Corporate Strategic Priorities Community Infrastructure Partnership Program (CIPP)

Work on the Community Infrastructure Partnership Program (CIPP) between the Katzie First Nation and the City this quarter resulted in the completion of three draft documents – Water and Sewer Services Agreement, Fire Protection Services Agreement and Communications Protocol. A signing ceremony is planned for January 2016. The CIPP process has been very rewarding to both communities and will be a process that can be used in the future if further agreements are required. Sustainability

The green team conducted research on items that are leading to contamination of the City’s three solid waste streams – recycling, green waste and garbage as well as items that are often illegally dumped.

On November 7-15, 2015, the City supported a subsidized rate on drop off of extra green waste from the fall leaves and yard trimmings through Meadows Landscape Supply in Pitt Meadows. Residents paid only $5 for up to one truckload or small trailer of green waste. Over 50 vehicles dropped off 15.5 tonnes of green waste.

The City continues to see an increase in the use of the Electric Vehicle Charging Station outside of City Hall. While the end of Q2 saw a one month spike in use, the monthly use in Q4 stayed consistent with the use of the station throughout 2015. This one charging station has saved the municipality almost 1,200 kg of greenhouse gas emissions into our local environment. Emergency Management

Under the Provincial Emergency Program Act local governments are legislated to establish and maintain an emergency management program. The City directly oversees the administration of the Emergency Management Program (including: staff training, emergency pre-planning, response and recovery), and in cooperation with Maple Ridge, the administration of the Joint Emergency Program.

Q4 Highlights:

• October 15, 2015 at 10:15am the City participated in Shakeout BC, an annual simulated earthquake event

• There were two emergency social services activations related to structure fires in Pitt Meadows in 2015

December 29th Earthquake Event

On December 29, 2015, at 11:39 pm Pitt Meadows, the Lower Mainland and the southern part of Vancouver Island, experienced the most significant earthquake to occur in recent years. The 4.7 magnitude earthquake occurred in the waters east of the Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island. Fortunately there was no damage reported. This event highlights the need for personal preparedness and emphasizes the importance of training for emergency events.

Engineering and Operations Engineering and Operations is responsible for ensuring that the City’s public infrastructure is planned, built, operated, and maintained to the highest standard given available resources. The distribution of quality drinking water, sanitary sewer collection, storm drainage management, solid waste collection, road repair and snow plowing are basic amenities provided by the Engineering and Operations Division.

Capital Works Construction Progress Update Utility (Water, Sewer & Drainage) Upgrades

The 2015 Utility Upgrades Contract was awarded to Sandpiper Contracting LLP from Surrey B.C. Work started on May 18, 2015. All projects within this contract were completed by the end of Q4, including:

• Ford Road water main replacement • Wildwood water main replacement • McKechnie Road Water main replacement • Cranberry Slough Bridge replacement • Culvert replacements, culverts were installed on McKechnie Road,

Neaves Road, Hale and Old Dewdney Trunk • 124A Lift Station Upgrades

Additionally, a tender was awarded to Strohmaier’s Excavating for the Kennedy Road Pressure Reducing Station in Q3 and the work was subsequently completed in Q4.

Roadworks

The 2015 miscellaneous roadwork’s project contract was awarded to

Grandview Blacktop. All projects within this contract were completed

in by the end of Q4, including:

• Baynes Road Repave

• Ford Road Rehabilitation from 193rd Ave to 190A Ave

• Cranberry Slough bridge replacement

• Harris Road Repaving from Cranberry Slough to Alouette Bridge

• Ford Road Detour Repaving

Drainage

The McKechnie Road Pump Station projects were awarded to Bayhill Contracting, from Langley BC for installation of the motor control and PLC Technical Services to build the motor control center. This work was completed in Q4.

Rainfall Events

On November 7, and again on November 12, rainfall intensities reached levels not experienced in many years. Short duration, high intensity storms filled our internal drainage system very quickly. As a result of, increased pumping capacity from recent system upgrades lowland flooding over the course of the storm events was prevented.

Active Transportation

Q4 marked the completion of two notable Active Transportation Advisory Committee projects: • Pedestrian Controlled Crossing on Hammond Road across from the

Wildwood trail • Upgrade to the pedestrian crossing on Harris Road (across from

the West Coast Express Station) Park Road and Somerset Drive Intersection Changes

In late Q4, Council directed staff to complete the following changes to the intersection at Park Road and Somerset Drive. The changes to be implemented in Q1 2016 include: • Perform a signage inventory, prepare a signage plan and install

outstanding signage and a multi-use path (MUP) crossing • Eradicate current crosswalk • Paint crossings with zebra markings in combination with green

MUP paint • Paint Sharrow markings for shared cyclist and motorist roadway

Film Policy Review

In Q3 along with the development services team the Operations team reviewed their Council policies. Changes to the Film Policy were presented to Council in September. As filming activity has increased in certain areas of the community a new ‘Film Hotspot’ designation was introduced and proposed for inclusion in to the policy. This designation would create a separate set of regulations for areas of the community where filming activity has been very active. Council supported this new section and directed staff to consult with the community on the proposed amendments to the policy. Community consultation began in Q4. Soil Removal and Fill Deposit Regulation Bylaw Review

In Q4 the soil removal and fill deposit Bylaw was updated. This bylaw now prohibits any soil removal or fills deposit activities on any Saturday, Sunday and statutory holiday and further restricts these operations to between the hours of 7:00 am to 5:00 pm for other days of the week. Highway and Traffic Bylaw Review

The Highway and Traffic Bylaw was updated creating the requirements for applicants to develop a map of their proposed truck route to and from soil removal or fill deposit sites. Miscellaneous Operations Projects

The City has started replacing High Pressure Sodium lights with LED lights on Mitchell Road. Harris Road has already been upgraded to the LED lighting standard and the City has started to review replacing street lighting on Ford Road.

Finance

Membership

In early October, Pitt Meadows Fire welcomed four new recruits to the department, bringing the total POC count to 30. The recruits entered into service on December 22nd.
