CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 2 MINUTES 2.1 Adoption of Council Meeting Minutes RES 21-02-12-19 MOVED BY Councillor Cherniawsky that Council for Yellowhead County adopts the January 22, 2019 Council Meeting minutes as presented. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 3 PUBLIC HEARINGS 4 SCHEDULED PRESENTATIONS 5 CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 5.1 Evansburg Water/Sewer Local Improvement Plan RFD - 1017 Council has included some initial funds in the 2019 budget to begin the Local Improvement Process for the next phase of the Evansburg water and sewer Page 1 of 4 Page 6 of 61 Council Meeting Minutes February 12, 2019 replacement program. The actual construction (if approved) would occur commencing in 2020. To begin this council lead initiative, a Local Improvement Plan must be prepared. The plan must describe the proposed local improvement, the parcels of land in respect to which a local improvement tax will be imposed, the person who will be liable to pay the local improvement tax and state how the tax is to be based. The Options before Council with respect to how the tax could be based include: 1)the assessment prepared in accordance with legislation, 2)each parcel of land, 3)each unit of frontage, or 4)each unit of area. In addition to the above, the plan must also state the estimated cost of the local improvement, time period in which the local improvement will be spread, and any other information the proponents of the local improvement consider necessary. Some initial background has the estimated costs of the project (water/sewer replacement and new pavement and sidewalks) at $4.4 million with $840,000 attributed to the 50/50 cost share between the County and the residents. As such, approximately $420,000 will be charged back via local improvement charges if the project does not get petitioned down by the residents. To complete the Local Improvement Plan, Administration needs to know Council's preferred option with respect to implementing the tax. The particular section of neighborhood being improved has a few lots of differing size/shape and as such, to avoid conflicts, utilizing the option of "unit of area" makes for a clean allocation of costs and it likely the fairest method to utilize. RES 22-02-12-19 MOVED BY Councillor Cherniawsky that Council for Yellowhead County supports utilizing "unit of Area" as the taxation method for the Evansburg Water/Sewer Local Improvement project.
