McCann provided a verbal review of the Agricultural Fieldman Report. Members inquired how Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB) moved to central Alberta. MPB can be transferred in the air through a jet stream or by infected firewood. As a County, we can chose how to respond to MPB, including education, providing replacement seedlings, attractant pouches (Verbenone), cutting, fire, etc. A program called #OperationReleaf: Mountain Pine Beetle is available to landowners affected by MPB. Deadline to apply is October 26. The attractant pouches (Verbenone) cost $10 each and are available from a private supplier. As a result of forest fires in tree stands in BC, more erosion is happening due to the immense heat of the fires affecting the soils. Working Well Workshop is set for November 29. The fall edition of The Seed will be available next week. Lac St. Anne County & Stettler County have both declared agricultural disasters. Lac St. Anne’s is due to the lack of ability to harvest, while Stettler’s is because of drought issues.

    TOWN OF PEACE RIVER Request for Decision To: Mayor & Council Date: August 19, 2020 Presenter: Christopher Parker, CAO Prepared By: R. McCuaig Topic: Proposed PREDA Membership Fee Change File No.: 64/111 Attachments: Rate Comparisons Issue Peace Regional Economic Development Alliance (PREDA) has passed a motion to make changes to their fee structure. The Town of Peace River has been invited to present a Special Resolution at the September 18, 2020 Annual General Meeting to propose an alternate fee structure. Background On July 27, 2020, Administration presented Council with PREDA’s proposed resolution and provided some suggested alternate models. Council’s decision was that PREDA consider additional funding options – instead of a singular per capita option – to be presented to the PREDA members to vote on. PREDA has since adopted a funding model of $.75 per capita. PREDA has invited the Town to propose alternate funding models via Special Resolution. Any proposed funding model must: 1. Be revenue neutral in that it must provide the budgeted funding level of the per capita model. This funding amount is currently $56,767.50. 2. Accommodate an agreed cap on contributions by the County of Grande Prairie. This cap is set at $17,000. Administration has prepared two alternate funding models which meet these requirements. Current Model The existing funding rate was based on anticipated funding from other levels of government. This funding has been reduced. The rank rating reflects the proportion of cost burden borne by that municipality. Current
