1/2

January 23, 2013

The Board was in favour of

hiring a consultant to review

the current 9-1-1 call centre

service and to look at availa-

ble options.

Currently the CSRD, along

with eight other regional dis-

tricts, contribute to the call

centre service operated by

Central Okanagan System

Operations Communications

Centre in Kelowna.

A core team approved by all

the Regional District mem-

bers will oversee the process.

Last September the Board

was advised the cost was go-

ing to exceed the maximum

contract price due to RCMP

contract negotiations.

The contract with the current

service provider in Kelowna

expires on December 31,

2013 and the core team will

keep all nine Regional Dis-

tricts informed of progress

during the year.

Manager of Finance Services

Peter Jarman told the Board

they are looking for the best

financial option with the as-

surance the service will be

either equal to or better than

the current service.

flood management Resolution to go to SILGA

In the aftermath of flooding in

Sicamous and Swansea Point,

the question of provincial and

regional responsibility for

flood protection and mitiga-

tion came to the fore.

The Board, along with the

Regional District of North

Okanagan, will be sending a

joint resolution to the South-

ern Interior Local Govern-

ment Association (SILGA)

for consideration concerning

flood management.

The resolution calls for the

Province to take immediate

and direct responsibility for

flood management.

Although the CSRD responds

to emergencies caused by

flooding, Regional District

policy states it not responsible

for flood management.

cash-in-lieu deferral approved

The Board approved staffs recommen-

dation that payment of cash-in-lieu of

park land dedication be deferred for one

year concerning property in Celista. Un-

der the Local Government Act, subdivi-

sion applications include park land or

cash-in-lieu of park land in some circum-

stances. Parks Team Leader Marcin

Pachcinski told the Board staff recom-

mends deferral of payment to give staff

and Directors time to discuss Policy P-5,

which gives direction concerning park

land dedication as a function of subdivi-

sion.

The Board discussed two Agricultural

Land Reserve issues pertaining to Area

D. The Board considered a non-farm

use for a proposed golf course, club

house, and camping on a property located

at 3132 Schaeffer Road, east of Falkland

and defeated the staff recommendation to

support the golf course and club house.

The Board recommended approval for a

subdivision request concerning a proper-

ties located on 3307, 3317 and 3329 on

Smith Road. Currently there are three

dwellings on the 32.37 hectare property

and only two are permitted. The owners

are requesting the subdivision to bring it

into compliance with Salmon Valley

Land Use Bylaw No. 2500.

Both applications will be forwarded to

the Agricultural Land Commission with

their respective recommendations.
