STATUS UPDATE OF COUNCIL'S  2022 TOP PRIORITIES

Council's 2022 Top Priorities with new activity comments provided for information:

• Solid Waste Pickup for Multi-Family: Staff continue to reach out for collection data such as number of containers, frequency of pick up, ownership of containers, location etc.  This data is saved in a format for a customer bulling module similar to the quarterly billing for water service.  The data will also be used for the RFP sent out to contractors through BC Bid.  The project is using considerable resources in the Finance, IT, Engineering Administration, Legal and project areas
  
  Advice from the technical and industry experts is that the summer contract award deadline is unrealistic, however staff are remaining firm to an August contract award.  

• Housing Needs / Affordable Housing: Staff are moving forward with the Housing Needs Report 2021 recommendations, preparation is underway for a public workshop to be held in April 2022.
  
  
• Community Amenity Contribution "Shovel-in-the-Ground" Projects: 
  
  - Emerson Park Playground Upgrade: Playground equipment is being installed.  Staff have applied for grants for up to combined funding of $50K for the use of rubberized asphalt that uses recycled tires.  
  
  - Maccaud Park Upgrade:  The 95% design package is approved and the RFP will be issued shortly
  
  - Helen Fathers Centre Street Walkway: The project is proceeding with 100% submission scheduled on March 23 now that staff have reviewed and approved the 90% Detailed Design. 
  
  - Review Options for Upgrading Multiple Hillside Walkways (Road Ends) to the Waterfront:  Staff are preparing an application for the Federal Active Transportation Infrastructure Fund using the Helen Fathers Centre Street Walkway as the base.  Application deadline is March 28, 2022.  Given the fund only requires 40% City funding and the Walkway is fully funded at $1.55M and another $100K in walkway funding is available, staff plan to bundle two (2) other walkway projects at Dolphin Street and Johnston Road to make a $4M application  The City's share would be the currently funded $1.65M.  
  
  The assumption is that Helen Fathers Centre Street Walkway is the first priority of this bundle, and will be awarded the maximum fund at 60% of the project total and will be built in 2022.  The other two (2) projects will be built in subsequent years.  
  
  
• The City's Relationship with the Semiahmoo First Nation (SFN):  Staff are working with SFN Council to see when they will be ready to meet again to discuss the draft Communications Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
