mini program (U6-U10) and contributing directly and through
the KS board to manage the youth soccer program (U11-U18
house program).
Kootenay South also manages a select (competitive) youth
soccer program made up of players from throughout the
region.

WHO PAYS FOR ROSSLAND YOUTH SOCCER?
Rossland Youth Soccer is entirely self funded
relying on no community grants. It is strictly
user pay and has asked for no handouts
Rossland Youth Soccer is trying to keep fees
affordable for all families
11 of 129
The Mini Program U6-U10
Each association provides 10 -12 weeks of
opportunity (1 hour twice a week)
This equals 20-24 hours of program in this age
group

Challenges facing RYS
• Short season due to location and
geography
• High field fees
• Poor shape of Jubilee

Short season due to location and
geography
•
Not much can be changed about that

18 of 129
High field fees $/child
• Castlegar Soccer $0
• BV Soccer $0
• Trail $3.60
• Rossland $8.50 per child for very limited field use
All other communities have more access to
considerably better fields for less cost than RYS pays
19 of 129
High Field fees
• All KSYSA clubs charge the same registration
fees
• That means that all other clubs have more $
•
available to them for their programs
For example all KS clubs have agree to hire the
Vancouver Whitecaps Kootenay to help support and
develop our volunteer coaches. This is a cost that
must be paid by the clubs and RYS must decide
between things like gear, jerseys because of the
higher cost we face
20 of 129
Poor shape of Jubilee
•
•
•
•
•
Low level locations leads to it being very wet
Playground for an elementary school leads to
the snow being hard packed and damaging to
the Turf
There are either several springs or there are
broken waterlines in the sprinkling system as
even during the heat of the summer there were
very wet and spongy locations
Less field time
Risk of injuries
21 of 129
So Why is Rossland Youth Soccer here and what do we
want?
1. To inform council what RYS is doing for the youth in our community &
bring awareness to the challenges that RYS faces
2. TODAY To ask council to bring RYS field fees in line with the other
communities in our association, waive fees for 2016 and refund 2015 fees
paid ($2150.93). This will cover 50% of the cost of our professional technical
direct for 2016
3. THIS YEAR Ask for the City of Rossland to commit to improving the fields
that we currently play on.
4. LONGER TERM Ask for the City of Rossland to support a long term
development goal of bringing a turf field to Rossland
22 of 129
Recap
• Please eliminate field fees for
• Please develop a repair plan to ensure
the Jubilee field is up to a certain
standard for play
• Support RYS to develop a long term
plan to bring a turf field for Rossland

OPERATIONAL DISCUSSIONS & PRESENTATIONS:
a) Asset Management Workshop, Mr. Doug Allin
Doug Allin, City of Grand Forks Chief Administrative Officer, provided a PowerPoint
presentation regarding asset management.
In response to questions from Council, Mr. Allin suggested the following:
• That the City host several public consultation periods to engage the public annually;
• That it may be effective to put the cost of taxes into perspective, such as by comparing to
other household bills;
• That having a Chief Administrative Officer who maintains a close working network with
other local governments could save a municipality money; and,
• That a municipality may be able to save money by contracting assets when needed, instead
of owning these assets and insuring them, depending on how often the asset is utilized.
Discussion ensued, and Council suggested the following:
• That most municipalities experience a capital gap, and there is often the need to upgrade or
implement a service; however, there is no funding to do so;
• That certain projects could be bundled within the municipality or inter-municipally, or
through multi-year bids; and,
• The City will be obtaining funds from grant money, which could aid in the development of
an asset management plan.

PROPOSAL:
SUBMITTED BY:
March 3, 2016
File No:
Street Light Conversion to LED
To Convert up to 40 Street Light in Pinewood to LED
Contracting CFO
SUMMARY:
LED street light technology has improved to the point where the economics of conversion has
become overwhelmingly in favor, with a relatively short payback. We have been following the
experience of Kelowna closely and they recently decided to convert all their street lights ASAP
on the basis that the energy savings alone justifies conversion. In addition, the existing Sodium
Vapour lamps have a life of 3-5 years compared to the LED with expected life of up to 15 years.
This greatly reduces the maintenance cost of the fixtures. Further the lumen output of the
sodium vapour lamps deteriorates substantially over its useful life whereas with LED
deterioration is more limited. This enables one to reduce the number of fixtures in place to
meet the level of lumen output desired.
DISCUSSION:
To reduce the cost of installation and allow issues related to dealing with the public and their
acceptance of the change, we propose to implement the conversion in a gradual manner and
test drive the process before returning to Council with an RCD for a complete conversion.
Trail recently had their electrician certified by Fortis for installation and we have discussed with
Fortis of having up to 2 Rossland qualified staff also certified. This would allow Rossland to
proceed in a timely manner and to test some of the features of LED lights. For example the
Phillips fixtures which Kelowna chose, following a year-long study, allow one to install “house
shields” which enable the light to be directed away from shining in peoples windows.
Further working with the light distributor we will need to verify that the light dispersion of the
LED fixtures is similar to the existing sodium vapour cobra heads.
Conversion is apparently relatively simple with the existing sodium vapour fixture being
removed and replaced with the LED. Fortis will insist that a fused disconnect be installed at the
same time but this is advisable in any event since the existing wiring is very old and should be
replaced. We will have a demonstration of what is involved in the next few weeks.
The cost of a 150 watt fixture is approximately $250 with the cost of installation being about
the same for a total installed cost of $500. The trial would obviously validate these costs and
the time required to install. The Pinewood subdivision has less than 40 street lights so the
estimated cost of this trial is less than $20,000.00. We suggest that a portion of the CARIP
funds set aside to encourage municipalities to move to carbon neutrality be used to fund this
study. Further we will include in the 2016-2020 capital budget the approximately $300,000
that may be required to convert all of Rossland street lights to LED.
It must be noted that some municipalities have gone the next step to install technology to
control the street lights with remote telemetry. This enables them to dim the lights at night
35 of 129
and have more control over the output and hence achieve greater energy savings. However,
not only is this a lot more expensive but requires technical resources which Rossland lacks. It is
suggested that for Rossland and similar small communities the simple conversion achieves the
majority of savings possible at the lowest cost. This could be further considered before we
bring the full conversion proposal to Council.
The price for the LED fixtures has been established by the Province to encourage Municipalities
to convert. It enables small communities such as Rossland to get the same buying power as
larger Cities. The distributor for Phillips fixtures for the Province is EBHorsman and it is they
that we have been dealing with to get a demonstration and various advice. In this regard,
Section #5 of the Purchasing, Consulting, and Publicly Tendered Contracts Policy #03-06, will
need to be waived by Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: That Council approves the conversion of up to 40 Street Lights
in the Pinewood Subdivision from Sodium Vapour to LED fixtures at a cost of up to $20,000,
funded by the existing CARIP reserve fund;
THAT Council selects the Phillips fixtures that were chosen by Kelowna following an extensive
trial;
THAT Section #5 of Policy #03-06, Purchasing, Consulting, and Publicly Tendered Contracts, be
hereby waived for the LED Street Light project.
Option 1: To adopt the staff recommendation and approved the trial conversion to enable
any unforeseen issues to be identified before we recommend conversion of all street lights
in the City.
Option 2: To direct staff to prepare the plan to complete conversion of all street lights in
the City at a cost of approximately $300,000.
Option 3: To do no conversion. The existing street lights work fine but do involve high
maintenance costs. Also, as the cost of energy in real terms increases annual energy costs
are increasing.
Option 1: The cost benefit analysis for converting all of Rossland lights is attached and clearly it
supports the case to convert. As explained above, we suggest the trial will enable staff to gain
more information and work out the bugs before returning with the proposal for a complete
conversion.
Option 2: Completing the final proposal will take time and we do not want to delay getting
staff training and installing some lights as time permits.
Option 3: If Rossland does not convert the medium and long term costs to the City will be
higher than converting. As with all capital expenditures, the initial cash outlay results in higher
costs but in this case the immediate savings quickly out ways the capital cost and within 4 years
bring lower total costs.
36 of 129
Use of the CARIP funds should neutralize the capital cost of the conversion. Hence this trial
should have a positive impact by reducing the cost of operating the street lights.

March 2, 2016
File No: 0471.01
RDKB Bylaw No. 1598 – Victims Assistance Service Amendment Bylaw
To Consent To An Increase In the Maximum Annual Requisition
SUMMARY:
The City of Rossland is a participant in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Victims
Assistance Service. The requisition required from all the service participants in 2015 was
$62,500. After a full review of the business case, the East End Services Committee has
approved funding that will allow for a 20 hour per week position. This will require an uplift in
funding for the service to a maximum annual requisition of $87,000 shared between all
participants. There are currently seven jurisdictions sharing the cost of this service, being
Electoral Area “A”, Electoral Area “B”, Rossland, Warfield, Trail, Montrose, and Fruitvale.
Increasing the requisition will require five out of seven consenting resolutions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION – Option 1 - Consenting Resolution Required
That the Municipal Council for the Corporation of the City of Rossland consents to the Regional
District of Kootenay Boundary Board of Directors adopting Bylaw No. 1598 being the “Regional
District of Kootenay Boundary Victims Assistance Service Amendment Bylaw No. 1598, 2016”.
Option 1:
Adopt the Consenting Resolution:
“That the Municipal Council for the Corporation of the City of Rossland consents to the Regional District
of Kootenay Boundary Board of Directors adopting Bylaw No. 1598 being the “Regional District of
Kootenay Boundary Victims Assistance Service Amendment Bylaw No. 1598, 2016”.
Option 2:
Receive this Report for Information.
Option 1:
Adopting this resolution will see the City of Rossland support the uplift in funding required for the
regional Victims Assistance service. Victim Services is a well-received service provided for all area
residents in need of assistance resulting from being a victim of crime. The benefit of this option is that
Council will support a service that provides direct service to residents of Rossland. Currently the part
time position requires a total maximum of $62,500 from all the participating partners (East End
jurisdictions). In order to fund the program at the level of 20 hours per week, there is a need to increase
the maximum requisition from $62,500 per annum to $87,000 per annum. The disadvantage to this
option is that it will cost the City of Rossland a small increase in the annual requisition.
Option 2:
39 of 129
While the advantage to this option may be viewed as keeping the status quo, with no increase
in
requisition, realistically, majority will rule. Should five out of the seven jurisdictions consent to the
adoption of the bylaw allowing for the uplift in the maximum requisition, the City of Rossland will
automatically be billed for their share of the uplift in cost.
Option 1
This option will see the City of Rossland’s portion of the requisition increase from that which was paid in
2015.
Option 2
This option may also see the City of Rossland’s portion of the requisition increase from that which was
paid in 2015, should five of the remaining service partners agree to the increase in requisition and adopt
the consenting resolution.
The City of Rossland, as part of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, participates in regional
services from time to time, the authority of which is outlined in legislation.

2016-2020 Budget
Notes to Capital Plan
Overview
AMP-The 2016- 2020 capital plan has been restructured by asset category to allow ready integration
into the asset management plan (AMP). The AMP will be updated later this year, assisted by the
$75,000 Government grant. An RFP will be issued to ensure we may engage some fully qualified party
to assist in this important task. The AMP will not assist in the decision regarding immediate capital
investments, however it will assist in prioritizing future capital investment. Further, it will enable the
City to determine the amount it should be setting aside annually to maintain the sustainability of the
system. Rossland is not unique in getting behind in the amount it invests annually to sustain its assets
and this is reflected in the 5 year plan where we must invest more to catch up.
Improve System Reliability. -While updating the AMP is important, even more crucial is that we make
the necessary investment to strengthen the integrity of the system. This capital plan will ensure that the
system is more reliable and easier to maintain. It will provide for greater single contingency and
ultimately ensure that water outages are less frequent and when problems occur they may be resolve
faster.
Context of Recent Capital Investment – The primary responsibility of a City is to provide safe and
reliable water and collect the waste and transport for treatment. In addition, it must provide a safe
transportation system that enables residents to go about their daily lives. With regards to water supply
Rossland has made some substantial investments which together with helpful topography ensure that
water may be delivered to town under many differing disaster scenarios.
The addition of Ophir Reservoir, together with improvements at Topping, Hanna and Murphy collection
points greatly enhance the stability of water supply. It also means that the system may be controlled to
operate on either reservoir enabling single contingency that would be the envy of many communities.
Following treatment, the water is pumped to the storage at Red that enables fire suppression even in
the event of a power outage. Finally, the assets that deliver water to town from Red Mountain are
relatively new and require little investment for many years. The upgrade of Washington Street furthers
this substantial investment to improve reliability of supply to the town. Once this is complete and
connected to Columbia upgraded facilities , we will have relatively new assets from water collection to
supply in the heart of the town.
Accounting Issues – An ongoing critique of accounting principles is that it only looks at historical data.
The provision for depreciation/amortization is derived by considering the historical investment and the
useful life of the asset to calculate a rate of consumption of the asset on an annual basis. This would
then be added to the annual O&M costs to derive the full annual cost of an asset. This is how you would
determine the cost of operating your vehicle. The problem is 2 fold, first you do not know exactly how
45 of 129
long your vehicle will last. Secondly, when you come to replace your vehicle the price of a new one will
have increased so that even if you have set aside depreciation funds you will be short.
This is the fundamental challenge of an AMP. The Municipality must calculate the amount it must
include in its cost structure to replace assets when they retire. In 2014, Rossland included in its
accounts $1.3 million for amortization to recognize the annual rate of consumption of the asset.
However this amount was likely low since the Current Replacement Cost of the asset will be a lot higher
than when it was installed 20/30 or more years ago.
Cyclical Nature of Capital Investment- On a year over year basis, capital investment due to major
projects, will often be rather lumpy and Rossland is experiencing a one off need for larger investment in
this 5 year plan. When you examine the rate of amortization it is somewhat low and this will likely be
validated by the AMP but it is likely less that the annual investment of $5 million called for in this plan.
Point being this surge in needed investment will likely reduce over time.
Preparation of the Capital Plan – the plan began with last year’s estimates updated with new
information. In 2016, it will be dominated by completion of the Washington Street Upgrade which will
go to tender in the next few days. Clearly the size of this project and the involvement of all senior staff
will affect the amount of other work that may be completed in the year.
Due to Washington Street and the Pipe Bridge, 2016 other projects will have to carefully consider
borrowing requirements and the effect in 2017 of the financing costs. The effect is that some projects
will be delayed from 2016 and the investment in 2017 will remain relatively high. 2019 and 2020
investment will be dominated by the Regional Sewer Investment. The project is absolutely essential, but
its timing and actual costs are uncertain particularly since the amount of grants for which it may qualify
is unknown..
Delay of Projects – Could certain projects be delayed and the obvious answer is Yes! The more
important question is what will be the consequence of the delay? In most cases, it will result in
increased O&M costs and the system will be less reliable. Further, it could lead to a backup of projects
limiting the ability to manage them with existing resources in a professional manner and ultimately
leading to higher cost.
Council must consider that staff has critiqued each projects with regard to cost and timing to ensure that
they are proposed in as efficient manner as possible.
Other important considerations as one considers the Capital Plan are as follows:1. Estimated Costs were developed from the best information available but obviously where
projects are tendered actual costs will only be known once the contract is awarded.
2. Regional Sewer -apart from the Washington St. Upgrade and the Regional Sewer Plant, we have
not included potential infrastructure grants. For Washington Street the grant is known but
actual cost not known until after tenders opened. For the sewer plant we have assumed up to a
46 of 129

11.
50% grant but the numbers clearly are rather soft. Despite the uncertainty of the numbers it is
very important that it be placed in the capital plan due to its significance for the City financial
planning.
Spokane Street - has been considered as 3 projects and could be phased over 3 years.
However, it is expected that substantial savings may be derived by doing the project in one year.
Further by grouping it and presenting it as a shovel ready major project, it may enhance our
ability to qualify for grants.
System Stability - in addition to the major projects listed, it is important to improve the stability
of the mains water system. When crews go to shut a valve and it does not operate one
jeopardizes service to many customers which can be unacceptable. The budget provides for
gradual replacement of valves hence improving reliability and enabling greater control over the
system.
Bin Wall – If this road and wall are to be rebuild by Highways it makes economic sense to
upgrade the water and sewer this year. If not the project will cost significantly more when it
must be done in the next 2-5 years.
I&I Reconditioning – to further reduce the waste water flowing to the regional sewer system
and hence lower our cost allocation it is proposed to invest in ongoing upgrade to sewer pipes
and manholes. We will be able look to validate this investment by way of a simple business
case.
Star Gulch Recreation –the investment of $160,000 put in as a place holder in the event that
some grant money may be available.
Road Paving – this investment of $75,000 is somewhat discretionary but it is important to
maintain the streets in a reasonable state of repair. Due to the magnitude of the 5 year capital
investment some projects may have to be rescheduled by year due to capital constraints and
ability to borrow.
Lighting – we expect that the trial LED street light conversion will confirm that this project has a
high cost benefit and will result in net savings to tax payers. However we suggest it still may be
expedient to allocate the capital costs principally over 3 years.
Fleet – it is necessary to continually upgrade the fleet to provide for reliability and retire vehicles
at the end of their useful life. It may be necessary to consider returning to leasing the vehicles if
the City is capital constrained. Lease versus Buy analysis should be performed from time to time
in any event to ensure the City achieves the lowest cost of capital.
Buildings – the capital costs budgeted are more discretionary as to amount and timing.
However capital investment in the buildings is essential or they will fall into unacceptable state
of repair.
City Hall- the building is generally sound but the interior requires updating. One may appreciate
the public sensitivity to this issue but for example the flooring is becoming a safety issue, the
washrooms are unacceptable and with interior redesign additional offices could be created.
Miners Hall – the City contribution to this project was originally estimated at $350,000 but this
increased to $450,000. However, it is assumed that we use $100,000 from the land sale reserve
to offset this increased cost.
47 of 129
Public works – with the loss of the Emcon building presently used for storage, some facility will
need to be constructed at public works.
Museum – costs are uncertain until the state of the roof can be examined in the spring. The
$45,000 capital cost in 2016 will be taken from the reserve.
Arena – in the near while considerable capital will be required to operate the arena. This may
lead to reconsideration of its long term use but for capital planning purposes the potential
needs have been included.
12. Other - the retaining wall at 1st and Queen must be addressed but timing is uncertain.
Also the timing and cost of Red Mountain entrance and upgraded sidewalks have yet to be
finalized. Further the upgrade of the tennis courts on park street is a discretionary cost that
could be deferred.
Information Systems – this may require a study to determine City needs since the present
system is not as reliable as it should be. The cost estimate includes the purchase of new
computers etc. where necessary.
Summary
The total capital requirements of approximately $25 million over the next 5 years will present a real
challenge to a City with such a small tax base. The majority of the capital cost is essential and could only
be deferred by a short period if at all.
Funding of capital of this magnitude will require a delicate balance between increases in property taxes
and cost reductions. The size of the cost reductions are such that the extent of services offered by the
City will have to be reexamined. With taxes already relatively high, the public may have limited
tolerance for further increases that will be essential.
It may be helpful to develop a definition of critical essential services that must be delivered by the City
to ensure a reasonable quality of life. Viewed through such a lens one may be able to distinguish
between essential basic services (the reason why municipalities were formed in the first place) and
discretionary services. It is the discretionary services that may have to be reduced to ensure that taxes
are not increased above the tipping point where certain residents have no choice but to relocate to
neighboring communities with lower taxes.

REPORT/RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL
DATE: February 26, 2016
FILE: 3060.20 / 01-2016
SUBMITTED BY: Stacey Lightbourne
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION – THE CREST – LOT C – VALHALLA TCE
PURPOSE:
To review the Development Permit application (Attachment #1) for the proposed triplex on the
property legally described as LOT C TP 28 KOOTENAY DISTRICT PL NEP81732 (PID 026-784-505);
located on Valhalla Terrace.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT the City issue a Development Permit for the proposed triplex on the property legally described
as LOT C TP 28 KOOTENAY DISTRICT PL NEP81732 (PID 026-784-505), located on Valhalla Terrace,
subject to the following conditions:
(A) THAT the dimensions and siting of the building to be constructed shall be in substantial
accordance with the information shown on the application drawings, dated February 25, 2016
as provided by the applicant and shall comply with Development Permit Area 2: Red Mountain
guidelines.
(B) THAT the applicant meet the requirements for sedimentation prevention, drainage and
erosion control plans, maintenance schedules, storm water management, habitat
management as described in the OCP.
(C) THAT the applicant post with the City a landscape performance security deposit in the
form of a letter of credit in the amount of 125% of the estimated value of the elements shown
in the Landscape Concept Plan dated February 2016.
(D)THAT the applicant meet all geo-technical requirements as determined by the City, as
directed in Section 33.3. of the OCP.
(E)THAT the rear setback be reduced from 3 metres to 2 metres to integrate the development
with the site.
OPTIONS & ALTERNATIVES:
1)
THAT Council issues the Development Permit for the proposed triplex, with additional
conditions.
2)
THAT Council refer the application back to staff for additional information on the application.
3)
THAT Council not issue a Development Permit for the proposed triplex.
51 of 129
Option 1: This option supports the staff recommendation but gives Council the opportunity to add
additional conditions that may not be addressed in the recommendation. Development Permit
conditions can only be imposed when they relate to the guidelines contained within the OCP.
Option 2: Referring the item back to staff would present the applicant with an unnecessary delay in
the application. A Development Permit application need only satisfy the guidelines set out in the
relevant Development Permit Area within the OCP. Staff have thoroughly reviewed the proposal to
ensure there are no issues with the application. The application is fairly straightforward in its intent.
Option 3: If the application meets the guidelines in the OCP then the City cannot deny a development
permit application.
ANALYSIS:
Proposed Development:
The applicant is proposing a residential building containing three apartments-one 3 bedroom
apartment per floor and basement parking. This will be the first building constructed on this site but
there is capacity for a second building & an area has been set aside for this future development.
The site is bounded by the Red Mountain ski run (Aladars Alley) on the south west and by Valhalla Tce
to the east. There is a moderate slope across the lot east to west following the slope of Valhalla Tce.
The lot has been cleared at some stage in the past and in recent years a mound of fill and rock has
been left on the southern end. There is alder and some large cottonwood trees on the site but as
cottonwoods are shallow rooted trees they are not suitable close to buildings so they will be
removed. It is possible the grade of the site has been altered over time and does not contain a stream
or fish habitat.
The proposal is located in Development Permit Area 2-Red Mountain, which is established for the
protection of the natural environment, its ecosystems and biological diversity; protection of
development from hazardous conditions; and to regulate the form and character of development in
the Red Mountain base area.
DP Form and Character
The 3 storey building with basement parking has been designed to reduce the overall building mass
via stepping the facade in and out & varying the roofline with multiple gables at different heights.
Also making use of the moderate slope the basement parking will be cut into the slope. The south
end will be below grade & the north ‘’daylight basement’’ end will have the garage doors. The access
from the road will be relatively level. Access to the ski hill will be via a landscape ramp.
Snow storage & visitor parking is adjacent to the driveway at this stage and when the remainder of
the lot is developed the location of the snow storage & visitor parking will be relocated. Screened
garbage & recycling bins will be provided at the entry on Valhalla Tce. The garbage and recycling
centre will also be used by the building proposed on the other lot.
All the roofs on the building will be asphalt shingle with snow anchors so all entry ways will be
protected. The materials proposed are horizontal hardie board (gray &chestnut), painted cement
board (cream) and metal siding (rust red) which reflect materials used at the base lodge but in this
52 of 129
case they are used with the more traditional building style and roofline which blends the more
modern material selection with a traditional gable roof building. All materials are chosen for low
maintenance.
The landscaping has been design to be native and have low water requirements. It will comprise of
granite boulders, a dry river bed and low shrubs. Low maintenance grasses will be used on the ski hill
side to blend the development into the surrounding.
The application was not sent to the City’s design consultant because the building design is very similar
to other buildings previously approved by the design consultant. Staff have reviewed the drawings
and have determined that the building complies with the Red Mountain Design Guidelines. (Schedule
H: Official Community Plan).
The Local Government Act (Section 920(2)) permits Council to vary regulations of a zoning bylaw
within a development permit providing that the variance does not alter use or density and is related
to OCP Guidelines. The applicant would like to vary the rear setback from 3 metres to 2 metres. This
will enable the building to integrate into the surrounding landscape and because the rear of the
property is adjacent to a ski run and a City Statutory Right of Way for the water line, the reduced
setback will not impact the surrounding uses.
DP Environmental protection
The lot is partially cleared and consists of a large mound of rock and soil with some cottonwood trees
that will be removed for the development.
There are no creeks that run through the property and there is a connection to the City’s storm water
system. Screenings and sedimentation controls will be in place where necessary to minimize off-site
impacts (mainly due to stormwater runoff during building).
DP Hazardous Conditions
As a building code requirement, the applicant will be required to provide a certified report from a
geo-technical engineer. Upon commencement of excavation activities, staff can determine whether
additional certification will be needed to satisfy the DP guidelines.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the application satisfies the applicable OCP Development Permit Area guidelines and
City Council should approve the Development Permit with the conditions identified in the
recommendation. City staff reminds Council that a Development Permit application need only satisfy
the guidelines set out in the relevant Development Permit Area within the OCP, and that
development permit conditions can properly be imposed with this limited range of guidelines. If the
application meets the guidelines in the OCP then the City cannot refuse a development permit
application. Staff will ensure compliance with zoning bylaw prior to the issuance of a building permit.

‘The Crest’ DEVELOPMENT PERMIT application Description of proposed development. NEP81732 The proposed development is a 3 plex apartment building at the junction of Olaus way and the ski hill. This will be the first building constructed on this site but there is capacity for a second building & an area has been set aside for this future development. The site is bounded by the Red Mountain ski run (Aladars Alley) on the south west and by Olaus way to the east. There is a moderate slope across the lot east to west following the slope of Olaus way. The lot has been cleared at some stage in the past, in recent years a mound of fill and rock has been left on the southern end. There is alder and some large cottonwood trees on the site but as cottonwoods are shallow rooted trees they are not suitable close to buildings so they will be removed. It is possible the grade of the site has been altered over time, in general the site is not a pristine natural environment and does not contain a stream or fish habitat. For this site the aim has been to construct 2 smaller buildings rather than one large development. This enables a gradual transition from the ski hill to the residential area and allows sunlight & views between buildings instead of one large building blocking views to other homes & creating a massive shadow. The location of this first building is at the southern end of the lot maximising solar gain for the residents and views to the south. The 3 storey building with basement parking has been designed to reduce the overall building mass via stepping the facade in and out & varying the roofline with multiple gables at different heights. Also making use of the moderate slope the basement parking will be cut into the slope. The south end will be below grade & the north ‘’daylight basement’’ end will have the garage doors. The access from the road will be relatively level. Access to the ski hill will be via a landscape ramp. The main entry is at basement level so that it is convenient to the users arriving by car and to reduce exterior stairs that will need constant snow clearing. Skiers coming from the hill will also use this main entrance which will have ski storage. An alternative street level entry is provided at the second stair. All the roofs will be asphalt shingle and snow holding with snow anchors so there will be no snow falling from the roof at any of the entries. Snow storage & visitor parking is adjacent to the driveway at this stage, when the remainder of the lot is developed the location of the snow storage & visitor parking will be relocated. Screened garbage & recycling bins will be provided at the entry on Olaus way – see landscape plan. The landscaping has been designed to be native and have low water requirements. It will comprise granite boulders, a dry river bed and low shrubs which should also make it low maintenance. The use of the dry river bed will act as a retention pond and reduce run off at times of heavy snow melt. On the ski hill side grasses similar to those found on the ski run will be used blend the development into the surroundings. 55 of 129
‘The Crest’ DEVELOPMENT PERMIT application The materials proposed are horizontal hardie board (gray &chestnut), painted cement board (cream)& metal siding (rust red) which reflect materials used at the base lodge but in this case they are used with the more traditional building style and roofline which blends the more modern material selection with a traditional gable roof building. All materials are chosen for low maintenance 56 of 129

IT Acceptable Use Policy
To Adopt An IT Acceptable Use Policy
SUMMARY:
On January 11, 2016 Council directed Staff to develop an Acceptable Technology Use Policy for the City
of Rossland. The proposed policy is attached for Council’s consideration.
The purpose of any Acceptable Use policy is to clearly communicate the City’s expectations of
acceptable use of the city’s computer networks and other electronic media and services. All electronic
communications carry a “signature” which can be traced back to the City and to the individual. It is
important therefore to ensure all users of City electronic equipment are aware that any action taken on
city equipment must be the highest of ethical standards.
The policy expressly outlines unlawful activity and unacceptable activity, and the user responsibilities,
for becoming familiar with this policy and adhering to it.
The policy will apply to all users of city electronic equipment, city networks and other electronic media
and services. The policy will apply to all bargaining unit employees, management staff, contractors, and
Members of Council. The City has an obligation to ensure compliance with this policy. The policy will
need to be signed off by every employee whose signature on the document will signify that they have
read the policy and agree to abide by it. In this regard, we have discussed the draft policy with all
employees, and even consulted with representative employees of the bargaining unit to ensure that the
City’s position will be acceptable. Each of these representative employees have responded that they
have no issues with the policy in its presented form.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Option 1:
Option 1:
Option 2:
That Council refers the IT Acceptable Use Policy back to Staff for revision with Council’s identified
changes.
Option 1:
The benefit to this option is that the policy drafted, has been previously discussed with city staff to
ensure that the employees are comfortable with it. Discussing it ahead of time allows the employees to
70 of 129
have input into the policy and will ultimately allow for employee ownership of the policy itself. The only
disadvantage to this option is that may have a different view and want the policy amended. In this
regard Option 2 will be preferable.
Option 2:
The benefit to this option is that it will allow Council to make changes to the policy prior to adoption.
The only disadvantage would be if these particular changes were unacceptable to Employees for some
reason. Council could still proceed with the adoption of the policy; however, there may not be the same
acceptance from Staff.
Option 1
There is no direct cost to adopting policies. Implementing the policy as far as monitoring is concerned
may require services from IT professionals, the costs of which are unknown at this time.
Option 2
The same as Option 1.
The City adopts policies from time to time, which relate to expectations the City may have in regards to
employees and others who are involved in city operations.

POLICY STATEMENT:
City of Rossland Employees, Management Staff and Members of Council all have
access to a number of electronic media and services, including but not limited to
telephones, computers, electronic mail, voice-mail, and the World Wide Web. Use of
the City’s electronic media and services by employees and others is permitted for
conducting business related to departmental programs and services; and for personal
use only when such use is on personal time, is not for financial gain, and does not add
to the costs of the City of Rossland.
POLICY PURPOSE:
The purpose of this policy is to clearly communicate the City’s expectations of
acceptable use of the department electronic networks, and to provide information and
examples about unacceptable or unlawful activity, which is not permitted. It is important
to note that generally all electronic communications carry a signature, in that it can be
traced back to the City and often to the individual. Therefore, anything which is done,
involving any of the electronic tools must bear this fact in mind. Communications should
be in the same tone and with the same professionalism that we would expect in face-toface discussions with any member or colleague. A further purpose of this policy is to
ensure that departmental electronic networks are used in a manner consistent with this
policy. Any violations of this policy will not be tolerated and will be dealt with quickly
and fairly.
POLICY APPLICATION:
This policy applies to all City employees, and others who have been provided a
departmental account to access the electronic networks, including specified period
employees and students, and contract workers. It extends to situations away from the
workplace such as telework or remote access, including home PC’s, during and outside
working hours where the departmental electronic networks are used.
72 of 129

is necessary to assess system or network performance, protect City resources or
ensure compliance with City policies.
6. Access to Information
Employees should be aware that the City’s firewalls, gateway and systems record which
web sites and electronic mail addresses were contacted and which computer within the
system made the visit or sent the message. The public could request access to these
records under the Freedom of Information Act. This access could embarrass both the
individual and the City, depending on the nature of the site visited. The City would have
to comply with the provisions of the Act.
Electronic Communications Systems - Employee Acceptable Use Form
I certify that I have read the Information Technology Policy for Acceptable Use of
Internet, Email, Password, and Information Transmittal & Remote Access (End User
Regulation) Statement and agree to act in accordance with it. I understand that any
breach of the foregoing provisions may be cause for disciplinary actions.

SUBJECT: ZONING AMENDMENT – 2615A Railway St
PURPOSE:
To advance the application for a zoning amendment for the lot legally described as LOT 1 SECTION 35
TOWNSHIP 9A KOOTENAY DISTRICT PLAN 8161, PID 013-371-193; located at 2615A Railway St to
allow the home to be used as a guest house.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council advance the application for a zoning amendment for the property legally described as
LOT 1 SECTION 35 TOWNSHIP 9A KOOTENAY DISTRICT PLAN 8161, PID 013-371-193; located at 2615A
Railway St by giving First and Second Reading to Zoning Amendment Bylaw # 2607, and schedule a
public hearing on April 11, 2016 with the following condition:
1. THAT a sign be posted by the applicant on the site stating the intent and purpose of the
rezoning application, within 7 days of the first reading of Bylaw #2607 in accordance with the
City of Rossland Development Procedures Guidelines;
1) THAT the City deny the request.
2) THAT the City refer the item back to staff for further review.
3) THAT the City advance the staff recommendation.
Option 1: Denying the request does not allow for fair consideration of applicant’s proposal.
Option 2: Referring the item back to staff would present the applicant with an unnecessary delay in
the application. Staff have thoroughly reviewed the proposal to ensure there are no issues with the
application. The application is fairly straightforward in its intent.
Option 3: Supporting the staff recommendation would set the public hearing, which in turn allows
the City an opportunity to hear from adjacent property owners and the general public. The
application fits OCP criteria for guest homes.

Summary of Proposal:
The applicant has a secondary suite (515 sq ft) and would like to rent it out as a short term vacation
rental.
Official Community Plan(OCP) and Zoning:
The zoning bylaw contains a sub-zone GH (Guest Home) which can be applied to any R1, R1 Infill and
R1 Rural Residential zone. A guest home means a residence not occupied by the owner that is rented
out for short term vacation stays. In evaluating Guest House rezoning applications, the OCP states:
18.3.14. Consider Guest House rezoning applications in those areas with the following criteria:
i. The density of Guest Homes in the vicinity of the property which is being proposed to be rezoned
for Guest Home use;
ii. The road network and parking issues that may exist or arise in the vicinity of the property which is
being proposed to be rezoned for Guest Home use; and
iii. Future land use changes which may occur in the vicinity of the property which is being proposed to
be rezoned for Guest Home use in light of objectives and policies of the Official Community Plan.
Density: The density of guest homes in a neighbourhood is an important consideration as empty
homes and numerous short term visitors can be a detriment to the neighbourhood. In this case,
there are no guest houses in the immediate area. The nearest home zoned for guest house use is
2410 Fourth Ave on the corner of Butte and Fourth but it does not appear that this home is actually
being used for this purpose. There are two homes zoned for guest house use on St Paul and Fifth but
neither are being currently used as a guest house. Lower Rossland contains four properties zoned as
a guest home, Upper Rossland contains ten and Happy Valley contains one.
77 of 129
Land Suitability and Neighbourhood Impact:
This is a newly constructed home accessed from a maintained alley off Railway St. The home has a
detached secondary suite (515 sq ft) with more than enough parking on site to accommodate both
the single family use and the guest suite. Rezoning this property to allow guest house use in this
location would not generate an increase in traffic substantial enough to disrupt the flow on this road
and alley.
This house is located within other residential zones so a guest house is a compatible use. Future
vacationers will enjoy its close proximity to the trails on KC and surrounding area.
Operations and Servicing:
The Operations Manager has no objections to the proposed zone.
Strategic Sustainability Plan Objectives:
One Focus Area of the Strategic Sustainability Plan supports this application.
1. Housing & Affordability: Affordability through diversity, efficiency, innovation and flexibility
Budget Implications
The new zone may increase assessed value on the property, therefore increasing the taxes received.
Guest House History
In 2003 the guest house subzone was introduced to the zoning bylaw as a way to control the use of
residential homes as vacation properties. Several properties were zoned for this use shortly after the
bylaw was introduced. In January 2007, Council passed a resolution imposing a moratorium on any
new applications for guest houses. The reasons for this were based on the number of guest houses
and also the fact that many of the homes with that subzone were not being used for such a purpose.
Currently there are 15 properties zoned as guest house and only a few are actually being used for this
purpose. Staff will be investigating alternative methods for regulating guest homes so that it reflects
actual use of the property.
Conclusion
This application fits the guest house criteria specified in the OCP and the property is a good fit for a
guest house. Staff recommends advancing this application for a zoning amendment and scheduling a
public hearing to hear directly from the neighbours and general public.

SUBJECT: ZONING AMENDMENT – R-5 RESIDENTIAL RESORT MIXED DENSITY Zone
PURPOSE:
To advance the application for a zoning amendment for the R-5 RESIDENTIAL RESORT MIXED DENSITY Zone to
reduce the maximum parcel size and to reduce the interior side setback for a multiple family dwelling.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council provide First and Second Readings to Bylaw # 2608 and set a Public Hearing for April 11, 2016.
1. THAT Council provide First and Second Readings to Bylaw # 2608 and set a Public Hearing for April 11,
2016.
2. THAT Council refer the item back to staff so additional information can be provided.
3. THAT Council not provide First and Second Readings to Bylaw # 2608.
Option 1: Providing First and Second Readings to Bylaw #2608 and setting a Public Hearing advances the staff
recommendation and allows the City an opportunity to hear from adjacent property owners and the general
public.
Option 2: Referring the item back to staff allows for more time for staff to answer any questions that Council
may have.
Option 3: Not advancing the bylaw means the applicant will not be able to proceed with the current proposal.
COSTS AND BUDGET IMPACTS – REVENUE GENERATION: N/A
ANALYSIS:
Proposed Development:
The proposal for this site at the junction of Valhalla Tce and the ski hill is to construct 2 smaller buildings rather
than one large development. The first building is located on the southern portion of the lot and contains three
apartments; one 3 bedroom apartment per floor and basement parking.
In order to accommodate this development the applicant is asking to reduce the rear setback from 4m to 2m,
the interior side setback from 4m to 3m and to reduce the minimum parcel size from 750 m2 to 450m2. A
zoning amendment is required to alter the minimum parcel size, because density cannot be varied with a
development variance. The setbacks can be altered with a variance (or development permit) but when
evaluating the proposal it is prudent to analyze whether this is a variance that is just required because of
particular characteristics of the property or whether it is relevant to the entire zone.
The interior side setback change (4m to 3m) is relevant to the entire zone so forms part of this recommended
zoning bylaw amendment but the rear setback variance from 3 metres to 2 metres forms part of the
84 of 129
Development Permit application because it is relevant to the OCP Development Permit Guidelines and is only
appropriate to this property (not the whole R5 Zone) because the rear of the property is adjacent to a ski run
and a City Statutory Right of Way for the water line.
Proposed R5 Zoning Amendments:
The intent of the R5 zone is to allow mixed housing types within a common neighbourhood featuring short
term tourist accommodation. The R5 zone is located on the built up area along Olaus Way and on unbuilt lots
on Valhalla Tce as well as near the clubhouse at Redstone. (Attachment #1)
R5 zone permits single family, duplex and multiple family uses. The proposed changes only impact the
multiple family developments so these are the regulations outlined below.
Parcel Size:
The existing minimum parcel size is 750 sq m (8073 sq ft). While this parcel size is common to most of the
other multiple family zones, reducing it to 450 sq m will not have a negative impact. The current lot size of
1235.87 sq m (13,303 sq ft) enables a large multifamily building or several smaller multiple family buildings,
depending on the configuration of the buildings. Locating more than one multiple family dwelling on one lot,
each built at a different time, can require costly legal and logistically complicated phased strata
documentation.
The density of the zone is not related to the size of the parcel; rather it is a total number that can be
distributed in any way over a number of parcels. Other regulations in the zone such as setbacks, height,
building parcel coverage and floor area ratio act to limit the density and therefore the impact on neighbouring
properties. Lowering the minimum parcel area to permit a smaller subdivision does not alter the density of
the development and allows the developer to proceed with a simpler process.
Setbacks:
The existing setbacks are:
The applicant is requesting an interior side setback reduction from 4m to 3m. As this zone is intended to be
more dense with mixed housing types, reducing the interior setback to 3 metres should not negatively impact
existing or future developments. There will be an interior setback on either side of adjoining parcels so the
separation between developments will still be sufficient for privacy, views and sun exposure.
Permitted uses: The permitted uses in the zone have not changed.
Height: Height (13m) has not changed.
Coverage: The building parcel coverage (50%) and surface parcel coverage (60%) have not changed.
Floor Area Ratio: The floor area ratio(1.0) has not changed.
Official Community Plan(OCP):
Land Use Designation:
The R5 zone is located within the Resort Residential land use designation. The intent of this land use
designation is to support mixed density residential and small scale commercial that supports the ski and golf
resort.
85 of 129
The following policies from the Resort Residential Land use designation are relevant and support this proposal.
• Encourage development that supports and enhances resort recreation opportunities and experiences
• Encourage development that is clustered to promote protection of sensitive lands.
• Encourage integration of alternate transportation methods such as walking, skiing and cycling, into the
design of developments.
Development Permit Area:
This particular development is located in the Red Mountain Development Permit Area (OCP-Section 33) which
is established for the protection of the natural environment, its ecosystems and biological diversity; protection
of development from hazardous conditions; and to regulate the form and character of development in the Red
Mountain Resort Area.
The applicant has applied for a Development Permit which is the subject of another report for Council to
consider. The rear setback variance from 3 metres to 2 metres forms part of the Development Permit
application because it is relevant to the OCP Development Permit Guidelines and is only appropriate to this
property (not the whole R5 Zone). The rear of the property is adjacent to a ski run and a City Statutory Right of
Way for the water line, so the reduced setback will not impact the surrounding uses.
Operations and Servicing:
The proposed zoning amendment will not impact operations and servicing.
Initial Internal and External Referrals:
Regional Fire Chief: No concerns.
Operations Manager: No concerns.
Building Inspector: No concerns. Setbacks are still adequate for limiting distance between buildings.

MEMORANDUM
FILE: 110.04/2016
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBMITTED BY: Darrin Albo, Manager of Operations
SUBJECT: Rainbow Crosswalk and Flag
The City will permit a flag to be hung at City Hall as long as the flag is supplied to the City and
replacements are supplied when required.
In regards to a rainbow crosswalk, it will need the key elements of standard width white
reflective bordering so it is recognized by motorists and the traffic line paint must be used with
an anti-skid material to avoid slippery wet conditions. During installation to ensure a safe
working area for the painters, they will need to hire flaggers to direct traffic.
Council should also be aware of the increased maintenance costs of the crosswalks as paint
usually only lasts one summer and needs to be re-done every year. If council wants to continue
with the rainbow colors in the future years then the group must be aware of the ongoing
commitment to the project.
Thank you

SUBMITTED BY: Darrin Albo, Manager of Operations
SUBJECT: Museum Renovation Contract Administration
The Museum Capital that is scheduled for 2016 will require a Contract Administrator to
oversee the renovations. The City will have the availability to provide this service in-house as it
is a fairly small project that requires many short inspections that can be achieved with a cost
advantage by one of the City’s employees. Conducting this service in-house will save the City
paying travel time and wages to Fairbanks Architect as what they have proposed.
Thank you

For the Attention of: Mayor Kathy Moore & Council
From: The Rossland Mountain Market Society
February 5th, 2016
I am writing this letter to you on behalf of the Rossland Mountain Market Society and in regards
to our 2015 – 2016 Winter Farmers’ Market series held at the Miner’s Hall this winter. We hosted three
fabulous events in November, December and January. This letter is to request support from the City of
Rossland for these events by assisting us with our rental fees for the Hall. Our total rental cost for these
three events is $547.50. We are asking that the City of Rossland consider supporting our Winter
Farmers’ Market by waiving these fees, thereby providing the Hall as a donation of support.
Our Winter Farmers’ Market series is extremely successful, very well attended and recently
rated by our vendors as one of the best, if not the best, winter farmers’ market in the Kootenay’s.
November’s event brought in approximately 700 visitors, December approximately 700 visitors and
January approximately 1000+ visitors. These visitors join us not only from the community of Rossland,
but also from Trail, Montrose, Fruitvale, Castlegar, Christina Lake and Grand Forks. Folks come to visit
this indoor farmers’ market because it is one of only a few places to access locally grown and produced
foods throughout the winter.
We surveyed our vendors after our January 30th market, in an attempt to paint a vivid picture of
the benefits this market series provides. Of particular note, are the economic benefits our vendors are
experiencing. Our local Farm vendors are making $700 - $1000 profit per busy market (busy markets
vary per vendor, but this was typically November and January’s markets), and are making a minimum of
$350 profit per slower market. Each Farm vendor explained how beneficial it is to them to have an
outlet to sell their product in the winter months, as often they don’t have an outlet and thus can’t sell
their product very successfully, and essentially lose a source of income for much of the year.
To further express the importance of this Winter Market Series, many, if not all, of our regular
attending local Farms are now planning to have product available in the winter months because we have
provided them with a consistent and excellent outlet to sell to the community. We have spoken multiple
times with Farms who are planning their winter crops right now for next year’s indoor market series.
Our Farmers’ Market is strengthening the food security of Rossland and nearby area by providing
consistent access to local food year round for community members and by providing a consistent outlet
for Farmers and Food Producers to sell their products. Our Winter Farmers’ Market will continue to
improve and grow as we begin to see more and more locally grown and produced foods throughout the
winter.
Our Winter Farmers’ Market series has been so successful, that there are now 2 other
communities who have created monthly winter farmers’ markets based on the way we at the Rossland
Mountain Market have organized and established our events. These communities are Nelson and
Creston, typical leaders in the Kootenay farmers’ market world. Our Market Society is striving to provide
101 of 129
the absolute best farmers’ market that we can for our community, and it is apparent that in many
regards we are proving to be successful in achieving this goal.
The 2014 – 2015 Winter Farmers’ Market series included 5 events, rather than 3. With the
closing of the Miner’s Hall for renovations we have lost our market venue for February, March and April.
We have tried without much success in finding a new location, and our vendors have voiced their
concern for this – they’re sad to miss their market in Rossland for the next few months. Due to a lack of
location for Feb, Mar, and April we lose our market revenue for these months, which would total $1380.
Our first season of indoor winter markets saw a total revenue of $2300. This indoor winter
season, 2015 – 2016, saw a total revenue of about $1300. We use this revenue to pay for advertising;
miscellaneous supplies for signage, clean up and the RMMS table; musicians / entertainment; and when
possible, for an honorarium for our Market Manager and volunteers.
As we stand at this point, we have just enough leftover revenue to pay the rental fees for these
3 events, should we not receive support from the City of Rossland. This is with only paying out an
honorarium to our Market Manager for the month of November. As we stand, December’s and January’s
events were organized and run strictly on volunteers, who collectively donated more than 85 hours of
their time to make these events successful.
Last year, with the extra revenue we gained from having the ability to host 3 extra indoor
markets, not only were we able to pay the remaining portion of the hall rental fees after the gracious
and much appreciated support offered by the City of Rossland, we were also able to pay our Spring /
Summer market ‘business’ expenses, which included our Business License ($50), BCAFM Membership
Fee ($200) and insurance for the year ($350), and on top of all of that we still had remainder left over to
payout an honorarium to the Market Manager for all 5 markets. This year we are just shy of being able
to afford our Spring/Summer business expenses, and that is if our rental fees for the Miner’s Hall are $0.
We realize that we have the ability to apply for grants to help us cover these ‘business’ type
expenses this year. We don’t want to do that. We are working so hard to become a sustainable Farmers’
Market and we believe we can better utilize granting opportunities for this year to make that happen.
Our plan is to use the grants we apply for this year to create a new revenue stream for our Market by
creating a supply of Rossland Mountain Market Society merchandise that we can sell to raise money for
our market. This supply of merchandise will also be used to provide one of a few benefits we are coming
up with for new members who join our Society. We are hoping to begin a RMMS Membership drive
during the summer of 2016. By creating an annual revenue stream through memberships to our Society,
and with the added bonus of a revenue stream through RMMS merchandise, we will begin to enhance
the sustainability of our market. Currently our main source of revenue is through vendor fees, but
because we are such a small market (average = 20 vendors) this revenue is not large enough to support
Market operations. We need another consistent and reliable revenue stream, and we believe we can
begin to obtain this through these other avenues.
By offering sponsorship to the Rossland Mountain Market through waiving of the rental fees for
the Miner’s Hall, the City of Rossland is creating a form of support that aligns with what we receive in
the summer season – namely, a venue to hold our market. It is our suggestion that the City of Rossland
waive the fees from the 2015-2016 season and add the Miner’s Hall as a venue for our Winter Market
Season into our yearly contract commencing with our contract renewal in 2016, thereby providing us
102 of 129
with a consistent venue for our farmers’ market every winter. This would include 5 market events, one
per month from November through March. The City of Rossland would then become a year round
sponsor of our Farmers’ Market by providing our venues at no charge. From the perspective of the
Farmers’ Market, this is an easy way for the City of Rossland to show support for access to local food,
and in the process would be immensely helping us become a more sustainable operation.
Please find attached with this letter our invoice from Rossland Recreation detailing our rental
fees for our events in November, December and January. We are very grateful for your consideration of
our request. We look forward to the potential of establishing this consistent, year round, supportive
relationship with the City of Rossland.
Thank you for giving us your time. We look forward to hearing from you, and we encourage open
communication and feedback from you – we would love to hear your thoughts on our Market and how
we’re doing!
Sincerely,
On behalf of the Rossland Mountain Market Society,

Dear Stacey, City Council, and acting CFO,
I am sending this correspondence to voice my discontent with the sale of
parcel Section 26, Plan#NEPX62, Land District 26, Township 9A, Subsidy Lot, 63
(see 53431) owned by the City of Rossland. This acreage is immediately
adjacent to my property Lot 45, SECtion 26, :Plan # NEPX62, LAND DISTRICT
26, TOWNSHIP 9A (See 5343I).
I understand that over the winter months, this property was sought out by
Mr. Andrew Bennett in order to lease or buy the property. I also understand that I
was in no way informed by the City of this potential ‘sale’. At the time, and in
hindsight, the rules of this sale changed from the original conditions made by the
City. After the rules changed, and during this time, I may have been interested in
this property (as were other buyers), being as I have lived there for 25 years and
am the only neighbour directly impacted. My back yard that has been gardened,
for both food and decorative plants is within this property, now sold. I am miffed
as to why the City of Rossland did not inform me of this sale, so that I had the
same opportunity to enter this potential transaction. The rules changed in mid
stride, during the negotiations. I have now lost my back yard area and am
unclear as to how the City could sell this property without having it
surveyed, legally, prior to this sale.
I am requesting that I be given an opportunity to purchase the area
adjacent to my home of 25 years, without having agriculture developed
immediately adjacent to my back deck and living area of the house. I have been
overlooked in this process and look forward to discussion regarding this sale by
the City of Rossland. If nothing else, it would have been courteous for the City
staff to inform me and make the sale upfront, especially after the rules changed
with regard to the City retaining a ROW for future infrastructure.
I am also unclear of the setbacks that I should be able to have as the
house is in the far, South West corner. I would be happy to have a subdivision
and be allowed to build another house on another portion of the property,
however the infrastructure does not allow any changes on my property. I own an
105 of 129
acre of land and am now stuck with neighbours close enough to see in windows,
due to the siting of my house and this current sale.
I look forward to a conversation with the Mayor and other City councillors
to glean a clearer understanding of the process, the legal aspects of this sale
with no surveys, the lack of communication to myself from the City, and how this
drastically changes my situation and the lifestyle I have enjoyed.
I am requesting that this letter is formally attached to the next Council
Package correspondence and that I will receive a letter from the City with
explanation of the process. I do know that with the MANY changes at City Hall
this mixup is an example of interrupted and inconsistent levels of staffing.

Dear Ms Spearn:
RE: Your Letter of February 24, 2016 – Queen Street Property
Thank you for your letter of February 24, 2016 wherein you outline your concerns as to
the disposal of “Sublot 63 – Queen Street property”, which was owned by the City of
Rossland.
I have requested that City Staff provide me with an outline of the events that took place,
for my review of the matter, and subsequently for your information. I am advised that
in June 2015 Council directed Staff to list the subject property for sale. Staff then
worked with a local Realtor to determine an appropriate listing price, and addressed
issues regarding easements. This information was passed onto Council during the
summer of 2015, resulting in Council directing Staff to list the property for the asking
price of $160,000. At the end of September, 2016, Council directed Staff to negotiate
with an interested party on the proposed statutory right –of-way. On October 13, 2015,
Council received and declined an offer to purchase the property. Council then directed
Staff to contact the Real Estate agent to change the listing to reflect the requirements
for the statutory right-of-way. A conditional offer was received and accepted by Council
at a meeting held on October 26, 2015. There was an extension to the original closing
date to adjust for the required GST on the sale of the property. And finally it is my
understanding that the matter was finalized by the middle of December, 2015.
The City chose to utilize the services of a Realtor to dispose of the property. Some
municipalities choose to dispose of property in this way, and in doing so, I am advised
107 of 129
that a real estate “for sale” sign was erected on the property. This was to ensure that it
was widely known in Rossland that the property was for sale. The City would normally
not formally notify the adjacent property owners of their intent, when a “for sale” sign
is erected on the property. A municipality is obligated to notify adjacent property
owners when it intends to sell property to a particular adjacent property owner and the
intent is to consolidate the purchased property with this particular property owner’s
property. In that case, the other adjacent property owner is to be notified, as the
property would not be publicly tendered and there is provision in the Community
Charter for this type of transaction. This was not the case in the disposal of the Queen
Street property. While it may be argued that it may have been courteous for someone
to have contacted you, in regards to the sale of property directly adjacent to you, legally
there was no requirement to do so. It was publicly listed through a real estate broker
and a real estate sign was erected on the property to indicate to the public at large that
the property was for sale.
In regards to obtaining a legal survey of the property, I wish to advise that there is no
legal requirement to formally survey a parcel of land prior to listing it for sale.
In your comments to “the rules changing” for the sale of the property, am I correct in
assuming that this was in regards to the change in the listing, in view of the required
statutory right-of-way? If so, from what I have read from the file, I believe that it was
Council’s intent, when it was discovered that the right-of-way size should be changed,
they insisted that the Realtor change the listing so that any interested party would be
aware. When Council chose to utilize the services of a real estate agent, they signed an
agreement that all contact with perspective purchasers would be with the realtor, and
not directly with the City. The sale is now complete and there is no opportunity for the
City to offer you an opportunity to purchase a portion of this property adjacent to your
home.
I regret, that you feel negatively impacted by the sale of this property. My hope is that
the new property owner will do their best to ensure that any impact on you from their
use of their new property is minimal.
I know that I may not have addressed your concerns to your satisfaction, but I am
hopeful that you can understand the City’s position in this regard. Thank you for the
opportunity to explain this matter from the City of Rossland perspective.
Sincerely,
Lynne Burch

Miners Hall Attic Reno challenges community to match $25,000 pot of gold!
For almost 120 years the Rossland Miners Union Hall has been the heartbeat of our community. It’s
here that we’ve gathered to dance, to sing, to marry, to celebrate, and to say goodbye. Now the grand
old girl is entering an exciting new phase in her life and the life of our community. And she needs your
help!
The Attic Renovation Project – slated to begin this summer – is entering its last stages of fundraising.
With $310,000 of $491,000 secured, the Rossland Council for Arts & Culture (RCAC) is pushing hard to
secure the last of the funding needed to transform the existing cold and dusty attic space to a warm
and inviting gathering spot. The renovation will create a multi-purpose room, meeting lounge,
kitchenette, storage, washrooms, as well as a performers green room.
“We were contacted by a community member last month, who offered to contribute $10,000 to the
Attic Renovation if the community would match that amount. Since then several other donors have
added to the pot, and we now have $25,000 available for matching”, explains Renate Fleming, RCAC
President.
The Attic Reno Matching Fundraiser launches February 17th and will only run for 30 days.
“Coincidentally, our final donation day is March 17th - St Patrick’s Day”, laughs Ann Damude, who is
volunteering with the campaign. “So we’re telling folks that for every dollar donated, some generous
local leprechauns will match their donation, dollar for dollar, from their $25,000 pot of gold.”
And RCAC, working with the City of Rossland is making it easy for the community to donate! Donations
can be made through local on-line fundraising site YODEL http://minershall.yodel.org/ or you can walk
into City Hall or Nelson & District Credit Union and deliver your donation. Any donations over $25 are
eligible for a tax receipt.
“This is a great opportunity for community members to make their contribution really count. Together
we can turn $25,000 into $50,000 ,” states Fleming, “And create new spaces in the Miners Hall that will
benefit the whole community for another 120 years.”
For more information on the matching campaign, contact Ann at 250-362-5617 or [email protected]
