I. CORRESPONDENCE&REPORTS
(a) Verbal Report regarding the potential international ferry service.
Mayor Acre advised that she had received a comment that caused her concern that the resolution
passed at the meeting held November 21,2006 may have been deemed too negative by
recipients.
The Mayor suggested requesting a"traffic impact study"may be more appropriate than
"feasibility reviews"as noted in the cover letter.
Deputy Mayor Evanitski noted that the project may require several partners and become more
complex resulting in later"add-ins". He suggested that not only roads would be affected,but
would include other concerns such as quality of life and policing services. All specific issues
need to be identified and addressed by a thorough study undertaken by a third party consultant.
In regard to cost, it was suggested that the proponent, with support from the provincial and
federal governments would be appropriate.
A draft letter was provided for review and discussion.
It was noted that ambulance, fire,roads, insurance,policing and environmental impacts also need
to be addressed.
