June YTD Financial Statements Attached are the June YTD financial statements. The summary statement indicates a positive variance of $108,836 for the first six months of 2020. 2. CP Rail Subdivision We are in the final stages for the completion of the land purchase and subdivision of this property. I have spoken to both parties regarding the purchase of a partial section of this new subdivision and both parties are interested in moving ahead. I have sent the registered Plan to CP Rail for their final approval and signatures, and just awaiting the return of the documentation. 3. Shovel Ready Project Attached is the official letter from the Honorable Ric McIver, Minister of Transportation relating to the $3,189,375 grant for the lift station project. This represents 75% of the project cost – the remaining 25% will have to be funded by way of a debenture. Attached is a timeline chart for passing a borrowing bylaw for March 15, 2021 and 20, 25, 30-year options for the $1M debenture. There are many options for the term of the debenture, and I would appreciate Council’s input on the preferred length of the debenture. The deadline for submitting the application to the Alberta Capital Financing Authority is January 31, 2021. It is a bit complicated, as we cannot complete the bylaw until we know the cost of the tendered price of the project, and that won’t be available until the contract is awarded mid-September. This date is also dependent on delays that may occur because of COVID -19 supplier and various approval date issues. Attached is a copy of the audited financial statement debt limit for 2019. 1 | P a g e Page 7 of 90 4. Sidewalk Discussions – July 21st. As per our discussions on July 21, Administration prepared a draft of the points that Council agreed upon, and the draft of that policy is attached. Please review and bring any comments/edits to our meeting July 27th, 2020. I would like to thank the Mayor and Council for investing their time in this very important set of policies. 5.
