Mayor and Council:

Re: Planning Land Acquisition and Site Development Charges for Schools

For rapidly growing municipalities, the provision and development of school sites is a major issue.
School District No. 34 (Abbots‘ord) and the District of Matsqui are very concerned over ensuring
co-ordination and a fair distribution of costs for the development of school sites. :

Attached to this letter is a copy of a joint submission from Matsqui and School District No. 34 to
the Honourable Anita Hagen, Minister of Education and Minister Responsible for Mutti-Culturalism
and Human Rights. The letter conveys five recommendations for improving co-ordination and the
fair distribution of costs for development of school sites. School District No. 34 has forwarded a
copy of this letter to all school districts in the province with a view to having them support the five
recommendations.

| have chosen to forward this fetter to a number of municipalities seeking their support foi the five
recommendations. it is respectfully requested that your Council support the position taken by
Schoo! District No. 34 and the District of Matsqui by informing the Minister of Education of that
support. If you require any further information please feel free to contact me.

Yours truly,

Au,

Dave Kandal
Mayor
