BACKGROUND:
The distribution system is in the SUMMER MODE of operation using surface water ONLY for
irrigation use, along with some ground water in System 2. All other ground water pumps are
used for domestic use ONLY. A summary of noteworthy activity in the operation of the water
system is as follows:
RURAL Water Systems
•September 5 - To increase water quality and chlorine residual, dead end water mains
were flushed in System #1.
•September 6 - Because a private contractor failed to obtain utility locates prior to
excavating, the telemetry cable from Rockcliff Irrigation Pump to the #4 reservoir was
severed during excavation by the private contractor. This resulted in loss of irrigation
water service for 4 hours in System #4. Temporary repairs to the cable were made and
the pumps were re-started.
•September 7 - as part of routine maintenance the Chlorine residual analyzer was
cleaned and re-calibrated at Buchanan Pump Station.
•September 15 - as part of routine maintenance and good housekeeping, all Kiosks in the
rural area that supply the SCADA system with water related data, were thoroughly
cleaned of dust, cobwebs, etc.
•September 27 - Because several timbers on flume #3 have became “checked” by natural
weathering, and to prevent rain and snow water from penetrating the treated timbers, a
waterproof roofing sealant was applied to the checked timbers.
•September 30 - for unknown reasons the power at BlackSage was interrupted resulting
in power loss for Pump #2B, and System #2 area. Power was restored in 10 minutes, and
all pumps re-started without the need for operator intervention.
IN-TOWN Water Systems
September 6 - 8 - Serviced the air valves on domestic water main lines.
September 11 - Installed a blow off at Columbia Place (Air valve replaced with blow off)
September 11 - Routine metering maintenance.
September 14 - Water sample at Sawmill Road came back positive with 1 coliform hit.
Therefore flushed hydrants around area and retested, and took a presence absence
water sample test (in house sample).
September 15 - Presence absence test was good (tested negative), continued servicing
air valves.
September 20 - Cleaned up the pump houses.
Sept 18 & 21- The water samples at Sawmill Road came back negative (results passed)
Sept 26- Routine alarm checks.
Note: Weekly water sampling completed for both Rural and In-Town systems.

For the October 23, 2017 Council Meeting
DATE: October 18, 2017 File No.
TO:
Mayor and Council
FROM:
Diane Vaykovich, Corporate Officer
RE:
Fees and Charges Amendment Bylaw 1087.02
RATIONALE:
To seek Council's enactment of Fees and Charges Amendment Bylaw 1087.02.
OPTIONS:
1. Council may choose to support the recommendation to amend the Fees and Charges
Bylaw
2. Council may choose to refer back to staff for additional information
3. Council may choose to not support the recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION:
That third reading of the Fees and Charges Amendment Bylaw 1087.02 be rescinded; and
That the Fees and Charges Amendment Bylaw 1087.02 be re-read a third time as amended; and
That adoption of the Fees and Charges Amendment Bylaw 1087.02 be scheduled for the
November 14, 2017 meeting.
RECOMMENDATION IMPLICATIONS:
Amending the Fees and Charges Amendment Bylaw enables the application of fees and charges
for Town of Oliver products and services.
ITEM J. - 1.

BACKGROUND:
At the October 10, 2017 meeting Council provided first, second and third readings of the Fees
and Charges Amendment Bylaw 1087.02 and scheduled adoption of the bylaw for the October
23, 2017 meeting.
Inadvertently inclusion of the fee for the Special Event Application was not added to the
amendment bylaw. It is proposed that Council approve inclusion of a $35.00 fee associated
with the approval of a Special Event Application. On receipt of an application the document is
circulated to the Director of Operations, Bylaw Enforcement, Oliver Fire Department, RCMP,
and Corporate Services for review and provide comment. The fee is consistent with other
municipalities with Special Event Application processes.
Additionally, the Planning Consultant is currently re-writing the Town's Land Use Procedure
Bylaw which will be brought to Council for consideration at a future meeting. The existing
bylaw contains fees that will be removed from the bylaw and added to the Fees and Charges
Bylaw. In doing so this provides efficiency for staff and the public in locating associated fees for
services with the Town of Oliver.
COUNCIL REPORT/RESOLUTION HISTORY:
October 10, 2017 That Fees and Charges Amendment Bylaw
1087.02 be read a first, second and third
time; and
That adoption of the Fees and Charges
Amendment Bylaw 1087.02 be scheduled for

Strategic Plan:
BACKGROUND:
The Oliver Volunteer Fire Department Establishment and Fire Regulations Bylaw No. 636 was
adopted in 1991. Earlier this year it was determined by Council that the Bylaw required
updating to ensure it met the current operation model of the Fire Department. The draft bylaw
also has been expanded on to ensure the Fire Chief will continue to have powers that are
currently relied on through the Fire Commissioner Office should there be a change to the
delegation of powers at that level. The Bylaw was drafted using a template that has been
developed through the LGMA , Fire Chiefs' Association of BC and the Office of the Fire
Commissioner of BC but has been modified to address the needs of our community.
Council had an opportunity to review the draft bylaw at the October 10th Committee of the
Whole meeting. Direction was given to Staff to forward the draft Bylaw to Oliver Fire Protection
District for their information and feedback. The Bylaw was forwarded on October 12 and the
Oliver Fire Protection District did not provide any comments back.
Although the resolution passed at the Committee of the Whole meeting on October 10th
indicated the bylaw be brought back to the Committee of the Whole meeting as there are no
suggested amendments to the draft bylaw, Staff have included it in the regular agenda for
consideration of readings.
COUNCIL REPORT/RESOLUTION HISTORY:
R181/17 That Oliver Volunteer Fire Department Establishment and Fire Regulations
Amendment Bylaw 636.03 be deferred back to staff; and, that amendments be brought back to
a Committee of the Whole meeting for further discussion.
CW95/17 That Council direct staff to forward the draft Fire Control Bylaw to the Oliver Fire
Protection District for review and feedback; and that Staff bring back the draft Fire Control
Bylaw to an upcoming Committee of the Whole meeting for further discussion.

Subject: Wood Campfires
http://www.oliverchronicle.com/town-proposes-one-fire-pit-per-campground/
Dear Mayor and Council
Cc: Cathy Cowan
Cc: Chief Graham
I have just read that the wood campfire item has been back before council in the link (attached) from
tonight’s Chronicle.
After presenting in June, where the matter was tabled, we were never advised when it would come back
for discussion. I wish we had been advised, because Tourism facilities in Oliver, ourselves included, have
a lot at stake.
So I am belatedly submitting this by email.
I don’t know how many disparate “officials” have hovered over our resort this year, chasing ghosts and
never thinking to including me in any of their queries, only my poor front-line staff.
The Chronicle article makes quotes which I must urge you one last time to carefully check into, because
your vote will otherwise be based on your not verifying facts when you have been warned those facts
are on thin ice.
The complaints you have on file are in some cases unverified/unverifiable and at least some are entirely
false, (despite how they may still be someone’s “truth”). To be clear: Despite wild declarations by a
small number of un-vetted or otherwise unconfirmed complainants to the contrary, not a single wood
campfire fire has burned anywhere at Lakeside since Chief Skaros imposed the ban in the Summer of
2015. Period.
I have always elected to work and communicate with council and staff directly and in private, and not
brought any publicity to the heavy-handed treatment my poor staff have endured through the multi-
agency actions, directed by the Town’s terrible triage system over this matter. Nor have I pursued the
FOIA route as has been suggested by staff because I believe that is only making it far worse for everyone
who is trying to make sensible solutions
Please remember we represent a significant input into the Oliver economy, to the retailers our clients
spend at, ours and their employee payrolls, and the considerably higher tax milrates we happily submit.
If this bylaw is enacted, as appears to be planned, due to the complaints of a very few unhappy
residents (including some who will have bamboozled you), it will bring unnecessary discredit to our nice
town of Oliver.
ITEM J. - 2.

Please come up with a better solution! The place to start is to thoroughly get the facts vetted. Then a
more rational answer will be found. What’s the hurry, honestly!?
All the best

RE:
Fire Deparment Budget

RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:
ITEM K. - 1.
Page 70 of 104
In the attached documents you will see the fire department's 5 year projects for both operating
and capital.
In the operating section of the analysis you will find items are very consistent with the prior
year, only making adjustments for small areas to bring the expenses more inline with actual.
The total cash deficit for the year has actually decreased from the prior year due to a number of
factors, which include:
• Lease payments - decrease by $21,787. The leases for the vehicles have been fully paid
in 2018 and will not need to be paid in 2017
• Building and Grounds Maintenance - increase by $10,000. In this account there is an
estimate to repaint the exterior of the fire hall as requested by the Oliver Fire
Department.
In the Capital section of the analysis there are the 3 consistent capital assets. The figures have
been updated to reflect the actual costs that were seen in 2017. Also you will see a large capital
request being put forth of the repair of the roof of the building for by the Oliver Fire
Department. This roof is in need of major repair and is required in the near future - these items
are for you discussion.
There is a scheduled meeting with the OFPD on October 25, 2017, where we will be discussing
this information. An update will follow regarding this meeting.

RE:
Crime Watch
RATIONALE:
To update Council regarding Crime Watch requests identified at the March 23, 2017 Committee
of the Whole meeting.

Policing
BACKGROUND:
Council's 2016-2018 Strategic Plan - Policing, Develop a Crime Enforcement Strategy.
• Partner with Citizens on Patrol to determine what is necessary to enhance their service
to the Town of Oliver.
In early 2017 Crime Watch met with staff and identified a number of items that would enhance
their service to the Town of Oliver. Crime Watch appeared before Council on March 27, 2017
and provided a synopsis of their organization with statist ics, fundraising activities, volunteer
work, along with concerns and issues currently facing Crime Watch.
The primary need for Crime Watch is a dedicated vehicle, along with insurance and licensing,
for members to use while on patrol. The vehicle should be equipped with a dash cam and
digital hand held radios to improve communication with the Oliver RCMP.
Public Works are considering retiring one of the trucks from the fleet in 2018. The truck is older
but mechanically sound. If Council chose to replace this retired truck in 2018 it could be
donated to Crime Watch for their use. The truck would require Crime Watch branding
(wrapping) and equipping with the equipment necessary to communicate with Oliver RCMP.
Funding support could be sought through the Electoral Area C Director (rural Oliver) for
branding and equipment.
Estimated Costs
Dash Cam $250.00
Branding Wrap $1,500.00
Digital Radios $400.00
Total $2,150.00
Other issues and concerns identified by Crime Watch included the need for additional
volunteers and assistance with advertising/promotion. Council has also identified Recognition
in its 2016-2018 Strategic Plan and staff will be incorporating volunteer support in this work. A
report will be brought to Council regarding Recognition at a future meeting.

Dear Sir or Madam:
Re: Cannabis Legalization and Regulation in British Columbia –
Discussion Paper
- Response Town of Oliver
The Town of Oliver respectfully provides the following response to the Province of
British Columbia regarding Cannabis Legalization and Regulation.
Town of Oliver Council is of the opinion that the Provincial government should
advocate with the Federal Government to extend the consultation period. The lack
of communication and consultation with local governments, and this extremely
short consultation timeline (seven months) does not provide adequate time for the
Province to receive input and implement regulatory and enforcement schemes
respecting Cannabis Legalization and Regulation in British Columbia.
The Town of Oliver strongly recommends that both Federal and Provincial
governments establish the cannabis regulations that local government abide. This
local government believes that it is not the responsibility of a municipality to
assume responsibility and duties respecting cannabis legalization.
The Town of Oliver is of the opinion that a “Cannabis Control Board” that is similar
to the BC Liquor Control Board or a regulated pharmacy should be responsible for
direct distribution and retail sale of cannabis. Both Liquor Control Board and
regulated pharmacies are experienced with the sale of controlled substances.
Implementing this model assists municipalities with regard to amendments to its
Zoning Bylaw and Business License Bylaw.
ITEM K. - 3.
Page 87 of 104
With regard to the distribution of revenue, it is necessary for local governments to
receive an adequate share, especially if local governments are to assume new
responsibilities and deal with increases in the administrative burdens that a
provincial framework that may require local government participation. Potentially
local governments should receive at least twenty (20) percent of any cannabis
revenue on a per capita basis to municipalities to cover the costs of increased
inspection and enforcement. The per capita calculation should include the regional
district as most, if not all, cannabis outlets will reside within municipal boundaries.
The Town of Oliver strongly believes that municipalities should not be responsible
for distribution, regulation and enforcement resulting from the legalization of
cannabis.
However, to participate in the consultation process the Town of Oliver provides
specific responses to the Discussion Paper as follows:
1. Minimum age should be 19 in British Columba to match the age of majority
2. Personal possession to be 30 grams for adults
3. Youth should not be allowed to possess, purchase or use cannabis. The
remedy for youth possession should be a ticket and the cannabis
confiscated, much like a illegal possession for alcohol
4. Public consumption should be the same restriction as there is for public
smoking or vaping. Municipalities would regulate as needed within their
boundaries
5. Personal production of cannabis should have no restrictions as to where the
four allowed plants are grown on a residential property.
6. Commercial production of cannabis with Town limits should be restricted to
Industrial Zones with restrictions relating to increased security and odour.

Ron Hovanes

BACKGROUND:
We have received the Rural Dividend Grant funding for to undertake our Oliver Brand Blueprint
and the Committee is scheduled to meet on October 30, to start the development of the RFP
which is anticipated to be ready to go out November 7. Appointment of the Committee
members is required so that we can proceed with this project.
At it's June 26, 2017 meeting, Council adopted the Oliver Downtown Advisory Committee
Terms of Reference (TOR). The TOR outlines the committee shall consist of 9 members and shall
be composed of:
• 2 Town of Oliver (1 staff and 1 Council representative);
• 1 South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce;
• 1 Oliver Tourism Association, Oliver Osoyoos Winery Association;
• 2 Local business representatives;
• 1 Member at Large; and
• 1 Food Action Advisory Committee member
The Committee initially had individuals from the Chamber and OTA and Staff forwarded letter's
to Oliver Osoyoos Winery Association and the Food Action Advisory Committee inviting them to
participate on the Committee. Mr. Pat Hampson was on the 2015 Downtown Revitalization
Committee and a letter was forwarded to him inviting him to be on the Committee as the
Member at Large. Advertising was undertaken in both the Oliver Chronicle and on ODN to seek
local business representatives, from this advertisement Staff received an e-mail from Clive
Macmillan a retired chiropractor who recently moved to Oliver. Councillor Doerr spoke with
Teresa Maurer from PurZen, and both of these individuals are interested in sitting on the
Committee. As Mr. Macmillan does not have a local business, he could only be considered for
the Committee as a Member at Large, the TOR currently allows for 1 Member at Large. There is
still 1 local business representative position that requires filling, however Council could
consider having Mr. Macmillan sit on the Committee until we have an additional local business
representative.

BACKGROUND:
Council allocates $2,000 annually for the Town Christmas Party in which organizers have been
able to organize an event for Council and staff.
Increasing the participant contribution from $7.00 to $10.00 assists in offsetting the cost for
Annual Christmas Party expenses. The primary cost of the event is towards food and rental of a
venue. Food costs increase each year, and in 2016 the Oliver Fire Department open hall was
used at no cost, however the venue is becoming to small to accommodate attendees.
COUNCIL REPORT/RESOLUTION HISTORY:
November 16, 2009, amended October 9, 2012
The Municipal Manager provided an overview of the Manager of Financial Services report on
the Annual Christmas Party.
1. That only local wines be offered at the event.
2. That the Town Christmas Party budget be increased to $2,000; and
3. That participants contribute $7.00 per person.

Jennifer Miles, Water Sustainability Coordinator for RDNO—Greater Vernon Water,
gave an overview of the utility’s agricultural water program. The utility is working with
the Water Board and the B.C. Climate Action Initiative to pilot a mass notification
system that enables them to send water supply updates instantly by email, text, and
voicemail. The notification system will be particularly useful in communicating with
producers early and often in drought years. GVW also offers AgConnect, an online
resource that provides information on water allocation and monthly use for
agricultural customers.
Water Board directors meet with B.C. Minister of Environment: The importance of
preventing an infestation of invasive mussels into B.C. waters was the focus of
meetings between Water Board directors and Minister George Heyman at the recent
Union of BC Municipalities conference. The Minister was very receptive, and
requested a detailed and prioritized list of prioritized recommendations.
Board of Control holding public meeting and premier of The River Film: The
International Osoyoos Lake Board of Control will hold their annual public meeting on
October 17 at the Sonora Centre in Osoyoos. At the meeting, there will be a special
screening of The River Film, a documentary about the trans-boundary challenges of
managing Osoyoos Lake, and the uses and needs of residents and ecosystems along
the lake and the Okanagan River. A second red-carpet screening is planned for
October 25 at the Oliver Theatre. Register for your free ticket at https://a-river-

Make Water Work wraps up, announces winners: The OBWB’s Okanagan
WaterWise program has wrapped up its Make Water Work outdoor residential water
conservation campaign. The initiative, delivered in partnership with local utilities
throughout the valley, encourages residents to Take the Challenge and pledge to
Make Water Work more effectively and efficiently and be entered to win a $6,000
WaterWise yard upgrade. This year’s winner is Laurie Weisgarber of Kelowna. The
community with the most pledges collected per capita is also recognized. This year,
the City of Armstrong was named “Make Water Work 2017 Champions.” Find tips to
protect our water year-round at www.OkWaterWise.ca.
Climate change front-and-centre at the Water Board’s annual public meeting:
The OBWB hosted its annual public meeting on September 8. The theme was
“Weathering Extremes” in reference to the floods, fires, and droughts we’ve been
increasingly experiencing in the Okanagan. The Pembina Institute’s Maximillian
Kniewasser talked about the state of climate action in B.C. and opportunities for
growing the clean energy sector. Shaun Reimer, the provincial ministry person who
operates the Okanagan Lake dam system, spoke about how this year’s historic
flooding resulted from a combination of late snowpack and record-breaking rainfall.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: OCTOBER 16, 2017
BUSINESSES IN THE RDOS URGED TO REDUCE THEIR WASTE
A lack of recycling is putting pressure on landfills and impacting carbon reduction goals
The Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen would like to see businesses doing more to recycle paper,
plastic, and other materials, and are working on new regulations and programs. But businesses say they are
facing multiple obstacles; lack of service, confusion about what is recyclable, and high costs, to name a few.
“When we speak to businesses they all agree that recycling is important,” states Cameron Baughen at the
RDOS. “Their individual reasons why they don’t recycle more are unique. The RDOS is committed to help
businesses and multi-family units divert waste from landfills. Learning more about their issues is the first
step.”
To help understand these barriers, the RDOS hosted workshops for businesses in August to understand
their barriers to recycling and ask for ideas on how to overcome them.
“We have heard some interesting feedback from businesses about why they aren’t recycling more. Issues
they are facing include cost, space and storage issues, lack of service, inconvenience, and lack of
education”, says Andrea Mackintosh, who has been consulting directly with the business community. “They
also have some creative ideas on how to overcome these barriers, and we want to hear more from
businesses all across the RDOS.”
The RDOS and is now encouraging businesses throughout the region to participate in an online survey to
ensure that the voice of the business community is heard in advance of any new bylaws, policies, or
programs being created for both recycling and potentially composting.
“The Downtown Penticton Association is in agreement with reducing the amount of waste being sent to
the landfill and to do this we need a workable and cost-effective waste/recycle program in place,” says
Lynn Allin, Downtown Penticton Association Executive Director. “We look forward to being part of the
solution to create expanded efforts towards creating and maintaining cleanliness in all public places of the
downtown core.”
Businesses that would like to voice their concerns with regards to business recycling and composting are
asked to visit www.recyclesurvey.ca to complete a 10-minute survey and enter to win a one-night stay and
dinner for two at Watermark Beach Resort, OR a $100 gift card from the local business of their choice. The
Regional District is also looking to hear from managers and residents of multi-family buildings. Businesses
that are interested in a waste audit can contact Andrea Mackintosh at 250-212-5523 or
andrea@greenstep.ca.
