Letter from CRD re: Bylaw No. 4127, Arts and Culture Support Service Establishment Bylaw No. 1, 2001, Amendment Bylaw No. 4, 2017

RE: Bylaw No. 4127, Arts and Culture Support Service Establishment Bylaw No. 1, 2001, Amendment Bylaw No. 4, 2017

In May of this year, the CRD Board sent Bylaw 4127 to your Council for municipal consent. Having received 2/3rd consent from the participant local governments, the bylaw was forwarded to the Inspector of Municipalities for approval, who requested instead that changes be made to the proposed amendment bylaw.

On October 11, 2017, the CRD Board gave third reading to a revised amending bylaw, still number 4127. Please place this revised Bylaw No. 4127, Arts and Culture Support Service Establishment Bylaw No. 1, 2001, Amendment Bylaw No. 4, 2017, attached, on your next Council agenda with a request to give consent to the adoption of the Bylaw in accordance with Section 346 of the Local Government Act.

In order to amend the establishing bylaw of this service, consent is required from 2/3rds of participants which include the: Township of Esquimalt, District of Highlands, District of Metchosin, District of Oak Bay, District of Saanich, Town of Sidney, City of Victoria, Town of View Royal and the Southern Gulf Islands Electoral Area Director.

As background, please find attached staff reports, the proposed bylaw (as revised) as well as the draft consolidated bylaw.

If you require additional information prior to forwarding this request to Council, or if you wish to have CRD staff present when Bylaw No. 4127 is considered once again by Council, please let me know.

Yours sincerely,

Emilie Gorman Acting Corporate Officer Legislative and Corporate Services Capital Regional District 625 Fisgard Street, Victoria, BC., V8W 1R7 250.360.3127 egorman@crd.bc.ca
