Options on the Management of Scotch Pond

Options for Management of Scotch Pond To determine the appropriate operating model for Scotch Pond, it is necessary to understand Council’s desired future program for the site. Over the past years, there have been a number of program ideas informally discussed, including but not limited to: • Interpretive centre of the river, the natural environment, and/or Steveston history; • Water sport centre offering recreational boating or kayaking; • Artist-in-residence studio; • Pleasure craft moorage; and • Storage for City assets. Because of its unique heritage value and location within an environmentally sensitive area, any future program would need to fit with heritage and environmental bylaws and regulations. It is recommended that the City: a) undertake a feasibility study to better understand what types of programs would fit the site’s unique heritage and environmental qualities, meet market demand, and match with a suitable operating model, including a review of the options and costs of dredging the pond; and b) update the facility condition assessment with order of magnitude costing to restore the current heritage building and floats. The total cost for this work is $150,000.
