Utilities Committee

Terms of Reference The Utilities Committee is the standing committee of the Metro Vancouver Board which provides advice and recommendations to the Board on water and liquid waste management programs. Metro Vancouver is directly responsible for the regional systems for storage, treatment and distribution of water fit for drinking as described in the updated Drinking Water Management Plan adopted by the Board in 2011. Metro Vancouver is also directly responsible for the regional systems for collection, conveyance, treatment and disposal of wastewater and for stormwater over a more limited geographical extent. These activities are carried out under the provisions of the Integrated Liquid Waste and Resource Management Plan which was adopted by the Board and approved by the Province in 2011. The Utilities Committee’s scope of work is focussed on how the implementation of these plans, including regional policies, projects and programs can contribute to the liveability and sustainability of the region. The Utilities Committee is the forum to which staff report on water and liquid waste management programs, projects and policies. The Committee’s responsibilities are: § To review and monitor the annual work program for programs assigned to the

committee and make recommendations to the Board, as necessary, on any changes in program scope and priorities;

§ To consider staff reports on policies, projects and programs and make recommendations to the Board on the appropriate actions;

§ To hear and consider public delegations on matters within the scope of the committee’s purview and, where appropriate, make recommendations to the Board arising out of such delegations;

§ To pursue matters referred to the committee by the Board and report back to the Board expeditiously, as required.

In carrying out these responsibilities, the committee may provide advice, guidance or direction to staff as to the scope and priority of work to be carried out, including new tasks to be undertaken. However, where such direction represents a sufficiently significant change in the previously approved work program, or a significant expenditure of funds, or runs contrary to the advice of professional staff, the committee shall refer the matter to the Board, with appropriate recommendations, for decision by the Board.

Attachment 2

UC-18

- 2 - The Committee Chair, or in the absence of the Committee Chair, the Committee Vice-Chair will usually be the chief spokesperson on matters of public interest within the Committee’s purview. Some issues may be of such public profile that it will be appropriate for the Board Chair or Vice-Chair to be the chief spokesperson; on technical matters or where the status is still at the staff proposal level, the Commissioner or senior staff may be the appropriate chief spokesperson. Where necessary and practical, the Board Chair, the Committee Chair and the Commissioner (or vice-chairs and deputy) will confer to determine the most appropriate course of action. The Commissioner will assign a departmental manager to be ‘committee manager’ to the Committee. The committee manager will be responsible for coordinating agendas and be the principle point of contact for committee members. Committee Meetings The Utilities Committee meets monthly, except for August and December and has special meetings as required. A quorum of 50% plus one of the committee membership is required to conduct committee business. Relationship with Other Board Committees Matters of overall budget and financing of the programs are the purview of the Finance Committee. Expenditures within the approved budget remain the purview of the Utilities Committee, but items which entail significant changes to the approved budget should be referred to the Finance Committee for their recommendation to the Board as well as the recommendation of the Utilities Committee. Matters involving Metro Vancouver’s strategic relationships with other governments, agencies and communities are under the purview of the Intergovernmental and Administration Committee. While the Utilities Committee will receive reports and discuss issues under its purview, the Committee Chair will keep the Intergovernmental and Administration Committee apprised of any intergovernmental implications arising from such reports and discussions. Matters considered by the Utilities Committee may have implications for issues considered by other committees, in particular the Environment and Parks Committee, the Zero Waste Committee, and the Regional Planning and Agriculture Committee. Similarly matters considered by other committees may have relevance for the Utilities Committee. The committee manager will attempt to keep the committee apprised of significant reports with inter-committee implications. Committee Membership The Chair, Vice Chair, and members are appointed annually by the Chair of the Metro Vancouver Board of Directors.

To: Utilities Committee

Zero Waste Committee From: Albert van Roodselaar, Manager, Utility Planning Department Date: February 12, 2013 Meeting Date: February 28, 2013 Subject: Integrated Utility Management Advisory Committee (IUMAC) Update RECOMMENDATION That the Utilities Committee and the Zero Waste Committee receive the report dated February 12, 2013, titled Integrated Utility Management Advisory Committee (IUMAC) Update for information. PURPOSE IUMAC is a Committee identified for formation in the Integrated Liquid Waste and Resource Management Plan and in the Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan. This Committee is a high level advisory committee established to provide advice to Metro Vancouver on the implementation of the three Utility Plans in the form of an annual report to the Board. BACKGROUND The Utilities Committee received a report on IUMAC for information at their meeting of May 9, 2012 and requested that an update be provided on the status of this Committee in early 2013. The same report was presented to the Zero Waste Committee and was received for information. DISCUSSION IUMAC has a diverse membership consisting of Metro Vancouver and municipal staff, Senior Government, Public and Non-Government, Technical and Professional, and Business (Attachment 1). The direct municipal representation at IUMAC is very strong with the Chairs of the Regional Engineers Advisory Committee, the Regional Planning Advisory Committee and the Regional Finance Advisory Committee having membership in this committee. IUMAC selects a chair from within its membership. The Environmental Monitoring Committee and the Stormwater Interagency Liaison Group are standing sub-committees under IUMAC. Additional subcommittees may be established to provide input on the implementation of plan initiatives. The inaugural meeting of IUMAC was held on December 12th, 2012. The intent of this first meeting was to review the responsibilities of this committee, allow the members to become acquainted with each other, provide preliminary information on the three Utility Plans, and to identify member interests as to the deliverables of this committee within the context of the Terms of Reference (Attachment 2). The process for the selection of the Chair was discussed and scheduled for the next meeting.

Purpose

The Integrated Utility Management Advisory Committee (IUMAC) is a high level advisory committee established to monitor and provide advice to Metro Vancouver on the implementation of the Drinking Water Management Plan, the Integrated Liquid Waste and Resource Management Plan, and the Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan. In particular, IUMAC will provide Metro Vancouver with advice on integration issues related to implementing these plans, including integrated resource recovery strategies and issues. IUMAC will provide broad technical advice, suggestions and recommendations to the Board, in the form of an annual report, to assist in the implementation and integration of the three utility management plans. Projects arising from actions within any of the related plans may be brought forward for information, however, IUMAC is not a forum for detailed technical review.

Membership

The committee is intended to be a diverse high level advisory group of up to 15 members with experience and expertise in one or more of the utilities managed by Metro Vancouver. Membership will be filled through nominations from appropriate associations and/or responses to public advertisements. IUMAC members will be appointed by Metro Vancouver staff and invited to participate on the committee for a three-year period. IUMAC will select a Chair from within its own membership. The make-up of IUMAC will be:

• Metro Vancouver – 1 Metro Vancouver staff serving as liaison for the committee and Metro Vancouver committees and boards;

• Municipal – 3 staff from member municipalities to represent municipal interests in the implementation and integration of the utility plans;

• Other Orders of Government – 3 staff from provincial and federal agencies with regulatory mandates related to water, solid and liquid waste management initiatives, and 1 representative from First Nations;

• Technical and Professional – 3 individuals with technical, academic or professional interest and expertise in the implementation and integration of utility management initiatives;

• Public and Non-Government – 3 individuals representing the public, non-government agencies and/or associations with interests in water, solid or liquid waste management issues; and

• Business – 3 individuals with business interests that may contribute to or are affected by water, solid or liquid waste management initiatives.

The membership of the committee will be reviewed by Metro Vancouver every three years. Vacancies will be filled by Metro Vancouver through a nomination and appointment process. Participation on IUMAC and its sub-committees will be on a volunteer basis.

Sub-committees

IUMAC sub-committees may be established by Metro Vancouver to provide specialized input on the implementation progress of individual plans or plan initiatives. The existing Environmental Monitoring Committee and the Stormwater Inter-agency Liaison Group, which support review of liquid waste issues, will serve as IUMAC sub-committees.

Meetings

IUMAC will meet twice annually, at a minimum, at the call of the Chair to review progress on Metro Vancouver’s utility plans. This is a non-voting committee in order to ensure consideration of the opinions and perspectives of all committee members. IUMAC will provide advice to the Metro Vancouver Board in the form of the annual report that may include items based on committee consensus and/or minority opinion. A summary of progress towards implementation of the three utility plans will be an agenda item for each meeting. Metro Vancouver will prepare meeting summaries and forward these to the committees prior to the next meeting. Summaries will reflect key issues, discussions, and action items.

Resources

Metro Vancouver will provide meeting venues, host meetings and facilitate day-to-day functioning of IUMAC and its sub-committees. Metro Vancouver staff will serve as a liaison for IUMAC and Metro Vancouver’s committees and boards. IUMAC may recommend that Metro Vancouver staff invite additional groups or individuals who may provide value to the work of the committee through presentations and discussions.

To: Utilities Committee From: Frank Huber, Deputy Manager and Simon So, Deputy Manager Engineering & Construction Department Date: January 28, 2013 Meeting date: February 28, 2013 Subject: 2013 GVWD and GVS&DD Capital Projects RECOMMENDATION That the Utilities Committee receive the report titled 2013 GVWD and GVS&DD Capital Projects dated January 28, 2013 for information. PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to inform the Committee of the GVWD and GVS&DD capital projects under its purview for 2013, as approved by the Board on October 26, 2012. BACKGROUND As part of the capital projects reporting process, an annual report summarizing the capital projects under the Committee’s purview has historically been brought forward to the Committee at its first meeting of the year. DISCUSSION Programs and priorities for water and liquid waste management for 2013 were reviewed and endorsed at the October 2012 meeting of the Utilities Committee. This report summarizes the individual capital projects included in the above-noted programs. As part of the Long Range Plan and annual budget process, a determination is made of the capital projects that are required in order to continue to meet Metro Vancouver’s service obligations. This is done through a senior level capital planning team which prioritizes each project on the basis of several criteria including environmental impact, health and safety, and ability to meet service delivery requirements and regulations. In March, a first rough draft of the new Long Range Capital Plan is presented to the municipalities for their early input. An updated draft Long Range Capital Plan is then prepared considering this input, and in May each municipality is provided with copies for their further review and comment. Comments received are considered in finalizing the draft plan commencing in late July, for incorporation into the annual budget. The projects within the various GVWD and GVS&DD capital programs are referenced in the 2013 Program Summaries (Grey Book) and the 2013 Financial Information (Blue Book) made available to Committee and Board members in the fall of each year as part of the annual budget process. GVWD capital projects expected to commence in 2013, and projects “approved in progress” are summarized for reference purposes on Attachments No. 1 and 2, respectively.

UC-25

GVS&DD liquid waste capital projects expected to commence in 2013 and projects “approved in progress” are summarized for reference purposes on Attachments No. 4 and 5, respectively. In accordance with the capital expenditure reporting process approved by the Board, interim status reports are provided to the Utilities and Finance Committees in June and October, with a final year-end report to the Committees and Board in April. ALTERNATIVES This is an information report. No alternatives are presented. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS For 2013, water capital projects account for approximately $153 million of the $232 million approved capital budget with approximately $79 million allocated to liquid waste capital projects. Proposed 2013 expenditures and total project budget, for each individual project, are tabulated in Attachments No. 3 (GVWD) and 6 (GVS&DD), respectively. SUMMARY / CONCLUSION The 2013 capital programs for GVWD and GVS&DD (Liquid Waste) were approved by the Board in October 2012. This report provides a high level overview of these programs for the Committee’s reference throughout 2013.

SUMMARY / CONCLUSION All of the major construction contracts for the Seymour Capilano Filtration Project are complete except for the twin tunnels. As of the end of December 2012, twin tunnels completion is 87%. The balance of the project is at 98% overall completion. Filtration of the Seymour source commenced in late December 2009 and reached full flow in mid-January 2010. All pipeline tie-ins from the tunnels to the existing transmission system are scheduled to be completed in May 2014. Commissioning of the tunnels for filtration of Capilano source water will follow.

Date: February 20, 2013 Meeting Date: February 28, 2013

Subject: Manager’s Report Recommendation: That the Utilities Committee receive for information the Manager’s Report dated February 20, 2013. Port Mann Water Supply Tunnel Update

Construction of the Port Mann Water Supply Tunnel project continues. Excavation of the south shaft, located in Surrey, is complete and the concrete base slab has been poured in preparation for full shaft dewatering. The perimeter slurry wall for the north shaft, located in Coquitlam, is now also complete and excavation of the shaft core has commenced. The earth pressure balanced tunnel boring machine is being manufactured in Ontario and is nearing completion, with site delivery of components now underway. Tunnelling is expected to commence in the summer and take approximately one year to complete. The shaft construction work has proven to be more challenging and complicated than anticipated, resulting in the project being several months behind schedule, with completion now expected in mid-2015.

Thank you for submitting your 2012 General Strategic Priorities Fund (GSPF) /Innovations Fund (IF) application for funding under the Gas Tax Program.We have now completed approvals and unfortunately your application for theLions Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant Secondary Upgrade project, was notapproved for funding.

In total, 53 projects have been approved totaling over $53 million in GSPF andIF funding for capital and capacity building projects. These approvals, alongwith the approvals made under the 2011 intake, fully commit the GSPF and IFallocation for the 2010-2014 Gas Tax extension funding. Consequently, there isno further funding available under these programs.

The 2012 intake was oversubscribed by a considerable margin, with over 200applications received totaling over $440 million in grant funding requested,outweighing available funds by almost 8:1. This did not allow for all worthyapplications to be funded.

A list of successful projects will be available on our website at(http: / I www.ubcm.ca / EN / main / funding / gas-tax-fund.html) after all of themedia events and announcements have been made.

We wish to thank you for taking the time to develop and forward yourapplication.
