be brought forward.
CARRIED
Restructure Committee – Remainder of Electoral Area ‘D’:
MOVED Director Hamilton, SECONDED Director D. Haime,:
WHEREAS geographically,
Electoral Areas ‘C’ and ‘D’ are separate and distinct and do not have shared
roads other than the Inland Island Highway to connect their communities;
AND WHEREAS Electoral
Area ‘C’ is already comprised of a number of fragmented communities with few
connecting roadways and the addition of the communities in Electoral Area ‘D’
will increase the dispersed nature of the electoral area;
AND WHEREAS the Pleasant
Valley and East Wellington communities in Electoral Area ‘D’ have already felt
themselves represented as minority interest within Electoral Area ‘D’;
AND WHEREAS the remainder
of Electoral Area ‘D’ is more developed and in an urban setting than Electoral
Area ‘C’ which has a rural and agricultural setting;
AND WHEREAS for the
reasons outlined above, it will be extremely difficult for these two diverse
electoral areas to be represented by a single Area Director;
AND WHEREAS Electoral
Area ‘C’ has existed for many years as an independently represented area
despite its small population base and Electoral Area ‘D’ now has a population
base similar to Electoral Area ‘C’;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
that the Board of the Regional District of Nanaimo request the Province of BC
to amend the letters patent dated April 3, 2003 to allow Electoral Area ‘D’ to
remain as an independent Electoral Area following the Local Government
Elections in November 2005.
A recorded vote was requested.
