A member of Council
asked that staff address Ms. Moira Harrison’s concerns raised at the public
hearing regarding the recycling truck and the need for appropriate playground
signage in the vicinity of the area proposed to be used for soft plastics
recycling.
Responding to Ms.
Harrison’s concerns regarding the recycling truck associated with the soft
plastic recycling, the Municipal Administrator explained that commercial vehicles
are not permitted to park on the street.
Mr. Cochrane noted that it could be clarified with the recycling depot
organizers that the recycle truck would be required to park in the area to be
zoned for such a use.
Regarding signage,
Mr. Cochrane noted that Carnarvon Park may already have appropriate playground signage
in place, and that perhaps temporary sandwich-board signs could be erected to
alert park users during the times the soft plastic recycling depot truck is on
site at Carnarvon Park. Further, said
Mr. Cochrane, the agreement between the Municipality and the depot organizers
could address any signage requirements.
The question was
then called.

CAPITAL REGIONAL
DISTRICT, May 23, 2007 Re Request for Grant for Public Education Campaign for Pesticide
Reduction |
The Municipal Administrator noted that the
Capital Regional District (CRD) is requesting from
There was discussion regarding the request,
and Council indicated its support for the proposed initiative, acknowledging
the value public education would have on addressing the issues related to
pesticide use.
With respect to the request for funding
however, Council acknowledged that as the budget has already been set, there
are no funds available for the proposed campaign. Members of Council also expressed some
concerns with a grant being requested from Oak Bay rather than the required
funds being included in the CRD tax requisition, as would be in keeping with
the usual practice.
Council questioned whether or not the CRD
might be able to find the required funds within its own budget given no funds
are available within Oak Bay’s budget.
MOVED by Councillor Herbert
Seconded by Councillor Copley, That staff
be directed to send a letter to the Capital Regional District indicating
support in principle for the public education campaign for pesticide reduction
program but noting that no funding is available within Oak Bay’s budget.
