Item No. 12 – Ticket Allocation for 2010 Olympic Games |
|
|
|
Vince Miele, Board Chair, Richmond Centre for Disability (RCD), accompanied by Frances Clark, Secretary, thanked members of Council for recommending that two tickets to a major Olympic event be donated to the RCD to be used for fundraising purposes. Mr. Miele advised that the RCD would celebrate its 25th anniversary with a fundraiser which would be held on October 3rd, 2009. Funds raised would be used for continuation of the services and programs provided by the Centre. |
|
|
|
Ms. Clark expressed her appreciation for Council’s support and indicated that she hoped to see the City and other Olympic invitees involved in an event related to the Paralympics. |
|
|
|
In conclusion Mr. Miele added that the RCD was aware of the need to obtain VANOC’s approval prior to using the donated tickets for fundraising purposes, and that the tickets would be handled properly and according to VANOC’s requirements. |

|
|
Item No. 27 – Nelson Road-Highway 91 Interchange – Proposed City of Richmond Contribution |
|
|
|
Bill Zylmans, 17771 Westminster Highway, spoke as a representative of the Agricultural Advisory Committee, the Richmond Farmer’s Institute, and as an owner of WA Farms in East Richmond. Mr. Zylmans expressed concerns related to traffic safety issues, and spoke about accidents along Westminster Highway between Nelson and No. 6 Roads involving cyclists and semi-trailers. He also noted that approximately 50 school children catch school buses between No. 6 Road and Nelson Road on a regular basis. |
|
|
|
Mr. Zylmans stated that it was vitally important for the City to participate in the funding of the Nelson Road-Highway 91 Interchange, and that the farmers believed it would be more beneficial to elevate the interface over Westminster Highway in order to alleviate the truck traffic and turn Westminster Highway into an “old farming road”. Mr. Zylmans also spoke about how several businesses along Westminster Highway had been increasingly losing business due to the high movement of container traffic along the Highway. |
|
|
|
In response to queries, Victor Wei, Director, Transportation, advised that an elevated interface over Westminster Highway would result in (i) an overpass that would eliminate the ability of traffic to make left or right turns; and (ii) costs that would far outweight the benefits. |
|
|
|
With the aid of a diagram, Mr. Wei then reviewed the proposed design concept under discussion with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI), and advised that (i) the proposed recommendation would tighten up the curvature of the land to align with the existing highway without intruding on the adjacent farm lands; (ii) the MOTI had agreed that the City’s objectives would form part of the project; and (iii) the MOTI would make the final decision regarding the proposed design concept, however the City would not be providing any funding unless the identified objectives are fulfilled. |
|
|
|
Item No. 8 – Electrical and Fire Safety Inspection Program |
|
|
|
Paul Sterman, resident on Seacastle Drive, spoke in opposition to the Electrical and Fire Safety Inspection Program, and provided comments on the following points (i) the acceptable range of electrical consumption; (ii) accountability to the public for damages, including wrongful inspection; (iii) procedural issues; (iv) the role of the RCMP; and (v) provisions for voluntary disclosure of high energy consumption. A copy of Mr. Sterman’s presentation is attached as Schedule 1 to these minutes. |
|
|
|
In response to a query, Kim Howell, Deputy Chief – Administration, advised that residential consumption of over 93 kilowatts hours per day was considered abnormally high, and that this target was determined by BC Hydro’s certified electrical workers. |
