Re: Mosquito Control

Mr. Gilowski was not present, however the delegation was represented by Melvin Slater who made a formal presentation to Council which outlined benefits of a biological mosquito control program. The 5 points made:

• Environmentally safe application is available containing the same enzymes as garden soil.
• There is a threat of the spread of Nile encephalitis.
• Quote has been received from BWP Consulting of Kamloops.
• Sicamous-Malakwa are using this program.
• We don’t have to live like this anymore.

A copy of Mr. Slater’s presentation, along with a written proposal and quote from BWP Consulting was presented to Council for consideration.

Due to infected areas also occurring outside city limits, a partnership with the City of Enderby, the Spallumcheen Band and Area F should be investigated to successfully control the breeding areas of the mosquitos and to share in the cost of the program.

It was suggested a Referendum be presented in November. There are other alternatives available besides referendum which can be considered. If approved, the cost would be reflected in next year’s property taxes.

Moved by Councilor Case, seconded by Councilor Wejr, that a proposal be presented to the Sallumcheen Band and Area F to participate as partners with the City of Enderby in a Mosquito Control Program.

Re: Reduction of Utility Rate

Discussion: It was felt that since the property in question has one water connection to entire building, Council is not in a position to reduce the invoice because a portion is vacant.

Moved by Councilor Phillips, seconded by Councilor Wejr that a letter be drafted by the Administrator explaining that Council does not have the ability to vary the provisions of the water rates bylaw.

Administrator

In addition to the written reports, the Administrator reported the following:

Fortune Parks Users Meeting with Recreation Excellence is scheduled for Thursday, June 20, 2002 at 7:00 in the City Chambers. Council is welcome to attend, but attendance is not mandatory.

Sprinkling regulations have prompted feedback from the public. Automatic sprinklers used during early morning hours (before 6:00 a.m.) actually help to curb demand if set up properly. Staff will investigate how other Municipalities have established their restrictions for automatic sprinklers.

Question from public arose as to why restrictions were even necessary. Those with large lots and gardens find it difficult to maintain their gardens with current restrictions. Superintendent of Public Works explained the depletion of the reservoir during hot weather and the risk of having the water supply depleted, thus making restrictions for watering necessary.

Moved by Councilor Phillips, seconded by Councilor McCaig that Staff prepare recommendations with respect to watering restrictions including provision for automatic sprinklers.

CARRIED unanimously

Staff Reports

Revenue & Expenditure Report — May

Balance Sheet — May

Discussion: Financial Reports are difficult to interpret due to formatting that is required by the Public Sector Accounting Board. The revenue portion of the Revenue & Expenditure Report is particularly misleading.

Moved by Councilor Wejr, seconded by Councilor McCune that a meeting be scheduled between the Finance Committee, the Administrator, and the Deputy Treasure to clarify the format of the financial reports.

CARRIED unanimously

Just for Kids annual Golf Tournament was successful. There were 34 golfers and it is estimated that between $1000 - $1200 was raised. Thanks were extended to Councilor McCaig who acted as Auctioneer for the event. Thanks were also extended to Council, Staff, and businesses for participating and obtaining prizes.

MFA Seminar was attended June 10 with interesting topics discussed (schedule is attached to Administrator’s Report).

Concern was raised over the Cemetery Care Fund on Balance Sheet. Only portion is in Credit Union account. It is believed balance is being held for extra land requisition. Administrator will investigate the $119,407 figure on report.

Congratulations extended to Councilor Wejr for her efforts with the Just for Kids Golf Tournament.

Councilor Case met with the Spallumcheen Band regarding request for water connections. The number of existing connections is now confirmed, and they are asking for 10 more over the next 10 years. There is an urgent need. Meters may be required to establish consumption.

Council was reminded of the Aboriginal Days baseball game scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Friday June 21 between City council and Band Council.

Thanks were extended to Superintendent of Public Works for the tour of the new filter at the Sewage Treatment Plant on June 5.

A meeting was held last week to discuss Area F recycling issues. A solution should be presented soon.

On Saturday, June 15, the main aerator brush at the Water Treatment Plant had broken down and had now been repaired. It was a very hot day, and all lines were being utilized to meet the demand.

The temperature on Saturday, June 15 had been very high and all water sources had been utilized to meet demand.
