‘That Bytaw No. 2062 be read a first three ti

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

The amendments to the City's Bullding Administration Bylaw No.
1298 that would be implemented by Bylaw No. 2062 have been
approved by our solicitor. These amendments arise out of
comments made by the Supreme Court of Canada in a recent case
involving the City of Kamloops Buliding Bylaw. The amendments
wiftl have the effect of relieving the City's Building Inspector
from a statutory duty of enforcement of the dsylaw but the
City's common law duty of enforcement or other duties which may
arfse when ft has knowledge of a violation of the bull ding
regulations will remain in effect.

The changes to be impiemented by the amending bylaw bring its
wording more into line with the City's actual practice and the
proposed changes have been reviewed and approved by our
Building !tnspector, Mr. Nick Chernoff.
