This AAP has now closed. Results will be brought forward to the SCRD Board at the July 25 Board Meeting. An agenda will be available prior to this meeting taking place at www.scrd.ca/agendas.
-----
An Alternative Approval Process (AAP) is a cost-effective method to engage with the community to determine whether there is support for certain initiatives, such as long-term borrowing, or other service-related projects. If 10% or more of the eligible electors oppose the initiative, the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) cannot proceed with it and must consider other options including going to an assent vote (referendum).
The SCRD is proposing to utilize long-term borrowing to fund the Gibsons/West Howe Sound Fire Protection Service Fire Engine replacement project described in the "Notice for Alternative Approval Process" (on the top right ).
Eligible electors may submit an Elector Response Form to indicate their opposition to the SCRD utilizing long-term borrowing to fund this initiative.
The response must be in the form established by the SCRD or be an accurate copy of the elector response form. Forms are available at the SCRD Field Road Administration office or online at www.scrd.ca/aap.
Three Ways to Submit an Elector Response Form to Oppose the Proposed Loan Authorization Bylaw(s):
Email legislative@scrd.ca (Emailed copies of elector response forms must be a legible hand-signed scanned copy).
