This is nothing – anyone wanting documents – I’ve got them.

The excerpt in the header is from a confidential memo composed by then UBID Administrator, Kevin Douville, who is currently Manager of Financial Planning at the CVRD, providing a detailed timeline of what transpired between Kensington Island Properties, UBID and the CVRD regarding the allegations put forth by KIP and its representatives.
David Godfrey has never disclosed the fact he was a Representative of Kensington Island Properties aka Union Bay Estates. I have challenged him and he refuses to answer.
Since Godfrey refuses to acknowledge his role, I am left wondering exactly when did he become KIP’s ‘Representative’? When he wrote letters to the editor; hosted KIP meetings, took around a petition to force the Molstad UBID Board to extend the expired water agreement; accompanied the developer to Victoria for a meeting with Minister Fassbender begging for intervention; present the petition to the board while threatening a lawsuit if the board didn’t give the extension, why didn’t he disclose he was not acting as a common landowner, he was representing the developer and failed to tell anyone. This is not an oversight – this was intentional. How many years was this going on?
As Trustee, David Godfrey locked out the electorate from Jan. through April 2011. No landowners were allowed to attend the meetings. The only reason it didn’t go longer is because they were turfed out at the 2011 AGM.
As a Trustee, David Godfrey along with 2 other trustees and UBID staff (while the electorate was locked out and a month before the AGM) kept secret from the other 2 duly elected Trustees that UBID was negotiating a Water Infrastructure Agreement with KIP. They only disclosed the fact when Trustees Livesey and Goldswain were presented with a draft of the agreement.
As a Trustee, David Godfrey along with the 2 other trustees touted the agreement as a $1.7 Million ‘gift’ to the community, when it was actually an interest free loan.
Carol Molstad and Anne Alcock were elected instead of Godfrey and Royer at the April 2011 AGM. Board then became: Alan De Jersey, Cleve Goldswain, Bruce Livesey, Carol Molstad and Anne Alcock. Alan De Jersey couldn’t take it when he was outnumbered 4 to 1 – didn’t attend one meeting and then sent in a nasty resignation letter, as though anyone cared. 🙂
Then the truth started to come out about what was in that agreement the trustees approved. Turns out the water treatment plant KIP was planning to install on skids at the same elevation as the current waterworks wouldn’t become the property of UBID until there was a permanent water treatment plant constructed. This $1.7 million ‘gift’ wouldn’t be owned by UBID until a permanent one was built. What benefit would that temporary plant be to UBID if we built a permanent one? The temporary one couldn’t be used as part of the construction of a permanent plant, which might have saved money, because Trustee Alan Webb correctly stated there is no way VIHA would allow our entire water system be shut down moving the temporary one to the permanent site and waiting for it to be operational – it would be crazy.
We didn’t know at this time that Godfrey was touting a ‘gift’ that was actually an interest free loan, so it was the topping on the cake to find out we were getting and interest free loan on something we wouldn’t own until we no longer needed it!
After the WIA in 2011, even though the new Board knew how bad the WIA was, it was a legally binding document that the Molstad Board vowed to honour. VP of KIP never fulfilled any of the conditions required to proceed with the temporary treatment plant, and contacted UBID in Sept. 2014, promising to supply plans. Due to the lack of contact with the developer regarding what he was required to provide, the board had planned on proceeding in the event KIP was unable or unwilling to proceed per the Water Infrastructure Agreement. The WIA lapsed Dec. 31, 2014.
So, KIP kept whining that he wanted an extension on the expired WIA and the UBID Board said NO. Then spring of 2015 Godfrey starts this petition demanding the UBID Board grant the extension on that lousy agreement!
Video below from same month he’s identified as a KIP ‘Representative’.
By this time Godfrey has already accompanied McMahon to Victoria to plead for a facilitator to be appointed because McMahon claims UBID is stalling and Godfrey is there with him to say the residents want that old agreement extended, using their petition as evidence.
Molstad Board hired professional negotiators, Steven Keliher and Hew McConnel to negotiate a new water agreement with KIP. This is VP of KIP, upset because the board wasn’t there to negotiate – faced with professionals, Brian McMahon turned tail and ran, listen to him relaying Mar. 14, 2016, what transpired at the Dec. 1, 2015 meeting. Completely fabricated to further divide the community. A real piece of work and a bonus of having Godfrey spouting misinformation as his representative and not disclosing that fact to the landowners. https://allthingsunionbay.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/34083-yukon-inc-part-one-ws510007-excerpt.mp3
Mar. 8 2016, Godfrey admits the 2011 Water Infrastructure Agreement included an interest free loan – not a gift.
Godfrey also states he has seen the correspondence proving the accusations by the developer of UBID’s lack of responses and that McMahon is prepared to show them to any landowner. Well, all it took was persistence to finally back ole slick into a corner and then he decided I could look at the correspondence IN VANCOUVER. See, it’s all bullshit.
This post contains audio from the KIP meeting in March 2016. The audio is awful but McMahon and Godfrey never allow any recordings of anything KIP related.
All Candidates Meeting Oct. 2016, hosted by David Godfrey – never discloses he is KIP’s representative. Never allows recordings.
This stinks.
