Parks and Recreation staff are currently building a new road and parking lot into the dog park off Woodsdale Rd. We ask that all users of the dog park please use this driveway and parking lot and to not park on Reimke Rd.
The Economic Development Committee met to discuss the Town Centre development. It is a Council's priority and committee members are reviewing the draft Official Community Plan to provide some feedback to Council in order to refine the vision for Main Street. They also initiated a branding exercise, which is funded by the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA). It was clear, from the discussion, that branding and marketing of Lake Country is critical to the economic growth of our community but also to put Lake Country 'on the map', so to speak. Requests fro Proposals are accepted until July 26, 2010.
There will be a Regular Council meeting on July 20, 2010. The Official Community Plan Bylaw is back for discussion and the recommendation is to give second and third reading to the Bylaw. The OCP was the subject of a Public Hearing on May 27 and the feedback Council received was reviewed and included in the staff report going on the agenda for the meeting. Aside from some small amendments, staff are recommending that the current draft be approved. My comment in the report is that we should have completed an Integrated Community Sustainability Plan prior to review the OCP. I guess it will be the next plan to complete.
There was a power outage last week on teh Fortis system in the early hours of Saturday morning. This utility supplies power to the Okanagan Lake pump house. Given the summer flows from it, staff monitored our reservoir from about 2am until it reached a critical low (getting into the fire flow reserves). They switched to the Beaver lake system which required us to contact the users. They switched back at about 7am.
