Dear Mayor Scott:

LIVABLE REGION POLICIES FLOODPLAIN POLICY REPORT

At the Board meeting on 25 October, it was decided to defer consideration of GVRD Planning Committee's report and recommendations on Floodploin Policy for a month in order to allow the various councils to study the matter.

The Committee has also recently developed a number of policy statements in response to the concerns being expressed by citizens in the series of meetings being held with various groups and orgonizations throughout the Region under the Livable Region Program, Some of these statements were reviewed -by the Board at its October meeting, but it is intended to present the full set in a report te the Board at the end of November.
