PUBLIC INPUT SESSION Public Input Session Reeve B. Guyon opened the Public Input Session at 11:00 a.m.

Randy Robb, from the Berrymoor area Twp Road 494 west of RR 65, received a call from a company representing the County saying that they wanted to upgrade and pave the road. He questioned why the County did not contact him, either a staff member or a Councillor, rather than a third party. He indicated that the residents do not want the road paved as it is, unsafe, unnecessary and unwanted. His family has farmed since 1909 and it is bad enough to turn off RR 65. This upgrade will only add more stress and worry to his grandchildren. He thought it was taken off the books in 2014.

Earl Lawson, from Twp Road 494 a mile from intersection of 759, commented that he would like to see the improvements and is in favour of the County paving one of the two roads. He expressed his appreciation for what the Council has been doing for the farmers.

Gary Mastre commented that people have been phoning him regarding redistricting agricultural holdings and everyone is confused. He suggested a bigger meeting as most people don’t understand. He suggested better communication, explaining and advertising.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

Executive Summary The Village of Breton has approached Brazeau County about providing service in the event the village receives any appeals to the Assessment Review Board or the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board.

Wiltse that Council direct Administration to bring back a report outlining what the boards would look like, if the County was to enter into an arrangement to establish a regional assessment review board and a regional subdivision and development appeal board with the Village of Breton. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY After further discussion it was determined the Village of Breton was interested in Brazeau County providing the board services if required, rather than the establishment of a regional board. If appeals were heard for the Village of Breton, Brazeau County would recover the cost for board member honorarium at the conclusion of the hearing. Administration has drafted two agreements outlining the services that can be signed with the Village of Breton, pending Council’s approval.

Relevant Policy: Municipal Government Act S. 455, Municipal Government Act S. 627

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION

SUBJECT: Community Bumper Stickers DATE TO COUNCIL: August 20, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: J. Whaley, CAO ENDORSED BY: REVIEWED BY CAO: FILE NO:

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council receive the report on community bumper stickers for information.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

Executive Summary At the July 16, 2019 regular council meeting Council directed Administration to investigate community bumper stickers and partnerships with local rural crime watch and citizens on patrol groups. Administration and Council have continued ongoing support with the RCMP, CPOs and local crime watch groups and recently participated in local RCMP crime reduction sessions. Further consultation with RCMP has led Administration to reconsider a bumper sticker campaign as identification stickers have been known to have the adverse effects. Stickers can advertise to criminals the piece of information they need to learn where a resident lives and their habits. This theory extends to something as small as a small coloured dot for community areas. After consultation with our local RCMP branch Administration has learned that we have had perspective community members (of good moral character) who have driven slowly past houses with “FOR SALE” signs and been shot at because they appear to be casing the premises.

Significant bottlenecks in getting gas to the mainline: • High volatility • Lower average prices . As producers develop liquids for value, gas supply will continue to be high

● Need for LNG greater than ever: . Positive signs for projects but, barriers remain

● Conversion to natural gas fired electricity a positive opportunity

Existing headwinds Lack of export capacity to global markets reducing revenues and preventing growth

1. Market access - Current 4 mb/d oil pipeline network operating near maximum capacity. - Limited takeaway capacity results in heavy discounts on Canadian crudes and challenges investment in new and existing projects - Natural Gas Market over supplied, imports up production flat and faltering - oil curtailment program continues to be in place in Alberta due to the lack of takeaway capacity. 2. Uncompetitive with United State’s new tax policy Cumulative - The US tax system has become much more competitive and as a result, the US Burden economy is going to be much more attractive for investment 3. Regulatory environment: complexity, climate policy, uncertainty - Canada is losing market share to U.S. producers who are growing supply while faced with less stringent environmental regulations - Non‐market based solutions are needed to close gap

BRAZEAU COUNTY UPDATE REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT: ASB Summer Tour 2021 Dates

DATE TO COUNCIL: August 20, 2019

PREPARED BY: Dawnia McCann, Manager of Agricultural Services

UPDATE The ASB Tour Planning Committee has selected to hold the tour July 6th‐9th, INFORMATION: 2021.

This week is selected as it has limited overlap with the Calgary Stampede (July 9th‐18th, 2021) and other local summer agricultural festivals.

Community festivals are usually occurring the last week of June / First week of July to coordinate with Canada Day and beginning of summer or the First week of August for Heritage Days.

This item is presented for Council’s information.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION

SUBJECT: Aquatic Facility Commitment DATE TO COUNCIL: August 20, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Lee Chambers, Director of Community Services ENDORSED BY: REVIEWED BY CAO J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO:

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Council reconfirms their funding commitment in the amount of $5,000,000.00 to the Town of Drayton Valley for the development of an aquatic facility. County Council will provide input to the aquatics facility project through Joint Council gathering and will not be participating in the (IPD) Integrated Project Delivery.

1. TOPIC DEFINED Executive Summary/Key Issue(s)/Concepts Defined:

On March 30, 2012 Brazeau County approved as part of the 2012 budget a commitment of $5,000,000.00 in reserves for an aquatic facility following a Bar Ryder aquatic facility concept design report, which included a committee consisting of Town and County Councilors and administration staff.

The original 2012 Bar Ryder Study of the pool states that the pool would reach its full life expectancy in 4‐9 years (2016‐2021). The report listed a number of deficiencies that should be addressed in a five year period, of which a number of these capital upgrades have been completed. The County has cost shared on approximately $447,644.00 in capital upgrades since 2012, this is over and above the general operating maintenance budget.

A $95,000.00 Net Zero Aquatic facility study was conducted with a (FCM) Federation of Canadian Municipalities grant covering 50% of the costs. This was to provide design guidelines to be including in a new facility for offsetting operating costs. The final report estimates that incorporating the reports energy efficiencies would reduce operating costs by 45% compared to a conventional pool. The concept relies on waste heat recovery from the existing arena plant.

The Town is currently undertaking an (IPD) Integrated Project Design process to validate the price for constructing a new aquatics facility. This team is tasked with designing a facility that meets the

Brazeau County ‐ Request for Council Decision –Aquatics Facility Commitment Page 1 of 2 57 community’s needs. The present cost to construct a new aquatics facility is estimated to be $22,000,000.00. With the County and Town each committing $5,000,000.00 a further $12,000,000.00 is needed before construction can begin.

Brazeau County received a letter on July 2, 2019, requesting $2500 in funding for the SCI Drayton Valley Chapter’s 11th annual 2019 fundraising banquet on September 21st in Drayton Valley.

In past years, Council has purchased a table (8‐10 people @ $100 per ticket = $800 ‐ $1,000 expense) at the annual fundraising banquet and donated silent auction items. Council has also previously provided $1500 in funding for this event.

Some of SCI Drayton Valley Chapter’s accomplishments include: 2016 SCI Chapter of the Year, 100+ members, hosting NASP provincial tournament (1200 youth compete in an archery tournament), donating $150,000 toward the purchase of archery kits and teacher instructor education, and the SCI fishing dock program which gives opportunity to seniors and the disabled to try their luck at trout fishing.

In return, for the County’s financial support SCI Drayton Valley Chapter gives recognition during the banquet, in their newsletter and their website at www.scidraytonvalley.com.

Brazeau County recognizes the importance of community based events that bring people together in many ways for the benefit our community groups. FIN‐7 Community Organization Funding policy makes available $5,000 in event grant funding per quarter.

Brazeau County ‐ Request for Council Decision – SCI‐ Drayton Valley Chapter funding Page 1 of 2 65 The next grant deadline is October 1 (Q4). The policy states that “Brazeau County Council will approve applications for amounts exceeding $1,000”.

Administration is recommending $1,500 in event funding, typically event grants are under $1000, but Council has approved higher amounts. EPBR was granted $2500 in funding for parks day.

SCI Drayton Valley Chapter can apply for other grant opportunities through the Town of Drayton Valley and Drayton Valley Community Foundation, to name a few.

DATE TO COUNCIL: August 20, 2019

PREPARED BY: Colin Loose, Parks & Recreation Supervisor

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION

SUBJECT: Municipal Energy Efficiency Rebate Program (MEER) Request for Rebates on New Home Builds DATE TO COUNCIL: July 16, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Tamara London, Community Services Grants Administrator ENDORSED BY: REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO:

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council receive this report regarding the addition of new home builds to the Municipal Energy Efficiency rebate program for information.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

Executive Summary On May 6, 2019, Councillor Westerlund received a letter form a resident requesting that rebates on new home construction be included in the MEER program. The MEER program models Energy Efficiency Alberta (EEA). New homes are not included in the program because they represent an addition to energy requirements on the grid. Renovations represent an improvement or reduction on the energy requirements of the building. EEA rebates are based upon improvements to existing structures and not upon the products or efficiencies being installed during home construction. This is mentioned on EEA’s website under ‘Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)’ for the home improvement program: Why aren’t additions or new construction included? While we encourage builders and contractors to embrace best energy practices, this program is focused on energy reduction. Since new construction and new additions are new energy loads they represent an increase in energy demand and are therefore not included in this retrofit program designed to reduce energy consumption. Our communication to the public made clear that the MEER program will help residents receive great savings for qualifying home improvements. The addition to new home builds to the program would reduce the amount of funding available for improvements that reduce energy consumption, require changes to our marketing materials and communication to the public through various media channels.

Brazeau County ‐ Request for Council Decision – MEER Request for Rebates on New Home Builds Page 1 of 2 79 Relevant Policy: ADM‐18 Clean Energy & Climate Action Policy (CECAP)

Strategic Relevance: Brazeau County fosters innovation and supports the creation of clean energy generation.

2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION That Council receive this report regarding the addition of new home builds to the Municipal Energy Efficiency rebate program for information. Advantages Disadvantages ‐ MEER program would remain the ‐ Funding will continue to be made available to same and continue to effectively residents completing home improvements that reduce greenhouse gas emissions reduce energy consumption and energy consumption ‐ Residents that have constructed homes will not ‐ Residents that have constructed receive rebates on products or efficiencies homes can take advantage of the installed solar rebate

SUBJECT: Road Closure Bylaw 1034‐19 DATE TO COUNCIL: August 20, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Lynden Fischer, Director of Public Works and Infrastructure ENDORSED BY: REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO:

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

1. That Council give first reading to bylaw 1034‐19 to allow for the road closure and disposal by way of consolidation plan of a portion of statutory road allowance and set the date for Public Hearing for September 3, 2019.

2. TOPIC DEFINED

Executive Summary Administration requests that Council approve Bylaw 1034‐19 (Attachment 1) to permanently close a portion of a statutory road allowance adjacent to 4806 49th Ave within Lodgepole and have the portion consolidated into the land owned by the adjacent landowner. The Public Road Allowance and The Adjacent landowner’s lot are identified on a map for Councils review (Attachment 2). Safety concerns have been brought to the County’s attention by the adjacent land owner and the RCMP Drayton Valley Division. This Public Road allowance is being used for public mischief and disturbing the surrounding residents. The Public Works department has taken steps to mitigate this issue by installing alternative access to surrounding properties in hopes to reduce the usage of the public road allowance in question. To further rectify the issue Administration recommends to close the public access to this road, consolidating the land into the adjacent landowner’s lot. Land Acquired by the adjacent landowner would be purchased at the rate for residential land outlined in the County’s Land Acquisition Policy PW‐8. Alberta Transportation and its Minister are the approving authority on all road closures be they road plan or statutory road allowances. However as this statutory road allowance is located within the boundaries of Brazeau County, they require by virtue of their own policy a bylaw to be passed for the purpose of closure. Administration respectfully requests that Council give approval so Administration can begin the Closure process outlined in Part 1, Division 2, Section 22 of the Municipal Government act.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION

SUBJECT: Land Use Bylaw Amendment Bylaw 1028‐19: Redesignate Lot 1 Block 1 Plan 042 5336 within NE 19‐ 49‐06 W5M from Agricultural Holdings (AGH) to Agricultural (AG) DATE TO COUNCIL: August 20, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Kathleen Sterling, Senior Long Range Planner ENDORSED BY: J. Whaley, CAO REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO: 19A‐005

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council give Second and Third Reading of Bylaw 1028‐19 proposing Lot 1 Block 1 Plan 042 5336 within NE 19‐49‐06 W5M [approximately +5.94 ha (+14.68 acre)] be rezoned from Agricultural Holdings (AGH) to Agricultural (AG) as shown on the attached Schedule A.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

Executive Summary Administration has received an application to consolidate Lot 1 Block 1 Plan 042 5336 within NE 19‐49‐06 W5M with the remainder of the NE 19‐49‐06 W5M parcel. This consolidation is part of a proposed subdivision and consolidation application to allow for a new subdivision in the northwest corner of NE 19‐49‐06 W5M. The subdivided parcel will not require rezoning as it is currently Agricultural (AG) and will remain Agricultural (AG) if the subdivision is approved, as it will be approximately + 6.4 ha (+ 15.8 ac). This would maintain two (2) parcels within the quarter section. The subject parcel is not located within an Intermunicipal Development Plan or an Area Structure Plan, therefore no other documents require amending.

The application for subdivision and consolidation cannot move forward for decision until the land is rezoned to accommodate the size and use of the proposed parcel. As such, the applicant would like to rezone Lot 1 Block 1 Plan 042 5336 within NE 19‐49‐06 W5M from Agricultural Holdings (AGH) to Agricultural (AG) as show on the attached Schedule A of Bylaw 1028‐19, to accommodate a proposed consolidation for residential and agricultural use.

The applicant and landowner have already begun the application process for the aforementioned subdivision and consolidation.

Brazeau County ‐ Request for Council Decision – LUB Amendment 19A‐005 – Bylaw 1028‐19 Page 1 of 3 93 The quarter section is adjacent to the North Saskatchewan River and is located south of Township Road 494 and west of Range Road 65. The property being redistricted has access from Range Road 65.

The proposed Bylaw 1028‐19 was circulated to internal departments, external referral agencies, and adjacent landowners. Internal department response came from the Agricultural Department and Public Works and Infrastructure. There were no concerns or requests identified by any of the internal departments. Comments received from referral agencies identified that they had no concerns or objections. Alberta Environment and Parks did note that there is potential for erosion on the outer bend of the river, but no flood hazard study has been conducted in this area so no further information was provided. No adjacent landowner letters were received. A full list of comments is provided in Appendix E.

The subdivision application has been referred concurrently with this re‐zoning application and is scheduled to be heard by the Municipal Planning Commission on August 27, 2019.

Relevant Policy: The subject parcel is not located within either an Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) or an Area Structure Plan (ASP). The total number of lots within the quarter section will not exceed four (4) lots, so an ASP is not required for this subdivision as outlined in the Municipal Development Plan. The relevant policy was provided in the July 16, 2019 Council report.

Strategic Relevance: If successful after Public Hearing, the subdivision application will be taken to the MPC for decision.

2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION That Council give Second and Third Reading of Bylaw 1028‐19 proposing Lot 1 Block 1 Plan 042 5336 within NE 19‐49‐06 W5M [approximately +5.94 ha (+14.68 acre)] be rezoned from Agricultural Holdings (AGH) to Agricultural (AG) as shown on the attached Schedule A.

Advantages Disadvantages  The application will be able to move  None identified. forward within the process of re‐zoning for the purpose of consolidating the parcel.  Ensures that if the proposed consolidation is approved it will conform to the zones within the current Land Use Bylaw

Referral Agency Comments  Alberta Environment and Parks (Floodplain) – A flood hazard study has not been conducted at this location, so there is no flood hazard mapping for this area. The proposed subdivision is located along the outer bend of the North Saskatchewan River. Usually erosion occurs along the outer bends in rivers with time and so it would be expected that erosion would occur at this location.  Alberta Environment and Parks (Parks) – No concerns.  Buck Mountain Gas Co-op – no issues with subdivision of land provided that our Utility Right-of- way remains on all portions.  Canada Post – No concerns.  FortisAlberta – Dedicated power services are not currently owned by FortisAlberta. FortisAlberta operates and maintains the line, but comments regarding ownership, possible easements, concerns or issues will have to be addressed by Lindale REA.  TELUS – No issues or concerns.

Adjacent Landowner Comments None received.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION

SUBJECT: Bylaw 1031-19 Brazeau County / County of Wetaskiwin No. 10 Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) DATE TO COUNCIL: August 20, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Kathleen Sterling, Senior Long Range Planner ENDORSED BY: J. Whaley, CAO REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO: 19A-008

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council accepts the report about the Intermunicipal Development Plan between Brazeau County and the County of Wetaskiwin No. 10 as information.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

Executive Summary Recent changes to the Municipal Government Act (MGA) require Brazeau County to complete Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) and Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF) with all neighbouring municipalities. An ICF is a tool to facilitate cooperation between neighbouring municipalities in order to ensure municipal services are provided to residents efficiently. To have a completed ICF requires neighbouring municipalities to adopt an IDP first. The purpose of having both an IDP and an ICF is to ensure that the services and land use planning are compatible. The Brazeau County / County of Wetaskiwin No. 10 IDP project began on January 15, 2019 when the County of Wetaskiwin contacted Brazeau County with draft IDP and ICF documents. Since January both Administrations have discussed the requirements of the IDP and worked collaboratively to complete the proposed IDP document. Highlights from the Proposed IDP The policies in the IDP apply to the IDP Plan Area. The Plan Area is defined as land between a 1.6 kilometre (1 mile) boundary on either side of the intermunicipal border that separates the Counties. The Plan Area covers approximately 14261 hectares (35240 acres) of land in both municipalities. The IDP outlines the application referral process for both municipalities as they relate to new or amended Municipal Development Plans, Land Use Bylaws and Area Structure Plans. The referrals for subdivision and discretionary development permits in the Plan Area are also provided in this section of the IDP.

103 Policies in Section H confirm the collaboration between both municipalities on resource extraction in the Plan Area as it relates to resource development proposals and haul routes. This section also highlights the collaboration of sharing information about new or expanding Alberta Transportation gravel pits within the Plan Area. Section J outlines environmental matters and both Counties commitment to promote environmental stewardship and the heath of the regional ecosystem, watershed, wetlands and environmentally significant areas. IDP policies in Section L acknowledge the need to work together to ensure a safe and efficient transportation network is developed and maintained to service the farm operations, residents and businesses within the Plan Area. Polices in Section N specify the administration and implementation of the plan, including adoption, review and amendment processes. Section O specifies policies on how potential disputes on land use issues with the Plan Area will be address. This section includes the five stations in the dispute/conflict resolution process. Public Consultation A joint public open house is being planned for September 9, 2019 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Breton Golf Course to allow residents from both Counties the opportunity to provide comments on the draft IDP.

Relevant Policy: MGA Section 631(1) Two or more councils of municipalities that have common boundaries that are not members of a growth region as defined in section 708.01 must, by each passing a bylaw in accordance with the Part or in accordance with sections 12 and 692, adopt an intermunicipal development plan to include those areas of land lying within the boundaries of the municipalities as they consider necessary. MGA Section 631(3) The council of a municipality that is required under this section to adopt an intermunicipal development plan must have an intermunicipal development plan that provides for all of the matters referred to in subsection (2) within 2 years from the date this subsection comes into force. MGA Section 631(4) Subject to the regulations, if municipalities that are required to create an intermunicipal development plan are not able to agree on a plan, sections 708.33 and 708.43 apply as if the intermunicipal development plan were an intermunicipal collaboration framework. MGA Section 708.3(1) states an ICF is not complete unless the Councils for the municipalities that are parties to the framework have also adopted an IDP.

Strategic Relevance: Approval of the IDP will ensure a more integrated and strategic approach to intermunicipal land use planning and service delivery for Brazeau County and its residents.

104 2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION That Council accepts the report about the Intermunicipal Development Plan between Brazeau County and the County of Wetaskiwin No. 10 as information.

Advantages Disadvantages • Provides information contained in the IDP • None identified at this time. document to Council prior to public engagement. • Timelines for the IDP and ICF would continue to move forward in alignment with the County of Wetaskiwin’s plans to present to their Council.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION

SUBJECT: Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework between Brazeau County and The County of Wetaskiwin No. 10 DATE TO COUNCIL: August 20, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Kathleen Sterling, Senior Long Range Planner ENDORSED BY: J. Whaley, CAO REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO: 19M-010

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council accepts the report about the Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework between Brazeau County and the County of Wetaskiwin No. 10 as information.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

Executive Summary The Municipal Government Act (MGA) requires all municipalities to complete ICFs with all neighbouring municipalities. An ICF is a tool to facilitate cooperation between neighbouring municipalities in order to ensure municipal services are provided to residents efficiently. To have a completed ICF requires neighbouring municipalities to also adopt an Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP). The purpose of having both an IDP and ICF is to ensure that the services and land use planning are compatible. ICFs must be completed by April 2020 in accordance with the MGA. The ICF Bylaw must be approved by the adoption of matching bylaws by each partnering municipality. Brazeau County and the County of Wetaskiwin Administrations are currently collaborating to ensure the bylaws to be adopted by both municipalities are consistent. A Public Hearing is not required for an ICF. Currently the County of Wetaskiwin and Brazeau County are working to complete the Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) prior to bring the ICF forward for decision. This is due to requiring an IDP be adopted first in order to have a complete ICF. Brazeau County and the County of Wetaskiwin have discussed timelines and determined the IDP will be presented to each Council and approved prior to bringing forward the ICF for decision. Highlights from the Proposed ICF The ICF provides information regarding intermunicipal cooperation, municipal services offered to residents by both Counties, future projects and agreements and a process for dispute resolution. The municipal services described in the document include those that the County

124 provides, and will continue to provide, to their residents independently as well as those that are provided on an intermunicipal bases through agreements. Relevant Policy: Municipal Government Act Sections 708.26(1) to 708.46. MGA Section 708.3(1) states an ICF is not complete unless the Councils for the municipalities that are parties to the framework have also adopted an IDP.

Strategic Relevance: Approval of the ICF promotes a more integrated and strategic approach to intermunicipal land use planning and service delivery for Brazeau County and its residents.

2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION That Council accepts the report about the Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework between Brazeau County and the County of Wetaskiwin No. 10 as information.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION

SUBJECT: Rescind First Reading of Bylaw 1007-18: Rezoning Part of NE 32-49-8- W5M from Agricultural (AG) to Agricultural Holdings (AGH) DATE TO COUNCIL: August 20, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Chandra Dyck, Senior Planner ENDORSED BY: Jocelyn Whaley, CAO REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO: Land Use Amendment 18A-014

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

That First Reading of Bylaw 1007-18 proposing part of NE 32-49-8-W5M [approximately 5.05 ha (12.5 ac)] be redistricted from Agricultural (AG) to Agricultural Holdings (AGH) be rescinded.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

Executive Summary Administration received an application to rezone a portion of NE 32-49-8-W5M, to accommodate a future subdivision of two (2) residential lots. First Reading was given to the rezoning bylaw on November 6, 2018 and a Public Hearing was held on December 6, 2018. At that time, Council passed a motion (1239/18-12-04) to table Second and Third Readings to allow the applicant time to have discussion with Alberta Transportation regarding its requirements. The landowner has since withdrawn the application.

Relevant Policy: The subject lands are not within either an Area Structure Plan (ASP) or the Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP). The number of lots created per quarter section is not exceeding the Municipal Development Plan threshold of 4 lots per quarter section, after which an ASP is required.

Strategic Relevance: The application for redistricting and subdivision have both been withdrawn. Therefore the amendment should not progress any further.

135 2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION That First Reading of Bylaw 1007-18 proposing part of NE 32-49-8-W5M [approximately 5.05 ha (12.5 ac)] be redistricted from Agricultural (AG) to Agricultural Holdings (AGH) be rescinded.

Advantages Disadvantages • Closes the proposed amending • None identified. bylaw, rather than leaving it pending until it expires pursuant to section 188(a) of the Municipal Government Act.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION

SUBJECT: Land Use Bylaw Textual Amendment - Bylaw 1035-19 DATE TO COUNCIL: August 20, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Martine Martindale, Development Officer ENDORSED BY: Chandra Dyck, Senior Planner REVIEWED BY CAO: Jocelyn Whaley, Chief Administrative Officer FILE NO: 19A-009

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Bylaw 1035-19 to amend Land Use Bylaw (LUB) 1002-18 to add “Personal Service Facility” as a Permitted Use in Section 12.2 RI - Rural Industrial District be given First Reading, and that a Public Hearing for the same be scheduled for September 17, 2019 at 10:15 am.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

Executive Summary: Administration is bringing forward textual amendments to the Land Use Bylaw (LUB) to allow for Personal Service Facility to be permitted use in the Rural Industrial (RI) District. The proposed Bylaw 1035-19 would amend the LUB to add the use of “Personal Service Facility” under permitted uses in Section 12.2(2) RI - Rural Industrial District. Key Issue(s)/Concepts Defined:

The proposed amendment to the LUB is prepared as a result of discussions with a Personal Service Facility business owner who has brought to Administration’s attention that currently there are no provisions for this use in the Rural Industrial (RI) District. Accordingly, a Development Permit application to operate such business would have to be refused by the Development Authority, as it is neither a permitted nor a discretionary use. This amendment seeks to add the Personal Service Facility use, allowing such businesses to operate in the Rural Industrial (RI) District and receive a Development Permit as requested. It is also anticipated that such permits would be easily processed and issued upon receipt of an application in the Rural Industrial (RI) District in the future.

Relevant Policy:

LUB 1002-18.

156 Strategic Relevance: Responding to business owners in relation to the permitted uses within the LUB will enable Brazeau County to better support potential economic development.

2. RESPONSE OPTIONS

Advantages Disadvantages • Allows for the proposed amendment • None identified. to be circulated after which it will be presented within a Public Hearing. • If eventually passed, the amendment will allow the approval of development permits for this type of use which adheres to Brazeau County Statutory Plans and Regulations, and supports the potential for economic development.

Dear Mr. Guyon,

Thank you for taking the time to send your congratulations on my appointment as Minister of Alberta Energy. I appreciate your kind words and welcome your thoughts on our government's plans for the future of energy in Alberta.

I am excited to begin the work Albertans have asked our government to do to get our economy back on track. We have already seen interest from businesses and investors, who are responding positively to our government's plans for the Job Creation Tax Cut, the Red Tape Reduction Act and our efforts to stand up for Alberta. Every day we will work towards getting unemployed Albertans back to work while pushing for pipelines and smart, forward-thinking resource policy.

I look forward to connecting with Albertans and stakeholders in the months ahead to inform our government's ambitious energy agenda. With the support of Albertans like you, I know we will achieve these goals.

Sincerely,

Sonya Savage Minister

Dear Ms. Whaley,

I am writing to extend my deepest thanks for your participation in the Smart Cities Challenge.

The work that you and your community undertook in the development of your proposal has been an inspiration to other communities, to Canadians across the country, and to me personally. Your community's passion and commitment to making things better for residents was demonstrated by the quality of your final proposal and the evident thought and care that went into its development.

We designed the Smart Cities Challenge with the hope that communities would take the lead in finding solutions for local issues using data and connected technology. The result of the call for ideas was beyond what we imagined - the breadth and scope of innovative approaches and proposed solutions was remarkable. As a finalist community, you rose to the challenge and developed a highly competitive final proposal which now stands out as an inspirational model for other communities across the country. As "alumni" to the first competition of the Challenge, my department will look for ways for you to continue to connect, network and share ideas with other finalists, and we will continue to showcase your irmovative and transformative proposals.

...2 Canada 161 Enclosed, please find a certificate signed by the Honourable Fran9ois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, recognizing your valuable contribution to the Challenge.

I wish you every future success on your smart cities journey.

Sincerely,

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION

SUBJECT: Proposed 2020 Budget Discussion Dates DATE TO COUNCIL: August 20, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Colin Swap, General Manager of Finance ENDORSED BY: REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO:

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council set November 21, 22, 25, 28 and 29, 2019 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for initial 2020 Budget discussions.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

Executive Summary Brazeau County Administration is already beginning work on Budget 2020. As such, the Finance Department is looking ahead to dates for Council budget discussions later in the fall. Looking at internal tasks and deadlines, as well as the date for this year’s RMA Fall Convention for Council, Administration is recommending initial meetings be scheduled for the last week in November. This year’s RMA Fall Convention is scheduled from November 12‐15. Scheduling Council budget discussions prior to the RMA convention would not give Administration sufficient time to finalize the budget presentation for distribution for Council’s review prior to budget meetings. By scheduling four initial days in the final week of November, Administration will have Council budget presentation packages ready for distribution on November 18. Should additional dates be required, Administration would recommend the first week of December. At the end of budget discussions Council could either pass an interim budget, or it could be passed at the December 17, 2019 Council meeting. As per Municipal Government Act requirements, a municipality must have a budget in place prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year.
