This year's focus is on community development, as well as cross-cultural -•>. learning- The CWY Exchange will bring to Drayton Valley 10 young people (age 17 - 21) from across Canada, 10 from Uruguay , and a Project Leader from each country. They will live in counterpart pairs (one from each country) with host families, and work at volunteer job placements. They will also participate in, and organize group educational activities which foster learning and growth in many areas. The Canadian Project Leader (Janey Steinbach) has been living in Drayton Valley since late March, setting up the program. In the search for I. host homes, she has had very positive responses from farm families, but is still in need of families in town. Participants will live with their hosts from June 25 to Sept 11, and hope to become involved in the daily activities and work of the families. The most important requirement is an openness and enthusiasm to share their life with these two young people. Only one bedroom, and a basic interest in people is necessary! • This is Janey's second year as a Project Leader with the Uruguay ixchange, and she is looking forward to another exciting cultural learning experience with a new group. Janey is also looking for a home for herself, and her Uruguayan counterpart. Sharing with adults would be the most convenient, but she is certainly open to any suggestions!

SSI I ijSl & MEMORANDUM DATE: MAY 2, 1996 TO: LAYNE JOHNSON MUNICIPAL MANAGER jp FROM: TERRY FLEMING f$i SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS SUBJECT: CONCEPT PLAN FOR EXTENSION OF ASPENVIEW SUBDIVISION There are two issues to be addressed that concern the Public Works Department. 1) A ten metre widening should be dedicated from those lands adjacent to RR 73 (Ring Road). This would ofcourse be for future road construction as well a leaving enough room for a possible walkway. 2) I inspected what I believe would be the proposed site for the entrance road into the stage four portion ofthe plan. This would seem a reasonable location for such a road but a couple items to keep in mind are as follows: a) Small triangular corners should be taken beyond the 10 metre road widening to allow for the flaring ofthis future access road where it meets the range road. b) This road is immediately across form an existing driveway into a private residence in our municipality. It may be wise to inform these people as to the possibility ofthis intersection taking place so near their own entrance. With the information given to date, this is a rough picture at best, ofthe areas ofconcern pertaining to the Public Works department. i 3* Report to Council 1 From: Garth Thomson, Project Manager Date: April 22, 1996 Subject: Purchase of Plotter B Recommendation: Approval to purchase the plotter from Norman Wade, as previously approved in the Capital budget.

The soil testing on the Range Road showed unsuitable material in the existing road. If the existing road was flattened out to the required width, an unsuitable subgrade would be the result. This project has been designed to notch out the shoulders and add granular material to the required width. This would incur an extra cost of 260,629.00 "l 11 Options: 1.

For some measures, we have provided corresponding comparisons based on averages calculated for municipalities within a certain population range. These are to be used as a frame ofreference for evaluating your results. Most ofthese measures focus on operating results since there is no meaningful or objective way to measure the relative viability ofinfrastructure. However, it is important to consider foreseeable capital needs when interpreting these measures. A set ofgraph indicators were distributed in fall of1994 based on the information collected under the MACS prescribed financial statement system until the end of 1993. The enclosed indicators have been modified and adjusted due to the change in information available under the FIR reporting system implemented for the 1994 and subsequent reporting years. Consequently, some information is not directly comparable to the graphs that were previously distributed. The transition to the FIR for the 1994 reportingyear delayed the completion ofthese indicators; howeverwe anticipatehaving an updated packagebased on the 1995FIR ready for fall of 1996. Includedwith the comparativeindicators is a graph whichprojects future municipal revenuesand expenditures based on a computer-generated growth formula. The model takes certain previous years' revenues and expenditure patterns and projects the results for future years. Revenues have been adjusted to reflect the changes in the Unconditional Municipal Grant Program. The model is flexible and can accommodate a wide range of''what if" scenarios. Our objectiveis to provide information that you can use for financial evaluationand planning. Please ensure that this information is made available to your treasurer.

Services RECOMMENDATION: That Council determine what position they wish to take regarding the proposed contributions to Hamlet and community organizations for the provision ofservices currently being provided by the Municipal District. REPORT: The attached table provides a summary ofcosts that are incurred by the Municipal District for the provision ofbasic services within Hamlets. As a result ofprevious Council discussion on this matter, it must be determined ifCouncil wishes to approach these Hamlet and community groups with the offer ofmaking these funds available on the condition that they carry out the work that has previously been provided by the municipal district. pi With regards to the issue ofdog control services in the Hamlets, any transfers ofresponsibility to the hamlet organizations must take into consideration the dog control bylaw and the animal control service agreement, which the municipal district has with the current animal control officer. For those groups willing to assume this responsibility, two options are open to them. The first option is that as members ofthe community they would work together using community influence to address dog control issues before the services ofthe animal control officer are required. Once these efforts have failed, then the community group would request that the animal control officer take action to remedy the problem and the cost ofthat action would be paid for by the community organization. The second option would require that any hamlet p wishing to enforce the animal control bylaw would require that a member ofthe community group be formally appointed by Council as an animal control officer. Such a step would require that the current service agreement be amended to allow for other individuals and organizations to also provide those services covered under the existing animal control service agreement. Either option could be implemented successfully with those community groups that are prepared to accept this responsibility, with the first option being the easiest to implement at this time. 5£ As a result ofreviewing these issues, it may also be prudent to consider approaching the owners ofthe mobile home parks with the same offer regardinganimal control services. Once again a decision would have to be made regarding the scope ofaction taken and power given to these property owners in enforcing the animal control bylaw.

Should the recommendation ofthe Task Force be implemented, the result would be many changes to the provision of ambulance servicesthroughoutthe province ofAlberta. One ofthe most noteworthy recommendationsthat would result in significant change, is the proposal that a minimal level ofBLS ambulance service be funded by the health system. Should municipalities wish to increase the level ofservice, they would have the option to do so by paying the increased cost for the additional level ofservice. Anotherissue that may have significant impact on our localregional ambulance authorityarises from recommendation number 4 dealing with the governance of ambulance services. The report recommends the creation of 17 regional ambulance service committees that would be co- terminus with the boundaries of the RegionalHealth Authorities. The role ofthis Regional Ambulance Service Committee would vary within the region depending upon whether the p Minister of Health would provide the necessary approvals for Regional Ambulance Authorities 1 like ours to continue operating asthey have inthe past. Inthe cases where approval is granted, rtherole of the Regional Ambulance Service Committee wouldbe to provideadvise and co ordination between the local Ambulance Authorities and the Regional Health Authorities. In instances where current local Ambulance Authorities do not meet the minimum criteria required m to continue as the governing body forambulance services, the Regional Ambulance Service Committee would become the governing bodyresponsible for the provisionof that service. p Asindicated above, thePembina Valley Regional Ambulance Authority is in the process of I submitting a response that deals with each ofthe recommendations of this Task Force.

We invite your comments. Yours sincerely, Judy Gordon, MLA Lacombe - Stettler Chair, Ground Ambulance Services Task Force Attachment ^ Toward A Model Of Governance And Funding Of Ground Ambulance Services In Alberta (pi I r Ground Ambulance Services Task Force ip> CONSULTATION DOCUMENT jp April 1996 !8j^ (£ INTRODUCTION Over the past few years, substantial changes have occurred in Alberta's health system. These changes have been designed to restructure, streamline and improve the efficiency and coordination of health services. Seventeen Regional Health Authorities have been established. More emphasis isbeing placed on community care. Continuing improvements to treatment mean that people are spending less time in acute care hospitals. Across the province, the role of certain hospitals is changing - some are shifting to community health centres, some are being j!S£> converted to long term care facilities, and some are closing entirely. All of these changes have a direct impact on ambulance services. Currently, there p is awide range of approaches to ground ambulance services across the province. Most are owned and operated by municipalities, but some are operatedby the private sector, volunteers, Native bands and industrial firms. Concerns have been -, raised about inequitable access to ground ambulance services in different parts of the province, lack of coordination and fragmented patient care. There are disparities in paying for ground ambulance services for in-patients and out- m patients. To address these issues and ensure that well coordinated and responsive ground p ambulance services are available across the province. The Ground Ambulance Services Task Force was established by the Minister ofHealth in October 1995. The members are: Judy Gordon, MLA. Lacombe-Stettler, Chair; Paul Langevin, m MLA, Lac La Biche-St. Paul; George Verheire, Ponoka; Jan Bruneau, Calgary; [ Tom Sampson, Calgary; Iris Evans, Sherwood Park; Roelof Heinen, County of Lethbridge; Harley Phillips, Taber; and Leroy Chahley, Edmonton. fp I This draft consultation document report outlines the recommendations of the Task Force, following their review of the issues and alternatives. The recommendations •> are designed to put in place an efficient and effective system for providing ground ambulance services across the province - one which supports new directions in Alberta's health system, and provides Albertans with access to ground ambulance P services when they need them. Draft For Discussion April 12, 1996 \dk r MANDATE OF THE GROUND AMBULANCE SERVICES TASK FORCE P The Ground Ambulance Services Task Force was appointed by the Minister of Health on October 27, 1995. The mandate of the Task Force is: W) "to ensure that present and future ambulance and emergency health initiatives support health system restructuring at the local, regional and provincial levels. The Task Force will build upon the comprehensive analysis completed by the Regional Health Authority Task Force on Ambulance and Patient Transportation." Reporting to the Minister of Health, the work of the Task Force is guided by Alberta Health's Three Year Business Plan. Among the Business Plan's w objectives are to "enhance rural patient transportation services" and "partnership with other levels of government in support of... ambulance services." The Task Force has been asked to make recommendations to the Minister on: ° funding of ambulance services, including the disparity in payment for in patient and out-patient transfers by ground and air ambulance. This is particularly an issue for hospitals being converted to community health centres without 24 hour emergency services and communities without acute care hospitals. ° the timeliness, responsiveness and coordination among ground ambulance operators in meeting patient care needs ° use of local and regional hospitals to admit patients within their respective capabilities ° medical involvement in setting patient care priorities during the dispatching and patient transport processes. This includes the appropriate use of air and ground ambulances, and the role of the dispatch centre medical directors. ° development of outcome measures with respect to patient care, accountability and cost effectiveness Draft For Discussion April 12, 1996 p> W\ £ ° communication systems throughout the province ° ambulance dispatching for pre-hospital and inter-hospital trips ° alternate (other than ambulances) patient transport mechanisms. my UNDERSTANDING THE CONTEXT FOR CHANGE IP As outlined in the introduction, ground ambulance services are provided in a wide variety of ways across the province. There is a need to examine the way in which services are organized and delivered, and the current funding mechanisms. This will ensure that ground ambulance services are well-coordinated and provide timely, responsive service to Albertans. B*| Previous studies Issues surrounding the delivery, governance and funding of ground ambulance services are not new. A number of studies have been done, dating back to 1988. S^l Task Force members reviewed the results of previous studies and initiatives. Two studies are most noteworthy. The report "New Dimensions in Emergency Health Services: an Alberta Solution" was released in 1988. The authors of the report recommended that there is a continuing need to "provide provincial identity and status to ambulance services as part of the health care delivery system, and ... bring co-ordination and direction to air and ground ambulance services" (page 13). More recently, the Regional Health Authority Task Force on Ambulance and Patient Transportation was appointed by the Regional Health Authority Council of Chairs in October 1994. This 18 member group, with representation from major stakeholders, submitted their final report in January 1996. The Regional Health Authority Task Force recommended that Regional Health Authorities govern and fund ground ambulance services, with provincial government funding to support a baseline level of Basic life Support. Both of these reports have provided background for the Task Force. The two reports were accepted "as information" only and were not binding on the Task Force. Draft For Discussion April 12, 1996 r r \> Current Governance Arrangements There is a multitude of ground ambulance governance structures currently in place. 110 agencies/companies operate ground ambulances in 141 locations in Alberta. In terms of ownership and governance: m\ ° 62 are municipally owned (21 of these are hospital-based and 17 are based in fire departments) ° 32 are private sector owned, operating under contract, and ° 6 are operated by volunteers/societies, 3 by Native bands, 5 by industrial firms and 2 by inter-facility transfer providers. These operators completed about 175,000 ambulance trips in 1995. About 117,000 of these were pre-hospital trips, delivering patients to hospitals for emergency treatment. The remaining 58,000 trips involved transferring patients between health care facilities. Current Funding of Ground Ambulances Ambulance services in Alberta are funded by municipalities (primarily grants), the provincial and federal governments (on a "fee for service" basis), and through user fees. Within this level of funding, however, there is a wide range in the level of service provided in different parts of the province. There is no consistent model for funding ground ambulance services. Currently, the total funding of $90 million is as follows: $30 million: Municipalities ° $30 million in grants from requisitioned funds $30 million: Provincial Government ° in-patients being transferred between facilities ($15 million) ° recipients of Social Assistance ($3 million) ° seniors and other subsidized Alberta Blue Cross recipients ($8 million) ° in-province and out-of-province air ambulance ($4 million) $10 million: Federal Government ° $10 million for aboriginal people Draft For Discussion April 12,1996 !^!| 4,1 $20 million: User Fees ° $20 million paid by third party insurance firms Key Issues Based on their review of the current situation, members of the Ground Ambulance Services Task Force identified the following majorissues which have an impact on ambulance services: ° significant reductions in acute care bed numbers, closures of some emergency departments and hospitals, and role conversions of some hospitals to community health centres 0 the increased intensity and complexity of medical intervention needed for emergency patients before they reach hospital ° the need for higher service standards and quality of emergency medical services throughout the province, particularly in rural areas _, ° the differential financial treatment of pre-hospital patients, in-patients and \. out-patients p» ° the potential to deploy emergency medical services staff in "non-traditional roles", and the varying levels of involvement of municipalities in providing ground r ambulance services, and the lack of coordination with Regional Health Authorities across various regions in the province. Draft For Discussion April 12, 1996 p^ ^ CONSIDERING ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES imSS) The Task Force considered a variety of alternative approaches to address the major issues. The Task Force recognizes that areas within the province are unique f^&j geographically and demographically. Municipal ambulance services assume different roles and prominence throughout the province. Any changes to ambulance service governance and delivery models must reflect this diversity. While there is a need to improve coordination, especially with the Regional Health Authorities, the Task Force does not believe that a "one size fits all" approach is acceptable. Within an overall framework, there should be room for flexibility and for maintaining arrangements that are working well and meeting the needs of people in the region. In terms of considering alternative models for governance and service delivery, four alternatives were considered: ° municipal governance and delivery ° a provincially administered model ° Regional Health Authority responsibility with services contracted out, and ° a blend or combination of these models. To assess the alternative models, the Task Force established the following criteria: •«ff| consistency and the provision of a rmmmum uniform standard of Basic Life Support ground ambulance service for all Albertans ° involvement of elected officials and the public in determining the needs and service standards ° coordination and integration of ground ambulance services with other health and hospital services, the provincial air ambulance program and other emergency (fire, police and rescue) services ° appropriate deployment of personnel and the ability to meet their training and development needs ° provision of the highest level of services at the lowest cost ° ease of implementation with an acceptable amount of disruption to the delivery of services while, at the same time, improving integration and coordination Draft For Discussion 7 April 12, 1996 \fl P ° the ability to maintain and improve service standards in areas where ( required, without having a negative impact on the level of service in other areas, and pi ° the ability to meet the principles of effective service delivery, particularly improving integration among ambulance operators. ^ In preparing its recommendations, the Task Force considered these issues along with background information on the current situation. The Task Force's overall f objective isto recommend solutions which will take into account the current ^ strengths of ambulance service delivery in some parts of the province, but at the same time, put in place an improved and more integrated approach along with a consistent method of funding. As a result, the Task Force believes that dual models of municipal and/or Regional Health Authority governance and funding are preferable. • RECOMNDENDATIONS The following sections outline the Task Force recommendations in relation to •«» each component of their mandate. Funding of ground ambulance services :p^ (1) As a starting point, the Task Force believes that ambulance services are a critical and integral element of a comprehensive and restructured health care system. Consequently, the Task Force recommends that the Provincial Government recognize ambulance services as a core health service and that dedicated funding be allocated for this purpose. (2) Specifically, the Task Force recommends that: ° Baseline funding should be provided by the Provincial Government to support the Basic Life Support level of service. Funding should be in the form of conditional grants that require a minimum Basic Life Support standard, and an annual accounting of how the funds were spent li. Draft For Discussion April 12, 1996 AO ° Permanent, yearly renewable funding for ground ambulance services should be provided in a similar manner as other core health services. The Task Force recommends per capita funding, adjusted to accommodate factors such as remoteness and distance. ° In order to meet the most pressing needs, in the short term, provincial funding should be allocated first to rural and smaller communities. Funding to the larger areas now operated by municipalities should be phased in. IL ° Funding for pre-hospital and inter-facility transfers should reflect the fixed and variable costs of providing services, particularly in remote and rural areas * of the province. I ° Funding should reflect the ambulance operator's overhead costs for providing service in a particular area. An incremental fee should be provided for r distance charges and other expenses incurred as a result of transporting patients. r° For cases where the patient pays the cost ofambulance service, a standard and affordable rate, consistent across the province, should be set by the Provincial Government This rate must reflect the balance between user fees p and other sources of ambulance funding. The Task Force specifically addressed the issue of significant disparities in ,p payment practices for in-patient and out-patients transported by ground ambulances. r Currently, payments for patients transferred between hospitals and other health care facilities are provided as follows: P ° inter-hospital transfers by ground ambulance for in-patients are the responsibility of the sending hospital. Regional Health Authorities allocated $15 million from their global budgets in the 1994/95 fiscal year for P> this purpose. ° inter-hospital transfers by ground ambulance of out-patients are the P responsibility of patients or their private insurance companies i? inter-facility transfers of in-patients and out-patients by air are the responsibility of Alberta Health, through the air ambulance program. 95% of air ambulance trips are conducted between hospitals; the remaining 5% are "scene calls." Ground ambulance transfers conducted in support of air ambulance trips are paid by the air ambulance program. Draft For Discussion April 12,1996 1\ This disparity in payment may lead to the following scenarios, among others: ° patients may be admitted to hospital to cover their ground ambulance costs, if they have no insurance ° hospitals may elect to have patients transferred by ground ambulance as out-patients in which case the patient and not the hospital pays for the service, or ° hospitals may opt to transfer more patients by air ambulance which is paid by Alberta Health. (3) The Task Force recommends the following procedures relative to funding in patients and out-patients transported by ground ambulance: ° patients or their insurance companies should continue to be financially responsible for ambulance transportation to the "point of first appropriate treatment", as determined by Provincial Government policy. This will ensure consistency among Regional Health Authorities. ° inter-facility transfers of in-patients and out-patients between the "point of first appropriate treatment" and the source of definitive care should be managed and funded by Regional Health Authorities, with provincial financial support. This means that funding for in-patient and out-patient transfers would be provided on the same basis. ° all long distance inter-regional ground ambulance transfers of emergency patients should be dispatched by either of the two Air Ambulance Dispatch Centres. At the present time, the Northern Air Ambulance Dispatch "^ Centre in High Level currently handles all air ambulance flights originating from locations north of the 11th Baseline, Lacombe. The Southern Air Ambulance Dispatch Centre in Calgary dispatches all air ffffFBsA ambulance flights south of the 11th Baseline, Lacombe. •pl P Draft For Discussion 10 April 12, 1996 up \ i. procedures should be in place to ensure coordination of ground ambulance trips between and within regions, through their dispatch systems. If reasonable and possible, ambulance services returning from receiving hospitals should be able to combine services for patients who need to be transferred back to their home location. Transfers should occur around the clock, provided reasonable notice is given to discharged patients and sending and receiving hospitals. funding for inter-facility transfers must encourage the most cost-effective means oftransportation, subject to medical direction and control. Not all inter-facility transfers of patients need to be conducted by ambulance. The Task Force recognizes that ambulance operators, municipalities and others currently depend on revenue from long distance inter-facility transfers in part to offset the high cost of offering pre-hospital emergency service. Any initiative to reduce the cost of inter-hospital transfers must address their concerns. Timeliness, responsiveness and coordination A new approach to governance Given the changes in Alberta's health system and the need for new approaches to improve coordination, Task Force members believe that there is a need for a new model of accountability of ground ambulance services, to provide a seamless delivery of ground ambulance services throughout the province. As noted earlier, several alternative models were considered by the Task Force including a municipal model, a provincially - administered model, Regional Health p* Authority responsibility and a blend of these approaches. In assessing these alternatives, the Task Force considered the potential for some municipal ambulance services to remain as independent administrative entities. These municipalities acknowledge the benefits of continued close working relationships with Regional Health Authorities. They have suggested the following benefits to remaining as independent administrative entities: ° coordination with other emergency services, such as fire, police and rescue ° the ability to maintain their current high level of service, most often at the Advanced Life Support level Draft For Discussion 11 April 12, 1996 s> ^ ° local control over the level of service can be maintained and services can be upgraded 0 elected municipal councils provide responsiveness to public demands, and • there is local "grass roots" pride of ownership and public recognition. At the same time, the Task Force understands that there are many other parts of the province where municipalities are not as directly involved, or do not have the capability to provide the level of service required. The Task Force also recognizes the need to improve coordination with Regional Health Authorities, in order to support restructuring of the health system and improve services to patients. Clearly, it is not feasible to implement a single model in all parts of the province. In the Task Force's view, dual models of municipal and/or Regional Health Authority responsibility are most appropriate for Alberta. (4) The Task Force recommends the following approach to governance of ground ambulance services: ° 17 Regional Ambulance Service Committees should be established. Each Committee should be composed of representatives of municipalities and Regional Health Authorities, with a chairperson elected from among Committee members. These committees should form along Regional Health Authority boundaries. Members of the Committee should be jointly appointed by municipalities and Regional Health Authorities respectively. Formation of the Committees should be guided by recent Provincial Government decisions concerning the election and appointment of Regional Health Authority members. P ° The role and responsibilities for Regional Ambulance Service Committees may vary from the provision of advice and coordination, to direct responsibility for governance and delivery of ground ambulance services. ° For purposes of providing ground ambulance services, municipalities would be divided into two categories - Group A and Group B. Group A municipalities would be those which continue to be responsible for operating ground ambulance services. In the case of Group A municipalities, the Regional Ambulance Service Committee for the region would operate primarily to provide advice and coordination between municipalities and Regional Health Authorities, coordinating services with other regions. Draft For Discussion 12 April 12, 1996 y\\ The respective Regional Ambulance Service Committee would be responsible for ground ambulance services in the instance of Group B municipalities. • By agreement between the two parties, and with the consent of the Minister of Health, the duties and responsibilities of any Regional Ambulance Service Committee may be assumed by a Regional Health Authority. ° Municipalities belonging to the Group A category would be required to meet the following requirements: - provide an Advanced Life Support level of service - perform 1200 or more ground ambulance calls per year. On the advice of the Ambulance Advisory and Appeal Board, the Minister could consider ambulance services performing 800 or more calls per year. p - meet or exceed the standards, performance criteria and outcome measurements for all services approved by the Minister, on the advice of the Ambulance Advisory and Appeal Board. (This Board was appointed by the Minister of Health in June 1995 under the Ambulance Services Act.) Stakeholder input will be important in developing performance measures. - accept the revised funding approach which would involve phased in baseline funding for a Basic Life Support level of service. The Task Force acknowledges that this new approach will not establish a uniform governance model for the province. Yet this approach does provide for the wide variation in the level of service and expertise now in place in the province. The establishment of Regional Ambulance Service Committees should address the need for coordination between municipalities and Regional Health Authorities, and should ensure a more effective partnership in meeting the needs of patients across the province. {§i Draft For Discussion 13 April 12, 1996 Ai Role and responsibilities of Regional Ambulance Service Committees (5) The role and responsibilities of Regional Ambulance Service Committees will vary in different regions of the province. However, the Task Force believes the responsibilities of the Regional Ambulance Service Committees may include: ° assessing unique service needs for the region ° determining volume, complexity and routes of emergency cases within the region ° establishing linkages with fire, police and disaster services 'fil ° reviewing current hospital practices for emergency patients ° establishing mutual agreements within and outside the region ° appointing a Regional Medical Director responsible for providing medical p direction and control ° considering delivery options such as contracting out ambulance services j ° considering the deployment of ambulance attendants in "non-traditional" (non-emergency services) roles, as well as the use of other health m practitioners to assume pre-hospital and inter-hospital care functions ° collaborating with stakeholders to ensure economies of scale, such as p training, staffing, and bulk purchasing of medical equipment and supplies ° undertaking prevention and promotion efforts to reduce the reliance on r emergency health services (for example, programs to deal with causes of cardio-vascular disease, premature births, injuries and trauma) r° evaluating the degree of teamwork among stakeholders in the emergency health services f ° monitoring outcome measures with respect to patient care, accountability and cost effectiveness. «-' Draft For Discussion 14 April 12, 1996 v^o Each Regional Ambulance Services Committee should be required to consult appropriately with people in the region they serve and develop a business plan including the following: 'IPI ° an outline of the ground ambulance program for the regionincluding levels of service, location of ambulance bases and how the service will be delivered ° an overview of how the ground ambulance program will be administered in the region. These plans should be submitted to the Minister of Health for review and approval. Group A municipalities would not be obligated to submit their plans for Ministerial review. The Task Force also believes that Regional Ambulance Service Committees have an important role to play in public education. As the role of certain hospitals changes, and emergency departments in some smaller hospitals are closed, there is a need for people to understand what they can expect in emergency cases. (6) A public education plan should be developed provincially, in cooperation with municipalities, Regional Health Authorities, ambulance operators and others. This plan should be funded by the Provincial Government, in consultation with stakeholders. At the local and regional level, some of the questions Regional Ambulance Service Committees could address in their public education programs are: ° when is it appropriate to call an ambulance? p ° what mechanism is there for health care providers and the public to provide input to the Regional Ambulance Service Committee on emergency health service issues? ip ~- ° to which hospital are patients sent when they are transported by ground ambulance? how will they return? * ° what are the responsibilities of consumers of ambulance services? | ° who pays for ambulance trips? P Draft For Discussion 15 April 12, 1996 'PI Addressing levels of service Across the province, there are disparities in the level of service provided. Services are categorized by the training of staff, equipment and the level of medical care. There are three categories: ° Emergency Medical Responder involves a minimum of two Emergency Medical Responder ambulance attendants for each ambulance ° Basic Life Support involves one Emergency Medical Technician - Ambulance and one Emergency Medical Responder for each ambulance ° Advanced Life Support involves one Emergency Medical Technologist - Paramedic and Emergency Medical Technician - Ambulance for each ambulance. lift Most large urban municipalities (and some smaller municipalities) provide an L Advanced Life Support level of care to their citizens. Sparsely populated areas in rthe province strive hard to provide Emergency Medical Responder or Basic life Support. rWith long response and transport times, rural patients are often in need of higher levels of care than may be currently provided. The provincial Air Ambulance Program complements ground ambulance operators and rescue services, p particularly in remote areas. Almost all residents of the province can access the I provincial air ambulance program's Advanced life Support services within 60 to 90 minutes. IP I (7) The Task Force recommends that: p ° All citizens within a region should have access, within a reasonable time period, to either a Basic Life Support or Advanced Life Support level of ground ambulance service. Significant geographical variations across the p province make determination of a uniform "reasonable time periodn t difficult P ° The Emergency Medical Responder level of "medical rescue outreach" service should be confined to remote areas of the province with low call volumes, generally less than 100 calls per year. These services should r continue to be licensed by the Registrar, Ambulance Services Act on the advice of the Ambulance Advisory and Appeal Board. They should be licensed in conjunction with a companion Basic Life Support or Advanced P Life Support service for a definite time frame, and with a written plan for P Draft For Discussion 16 April 12, 1996 upgrading to Basic Life Support The protocols for the medical rescue outreach service should include access to the provincial air ambulance program, including rescue aircraft where necessary. Regional Ambulance Service Committees should be expected to provide periodic progress reports to the Ambulance Advisory and Appeal Board. Some communities may want to upgrade from the Basic Life Support level to an Advanced Life Support level of ambulance service or continue to provide the higher level of ambulance service. In these instances, municipalities should be have the option to "top up" funds provided by the province to enable a higher level of service to be provided. €.. Use of local and regional hospitals To ensure the best level of care, it is important that patients be transported to hospitals which can address their medical needs. (8) The Task Force believes that protocols should be in place to determine where patients are transported. The key criteria should be the patient's medical needs and the capabilities of local and regional hospitals. Dispatch systems would then be expected to deploy ambulances consistent with the protocols. These protocols should also address the appropriateness of each health care facility for addressing specific emergency medical conditions. Hospitals should only be bypassed in accordance with regional medical protocols. These protocols should be developed by jointly by the Regional Ambulances Services Committees and Regional Health Authorities. Providing appropriate medical involvement High quality dispatching and patient care practices require a responsible and accountable physician or group of physicians to provide overall medical direction. The 110 ambulance agencies/companies in the province have numerous arrangements for the provision of medical direction to their attendants. The level of involvement of medical directors varies considerably, as does their influence on the provision of pre-hospital and inter-facility care. p Draft For Discussion 17 April 12, 1996 ^ (9) The Task Force recommends that, in the longer term, each Regional Ambulance Service Committee should appoint a Regional Medical Director. In the case of Group A municipalities, there should be liaison and cooperation with the Medical Directors of the municipality's ambulance service. Sharing of 151 services may be the most appropriate arrangement. In Group B municipalities, responsibilities for the Regional Medical Director should include: ° providing clinical advice on the appropriate levels of pre-hospital and pt inter-facility care ° preparing and recommending intra- and inter-regional medical protocols and procedures ° assuming delegated authority under the Health Disciplines Act for the three classifications of ambulance attendants in the region ° providing medical direction for the dispatch systems. This would include approval of pre-arrival instructions given to the public. ° providing clinical advice regarding: - location and level of service of ambulance bases - required advanced attendant skills - ambulance staff and equipment - establishment of ambulance dispatch systems, including ensuring that the closest and most appropriate ambulance available is dispatched on each call - interaction and working relationships of ambulance attendants with other health care providers - liaison with other Regional Medical Directors and the Provincial Director for the Emergency Health Services Branch of Alberta Health. (10) In the interim, while new approaches to governance are being phased in, the Task Force recommends that each Regional Ambulance Service Committee should appoint a "Coordinating Regional Medical Director", whose role would be to provide advice on clinical matters related to the establishment of the emergency health services network, including: ° consistent, high quality protocols for pre-hospital and inter-hospital care ° mutual aid agreements within and outside the region Draft For Discussion 18 April 12, 1996 ° liaison and coordination with the provincial air ambulance program ° medical dispatch systems within the region 0 coordination and liaison with each ambulance operator's Medical Director l^ Development of outcome measures A continuous review of outcomes measures is essential to maintain quality patient 1 care, improve accountability and make the best use of available resources. (11) The Task Force expects that Regional Ambulance Services Committees review and monitor outcome measures on an ongoing basis. Regular reports on n outcome measures should be made available to the public All ambulance operators should be expected to follow the objectives, measures of rcost effectiveness, protocols, performance criteria and outcome measures endorsed by the Ambulance Advisory and Appeal Board. These performance measures should be developed following a stakeholder consultation process. I As minimum requirements, ambulance operators should maintain the following performance information: IP f ° Patient Care Report documentation compliance for the following categories: | Patient Diagnosis Codes Treatment Codes 'P Medical/Allergies History Patient Assessment P Patient Treatment i ° Annual call volume 1 ° Categories of calls handled by response level: | Lights and Sirens ^ Non-Lights and Sirens r Transfers Standbys P Draft For Discussion 19 April 12, 1996 w^ f: <$ Public Relations Events ° Response time documentation ° Number of units on duty ° Monitoring of compliance with the Medical Director's on-line dispatch and field protocols. Communication systems throughout the province Each ground ambulance should have an effective communication system to ensure timely dispatching of ground ambulances within and outside the region. (12) The Task Force recommends that Alberta Health should provide sufficient funds to ensure that each ground ambulance is equipped with a VHF radio t capable of communicating on the provincial ambulance frequency. m On a more long term basis, Alberta Health should work with Regional Ambulance Services Committees to establish and fund an effective and integrated radio network using newer technologies such as satellite cellular telephones. Ambulance dispatching for pre-hospital and inter-hospital trips IP The dispatch function is recognized as a very important element of pre-hospital and inter-facility care. As noted previously, the 110 ambulance operators have f many forms of ownership and operational models. Their response areas are varied, as are their capabilities of responding to differing patient concerns. Boundaries between response areas served by ambulance operators at times may | hinder effective pre-hospital and inter-facility care. rThe role and importance of dispatch systems have increased significantly in recent years as a result of public, health care facility, physician and municipal initiatives. Past practice was often to merely provide an individual to answer the telephone, p obtain the patient's address, and deploy an ambulance vehicle. In some parts of !' the province, this is still the case. rTherole of the dispatch centre is to operate as part of a seamless system of health care - to "send the right vehicles and staff, the right way, at the right time, to the right facility." The dispatch process should provide for a standardized, •Pi protocol system of caller questioning, pre-arrival determinants, and an appropriate I response. This is accomplished more effectively through regional coordination of P Draft For Discussion 20 ! April 12, 1996 ip & the dispatch function. These systems allow for "economies of scale" not present in dispatch systems that conform to individual operators' boundaries. "911" service will shortly be available to rural areas at rninimal cost. While this is a clear benefit in those communities, it is important for people to understand what a "911" system involves. Providing "911" services without strong linkages with ambulance, police, fire, and other emergency dispatch services is inappropriate, and may detract from effective patient care. "911" by itself is merely an answering service, with no medical direction or control. "911" service must be delivered in concert with effective dispatch systems, under medical direction and control. Otherwise, it adds little to pre-hospital care. 8 (13) The Task Force recommends that the following should be required for each dispatch system: ° all dispatchers should be certified to at least the Emergency Medical Responder level with Emergency Medical Dispatch training ° the dispatch centre and Emergency Medical Dispatchers should operate under the authority of a Medical Director . Dispatching should be considered a "delegated medical act" conducted by practitioners registered under the Health Disciplines Act ° personnel should be capable of determining the medical nature and urgency of the call, coordinating the appropriate response resources, and providing on-line monitoring [M ° pre-arrival instructions should be utilized. They have repeatedly been shown to improve patient outcomes, leave bystanders with the feeling that i they have done all that can be done, and keep those in a position to assist busy until the ambulance's arrival. Dispatch systems employing pre- arrival instructions are also less susceptible to litigation. I ° clear and trouble-free communications systems should exist between the dispatch centre and the ground ambulances, and between the ground f ambulances and the receiving hospital Draft For Discussion 21 April 12, 1996 <& ° all telephone calls and radio transmissions should be tape recorded and retained for a period of time. This is consistent with prevailing industry standards endorsed by the Ambulance Advisory and Appeal Board. ° ideally, the dispatch centre should be electronically connected to fire, rescue and police dispatch centres, or operated as part of an integrated Jj^ dispatch centre ° advance notice should be provided to the receiving hospital • ambulance attendants should be able to "patch" to physicians providing on line medical control and direction, and to physicians at sending or receiving hospitals en route 9 ambulances should be sent in accordance with the medical priority of the patient's medical condition (that is, not all calls require "lights and sirens") IP ° a program should be in place to ensure that procedures are followed and improvements are made continuously CT ° clear protocols should exist for contacting the north or south air ambulance dispatch centre ° there should be the ability to provide support to other local and regional emergency services in a disaster, upon request Over time, it is anticipated that consolidation of dispatch systems will occur. This will most likely be the case in areas with lower call volumes. These areas should consider contracting with Group A municipalities for ground ambulance dispatch services. Draft For Discussion 22 April 12, 1996 Alternate patient transport mechanisms The Task Force recognizes that patients do not always need to be transported using ambulances. Often it is impractical or not cost-effective to move all inter- Wi facility patients by ambulance. Depending on the medical condition of the patient, alternative transport mechanisms can be used. Subject to medical control and direction, patients should be transported by the least expensive method that best P suits their medical needs, whether by ambulance, specialtytransport vehicle or other means. (14) The Task Force recommends that dispatch systems operate within a set of protocols covering inter-facility transfer of patients using various types of vehicles. The key criterion for determining the type of transport provided should be the patient's medical condition. The dispatch system should have the capability and authority to work within the protocols approved by the Regional Ambulance Services Committee and the Provincial Government to transport patients to necessary levels of care. This would include protocols set by the Medical Director(s), Regional Health Authority and the Ambulance Advisory and Appeal Board for transferring medically stable patients between health care facilities. These transports need not always occur by ground ambulance. The dispatch system also must be empowered to contact each ambulance operator to return patients to their home communities in empty ground ambulances. Where an ambulance travels outside its jurisdiction, it should be required to follow the instructions and protocols of the dispatch centre in the destination area, with respect to transporting patients back to their home communities. These protocols should be developed by the Provincial Government, taking into account local and regional variations. Draft For Discussion 23 April 12, 1996 / V CONCLUDING COMMENTS AND NEXT STEPS The recommendations of the Task Force are designed to provide a framework for an integrated and improved system of ground ambulance services. The recommendations respond to the issues identified, respect current approaches that have served Alberta well in the past, and provide a mechanism for streamlining funding arrangements and providing better coordination with municipalities, Regional Health Authorities and a restructured health system. Members of the Task Force would like to thank the Minister of Health for the opportunity to review important issues related to ground ambulance services, and to provide our advice on improving this vitally important component of Alberta's p health system. We anticipate that this report will be the subject of further discussions with ~i municipalities, Regional Health Authorities, ambulance operators and Members of the Legislative Assembly prior to decisions on implementation. p Your comments are essential, particularly as they relate to funding and [ governance.

"We are asking communities to come forward with imaginative, innovative plans on how to do that. We will help them put those plans into operation. Then, what we learn from these demonstration projects will be put at the service of all communities." Access to risk capital is critical for the growth of small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). Although $3 billion in risk capital is available in Canada from existing equity capital pools, SMEs have difficulty gaining access to it. Access is particularly difficult for firms seeking less than $750,000 in equity capital, and for firms outside financial centres. Up to 20 demonstration projects will be chosen, 10 this year and 10 next. If* Industry Canada will make a non-repayable contribution of two-thirds of the funding to establish and operate them, to a maximum of $600,000 for each project over five years. Regional screening panels will select the most imaginative and innovative proposals and request their detailed business plans. Each region's choices will-then-be submitted to the national selection board, which will chose 20 proposals and recommend to the Minister of Industry that they be funded as demonstration projects. The chair and vice-chair of each regional screening panel will be members of the national selection board. Canadian communities can also get: • An Investment Facilitation Skills Development Component, being developed by Industry Canada with private and public sector investment professionals If and associations, which will provide strategic information on effective investment facilitation strategies and mechanisms. • An Investment Facilitation Tool Kit which will help communities design and implement effective investment facilitation services in their communities to link local growth firms and sources of equity capital. • An Information Exchange and Communications program which will allow communities to exchange and share information on proven investment facilitation strategies. 1^1 Government Gouvernement • ^ • 0f Canada du Canada 6 pi \° -2- The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, the Federal Office for Regional Development-Quebec and Western Economic Diversification will distribute information about the national call for demonstration projects in their regions and advise interested community groups. Information will also be available from branches of the Business Development Bank of Canada, regional offices of Industry Canada, and Canada Business Services Centres. n "The Canada Community Investment Plan is a part of the government's program to improve access to capital for growth firms. CCIP is an opportunity for communities to help their businesses to grow so that they can provide jobs and contribute in turn to the economic growth of the community," said Mr. Manley. Funding for this initiative is built into the existing fiscal framework. This initiative is an example of how this government is prioritizing its spending so that it can better serve Canadians by making efficient use of their tax dollars. 30 For more information, please contact: Bill Mitliken Office of the Minister of Industry (613)995-9001 Peter Sagar Entrepreneurship and Small Business Office (613) 954-5489 ^H Release 7383-e mm fl BACKGROUNDER: THE NATIONAL CALL FOR DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS The Canada Community Investment Plan focuses on encouraging community-based initiatives to.improve access to existing sources of risk capital. The Plan helps communities with growth firms and restricted access to investment services build bridges to local, regional and national sources of risk capital. The national call for demonstration projects will choose projects that showcase effective strategies for investment facilitation. There will be 20 demonstration projects over two years. Projects will be chosen from across Canada. At least one win come from the North, and one from among Aboriginal communities. Regional screening panels will select the most imaginative and innovative proposals from the regions, the North, and the Aboriginal communities. Each regional screening panel will have five members. Two members of each regional screening panel will serve as chair and vice-chair of the panel. They will also sit on the national selection board. The panelists will review project applications and assess them against the program criteria. The regional screening panels will submit their choices to the national selection board. The national board will select winning demonstration projects, again measuring the project applications against program criteria. Making the Choices Communities with((demonstrable'^/(growth opportunitiesJ\ but lacking a full range of investment services will be given preference bv the Canada Community Investment Plan. Communities can be single municipalities or single economic areas that include closely- linked municipalities. The community should be large enough to have several different economic sectors and have a wide range of attractive investment opportunities. The community must have an active economic development office or commission. Interested communities will be asked to submit a five page outline of their proposals to the regional srrenninn panpl All proposals postmarked on or before May 15, 1996, will be considered. A community-based investment development group or groups must endorse the proposal. The regional screening panel will examine the submissions and select the 6 most promising ones and the best Aboriginal community proposal from the region as finalists. The national selection board will ask for detailed business plans from each of the finalists selected by the regional screening panels. The national selection board will rank the business plans, and submit its recommendations to the Minister of Industry. \0'A What the Panels and the Board are Looking For Screening panels will measure proposed demonstration projects against the following five criteria: pjh • Identification of engines of local economic growth • The lack of a necessary financial services infrastructure • The quality of investment facilitation services to be employed • The quality and expertise of demonstration project management • The cost efficiency of the demonstration project Selected finalists will be asked to submit detailed business plans to the national sejectiojiiiQard, which will rank them aoainst the same criteria, taking into consideration the following points: • broadly-based community endorsement, including support of the local business community pij • the ability of existing community-based economic development groups, that include the participation of local private and public sector leadership, to design and implement an active, community-based investment facilitation service to improve access to capital for local firms • a focus on addressing the capital and management skill needs of growth-oriented firms seeking less than $750,000 • a range of growth-oriented small business and restricted access to private sector fl capital • a detailed analysis of the growth potential of local industrial sectors and strategies to develop their growth potential • detailed plans showing how the community group plans to deliver investment services • the degree that key segments of the community, such as business leaders, economic development and business professionals, are actively involved in developing and putting in place strategies to identify and market local investment opportunities to local, regional and national sources of capital • budgeting for several years showing that the community can fund the demonstration project and continue financial support when the demonstration project ends. The ideal project will provide local access to public and private management support services and local, regional and national sources of risk capital. pi 0ft \ The services will include pre-investment assistance to identify and assess the needs of growing firms: structuring investment opportunities, and providing matching services. Post-investment services will include mentoring on a broad range of management issues, business planning, market development, financial consulting, and technology investment. Supporting the Demonstration Projects The federal government will make a non-repayable contribution of two-thirds of the funding needed to establish and operate the investment development services, to a maximum ot 9500,000 for each project, over five years. The contribution will help communities with start-up and administration costs. It will also help with the cost of providing investment facilitation services, which include: • investment opportunity identification • mentoring of entrepreneurs • development of a database of local, regional, and national sources of risk capital • development of communication channels with local, regional, and national sources of capital • provision of enhanced access to federal, provincial, and regional programs and services for local businesses. Demonstration projects will provide the empirical evidence for the development of best practices in investment facilitation for SMEs. These best practices will be communicated to all participating communities in the form of the investment facilitation skill development program and toolkit. The CCIP is part of the government's overall program to improve access for growth firms, undertaken in 1995: • The Small Business Loans Act was continued on a cost recovery basis, providing for up to $12 billion in business improvement loans; •• The Industry Committee and the government have urged the banks to improve lending to small business - banks have responded with the creation of Codes of Conduct, Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms, and bank and industry ombudsmen; • The Federal Development Bank was renamed the Business Development Bank of Canada and given a new mandate to serve as a complementary lender to micro- businesses, knowledge-based firms, exporters and growth-oriented businesses; • Realignment of regional economic development agencies to serve the needs of the small and medium-sized business community; \°(\ 4- Implementation of new small business focus for exporters (e.g., the Foreign Affairs and International Trade's Program for Export Market Development) and new Export Development Corporation facilities to ease access to export financing for small businesses.

As you can see from the Report Card, we've achieved a lot in relation to the key strategies outlined in Seizing Opportunity. However, we face some important challenges as we consider what still needs to be done: • Other provinces and states compete for new business and investment by offering financial incentives. • Keeping the budget balanced is essential, and that means no big spending plans to stimulate the economy. • Technology is changing the marketplace and Alberta needs to keep pace. • Export and trade patterns are changing with new markets emerging in different parts of the world. • Continued growth of Alberta's small business sector is essential since it creates the majority of new jobs in the province. • Jobs and employment are changing. There's lesssecurity and more part-time and contract work. • Youth unemployment is a growing problem. Many young people can't find jobs that allow them to use their skills and education. • Continued efforts are needed to ensure that all communities can participate in the economic mainstream; for instance, "When we create wealth instead working relationships, partnerships, and joint ventures must be ofmerely redistributing it we create opportunity where it did developed between industry and First Nations. notexist before.

Expanding Exports Exports of goods and services have been a driving force ofthe Alberta economy over the last five years - increasing more than 64 percent from $17.7 billion in 1991 to an estimated $29 billion in 1995. The question is, "How do we keep our exports growing?" Many ofthe factors that affect the market for Alberta products are beyond our control - factors like the value of the dollar, tariffs imposed by some countries, international prices and trade agreements. i5> & PROSPERITY ^^ ALBERTANS -IT'S YOUR TURN However, there is still a lot we can influence. The province has worked with the private sector to promote areas where we have distinctive capabilities, whether that's particular industries, clusters W) of businesses or specialized expertise. And we've stepped up efforts to collect and provide the private sector with up to date information on market trends and potential opportunities. Given that interprovincial and international agreements also have a direct impact, the province is taking a strong role in ensuring that we have a provincial voice in trade negotiations. With changing trade patterns, the province also has key roles to play in ensuring high quality transportation routes and in working with other governments to remove barriers to cost effective transportation.

"The Native Gaming Policy will maintain the integrity ofcharitable gaming inthis province," said Dr. Stephen C. West, Minister Responsible for the Alberta Gaming and P Liquor Commission. "At the same time, it establishes and maintains an equal playing field, allowing First Nations inAlberta to participate inand benefit from charitable gaming activities:79 "Indeveloping the Native Gaming Policy, we researched and watched with interest what has been happening inother jurisdictions throughout Canada," said Judy Gordon, MLA (Lacombe-Stettler) and Chair ofthe MLA Committee on Native Gaming. "The Committee felt that the extensive review andinput received from Albertans couldnot p be ignored. This policy reflects the direction endorsed by Albertans through the Lotteries Review consultation process, maintains a level playing field, and responds to employment and economic concerns expressed by the FirstNations." Highlights ofthe Native Gaming Report recommendations include: • To ensure consistency of all gaming operations, regulation and enforcement should remain the responsibility ofthe province. • All native gaming initiatives should be on an "equal playing field" and subject to the same rules, regulations, and legislation ofother charitable gaming initiatives. ^ • All casinos in Alberta, including First Nations casinos, must be government m regulated and retain their non-profit, charitable status. • First Nations gaming casino(s) will continue to be allowed in Alberta, under the p current charitable gaming model. Amaximum ofthree, two-day casino licences would be available per week, at a First Nations casino facility. IS\ p In order to assure the viability ofcasinos as a source ofrevenue for non-profit organizations, a maximum of four First Nations casinos would be licensed on reserves, or contiguous to the reserve. Up to a maximum of 50 video lottery terminals/casino gaming terminals will be I' allocated to a First Nations casino, based on geographic location, numberof table games, and hours ofoperation. • All First Nations in the Province ofAlberta should realize some benefit from the revenues. It is recommended that 10% be directed to a First Nations trust fund to be pooled and sharedby all First Nations in Alberta. • Any First Nations Gaming Casino should have community support and address the impact on adjacent and surrounding communities. • It has been recommended that all communities receive a portion oflottery funds and a funding formula is now being developed for implementation in the 1997/98 fiscal year. This funding formula would also be applied to the First Nations. In addition, lottery funds should continue to be made available to First Nations through programs and initiatives such as the Community Facilities Enhancement Program (CFEP m). • Funding for aboriginal problem gambling programs and initiatives should continue to be provided to approved community agencies and individuals through AADAC. Problem gambling will continue to be a first priority for government, providing a solidresearch base and effective treatment programs for those who need them. ^1 In March 1995, a five member MLA Committee was asked to look at the issue of L native gaming and make a recommendation to Government on the future direction.

As this issue is of interest to many municipalities, the AAMD&C has prepared a brief summary of the Discussion Paper. A copy of this summary is attached for your consideration.

Should you require a copy ofthe complete Discussion Paper, the AAMD&C can provide this upon request.

Yours truly, pj^/Lairy Goodhope ' Executive Director LG/gs • Attachment I * \<\ PHAQEI CONSULTATION ON RADIO LICENSEFEES (Summary Prepared bythe AAMD&C) (33} In response to continued growth and change inthe telecommunications sector, Industry Canada has undertaken a comprehensive review ofthe radio licensing fee structure. CURRENT SITUATION Under the current system, radio license fees are based strictly on the radio apparatus used by each licensee. However, Industry Canada has found this system to be under increasing stress in terms of trying to deal with applications for new and innovative technologies. ifp PROPOSED NEWMODEL In seeking to develop a new fee structure, thefollowing guidingprinciples have been adopted: • thefee structure shouldbesimple and equitable; • themore ofthespectrum resource used, thehigher thefee shouldbe; • where the spectrum resource isrelatively scarce, the fee should behigher; • the fee structure should be flexible • licensing decisions should bebased on technical and operational factors, and not on the basis of fee considerations; • anysignificant changes to the fees paidbya specific useror group should be announced as soon as possible, but implemented over a reasonable time r period. SATURATIONMEASUREMENT S) Under the new model, all of Canada will be broken down into a series of hexagonal cells, 25 square kilometres in area. Each ofthese cells will be measured for "spectrum saturation", providing an indication of how much of the spectrum resource is being currently utilized, versus the total spectrum resource available within that area. Within each cell, a separate Saturation Index Value will be assigned for each band within the spectrum. Based on these index values, rates will then be assigned to each cell in the grid for each spectrum band. In general terms, the higher the level of saturation, the higher the rate will be. Rateswill be in the form of $/Khz. SPECTRUM CONSUMPTION - INDIVIDUAL LICENSEES For individual licensees, radio license fees will reflect both the level of saturation in their operating area, and their own level of "spectrum consumption". Spectrum consumption will bemeasured by three key factors: 1. bandwidth —measured in Hertz 2. coverage - the area over which spectrum is reduced or denied to other users (the number ofgrid cells in which the user's system will operate) 3. exclusivity - the degree to which the user requires exclusive use ofthe band OVERALL IMPACT p& Industry Canada initially proposes that the new fee model should generate the same level of revenue as the current model ($133.5 million overall). A computer model will be used to determine the rates necessary for each level of spectrum consumption, in order to generate the $133.5 million. In essence, current license fee costs will be "redistributed" amongst current licensees, to better reflect their level of spectrum consumption. In essence, the proposed model would provide for higher fees to be charged to users in more densely populated areas (as these areas would have higher spectrum saturation levels), and for licensees using the more "popular" bandwidths. Users in more remote areas would normally face lower fees, based on the absence of any "saturation" concerns. St It is important to note that this Discussion Paper represents only the first stage of Industry Canada's consultation on this matter. Following discussion on the principles laid out in this document, Industry Canada will develop a detailed fee schedule based on those principles which are ultimately adopted. This fee schedule will then be circulated inasecond round ofpublic consultation, to take place inthe fall of1996. The final adoption of any new fee schedule is not expected to be complete until at least April KEY QUESTIONS Some of the key questions which Ihdustiy Canada is seeking to address during the current consultation processareas follows: w> • Arethe guidingprinciples appropriate? • Is it acceptable to measure spectrum consumption based on bandwidth, coverage,and exclusivity? • Is it appropriate to measure exclusivity on the basis of factors such as operational requirements, traffic requirements, performance objectives and technology employed? Are thereother factors which should be included? ^ How should the "coverage" of land mobile and other point-to-area type systems be determined? (The department proposes the assumption that their coverage area isthesame as that oftheir associated receivers). Is it appropriate to use "spectrum saturation" as a major deterrninant of fee levels? Currently, municipalities pay the same fees as any other comparable radio licensee, despite the "public service" nature of many municipal operations. Industry Canada appears to favour the continuation of this practice, based on p) a "market economics" approach; however the Department has specifically asked for comment onwhether some form of fee concession for public sector and/or non-profit licensees isappropriate.

CALL TO ORDER Chairman Richard Marz (MD ofKneehill) called the meeting toorder at3:00pm. r 2. INTRODUCTIONS AllReeves andDeputy Reeves present atthemeeting introduced themselves. 3. ADOPTION OF THE MINUTES Moved by Jean DeChamplain (MD of Wesdock) Secondedby MarvinDahl (Countyof Warner) That the minutesfrom the November 13, 1995 Reeves' Meeting be approved as circulated. CARRIED. 4. BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES There were noissues arising from theminutes that required further attention. 5. NEW BUSINESS A) County of Forty Mile Leonard Mitzel (County of Forty Mile) urged the reeves to strongly support Resolution #4-96 pertaining to the Unconditional Municipal Grant Program when it is debated by general assembly during Spring Convention. He noted that restructuring to 60% levels was accomplished and that anything further would generate significant tax increases. The resolution calls for a cessation of the continued reduction in the Unconditional Municipal Grant Program and assurance that there be no further reductions beyond current levels. •pi 1jS) \# Mr. Mitzel further suggested a moratorium on the business plan of the Department of Municipal Affairs which proposes reduce grants tozero by 1998. B) County of Barrhead George Visser (County of Barrhead) offered that his jurisdiction is in a similar position. He quoted figures toindicate the magnitude of the problem. He noted that while amalgamations make sense administratively in some cases, they are certainly not an answer for the absence of the grants; the joining of two poor municipalities would just make one largerpoorjurisdiction. Ken Albrecht (MD of Yellowhead) question what the AAMD&C had done to date. AAMD&C President Roelof Heinen replied that, while there was good general support for theProvince in their efforts to eliminate the deficit and debt, the concernsof the membership havebeen carriedforward and madeclearto the Wt Provincial Government. George Visser (County of Barrhead) noted that the bottom line from Honourable Tom Thurber, Minister of Municipal Affairs, is that grants will be eliminated and Honourable Steve West, Minister of Transportation & Utilities, has reiteratedthe message to reduceservices. A brief discussion on amalgamations followed. Some of the comments I articulated include: • The push to amalgamate - the school amalgamations have not gone as smoothly as portrayed. • The school experiencehas shown it to be a mistake. • Amalgamation will work insome cases, but not for everyone. Vern Hartwell (Strathcona County) stated that his jurisdiction just developed in the way that it did, however amalgamation is happening everywhere (eg. Halifax, Dartmouth etc.) C) County of Warner Marvin Dahl (County of Warner) questioned the involvement of the AAMD&C in Canadian Wheat Board discussions. It was noted by AAMD&C President Roelof Heinen that ourAssociation has historically been involved in agricultural issues. AAMD&C Director Bob Anderson added that the lack of a strong Alberta agricultural voice at this time and the heavy involvement of our sister organizations were also a factor. & D) MD of Pincher Creek Bob Mitchell (MD of Pincher Creek) raised a concern about the Provincial review of M&E and Linear Assessment. He indicated that he perceived a lack of awareness that linear assessment was involved in the review and suggested that loss of this assessment could have a greater impact than theloss of M&E. AAMD&C Executive Director Larry Goodhope stated that all regulated assessment is up for review. The AAMD&C is represented on the Industrial SteeringCommittee by Directors Anderson and Hinton. Various reeves commented on the potential for this review to negatively impact all jurisdictions. Ageneral discussion ensued regarding the most effective way to get the message about these adverse effects across to Cabinet. Comments included: • "Weare going to haveto getserious..." • "Somedecrees canbefought against and won..." • 'Timeto play hardball with Cabinet Ministers..." • "Nice guys long enough - hard nosed bargaining is now required..." AAMD&C President Roelof Heinen urged those present to use the Ministerial Forum to reinforce the concerns that have been expressed on these issues. WalterBuck(MDof Sturgeon) noted thatthis Government needs rural voters. 6. ADJOURNMENT Moved by Claude Gould (MD of Woodlands) That the meeting adjourn at4:15pm. CARRIED.

Bill 34 proposes a long list of amendments to the current Municipal Government Act. Most of these amendments are of a "housekeeping" nature, addressing various administrative difficulties which have been identified as municipalities have begun to work with the new MGA. However, there are a number of substantive amendments of specific interest to municipalities. Therefore, our office has prepared a brief summary highlighting the more substantive elements of Bill 34. Ihave attached a copy of this summary document for your information. Yours truly, 'tyeZ^/ Goodhope Executive Director LG/gs Attachment M " % \* SUMMARY OFBILL 34 I THEMUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTAMENDMENT ACT | (Summary Prepared by the AAMD&C) (_ Bill 34, the Municipal Government Amendment Act, was introduced on Thursday, April 18, by Lac La Biche-St Paul MLA Paul Langevin. I Most of the amendments proposed in this Bill are of an administrative or "housekeeping" nature, addressing various problems which municipalities have m experienced in the first 16 months under the new MGA. However, there are also a number of substantive amendments of interest to p municipalities. Following is a brieflistingof theseamendments: t • Annexations —section 126 has been amended to broaden the authority of the p provincial Cabinet to order annexations without a Municipal Government Board hearing. The previous limitations, stating thatsuchannexations must be of a minor nature and that theremust be no dispute aboutthe annexation, have been removed. fpi | • Lease Agreements - sections 241, and 257-259 have been amended so that municipalities will not be required to advertise capital lease agreements or r borrowings for which the term does not exceed 5 years (this is extended from the current 3 year limit). r» Assessment of Surface Oil and Gas Lease Sites - section 284 has been amended to provide thatthese sites willbeassessable and taxable to thelease site operator, rather than the landowner. For the 1996 tax year, these sites are categorized as linear p property, and are thus being assessed through Alberta Municipal Affairs. • Machinery andEquipment Tax- section 297 has been amended to create a separate r assessment class for machinery and equipment, to allow the previously announced 20% phase-out of the education portion of M&E. p • Weigh Scales —section 298 has been amended to provide an exemption from assessment for weigh scales, inspection stations, and "other improvements necessary to maintain" roads (but not including street lights). (Note that the AAMD&Chad ,p opposed this change, consistent with aresolution passed by delegates atthe 1995 Fall Convention.) p • Rural Gas Co-op Pipelines —under amendments to section 298, rural gas co-op pipelines whichserve urban municipalities orhamlets with a population greater than 500, or industrial consumers consuming more than 10,000 gj annually, will now be p subject to assessment and taxation. (Note that the AAMD&C has raised concerns I regarding this amendment, however we have been advised that the Federation of Gas Co-ops and AlbertaMunicipal Affairs have agreed on this new formula.) \6°\ I- f * Mobile Homes - under amendments to section 304, municipal bylaws making the L owners of mobile home parks responsible for property taxes charged to park tenants will not come into effect until the beginning of the year commencing at least 12 m months after passage of the bylaw. As well, the owner of the mobile unit is to be I considered as the assessed person for the purpose of making acomplaint regarding the assessment (Note that the AAMD&C has participated on ajoint conunittee on p mobile home taxation whose recommendations form the basis for these changes.) • Contaminated Sites - amendments have been made to several sections of the MGA f (s. 410, 427, 434) as well as consequential amendments to the Environmental f Protection and Enhancement Act (s. 1,96,208), to provide further liability protection to municipalities with respect to contaminated sites which might be the subject of tax m recovery proceedings. As a result of these amendments, munidpalities will be |! protected against any legal proceedings related to contaminated sites subject to tax recovery proceedings, unless the municipality has added to or aggravated the m adverse effect due to the contamination. Further, remedial costs relating to a I contaminated site are inserted as having first claim on the proceeds of the sale of the property. (Note that the AAMD&C has worked with Alberta Municipal Affairs, p Alberta Environmental Protection, and Brownlee Fryett for a number of years to | reduce the liability exposure for municipalities relating to contaminated sites.) r» Tax Recovery - section 418 is amended to allow municipalities to enter into agreements, ofup to 3years inlength, with property owners for the repayment oftax arrears in order to suspend the public auction process. As well, section 427 la m amended to allow the previous owner to claim any surplus funds resulting from the I sale ofthe property chrectiy from the municipality. Finally, section 428 isamended to specify that the municipality's fiduciary responsibility with respect to any surplus p funds ends after 15 years following thedate of public auction. • Liability Protection re: Sidewalks - section 531 is amended to provide that P municipalities are liable only for gross negligence with respect to accidents arising I due to snow, ice or slush on sidewalks (this protection was previously limited to ' roads"). | • Ministerial Power to Settle Disputes - section 570 is amended to provide the Minister with explicit authority to impose a settlement in cases of intermunicipal m dispute (previously the Minister could only order investigations and appoint II mediators). Fees re: Planning Activities - section 630 is amended to clearly state that municipalities may charge fees for matters falling under Part 17 of the MGA r (Planning and Development). Subdivision Appeals —section 678 is amended to clarify that, where a government department agrees inwriting to waive adistance requirement re: ahighway, body of water, etc., any appeal regarding the subdivision will lie to the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board and notthe Municipal Government Board.

Some Pembina Oil Producing Companies are in the process of studyto*; a new approach to operating in the Pembina Field. The thrust behind this project is to Sve economic v^biHty and extend the production life of this maturing field. P^Perry ta^es are one of the fixed costs industry has little control over; any increased levS poposed by the M.D. of Brazeau will have anegative impact on the economic viability of this project as well as impacting the total economic life of the area.
