PRESENTATION

 

 

 

Teresa Vozza, Chair of the Richmond Family and Youth Court Committee (RFYCC), joined by Gerry Browne, Vice-Chair of the RFYCC, presented the 2009 Annual Report and provided the following information:

 

 

§         

the RFYCC started the year strong with a complement of thirteen members, nine of these members regularly attended and observed court proceedings;

 

 

§         

the RFYCC spent much of 2009 organizing the 2009 Annual BC Family and Youth Court Conference, which was held on October 16 and 17, 2009;

 

 

§         

the RFYCC’s mandate is to observe and report on court proceeding, it does not analyze the statistic taken; and

 

 

§         

members dedicated approximately 1,200 hours to the RFYCC, half of those hours were dedicated to the conference.

 

 

Ms. Vozza highlighted that the conference was very successful and was pleased to advised that through the registration fees and cash sponsorship donations, the RFYCC was able to self-fund the conference; therefore, the RFYCC will be returning the entire $10,000 seed money the City contributed.

 

 

She thanked current and past members for their time and effort in for volunteering and for planning the conference.

 

 

Ms. Vozza then thanked City Council and the City Clerk’s Office for their support.

Delegations from the floor on Agenda items.

 

 

Item No. 9 – Vancouver Airport Fuel Delivery Project

 

 

Peter Mitchell, 6271 Nanika Crescent, thanked Council for its position on this project and in reference to a recent article in a local newspaper, highlighted that the current pipeline is seldom utilized to its capacity and questioned why they would not barge the fuel directly to YVR.

 

 

Item No. 19 – Proposed On-Street Parking Restrictions In Burkeville

 

 

Mr. Mitchell noted that the proposed parking restrictions are appropriate for Burkeville.  He commented however that, as a member of the Richmond Parking Advisory Committee, the proposed parking restrictions should have been before the Committee prior to its consideration at Council.

 

 

Item No. 21 – Proposed Demonstration Wind Turbine Review

 

 

Mr. Mitchell queried how the wind turbine functions and its progress.  In reply to Mr. Mitchell’s queries, staff advised that a report on the pilot project is forthcoming.

 

 

Item No. 9 – Vancouver Airport Fuel Delivery Project

 

 

Michael Wolfe, 9731 Odlin Road, believed that the City’s position regarding the Vancouver Airport Fuel Delivery Project is weak.  He wished to see Council members or City staff meet with Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation (VAFFC) personnel and report what is being done.  Also, Mr. Wolfe commented that City Council should make more of an effort to address concerns related to the project.

 

 

Item No. 10 – Corporate Sustainability Policy

 

 

Mr. Wolfe commented on the proposed policy content and in reference to the staff report questioned the City’s commitment and Council’s leadership.  He noted that the staff report indicates that there is no financial impact, but was of the opinion that any policy would not go far without some financing.

 

 

Item No. 16 – City Climate Change Program – Proposed Community Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Target

 

 

Mr. Wolfe commended the City’s greenhouse gas emission reduction target of 33% below 2007 levels by 2020, however questioned how this goal would be attained.  He spoke of the Partners for Climate Protection program and Richmond’s status in the program.  Also, Mr. Wolfe suggested that the City explore tidal energy.  He concluded by commenting on the ratio of funds allocated to Nelson Road Interchange project versus those allocated to pedestrian, bike, and bus services.

 

 

Bylaws for Adoption – Bylaw 8565

 

 

Anita Gent, 3551 Richmond Street, advised that she was not notified of the Road Closure and Removal of Road Dedication Bylaw 8565 until very recently.  She indicated that she was dismayed that the proposed bylaw received first, second, and third readings without being notified.  Ms. Gent spoke of her property and her desire to purchase the road end, but recalled being advised that the road end would remain as-is.

 

 

She referred to the City’s notification advertisement and noted that the ad does not indicate that those affected by the proposed bylaw may attend and delegate to Council.

 

 

In response to queries from Council, Laurie Bachynski, Manager, Property Services, reviewed the typical process for Road Closure and Removal of Road Dedication bylaws.  She noted that this particular parcel is intended to be subdivided into two lots, with the easterly lot to be sold. 

 

 

Ms. Bachynski commented that a courtesy call would be made to neighbours abutting proposed road ends in the future.  Also, she advised that the sale of road ends do not have to go to public tender should adjacent property owners be interested in purchasing the road end.
