Dear Director Anderson and the Strathcona Regional District Board
Please accept this letter as a formal request by the Board of the SCCA, a Federally Registered Charity incorporated under the BC Societies Act, for a Service Tax in support of our Community Center.
The SCCA Board recently passed a motion that: The SCCA request fixed and capped annual Core Support of 46,000.00 indexed to inflation. Core Support defined as follows: Expenses for electricity, heating, garbage collection, telephone, fax, internet, property taxes, insurance, management payroll, janitorial payroll and maintenance.
The residents of Cortes Island indicated strong support for the proposed Service Tax referendum, with 458 signatures, including 293 landowners and 84 Whaletown residents.
Therefore, the SCCA Board of Directors hereby requests that the SRD resurrect the draft service establishment bylaw #75 from 2010 and advance a modified version thereof, to a referendum allowing the citizen's democratic rights to determine taxation in support of our Community Centers.
Respectfully submitted, Julian Ayers, SCCA President, on behalf of the SCCA Board of Directors and SCCA members
