Chair Watson welcomed Andrea Wilkey and a few of the EDPN team members to the remote Board meeting.

Andrea Wilkey gave a presentation to the Board regarding the EDPN, their strategic priorities and their response to COVID-19. The EDPN was formed in 2014. There are 25-30 members who are working towards advancing economic development through active collaboration and building a strong network to improve the impact of economic development practitioners in the Columbia Basin/Boundary region.

Ms. Wilkey identified the three (3) 2020-2023 priorities for the EDPN:

1. Raising Awareness/Active Outreach; 2. A Future-Focused EDPN; and 3. Continue Core Activities.

The EDPN believes in strong collaboration and identifying the economic needs within the region. The EDPN has hosted many collaboration calls on topics of interest, such as housing, farmers markets, shopping local, cannabis, film industry, Kootenay Branding and COVID-19. The focus of the calls are to educate and share insight with those in the business industry, local governments, non-profit organizations and post-secondary.

Ms. Wilkey acknowledged the impact that COVID-19 pandemic has had on the local economy and she reviewed the BC Chamber of Commerce survey findings from the BC businesses. The survey painted a dire picture of how the businesses have been greatly affected by the pandemic. She discussed the EDPN's response to COVID-19 and the actions that are being taken to help the local economy. The EDPN hosted a regional economic planning session to confirm and rank the regions economic recovery priorities and to begin looking at the next steps. Ms. Wilkey went through some of the priorities and the importance of having regional collaboration and creating a Regional Economic Recovery plan. The EDPN wants to avoid duplication of initiatives across several small communities and wants to speak as one voice to key partners and funders about regional priorities. She indicated the importance of communicating with all local governments within the Columbia Basin/Boundary region and creating a Economic Recovery Task Force that focuses on requests for funding and monitoring the results from the plan.

In conclusion, Ms. Wilkey encouraged the municipalities to include the EDPN in their conversations to help restore economic development within their communities due to COVID-19 and to work together.

Chair Watson thanked Andrea Wilkey for her presentation and the members from the EDPN team for being available for questions from the Board.

9. DIRECTORS' MOTIONS

9.1 Director Jackman: Cell Tower - Riondel The following question was posed to Director Jackman by Riondel residents: How is it possible that the RDCK gave a green light to Industry Canada/Spectrum Kelowna, without addressing any concerns of Riondel residents in opposition of this location?

Director Jackman responded as follows: As for evidence of shortcomings or failures in the consultation process undertaken by Telus, I have two emails from (Resident #1 name redacted) (15 May and 19 May 2020) stating he did not receive a response to the comment sheet he submitted during the 2019 open house. I have a little less clear statement from (Resident #2 name redacted) in an email dated 08 June 2020 where he states he wrote numerous letters to Telus and only received one reply in September 2019, but he was not specific as to whether he received a response to his comment sheet submitted at the open house (ie within the time line for the public consultation period). I have a third item which is a letter to me dated 05 June 2020 (scanned and relayed by email from others) in which (Resident #3 name redacted) states in writing that she did not receive any response to her comment sheet submitted at the 2019 open house plus she states she filled in a second comment sheet and sent it to Telus via registered mail (she has the tracking sheet) 10 days prior to the end of the consultation period and that she did not receive a response to that. So out of my current list of emails (336 between sent and received in the folder and counting) I have two people with a specific claim and one possible claim that they did not receive a response from Telus during the consultation period. On 22 May 2020 Telus did admit they failed to send out one response due to an incorrect email address but did not say who it was.


429/20 That due to concerns raised regarding the consultation process undertaken by Telus

Communications Inc. regarding the installation of a monopoled telecommunication tower in the community of Riondel, and with reference to resolution 681/19 being:

WHEREAS Telus Communications Inc. proposes to erect a monopoled telecommunication on lands at located at 315 Fowler Street in the community of Riondel and legally described as Lot 5, Block 1, District Lot 461, Kootenay Land District, Plan NEP5803 (PID 013‐289‐179);

AND WHEREAS proponents of telecommunication towers are regulated by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISEDC) on behalf of the Government of Canada and are required by ISEDC to consult with land use authorities as provided for in CPC‐2‐0‐03;

AND WHEREAS Telus Communications Inc. has consulted with the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) accordingly and there is no objection to the proposed telecommunication tower;


54

AND WHEREAS Telus Communications Inc. has consulted with the public by notifying all property owners and occupants within three times the tower height and has provided 30 days for written public comment;

AND WHEREAS there are no significant land use issues identified through the consultation;

NOW THEREFORE be it resolved that the RDCK staff be instructed to advise that:

1. Telus Communications Inc. has satisfactorily completed its consultation with the Regional District of Central Kootenay;

2. The Regional District of Central Kootenay is satisfied with the public consultation process and does not require any further consultation with the public; and

3. The Regional District of Central Kootenay concurs with the proposal to construct a wireless telecommunications facility provided it is constructed substantially in accordance with the plans submitted to it and described;

the RDCK Chair send a letter to Industry Canada (copied to Telus) on behalf of the Board expressing our concerns over the accuracy of the Telus report on the public consultation process and ask that Industry Canada require Telus to respond to concerns and be prepared to revisit the public consultation process if they choose to proceed with the project.
