Village of Chase Council Meeting Highlights - April 23, 2019 submitted by Village of Chase
Council’s meeting April 23, 2019 started at 7:00 p.m. and saw approximately 40 people out to attend the meeting. Many of those in attendance were supporting the speakers in relation to the Turtle Valley Biosolids issue, and others attended to hear about the Active Transportation Plan and the Village’s 2018 Financial Statements. Council heard from Blaine Wiggins, Manager, First Responder Program and Indigenous Health Strategy and Transformation, BC Emergency Health Services regarding the First Responder Program. Mr. Wiggins stated that there have been discussions between him and the Village’s Fire Chief regarding the program, that entering into an agreement to provide First Responder services does not mean Provincial downloading but rather a partnership to support better health care for all our citizens. Equipment and training would be provided wherever possible and an agreement is not legally binding and could be cancelled if the terms are not working for the municipality. There are approximately 400 agencies across the Province of BC that provide First Responder services including Fire Departments, Search and Rescue Societies and Road Rescue Societies. First Responders means that a fire department or other agency/society that has signed on to be a First Responder can respond to ambulance calls if an ambulance is not available, and there are varying levels of call types to which a First Responder agency can agree to respond. Issues such as liability responsibilities, paying for call-outs and area in which calls would be included in such an agreement were discussed. Connie Seaward, spokesperson for the residents of Turtle Valley, spoke to
Council regarding their community’s concerns about the spreading of Class “B” biosolids from the City of Kamloops sewer treatment facility onto agricultural lands in Turtle Valley, specifically on lands that will eventually allow for the grazing of meat bison. She referred to the biosolids being spread close to various water sources in the area which all empty into the Little Shuswap River, concerns about who would be responsible to fix something that went wrong with the spreading of the material, the fact that there are multiple land identifications in one Land Application Plan, that no contingency plan exists if the local water becomes contaminated, the required consultation process was not undertaken properly with the local residents, and this particular type of biosolid material should not be placed on any agricultural lands in British Columbia. Other concerns that were raised included the poor condition of the roads in and out of the Turtle Valley area, and the significant slope of the land on which the biosolids are proposed to be placed. Council then heard from Brent Ashby, CPA, CA, CBV, Partner, KPMG LLP, regarding the Village’s 2018 Financial Statements. He provided an overview of various areas of the statements including the confirmation that the Village’s management maintains a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, transactions are properly authorized and recorded in compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements, and reliable financial information is available on a timely basis for preparation of the financial statements.
