In the past the year-end variance report has been presented and council is given the opportunity to review, ask any questions and then asked to approve the report as presented. This year’s variance report is no different, but in line with the Reserve Policy administration is requesting consideration of several recommendations that will require council resolution. DECISION OPTIONS: #1 – Approve the variance report and recommendations as presented. #2 – Approve the variance report as presented but amend the recommendations per council direction. #3 – Refer to the finance committee for further consideration/recommendations. Statement of Operations The statement of operations for the year ended shows a good overall picture of revenues and expenses. Revenues were mostly as expected – some areas were slightly over and some slightly under. Because year-end work has not been completed there are some missing numbers, several journal entries are still required, and the MOST funding has not been entered which will increase the revenues shown. Expenses for the year were mostly under. There were of course a couple areas over budget, but these will be explained in further detail in the departmental budgets. As with the note regarding revenues there may still be some expenses that need to be entered in by journal entry and so totals will be adjusted and look different once the final audited statements are presented. The capital, debt and reserve line items do not reflect an accurate picture at this point as not all journal entries have been made. Capital 2020 was quite a productive year in terms of capital projects with lots getting done and getting done on budget. At this point there is only one project that is being carried forward into 2021. The attached schedule is somewhat misleading as a lot of the journal entries are still needed to complete the schedule. Below is a straightforward listing of the projects showing actuals compared to budget. The manhole project did not proceed, the IT (server project) was not needed, no fire equipment was purchased, and the northbound rest area project did not go ahead while the water plant updates are still in progress. Money not spent is either MSI, GTF or from reserves and can be used for future projects – no tax dollars were collected for the projects not done. Project Budget Actual Westview Lift II $300,000 $331,576.60 Valves & Hydrants $150,000 $70,913.58 Manhole Replacement $75,000 $0 Equipment replacement $50,000 $51,016.00 Fire equipment $25,000 $0 THRC (includes LED, Solar array, cladding, pool deck, condenser, pool boiler and washroom projects) $654,160 $629,425.14 Sidewalks $50,000 $25,944.75 Roads $75,000 $66,071.15 Water plant updates (in progress) $120,000 $49,406.80 Road safety projects $25,000 $13,164.95 IT (Server) $25,000 $0 Streetlight updates $15,000 $13,201.34 Westview park updates $30,000 $31,971.51 Scout Hall upgrades $12,000 $12,145.65 Northbound rest area $50,000 $0 Totals $1,656,160.00 $1,294,836.47 Legislative The legislative budget in 2020 ended well under budget. Because of the pandemic council travel and training was underutilized. The one item showing over budget was the grants to individuals and organizations – $8000 of this was for the Community Center and there is MOST funds that covered this.

Email [email protected] Pro Rodeo Canada May 11, 2015 For immediate release © Bouchard Back to Back It only stands to reason. A crane operator is now looking down from the top of Canadian tie-down roping standings. “To tell you the truth, I wasn’t really prepared for the start of the season,” admitted Al Bouchard after winning the Stavely Indoor Pro Rodeo this past weekend. “I was sitting in school for five weeks and now I’m trying to catch up on things at home. I’m not in the best of shape yet.” Bouchard was busy getting his Crane and Hoisting Equipment Operator’s ticket at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in Edmonton while other ropers were in the practice pen preparing for the season. But after putting together back-to-back wins on the Pro Rodeo Canada trail, it doesn’t seem the practice was necessary. “Well, I drew at the top of the pen,” suggested Bouchard when describing his 7.6-second winning run in Drayton Valley during the May 1-3 weekend. “When I backed in the box, I knew it was going to be like roping a high school rodeo calf. If you’re not 7 on him, you should hand in your card.” As for the Stavely win, an 8-second flat trip in last Thursday’s slack, it wasn’t quite that easy for the Scandia, AB cowboy.

The objective of the study is to compile existing groundwater information to paint a picture of what is currently known and to set the stage for what needs to be done in the near future. Recommendations are included in this report that will assist in understanding the resource and managing it for long term sustainable use. The OWC released Priorities for the Oldman Watershed: Promoting action to maintain and improve our watershed in January 2012 which outlines eight goals including one for groundwater. The OWC is developing an Integrated Watershed Management Plan for the Oldman River basin which will achieve the eight goals in the Priorities document. Goal five is “understand groundwater and how it interacts with surface water” which is followed by three objectives including one that states “research the availability and quality of groundwater and its interaction with surface water”. This study is a step towards meeting that objective.
