Equipment Replacement Program

Policy Number

PW-16

Policy Statement

Council recognizes that the overall equipment maintenance costs are directly tied to the timing for replacement of equipment to ensure that the most maintenance free productivity is achieved from all equipment. This being the case, it is essential that the timing for replacement of each piece of equipment corresponds with warranty periods or the shop's experienced knowledge on the amount of productive, low-maintenance life left on any particular piece of equipment.

Policy

This policy will allow Administration to replace equipment using all of the following guidelines: at Administration's discretion, with Council's approval, and on an annual basis. This would reduce the annual maintenance costs and the amount of downtime that takes place when a piece of equipment has been kept too long.

Equipment replacement schedule:

1. Emergency Service (CPO, Fire department etc.) Pick-ups up to and including two tons - 175,000 km or 10 years 2. Pick-ups up to and including two tons - 225,000 250,000 km or 10 years 3. Plow, Gravel Trucks - 8500 hrs/6 years 4. Motor Graders - 7500 hrs/5 years 5. Wheel Loaders - 7500 hrs/5 years 6. Crawler Tractors, Soil Compactors - 7500 hrs 7. Excavator, (Gradall}- 7500 hrs/10 years 8. Agriculture Tractor - 5000 hrs 9. Gravel Pups, Equipment Trailers -10 15 years 10. Skid Steers - 3,500 5000 hrs or 3 10 years

*Equipment with annual maintenance in excess of 25% of the unit’s current value, should be reviewed for replacement*

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION

SUBJECT: Roadside Spraying Program DATE TO COUNCIL: November 20, 2020 SUBMITTED BY: Dawnia McCann, Manager of Agricultural Services ENDORSED BY: REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO:

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council approve the proposed service delivery change to the roadside spraying program.

1. TOPIC DEFINED As per the following motion at the October 14, 2020 Agricultural Service Board meeting:

109/20 Moved by H. Hughes to direct Administration to recommend the draft 2021 Agricultural Services Budget to Council with amendments as discussed. IN FAVOUR: D. Movald D. Ekstrom H. Swan A. Goddard K. Westerlund H. Hughes OPPOSED: A. Heinrich CARRIED

The draft Agricultural Services department budget, includes a proposed service level change to reduce 6303 Vegetation – 100 Salary, Wages, and Benefits and 511 Materials, Goods, and Supplies.

Administration has reviewed the current roadside spraying practices, and to improve efficiencies has removed one roadside sprayer position from the proposed operations budget. If approved, Administration would also remove one roadside spray truck from the fleet, to be disposed of according to policy.

6 Currently, the goal is to spray all county roadsides with a non-residual herbicide rate. This makes it very difficult to control species at the correct time of the season. For example, tall buttercup is best controlled in June, but thistle should be targeted in August.

Under the new roadside spraying program, the east and west sides of the County would get a comprehensive spray, on rotating years, with residual herbicide rates. This means that timing of control could be better managed based on the species being controlled. Using a residual rate would provide at minimum two years of broadleaf control. This does not mean that the other side of the County will not receive any weed control services. The side-by-side crew will still be available to spot spray any “flare ups” on the area not receiving a full right of way spray that year. This proposed service delivery change will align well with the principles of integrated vegetation management, which is the preferred system for vegetation management in North America.

Relevant Policy: AG-10 Vegetation Management

Strategic Relevance: Ensures responsible stewardship in our vegetation management program.

2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

That Council approve the proposed service delivery change to the roadside spraying program.

Advantages Disadvantages • Budgetary savings • May be perceived as a service delivery reduction • Reduced herbicide loading in the environment • Facilitates a better herbicide rotation to avoid weeds becoming resistant • Improved control of undesirable/legislated species

3. IMPLICATIONS OF RECOMMENDATION

Operational:

Removal of one temporary position.

Financial: Proposed savings of approximately $41,000 in the Agricultural Services Vegetation budget. Attachments: None

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION

SUBJECT: Agricultural Service Board Bursary DATE TO COUNCIL: November 20, 2020 SUBMITTED BY: Dawnia McCann, Manager of Agricultural Services ENDORSED BY: REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO:

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council approve an increase to the ASB Bursary budget from $1,000 to $2,000, and amend the policy to allow for four $500 bursaries or two $1000 bursaries, at the discretion of the Agricultural Service Board.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

At the October 14 Agricultural Service Board meeting, the board made the following motion:

107/20 Moved by D. Ekstrom to recommend to Council to increase the proposed ASB Bursary budget from $1,000 to $2m000. IN FAVOUR: D. Movald D. Ekstrom A. Goddard K. Westerlund H. Hughes OPPOSED: H. Swan A. Heinrich

CARRIED

As per the direction in the carried motion, Administration has made the adjustment accordingly to the proposed operational budget.

Relevant Policy: AG-28 ASB Youth Bursary

8 Strategic Relevance: N/A

2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION That Council approve an increase to the ASB Bursary budget from $1,000 to $2,000, and amend the policy to allow for four $500 bursaries or two $1,000 bursaries, at the discretion of the Agricultural Service Board. Advantages Disadvantages • Increased support of local people  None identified entering into the agricultural field at post-secondary institutions • Possibility of additional agricultural expertise added to Brazeau County in the future

3. IMPLICATIONS OF RECOMMENDATION

Operational:

None

Financial: Increase 02-63-01-771 – ASB Youth Bursary from $1,000 to $2,000 Attachments: None

9 BRAZEAU COUNTY UPDATE REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT: FCSS Operating Models

DATE TO COUNCIL: November 20, 2020

PREPARED BY: Lee Chambers, Director of Community Services

UPDATE INFORMATION:

Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is an 80/20 funding partnership between the Government of and participating municipalities or Metis Settlements to: • assess community needs and set priorities • support individuals, families, and communities through preventative social programs and services

Currently, we have an agreement from September 1998, to provide joint community and support services programs in Drayton Valley and Breton. These agreements may be terminated upon mutual agreement or with 180 days’ notice to either party.

The funding breakdown for Drayton Valley and Breton is the following:

Provincial Funding $195,935.00 Municipal Funding $48,984.00 Total Funding $244,919.00 Drayton Valley $163,341.00 Breton $81,578.00

FCSS programs are tailored for the communities they serve and can be administered as grant funding to community groups and/or direct programming for the community. Drayton Valley and Breton have a hybrid model. Drayton Valley and District FCSS has a total annual budget of $484,589.89 providing approximately $130,000 in grant funding to community groups with the remaining funding used in direct programming and administration of the program. Breton has a total budget of $115,688 of which $10,000 is given out in grants. A breakdown of grant funding is attached for Council’s information from 2016-2019.

As per the direction of Council, Administration has reviewed other FCSS organizations in the province against the Drayton Valley and District FCSS. The goal is to get a sense of the budget requirements for

10 the different operating models, to ensure the maximum benefit to Brazeau County. A comparison was done against four other FCSS organizations, details are below: 2019 Actual Revenue Expense Wages vs Grants vs FCSS Name Total Grants to Org. Wages/Benefits Other Total Ttl Rev Ttl Rev FCSS $ 1,067,600.00 $ 884,300.00 $ 183,300.00 $ - $ 1,067,600.00 17% 83% County FCSS $ 473,768.75 $ 144,246.00 $ 298,738.00 $ 54,119.00 $ 497,103.00 63% 30% FCSS $ 1,127,489.00 $ 61,408.00 $ 779,127.00 $ 286,954.00 $ 1,127,489.00 69% 5% Clearwater Regional FCCS $ 815,214.00 $ 536,302.00 $ 193,000.00 $ 86,800.00 $ 816,102.00 24% 66% Drayton Valley & District FCSS $ 484,589.89 $ 130,090.00 $ 227,731.16 $ 126,768.73 $ 484,589.89 47% 27% Average 43% 46%

Yellowhead County, Clearwater County, and Drayton Valley provide grant programs and direct programming jointly with their neighbouring counterparts. As you can see by the table, their programs are very different due to the level of direct programming or the awarding of grants.

Rocky View County and Wetaskiwin County do not offer joint services with their urban counterparts. The difference between the two is that Rocky View County provides flow through grants to community organizations with little or no direct programming. The FCSS Act and Regulation outline the eligibility requirements for grant funding. A similar model to Rocky View County FCSS may not be viable in Brazeau County due to limited service groups located in the County.

Wetaskiwin County FCSS does more direct programming as opposed to grants. If this model were adopted in Brazeau County, we would need to look at increased programming staff. A sample budget based on Wetaskiwin’s distribution percentages is below:

Revenue Grants to Org. Wages/Benefits Other Total Expenses $163,341.00 $49,002.30 $102,904.83 $11,433.87 $163,341.00 The above scenario would mean a significant drop in service levels compared to the current joint offered FCSS budget of $484,589.89. Other things to keep in mind should Council provide direction to change the operating model of the Drayton Valley and District FCSS: • Potential for duplication of services o Town FCSS would only serve its residents and would not be available to County residents and vice versa • Potential for the disruption of services for current Town and County FCSS users o Brazeau County residents using the current FCCS services would be turned away. • Current services being utilized by County residents may not be available anymore, not without adding programming staff to the FCSS operating budget. o The current FCSS joint budget is $484,589.89 a separated Brazeau County program would only have a budget of $163,341.00 so a County run FCSS could not offer the same programming, without adding significant staff and funding. According to the

11 recent presentation made to Brazeau County Council by the FCSS Program Manager, in 2019 there were 31 direct in-house programs offered to children and youth, families, adults, seniors, community development, and homelessness. • FCSS contributions of $35,751.26 may need to be adjusted for the region • A new Board would need to be established • Minimal community groups based in the County who meet the grant eligibility

SUBJECT: TWP 495 (RR72 to RR73) Improvements

DATE TO COUNCIL: November 20, 2020

PREPARED BY: Lynden Fischer, Director, Public Works

UPDATE INFORMATION:

During the Budget Workshop on October 5, 2020, Council heard concerns from the residents regarding the condition of TWP 495 from RR72 to RR73. This portion was constructed with materials that haven’t provided the stability required for the road and the traffic that utilizes this section.

Administration has reviewed the road and determined a method to repair and stabilize it. There are two components that would improve the condition of the road.

To repair the existing issues, maintenance staff could remove the top layer of material on the road and bring in proper clay. In addition, Administration would also recommend adding a soil cement to ensure the stability of the road long term. This scope of work would cost approximately $125,000.

To further ensure the road remains in good condition, Administration would like to re-route the sewage haulers north along RR 73 half of a mile and enter the lagoon area from the west side. This option however would require Administration to contact private land owners to discuss acquiring the lands that already contain lease road access to our lagoon. This option would also remove the need to spend more than $500,000 to repair the slide on the current lagoon access road.

Re: Full Time Staff Person

As you are aware, we have made presentations to both Councils illustrating our need for a Full Time StaflF person for the Drayton Valley Museum. As you are also aware, our Society President, Pamela Schaub, will be leaving us in the near future. At that time,our need for a full time staff person becomes urgent and critical. When Pam leaves there will be none of our current members who are famiUar with or comfortable with doing the complete process of inputting the required information for accessioning of artifacts. So,in effect,this important and necessary part of the work at a museum comes to a halt at that time.

It is critical for this work to continue in our museum at this time. Without the continuation of this work,the preservation of our area's history comes to a halt. A full time staff person will enable this work to carry on and the person would also help plan and oversee the future development of the museum,search for grant funding for projects,solicit donors and support for the museum, supervise summer staff and a multitude of other duties for the museum.

We feel that a full time staff person, with sufficient experience and qualifications for our museum can be hired for around $ 50,000.00 per year plus benefits. We would ask you both to consider an increase in our annual operational funding from $ 25,000.00 to $ 50,000.00 in your 2021 budgets. The increased amount of $ 25,000.00 from each would be dedicated to the employment of a full time staff person for the museum.

Your favorable consideration of our request will be much appreciated. If you require any further information, please contact me.

Sincerely, ,

Charlie Miner,Secretary/Treasurer Drayton Valley and District Historical Society
