______MAYOR COUNTY MANAGER

MINUTES of the regular County Council Meeting held Tuesday, December 3, ... Page 5 of 33 December 17, 2019 – Report No. 6.1 ADMINISTRATION REPORT

To: Red Deer County Council

From: Corporate Services

Date: December 10, 2019

Re: 2020-2022RedDeerCountyBudget

Further consideration of Red Deer County’s multi-year budget representing 2020 - 2022 for Operating expenditures (3 year) and 2020 - 2024 for Capital projects (5 year) for final approval. The following documents outline Red Deer County budgets.

1. Overall Consolidated Budget 2. Net Service Level Budget 3. Capital Plan & Key Initiatives 4. Projected Reserve Position

Administration presented a draft budget on December 3, 2019, for your consideration. At that time, Council tabled the budget to facilitate public input, with the intent to pass the 2020-2022 Operating budget and the 2020-2024 Capital budget at the December 17, 2019, Council meeting. A media release was sent out to the public and details were posted on our website, Facebook and Twitter feeds. A resident of Springbrook called to inquire about the Trails line item in the budget noting their support for this proposed funding.

Council priorities that have been considered in this budget include:

 Intermunicipal Collaboration Frameworks  Junction 42 development  Transportation network upgrades  Broadband Strategy – fibre optic high speed internet  Recreation initiatives – master plan, partnerships and programming

Since the December 3 meeting, the provincial government has downloaded policing costs to rural and smaller municipalities with a phased in police costing model over the next 5 years. Administration has included this additional requisition in the 3 year operating budget for this purpose as well as

Operating and Capital Budgets – further consideration of the 2020 to 202... Page 6 of 33 additional levy to collect the additional cost. Administration is hopeful that this will address the increase in rural crime.

In summary, the following is the breakdown of the total gross expenditures:

2019 (projected) 2020 2021 2022

Capital $27,330,775 $32,333,937 $29,373,230 $22,117,388

Operating 49,554,074 54,392,881 53,088,948 54,511,041

Total $76,884,849 $86,726,818 $82,462,178 $76,628,429

SUMMARY

Council’s Strategic Plan for the County continues to maintain current services levels as well as preparing for future development. The maintenance of our current infrastructure such as bridges, roads, buildings and utility systems is an integral theme to this budget. Another key feature is land development which will diversify our revenue base. This budget uses a significant draw on reserves, which in the long term is not sustainable, however, it is temporary and fully within the intent of the reserves.

As always, we look forward to responding to your concerns and questions.

RECOMMENDATIONS

To approve the 2020-2022 Operating budget and the 2020-2024 Capital budget to enable Administration to provide County services.

Memo To: County Council

From: Planning & Development Services

Subject: Red Deer County & Kneehill County Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework/ Division 1

1.0 PURPOSE

 To consider granting all three readings to a bylaw that proposes to adopt the Red Deer County and Kneehill County Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework as per the attached Schedule A.

2.0 SUMMARY

 As a result of recent updates to the Municipal Government Act (MGA), the Province requires all municipalities that share a common boundary to adopt an Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF).  As per the MGA, the ICF must include three main components:  a list of all services that are currently delivered by each municipality;  information on how services are delivered, funded and implemented intermunicipally; and  a dispute resolution mechanism for resolving disputes that involve the ICF and any agreements referred to within the ICF.  Representatives from both municipalities have met to discuss the proposed ICF and have agreed on the items included in the attached draft document.  To complete the ICF process, the MGA requires both municipalities to adopt matching ICF bylaws.  Kneehill County Council adopted their ICF bylaw on December 10, 2019.  Once both bylaws have been approved the ICF will be submitted to the Province.

3.0 ALTERNATIVES

a) Grant first, second and third readings to the bylaw that proposes to adopt the Red Deer County & Kneehill County Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework;

b) Refer decision on the proposed Bylaw pending further information;

c) Deny.

Red Deer County & Kneehill County Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework... Page 18 of 33 WHEREAS, Red Deer County and Kneehill County share a common border; and

WHEREAS, Red Deer County and Kneehill County share common interests and are desirous of working together to provide services to their residents; and

WHEREAS, the Municipal Government Act stipulates that Municipalities that have a common boundary must create an Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework with each other that identifies the services provided by each Municipality, which services are best provided on an intermunicipal basis, and how services to be provided on an intermunicipal basis will be delivered and funded.

NOW THEREFORE, by mutual covenant of both Municipalities it is agreed as follows:

A. TERM AND REVIEW

1) In accordance with the Municipal Government Act, this Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework shall come into force on final passing of matching bylaws that contain the Framework by both Municipalities.

2) This Framework may be amended by mutual consent of both Municipalities unless specified otherwise in this Framework.

3) It is agreed by the Municipalities that the Intermunicipal Committee shall review at least once every four years, commencing no later than 2023, the terms and conditions of the agreement.

B. INTERMUNICIPAL COOPERATION

1) The Intermunicipal Committee established under the Intermunicipal Development Plan is the forum for reviewing the Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework.

C. GENERAL TERMS

1) Both Municipalities agree that in consideration of the service agreements outlined in Section D(2) that residents of the Municipalities will be afforded the same services at the same costs, including user fees, as Kneehill County residents for services provided by Red Deer County and Red Deer County residents for services provided by Kneehill County.

D. MUNICIPAL SERVICES

1) Both Municipalities have reviewed the services offered to residents. Based on the review it has been determined that each Municipality will continue to provide the following services to their residents independently: a. Transportation b. Water and Wastewater

Page 2 of 8

Red Deer County & Kneehill County Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework... Page 19 of 33 c. Solid Waste d. Emergency Services e. Recreation f. Administrative Services g. Affordable Housing h. Municipal Administration i. Agricultural Services j. Animal Control k. Assessment Services l. Bylaw Enforcement m. Information Technology n. Pest Control o. Police Services p. Purchasing/Procurement Services q. Weed Inspection

2) The Municipalities have a history of working together to provide municipal services to the residents on an intermunicipal basis, with the following services being provided directly or indirectly to their residents:

a. Transportation o The two Municipalities have an informal agreement with regards to grader maintaining and snow removal due to the geographical alignment of existing roads along the municipal border. i. Kneehill County will grader maintain and provide snow removal on Township Road 35-0 travelling east of Range Road 24-0 to Highway 21 for approximately two miles. ii. Red Deer County will grader maintain and provide snow removal on Range Road 22-2 south of Township Road 35-0 for approximately 160 meters to the existing residence approach. iii. Red Deer County will grader maintain and provide snow removal on Range Road 21-4 south of Township Road 35-0 for approximately 650 meters to the end of the gravel past the existing residence approach. Any road construction, culvert replacement, signs (new or replacements), ditching, vegetation control, brushing and regravelling will be the responsibility of the municipality who has direct control and management as outlined in the MGA. These and other road maintenance agreements may be developed administratively through a Memorandum of Understanding from time to time.

b. Emergency Services o The Municipalities have the following agreements in place to aid in the event of emergencies:

Page 3 of 8

Red Deer County & Kneehill County Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework... Page 20 of 33 i. The Emergency Services Mutual Aid Agreement between Red Deer County and Kneehill County which was signed in March 2004. As a mutual aid agreement there is no managing partner. Cost sharing is done on a location basis with the Municipality responsible for the emergency paying the costs.

c. Intermunicipal Development Plan o The two Municipalities entered into an Intermunicipal Development Plan in 2019 (Red Deer County Bylaw 2019/25 & Kneehill County Bylaw 1802), in accordance with the Municipal Government Act. The Intermunicipal Development Plan will be reviewed in conjunction with the Intermunicipal Collaborative Framework.

3) The Municipalities acknowledge that in addition to the shared service agreements in place between Kneehill County and Red Deer County, they each have independent agreements with other regional partners.

4) The Municipalities have reviewed the aforementioned existing agreements and have determined that these are the most appropriate municipal services to be conducted in a shared manner.

E. FUTURE PROJECTS & AGREEMENTS

1) In the event that either Municipality initiates the development of a new project and/or service that may require a new cost-sharing agreement, the initiating Municipality’s Chief Administrative Officer will notify the other Municipality’s Chief Administrative Officer in writing.

2) The initial notification will include a general description of the project, estimated costs and timing of expenditures. The other party will advise if they have objections in principle to provide funding to the project and provide reasons. An opportunity will be provided to discuss the project at the Intermunicipal Committee.

3) The following criteria will be used when assessing the desirability of funding of new projects: a. Relationship of the proposed capital project to the Intermunicipal Development Plan, or any other regional long term planning document prepared by the Municipality; b. The level of community support; c. The nature of the project; d. The demonstrated effort by volunteers to raise funds and obtain grants (if applicable); e. The projected operating costs for new capital projects; f. Municipal debt limit; and, g. Projected utilization by residents of both Municipalities.

Page 4 of 8

Red Deer County & Kneehill County Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework... Page 21 of 33 4) Once either Municipality has received written notice of a new project, an Intermunicipal Committee meeting must be held within thirty (30) calendar days of the date the written notice was received, unless both Chief Administrative Officers agree otherwise.

5) The Intermunicipal Committee will be the forum used to discuss and review future mutual aid agreements and/or cost sharing agreements. In the event the Intermunicipal Committee is unable to reach an agreement, the dispute shall be dealt with through the procedure outlined within Section F of this document.

6) Both Municipalities recognize that the decision to participate in or not participate in a project ultimately lies with the respective municipal councils, who in turn must rely on the support of their electorate to support the project and any borrowing that could be required.

F. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

1) The Municipalities are committed to resolving any disputes in a non-adversarial, informal and cost-efficient manner.

2) The Municipalities shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve all disputes by negotiation and agree to provide, without prejudice, open and timely disclosure of relevant facts, information and documents to facilitate negotiations.

3) In the event of a dispute, the Municipalities agree that they shall undertake a process to promote the resolution of the dispute in the following order: a. negotiation; b. mediation; and c. binding arbitration.

4) If any dispute arises between the Municipalities regarding the interpretation, implementation or application of this Framework or any contravention or alleged contravention of this Framework, the dispute will be resolved through the binding Dispute Resolution Process outlined herein.

5) If the Dispute Resolution Process is invoked, the Municipalities shall continue to perform their obligations described in this Framework until such time as the Dispute Resolution Process is complete.

6) Despite F(4), where an existing intermunicipal agreement has a binding dispute resolution process included in the agreement, the existing intermunicipal agreement shall be used instead of the dispute resolution outlined in this Framework.

7) A party shall give written notice (“Dispute Notice”) to the other party of a dispute and outline in reasonable detail the relevant information concerning the dispute. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Dispute Notice, the Intermunicipal

Page 5 of 8

Red Deer County & Kneehill County Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework... Page 22 of 33 Committee shall meet and attempt to resolve the dispute through discussion and negotiation, unless a time extension is mutually agreed to by the CAOs. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of the Dispute Notice being issued, the negotiation shall be deemed to have failed.

8) If the Municipalities cannot resolve the dispute through negotiation within the prescribed time period, then the dispute shall be referred to mediation.

9) Either party shall be entitled to provide the other party with a written notice (“Mediation Notice”) specifying: a. The subject matters remaining in dispute, and the details of the matters in dispute that are to be mediated; and b. The nomination of an individual to act as the mediator.

10) The Municipalities shall, within thirty (30) days of the Mediation Notice, jointly nominate or agree upon a mediator.

1.0 PURPOSE

To consider approval for two proposed street names within the Liberty Landing Phase 1B Residential Subdivision as follows:

 Linden Place Road; and  Legacy Road

2.0 SUMMARY

 The parcel is located west of Laura Avenue, north of McKenzie Road and south of Waskasoo Avenue, within the Hamlet of Gasoline Alley.  The proposed street names are located within the Phase 1B subdivision that was approved by MPC on September 3, 2019. This phase contains 51 residential lots.  The Applicant is proposing to name the two streets within the new development as Linden Place Road and Legacy Road.  In accordance with the Policy for Subdivision and Roadway Naming, Roadways may include names of persons of honor, community importance, or of historical significance in Red Deer County should be used where appropriate. Recognition of these persons shall not be restricted to only County residents, but may be extended to include persons who have made a significant contribution at a Provincial, National or International level.  In 2017, Council approved a similar name to be used as street address within Phase 1A of this subdivision (Latoria Court).  In accordance with Policy, it is preferred that the first letter of the street be the same letter as the name of the subdivision.  The only residential subdivisions that are identified by street names are those located within the various hamlets within Red Deer County. These names do not necessarily start with the same letter as the subdivision.  All other residential multi lot subdivisions are identified by the blue sign address (Range Road or Township Road) that is located at the entrance of the subdivision and each lot by a unit number within subdivision.  The developer is responsible for making suitable arrangements with Canada Post for postal service to the new lot(s).

Memo To: County Council

From: Land Management

Subject: Bylaw No. 2019/28 - Designation of a Portion of MR adjacent to the Benalto Fair and Stampede Grounds – Plan 1823354 Block 1 Lot 6MR SW 31-38-2-5 (Division 5)

1.0 PURPOSE

 To Hold a Public Hearing for Bylaw No. 2019/28 to remove the Municipal Reserve (MR) Designation from an approximate 0.76 acre portion of Lot 6MR, Block 1, Plan 1823354, SW 31-38-2-5, for the following purposes:  Approximate 0.26 acres to be transferred to the Benalto Agricultural Society to facilitate the expansion of the Society’s grounds; and  Approximate 0.5 acres to be used to construct a second public access road to these lands (registered County Road Plan).

 And, to consider an agreement for Lot 5MR and the remainder of Lot 6MR to be leased to the Benalto Agricultural Society to allow the Society to use these lands for additional parking as events require.

2.0 BACKGROUND

 An approximate 0.26 Acres of the above noted Municipal Reserve would facilitate possible expansion of the Benalto Agricultural Society grounds.

 The 0.5-Acre portion would be used to construct a secondary access road that would be registered as Road Plan.

 Following adoption of Bylaw No. 2019/28, a subdivision application will be processed for the subdivision of the 0.26-acre parcel to be consolidated with adjacent Lot 1, Block A, Plan 9321618, SW 31-38-2-5 (Benalto Agricultural Society lands); and the registration of the public Road Plan for the proposed 0.5-acre parcel.

 Administration recommends that the County gift the 0.26-acre parcel to the Benalto Agricultural Society, and that Red Deer County cover the subdivision application fees and land survey costs.

 The Benalto Agricultural Society has also forwarded a request to the County for the temporary use (i.e. lease) of the remainder of Lot 6MR and Lot 5MR for parking when large events are scheduled at the grounds (i.e. Benalto Rodeo). This can be accommodated by requiring the Ag Society to enter into an agreement with the County that would provide them with the authority for temporary use of these properties when these events are occurring.

4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

 Give 2nd and 3rd reading to Bylaw No. 2019/28 to remove the MR designation from an approximate 0.76 Acres of Plan 1823354 Block 1 Lot 6MR;
