Departmental Reports:
Grant Application - Local Government Development Approvals Program
Council approved applying for up to $200,000 in grant funding to help improve the District’s development approval processes. If the grant is successful, staff will manage the funds and the financial plan will be updated to include the new revenue and project costs. The funding would support work to streamline approvals, modernize bylaws, and make it easier to use modern construction methods and standardized housing designs.
Small-Scale Farming Policy 223, 2025 and Water Regulations and Rates Amendment Bylaw (Small-Scale Farming) 1320, 2026
Council approved a new policy that lets small farms between one and two acres in the ALR access agricultural water rates if they show proof of real farming. An application form will be available on the District website in the near future. The policy creates a fair, streamlined way for small producers—who often can’t qualify for provincial farm status—to receive the same water rate benefits as larger farms. To support the policy, Council gave three reading to a bylaw which aligns water rate definitions and modernizes cross‑connection standards.
Council Authority to Approve for 2026 Travel
Council authorized selected Council members to attend the 2026 Southern Interior Local Government Association (SILGA), Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conferences. Any travel, accommodation, and registration costs will come from the existing conference and contingency budgets.
