RDCK Board Highlights - September 2024
September 25, 2024
Local Conservation Fund
The Board adopted Local Conservation Fund Service Area Parcel Tax Amendment Bylaw No. 2959, 2024, a bylaw to amend Local Conservation Fund Service Area Parcel Tax Bylaw No. 2438, 2013 which provides for the preparation of a parcel tax roll to fund the Local Conservation Fund Service in Electoral Areas A, D, E, F, and H. The service supports local conservation projects that reflect local priorities. Local Conservation Fund Service Area Parcel Tax Bylaw No. 2438, 2013 stipulated a 10-year term for the parcel tax. The adopted amendment removes the term. Adoption of the amending bylaw reduces administrative burden and the risk of the parcel tax bylaw timing out in a manner that does not allow for renewal in the subsequent tax year.
Moving forward, the Board has directed staff to engage with Areas A, D, and E on the Local Conservation Fund based on the 10-year clause in the original service bylaw.
Medical First Responder Service – Electoral Area A
The Board directed staff to complete a service case analysis regarding the provision of Medical First Responder Services for all of Electoral Area A by no later than June 2025. A proposed service establishment is intended to address inequities in the provision and costs of medical first responder services for Electoral Area A. The objective is to establish consistent service levels, equitable distribution of costs, and appropriate authorization for medical first responder services for a defined portion of Electoral Area A. If the Board moves forward, staff will prepare a service establishment bylaw, which will be subject to conducting a public consultation process and voter approval by means of Alternative Approval Process.
