Fine imbibing, island style

No referendum planned in near future

BY ELIZABETH NOLAN DRIFTWOOD STAFF

The Capital Regional District’s proposed Bylaw 4325 has been decisively defeated by Salt Spring electors via the alternate approval process.

Salt Spring CRD director Gary Holman told the Driftwood on Monday afternoon that CRD officials had already received more than the minimum required 910 elector response forms and hadn’t finished counting them yet.

“It is clear there is no consensus on the need for this service,” he said. “I think I failed to make the case, and despite our best effort to explain the rationale for the service, it is fairly complex and too many voters felt there was no definite plan.”

In order for a bylaw to be blocked by the alternate approval process, previously known as a counter-petition, a minimum of 10 per cent of eligible voters in the jurisdiction — or 910 on Salt Spring — must sign and submit elector response forms.

The bylaw would have established a community safety service, supported by Salt Spring property taxpayers to a level of $0.016 of $1,000 residential property value.

If fewer than 10 per cent of Salt Spring electors had submitted elector response forms by the Dec. 9 at 4 p.m. deadline, the bylaw would have been automatically enacted and the tax added to the 2020 requisition.

Many islanders initially found the process difficult to navigate, with information printed on the electoral response form suggesting that it needed to have a copy of the bylaw attached and be delivered to Victoria in order to be counted. As well, some people who wished to pick up extra forms from the local CRD office were told incorrectly they could only take one for themselves.

Opposition to the service and the AAP process inspired some islanders to take action. Gordon Lee could be seen handing out voter forms to passersby on Lower Ganges Road for several days last week, and other community members were also making sure extra forms were printed and circulated.

Holman said the community’s participation in defeating the proposal proves the AAP can work on Salt Spring, even though he feels some voters signed the petition form because they were opposed to the mechanism rather than the safety

service itself.

“This experience demonstrates once again that in fact, the alternate approval process can actually make it easier for voters to reject proposals,” he said. “A: because of the 10 per cent threshold, B: you’ve got at least 30 days to reject the proposal, and C: the entire field is left to the ‘no’ voters.’”

Holman added the CRD usually only chooses to use the AAP over a referendum to request taxpayer spending when the request is fairly modest, or if it seems there is community consensus about the need.

“Certainly on the last issue I’m a bit surprised, but that’s a judgement call and voters have made it clear they feel there is no need for the service,” he said.

Holman said he is not planning to call for a referendum on the issue at this point, as it would cost anywhere from $30,000 to 40,000 to hold and a positive result is uncertain. At the same time, he said the need for local agency collaboration on things like crime prevention and outreach has not gone away.
