2020-We have budgeted 1,000,000.00 in the Surerus and Kin Park Upgrades project that should be
sufficient to design/engineer both parks and prepare us to go to RFP in 2021. These parks need to be
done in phases over a period of time (5yrs). The total estimated value of these two parks is 21 Million
dollars and the project plan extends over 5 years.
Kin Park was identified as on of the parks in the City to be renovated. The redesign is also necessary
because of the road work taking place starting in 2020 and continuing into 2021. The work being done
2016-17 C2 - Surerus and Kin Park Upgrades 1,000,000

We will investigate whether the CDI requires the 2021 time and if not we will increase the 2020
contribution to 195,000 and wrap the project at year end 2020.

2020 - This project has been carried forward from 2017. It remains on the work plan for 2020 in the
hope that we can define scope. Creation of a Public Art Policy
The development of a Public Art Policy will impact overall economic, social, and cultural development
within the City. It may also encourage and enhance local business and tourism plans. Among the
2016-46 C5 - Public Art Policy many considerations, the policy must identify goals and objectives, guiding principles, definitions, 150,000
public
benefit, administration/management, financial implications, implementation, promotion, potential
committee structure, and a means of evaluating the program. There are quite a number of
considerations when developing a policy of this nature.

Fort St. John is a winter city. As part of a long term strategy to create a sustainable and recruitable
community, make full use of our city assets and revitalize our downtown, we have developed a Winter
City Micro project plan. These funds will be used to create winter city projects either on City owned
2018-51 C5 - Winter Cities Program 150,000
properties or by assisting business or not for profits to implement aspects of the plan.
The projects planned for 2020 will focus on Mathews park with lighting, and a skating loop and

2020- In 2019 work began on an Urban Forest Strategy which is associated with the 100 street
renovations and the downtown plan as well as an overall strategy for the management of our
community tree canopy. The strategy requires an inventory of our Urban Forest which will include
2020-29 C5 - Urban Tree Inventory 100,000
mapping into our GIS system. The inventory would identify, locate, map, determine the condition of
the trees, and make a recommendation on a course of action for each tree and the overall
maintenance and enhancement of our Urban Forest.

have the resources required to meet our obligations in the TLE and ATR process.
There are three phases to the treaty land entitlement process: Phase I includes land selection and (if
necessary) purchase of land, which is the responsibility of First Nations. This phase ends with a
formal Band Council Resolution that transmits the First Nation’s proposal on the land selected to the
C5 - Urban Reserves and Treaty Land
2018-26 Department and requests that the selected land be added to their reserve. Phase II includes, among 50,000
Entitlement
other things, the completion of the required land surveys and environmental assessments. The
Department’s regional offices are very active during this phase. Phase III is primarily the responsibility
of the Department’s head office. It includes seeking approvals through ministerial orders or orders-in-
