March 6, 2006 Westside Issues Committee Meeting Minutes
North Westside Communities AssociationThe Association had two
items to discuss with the Committee
-
Parks - John Leesing addressed the
Committee and noted that there was a desire in the Community to
create a Children's playground, which would be in the name of
the Communities Association. However, a capital contribution
in the amount of $10,000.00 is requested from the Regional
District. In addition, as well as operating funds for the
playground ($2,000), the community felt that $35,000 needed
to be spent on Killiney Beach Park.
- Fire Chief - Jim E. addressed the Committee and stressed the
community's desire for a full time fire chief. He noted
that in their view, the budget could handle the additional costs.
Community representatives meet with the CAO to develop a process
which involves the community in reviewing the need for a Fire Chief and
eventually leading to a report to the Regional District Board.

RDCO's email says:
We have received provincial approval for a license of
occupation for two hectares of land for this proposed park. We are in the
process of creating a development plan for this park. We envision a phased
development involving at first a children’s playground and parking area, to be
followed by development of a sportsfield. No further information is available at
this time.
