The Comox Valley Regional District is hosting an information session this week on the upcoming Alternative Approval Process initiatives being presented to the community.
The session runs from 5pm to 7pm Thursday, Jan. 9 at the CVRD Main Office in Courtenay.
“This Unified AAP represents four initiatives designed to provide a more efficient and effective method of obtaining public approval with residents in the Comox Valley,” explains James Warren, Chief Administrative Officer.
“The goal of the unified approach is to streamline processes internally while saving taxpayer dollars seeking elector approval.”
The three initiatives being presented at the session include:
- proposed long-term borrowing to fund the construction of a second artificial turf field under the Comox Valley Track and Field Service
- a proposal to change the Emergency Shelter and Supportive Housing Land Acquisition Service to the Comox Valley Housing Service “for the purpose of providing non-market housing and providing financial assistance to a corporation established by the CVRD,”
- a proposal to increase the maximum requisition for the Comox Valley Homelessness Supports Service to provide greater financial and capacity supports to address homelessness.
Staff will be on hand to answer questions about the initiatives and provide more information into the changes being proposed.
More information can be found at Comox Valley Regional District AAP.
Staff will be on hand on Thursday to answer any additional questions that may arise in terms of that project.
An information session was held in November for residents to go over the plan to construct and equip a new fire hall for the Union Bay Fire Protection Service.
Under the AAP, if less than 10 percent of eligible electors register their opposition, the board may choose to proceed with the proposal.
If 10 percent or more oppose the proposal, the District board can seek approval through a referendum, or it can choose to abandon the initiative.
The AAP response period will begin on January 15th and end on February 18th.
