ALTERNATE APPROVAL PROCESS:
Council is to:
- Establish elector response form (Attachment “B”)
- Establish deadline:
- Tuesday, May 24 at 4:30 p.m.
- At least 30 days from last notice
- Notice as per Community Charter, s. 94 & 94.1, Attach. “C”

- Then Council can choose to undertake assent voting instead to obtain approval of electors or not proceed at all
- If by the deadline, less than 966 response forms received, Council can proceed to consider adoption of Bylaws and undertake normal disposition process

CONCLUSION:
- These properties would best be consolidated under the Mill Hill Regional Park umbrella for long-term management & maintenance
- As the land would continue to be held for park purposes, a change of ownership has no impact to the public
- A Land Title Act, s. 219 covenant will preserve the park use purpose, protection/preservation substantially in the natural state, & management/maintenance as part of the regional park system
- Proceeds from the sale would be placed to the credit of a reserve fund for future park land acquisition
- AAP straightforward process to undertake
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council establish the elector response form as provided as Attachment “B” to the Corporate Officer’s March 31, 2022 report entitled “Disposition of Park Land to the Capital Regional District Through An Alternative Approval Process”;
AND FURTHER THAT Council establish a deadline of 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, May 24, 2022 for receipt of elector responses;
AND THAT Council confirm 9,655 as the total number of electors of the area to which the approval process applies.
