April Board Meeting 1

CSRD BOARDA meeting April 21^st

A feasibility study will be done, to see if the Jackson School site is viable for CSRD building site. There will be a comparison to the present building that the CSRD is presently being housed in and its potential cost of being restructured to fit the present and growing needs of the Regional District. The information gathered will give us an idea which the most economical and efficient way to go. Much of the problem is the cost is formidable, that along with the tax structure changing with Electoral Areas paying their fair share of CSRD costs versus what municipalities used to pay.

A re-look at director remuneration was requested because of the frequency of new meetings that directors attend, have been increasing. These meetings are not on the CSRD list of typical meetings that were attended to in the past.   An updated list was offered and a request to what direction the Board wants to go with these types of meetings that Board members go to; how they should be remunerated and what is the criteria will be used to reimburse directors to go to these meetings.

                 

Changes to how the election of Local Government officials are done; as to the manner that candidates appear on the ballot as well as how the dates are set, was passed. The dates for 2011 Regional District elections will be; on October 4^th nominations begins and on October 14^th nominations ends, November 9^th   will have advance voting and finally November 19^th  there will be the General Voting day(this happens on the third Saturday in November of every 3^rd year). The cost for the election is suspected to be $23,000. If anyone is thinking of running you can contact the Regional District to what it entrails for the position.  As well you can ask me.
