☐ DIRECTION REQUEST ☒ REQUEST FOR DECISION ☐ INFORMATION ITEM

DATE: Regular Council Meeting of May 4, 2021

PRESENTED BY: Emily Olsen, Chief Administrative Officer

RE: MUNICIPAL RESERVE DISPOSAL

Recommended Action

That Council proceed with the removal of the Municipal Reserve designation from approximately 157 m2 of Plan 962 0706, Block 1, Lot 40MR (137 Meier Street) as shown on the Municipal Reserve disposal map.

That Council direct Administration to convert the approximately 157 m2 of Plan 962 0706, Block 1, Lot 40MR (137 Meier Street) as shown on the Municipal Reserve disposal map to road right-of-way.

Background

During the past several months, Administration has been working with the landowner of 816 Carmichael Lane on the proposed development of their undeveloped parcel. As the landowner has been working with their clients, several design concepts have been discussed with feedback provided in order to aid the landowner in maximizing the use of the parcel while maintaining compliance with Land Use Bylaw 1088 and legislation.

In order to facilitate improved vehicular flow on the parcel, 816 Carmichael Lane would like to access Meier Street from the rear of their parcel. Currently, they do not have legal rear access to Meier Street because of a small sliver of Municipal Reserve (MR) land between this parcel and the Meier Street road right-of-way (refer to Attachment 1 Municipal Reserve Disposal Map). This sliver of land is approximately 157 m2 (0.04 acres) in area and is a part of 137 Meier Street (Plan 962 0706, Block 1, Lot 40MR) which contains the majority of the Natural Resources Interpretive Park. In order to grant a development permit with access to Meier Street, the small sliver must either be purchased by 816 Carmichael Lane or converted to road right-of-way.

The landowner of 816 Carmichael Lane applied for the disposal of this small portion of MR with the intent for it to be converted into road right-of-way and extend the Meier Street road right-of-way to the property lines of 816 Carmichael Lane.

Administration introduced this MR disposal at the April 13, 2021 Standing Committee Meeting. Notification of the public hearing held on May 4, 2021 was posted in the April 22 and 29, 2021 editions of the Hinton Voice newspaper, mailed to adjacent landowners, and physically posted on the site. No written submissions, for or against the MR disposal, have been received to date.

Analysis

MR is regulated by the Municipal Government Act to be used for parks, recreational areas, school purposes, or to separate areas of land with different uses. The larger site of 137 Meier Street is a park

Written by: Mindi Petkau, Planning Technologist Page 21 of 120 Page 2 of 4 and is intended to remain as such. However, as subdivisions occurred over the years, the property lines of 137 Meier Street are such that this small portion of land lies between the end of the Meier Street road right-of-way and 816 Carmichael Lane.

Administration has evaluated this small portion of land and although technically it is not considered a road because of its definition as MR, it has been functioning as such for many years (refer to Attachment 2 Site Photos). There is support from Administration to convert this portion of MR to road right-of-way in order to legalize its current use and support the business development of 816 Carmichael Lane.

In order to utilize this portion of 137 Meier Street for access to 816 Carmichael Lane, a process set out by the Municipal Government Act must be followed because it is designated MR. This includes notification to adjacent landowners, advertising in the local newspaper, posting on the site itself, a public hearing, and finally a resolution of Council. Should Council support the reserve disposal, the conversion to road right-of-way or subdivision into a separate parcel can proceed.

Conversion into road right-of-way is the simplest and most cost-effective solution because it does not require a full subdivision process and can be accomplished by surveying and the registration of a new road plan at land titles.

The conversion of this portion of MR to road right-of-way benefits both the Town and the landowner. The Town benefits by converting a portion of its land to match its actual use. The landowner benefits by obtaining legal road access to the rear of their parcel. Since there is mutual benefit, the costs of this conversion have been allocated such that the Town will pay for the surveying and land title registration costs while the landowner will pay for the application fee and advertising costs.

The surveying and land titles registration costs for this option were included in the 2021 budget as a part of the management of municipal land assets. The application and advertising costs ($1,100) were received from the landowner along with the application.

Sale of the portion of 137 Meier Street is another avenue that could be explored. However, this would negatively affect the timelines for the landowner, is less cost effective, and more complicated. The benefit to the Town is that it would result in a small increase in short term revenue from the sale of this parcel. However, the timelines involved in a sale negotiation and subdivision process could result in the delay in site development and resulting increased tax revenue over the long term. It may also negatively affect the relationship with this landowner.

Administration is recommending Council provide a resolution to remove the MR designation this portion of 137 Meier Street and to direct Administration to convert this area to road right-of-way. This proposed action will support the landowner of 816 Carmichael Lane to achieve their construction timelines for 2021 site development.

Level of Service Implications • Extending the road will increase the Meier Street level of service specifically for one landowner. The impact to Meier Street overall is negligible.

• With rear access to Meier Street from 816 Carmichael Lane, this section of Meier Street will become available for through traffic. This change in traffic pattern may require increased Bylaw Services activity in the short-term to re-adjust public behavior in this area. For example, this section of Meier Street has been utilized for semi-truck parking in the past which has blocked Meier Street.

Public Engagement • A public hearing must be held prior to Council providing a resolution on the proposed MR disposal.

Communications • The public hearing for the proposed MR disposal was advertised in the Hinton Voice for two consecutive editions (April 22 and April 29, 2021), was posted on the site itself, and notice was also mailed to adjacent landowners.

Risk / Liability • The risk in not moving forward with the MR disposal and offering the opportunity to access Meier Street for this landowner is they will need to re-design their site causing delays and potentially the loss of a client. This, in turn, presents the risk to the Town of less growth opportunities and less tax revenue.

TOWN OF HINTON Administrative Report

☐ DIRECTION REQUEST ☒ REQUEST FOR DECISION ☐ INFORMATION ITEM

DATE: Regular Council Meeting of May 4, 2021

PRESENTED BY: Emily Olsen, Chief Administrative Officer

RE: PROPOSED POLICY CS 7200 RECREATION & PARKS USER FEE POLICY

Recommended Action

That Council approve Policy CS 7200 Recreation & Parks User Fee Policy, including 2021-2024 Fee Schedules A and B as presented.

Background

Policy CS 7200 (known as Policy 082 at the time, Attachment 1) was amended by Council in the fall of 2020 to reflect their intent to provide additional financial support for residents, incentives for special events and charitable organizations, as well as incorporate an additional outdoor spaces category into the policy. The associated Fee Schedules expiring on August 31, 2021 were not amended at that time as the process to do so is prompted in the spring before each three-year term expires.

At the Standing Committee Meeting of April 13, 2021, the following motion carried:

“That Committee direct Administration to collect public feedback regarding the proposed Policy CS 7200 Recreation & Parks User Fee Policy, including 2021- 2024 Fee Schedules A and B as presented, and bring a report to Regular Council on May 4, 2021 for decision.”

Administration implemented a three-week period for public feedback/engagement in which the public and user groups were provided information about the proposed policy changes and three- year term fee schedules. The results from the public engagement period up to the submission of this report are provided herein. Any additional feedback received between the report submission deadline and the Regular Council Meeting of May 4, 2021 will be presented during that meeting.

The public has been informed through: • Council Briefs and Council minutes • Town of Hinton website • Civic send / Newsflash • Electronic sign and poster at Recreation Centre • Recreation Centre Info line (780-865-6066) messaging

All indoor and outdoor user groups also received the information through targeted email correspondence and were asked to return a short survey.

Written By: Hans van Klaveren, Parks, Recreation & Culture Manager Page 28 of 120 Page 2 of 5

Analysis

Policy CS 7200 is a comprehensive guiding document to establish admission fees and rental charges for recreation facilities such as the Dr. Duncan Murray Recreation Centre (Attachment 2).

The Parks, Recreation & Culture Service Branch generates revenues through user fees as part of its Operating Budget. In 2019, the Town implemented three-year municipal operating budgets (most recently being 2021-2023) in which the revenues are proposed by Administration and approved by Council. The anticipated revenues based on existing and proposed fee increases that are now under consideration should reflect (achieve) the approved annual budgets.

The proposed fee increases are created based on the policy guidelines and generate an estimated revenue total which is reflected in the budget.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the community and their participation in recreation activities in many ways. The financial situation of our residents and user groups have been under strain and this will likely continue. As such, foreseeable consequences for the financial position of the Parks, Recreation & Culture Service Branch was incorporated in the current budget year of 2021 (including an estimated 20% reduction in revenue and temporary service level reductions) and were addressed accordingly with the known and projected impacts at the time. Administration continues to monitor impacts to adhere to the 2021 budget as the pandemic continues. Long term financial impacts are being discussed in preparation for post-pandemic results and in hopes of re- establishing regular usage and operations of our recreation facilities.

In the past three years, increases of 3% (2018), 4% (2019) and 4% (2020) were implemented to ensure our user fees were brought to a level that sustains programs and services, while considering market and comparable community indicators and other requirements as prescribed in the Policy.

Additional aspects that influence multi-year fees and charges planning are:

• Annual expense increases such as wages, materials and utilities • Alberta Consumer Price Index (ACPI) for 2021 is calculated to be 1.30% (past five-year average = 1.62% per year) • Applying ACPI and COLA (Cost of Living Adjustments) is good practice to avoid significant jumps in fee increases to catch up in future years or having to consider service level or service area reductions.

Pre-School Age Group Adjustment

Fee structures are compared with neighboring / comparator communities and the recreational services they deliver (Attachment 3). Many facilities offer free admission for infants; specifically, the age group newborn to 2 years old. Over past years, Hinton residents and visitors have expressed that establishing this practice would positively influence the ability for young parents and caregivers to engage in affordable physical activities with their young children to build strong developmental foundations.

The impact to the budget to forego a portion of the annual admission revenue from the Pre-School Age Group will be offset by the proposed percentage increases in the upcoming years resulting in the same projection of overall budgeted revenue.

The attachments reflect the proposed adjustment to this age group in the Policy, as well as in Schedule A for the admission fees.

Page 29 of 120 Page 3 of 5

Proposed Annual Fee Increase(s)

The revenue amounts approved by Council for the 2021-2023 Budget years reflect projected fee increases as proposed:

• Year 1 (effective September 1, 2021): 0% • Year 2 (effective September 1, 2022): + 2% • Year 3 (effective September 1, 2023): + 2%

Below is an overview demonstrating the impact of the proposed fee increases on the total generated revenues for impacted budget areas.

BUDGET 2020 (+4%) (+4%) Jan - Aug Sept - Dec $ 443,301 $ 279,099 $ 164,202 Total: $ 443,301

BUDGET 2021 (+4%) (0%) Jan - Aug Sept - Dec $ 366,230 $ 290,263 $ 164,202 Total: $ 454,465 budgeted at ~80% = 366,230

BUDGET 2022 (0%) (+2%) Jan - Aug Sept - Dec $ 454,064 $ 290,263 $ 167,486 Sub: $ 457,749 $ 3,685 offset lost 0-2yrs of age revenue Total: $ 454,064

BUDGET 2023 (+2%) (+2%) Jan - Aug Sept - Dec $ 462,855 $ 296,068 $ 170,835 Sub: $ 466,903 $ 4,048 offset lost 0-2yrs of age revenue Total: $ 462,855

These increases are placed on the regular adult admission fee and the regular (prime) adult rental rate. All other fees and charges are calculated using these base fees and according to policy guidelines (Schedules A and B).

The proposed Policy (Attachment 2) has incorporated edits that do not alter the policy’s intent or regulations; the changes are simply to correct spelling, formatting, numbering, and omissions. Sections that now conform to new policy document standards include:

• 5.0 Definitions section is alphabetized; • 6.0 Appendices, Procedures & Forms section is added; and • 7.0 Revision Control section is added.

Public Engagement Feedback

The feedback received by Administration through the on-line survey from April 14 up to April 27, 2021 is described below:

Total amount of surveys received in this period: 18

Have you reviewed all the relevant Policy documents? Yes: 94% No: 6% Do you support the Proposed Recreation & Parks User Fee Schedule 2021-2024? Yes: 61% No: 39% If no (above), please specify which fee(s) you are concerned about and why? Responses Received: 39% • 5 thought they will be charged to use outdoor spaces. Note: The schedule was revised for clarity by including the word 'Rental' • 1 felt fees could be higher. • 1 felt this was not the time to raise fees Additional (general) comments Comments Received: 56% Resident Who Pays User Fees Total %: 78% Resident Who Does not Pay User Fees Total %: 11% Representative of Community Organization Who Pays User Fees Total %: 6%

An overview of the responses and comments received through the survey can be reviewed in Attachment 4.

Implications of Decision

The proposed fee increases and change to the age group of children 0-2 years old that allows free use of recreation facilities, will generate the estimated budget revenues as approved in the annual budgets for 2021-2023.

The proposed Fee Schedules A and B reflect these changes.

It is particularly important for user groups to know the rental rates for the upcoming season so they can plan and determine their registration fees. Therefore, a final decision regarding the fee schedule is desirable in May to allow for this.

Council Approved

THE TOWN OF Community Services (CS) 7200#082 Approved HINTON Month XX, 2021 Next Review Date May 31, 2024

1.0 POLICY STATEMENT

1.1 The Town of Hinton provides a variety of recreation, leisure and sporting opportunities for residents and visitors. While the delivery of recreation services addresses a basic human need and reflects the values of our community and the desire to present Hinton as a vibrant centre, a user fee policy provides a balanced approach for establishing fees in consideration of achieving overall goals.

2.0 REASON FOR POLICY/GOALS

2.1 Reducing the reliance on property taxes by recovering an appropriate portion of the costs for various services from the user(s) that primarily benefit from them.

2.2 Providing a fair and equitable process that encourages accessibility and participation.

2.3 Ensuring that fees contribute to the public’s effective and efficient use of Town owned and operated assets including recreation facilities, parks, and open spaces.

2.4 Identifying the relative pricing provided to various user segments.

2.5 Establishing meaningful and realistic goals that provide enough flexibility to meet evolving social values and changing fiscal pressures.

4.1.1 Strategic Directions: fees are developed under the general guidance from any corporate policies and directives, approved strategic/long-range plans, or approved budget documents. 4.1.2 Cost Based: fees are developed in recognition of the changing costs required to offer those services and cost recovery targets that have been established through business planning processes. Cost recovery targets recognize the evolving relationship between the public good and the benefit provided to the individual user(s) and require a multi-year perspective. 4.1.3 Market Based: fees are developed in consideration of evolving industry trends, and the fees charged for other similar opportunities provided by alternate service providers. 4.1.4 Social Responsibility Based: fees are developed in recognition of the social benefits and outcomes desired (for example, implementation of a reduced fee program that encourages access by disadvantaged user groups). 4.1.5 Revenue Based: individual fees are strategically developed to maximize revenue growth in consideration of price sensitivity, price elasticity, volume and demand curves, and any other pricing considerations.

This policy is subject to any specific provisions of the Municipal Government Act, other relevant legislation, or Union Agreements.

A This is great!

I agree with a user fee for facilities. I do not agree with a user fee for green spaces, ball diamonds, or anything outside actually. Also if the idea is to rely less on Property Taxes does that mean my taxes willl go down if this goes into affect? B

Although not necessarily opposed to the idea of user fees, there needs to be some outline about how $150/day (adult) and $75/day (kids) fees - hoping those are typos? - for outdoor spaces, "including playgrounds", will be collected/enforced? And although the policy states this should not further disadvantage disadvantaged groups, there's nothing about how it will avoid doing that. C

I do agree with ball diamonds, soccer fields, etc having fees fees for park spaces - I am concerned about being charged for use as these are team sports and leagues. But I don't fees to use community parks with my children for think that public children who have tax paying parents should recreational purposes. I don't agree that there should be a have to pay to use the park when often they don't have a cost to go to the park. backyard or other place to get outdoors. D

Prices and increases are all very fair. We still pay less than most towns for recreation. I don't see a problem if the prices were higher yet. Good Job! E

I support these proposed fees being that our taxes in Hinton are very high. I am almost at the point that if our taxes go up anymore I might have to consider moving to a different community. Also I rarely use these facilities so I believe those that do use them can pay for them. F I'm actually totally fine with almost all of the fee structure. The only concern I have is the fees for park spaces. I understand that user groups such the baseball, soccer, and football leauges will need to pay for extended use throughout their seasons, I think that it is unreasonable to expect individuals to pay a fee either daily or per hour to use park spaces. If the fee structure is for community groups, then the user fee schedule needs to state that. G

TOWN OF HINTON Administrative Report

☐ DIRECTION REQUEST ☒ REQUEST FOR DECISION ☐ INFORMATION ITEM

DATE: Regular Council Meeting of May 4, 2021

PRESENTED BY: Emily Olsen, Chief Administrative Officer

RE: AQUATICS PROMOTIONAL PROGRAM RATES SUBSIDIZATION

Recommended Actions

That Council direct Administration to further extend the subsidization of the aquatics promotional program rates of $20 for non-members / $10 for members per half hour by 50% until the end of day June 15, 2021 and recuperate lost revenues from MOST funds.

That Council direct Administration to modify the hours of bookings available in the Dr. Duncan Murray Recreation Centre to reflect Option D until the end of day June 15, 2021 and recuperate the increased direct expenses from MOST Funds.

Background

On March 2, 2021 Council moved that the promotional program fees were to be subsidized by 50% up to April 6, 2021 by a contribution out of reserve created from the Municipal Operating Support Transfer (MOST) funds.

At the Regular Council Meeting of April 6, 2021, the promotional program fee reduction was discussed and the following motion carried:

“That Council direct Administration to reduce the promotional program rates of $20 for non- member / $ 10 for member per half hour by 50% until the end of day May 4, 2021 and recuperate lost revenues from MOST funds.”

During this meeting Council discussed potential service hour adjustments and subsequent financial implications. Changes of opening hours could expand the service level or have the facility open for the public at alternate times than currently scheduled, for example in weekends. The following motion was moved and carried:

“That a Request for Decision Report be presented at the May 4, 2021 Regular Council Meeting regarding the current service level and budget impacts of the Promotional Program as well as opportunities for adjusted hours at the Dr. Duncan Murray Recreation Centre.”

The service restrictions that are currently in place are related to Step 1 as per Alberta Health Services regulations. There is no indicated timeline for easing or further restricting of these safety measures or any implications to the allowable usage of indoor recreation facilities.

Written By: Hans van Klaveren, Parks, Recreation & Culture Manager Page 59 of 120 Page 2 of 6

Analysis

Providing a recreation facility to the residents has three main financial components: 1. Building of the infrastructure 2. Maintenance (ongoing) and replacement (ongoing and lifecycle) of the infrastructure 3. Operations of the facility and services Each component puts certain financial weight on the community. User fees are related to Maintenance (2) and Operations (3), with lifecycle replacement and Building (1 & 2) being addressed through capital projects and specific funding.

The revenues from user fees and charges, as part of the operational budget, do not cover the Maintenance and Operations costs in their entirety and therefore each visit and hour that the facilities are open for users is being subsidized by taxation revenue. This is the common practice of partial cost recovery for municipal service delivery and is reflected in the net deficit of the approved Operating Budget.

The current Council approved 2021 operational budget has projections for revenues based on a 20% estimated decrease of collection of user fees and rental charges related to the pandemic situation and restrictions known at the end of 2020. The expenses for operations and maintenance were adjusted to balance the budget as directed by Council.

Recreation management staff has been responding and fine tuning the day-to-day operations in relation to the ongoing influences of the pandemic and reduced revenue impacts. Up to this moment, this was possible without compromising the expected service levels while still projecting the approved net deficit for the fiscal year. Remaining at the current service levels without sufficient and offsetting revenue streams will, from here on, result in a heightened net deficit in the recreation operation budget area. Increasing service hours will also further create an increase of the net deficit as the additional costs will not be recuperated by user fees and the extra subsidy funding levels allocated by Council at this moment.

Note 1: Staffing levels in the Customer Service Clerk area have been under pressure due to pandemic consequences and it has proven to be a challenge to retain and train new staff members. Increasing the service hours at the front desk requires a planning and implementation period of at least 14 days after any decision and direction is made.

Note 2: The usage of the facility shows that there is a correlation with the level of active COVID-19 cases in the community. In recent weeks, the use of the pool reservation slots was less and dropped from about 95% use to approximately 85% use of available time slots. The Courts and Bouldering Wall have not seen a use of more than 25% in any of the preceding weeks.

Options regarding service levels and related financial impacts are described below. More detailed calculations can be reviewed in Attachment 1. • Option A is directly related to the recommended action and alternatives that Council can consider for decision regarding the current service level and the reservation fee reduction that needs a decision to move forward past May 4. • Options B, C and D have been formulated for Council’s consideration for service level amendments and budget impacts. If chosen, these options or any variant require specific direction and separate motions from Council.

Page 60 of 120 Page 3 of 6

Option A. Current Service Level

Current service level is pool usage hours on weekdays (Monday through Friday) from 06:30am to 7:30pm. This is on average 102 half hour slots, for exercise reservation, per week plus additional one-on-one lesson slots.

The current maximum subsidy as per Council’s direction up to May 4, 2021 from the MOST funding is, based on 102 slots, $ 1,020 per week or $ 4,488 per month (calculated as 4 weeks and 2 days = 4.4 factor)

Option B. Extend Monday – Friday Evenings

Current public reservation hours are offered until 7:30pm on weekday evenings. An extension without putting more aquatic staff members on the schedule (re-organizing schedules and workload) will create an additional 20 half hour slots, for exercise reservation, per week. There needs to be more Customer Service Clerk hours scheduled to attend the front desk and staff receives additional Shift Differential (Shift Diff) payment for working in the evening.

In case there is no uptake of any of these additional slots, the increased deficit is $ 239 per week or $ 1,050 per month. When slots are reserved and used, the user fee collection and consequent subsidy allocated by Council could generate up to a maximum of $ 400 per week ($ 200 by all non-members plus $ 200 MOST subsidy) or $ 1,760 per month ($ 880 by all non-members plus $ 880 MOST subsidy).

Option C. Extend Hours into Weekend - Minimum Staff shift = 4 hours

In this option, all opening hours during the weekdays remain the same (6:30am - 7:30pm). Extra hours in the weekend are possible when additional staff is scheduled, which must be a minimum of 4 hours as per the Collective Agreement. This would result in an additional 6 half hour slots, for exercise reservation, per shift. Extra Aquatic and Customer Service Clerk (CSC) staff will need to be scheduled and an additional Shift Differential (Shift Diff) payment for working in the weekends must be included as well.

In case there is no uptake of any of these additional slots, the increased deficit is $ 441 per week or $ 1,942 per month. When slots are reserved and used, the user fee collection and consequent subsidy allocated by Council could generate up to a maximum of $ 120 per week ($ 60 by all non- members plus $ 60 MOST subsidy) or $ 264 per month ($ 264 by all non-members plus $ 264 MOST subsidy).

Option D. Open on Sunday BUT CLOSE on Fridays Daytime

The current public reservation hours can be re-distributed to allow for opening hours in the weekend. This will not result in additional reservation slots. Aquatic and Customer Service staff members can be re-scheduled to work on Sundays instead of Friday mornings, though the CSC staff needs to be scheduled for 2 hours extra to cover the front desk. This schedule change involves one-time overtime costs related to shift rotation for the Full Time Headguard. There will be ongoing costs for Weekend Differential (Shift Diff) payment for all staff working Sunday daytime shifts and the two extra hours required for the additional Customer Service Clerk time.

This option means that the Recreation Centre will be closed for the public on Friday mornings and special arrangements must be made for phone support and building occupancy by the Day Care organization.

Page 61 of 120 Page 4 of 6

Two (2) additional slots can be reserved, and the user fee collection and consequent subsidy allocated by Council could generate up to a maximum of $ 40 per week ($ 20 by all non-members plus $ 20 MOST subsidy) or $ 176 per month ($ 88 by all non-members plus $ 88 MOST subsidy).

There is a one-time expense of $ 423 (minimal once but potentially extra for each time a Headguard needs to perform a shift rotation) plus an increased deficit of $ 76 per week or $ 336 per month.

Implications of Decision

Each option has its own effect on service, targeted customers, and user experience. The tables below show the financial and legislative implications of Option A. (to continue with the current service level and Council approved subsidization).

Option B, Option C, and Option D have their own financial impacts as shown in the attachment, while the other implications will be similar in nature.

The options of a partial or complete closure of the Aquatic facility, the Customer Service area or the full Recreation Centre complex have not been contemplated at this moment. Considerations that will have to be addressed in these scenarios is the continuation of service for other programs or lease holders such as FCSS and Day Care, as well as ongoing maintenance and safety operations related to the building (e.g. water chemistry, safety systems and backroom equipment).

Financial Implications (for Option A plus D) Items Comments Operating Cost/Implications Continued net deficit increase of the Community Services Operating Budget 2021. Up to $ 1,020 per week, $ 4,488 per month for Option A, and One time amount of $ 423 plus $ 76 per week, $ 336 per month for Option D. Contributions funded from other source (MOST).

Capital Cost None

Budget Available Yes

Source of Funds MOST funding – 2021 reserve allocation

Unbudgeted Costs Yes

Public Engagement o There is no public engagement process initiated or directed by Council to be executed by Administration. Comments are collected from current facility users and shared for consideration by management.

Communications o The Community Services Department and Communications Service Unit will work together to inform the public about the user fees for the promotional program and any service level changes.

Page 62 of 120 Page 5 of 6

Risk / Liability o There is a risk that the Community Services net deficit will increase to a level that cannot be offset within the approved Municipal Operating Budget for 2021. This will be then brought before Council for direction and decision.

Legislative Implications Conforms with: Yes/No Comments Partial Council’s Strategic Plan Partial KS 1.2.2. Sustain and expand 12-month recreation. This Key Strategy will be under pressure when net deficit is increasing and other funding resources need to be allocated to offset operating expenses.

Community Sustainability Yes 1.3.1. Enhance and develop facilities, programs and Plan services that meet the recreation and leisure needs of the community and promote healthy lifestyles 2.8.1 Develop services and programs that promote, educate, and encourage healthy lifestyle choices for all ages

Municipal Policies / Bylaws Yes None

Provincial Laws or MGA Yes None

Other plans or policies Partial The Community Services 2021 Operational Budget will see an increased net deficit if current service levels and revenue reductions continue.

Options / Alternatives

1. That Council direct Administration to further extend the subsidization of the aquatics promotional program rates of $20 for non-members / $10 for members per half hour by 50% until the end of day June 15, 2021 and recuperate lost revenues from MOST funds.

2. That Council direct Administration to further extend the subsidization of the aquatics promotional program rates of $20 for non-members / $10 for members per half hour by 50% until the end of day June 15, 2021 and recuperate lost revenues from MOST funds.

That Council direct Administration to increase the hours of bookings available in the Dr. Duncan Murray Recreation Centre to include ……... (option as determined by Council) until the end of day ……..., 2021 (date determined by Council) and recuperate the increased direct expenses from MOST Funds.

The chosen option(s) can be selected as Option B or C individually, compounded or in combination (including Option D) and will impact the budget accordingly.

Page 63 of 120 Page 6 of 6

3. That Council direct Administration to reduce the aquatics promotional program rates of $20 for non-members / $10 for members per half hour by X% (percentage determined by Council) until the end of day ……..., 2021 (date determined by Council) and recuperate lost revenues from MOST funds.

The chosen option(s) can be selected as Option B or C individually, compounded or in combination (including Option D) and will impact the budget accordingly.

4. That Council direct Administration to further extend the subsidization of the aquatics promotional program rates of $20 for non-members / $10 for members per half hour by 50% until the end of day June 15, 2021 and recuperate lost revenues from MOST funds.

This option implies status quo (Option A only with no modifications or additions to the current program schedule).

5. That the Aquatics Promotional Program Rates Subsidization report be accepted for information.

This option implies that no further subsidization will be supported by Council and that Administration will reinstate the promotional program rates of $20 for non- members / $ 10 for members per half hour effective May 5, 2021 and until such time as Administration deems the program to be ineffective/inefficient, a modification can be implemented as per Policy #082 / Policy CS7200, or COVID- 19 restrictions are lifted or increased by Alberta Health Services.

DATE: Regular Council Meeting of May 4, 2021.

PRESENTED BY: Emily Olsen, Chief Administrative Officer

RE: RESCIND COUNCIL MOTION MD – 2050 (IN-FILL POLICY)

Recommended Action

That Council rescind Motion MD – 2050 as per Council Action Pending List and instruct Administration to embed infill design guidelines in the form of Appendix A as part of a new directive.

Background

This item was before Council at their Regular Meeting of April 6, 2021 and was requested by Councillor Ostashek in writing (Attachment 1) to be brought back to the Regular Meeting of Council on May 4, 2021 as it relates to Council’s Procedural Bylaw.

Council, at their Regular Meeting of August 18, 2020 made the following motion as follows:

That Council direct Administration to bring back an In-Fill Development Policy to a Standing Committee Meeting by March 31, 2021.

This motion was put forward by Council because our Town has many situations where services to existing lots are incomplete and/or not up to municipal standards. This often means no water, sanitary sewer, paved roadways and storm water plan, or no sidewalks, curb, gutter, etc.

Analysis

The Town of Hinton Municipal Development Plan (MDP) which is a high-level policy document designed to guide the physical development of Hinton over the next 30 years is due for review and update in 2021 as per Section 8-1 Implementation Policies. This policy already encourages, where practical, infill and intensification in developed areas. The Appendixes A (Land Development Guidelines) & B (Established Area Guidelines) that are within the MDP do not form part of the statutory portion of the MDP, but rather their purpose is to provide information to further clarify the intent of MDP policies. Therefore, as part of the update, Administration will be recommending the removal of the appendixes and create them as Directives as per Policy #1106 with an overarching Policy to be approved by Council.

Within Appendix A, Administration will be embedding design guidelines for compatible development in established residential, commercial and industrial in-fill on a principal basis. Administration is requesting Council to rescind Motion MD – 2050 as this will provide enhanced value as having a standalone policy and will provide Administration more flexibility, nimbleness and mitigate/reduce red tape.

Emily Olsen Chief Administrative Officer | She/Her Town of Hinton | Gateway to the Rockies

From: Councillor Albert Ostashek Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2021 6:08 PM To: ! Council 2017-2021 Cc: Emily Olsen Subject: Motion to rescind

Council,

As per the following from the procedural bylaw:

"15.13 If a motion succeeds, a Councillor may introduce a motion calling on Council to Rescind the motion or amend a motion previously adopted provided that the Councillor sets out in writing what special or exceptional circumstances warrant further debate"

I believe that the information brought forward by Administration on the April 6, 2021 Regular Meeting of Council agenda to support agenda action item #4 - Rescind Council Motion MD- 2050 (In-fill Policy) contains substantive new information and potential alternate courses of action that didn’t form part of Council’s discussion and debate when the motion was passed. I believe the availability of these additional options and new information constitute an exceptional circumstance and are substantial enough to warrant further debate.

For this reason I am requesting that Rescind Council Motion MD-2050 (In-fill Policy) be brought to Council as an action item at the Regular Meeting of Council on May 4, 2021.

Albert Ostashek Councillor Town of Hinton | Gateway to the Rockies

DATE: Regular Meeting of Council May 4, 2021

FROM: Emily Olsen, Interim Chief Administrative Officer

RE: TAX RATE BYLAW #1155 AND SUPPLEMENTARY BYLAW #1156

Recommended Action

That Council give First reading of Tax Rate Bylaw #1155, That Council give Second reading of Tax Rate Bylaw #1155, That Council give unanimous consent for Third reading of Tax Rate Bylaw #1155, and That Council gives Third reading of Tax Rate #1155.

That Council give First reading of Supplementary Assessments Bylaw #1156, That Council give Second reading of Supplementary Assessments Bylaw #1156, That Council give unanimous consent for Third reading of Supplementary Assessments Bylaw #1156, and That Council gives Third reading of Supplementary Assessments Bylaw #1156.

Background

Tax Rate Bylaw #1155 (Attachment #1) The Tax Rate bylaw is an annual legislative requirement of the MGA. The Tax Bylaw outlines the property tax rates that are required to levy sufficient funds to support the Municipalities annual operating Budget and collect on behalf of the Province of Alberta the requisitions for the Provincial Education Tax and the Senior’s Housing Tax. The property tax rates of the municipality are comprised of three components: The Municipal component, the Provincial Education Tax component, and the Senior’s Housing component. The Municipality influences only the Municipal component and the Province of Alberta and the Senior’s Housing Authority maintain control over the requisitions. The Municipality is simply charged with collecting levies on behalf of those agencies.

Council is reminded that the timely passing of the Tax Rate bylaw is paramount in ensuring that the taxpayers of the Municipality are provided with their tax notices in a timely manner. Delays in approving the Tax Rate bylaw will affect the timeline of tax notice, tax deadlines, tax penalties, tax collection, assessment complaints and tax recovery.

Supplementary Assessments Bylaw #1156(Attachment #2) The Supplementary Tax bylaw is an annual legislative requirement of the MGA if the Municipality wishes to levy taxation on development and improvements completed during the tax year. The bylaw authorizes the municipality to conduct a supplementary assessment of these properties and subsequently tax these new assessments. The full authorities and requirements of Supplemental Assessment and Taxation are outlined in sections 313 to 316.1 of the MGA.

Written by: Robert Osmond, Strategic Financial Support Page 71 of 120 Page 2 of 7

Although the decision to continue with supplementary taxation is reviewed annually by Council, a decision to forego supplementary taxation in any given year can create a public perception of inequitable application of taxation. Also, Council is reminded that the decision on supplemental taxation made today cannot be reviewed until 2022.

Analysis

Tax Rate Bylaw

The 2021 Operating Budget was approved with a revenue requirement of $12,873,022 from general municipal taxation. The requisition for the educational property tax from the Province of Alberta is $4,777,752 and the requisition for senior’s housing from the Evergreens Foundation is $829,330.71 (comprising of both an operational and capital component).

The 2021 Operating Budget revenue requirement of $12,873,022 represents a 0.98% decrease from 2020. At the time of the budget, it was forecasted that this reduction in the overall revenue requirement could translate to an approximate 1% decrease in the municipal component on the tax rate. Following budget deliberations, the assessment values were finalized at a 1.82% decrease. The decrease affected the projected tax rates as the revenue from the budget needed to be collected from a smaller pool of assessments.

Council was also presented with projections of the total and municipal impacts of the budget on average residential and average commercial properties (bottom line projections). The projection for an average residential property to see a $17 or 0.9% decrease and an average non-residential property to see a $497 or 4.7% decrease in the Municipal component remain consistent.

As a result of updated Education requisitions and over/under levies, the total property tax projections have shifted from an average residential property seeing an increase of $69 or 2.4% and an average non-residential property an increase of $629 or 4.4% to, an average residential property seeing an increase of $177 or 6.1% and an average non-residential property to seeing increase of $435 or 3.0%. It is, however, important to note the decrease in assessment will not be uniform across all property classes or even individual properties, resulting in some properties seeing these average changes to their municipal component, while others will be outliers to this average.

In 2021, the municipality will collect from the residential tax base and the non-residential tax base 48% and 52% of the total municipal taxes collected, respectively.

Municipal Levy The Municipal Levy is the only portion of the tax bill over which Council has control. This component is derived by calculating the rates which will generate from the property assessment sufficient revenue to support the Operating Budget’s revenue requirement. For 2021, the municipal levy for residential properties is calculated at 5.4578 mills (this represents the number of dollars for every $1000 of assessment) and 9.2782 mills for non-residential properties an increase of 0.85% in both classes. The principal difference between these numbers and those calculated at the time of budget approval is the decrease in assessment that was report following that discussion.

Education Property Tax Levy The Educational Property Tax Levy is collected on behalf of the Province of Alberta. The Town does not have any ability control or an opportunity to participate in the setting of this requisition. This component is derived by calculating the rates which will generate from the sufficient revenue to the requisition (net of any over/under levy from the previous year) demanded by the Province. For 2021, the education property tax levy for residential properties is calculated at 3.0588 mills (this represents the number of dollars for every $1000 of assessment) and 3.8078 mills for non-residential properties creating increases of 24.11% and 36.93% respectively.

In 2020, following the approval of the tax rate bylaws and mailing of tax notices in most municipalities the Province amended the requisition with a significant increase of approximately 10% in Hinton. As a result of COVID-19 these plans were spread over 2020 and 2021; however, as the changes came after the 2020 tax bylaw was passed in Hinton the full 10% impact is being realized in 2021. The difference between the 10% increase in the requisition and the 24.11% and 36.93% in the rates is a result of difference between the equalized assessment on which the requisition is prepared and the actual municipal assessment.

The AUMA website (link provided under attachments) under Equalized Assessments provides the following description, “Equalized assessment is a process to audit and adjust the assessment data that each municipality reports to the province in order to reach a level of fairness in assessment amongst municipalities. Equalized assessment data is used by the province to determine requisitions for regional or provincial programs (e.g. education property tax) or the allocation of grants to municipalities.”

The increase seen in the amount of the Educational Property Tax requisition is not uniform across municipalities in the Province, the amount of the overall Provincial requisition is in fact being held at 2019 levels. The 2021 Education Property Tax Requisition Comparison Report attached to this report for information shows that the year over year change varied from -23% to 18%. The changes are a result in shifts in the equalized assessment used to calculate the requisition. Changes in assessment in all municipalities as well as the equalization process delivers requisitions that the Province feels are equitable although not equal. To highlight the issue for period of 2019 to 2021, the Town saw a 1.49% decrease in assessment ($25,906,700) over the same period the Town’s equalized assessment increased 7.70% ($137,316,475). This is the primary difference that caused the education requisition to increase $431,562 or 9.93% for 2021.

Evergreens Foundation Levy The Senior’s Housing Levy is collected on behalf of the Evergreens Foundation, the local Senior’s Housing Authority. The Evergreen Foundation is a regional body serving Edson, Greenview M.D., Hinton, Jasper, Parkland County, and Yellowhead County. The Town does not have an ability directly control this requisition although the Town is represented on the Evergreens Foundation’s Board. This component is derived by calculating the rates which will generate from the sufficient revenue to the requisition (net of any over/under levy from the previous year) required by the Authority. For 2021, the senior’s housing levy is calculated at 0.4368 mills (this represents the number of dollars for every $1000 of assessment) an increase of 4.24% from 2020.

Designated Industrial (DI) Property Tax Requisition The Province of Alberta is responsible for the assessment of Designated Industrial property. The cost of this program is recovered through a requisition paid by the DI property assessed properties and is remitted to the Province. For 2021, the Designated Industrial levy is calculated at 0.0774 mills (this represents the number of dollars for every $1000 of assessment) an increase of 1.84% from 2020.

Supplementary Taxation Bylaw

There are two components to this Bylaw: • The first component authorizes the Town to perform an assessment on new improvements completed, occupied, or used during the 2021 tax year. • The second component authorizes the properties listed on the supplementary assessment roll to be taxed at the rate established in the current year’s tax bylaw.

Implications of Decision

Financial Implications – This decision provides the legislative tools to raise the funds previously approved by Council with the 2021 Operating Budget. Additionally, this decision provides the legislative tools to levy funds sufficient to cover the requisitions made of the Town of Hinton.

Level of Service Implications – The tax rate bylaw follows through on the service level discussions that form the budget deliberations. This bylaw does not establish, modify or eliminate services levels which have previously been established, modified or eliminated in Council’s approval of the budget.

Public Engagement – Although public engagement plays a significant role in budgeting, it is not typically a part of tax rate setting as discussed above.

Communications – Administration will ensure the tax rates and impacts contemplated in these bylaws are communicated to the public through standard communication channels.

Risk / Liability - The approval of the tax rate bylaw and supplementary tax bylaw in municipalities that levy a supplementary tax are required action in the MGA. Failure to pass a tax rate bylaw to support the approved budget would leave the Town unable to support the programs and services outlined in the budget.

Legislative Implications Conforms with: Yes/No/ Comments Partial Council’s Strategic Plan Yes Economic Strength, Infrastructure – Preservation & Growth Community Sustainability Yes Governance - Provides fiscally responsible & accountable Plan leadership. Ensuring programs & services support the needs of the community. Municipal Policies or Yes In accordance with the Municipal Government Act (313), Bylaws (353) Provincial Laws or MGA Yes Section 242(1), 245, 313 Municipal Government Act Other plans or policies Partial Taxes are the largest revenue stream to maintain town programs and services and invest in infrastructure and civic facilities.

☐ DIRECTION REQUEST ☒ REQUEST FOR DECISION ☐ INFORMATION ITEM

DATE: Council Meeting of May 4, 2021

PRESENTED BY: Emily Olsen, Chief Administrative Officer

RE: COVID-19 BUSINESS RESILIENCE SUPPORT PROGRAM REPORT

Recommended Action

That Council approve the COVID-19 Business Resilience Support Program of $100,000 for a local business goods and services program funded by the Emergency Operations Reserve, with the grant criteria and eligibility as presented.

That Council approve the Town of Hinton entering into an agreement with Community Futures West Yellowhead to administer the COVID-19 Business Resilience Support Program.

Background

At the April 20, 2021 Standing Committee Meeting, Committee directed administration to take the following action for the COVID-19 Business Resilience Support Program: • Include retro-active support for the COVID-19 Resilience Support Program to April 1, 2021; • Cap the grant amount to $750.00 per business; • Limit program support to businesses that were operating at any point prior to March 2020 and maintain a business license through 2020-and 2021; and • Create a mandatory review for the program prior to November 15, 2021.

The report presented to Council covered research that Administration and the Chamber of Commerce had completed into the types of programs seen in other communities. This information can be referenced through the April 20, 2021 COVID-19 Business Resilience Support Program Direction Request report. https://www.hinton.ca/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/4200

Further to the $100,000 COVID -19 Business Resilience Support Program Council received information on a Collaborative Marketing Program of $30,000 that would promote local businesses working in partnership of three or more partners to promote their businesses. Each business involved in the partnership would receive up to $500, providing a minimum of $1500 towards marketing activities. This program would reach a maximum of $5000 or 10 businesses. Funds could be provided upon approval of the marketing activities, with 50% provided up front, and 50% provided upon substantiation of the purchases (receipt, or email confirmation).

Committee did not provide direction to pursue the Collaborative marketing Program during the April 20, 2021 Standing Committee Meeting; however, a decision on the program could be considered in the future.

The world has faced economic hardships since March 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19. The impact on the Town of Hinton businesses has been recognized by the Town Council, Administration and the Town of Hinton’s business support organizations.

In the past year much has been done to understand and support residents and businesses across the province and the country during COVID-19. The Federal and Provincial governments have provided grants, loans and other supports to address the impacts of the pandemic.

The Town of Hinton has provided relief to residents and business in the community through tax and utility deferral of payment and penalties to August 31, 2020. The Town and the business support organizations have also reached out through surveys and business visits to understand and support the community.

In an effort to identify potential programming support to local business, the Hinton and District Chamber of Commerce and Town of Hinton Economic Development Staff have complied research on the needs of businesses and programs and services that have been offered to the business communities across Alberta.

In late 2020, the Town of Hinton received funds through the Municipal Operating Support Transfer or MOST grant. These funds were used to offset the impacts of COVID-19 in 2020 and created a surplus that was transferred into the Emergency Operating Reserve. Through the 2021 Budget process, Council made motions to utilize $500,000 of the $700,000 available to reduce the tax rate over the next three years. As well, approximately $30,800 was used to increase the funding provided to the Chamber of Commerce through the agreement with the Town.

Funds that are currently available in the Emergency Operations reserve come to approximately $169,060. Additional funds from the subsequent surplus determined through 2020 year-end financials can be moved into this reserve at a later date to support local business programs included in this report should oversubscription occur, as well as be earmarked for resident support initiatives that include Recreation Centre rate reduction, and other programs that have not been discussed by Council at this time. More information on the use of the additional 2020 surplus is being prepared for May, to accompany the year-to-date financials for 2021, and will be fully confirmed through the 2020 audit planned for completion in June.

Analysis

Since the COVID-19 Resilience Support Program report was received by Council, Community Futures West Yellowhead (CFWY) has reached out to provide an overview of the administrative support that they can provide to the program. Throughout the pandemic, CFWY has administered grants on behalf of other local municipalities in the region as well as the Federal Government.

Through discussion with CFWY, prompted by Nancy Robbins, General Manager, some key considerations were brought forward that amend the program criteria from the report Council previously received. Please see Attachment 1 for the package prepared by Ms. Robbins and her team to support the program.

The COVID-19 Resilience Support program of $100,000 would see individual local businesses receiving up to $750.00 for approved goods and services. The intention of the program would be to be flexible and understanding of the needs of Hinton’s business community, allowing approval for items that may not be explicitly expressed in the list of options. With this in mind, a move away from a voucher program that sees a reimbursement of expenses, toward a grant program, where the funds are applied for through an application process was determined.

Page 101 of 120 Page 3 of 5

Some businesses may not have the cashflow to front the amounts needed to utilize the program. The grant program would provide up to $750 through an application process that requires financial statements to be provided, as well as information on CRA debts, insolvency or bankruptcy. Businesses must also have less than $5 million in gross annual revenue to be eligible. Applicants will apply through the CFWY loan portal with submissions being processed in the order completed applications are received.

Eligible businesses: • Businesses located in Hinton who have experienced an impact to their operations due to COVID- 19 on or after March 17, 2020. • Businesses who have a 2021 business license and were operational prior to March 1, 2020. • Business must provide up to date financial statements and disclose any outstanding arrears to CRA in the last 24 months. Clients with outstanding CRA debts or those that are subject to insolvency and/or bankruptcy are not eligible. • Business must have a gross annual revenue of less than $5 Million Dollars annually. • Businesses must be considered viable based on submission of financial statements. • Business must employ not less than two (2) employees as of March 1, 2020, unless the business in question maintains a physical place of business separate from their residence. • Business must not employ more than 40 employees.

Note: In the direction from Committee on April 20, 2021, the program was directed to open to all businesses after 60 days. Some of the additional eligibility for businesses should not be expanded, including the requirements of business licenses, financial statements, and gross revenue. The expansion will require additional administrative work through CFWY, including an update to the application form, requiring additional budget to amend the information in the portal. Administration’s recommendation is to create one set of criteria for eligible business to use for the length of the first intake.

Community Futures West Yellowhead will create an application form requiring basic contact information, financial information, operational information such business type, size, and number of employees etc. The application will include details of the funding request.

Below is an overview supported by CFWY of the eligible and ineligible expenses considered for the program, that include the criteria that Council has approved.

Eligible expense: • Business innovations such as technology, website development and or changes to the businesses model that relate to increasing revenue stream. • Costs supporting changes to business models related to pivoting day to day operations. • Expenses related to business retention. • Any expenses that improve revenue and viability over the next three years. • Any costs associated with increasing online shopping or curbside pick up. • Training expenses related to expanding business models.

Ineligible Expenses: • Salaries • Rent, leasehold improvements or commercial mortgage payments • Expenses covered by other Federal programs related to COVID-19. • Expenses covered under Government of Alberta COVID-19 grant programs.

Page 102 of 120 Page 4 of 5

To engage CFWY as grant administrator, the Town can enter into a legal agreement to transfer the program authority and the funds to CFWY to administer, that includes a 5% administrative fee per grant. The fee and other expenses, including the portal set-up costs, and any legal costs to develop the agreement, would be covered with the Emergency Operating Reserve funds, leaving the grant amount intact at $100,000. The decisions on grant eligibility and application completeness would be that of CFWY, and no detailed information on recipients or individual amounts would be provided, as per the CFWY practice through other similar programs.

Risk / Liability o A risk of oversubscription of this program due to broad uses for the support program funds may create a delay in continuation of the program, should a report be required to come to Council for allocation of additional funds. o The way to mitigate this risk would be to limit the uses of the support program, or request that a component of the funding be used for education, training, or speaker series attendance. The ability to use the funds to manage municipal bills such as taxes or utilities may also increase the subscription of this program.

☐ DIRECTION REQUEST ☒ REQUEST FOR DECISION ☐ INFORMATION ITEM

DATE: Regular Meeting of Council May 04, 2021

FROM: Emily Olsen, Chief Administrative Officer

RE: HINTON GOLF COURSE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES

Recommended Action

That Council direct Administration to undertake an Expression of Interest (EOI) process, that upholds the availability of golf in Hinton as a requisite component of the EOI.

Background

At the April 20, 2021 Standing Committee Council provided direction to Administration to bring back a Request for Decision (RFD) for an EOI process to be undertaken.

Furthermore, on November 10, 2020, Council directed Administration to bring back a report outlining options for the land consolidation of the Hinton Golf Course to a Standing Committee before the end of Q2 2021. As well, Council directed Administration to present options regarding any potential economic development opportunities involving the Hinton Golf Course to be brought forward in the same timeframe.

Currently the Hinton Golf Course is operated by the Hinton Golfing Society. Previous motions have requested that Administration investigate options that could enhance the golf course’s viability, harness its potential to generate economic spin-offs, while balancing such best model/s to keep it affordable for local golfers.

Council directed Administration through the following motions:

That Council direct Administration to bring back a report outlining options for land consolidation at the Hinton Golf Course to a Standing Committee Meeting before the end of Q2, 2021. (MD - 2112)

That Council direct Administration to present options regarding any potential economic development opportunities involving the Hinton Golf Course. (MD -2113)

As Council is aware, there are complexities with current land holding configurations with the current Hinton Golf Course, that may or may not pose impacts to a change in operations, ownership to the Golf Course. Administration continues to research the options and processes for land consolidation; however, depending on the interest of the private sector, and on Council’s interest in receiving submissions from interested parties, or on continuing with status quo operations of the golf course, these impacts may not influence current or future opportunities for the course.

The golf course lands are made up of several parcels of land owned by the Town, the Crown, and Qualico. The golf fairways cross over property lines in several cases specifically with holes 1, 3, 4, 9,

Written by: Scott Kovatch, Economic Development Officer Page 111 of 120 Page 2 of 6 and 17. The Town owns the land containing the clubhouse, parking lot, maintenance infrastructure, putting and chipping practice areas, part of the driving range, and holes 10 through 18. The Qualico lands contain holes 1, 2 and 3 and are utilized under agreement.

The Crown land contains the driving range and holes 3 through 9 and hole 17. These lands are utilized under a lease for a golf course (DML840187) which expires in 2025. No commercial uses aside from those that support golf course operations are considered under the existing lease.

The land holding and the financial aspects pertaining to the golf course current and future needs will be brought forward in a subsequent report on the land consolidation prior to the end of Q2. The results of a potential EOI process can also provide areas of focus for research and information gathering. The variables will be best defined and dealt with once Council has clearly outlined their vision and intent as it pertains to the existing arrangement and future options for the golf course.

Analysis

The existing golf course is an asset of the Town and should be a catalyst through which tourism is promoted, serve as an economic driver for the region, with assurance that the course remains accessible to our local golfing enthusiasts.

Based on learnings through other communities, such as the City of Calgary’s approach to assessing options for their golf courses and assets, and to better define and articulate the Town of Hinton’s vision and aspiration for the Hinton golf course, Administration is recommending focussing on the economic potential for the golf course that Council consider and solicit Expressions of Interest (EOI) from private entities.

An Expression of Interest (EOI) process is used mainly when the requesting entity (in this case the Town of Hinton) does not have a clear enough vision and or concept that could assist in making the most informed decision regarding the current or future status of the asset. EOI’s can also be a useful conduit through which respondents will highlight potential options and technologies, opportunities that otherwise may not have been available to the Town, provide access to investment and capital initiatives, and expedite economic and tourism mandates.

The EOI process allows private investor options and submissions to be held in confidence with Council and allows for Council to conduct one-on-one conversations with proponents to seek out further clarity and or information based on their respective proposals. Council is not required to commit to any EOI proposal and has the flexibility to continue discussions with EOI proponents to elaborate on and enhance potential options.

An EOI process can include the two external options that are considered in this report, allowing potential investors or operators (including the Hinton Golfing Society) to participate in the process providing their information and ideas to Council. This is an inclusive approach that will provide Council information on the potential interests garnered from all interested parties. Should Council wish to understand the Town’s ability to operate the course, additional information could be provided when the EOI closes, and Council discusses next steps.

Council is motivated to ensure that potential EOI respondents are granted sufficient time to adequately prepare their respective EOI packages. Administration is endeavouring to assemble and release the EOI packages via online platforms during May 2021 and will ensure that sufficient time is given to allow proponents to assemble a responsive and inclusive package for Council’s consideration. The EOI submission and closing date will be earmarked for early August 2021 thereafter the proponent EOI content will be shared with Council at the August 31, 2021 Standing Committee meeting.

Page 112 of 120 Page 3 of 6

Administration has evaluated three (3) possible options for Council’s review and deliberation, that support the intention of continuing to offer access to local golfing amenities, as a partial or full course. These include:

1) Contracted out/Society run (current arrangement); 2) Town Owned and Operated; 3) Privatized Golf Course (sale of the asset) or a hybrid model approach

1) Contracted out/Society run (current arrangement)

The Hinton Golf Course has been operated through the Hinton Golfing Society for the 2020 season, and this arrangement will continue through the 2021 season, as per a one-year agreement with an end date of October 2021. Since the transfer of assets has been completed, the Town has reduced oversight of financial and operational considerations of the course, with parameters set through the contents of the agreement, such as utility and insurance requirements on the part of the Society.

A third-party operator of the property removes the Town from direct involvement of the asset, essentially leasing the business out, while the assets remain the Town’s property.

Benefits of operating the golf course through a third party:

• Residents and visitors to Hinton continue to have access to affordable golfing.

• The Town retains ownership of the Hinton Golf Course.

• The Town is not directly involved in the operation of the asset.

Challenges operating the golf course through a third party:

• Operational shortfalls may require Town support through taxation.

• Debt servicing continues the loan amount, approximately $158,000 per year through the Town operating budget.

2) Town Owned and Operated (Direct Management)

Should the Town elect to internally operate the golf course, an increased operational budget will be required that includes additional Town positions.

Benefits of a Town Owned and Operated golf course:

• The Town can set aside capital reserves for future capital improvements.

• The Town controls the green and membership fees thus keeping it affordable for local golfers.

• Keeping fees competitive attracts golfers to Hinton and creates an associated local economic positive impact.

Challenges of Town Owned and Operated golf course:

Page 113 of 120 Page 4 of 6

• Debt servicing continues the loan amount, approximately $158,000 per year through the Town operating budget.

• Opportunities to harness the golf course as an economic driver may be limited due to the level of capital required to improve and enhance capital initiatives that could support the golf course as an economic driver for the Town.

3) Privatized Golf Course or hybrid model approach

By privatizing (divesting) the golf course the Town would sell the course with its associated assets (at a predetermined market value) to a private entity who could own and operate the facility with an aim for profit.

If the Town elects to fully privatize the golf course, requisite inclusions to what the Town will consider can uphold the provision of golf in Hinton, while permitting commercial or tourism development on the lands. With ownership and operations managed through a private entity, an increase in tax revenue could be seen in the future, as well as an immediate reduction in what is currently allocated for in debenture payments on the Golf Society loan, of approximately $158,000 per year now included in the Town’s operating budget.

Benefits of Privatizing the golf course:

• Marketing efforts and budgets the private operator has at its disposal can ensure that a greater market reach is achieved, thus bringing about an economic spin off for the Town by driving and attracting visitors and champion events to the Town. • Private operators have greater access to capital finding to improve and increase revenue potential. • Private operators have experience staff and thus improving the golf experience for all visitors and users. • Private entities with demonstrated golf course operational experience is typically fiscally astute to ensure its financial success and sustainability. • Private operators have greater reach in areas of procuring innovation and enhance the golf experience to its users. • Hybrid operational and ownership models could further enhance revenue generation that could optimize the membership and golf course use and add to an economic spin off for the Town. • Receive annual property tax income form the private operator.

Challenges of Privatizing the golf course: • The Town could lose control of green fees and cost of membership increases (this may be controlled through a well-crafted agreement). • If the agreement is not well thought through and crafted (the conditions), should the private operator default on its terms the Town could be held accountable to take back the asset.

Within the privatization model the Town could look at a hybrid model that may consist of one of the following:

Private Management: Where the municipality retains a third-party private management firm on a contract basis for an extended period (three years or more). In these cases, the third party and the municipality share revenues and costs, though often the third-party manager has revenue incentives built in.

Page 114 of 120 Page 5 of 6
