At tonights Council meeting, we made the following decisions a) We received a delegation concerned boat access and parking restriction concerns along Dutch Point Rd (Greg Van Soest & Darren Getz). We also received a 319 name petition on this same topic b) After receiving no public input - Council authorized Development Permit 3/14 which authorizes a new 5 unit retail building at 800-1185 Prosperity Way (Walmart site) c) Council gave approval for the annual Terry Fox Run - September 14th. d) Council gave 3rd Reading to Zoning Amendment Bylaw #2217 - Cariboo Fire Centre at 3020 Airport Rd e) Council ratified a Committee of the Whole recommendation to purchase a new Fire Pumper Truck for $514,068 plus applicable taxes. Council must put 10% down immediately and the remaining 90% will come from the 2015 Equipment Reserve Budget f) Council ratified a Committee of the Whole recommendation authorizing the following as it relates to Dutch Point Rd Parking Restrictions/Boat Launch Access: • Discuss with CN Rail and investigate costs to widen Dutch Point Road where possible to allow for some parking and provision of a turn-around; • Work with Scout Island operators to extend gate hours; • Bylaw Department to continue increased enforcement of City bylaws in the area, and work with RCMP to enforce parking, disorderly, drunkenness and noise violations; • Develop improved signage; • Develop a communication plan to the City residents regarding available lake accesses and boat launch areas; • Investigate limiting Dutch Point Road access to pedestrians only; • and further, Staff investigate a secondary boat launch area on the lake. Safety of the local residents (Dutch Point Rd) and helping local business and promotion of the lake itself are very crucial for me. If we address each of the bullet points above, I firmly believe the issue will be resolved sooner than later
