MIID Responsibilities
What is an Improvement District? A form of elected “local government” individually set up in the past by the BC Government so that unorganised territories could provide themselves with specific municipal-like services and functions. Now (2006) outmoded because of the creation of Regional Districts throughout the province and which provide all manner of municipal services and functions.
Because we were given “Letters Patent” by the Lieutenant-Governor of BC and these pre-date the establishment of Regional Districts; and Because we have never applied to become a part of the Capital Regional District (“CRD”). Why Should We Continue to Exist? Because we are the last element of “island-wide democracy” on Mayne Island. Because we provide local control and management over important institutions to our island. We are individuals known by and accessible to most islanders. We can manage our own projects and operations more cost-effectively than any regional or municipal government. What We Do Manage our resources and properties as well as maintain accurate and transparent financial records. Provide governance and oversight to the Fire Department. Prepare and pass Bylaws for our activities as well as for our revenues and major capital expenditures. Hold regular public meetings on the island. What Dangers do we need to prepare for?

Emergency Services Complex Design & Construction Volunteer Task Force The Mayne Island Improvement District (“MIID”) is forming a Volunteer Task Force for the Design and Construction Review of the proposed Emergency Services Complex. The Task Force will be composed of Mayne Island property owners who are (a) interested in, and (b) qualified to, conduct a review of this specialized set of buildings and provide direct guidance to the MIID. Given the immediate need to replace the current Fire Hall and associated buildings it is hoped that the Task Force can be formed early in 2010. It is further hoped that construction of a recommended design could commence in 2011. This Task Force will provide qualified Mayne Island property owners with the opportunity for direct involvement in the design and construction process. Please see our advertisement in the December 2009 – January 2010 MayneLiner or click here for more details. Task Force members must be willing to serve for an unspecified term in a positive problem-resolving manner and have the commitment to participate fully in all the deliberations. ____________ If you are a registered Mayne Island property owner and wish to receive a copy of the audited Financial Statements for YE 2009 prior to the Annual General Meeting to be held on Saturday April 17th 2010, please email or phone the Administrator. In doing so, please be sure to provide the following: 1. Name; Administrator __________ MIID Annual General Meeting, Saturday April 17th 2010 @ 1:30PM at the Ag Hall..
