenses and therefore funding needs, while the four Sub-Reports allow for categorical review of each building and its key components. The management of all the District’s facility assets over the next twenty years are summarized in Table i, where the costs are combined into five-year increments.

been put forward to extend the whanf attached to 7Ø54 Bnentwood Dnive. As
we have necently (and somewhat aggressively) been appnoached by the
nepresentatives of potential developens who indicated that they may wish
to punchase ours (and othen pnopenties) we ane concenned as to what this
Once again we
may mean.
Although possibly not under youn jourisdictíon we write to express oun
concern that this application the first step toward a pnoject that has
the potential to seniously impact the community, traffíc pattenns, oun
lifestyle and property values. As you are awane, thene already exist two
very large docks at 7Ø7Ø and 7Ø54 Bnentwood Drive. These convenge towards
each other leaving a veny nanrohJ space for access to the bay fon the three
propenties in between them. This proposed extension of the dock at can
only exacenbate the íssue and gneatly diminish oun ability to enjoy
Bnentwood Bay. As our pnopenties ane deemed 'waterfront' and ane taxed
accondingly we believe that these issues need to be overseen by the
municipality of Centnal Saanich.
hle have wnitten to The Ministny of Forests, Lands and Natunal Resounces to
expness oun concenns about the application to expand the dock at 7Ø54
Brentwood Dnive but believe this is a community issue that necessitates
the involvement and input of the municipality.

Dear Ryan,
The Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA) is the bargaining agent that
represents over 5,600 permanent and 2,900 temporary employees of the Canada Post Corporation
(CPC). These employees work in 3,290 rural public post offices in Canadian communities. At the
upcoming Federation of Canadian Municipalities in Edmonton, CPAA is respectfully asking for your
support to have the Marystown NL resolution debated on the convention floor.
Since 2006, Canada Post has closed 229 rural post offices and installed 73 new franchises. This
speaks to one of the points in the Five-point Action Plan introduced in December 2013, which is to
increase franchises.
Our public post offices have had their hours of service drastically reduced and citizens of rural
Canada are concerned by the potential loss of their federally run public post office. Our study "Rural
Post Offices and the communities that rely on them are being abandoned" which can be viewed here,
states that when a corporate post office is replaced with a franchise (privately owned), most often
when this franchise closes, the community is left with no postal outlet what so ever.
n March 27 ,2015, the Canada Post Corporation group of companies reported a massive profit from
operations of $299 million for 2014. The Canada Post segment reported profit from operations of
$204 million and a profit before tax of $194 million. This profit is around $555 million better than
CPC's projected loss. And yet, Canada Post continues to close post offices, move fonruard with the
elimination of door to door delivery, the reduction of positions and the abolition of decent paying jobs.
f
We ask that the Mayors support this resolution,objecting to the Canada Post Corporation's continued
attack on our public postal service and the elimination of good paying jobs in rural and urban Canada,
We further ask that the Government order Canada Post to invest the massive profits reported in
2014, to improve postal service in rural communities. Canada Post is courting big retailers like
Amazon and Walmart to get the online shopping business, yet they are destroying the very asset that
gives them their competitive advantage, and that is the unparalleled distribution network of rural post
offices in our country.
Thank you for your assistance,

Development Variance Permit & DP Amendment; 7878 East Saanich Road
("the Generation")
Priority:
Strategic
Operational
RECOMMENDATIONS:
that Council, with regard to the plans now submitted for Building Permit for the
development of a mixed-use residential rental apartment building at 7878 East Saanich
Road:
1. endorse the minor changes to the floor plans and landscape plan, reflecting the
concentration of commercial uses in the corner unit nearest the intersection of Wallace
Drive and East Saanich Road, as being generally consistent with the plans submitted for
the earlier rezoning and Development Permit applications for this property; and,
2. give notice of its intent to consider issuing Development Variance Permit no. 3090-208/15 that would reduce the minimum width of on-site parking area access aisles from
7.5m to 6.7m.
BACKGROUND:
"The Generation" development at 7878 East Saanich Road received rezoning and Development
Permit approval in 2014. The owners have now submitted application for Building Permit; as
the construction details of the project have been worked out, a few items have been identifying
requiring Council approval. This report covers a Development Variance Permit that has been
requested to permit a narrower drive aisle in some locations of the parking beneath the building.

Re: Development Variance Permit & DP Amendment; 7878 East Saanich Road ("the
Generation")
Also for Council endorsement are changes to the mix of units on the ground floor with
associated minor changes to the landscaping.
A separate report by the Director of Engineering will address an encroachment agreement for
portions of the structure and works within the municipal right-of-way, as well as issuance of a
Soil Removal Permit (with Traffic Management Plan) to enable excavation of the site in
preparation for building foundations.
DISCUSSION:
Ground Floor changes:
The plans submitted with the original application for rezoning and Development Permit showed
the entire ground floor tenant space devoted to commercial uses. The owners would like to
reduce the amount of space initially finished for commercial use, citing concern over the current
demand for commercial space in Saanichton (see Appendix 'C'). The zoning regulations for the
CD-8 zone require no minimum amount of commercial space for a mixed-use development on
this site. Having residential or commercial uses fronting the public sidewalk can have a different
effect on the streetscape, however, which engages an element of the design guidelines
governing the Development Permit.
The owner is not proposing to remove the commercial uses entirely, but has submitted plans
showing the commercial space concentrated at the most visible corner of the building (see
Appendix 'D'). The balance of the ground floor area, previously shown as commercial, would be
constructed as four additional rental housing units. The on-site parking is adequate to
accommodate this shift of uses within the building. Staff consider this to be an acceptable minor
change to the plans submitted for the Development Permit, still meeting the intent of providing
an activated streetscape. Staff also support the inclusion of four additional rental housing units
in this location. Given that the original plans were presented to Council to show what would be
developed if the land were rezoned, it is appropriate for Council to also review these changes.
The updated landscape plan provides a connection from the site to the park on the north side.
The configuration of the planters in front of the building has been adjusted slightly to provide
outdoor spaces more appropriately scaled to adjacent residential units; the terrace area
surrounding the commercial corner is unchanged. Other essential elements of the streetscape,
including the configuration of new sidewalk and boulevard street trees, remain as previously
presented.
Development Variance Permit:
The building design locates structural walls and piers in areas that would narrow the vehicular
drive aisle slightly below the 7.5m minimum required by the Land Use Bylaw. The Development
Variance Permit (DVP) application correctly notes that those areas where the drive aisle would
be reduced by 0.6m or 0.8m only serve parking spaces on one side (see Appendix 'B'); where
two rows of parking face across a drive aisle the 7.5m minimum is provided. Staff note that the
variance would not reduce the number or size of parking spaces provided on site.
The Fire and Building Departments note no concerns with the requested parking aisle width
variances as this is not considered a fire fighting access route and therefore not regulated by
the BC Building Code.

Re: Development Variance Permit & DP Amendment; 7878 East Saanich Road ("the
Generation")
Staff note that the plans indicate an overhead door near the entrance to the ground-level
parking; this is shown in error - previous discussion with the architect confirmed that this would
be removed to ensure the ground level parking is open and available for commercial and visitor
use.
CONCLUSION:
Staff support the proposed changes to the plans for "the Generation". Notice is required to
gather public input before Council considers whether to issue the requested variance. At this
point, Council could endorse the minor changes to the Development Permit and initiate the
process of the statutory notification for the DVP. Once the notification has been completed, the
DVP would be placed on a future Council agenda for public input and consideration for
issuance. The Building Permit, currently under review, could not be issued prior to the DVP.
Staff are also awaiting confirmation of whether any adjustments to the plans may be necessary
to satisfy BC Hydro, who operate adjacent transmission and distribution infrastructure.
As noted above, a separate report on an encroachment agreement and Soil Removal Permit
related to this development is also being prepared for Council consideration. Authorization of
the Soil Removal Permit would allow the owners to break ground and proceed with the
excavation work while the other approvals proceed in parallel.

Re: The Generations at 7878 East Saanlch Rd.
Bruce
I am writing to explain that my client has decided to replace some commercial space on Level One with
residential units . The reason for the change is that my client has been unable to lease this space. In the
re-zoning application we showed a total of405.4 sm [4364 sf] of commercial area on Level One They
have decided to retain 145.9 sm [1517 sf] of space as commercial at the east end ofthe building facing
.
East Saanich Rd .Thisis the prime commercial space with excellent visibility . As discussed l have
attached a revised landscape plan which is largely unchanged other than providing some greater
de?nition of privacy for the unit patios..

Re:
Development Permit for Signage; 828 Verdier Avenue (Daleen Thomas
Law Office)
Priority:
Strategic
Operational
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Council, with regard to signage to be installed at 828 Verdier Avenue, authorize
Development Permit no. 3060-20-5/15 to permit the signage as proposed.
BACKGROUND:
Daleen Thomas, has applied for a Development Permit for a fascia sign at 828 Verdier Avenue.
The applicant is a new tenant of the commercial space, and she is proposing a fascia sign that
complies with the Land Use Bylaw sign regulations. No master sign plan has been previously
approved for the property, therefore a Development Permit is required to authorize the proposed
sign location.
On April 7th, 2015, Council authorized issuance of a Development Variance Permit (DVP 309020-2/15) to Ms. Thomas to:
Vary Section 38 (10) of Central Saanich Land Use Bylaw 1309, 1999, to permit a law
office on the ground floor of the building at 828 Verdier Avenue despite the limitation of
office uses in the Neighbourhood Commercial (C-3) zone which specifies "Offices - limited
to the second floor of commercial use".
Phone: 250-652-4444 Fax: 250-652-0135
Page 45 of 98
To: Bruce Greig, Director of Planning and Building Services
June 08, 2015
Re: Development Permit for Signage; 828 Verdier Avenue (Daleen Thomas Law Office)
Proposal:
The proposed fascia sign would be located above the entrance to the law office facing Verdier
Avenue. The sign is comprised of white vinyl lettering on a black vinyl background that is flush
mounted on a plywood base (Appendix 'B'). No sign lighting is proposed. The sign measures
60cm (1.96ft) vertically and is 223.5cm (7.33ft) in length.
The applicant has a sandwich board sign that is complimentary to the proposed fascia sign. As
per Land Use Bylaw section 62(1)(k), a permit is not required for a sandwich board sign.
Site and Surrounding Area:
The subject building is located at 828 Verdier Avenue. The property is zoned Neighbourhood
Commercial (C-3) and is located at the western end of Verdier Avenue (Appendix 'A'). The site
is located within the Brentwood Bay Village and Moodyville Commercial/Mixed Use
Development Permit Area.
DISCUSSION:
Official Community Plan:
The proposed fascia signage should be considered in the context of the policies adopted in the
Brentwood Bay Village and Moodyville Commercial/Mixed Use Development Permit Area
Guidelines, including the following:
11.6.5.5.13 Encourage excellence in the design and construction of signs:







Creatively designed, constructed and lit signs can make a positive contribution to local
character.
Sign height should be in scale with neighbourhood buildings.
Free-standing pylon signs are discouraged. Signs should be located on the building façade.
Large areas of back-lit plastic signs or fabric canopy signs are discouraged.
Front-lit signs and neon signs are encouraged.
Signs should relate closely to village centre architecture through the use of complementary
materials and details.
Suggested sign types include individual letters, hanging signs perpendicular to the building
façade, or other creative solutions.
Land Use Bylaw:
LUB section 63(5)(a) allows the following sign types within the C-3 zone:
a) fascia signs and freestanding signs complying with section 63(1)(a)(i): "fascia signs
occupying up to the full length of the building face, facing upon the parking area or street
frontage only" ;
b) marquee signs;
c) sandwich signs; and,
d) awning signs.

To: Bruce Greig, Director of Planning and Building Services
June 08, 2015
Re: Development Permit for Signage; 828 Verdier Avenue (Daleen Thomas Law Office)
Additionally, section 64(3) of the LUB states that, "fascia signs must not exceed 0.6m in vertical
dimension if the message is displayed horizontally".... The proposed fascia sign would conform
to the Land Use Bylaw regulations.
Planning Department Comments:
The proposed fascia sign is consistent with the Development Permit Area Guidelines. The sign
would be unobtrusive, yet clearly legible from the road with contrasting colours.
The Development Permit would authorize the sign as being consistent with the municipal
bylaws. Staff note that this is a strata property; the business tenant and owner of the strata unit
have submitted the Development Permit application.
CONCLUSION:
Staff suggest that Council authorize Development Permit no. 3060-20-5/15 to permit the
proposed fascia sign.

Re:
Security Issuance - Fire Hall Debt
Priority:
Strategic
Operational
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Council approve borrowing from the Municipal Finance Authority of British
Columbia, as part of their 2015 fall issue, $8,523,540 as authorized through Loan
Authorization Bylaw No.1729, 2011 "Central Saanich Firehall Loan Authorization Bylaw"
and that the Capital Regional District be requested to consent to our borrowing over a
twenty-five (25) year term and include the borrowing in their security issuing bylaw.
BACKGROUND:
Council adopted Central Saanich Firehall Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 1729, 2011 on June 20,
2011. The bylaw authorized the borrowing of up to $8,895,727 for the purpose of acquiring land
and constructing a new main firehall at 1512 Keating Cross Road.
The approved budget for the fire hall project was approximately $9,275,000. Project
expenditures included both soft and hard costs as follows: acquisition of land and its
remediation; professional fees (architecture, engineering, legal, insurance, LEED certification,
permits and fees); construction of the building; off-site works (including utilities and roadwork);
landscaping and site finishing; and building furnishings (including telecommunications,
equipment and furniture). The land (and remediation) was purchased at a cost of approximately
$1,275,000 with subsequent construction and related project costs totaling approximately
$8,000,000.

To: Mayor and Council,
Re: Security Issuance - Fire Hall Debt
May 26, 2015
The land purchase has been financed through the use of accumulated surplus and the costs of
construction and related works were financed through a combination of short-term borrowing
(interest only) through the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA) in the amount of $5,500,000 and
general reserves/surplus. Following construction, the intent was to convert the amount of shortterm borrowing, cost of land acquisition and the construction financed through reserves/surplus.
Borrowing the full amount authorized by the loan authorization bylaw will not only convert the
short term borrowing of $5,500,000 but will also replenish the surplus and reserves used for the
project.
As part of the approved budget, council identified and provided a provision of approximately
$770,000 of the total costs for the fire hall project that would not be part of the long-term debt
but rather be financed through accumulated reserves and surplus. This amount included the
costs associated with environmental/remediation, site works (including site clearing and off-site
utilities), internal furnishings and miscellaneous costs (legal, insurance, etc.). Actual costs
associated with this part of the budget totaled only $605,719.
In addition to budget items identified above that would not be part of the long term borrowing,
the municipality received a grant associated with remediation to the lands and donations were
received to offset costs associated with the play equipment. The Federation of Canadian
Municipalities provided a grant of $98,517 and donations to the play equipment on site totaled
$49,223. These contributions further reduce the amount of long term debt conversion
necessary.
The final step required for converting the costs associated with the fire hall project to long-term
debt is the prescribed resolution council is considering as the recommendation to this report.
DISCUSSION:
Staff are recommending the conversion of long-term debt for all costs permissible under the
loan authorization bylaw for the following reasons:
1. Lending rates are at record low levels.
2. Replenishing the accumulated surplus and reserves from borrowing, provides available cash
in the reserves to maintain investment levels prior to the construction of the fire hall, and cash
available to support other land, buildings, etc., acquisitions/refurbishment/replacements 5-25
years out into the future.
3. Based upon the range of investment opportunities, the spread between investing and the
current MFA 2015 fall issue lending rate of 2.87% and investing at todays investment rate of
between 1.7% and 2.4% would be 1.17% and 0.47%. After locking into MFA borrowing debt,
should interest rates rise, there is potential to realize a lower cost to the District over the 10
years. See Schedule 'A' for further analysis.
4. At the District’s discretion, after 10 years, any amount repaid to MFA would reduce the debt
as well as the principal repayment and interest payment amounts.
Page 53 of 98
Re: Security Issuance - Fire Hall Debt
May 26, 2015
The 25 year debt, to which the interest rate is fixed for 10 years for the fall 2015 MFA issuance
is 2.87%. MFA typically then fixes the rate every 5 years thereafter for the following 15 years.
For budget purposes and to calculate costs over the 25 years of the debt, MFA recommend
using the indicative rate of 3.31%; we have used this to update the financial plan.
As a pooled investment, cash in excess of cash flow needs has historically exceeded the
current interest rate associated with the fire hall long term debt through the MFA. The current
gap however between the projected lending rate and investment rate ranges from 1.17% and
0.47%, or between $33,780 and $13,570 per year. The municipalities pooled investments
including surpluses, reserves, deferred revenues and other statutory reserves in the long term
have historically had a return of greater than 3% despite the past several years with low Bank of
Canada and financial institute posted rates.
Alternatively, Council may wish to convert only the amount that has been borrowed from the
MFA ($5.5 m) and consider that the remaining $3,083,660 has been contributed through surplus
and reserves. Internal funding is often used when surplus and reserves are sufficient to carry
such costs, without any adverse effects on other uses of the surplus/reserves. During the recent
budget deliberations council was informed of the flat-lined surplus/reserve balances and future
investments could be challenging without carrying appropriate balances.
Projections in the 2015-2019 financial plan had provision for annual principal and interest
payments on the full borrowing authorization (principal of $213,603 and interest of $325,000).
MFA have now provided rates for the fall 2015 debt issuance that is less than originally
projected ($204,606 principal and interest of $282,129) providing an overall financial plan saving
of $51,868 annually. Should Council choose to combine long-term debt issuance through the
MFA and internal borrowing, the adjusted amounts for principle and interest payments would
remain the same.
CONCLUSION:
The loan authorization bylaw authorized up to $8,895,727 to cover the costs for the fire hall
project. However, with some cost savings and additional revenue sources, it is only necessary
to convert $8,523,540 into long term debt. The difference between authorized and actual
borrowing needs equates to approximately $52,000 in annual debt servicing costs.
The debt issuance from the MFA comprises of the principal debt amount less an administrative
fee of approximately $51,000 (non-refundable) and an interest-bearing deposit of $85,235
(repayable at expiry of debt).

Re:
Tri Municipal Meetings Terms of Reference
Priority:
Strategic
Operational
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Council adopt the proposed Terms of Reference for Tri-Council Liaison meetings.
BACKGROUND:
Central Saanich, North Saanich and Sidney have a long standing practice of having tri-council
meetings to discuss matters of mutual interest. Currently, however, there are no terms of
reference (TOR) guiding the preparation and running of Tri-Council meetings. This has resulted
in a number of challenges including:
1. Over loaded agendas.
2. Too many delegations and presentations resulting in other important business not receiving
sufficient time for consideration.
3. A lack of agenda review and coordination to ensure items belong on a Tri-Council meeting.
4. A lack of clarity or consistency in agenda preparation.
5. Difficulty in establishing meeting dates.
6. Improperly convened meetings. With a quorum of Council members attending each meeting,
there is a legal requirement to convene the meeting as a committee or council meeting.
DISCUSSION:
To address the above issues, the Chief Administrative Officers from Central Saanich, North
Saanich and Sidney undertook to cooperatively prepare a common TOR for each council to
Phone: 250-652-4444 Fax: 250-652-0135
Page 56 of 98
Re: Tri Municipal Meetings Terms of Reference
June 09, 2015
consider and adopt. The attached proposed TOR address meeting frequency, identifies the host
municipality’s obligations, outlines the agenda preparation process and proposes a process for
the conduct of each meeting.
Tri-Council meetings provide an important and valuable opportunity for the three peninsula
municipalities to identify and work on matters of mutual interest, and demonstrate the
cooperative spirit which has been the foundation of the relationship between Central Saanich,
North Saanich and Sidney for many years. The proposed TOR are intended to make these
meetings more effective and consistent and provide clarity for administrative staff on the
process.
CONCLUSION:
The three CAO’s have collaboratively prepared the proposed TOR for Tri-Council meetings and
recommend its approval
ATTACHMENTS:
Appendix 'A' Draft Terms of Reference

Award of Wallace Drive Cycling Improvements Phase 1
Priority:
Strategic
Operational
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1) That the contract for the Wallace Drive Cycling Improvement Phase One between
Prosser Road and Blossom Park to be awarded to Chew Excavating Ltd. for the price of
$244,496 excluding taxes.
2) That the Mayor and Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contact attached as
Appendix A
3) That an additional $40,000 funded from the water utility reserve account, be allocated
to the project to maximize economies of scale in construction.
BACKGROUND:
District of Central Saanich Council has endorsed a strategic plan for 2015 which included the
widening of Wallace Drive between Prosser Road and Blossom Park to provide enhanced
cycling facilities. This project has received 100% funding from the Regional Gas Tax Fund in the
amount of $150,000.

Re: Award of Wallace Drive Cycling Improvements Phase 1
June 09, 2015
Council had previously allocated $60,000 from water utility reserves in the 2015 budget for
replacement of the water main servicing the area. This replacement had been included in the
tender as construction at the same time would result in anticipated cost savings of
approximately 15 to 20% due to economies of scale.
The tender was released on May 7th, 2015 and a site meeting was held on May 21st, 2015. The
invitation to tender closed on May 28th, 2015.
The invitation to tender resulted in the submission of 5 bids from contractors. The lowest bid
received from the invitation to tender was from Chew Excavating Ltd. at $244,496 before taxes.
DISCUSSION:
The District of Central Saanich Purchasing Policy requires that all expenditures exceeding
200,000 in value be authorized by Council.
The cycling improvements can be funded from the existing funds allocated for this purpose in
the budget. All expenses will be recovered at 100% from the Regional Gas Tax Fund.
The waterworks budget is recommended to be adjusted due to the significant economies of
scale from construction of waterworks and roadworks at the same time. The adjustment will
allow for replacement of existing services instead of reuse to lessen the likelihood of future
impact to the streetscape and reduce future maintenance costs.
CONCLUSION:
The District has concluded a competitive bidding process for the identified works and
construction of the road and water components has been coordinated to maximize cost savings.
Award of the contract will enable construction work to commence in July and conclude early in
September ensuring completion in advance of the November deadline identified in the Strategic
Plan.
Respectfully Yours,

RECOMMENDATIONS:
1) That Council authorize the Mayor and Corporate Officer to execute the agreement
attached as Appendix C to permit the encroachment of roof eaves and landscaping on
the municipal right-of-way.
2) That Council issue the Soil Removal permit attached as Appendix B
BACKGROUND:
On April 20th, Council approved that the calculation of Floor Area Ratio not include underground
storeys in the CD8 zone allowing for the construction of the mixed commercial and residential
development to proceed.
Subsequent to the Council approval the applicant has applied for and completed the demolition
of the existing house. The applicant has submitted plans for a building permit and these are
currently being reviewed by staff.
The review of the plans associated with the building permit has identified areas where roof
eaves and landscape features will encroach upon the municipal right-of-way. The applicant has
requested that the District permit these encroachments via an agreement for this purpose
similar to other recent developments.

Re: 7878 East Saanich Road- Encroachment Agreement and Soil Deposit Permit
Additionally, the applicants wish to proceed with excavation works and soil removal concurrently
with their building permit review in order to expedite the construction schedule. Council must
approve issuance of the soil removal permit as the volume exceeds 1,000 m3.
DISCUSSION:
Soil Removal:
The soil removal application conforms with the District's requirements as the applicant has
suggested vehicle routes that conform with the District's truck route bylaw and provided a traffic
management plan attached as Appendix A. It is recommended that the District require security
for impacts to the roads in addition to the standard soil removal and deposit fee along with
imposing other conditions as indicated in the draft permit attached as Appendix B.
Encroachment Agreement
The applicant's request for the District to consent to the proposed encroachments would be
anticipated based on execution of the agreement in Appendix C. This agreement utilizes the
District's standard template for these contracts. The visibility of the anticipated encroachment
may be further reduced based on the proximity of existing BC Hydro lines to the proposed
construction.
CONCLUSION:
The execution of the encroachment agreement and the issuance of the soil removal permit will
allow the applicant to proceed with necessary works prior to the issuance of the building permit
to expedite their construction timelines.

I'd like to comment on this weekend's lron Man
Bicycle race. lt seem ridiculous to me that we allow
any group to block access to San Pen Hospital
from the highway for over an hour. My wife sat in a
line-up on Mount Newton Cross Road for over an
hour,trying to get to the hospital for treatment for a
serious infection. She finally gave up and went
around another way. Why doesn't someone from
the bicycle support group wander down the line
and let people know that they will be held captive if
they stay there. There has to be somewhere else
that these people can do their bicycle rides that
doesn't block access to a hospital, I'm fed up with
the attitude that these bicyclists have that they own

I just wanted write to each of you to express my deep
dissatisfaction with my property tax increase yet again this
year. Three percent last year and four percent this year. As
of July we will be paying six hundred dollars ($600) more
this year for the privilege of living in Central Saanich. And
while I have your attention, I’m not sure how many of you
or for that matter if any of you drive around Central
Saanich all that much, I can tell you the roads are
becoming abysmal. But I did notice the back parking lot at
the Municipal Hall got a two inch recap of asphalt.
REALLY!! Don’t hesitate to reply to this email or call me.

2015 tax increase

The Corporation of the District
of Central Saanich
Dear Mayor and Councillors,
I read the 2015 "Budget Update" which explains the justification for the
4o/o
The justification blithely points to staff contractual wage and benefits as
accepting those increases in the first place.

property tax increase.
could not have done about
While i appreciate that SIa.f may have tried to take a zero-based approach; that is akin to asking employees to
set their own budget. Anybody who would believe that would result in azero increase has fairy dust on the
brain. Council should have set, and stuck by a zero increase.
Municipalities are employing too many staff and paying them too much. As an example, you are awate, police
services take up the highest percentage of tax revenue and yet there is little crime in CS to justify it (some of
you may have seen in the news lately how police budgets of many municipalities across Canada are hi-jacking
the lion's share of revenues - looks like CS also). Staff is obviously glad to get wage increases so that they can
pay the higher taxes.
Another small observation today saw two (well paid and well benefited) staff picking up garbage. Another
example of the excessively expensive services (euphemistically called "responsible ... services" in the Update).
Has anybody looked into comparable total costs (wages and benefits) in the private sector to truly determine
how responsible the services are?
You are also aware that, in general, the citizens who pay for the wages and benefits of municipal staff do not
have those high wages or benefits (and job security). So there is a big equity issue here.
I think councilor King did not vote for the tax increase; for which I am grateful, but I wonder if he could
comment on how much provincial staff increases compare to municipal (CS) increases in the last few years.
There is a lot to be done in the responsible services objective - now is the time to prepare for next years zero
based budget.
Sincerely,
Frank Witthoeft
