    Funding for Seymour arm wharf


    At the request of the Seymour Arm Community Association, the Board is taking steps to provide stable and ongoing funding for the Seymour Arm community wharf. The Board gave three readings to a bylaw that will establish a financial contribution service area. This bylaw will be sent to Victoria for approval. Following that, the Regional District will hold an Alternative Approval Process where eligible electors will have an opportunity to register their opposition to the establishment of the service, which includes a parcel tax. The proposed service area is the same as that established for the Seymour Arm Liquid Waste Management Plan. In a memo A/Deputy Manager of Corporate Services Carolyn Black advised the Board the Seymour Arm Community Association indicated they do not have sufficient funds to cover the cost of maintaining the wharf nor the resources for future capital replacement costs. Once Victoria sends approval, electors will be advised of their deadline to submit Elector Response Forms.
