BRAZEAU COUNTY UPDATE REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT: Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF) Information from Municipal Affairs

DATE TO COUNCIL: October 20, 2020

PREPARED BY: J. Whaley, CAO

UPDATE At the October 6, 2020 Council meeting Council request Administration INFORMATION: contact Municipal Affairs regarding approving the current ICF document. Administration spoke with the Manager of Intermunicipal Relation for Municipal Affairs who advised the following:  The ICF is a living document – every time an agreement is changed then the ICF has to be updated.  The original motion proposed for approval of the ICF is not recommended.  A clean and up to date document is the best solution.  That Municipal Affairs staff would be happy to have a virtual meeting with the Senior Planners from the Town and County jointly to assist in cleaning up the concerns raised by Brazeau County with the current draft ICF. Administration has reached out to the Town of Drayton Valley with the concerns raised by Council and will be scheduling a meeting shortly.

30 Appendix C Riverview Area Structure Plan

current or future Brazeau County residents that wish to live close to major commercial or social services and still maintain a semblance of rural living.

In terms of municipal servicing, these lots are considered a more efficient option for this area of Brazeau County than traditional country residential lots because when developed as multi-lot subdivisions they create a denser population base which allows municipal water and sanitary services to be supplied to these residents more effectively and affordably. With larger lots, these services would have to be extended much further to access a similar number of lots, which adds to higher servicing costs and exhausted servicing capabilities.

Brazeau County anticipates that market demands for future residential development in the plan area will continue to include Suburban Country Residential lots. This form of residential development can be used to infill underdeveloped portions of the plan area, or larger parcels of land that are currently undeveloped. Future lots developed in the plan area of this variety should continue to be connected to municipal water and sanitary services in order to advance the overall servicing concept for the plan area.

Policy 11: Brazeau County shall permit the development of Suburban Country Residential lots in the plan area where identified on the Future Land Use Concept.

Policy 12: Brazeau County shall encourage the development of Suburban Country Residential lots in underdeveloped portions of the plan area that can accommodate this form of infill development.

Policy 13: Brazeau County may require that all future Suburban Country Residential lots in the plan area be connected to municipal water and sanitary services.

Policy 14: Brazeau County shall require that access to future Suburban Country Residential lots be from internal subdivision roads only wherever possible.

5.5 Compact Country Residential Brazeau County has identified that the current range of housing options in the plan area is primarily single detatched dwellings with minimum lot sizes of 0.2 hectares or greater. While this form of residential living is attractive to many existing or future residents, Brazeau County recognizes that an opportunity exists to accommodate a wider range of residents in the plan area by encouraging the development of alternate forms of housing that promote a wider range of lifestyle opportunities.

Examples of these alternate forms of housing include semi-detached dwellings (duplexes), seniors housing, specialized care facilities, town houses and traditional single-detached dwellings on smaller lots. Many potential benefits exist for Brazeau County by accommodating these forms of housing in the plan area. First, by accommodating a range of housing types in the plan area, Brazeau County will be

16 31 Riverview Area Structure Plan

providing housing options for a greater assortment of existing and future County residents. Young, low-income or ‘new to here’ residents may be provided an opportunity to rent a smaller home or duplex unit, until such time as they are able to purchase a different form of housing within the plan area. Elderly residents or persons with specialized needs may chose to live in a specialized-care housing facility in the plan area, or live in a dwelling with a lot size that is more manageable for their abilities. By providing a wider array of housing types in the plan area, Brazeau County hopes to develop a neighbourhood that attracts residents at any stage of their life.

The second potential benefit for Brazeau County in permitting these forms of housing in the plan area is the reduced ecological footprint the County will be placing on the land. By allowing for higher density forms of living in the plan area, Brazeau County will be reducing the amount of land that would have been required to house these residents through traditional forms of residential developments. While the ecological impact on the plan area may potentially be greater, permitting these forms of housing may go a long way towards reducing land requirements for housing in other and more sensitive areas of Brazeau County and the wider region.

The third potential benefit for Brazeau County in permitting these forms of housing is in the effective delivery of municipal services and infrastructure such as roads, water and sanitary services, park sites and trail systems. By establishing a higher residential density in the plan area, Brazeau County will be able to extend these services to a greater number of residents than if the plan area consisted solely of traditional single- detatched dwellings. The overall cost of constructing, maintaining and delivering these services will be greatly reduced.

To accommodate these alternate forms of residential development, Brazeau County may need to permit the development of residential lots with a smaller minimum parcel area than is currently permitted in the plan area. Also, Brazeau County may need to extend the list of possible residential land uses permitted in the plan area to allow for the development of these forms of housing.

Future Compact Country Residential development in the Riverview area must be based on subdivision and building designs that compliment existing and planned developments and the natural environment, both in Brazeau County and the eastern portion of the Town of Drayton Valley. This form of development may be guided by architectural controls and siting requirements to ensure that future Compact County Residential development provides future residents and neighbours with high quality living opportunities and is of a scale and appearance that is appropriate for the Riverview area.

On the Future Land Use Concept of this plan the Compact Country Residential designation is included on the legend but is currently not applied to lands within the plan area. However, an area has been identified as Medium Residential and is zoned accordingly. Medium Residential allows for smaller more compact serviced lots and duplexes as a discretionary use.

17 32 Riverview Area Structure Plan

Brazeau County Council wishes to provide current and future landowners greater opportunity to increase the density and range of housing opportunities provided within the Riverview area by preparing an amendment to this plan to redesignate lands to Compact Country Residential. This will guarantee that local residents, stakeholders and referral agencies will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed amendment offer suggestions on how to best integrate a Compact Country Residential development with existing and proposed developments in the plan area.

Policy 15: Brazeau County shall permit the development of Medium Density Residential lots in the plan area where identified on the Future Land Use Concept.

Policy 16: Brazeau County shall amend the Brazeau County Land Use Bylaw to establish a land use district that permits the development of higher density forms of housing on lots smaller than is permitted in the Suburban Country Residential land use district. These forms of housing may include single-detached dwellings, semi-detached dwellings, seniors housing, specialized care facilities, town houses and traditional single-detached dwellings on lots with a minimum parcel area of 0.13 ha.

Policy 17: Brazeau County may permit the development of Compact Country Residential lots in portions of the plan area designated for Suburban Country Residential, as supported by an amendment to this plan.

Policy 18: Brazeau County shall require that all future Compact Country Residential lots in the plan area be connected to municipal water and/or sanitary services.

Policy 19: Brazeau County shall require that Compact Country Residential development in the Riverview Area be guided by architectural controls and siting requirements, to the satisfaction of the Development Authority.

Policy 20: Brazeau County shall require that access to future Compact Country Residential lots be from internal subdivision roads only wherever possible.

5.6 Commercial Currently, there are small nodes of commercial (and light industrial) development in the plan area. Most commercial development in Brazeau County is located along major highways, within the hamlets and urban municipalities, and inside existing business parks located west of the Town of Drayton Valley. Within the Riverview area of Brazeau County, commercial and light industrial development can be found near the south end of the plan area, immediately south of Township Road 490, and adjacent to the Town of Drayton Valley sewage lagoon, in the northern portion of the plan area.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION

SUBJECT: Mountain Pine Beetle Program DATE TO COUNCIL: October 20th, 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 creation of a Mountain Pine Beetle Program, contingent on approval of provincial grant funding.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

In 2006, the Government of Alberta (GOA) established the Municipal Grant Program in support of mountain pine beetle (MPB) control operation costs for municipalities. The program provides funding and expertise in the management of MPB on municipal and private lands. Activities eligible for funding are:  Development of the management plan.  Training for municipal staff and staff contracted for the beetle project on Agriculture and Forestry) (AF) ground survey and control techniques and standards and other directly applicable training needs.  Pine beetle ground surveys (e.g. Walk-through, concentric, transect)  Treatment of infested trees (e.g. milling, debarking, falling and burning, chipping, or peeling standing).  Communication, education and outreach efforts.  Quality control costs.  Project management costs (separate from reasonable municipal administrative costs and include project manager and/or other necessary project management staff).  Final report preparation.  Prevention (use of anti-aggregation chemicals may be approved on a case-by-case basis by the Provincial Pine Beetle Coordinator  Administrative costs to manage the grant (reasonable costs up to 8% of the total cost of the approved activities). Costs can include office assistance, photocopying, etc.  Cost of audit or verification done by an independent public accountant.

34 The grant proposal includes funds to hire contractors to perform ground surveys and treatment of infested trees. The proposed project would commence in early 2021 with work to be completed by June 30, 2021. With a successful MPB program, there is potential to continue work the following year, pending approval of a grant application for that year.

The grant is fully funded by Provincial monies and matching dollars are not required by the Municipalities.

Administration has received an increased number of reports of MPB within Brazeau County’s border in 2020, as well as contact from various stakeholders interested in the municipality participating in the MPB grant program. In preparation, Administration has drafted an application in order to meet the October 31st submission deadline.

Relevant Policy: N/A

Strategic Relevance: Supports the quality of life of our citizens. Supports the forestry industry in Brazeau County.

2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

That Council approve the creation of a Mountain Pine Beetle Program, contingent on approval of provincial grant funding. Advantages Disadvantages  The grant will enable Brazeau  None identified County to provide financial and technical assistance to landowners who have MPB infestations.  Control effort on municipal and private land will support the forestry sector’s sustainability in preventing the spread of the pest to valuable pine stands.  Control work will assist in protecting pine in natural spaces, shelterbelts and other areas.  Continued coordinated efforts with existing work carried out by AF on Crown Lands in the west portion of the County.

SUBJECT: Updated FIN-4 Policy DATE TO COUNCIL: October 20, 2020 SUBMITTED BY: C. Swap, General Manager of Finance ENDORSED BY: REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO:

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council review the FIN-4 Policy as presented and direct Administration on any additional changes.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

Executive Summary At its meeting on Oct. 6, Council was presented with an updated FIN-4 Policy. As directed on Oct. 6 Administration has made the change in wording directed by motion 0741/20-10-06 and brought the policy back for further review and direction by Council as directed by motion 0744/20-10-06. Based on the discussion at the previous meeting Administration has highlighted the current allocations of surplus funds set out in the policy and provided a summary table of the allocation for Council’s information. Finance has undertaken a thorough review of the County’s FIN-4 policy and identified significant changes that are required to bring the policy in line with current practices and economic realities. The policy was established at a time when Brazeau County was regularly seeing an annual surplus at the completion of year-end. The policy was a tool to direct those surplus funds to specific accounts for long-term planning goals. Brazeau County has not seen an annual surplus in a number of years, making portions of the policy out of step with the economic realities of the municipality. Many of the surplus accounts in the current policy also have set minimum and maximum dollar thresholds. This is not keeping with current practice. Administration has updated the policy to reflect current practices and provide more flexibility for Council, as well as updating the list of restricted reserve accounts to identify all current accounts. Proposed deletions to the policy are identified with a strikethrough in the attached draft policy, and proposed additions are identified in red.

Relevant Policy: FIN-4

49 Strategic Relevance: To ensure Brazeau County has up-to-date policies in line with current practices.

2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION That Council review the FIN-4 Policy as presented and direct Administration on any additional changes.

Advantages Disadvantages - Will include current list of restricted - No disadvantages identified to approving the reserve accounts updated policy - Removes items that are no longer current practice such as minimum and maximum account amounts - Changes reflect current practices and economic realities

Policy Statement

The purpose of this policy is to determine Brazeau County’s (the County) standing restricted surplus accounts (also referred to as ‘reserves’) and to define them as to their function, sources of income, and eligible expenditures. Future additions of new restricted surplus accounts will be incorporated and maintained in a similar fashion. Council may create new restricted surplus accounts by way of motion.

Policy

General Statement

1. All restricted surplus accounts will be established on an individual basis, although the funds in each account may be consolidated for investment purposes. An individual record of each account and the investment of funds in same shall be maintained.

The County’s restricted surplus accounts shall be completely funded: the County will not carry any unfunded restricted surplus accounts.

2. Investment of restricted surplus account funds shall be per the County’s Investment Policy (FIN-3). 3. Any interest earned on investment of restricted surplus account funds shall accrue within that restricted surplus account. 4. The County shall annually budget for a surplus not to exceed 5% of the total (capital and operating) expenditures in that year’s budget. The actual surplus funds accumulated at year’s end shall be dedicated to the restricted surplus accounts as determined in accordance with this policy. 5. 4.

BRAZEAU COUNTY UPDATE REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT: RR 52 North of TWP 492 Slide – Guardrail Installation Specifications

DATE TO COUNCIL: October 20, 2020

PREPARED BY: Zimran Khokhar, Project Manager, Public Works Lynden Fischer, Director, Public Works

UPDATE INFORMATION: On October 6, 2020 Council passed the following motion: 0756/20-10-06 – Moved by S. Wheale to direct Administration to investigate the guard rail installation on the RR 52 slide and report back to Council. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Administration has reviewed Alberta Transportation’s Highway Geometric Design Guide to see if installing a guardrail is warranted at the slide location of RR 52 North of TWP 492. Based on the Table (Appendix A), the known factors are the existing side slope being a 4:1 slope and the Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) being less than 750 vehicles per day, we are left to assume the design speed. Assuming a design speed of 90 Km/h would result in a clear zone of 5.5 meters. Assuming a design speed of 70-80 Km/h would result in a clear zone of 4.5 meters. A “clear zone” is defined as the border area starting at the edge of the travel lane that should be clear of hazards and available for use by errant vehicles. It also notes that the clear zone is a recovery area that “should be free of obstacles such as unyielding sign and luminaire supports, non-traversable drainage structures, utility poles and steep slopes”. Administration measured the clear zone at the slide area to be 6.4 meters, which is outside both the 5.5 meter or 4.5 meter assumptions. Administration engaged Thurber Engineering to conduct a preliminary site inspection when the issue was first identified. Thurber’s Geotechnical Engineer concluded, “Based on our preliminary site inspection, we do not expect that the RR 52 roadway is in imminent danger at the present time; however, we expect the landslide will continue to retrogress over time and may eventually impact the roadway.”

Attention Selection Committee:

We are pleased to write to you in support of the Community Futures Capital Region application to the Rural Opportunities fund. We are pleased to support YETI Expansion Project

The application displays the partnership with the intention to provide increased support to young entrepreneurs to grow and succeed and looks to improve the local business environment.

The goals of the Rural Opportunity Fund align with the mandate of Community Futures Capital Region in general and with priorities of our municipality. We see leveraging the Rural Opportunities Fund initiative as a wonderful opportunity to serve and develop the capacity for businesses in our community that are started and operated by our young people.

In particular, in respect to the pandemic, young people do not have as many of the typical options to generate income that a normal economic time would present. Entrepreneurship as a tool for income generation and retention in our community, continues to increase in its importance.

We thank you for your kind consideration and look forward to working with Community Futures on this project.

Sincerely,

Bart Guyon Reeve, Brazeau County

Mayor Michael Doerksen / Bart Guyon, Reeve and Councillors Town of Drayton Valley / Brazeau County

Honorable Mayor / Reeve and Councillors;

Re: Shangri-La LodRe Resident Safetv and Parking Lot Expansion

The Shangri-La Lodge is home to approximately 70-80 seniors providing seniors a quality of life that includes safety and security. The Shangri-La Lodge is surrounded by a large treed area which one part is owned by the Town of Drayton Valley and the other by Arc Resources. Recently, the Brazeau Foundation has seen an increase in criminal activity.

Over the years we have had numerous persons walking through our properties. Periodically, wanderers would come, stroll around the premises, steal cigarette butts from "outdoor smokers recepticals" or inspect the trash bins on the property for items. Normally, when informed they were on private property they would leave the premises without harassment. Recently the crimes in our area have increased substantially and wanderers have become more bold. They have stolen gas from vehicles, approached residents and asked for money and stolen and damaged Brazeau Foundation property. Our senior residents have become more fearful of going outside and enjoying time walking on the trails especially after the incidents at the Drayton Valley Christian School on September 3'^'^ and September 8^^ 2020 which is located near the proposed parking expansion. Local authorities have been contacted countless times by the Brazeau Foundation to investigate and patrol the area more closely to protect our seniors.

Over the years, the Brazeau Foundation, the Town of Drayton Valley and Arc Resources have had discussions to expand the Shangri-La Lodge Parking area. Unfortunately, nothing has come to fruition to this point regarding the expansion. The work for the parking would include increased lighting, continued road access in a circular pattern that would join with the current planned Fire Lane. At this time. The Brazeau Foundation has completed plans and funds set aside for the parking lot expansion with increased lighting and the connection to the existing pathway system. To get started on this project we require the Town of Drayton Valley and Arc Resources to come to an agreement on the Arc Resources parcel of land. Once an agreement has been made, the Brazeau Foundation will put this expansion out for tender.

iVe fruzctcce 68 The seniors who reside at the Shangri-La Lodge are well seniors. They truly enjoy spending time outdoors and going out for walks. The Town of Drayton Valley treed area has such great potential; additional walking trails, increased lighting, benches, some fencing, perhaps a gazebo and fountain would not only benefit everyone who live in the community but the seniors which reside next to this area. Other future uses could be cultural and/or art events held there. Developing the Town of Drayton Valley area, with the increased features, would connect our residents safeiy to many businesses, facilities, physicians, services, parks and the Farmers Market.

The completion of the proposed Shangri-La Lodge Parking Expansion by the Brazeau Foundation would create a more exposed and lit area, add increased supervision/ monitoring, increasing safety and accessibility to the seniors, the children of the Drayton Valley Christian School, erhplbyees offRe Brazeau Foundation and citizens who utilize the pathways.

Should the Town of Drayton Valley consider developing the treed area it would create viable work in the community and additionionally increase to the safety of our seniors, the children and families of the Town of Drayton Valley.

I look forward to an agreement between the Town of Drayton Valley and Arc Resources and further our discussions so we can get started on the proposed parking expansion project.

Sincerely, BRAZEAU FOUNDATION

Dear Bart;

Re: Dravton Vallev Health Services Foundation Annual Report

I regret the delay in presenting the Annual Report for the Drayton Valley Health Foundation for year ending March 31, 2019. Unfortunately COVID -19 has altered not only our private lives but also the business of the Health Foundation creating delays in getting our affairs taken care of.

The Annual Report was prepared under the Board's direction and the content of this report was approved at the September 29, 2020 board meeting.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you should have any questions or concerns.

Yours truly.

72 Message from the Chair

mmmm Drayton Valley Health Services Foundation continues to support the Drayton Valley Hospital and Care Centre, Breton Health Centre, and Community Health in raising dollars for various projects and equipment that is used to enhance patient care. Many of us welcomed 2020 with marked optimism, with the promise of a better economy which will give us the ability to plan and run few fundraising events to support our Foundation. But it was not too long before we felt the opposite. We have no choice but to tighten our belts and cancel many scheduled events like the Medieval Night due to the COVID-19 situation, however with the support of our board members and the community we continue to work through those tough times and make the best of this difficult situation. The Foundation is proud to support the various fundraising efforts of our Executive Director, Colleen Sekura, despite the difficult situation, we still managed to host and support many events such as:

•FIRST ANNUAL MEDIEVAL FEAST & Tournament •2019 DRAYTON VALLEY HORSE CLUB- •2019 TIM HORTONS SMILE COOKIE CAMPAIGN DV THUNDER/MR MIKES •WILLS & ESTATES SEMINAR

I would like to thank our dedicated team of Board members who donate their time and energies to serve their community on the Drayton Valley Health Foundation. Your support and enthusiasm is much appreciated. The Board would also like to give special recognition and a big thank you to our Executive Director, Colleen Sekura for her tireless fundraising efforts over the past years and her dedication to the Foundation. We could not be successful as a Foundation without the support of our Sponsors, Donors and Community. A very heartfelt thank you to all who so generously give of your time and dollars to help with the work of the Drayton Valley Health Services Foundation.

Donations to the Foundation will continue to "Build and Sustain a Healthy Community" in both the Drayton Valley and Breton areas. The Drayton Valley Health Foundation Board looks fonward to continuing working relationships with our local team of leaders, as well as Alberta Health Services.

Thank you, TOcueem

Chair

73 Message from the Executive Director

It is truly an honor and pleasure to act as the Executive Director for the Foundation. I take every opportunity to share information about our Foundation's mission, past contributions and current goals.

I look to forward to the upcoming year with enthusiasm and confidence that we can continue to accept donations as our economy and our community struggles through the challenges of COVID-19.

It is a pleasure to work for a board of directors that is so supportive, and I thank each one of you for your ongoing passion for this Foundation.

I extend my sincere appreciation to retiring board members, Nancy Jacobs and Robyn Fong. I have appreciated their expertise and wisdom in and away from the boardroom table.

Most of all I am thankful for the donors of the community who give so generously to the Foundation. I am continually humbled by those who support and benefit our community through their generosity. It is our donor's commitment to improving local health services that allows the Drayton Valley Health Services Foundation to assist in managing and allocating their donations. It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to experience and witness the many acts of generosity, human kindness and caring, day after day.

I look forward to ongoing efforts towards revitalization of the Foundation so that we can continue to play an integral part in supporting the highest quality of health care that our community has come to expect.

Sincerely,

CoUee^o/Sehurcu Executive Director

Dear Reeve Guyon:

Thank you for your August 27, 2020 letter regarding the intersection of Highway 22 and Township Road 494.

I understand your concerns regarding traffic at the intersection of Highway 22 and Township Road 494 during morning and afternoon peak times. In 2012, improvements at the intersection were completed as part of the development permit issued to the County. The recently completed 2019 paving project did not include intersection improvements, as there have been no operational concerns for the highway traffic. However, in light of your concerns, the department will continue to monitor this location to determine if further analysis is needed.

Should you have any questions, please contact Mr. Michael Botros, Regional Director. Mr. Botros can be reached toll-free at 310-0000, then 780-638-9419, or at [email protected].

Thank you for taking the time to write.

Sincerely,

Ric Mclver Minister

Dear Ms. Driessen:

It has come to our attention that the town of Drayton Valley is constructing a baseball diamond,adjacent to our bleachers at the Lions West Valley Park. We are disappointed that we were not consulted of this construction project. This impedes access to our bleachers and limits emergency access to any event going on down at the park,for numerous organizations. We would appreciate an explanation of why this happened without our knowledge. We would appreciate this explanation in person at one of our meetings. We have time at the October 21®* meeting or November 4*** meeting. We start our meetings promptly at 7pm at the Masonic Hall. Please let me know which date works for you.
