March 21, 2011 Regional District of Central Okanagan Highlights of the Regular Board Meeting

Okanagan Indian Band Reserve Expansion

The Regional Board has received a presentation from two Councillors of the Okanagan Indian Band regarding a proposed expansion of its Reserve #1.

In 2009, the Regional Board citing a number of concerns opposed the band’s application to Indian and Northern Affairs Canada to add 1,088-hectares to the band reserve. Four of the parcels totalling approximately 190-hectares are privately owned by the band and are located within the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area adjacent to Westshore Estates.

The Board has authorized Regional District Development Services staff to meet with the band staff regarding the reserve expansion request and to prepare an updated report for Board consideration.

March 21, 2011 Regional District of Central Okanagan Regular Board Meeting Minutes

5. DELEGATIONS

5.1 Okanagan Indian Band (ONIB) - Councillors Raymond Marchand and Tim Isaac re: Addition to Okanagan IR#1 - Laura Demers Okanagan Indian Band in its letter of February 4, 2011 requested a delegation to discuss the Regional District's opposition to the addition of the subject lands to I. R. No.1. The opposition to the addition was provided to Indian and
Northern Affairs Canada in 2009.

Councillor Marchand addressed the Board noting:
- ONIB wants better dialogue between the two governments
- Four Regional Board members supported the addition to reserve, and now requests a new resolution of support in light of information provided today.
- This is a result of a specific claim filed over two decades ago. Believe portions of land were illegally excluded.
- Land which is being added to reserve constitutes a relatively small acreage.

Land is being returned as a result of unlawfully excluded from reserve before the regional district existed.
- Integral part of claim Canada conceded was valid.
- Want to work out practical solutions from issues raised in Board resolution.
-No forestry road in the area.
-Zoning issues--will not be subject to ALR and zoning requirements.

Bylaws don't apply to reserve lands. Willing to sit down to address issues how lands will be developed.
- Willing to sit down to work out a protocol between the governments to help harmonize land use decisions.
- Want contiguous Band lands. Canada said that the lands are to be touching but they are not - Canada considers in this instance they are.
- The North Okanagan Regional District is not opposed to the addition to lands.

Discussion:
Very positive that dialogue has started.
Is it possible for the Band to hold an information meeting for residents in the area? Yes, this could be done.
Majority of the land is within the North Okanagan Regional District.
Residents have expressed concern in the past with regard to road access.
Information blocks have been done in the past regarding other issues.
ONIB has never blocked road access.

Staff reviewed the lots identified. Lots are privately owned by the band. One lot is in the ALR. ONIB bought the lands and now want to move them to reserve status.
How is the land contiguous? They aren't in this area but it is as a whole these are remnant pieces.

The error by Canada was made off Rattlesnake Point not these lands. In a land settlement with Canada monies were offered by Canada but the Band asked for lands to be moved to reserve status. The Band is now requesting other lands be added to reserve. The Band bought the lands and now want them transferred to reserve.

Need staff report to revisit the issue and report back on ie: historical information; confirm process currently in place; confirm road access issues; what future land use is being planned by the Band; and what public consultation process is planned by the Band.

Is there a timeline for response? June 12 is the deadline for ONIB so a response would be appreciated as soon as possible.

The delegation was thanked for their presentation. Chair Hobson noted the Regional District is willing to continue discussions with the Band that can lead to establish principles and benchmarks for a Protocol Agreement between the two governments, The Administrator will contact ONIB for discuss this further.

FINDLATER/EDGSON
THAT the February 4, 2011 letter from the Okanagan Indian Band regarding Addition to Okanagan I.R #1 be received;

AND THAT the Regional Board reconsider its original resolution #153/09 in opposition to the addition of the subject lands to I,R No, 1;

AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to provide a report on the issues raised on June 22, 2009 and further considering the items raised by the Board and the Okanagan Indian Band at the March 21, 2011 meeting.

RDCO email says:
Our Inspections Section provided me with this information. There have been a total of 236 dwellings and additions given building permits so far…dating back to February 2005 up to and including today (July 2nd 2008) regarding La Casa.

A new, more powerful and functional mapping system is now available for visitors to the Regional District of Central Okanagan website.

Communications Coordinator Bruce Smith says, “The new Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program was developed by our staff, using the latest industry leading technology from the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) and using the Microsoft Silverlight development platform.”

Information Services Manager Richard Bruneau adds, “By utilizing Silverlight, online map users will be able to take full advantage of its powerful development tools, providing an engaging and interactive internet mapping experience.”

Bruneau says, “The new online GIS system uses the latest technology and replaces three older applications and an aging internal application. This will benefit the wide range of people that use the online mapping service, as well as Regional District staff and our Regional GIS partners from the municipalities of Lake Country, Peachland and the Westbank First Nation.”

Some of the great new features offered include:

Easy map navigation and searches for properties, roads or parks
View details of any map feature
Fully cached orthophotos for fast and seamless display
The ability to compare current with past orthophotos to view development history
Using a simple drag and drop the industry leading Document Management System allows users to link any number and type of document to any number of map features
For those who may not want to immediately move to the new map system, links will be left in place until the New Year to the older programs. The online maps are a very popular feature of the Regional District website. More than 37,000 visits have been logged so far this year to the GIS maps from over 11,000 unique visitors. The maps are often used by real estate professionals, consultants and staff and students from the University of British Columbia Okanagan and Okanagan College.
