Parcel charge will pay for waier reservoir An increase in Central Saa- nich’s water parcel charge to $117 annually from $93 annually will be required to pay construction costs for a new reservoir on Mt. Newton. On July 27, Central Saanich approved the bylaw allowing the money to be borrowed for the project. Municipal engineer Al Mackey said a $24 annual increase in water parcel charges will offset Central Saanich’s share of a $3.9 million Mt. Newton reservoir system being constructed by the Capital Region- al District. The district plans to built a one-million gallon concrete reser- voir along an existing cleared right-of-way within John Dean Provincial Park. The reservoir will serve Central Saanich, North Saa- nich and Sidney. Central Saanich’s share of the cost will be $111,000 annually over the next 20 years. Municipal staff get raise in pay Retroactive salary increases for Central Saanich staff were approved at the July 27 council meeting. Council members approved a 3.53 per cent increase effective _ January 1 for municipal officers. Municipal staff received a 2.5 per cent increase effective Jan. 1 and a two per cent increase effec- tive July 1. Beach siructures are questioned Wind shelters constructed behind recreational vehicles parked on two private, Island View beach recreational vehicle parks drew the attention of Central Saa- nich council July 27. Ald. Bruce Tobin asked if staff could identify the area occupied by the recreational vehicle parks and also determine if there are any guidelines establishing what can be placed on those sites. Virginia Mosvold, operator of one of the parks, said the struc- tures are temporary wind shelters which are removed at the end of September. Speaking on behalf of the other park, Florence Michell said the wind shelters have been erected by campers at the beach for the past four to five years.
