The APC of Rural Area C was challenged by Director Allan Patton and Regional District staff to review and approve three housekeeping changes to policy that included:

1. Development Approval Information
2. Temporary Use Permits and
3. Watercourse Development Permit Area Guidelines

The new policies were reviewed with the help of Planner Malcolm McNaughton. At the end of a 2 and a half hour discussion – all members of the APC had a clear understanding of the changes and endorsed and forwarded them off to Penticton for approval by the entire RDOS Board.

These amendments are related to recent legislative changes, court decisions, changes stemming from the review of other electoral area bylaws as well as improvements identified by staff.

This was the first meeting of the APC with its new chair Bill Michael who replaced the late Harold King.
