Re: Strategic Plan for Enderby and Area

Cpl. Gobeil circulated the Vernon/North Okanagan Detachment Business Plan for 2004/2005. He emphasised that the priority of the RCMP is traffic, community policing and serious crime. The focus of the police force will be increased enforcement of traffic violations, development and implementation of public education and preventative initiatives, and prosecution of serious crimes.

Councillor Shipmaker suggested that more visibility of police during the daylight hours would be as beneficial as education initiatives. Cpl. Gobeil responded that call volumes are higher in the evenings which make it difficult to staff foot patrols in daytime hours. Education programs take place during the day when call volumes are lower. Cpl. Gobeil stressed the importance of addressing wilful damage issues with the youth of the community through school education programs.

Re: Proposal to Develop a Brand for Enderby and District

Mrs. Case indicated the following:

• Meetings between the Chamber of Commerce and Council from three years ago, two years ago, and last year all resulted in positive feedback towards developing tourism in the area.
• Barbara Smith facilitated a retreat in November 2003. Her proposal includes all players in the community to develop an Enderby brand.
• The Chamber of Commerce is seeking shared commitment between the City, the Spallumcheen Indian Band, and the Chamber of Commerce. Financial commitment would be in addition to funds already allocated to the Chamber of Commerce.

Mrs. Case responded to questions of Councillors as follows:

• The Spallumcheen Band has not yet committed to the project as it has not yet been presented to their Council.
• The Area F Director has not yet, but will be contacted for a financial contribution.
• Based on the consultant’s recommendation, the City would contribute 50% and the Spallumcheen Band and the Chamber of Commerce would each contribute 25%. Those shares would be reduced if Area F contributed.
• The costs are higher than the estimated range indicated in the letter as it is intended to utilize students rather than volunteers.
• The Chamber is hoping to proceed with the project by September and would appreciate receiving funding as soon as possible.

Information provided by Cpl. Gobeil was for informational purposes only. Endorsement was not requested.

Discussion occurred concerning funding available. There is only $3,500 set aside for Joint Projects (tourism video and signage).

Moved by Councillor Shipmaker, seconded by Councillor Brookes that the Enderby and District Chamber of Commerce be advised that the City agrees in principle to the development of a brand for Enderby and area, and further that this item be referred to the Finance Committee for determination of available funding.

The following motion, which was postponed from May 17, 2004, was presented for voting:

Moved by Councillor Shipmaker, seconded by Councillor van Berkel that Council support an overall Regional District Emergency Planning Function providing such Function include all municipalities and electoral areas.

Defeated

Discussion occurred around the Administrator’s recommended motion for maintaining its own Emergency Plan. The consensus of Council was that the "backfilling" of staff in emergencies and the appointment of a regional emergency coordinator as stated in the last 2 bullet points are items that would be incorporated into the plan and that cooperation in an emergency situation would be implied. The unanimously passed motion of May 17, 2004 already states Enderby’s position on the issue.

Jackie Pearace — North Valley Echo

Clarification was provided regarding the City’s decision to consider water connection requests from the Regional District on behalf of the Pasemko’s.

Raymond Pasemko — 201 Old Salmon Arm Road

Mr. Pasemko asked whether decision on water connection is made by the Regional District. The Public Works Superintendent clarified that the request is made by the Regional District and the decision is that of Council. The Regional District could possibly obtain an infrastructure grant on behalf of the property owner. As the City does not have recourse via taxation for property outside of City limits, the Regional District would administer the billing to the property owner.
