Target Decision Date: April 26, 2021

Submitted By: Clark McAskile, CAO

Reviewed By: Senior Administration

24 BACKGROUND

Overview:

The recent passing of Councillor Forest and the Duke of Edinburgh have highlighted the requirement for a Flag Lowering Policy for the Town of High Level. The current practice of the Town is for the Chief Administrative Officer to request Operations Staff lower the flag, usually following notification of the Province’s intent to do so, but also in reaction to local events or request.

The adoption of a flag lowering policy would allow for consistent implementation of practice.

Legislation and Policy:

Municipal Government Act

Title: Flag Lowering Policy Authority: Council Council Motion: Date: April xx, 2021 Rescinds: None

1. Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to establish when flags at the Town of High Level will be lowered to half-mast on flagpoles and to ensure the Town’s practice is exercised in a consistent and appropriate manner.

2. Scope

This policy shall apply to Town of High Level employees assigned the responsibility of raising or lowering a flag.

3. Statement

Flags are to be treated as important symbols; the act of half-masting is a strong visual statement to bestow an honour and express a collective sense of sorrow.

The Town of High Level’s Flag Lowering Policy is adapted to incorporate practices by the Alberta Protocol Office and Canadian Heritage.

4. Definitions

“Flag” shall mean the National Flag of Canada, the Provincial Flag of Alberta, and the Municipal Flag of the Town of High Level.

“Half-mast” shall mean the position of the Flag when flying at half-mast will depend on its size, the length of the mast, and its location. As a rule, the centre of the Flag should be exactly half way down the mast. When hoisted or lowered from the half-mast position, a flag should first be raised to the masthead.

5. Protocol

 The Town Council will approve the Municipal Flag of the Town of High Level. The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) will approve flags specific to Town departments.

 The National Flag of Canada and the Provincial Flag of Alberta will only be half-masted on those flagpoles fitted with halyards and pulleys. Page 1 of 3

Dear Jeri:

RE: Town of High Level Assessment Services Agreement (2017-2021) – Extension (2022-2026)

Thank you for the opportunity to provide an extension request to the Assessment Services Agreement.

Municipalities are experiencing unprecedented challenges at this time;

• The Covid 19 global pandemic • Economic pressures and industry downturns • Legislative changes and government policies

All of these factors contribute to a complex array of potential risks to the municipality’s assessment and tax base.

The sustainability of the assessment and tax base is vital. Therefore, AAG is committed to the role of Trusted Advisor and we believe in providing assurances to help mitigate these challenges.

AAG strives to deliver assessment services with updated safety measures and new internal processes in place. Navigating the road ahead will require that we leverage our innovation abilities, our experience and our intimate knowledge of the municipality built over many years. Below are some examples:

✓ A previously communicated Covid 19, Pandemic Management Plan ✓ Utilizing new technology for requests for information ✓ On-going discussions with Assessment Services Provincial Audit on developing best practices for dealing with the effects of Covid 19 on market values ✓ Supplying any information necessary for budgeting or forecasting

We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Town of High Level and to provide confidence to the rate payers, council, and administration, that the municipal assessments are being done in a consistent and defendable manner.

Pursuant to the Assessment Services Agreement between the Town of High Level and Accurate Assessment Group Ltd. the current contract expires December 31, 2022. As stated in Clause 22 we are requesting the Agreement be extended for an additional Five (5) years, being 2022 thru 2026.

Residential, Non-Residential, Farmland Assessment Re-Inspection Cycle Rate/ # of Year Non- x = Contract Total Residential Parcel Parcels Residential 2017 25% 100% 42.50 x 1,892 = $80,410.00 2018 25% 100% 43.00 x 1,889 = $81,227.00 2019 25% 100% 43.50 x 1,882 = $81,867.00 2020 25% 100% 44.00 x 1,882 = $82,808.00 2021 25% 100% 44.50 x 1,853 = $82,458.50 2022 25% 100% 44.50 x = 2023 25% 100% 45.00 x = 2024 25% 100% 45.50 x = 2025 25% 100% 46.00 x = 2026 25% 100% 46.50 x = 2027 - Optional 25% 100% 47.00 x = 2028 - Optional 25% 100% 47.50 x = 2029 - Optional 25% 100% 48.00 x = 2030 - Optional 25% 100% 48.50 x = 2031 - Optional 25% 100% 49.00 x =

As a gesture of our promising relationship, AAG will maintain the per parcel rate of $44.50 for the 2022 assessment year.

118 BACKGROUND

Overview:

The overall condition of the roadways and trails is declining and forming more potholes, deep cracks and overall surface failures. The past and current processes have been to hire contractors to fill the cracks with a water-based emulsion product, with 30% to 50% of the roads being completed each year. This filling process does not work well with larger cracks and takes an excessive amount of product to fill, and provides no aggregate in the voids. We are averaging between $20,000 to $35,000 on this service, and the overall return is marginal. Large and medium-sized potholes are filled with a Coldmix Asphalt Product and millings by our staff when they appear. This “throw and go “ process is usually done in the spring, and we often find our staff fixing the holes over and over. This combination of repairs and maintenance is marginally effective as a road repair strategy, but it is based on our current workforce and equipment we have on hand.

It is our intention to perform more work internally with the utilization of a Spray Patcher. The Spray Patcher operated as a two-person team. The unit would be connected to the sander truck supplying the aggregate to the patched infeed. A four-step process is used to complete pothole repairs. First, a blower uses compressed air to clean debris from the pothole and surrounding cracks. Second, the area is tacked with a hot asphalt emulsion to provide adhesion to the existing pavement. Next, the pothole is filled with a combination of the aggregate mix and the hot asphalt emulsion. Finally, a dry coat of aggregate is applied to prevent sticking to vehicle tires.

According to road repair specialists, using this method with the proper aggregate mix results in a 90 percent or greater compaction rate without a compactor. Staff won’t have to go and drive over it or roll it, to complete the patch. They can truly do their patch and drive to the next one.

Once a pothole has been repaired using spray patching, it is unlikely we will have to revisit it anytime soon, as the average lifespan of a spray patch repair is four to six years. The process is effective for shallow or deep pothole repairs, and repairs can be conducted year-round in temperatures as low as -18 C by utilizing heated asphalt material.

This method of road repair is not just a pothole repair technology, other applications include repairing and sealing of cracks and depressions (bird baths), sealing around catch basins and manholes and more. This additional work is completed using the crack filling attachment option.

Legislation and Policy: None

119 Financial: The capital cost for the project below does not include materials for the 2021 season. We are requesting this capital purchase to be funded by the 2021 Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI).

All consumable materials would be purchased through the existing 2021 operating budget.

Delivery time from the date of the order would be approximately 30 days.

120 2020 Capital Project #623 Hydro Excavator is budgeted for $700,000 to be funded from Utility Reserve ($560,000) and MSI ($140,000). This is an approved MSI Capital Project. There has been no funds costed to this project to date. 2020 Capital Project #623 can be re-allocated to be funded entirely from Utilities Reserves. The Durapatcher 2 Spray Patcher can be added to the 2021 MSI Capital Project List to be fully funded by the MSI freed from the Hydro Excavator Project.

Alternately, this item could be funded from the 2021 Operating Budget. Administration has been informed by ATCO Power 2021 that Operating Budget line item for Electric Franchise Fees (00-1-00-00-541) are forecasted to be $863,840, this item was budgeted as $730,000 based on 2019 actual, an increase of approximately $133,840 to the 2021 Operating Budget. The Durapatcher could be funded through this increase in revenues and the currently budgeted operating surplus.

Organizational: No additional staff is required, and season staff would be utilized for ongoing summer operations.

Comments: This capital purchase will significantly improve the level of service through enhanced road repair and low the contracted costs. The saved contractor costs would offset any additional material costs till the overall road and trail system have been brought up to a well-maintained condition.

Alternatives: 1. THAT Council add the Durapatcher 2 Spray Patcher to the 2021 Capital Projects Budget funded from Municipal Sustainability Fund. AND FURTHER THAT that the Hydro Excavator Capital Project #623 be funded from Utilities Reserves.

2. THAT Council add the Durapatcher 2 Spray Patcher to the 2021 Capital Projects Budget funded from Operating.

130 TOWN OF HIGH LEVEL Request for Decision

Issue: Refresh of the Mackenzie Crossroads Museum and Visitor Centre Logo

Recommendation:

THAT Council approve administration moving forward with a new 2021 “Logo Refresh” for the Mackenzie Crossroads Museum and Visitor Centre as a way to th commemorate the 30 anniversary of the building.

CAO Comments:

Target Decision Date: April 26, 2021

Submitted By: Kayla Wardley

Reviewed By: Ruth Rolfe, Jena Clarke

131 BACKGROUND

Overview: Bob Walter (First Mayor of High Level) had a dream to have a Museum and Visitor Centre in our community and worked to make it a reality. First steps for the Museum began in 1980 with the Grand Opening on August 24, 1991. A logo was designed for the museum prior to the opening, but unfortunately, administration was unable to find information on who designed the logo, at that time, and was presumably the Museum Committee. As a way to commemorate our 30th anniversary, we would like to hold a Logo “Refresh” contest. The importance of the original logo should stay intact, with the trees, wagon wheel, fencing and either moon or sun representing the theme of our museum – Fur Trade, Farming, History and Culture.

Administration feels we can use our current logo and develop it into a more vibrant logo that we can use moving forward. We would also like to have options by which we can incorporate color or keep black and white, depending on the designs submitted.

The process for how the contest will run has not been fully developed but will be fair and transparent for all making it fun and easy for locals to have their input and make this about our community.

To commemorate the 30th anniversary and new logo, we will work toward having our Visitor Information Guide complete and will purchase stickers with 30th anniversary on them.

INFORMATION FOR CORRESPONDENCE

RE: Update on Aeronautical Studies

Dear Mayor McAteer,

We hope that this letter finds you well during these busy and challenging times, and that you are achieving important progress on the significant issues and policy demands brought about by the current pandemic situation.

Today, I am reaching out to provide you with an update regarding some of the initiatives that NAV CANADA has been undertaking to assess the air navigation services it offers at a number of locations across the country. We have been very appreciative of the feedback received from elected officials on this topic and value the opportunity to provide this update while continuing to maintain open lines of communication.

Listening to Our Stakeholders

The Aeronautical Study process represents an important mechanism enabling NAV CANADA to assess what services are required to ensure safety and accessibility, as well as to make certain that customers are paying only for services that are truly needed. The cost of services that are in excess of those that are warranted are invariably passed on to operators who pay our service charges.

In this context, the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic added impetus for NAV CANADA to ensure that levels of service are appropriate at 29 locations across the country.

As part of our robust consultation, we have heard from many of our industry stakeholders, as well as community representatives, that they would prefer to see the sector stabilize to some extent before initiating larger scope service changes.

While the basis for our Aeronautical Studies is founded on a much busier traffic environment than what we are seeing today at most locations subject to a study, we are listening and paying close attention to this input from our stakeholders. The valuable input we have received indicates that a balanced approach is warranted as the industry navigates the ongoing pandemic.

Adjusting Course on Level of Service Changes

NAV CANADA has announced that it will maintain air traffic control service to Canadian communities, including Fort McMurray AB, Prince George BC, Regina SK, Saint-Jean QC, Sault Ste. Marie ON, Whitehorse YT and Windsor ON.

135

We are further committing that there will be no site closures at staffed air traffic control towers or flight service stations across the country at this time. In addition, the Company will suspend Aeronautical Studies currently underway related to remote or northern locations until further notice.

The Aeronautical Studies, which are still in progress, will consider other alternatives to safely streamline operations, including changes to hours of operation. Aeronautical studies that were related to hours of operation from the outset or that are related to Remote Aerodrome Advisory Services will also continue. Appendix A provides further information on the status of Aeronautical Studies.

Additional Aeronautical Studies required for safety and customer-supported operational efficiency reasons or those related to airspace enhancements and weather infrastructure, for example, will continue to proceed.

Moving Forward

In order to further support awareness and effective input from stakeholders, we intend to communicate Aeronautical Study findings through a Notice of Proposal process. This will allow stakeholders to make written representations in regard to specific recommendations, prior to submission of any studies to Transport Canada, over a 60-day period.

We know that many of our stakeholders are eager to hear the results of our studies and we thank you for your patience as we undertake additional assessment work necessary to adjust course. We anticipate undertaking the additional engagement activities later this spring.

Should you have any questions in regard to this update, please do not hesitate to reach out. We thank you for your understanding as we navigate current industry challenges, for the valuable input to date and we look forward to connecting further on this important topic in the near future.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Bagg Director, Stakeholder and Industry Relations NAV CANADA

From: Gord Burnell Sent: April 12, 2021 11:34 AM To: Crystal McAteer Cc: Rodney Schmidt Subject: Extension Agreement - ABHealth - Ground Ambulance

Hi Mayor Crystal, I hope all is well and you are staying safe with the madness of COVID.

ABHealth has sent out extension agreements to all EMS ground ambulance contractors in the province. Commencing April 1, 2021 and expiring August 31, 2022. This extension was granted to all EMS operators in the province with 0 (zero) increase in funding. Our base budget is still at 2012 monies as per the original contract.

It is Aeromedical’s goal and intention to continue providing ground EMS services if an RFP is put out for tender or if another extension is awarded. We have no plans to leave our community.

I will keep you and Rodney updated if we hear any more from ABHealth, which at this point they are not answering questions on the future of EMS in Alberta.

Thanks Mayor Crystal.

Stay safe

Sincerely,

Gord Burnell MM,CD, ACP Director

www.AlbertaNWSAR.ca 5 143 144 From: Dani Nadeau Sent: April 22, 2021 9:46 AM To: Clark McAskile Subject: Delivering Community Power

Dear Municipal Council,

On behalf of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, I would like to present to you our plan to reimagine our Post Office, called Delivering Community Power. Our campaign involves utilizing our publicly-owned Post Office infrastructure to offer new services throughout the 6,400+ locations in every corner of the country to create new community hubs while doing so in an environmentally sustainable way.

Some of the smaller and rural areas of the country have little to no access to essential services such as high-speed internet or a financial institution, yet a Post Office more than likely exists there. Rural residents are often forced spill into other communities in order to have access to the essential services that they require, and our Post Office can provide a solution to this through Postal Banking and Broadband internet services. Mail Carriers are already scattered throughout the communities and can provide check in services for the elderly and those with mobility issues so that they may spend more valuable time in their own homes. For larger urban centres, these services will allow for our public infrastructure to provide strong community hubs with these services at a fraction of the cost compared to what is currently offered. These are not new services either; in fact, many countries have a postal bank, and therefore a post office, that is profitable. For example, the Post Office in France made 1.1 billion euros in profit from their postal bank in 2017.

The Post Office owns the largest corporate fleet in all of Canada, which emits 70 kilotons of carbon each year. Imagine the Post Office changing that fleet to vehicles that have zero emissions, while the buildings are retrofitted to generate power through renewable energy and providing EV charging stations for not only the fleet, but for the public. Through Delivering Community Power, we envision this change happening along the lines of a just recovery to benefit all communities.

This can’t be done without you. Please join over 1,000 municipalities who have adopted resolutions in support of our plan. I have included in the email a copy of a resolution letter that may be adopted by your council, as well as a message from our National President Jan Simpson. I encourage you to have this discussion amongst your council, as your help in making this a success will be vital.

I would like to meet virtually with your council to discuss the campaign. If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me at any time by phone at (306)261-5445 or by email at [email protected].

In Solidarity, Dani Nadeau

Subject: Request for Support for Delivering Community Power

Dear Municipal Leaders,

In 2016, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, with a coalition of allies, launched Delivering Community Power – a visionary program for Canada Post to confront climate change, promote better access to expanded services, bring financial inclusion to unbanked and underbanked communities, and address other social inequalities – all by making the most of our existing public postal service network.

Today, while progress has been made on many of the initiatives in the vision, the situation has become more urgent. Effects of climate change are deadly and are affecting nearly every part of society all around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the need for a more equal, more resilient society that prioritizes the health of our must vulnerable neighbours and loved ones, before profit. We are relying more than ever on the internet to connect people and to do our business, but rural residents are getting second-class service.

The continuing decline of letters combined with a dramatic rise in parcels from e-commerce makes it plain to see: the postal service has to adapt to a new reality. This is a great opportunity to address multiple problems at once, with a valued public infrastructure that connects everyone in their own community.

Please consider proposing the attached resolution to have your municipality endorse the campaign for expanded services, financial viability, climate action, and – all through leveraging our public postal system. The time is now!

Thank you for your support!

Whereas there is an urgent need for banking services among the unbanked or underbanked, given that thousands of villages and rural municipalities do not have a bank branch and more than 900 municipalities have expressed their support for postal banking;

Whereas thousands of Canadians do not have access to affordable high-speed Internet, and the federal government has long promised to bridge the rural broadband gap;

Whereas urgent action is needed to establish a robust network of electric vehicle charging stations;

Whereas to achieve carbon-neutral targets by 2050, Canada Post must greatly accelerate the electrification of its fleet;

Whereas the extensive network of post offices in our communities can provide a wide range of services as community hubs;

Whereas Canada Post's letter carriers and RSMCs can check-in on vulnerable residents to help keep us in our homes longer as we age;

Whereas Canada Post must play its part for a more equitable post-pandemic recovery;

Whereas “The Way Forward for Canada Post,” the report of the 2016 federal public review of the postal service, recommended that Canada Post expand services and adapt its services to the changing needs of the public;

Whereas the Canadian Union of Postal Workers has advanced Delivering Community Power, a vision of the post-carbon digital-age postal service that address the above needs and more;

Be it resolved that endorse Delivering Community Power, and write to the Honourable Anita Anand, Minister for Public Services and Procurement, with its rationale and a copy of this resolution.
