ELECTORAL AREAS A, B, AND C DANGEROUS AND AGGRESSIVE DOG CONTROL SERVICE
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Directors (the Board) of the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) proposes to proceed with the adoption of Electoral Areas A, B, and C Dangerous and Aggressive Dog Control Service Establishment Bylaw No. 3067, 2026.
PURPOSE:
The bylaw, if adopted, will establish a service for the regulation of dangerous and aggressive dogs.
AREA:
The proposed service area will include Electoral Areas A, B, and C.
RATE IMPLICATIONS:
The proposed maximum annual allowable requisition for the service is $90,000 or 0.033 per $1,000 of taxable assessed value of land and improvements, whichever is greater.
ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS (AAP):
Under Section 86 of the Community Charter, approval of the electors within the service area is being sought by means of an AAP. Therefore, eligible electors within the service area opposed to the RDCK adopting Bylaw No. 3067 may petition against the adoption by signing an Elector Response Form.
At least 10% of electors must petition against the proposal prior to the deadline date in order to prevent the Board from adopting the Bylaw.
The Board has resolved that a fair estimate of the number of electors in the subject area is 7674. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 86 of the Community Charter, 767 or more electors must sign the Elector Response Form to prevent the Board from proceeding.
