Delegations from the floor on Agenda items –

Item No. 7 – Promotion of Certified Organic, Free-Range Eggs

David Taylor, Chairman of the BC Egg Marketing Board, spoke about issues related to certified organic, free-range eggs.  He voiced support for any result of the Richmond initiative which resulted in greater choice for consumers.  He expressed concern however about the negative impact which could result in supporting a specialty (and more expensive) egg over the classic white egg.  (A copy of the material provided by Mr. Taylor is on file in the City Clerk’s Office.)

Mr. Taylor referred to the misinformation which was being quoted in local newspapers, and he asked that City Council make the effort to get all the facts before making a decision.

Ms. June Humphreys, 9560 Herbert Road, voiced support for the promotion of certified organic, free-range eggs and expressed pleasure at statements made by the previous speaker that inhumane housing systems for chickens no longer existed in British Columbia.

Item No. 15 – “Go Green” Community Events – May and June, 2007

Mr. Neil Smith, 3780 Pacemore Avenue, spoke in support of the “Go Green” Community events, which included Bike to Work Week, etc..  He stressed however that the Bike to Work Week should be promoted simply as Bike to Work, and that as many people as possible should be encouraged to ride their bikes to work on a daily basis, rather than for one week out of the year. 

Item No. 11 – Secondary Suites Legalization Program

Mr. Peter Mitchell, 6271 Nanika Crescent, questioned whether the homeowner would have the flexibility to live in the secondary suite and to rent the main living area.  He also questioned how adjacent property owners and potential renters would be able to determine that a secondary suite had been approved by the City.  In response, advice was given that the homeowner would be able to live in either the secondary suite or the main living area.  Further information was also provided on the (i) approval and inspection process which would be required to have a secondary suite approved; and (ii) the availability of information to the public relating to approved secondary suites.
