The specific goal is incorporation of the UEL into a real municipality, not to explore all possible options. From what I remember, a general review was done before my time in the UEL that included options like joining Vancouver, incorporating with the UNA and UBC, etc. The outcome was that anything other than a UEL incorporation was not desirable for UEL residents.
