Just to sort out any confusion…,
The recent flyer that you received from this Blog or via email or in your mailbox was produced prior to the Monday October 22, 2007 Coldstream Council meeting at which a couple of notable changes were made to the information contained in the flyer.
At that meeting Bill Firman made a motion, seconded by Jim Garlick, to delete from the wording of the upcoming referendum, the following bracketed statement: “(this proposal is for change of use, not removal from the Agricultural Land Reserve)”.
Bill and Jim pointed out that this wording is misleading and deceptive because, if developed for a sports complex, the land would cease to be available for agricultural development which would amount to the same thing as taking it out of the ALR (The Coldstream Meadows development is an example).
Council voted 4 to 3 to delete that phrase from the referendum question.
Note also that Council also changed the date of the referendum from December 8 to December 15.
Please don’t forget to sign the letter to Mayor and Council on the back of the flyer and return it to the Coldstream Municipal Hall as soon as possible!
