5.1 Revenue Sharing Agreement Accounting
RFD - 677
Yellowhead County had entered into Revenue Sharing Agreements with the Towns of Edson and Hinton to provide additional support to these communities that indirectly support County residents and industry. One of the terms of the agreement with the Towns is for them to provide an annual accounting of where the funds were allocated/expended. The County did not dictate what or where the funds could be used, only that the County be made aware of how the funds were utilized.
Presented to Council was correspondence from each town advising of how the allocation of funds were utilized. In the case of Hinton, the funds ($1.9 million) were utilized to offset the mill rates. Edson split the funding ($5.1 million) between policing costs, a utilities project and to reserves for future capital initiatives.

9.3 Provision of a Benefit Plan for Council
RFD - 678
At the Committee of the Whole meeting that took place on July 18, 2017 Council
Page 3 of 10
Page 6 of 54 Council Meeting Minutes August 22, 2017
heard an item regarding Council remuneration. As a result of this Council expressed an interest in learning more about the possible provision of benefits and/or some form of pension plan for elected officials. In light of this Administration approached outside providers to obtain details of what can be made available and what the potential costs could be.
Currently Yellowhead County provides Workers Compensation Board coverage for elected officials and an optional accident insurance policy that all of the current Council members chose to enroll in when elected.
Yellowhead County currently holds benefit coverage for staff through Groupsource and there is the potential to add a separate class in the plan for Council members. The benefit plan provider has indicated this new class could offer health coverage with a maximum annual drug limit of $10,000, dental coverage and vision coverage and that the same plan terms would be in effect that employees must meet. Additionally the new Council class in the plan would offer the Employee Assistance Plan that provides some specialty assistance to cover various issues. In accordance with the terms of the County's current benefit plan contract, participation for those who are eligible would be mandatory.
Benefit plan costs are quoted annually and these categories are paid 100% by the County. The 2017 rates per month per person are: Dental family $79.68 Dental single $28.08 Health family $168.96 Health single $60.66 Employee assistance program $4.62.
Council also expressed an interest in some form of pension plan and the most suitable form of plan would be a Group Registered Savings Plan. Contributions to these types of plans must meet Canada Revenue Agency regulations and would be done on a matching basis by the County. The contribution by the Council member must be deducted directly at source from their monthly payment and that ensures that it is pre-tax income, the County would then match the contribution which would go into the plan in the Council member's name. In comparison to other municipalities that offer such plans, other entities have set the maximum contribution level at 5% of earnings. Rules of participation would need to be set by Council and should cover whether or not participation is mandatory, the maximum contribution level, on what intervals a person could choose to join the plan and the rules for withdrawing from the plan.
Regardless of any internal rules agreed upon by Council the Canada Revenue Agency contribution rules prevail and it would be the responsibility of each elected official to determine if they are eligible to contribute and any tax implications from contributions would also be the responsibility of the elected official.
The cost of providing benefit coverage is projected to be $27,352.00 per year based on coverage for nine elected officials. Participation in a group retirement savings plan at a five percent contribution level is projected to be $25,666.00 per year based on coverage for nine elected officials.
The total projected increase to the Council budget would be $53,018.00 per year. Increases for cost of living increments to Council remuneration would increase the amounts and any change to benefit rates would increase/decrease the amount accordingly.
RES 153-08-22-17 MOVED BY Shawn Berry that Council for Yellowhead County advise Administration that Council for Yellowhead County implement a benefit plan and group retirement savings plan for elected officials with an effective date to be determined by Council.
Councillor Russell requested a recorded vote.

• PHASE 1: Project Initiation & Info Gathering • PHASE 2: Public Input, initial ideas (January Public Meeting) • PHASE 3: Preparing Draft document • PHASE 4: Public Review (August Public Meeting) • PHASE 5: Approval Process (1st Reading August 22, Public Hearing Sept 12, Final Readings Sept 26)
Page 17 of 54 ASP Process
• 3 steering committee meetings • 2 public workshops – January 11 (30 attendees) – August 17 (19 attendees) • Individual landowner discussions • Geotechnical report – Completed May 23, 2017 – Prepared by WSP (included 14 test holes within the Hamlet) – Conclusion – conditions are suitable for future residential/ commercial development.
Page 18 of 54 ASP Highlights
• Future land use concept (Map 8) shows “most developable” parcels – 12 parcels were identified for future development – 6 of these parcels already have servicing available in the road right-of-way. – Smallest parcel (1.89 acres – Irene Vanderwell) – Largest parcel (11 acres – Ralph Rurka) – Specific low servicing cost/ high development potential are shown as black diagonal hatching on Map 8
Page 19 of 54 Page 20 of 54 ASP Highlights
• County to propose budget to assess a seniors housing project in Peers – Specifically Independent Living – Not contemplating extended care – Community thought 10 to 20+ units would be needed.
Page 21 of 54 Page 22 of 54 ASP Highlights
• Use County land and/or purchase land for more housing choice – Also consider other cooperative business models that would achieve the same objective. – Community felt that a 10,000 to 12,000 sq/ft lot would be appropriate. – Others spoke of parcels on the order of ½ to ¾ of an acre in size.
Page 23 of 54 ASP Highlights
• Council to consider deferring local improvement charges from the subdivision approval stage to the development permit stage – i.e local improvement charge for water would be deferred to the purchaser of the new lots. – Local improvement charge for water is approximately $20,000.00 per lot
Page 24 of 54 ASP Highlights
• Encourage “mixed-use buildings” as a bylaw amendment –Examples • Commercial Use downstairs/ Residential Use upstairs) • Apartment • Row housing • Duplexes • Three and four unit attached units
Page 25 of 54 ASP Highlights
• Allow "Park Models", but only as a ‘planned unit development’ (PUD) – Could include amenities that encourage social encounters such as communal gardens, water features, green spaces, TV room , central patio for residential use, etc. – This would require an amendment to the Land Use Bylaw which Administration would present to Council for their consideration in 2018.
Page 26 of 54 ASP Highlights
• Negotiations ongoing for improved internet and cell phone service – This issue was brought up at the second Public meeting as having the highest priority with the group. – Businesses require access to high-speed, broadband internet and reliable cell phone service to remain competitive. – Administration is currently working with various service providers to resolve this issue.
Page 27 of 54 ASP Highlights
• “Open space” to separate future residential and Brisco mfg operation & next to Multiplex – 1.5 acre parcel (Ralph Rurka) – 13 acre parcel (Driftwood Creek Ranches)
Page 28 of 54 Page 29 of 54 ASP Highlights
• January Creek floodplain future development restrictions – Completed by Amec Foster Wheeler on August 2016. – The purpose was to identify the 1:100 year Flood elevation within the Hamlet. – 65 cross sections were surveyed throughout the 3.34km long study. – No existing residential/ commercial structures are at risk – Any new development would need to comply with flood assessment.
