SQCRD

Friday meeting

First look

 

 

Maury first

 

Can’t Recycle Forklift

 

Need new accounting software too

 

Area A & C and other boondoggles

Maury spoke first

 

http://www.shakeoutbc.ca/


The earthquake awareness drill has been changed to October 20th at 10:20AM --- explanation here  

Maury drove down from Terrace to ask how many remembered to "Drop, Cover, and Hold On"  ‘yesterday’ (Thursday)

This interesting booklet also handed out

Lange, Owen S. Living with weather along the British Columbia Coast: the veil of chaos. Vancouver, B.C. : Environment Canada, 2003. ISBN ISBN 0660189844

 

 

Then the mail

Mayor Mussallem showed his advertised ‘most capable’ – by quickly getting through these items – most Receive and File (R&F)

I have added some notes – example applications to Youth Parliament etc
PNCIMA Lite got some discussion –

 

 

 

Tim DesChamp from Recycling

Need a new forklift --- gave 3 options but given the hours on old one – not worth repairing etc

 

Usually Tim would be ‘reporting’ on the last months stats --- but I hear that is yesterday --- and the committee will not meet until the New Year --- that way get rid of that pesky Jean Martin too

 

 

Good News is

Seems the Recycling doing so well that has accrued sufficient ‘surplus’ to pay the 31T$ from its ‘current year receipts

 

 

 


We need new accounting software too

This was a very late item --- only this week learned the full extent of the ‘glitches’ in current software (see below)

 

Staff recommended getting VADIM which is used by many BC local governments --- and again – have $$ in current surplus --- though will wait till 2012 to implement (continuity)

 

With all the changes in staff over the last few years – understandable that ‘system degrade’

Here is the VADIM software home page

 

 

Des termed this PNCIMA Lite

See the excerpts I have made from the letter in the package below --- DFO ‘argues’ it has a time line that must be met (December 2012)

 

IOAC why that is ‘Integrated Oceans Advisory Committee’, of course

Web page at PCIMA for IOAC

 


This is extracted from the list candidates SQCRD

We note in passing that Area A and Area C RD Directors are uncontested (again) this year ---

Check out the map at SQCRD --- Oona River population 37 – Dodge Cove population 52

The 1st Nations (reserves) have all the population – but they do not participate in SQCRD – More interested presently in Treaties etc --- But my question is how much Tax $$ comes out of Area A and C --- more later

Excerpted from BC site on RDs

http://www.cscd.gov.bc.ca/lgd/infra/library/regional_stats08_summary.pdf

 

I will return to this later – note the pay we paid Koning in 2010 – almost as much as the garbage people on Haida Gwaii

How much Tax $$ --- ‘hopefully’ City of PR paying nothing to support A & C

Note my excepts from 2010 SOFI for SQCRD – I note both Des and Karl earn more than anyone save the chair ---- And Karl does not even attend the meetings that often ---- but unopposed --- and check his expenses --- that is a lot of taxes for a population of 37 to support ---- more later

 

 

Want to amend OCP already

Possibility sub divide golf course into residential

 

Here is excerpt form the Agenda package

MIMC does a lot of the work over on the Charlottes

I will get back to this later

 

And I did not even get to Evan Putterill input for Sandspit --- Area E more Wednesday --- and check out the SQCRD map to see how small this Area is – and it’s population (390)

 

 

Showery weather --- makes interesting sunsets though

Clouds & Showers

Monthly Total Rain
