1)    REVENUE DIVERSIFICATION

 

WHEREAS the Provincial Task Force on Community Opportunities released its “Building Stronger Communities” report at the 2006 UBCM convention stating, in part, “the missing component in regional economic development is the economic feedback loop, a mechanism designed to share with the region the direct benefits of increased economic production”;

 

AND WHEREAS there are numerous revenues streams available to both the provincial and national levels that are far more suited to the delivery of many local government services and that have the ability to grow with the economy in a much more demonstrable manner than property taxation alone;

 

AND WHEREAS growing federal and provincial revenues have greatly outpaced the growth of local property taxation and have a much closer correlation with economic growth resulting in increasing senior government surpluses while local governments have fallen further and further behind in their ability to maintain critical infrastructure, let alone to meet new and increasing constituent demands;

 

AND WHEREAS many of the growing service demands placed on local governments (both by their constituents and by senior levels of government) have absolutely no correlation to property or to the value of property and funding strictly through property taxation does not take into account ability to pay or who benefits from the services being provided;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOVLED that senior governments identify alternative sustainable revenue streams and develop a mechanism to ensure that local governments, providing the most direct services to residents, benefit from those revenue streams and are able to meet their ever growing responsibilities.

 

2)    TAX INCENTIVES FOR PRESCRIBED FITNESS PROGRAMS

 

WHEREAS many illnesses are a result of general lifestyle factors including diet and exercise;

 

AND WHEREAS physicians are beginning to prescribe enrolment in physical activity programs or facilities as routinely as they prescribe physiotherapy or even prescription drugs;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the NCMA lobby senior government to establish a tax incentive program for people who enrol in fitness programs or join health facilities based on the recommendation of a medical health professional.

 

3)    Corporate Voting Category for Non-Resident Business Owners

 

WHEREAS business people who operate businesses within municipalities and choose to live outside the municipal boundaries have lost their ability to vote and to have some influence in local decision making;

 

And Whereas business people have a real and permanent interest in the welfare of the municipality as well as the region and contribute to the local economy through their taxation and licenses payable to the municipality, the economic benefit of their existence, their effect on making the community a more desirable place for existing and new residents, and the expertise and energy they offer to community events;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOVLED that the NCMA encourage the Province of British Columbia to reinstate a Corporate voting category so that non-resident business owners can vote and participate in the business of the community as full-fledged taxpayers.

22.8

Provincial Electoral Boundaries

Corporate Vote – Unweighted

 

Recommendation: That the agenda item summary from Janis Bell, Chief Administrative Officer, dated February 28, 2008, regarding draft resolutions for submission to the North Central Municipal Association (NCMA) conference, be received.  Further, that the following resolution be endorsed and submitted to the 2008 NCMA conference:

 

PROVINCIAL ELECTORAL BOUNDARY REFORM

 

WHEREAS British Columbia, with its diverse population clusters and vast regional interests, cannot be adequately represented by a single legislative chamber;

 

AND WHEREAS a proposal for the creation of a bicameral provincial legislature with a lower house representing population and an upper house representing the distinct regions of the province has been submitted by Mr. James Douglas Roy, former Research Officer to the Electoral Boundaries Commission;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Provincial Government be petitioned to endorse the findings and recommendations of the James Douglas Roy report to move to a bicameral legislative structure in time for the 2013 provincial elections.

22.9

Other resolutions for potential submission to NCMA. (Backgrounders added)

 

Corporate Vote – Unweighted

 

Recommendation: That the agenda item summary from Janis Bell, Chief Administrative Officer, dated February 28, 2008, regarding other potential resolutions for submission to the North Central Municipal Association (NCMA) Conference, be received.  Further, that the following resolutions be endorsed and submitted to the 2008 NCMA Conference:

 

1)    CARIBOO CONNECTOR

 

WHEREAS the British Columbia Transit Plan is focused primarily on the Lower Mainland with some benefit allocated to Kelowna and no indication of any consideration given for a proposed Cariboo Connector commitment;

 

AND WHEREAS any British Columbia Transit Plan should consider the importance of Highway 97 as the major thoroughfare between the residents and resources of Northern British Columbia and the Lower Mainland, as well as a vital economic link in the Asia Pacific Corridor joining the Prince Rupert and Vancouver ports;

 

Therefore be it resolved that the NCMA urge the Provincial Government to take immediate steps to fulfill its commitment to the completion of the Cariboo Connector to ensure the efficient and safe movement of people and goods and to solidify the economic opportunities of the Asia Pacific Gateway and Corridor.

 

2)    CARBON TAX

 

WHEREAS the proposed carbon tax has been applied to all areas of British Columbia contrary to the 2007 UBCM resolution calling for consideration of the appropriateness of implementing environmental sustainability initiatives on a unilateral basis;

 

AND WHEREAS rural British Columbians will be most severely impacted by the carbon tax due to the lack of alternative methods of transportation and the dramatically colder temperatures in the interior of British Columbia requiring the consumption of substantially more fossil fuels for both transportation and to heat homes than is experienced in the lower mainland and Vancouver Island regions, resulting in an inequitable distribution of the costs of this initiative;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the provincial government defer the imposition of a carbon tax until such time as an equitable application of the tax can be developed that creates an incentive for all British Columbians rather than a penalty for rural British Columbians.
