Board of Trustees
BEID is administered by an elected Board of Trustees, one of whom has the additional duty of Chair. Each Trustee is elected for a three-year term by the eligible landowners of BEID. To be eligible to vote, or to be a candidate for Trustee, a person must be eighteen years of age, a Canadian citizen, an owner of land in the improvement district and a BC resident for the previous six months.
BEID’s Letters Patent, applicable sections of the Local Government Act, and other applicable provincial statutes outline the powers that can be exercised by the Board of Trustees. These powers include the ability to enact and enforce its regulations and charges, to assess and collect taxes, to acquire, hold and dispose of lands, to borrow money and to expropriate lands required to carry out its functions. The Board of Trustees exercise these powers through the passage of resolutions and bylaws
