A)
|
Burnaby Arts Council
Re:
Review of Proposal for a New Art Gallery
Speakers: David Handelman, Maria
Parolin, Michael Suk
|
|
Mr. David Handelman, Ms. Maria Parolin
and
Mr. Michael Suk
appeared before Council and provided comments on the staff report “Review of
Burnaby Arts Council Proposal for a New Art Gallery”, Item 6 (A) on the
Council agenda. Mr. Handelman stated that the City’s Arts Policy is 27 years
old and does not reflect demographic, cultural and diversity changes since the
original policy was developed. Such changes warrant a review and update of the
policy. The speaker asserted broad community support for the development of a
new art gallery and referenced the limitations of the current gallery. Due to
structural components of the existing gallery, it is no longer considered a
Class 2 gallery, limiting the types of art shows the gallery is able to host.
Ms. Parolin stated that a new art
gallery would keep arts and culture at the forefront of the community, would
cultivate growth in the industry, promote cultural traditions and enhance the
creative capacity of Burnaby residents. Through the development of a Class 2
gallery, Burnaby would be able and well suited to host local and global high-end
art exhibits encouraging tourism activities.
Mayor Corrigan encouraged the
delegation to submit further comments in writing.

B)
|
Vic Blancard
Re:
Home Owner Grant & Increased Property Tax
Speaker: Vic Blancard
|
|
Mr. Vic Blancard appeared before Council
and expressed concerns regarding his property taxes. The speaker criticized
property assessment values, and the City’s property tax and utility charge
increases. The speaker requested Council use annual revenue surpluses to
decrease property taxes throughout the City.
|
C)
|
Earl Pollitt
Re:
Principles of Development
Speakers: Earl Pollitt, Stephen
Samuel
|
|
Mr. Earl Pollitt and Mr. Stephen Samuel appeared before Council
and spoke in opposition to the proposed Metrotown Plan Update.
Mr. Samuel highlighted the Metrotown’s
diverse population, and believes the proposed Metrotown Plan Update will
negatively impact the identity of the Metrotown community. The speaker
referenced “A People’s Metrotown Plan” prepared by Stop Demovictions
Burnaby, and requested that Council consider rental protection policies
outlined in the plan, specifically those outlined within Principle 1:
Development without Displacement.
Mr. Pollitt stated that development
should not result in displacement, and proposed policy options that would seek
to relocate existing tenants to temporary housing in order to facilitate
development. The speaker asserted that Council can better control development
by restricting and reducing the number of approved zoning bylaw amendments. Mr.
Pollitt requested Council prioritize existing residents over development and
ensure housing security through a three-stage non-market housing development
plan as outlined in “A People’s Metrotown Plan”.
