Most of these os have both capital and operating Hints, and these are reflected in lipal budgetary requirements. ii port of such services local '<lments need to borrow money and Irrowing level in 1981 was (156,158 (Cdn.). In addition, there are i ajor sources of revenue for n palities: grants and shared-cost cims through the Ministry and revenue property tax. Grants and shared-cost rims accounted for 98% of Ministry Kditure in 1981; real property taxes r981 are expected to increase by 64% pve years ago, because of the tuing rapid growth in urban unities. (ificant factor in the growth of local eiment is the new incorporation of 3 palities.

The Ministry has also encouraged the improvement of local government administration through scholarships awarded in amounts from $75-$1,300 to senior and junior staff in local government. In addition, shields were awarded to the following categories of local government for improving the participation by voters in their municipal elections: ANNUAL SHIELD AWARD 1980 Voter Turnout Category Recipient (Percentage) Cities and Towns Kimberley 70.30 Districts Whistler 64.0 Villages Invermere 92.22 Second place recipients were Quesnel (cities and towns) with 68.25%, Port Hardy (districts) with 63.8%, and Clinton (villages) with 77.39%. In conclusion, as part of the continuing effort to provide the best possible service to local government in British Columbia, the Ministry has been extensively re-organized during the past year. It is our hope that this re-organization, together with our many programs for assistance, will improve further the quality of local government.

The Branch also evaluates information and prepares documentation on such matters as boundary extensions, regional district functions and improvement district administration. Advisory services are also provided to local and regional governments. New Incorporations and Other Changes in Local Government Structure Letters Patent were issued on April 9,1981, for the incorporation of the District of Tumbler Ridge, in conjunction with the development of the coal resources in the Tumbler Ridge area of north-eastern British Columbia. The municipality expects to provide a well-planned and socially cohesive community conducive to attracting and retaining a stable work force. The Minister of Municipal Affairs directed that polls be held on the restructuring of certain local governments. New incorporations resulted, as follows: WILLIAMS LAKE, where the result of the poll was affirmed by Letters Patent issued September 18,1981, incorporating the City of Williams Lake. The same Letters Patent provided for the dissolution of the Glendale Improvement District. REVELSTOKE-BIG EDDY, where the result of the poll was affirmed by Letters Patent issued November 5, 1981, incorporating the City of Revelstoke, effective December 14, 1981. CLEARWATER, NORTH THOMPSON. A negative vote on the question of incorporation of Clearwater, in the North Thompson area, was the result of a poll held following a study by a local committee. Other Changes: VILLAGE OF ELKFORD, was changlp to a district municipality by Letters Patent issued and effective on Octobe 9,1981. Because of continuing local interest, reviews of government structure continu® in the Sicamous area. Studies were also initiated in Barriere; Canal Flats; Fort St. John; Genelle; Nakusp; Osoyoos; Parks™ and Qualicum Beach, including portions ffl\ the French Creek area; Pender HarbourH University Endowment Lands and Vanderhoof. The tax burden of residential taxpayers in the greater Trail area may be lightened as the result of a study on the regionalizatidffij of local government services. The benefit could come from the use of the regionajM hospital district assessment base for the provision of the services as a function of the regional district. In November, 1981, the electorate of the municipalities of Trail, Rossland, FruitvaliJ Montrose and Warfield and Electoral Areas A and B of the Regional District of Kootenay-Boundary voted in favour of the regional district assuming the functions of Cemetery Services, Refuse Disposal, Airport Services, Recreational and Cultural Services, Fire Protection and Transit Services on behalf of the residents of thos< areas. (See Table 1 — Municipal Boundary Revisions —1981.) Bylaws Approved by the Minister During 1981,1,516 bylaws were considerei and approved by the Minister, as follows: Municipalities Total Abandonment and vesting of highways 85 Water, sewer and electricity rates 157 Appointment of members to Municipal Boards of Variance 86 Floodplain authorization (Municipalities Enabling and Validating Act, Section 187) 272 Other municipal requirements 287 Ministry of Municipa Vmal Districts •odivision, zoning and [and use 493 ■Ointment of members to Regional Boards I if Variance 8 lilding 7 tier regional requirements 90 598 Ite Trust lious bylaws relating to Land Use 31 31 Total Specified Areas 1,516 J During 1981, changes were made in lime review and approval procedure for certain bylaws in these categories. : Planning Branch became responsible for review of Floodplain authorization, E subdivision, zoning and land use E bylaws of Regional Districts, and Islands Trust bylaws.

Sixty-eight of these related to liial districts, 57 to improvement stuts, 23 to municipal boundary lesions, 2 to transit services and 12 for Ellaneous purposes. onal District Activities prij 1981, there was a resurgence in the Bis of all regional districts, resulting in pfn functions being assigned to 28 Si' al districts. aiition, 32 supplementary Letters Patent Bssued amending existing functions, Byample: alteration of cost ptionment formulae and mill rate (lions, increases in authorized pTving for various capital projects and pi wis to member municipalities. Forty-two specified areas were established in 1981. Of these areas, 16 were by petition and 26 after property owners voted for the proposal. In addition, amendments were completed for boundaries to 18 specified areas already established. Before regional government was introduced, community services administered locally in non-municipal areas were provided through the incorporation of improvement districts. New local service needs for non-municipal areas (with the exception of water, irrigation and dykes) are almost all provided and financed by regional districts. Many of the specified areas have been established adjacent to municipal boundaries. As demand for further services develops, the trend will be towards the incorporation of these areas within present municipal boundaries. Isolated specified areas will probably retain their non- municipal status.

Two hundred and forty-six of these districts maintain water works as their principal function, but may also provide such services as fire protection, street lighting, parks and playgrounds, community halls, sewers, garbage collection, dyking, drainage and cemeteries. Another 31 districts provide fire protection as their main function, with occasional responsibility for street lighting. Seven new improvement districts were incorporated in 1981 for water works or related purposes; six improvement districts were dissolved. One of the six became a Specified Area within a Regional District; one was included within a city municipality; two within a village municipality and two were amalgamated and subsequently incorporated as a new improvement district. Supplementary Letters Patent were issued during 1981 authorizing extensions or revisions to boundaries for 32 improvement districts. One amendment authorized an additional object and one the deletion of an object. Debenture Approval Subsequent to the approval by the Inspector of loan authorization bylaws, certificates of approval are issued by the Ministry authorizing the issue of the actual debentures. Four hundred and thirty-two certificates of approval for loan authorization bylaws or resolutions were issued in 1981, compared with 437 certificates of approval issued in 1980. Security-issuing bylaws formalize the issue of debentures. Two hundred and six security-issuing bylaws were approved in 1981 authorizing the issue of debentures and other terms of indebtedness in the amount of $171,511,716 (Cdn.) 13 Municipal Financial Services Responsibilities The Financial Services Branch is responsible for the financial analysis and review of local government borrowing proposals, utility rates bylaws, annual financial statements and preparation of statistical data. Developments The Branch made 21 field visits in 1981 for the review of financial procedures and problems related to the budget, finance and audit matters experienced by administrative staff at the local government level. Assessment The major source of revenue for municipalities in British Columbia continues to be real property tax. The growth in assessed values of real property, and revenue from taxation of these properties over the past 17 years, is illustrated in Table 2. It should be noted that revenue from this source of taxation in 1980 totalled $1,143,000,000. Of this total, $553,000,000 represented taxation for general municipal purposes and $590,000,000 for school purposes. As a result of the continuing rapid growth in the urban communities, it is anticipated that proceeds from real property taxation for school and general municipal purposes in 1981 will reach $1,300,000,000. This represents an increase of approximately 64% over the revenue of five years ago. Th(" total assessed values actually taxed for I school purposes in the Province in 1981 amounted to $16,786,000,000: an increase m approximately $2,129,000,000 over 1980 3 Of this amount, $13,332,000,000 (or approximately 79%), represented assessed a values in the City, District, Town and Village | municipalities. School Assessment and General Municipal Assessment (1981 Assessments) It should be noted that the difference between the school assessment and the general municipal assessment is the result of a number of municipalities using assessed values determined by The Assessment Act, Section 26(19)(d) i.e., general municipal assessments, are based on 100 per cent of actual market value, while the school assessments are at the percentage of actual market value fixed by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council. The following municipalities apply , Section 26(19)(d): Kamloops Summerland Langley (City) Whistler Nelson Cache Creek North Vancouver (City) Clinton Penticton Cumberland Port Coquitlam Granisle Prince George Lytton ' NorthVancouver(District) Tahsis Stewart Use of Section 26(19)(d) resulted in a difference of $10,087,000,000 between School Assessment and General Municipal Assessment as follows: General Municipal Assessment Less: Adjusted School Assessment School Assessment DEDUCT: Commercial & Industrial Machinery Utility values including B.C.

This represents 61% of municipalities and regional districts' total revenue, excluding school taxes. Of this total, $525, 371,543 is held in liquid form or in investments authorized by statute. A portion of the surplus is represented by arrears of taxes and other receivables. Statutory reserve funds of municipalities and regional districts have again shown an r increase over the previous year. At the end r of 1980 these funds, held for a variety ofS purposes, amounted to $220,902,523, an increase of $54,026,576 over the previous I year. This increase allows for approximated ( $41,000,000 being spent on capital works ' | from reserve funds during the year 1980. The amount held in these reserve funds hair increased from $61,000,000 in 1973 to the > current figure of $221,000,000, an increase a of 262%.

Capital Programs The value of capital projects undertaken during 1980 by municipalities amounted to $770,000,000. Of this total program, work to the value of $568,000,000 was completed during the fiscal year, leaving a balance in progress of $202,000,000 at year-end. In the total capital program municipalities were able to provide $113,000,000 from current general operating and sewer utility operating funds, $41,000,000 from reserve funds and approximately $51,000,000 from grants-in-aid from the Provincial and Federal Governments. The balance of the amount expended was financed by debenture loans, temporary bank loans, and other methods of financing. The activity in this area over the past five years is indicated in Table 5. Summary of Five-Year Capital Expenditure Programs The programs submitted by municipalities and regional districts during 1981, and covering the five year period ending 1985, continued to provide useful information am guidance, not only to the local government bodies involved, but also to the Ministry, other levels of government and various ■ financial institutions. Review of these | submissions and the constructive criticisffl| offered by the Ministry where necessary has led to consistency in program format proving beneficial to all concerned. A summary of the Capital Expenditure Programs by year is provided in Table 6.

A number of it cipalities have established special Movement funds to finance local works; pea have not been included in the figure for preliminary borrowing approval. In addition to the $23,885,881 in debenture debts guaranteed by the Province, (shown in Table 8), $15,638,000 was guaranteed at the end of the year under the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Act. Total debenture debt as at December 31, 1980 for all municipalities, including the City of Vancouver, is shown in Table 9. The debenture debt of the Greater Campbell River Water District, the Greater Nanaimo Water District, the Greater Vancouver Water District, the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District and the Greater Victoria Water District is not included. Debenture sales for all municipalities amounted to $190,796,966 (Cdn) for the year 1980. This resulted in an increase of $94,667,204 in the total outstanding debenture debt of all municipalities for 1980, after giving effect to the retirement of debentures maturing during the year.

Ilarwt 1QR1 31 Islands Trust Responsibilities The Islands Trust is an Agency established in 1974 by an Act of the British Columbia Legislature. The Islands Trust Act gives the Trust the responsibility of preserving and protecting the unique amenities and environment of the Trust Area'for the benefit of the people of the Islands and the Province. Authority for such protection now resides with the Trust, following amendment in 1977 of Islands Trust Act, which transferred authority for all land planning matters on the islands to the Islands Trust from the Regional Districts. There is a General Trust committee for the entire Islands Trust Area which supervises the operation of the Trust office, and considers land planning matters which affect more than one designated group of islands. Three General Trustees make up the General Trust Committee and they are also members of each Local Trust Committee. The General Trustees are elected from among the Local Trustees. There is a Local Trust Committee for each of 13 groups of designated islands. The main island in each of the 13 groups is listed below with the bracketed number indicating the number of associated islands.
