Significant public consuliation andlor special consideration should be undertaken when directed by the MPC T after the review of a Draft proposal. A clear and concise procedure to gaining public input on applications within the Area Redevelopment Plan Districts should be incorporated

Therefore, lt is proposed that a public meeting be held by the Developer and/or notifications be sent to property owner's within a 200 meters radius of the development prior to resubmission foi approval to the Municipal Planning Commission. The process would be initiated upon receipt of direction by MPC upon Draft review of this and oiher forthcoming applications for withjn the Lakeshore Drive Commercial District- Upon conclusion of the public meeting all comments/conceTns will be returned for MPC's deliberation at or prior to submission for aPProvals.

4.0 Gonclusion

Although the developer has resubrnitted an application for development, which is more closely in line with the LUB and ARP than previous submissions, staff feels that more could'be done in regards to bringing the application in line with elementsidesign guidelines referred to in the ARP and regulations of the LUB. Staff agrees that the use is accePtable to the site.

It should be noted that ihere is no opposition to the structure encroaching into the front yard, but a clear determination of the appropriate distance of this encroachment should be determined. This should be done carefully so precedence is not set for future I developments and therefore possibly restrict future initiatives (i.e. improvements to lakeshore drive).

Many improvements have been made since the developers initial submission. They parking include significant irnprovement to the fagade, and the addition of 30 underground stalls. euestions still remain to whether a step back above the main floor couldishould be incorporated or development of the parking structure is appropriate. As indicated in the ARP, issues of parking, step back of the fagade and overall building height are to be determined and need t,o be addressed. This direction should be provided by both MPC' staff and qualified professional (when required) upon review on behalf of the Town.

public feedback inclusive of either mail outs to adjacent owners andior public meetings is going to be vital prior to submission for final approval. lt is strongly recommended this or ;the; public feedback is incorporated for substantial developments within ARP Districts

5.0 Recommendation

That Council approve in principle the process reviewed by the Municipal Planning commission and staff to move this development forward which includes:

1.The review of the submission by a qualified professional(s) in terms of building orientation and design in accordance with the policy set out in the ARP

2.That staff undertake mail outs to adjacent landowners within 2o0 meters of the proposed development.

Background years During the past I The Fire Department currently has a Thermal Imaging Camera which is approximately 5 old camera has been repaired several 3 years there have been continuous problems with the camera. Although the t,i*r tf,u problem continues. During a recent structure fire the camera was damaged and will no longer operate in a useful manner-

Discussion is invaluable during The Thermal lmaging Camera is a critical piece of equipment used by the Fire Department. lt arch and rescue as we1 as flre overhaul. The camera provides added safety for our firefighters and also the provides the lblic in speeding up the search and rescue process. Through temperature differential the camera nrJjnters'tne anitity to distinguish victims and dangerous situations that would not be otherwise visible Due to newiechnology a new camera would provide a clearer image and more depth of visibility.

Financial

The estimated cost of a new Thermal lmaging Camera is $18'000'00'

Alternative past years. The most recent repair The current Thermal lmaging Camera has been repaired several times in the 3 my opinion that the camera will coJ approximately $SSO-0.0-O and the unit continued to be problematic, lt_is A current estimated conlinue to cause prootems and repairs cost will eventually equal the price of a new camera. t repair cost is $4500.00.

t3 Town of Sylvan Lake @ Administration Report - TO: Myron Thompson, Assistant Chief Administrative Officer FROM: Ron Lebsack, Director of Recreation & Parks DATE: October4,2006 SUBJECT: Revise to Award of Tender - MPF Aluminum Bleachers

1.0 Purpose

To purchase permanent aluminurn bleachers for the south side of the Multi-Purpose Facility.

2.0 Backgrounci

The Multi-purpose Facility currently only has seating capacity for 250 spectators, all located above the dressing rooms on the north side of the facility. The Sylvan Lake Curling Club donated $78,000 from the proceeds of the Cabin Raffle funds to be put towards the purchase of alumin um bleachers for additional seating

Tender documents with specific spec's were sent to six suppliers of bleachers, five from Alberta and one from ontario, but all are members of the Alberta Recreation & Parks Association, At the August 27tn Town Council meeting a resolution was passed to negotiate with, and then purchase, the perrnanent bleachers from Canadian Arena Products to maimize the seating based on available funds. During this process it was determined, through the receiving of engineered sketches, that the proposed bleachers from Canadian Arena Products are not an acceptable style for our facility.

The proposed bleachers from Canadian Arena Products do not extend to the south wall of the building but actually end 12.5' (150") in front of the south wall of the building. The top row of the bbathers would then be backed by an approximately 5' tall chain link fence rnaterial to provide a safety railing. The staff has identified two major concerns with this styie of bleacher. The first concern being the waste of space for potential seating. With the oroposed bleacher ending 12.5 feet away from the building wall, there is the potential of another two rows of seating in this unused space which could amount to an additional 150+ seats once the entire bleacher area is completed. Also, with the back railing being a chain link style of railing it actually seerns to increase the liability issue as it will just provide the publia(youth) with a place to climb and hang off and can be seen as more of a challenge than a deterrent to using the stairs. t4 - Permanent Bleacher Purchasg.doc C:\Documents and Seftings\flebsackwly Documents\,qdmrn nepods\Admin Repofi MPF ln addition, the style of construciion proposed is a continuous angle frame construction which means the bracing under the bleachers is all cross-bracing from one Support to another' which does not allow for future use of storage space in this area'

Given the concerns with the proposed bleachers from Canadian Arena Products, I reviewed the other quotes originally provided and contacted Kilroe and Associates for further clarification on their proposed bleachers. The Kilroe and Associates proposed bleachers are a completely different style of construction that addresses our concerns identified in the Canadian Arena Products proposal. The Kilroe and Associates proposed bleachers extend to meet the south wall of the facility and are constructed of a beam system construction to allow for future storage areas.

" Centaur products Inc. was reluctant to provide engineered drawings without being

3.0 Financial lmPlications The financial implications of purchasing bleachers would not affect the 2006 budget as the bleacher purchase would not exceed the actual fundraised dollars at time of purchase, the $78,000 donation provided by the Sylvan Lake Curling Club and an estimated $25,000 which should be raised at the 2006 Trauma Tour. These fundraising dollars would also be the total dollars used towards the purchase of the permanent bleachers, which should provide bleacher seating for approximately 1/3 of the south side of the building' I

4.0 Staff Recommendation

Staff recommendation is to purchase the permanent bleachers from Kilroe and Associates to a maximum of the remaining funding, that being the $78,000 donation from the Curling Club plus the funds raised from the 2006 Trauma Tour, at a cost not to exceed 90,500.

et Town of Sylvan Lake Request for Decision

TO: CAO, Mayor and Council FROM: Myron ThomPson DATE: October '17,20OE SUBJECT: Regional Partnership Initiative Update

1.0 Purpose

To provide Council with an update on the activities of the Sylvan Lake Regional Partnership (SLRP) initiative and bring forward reviews undertaken by Austrom Consulting relating to regional recreation and solid wasie services for accepiance.

2.O Background

The regional initiative commenced in January of 2005 through grant funding opportunities and shared interest by our neighboring municipalities to take sustainable partnerships to a higher and more comprehensive level in the provision of key municipal service elements. The Regional Partnership Initiative grant received through Municipal Affairs in the amount of $150,O0O has and is for the majority been utilized to cover costs of Austrom Consulting for the contract administration, project coordination and management, assessment of recycling, recreation, and sold waste options. Funds remain to retain the services of the consultant until year end.

The feasibility study that was completed by Stantec was funded through Provincial Water Wastewater grant funding secured through Lacombe County of which our community contributed $6,600 towards ihe municipal partnership's 25% share of the cost. Grant funding io allow the group to move to the next step of having a preliminary design carried out has not been made available

Our application for project funding (actual construction of regional sewer and water system) was made this past spring and to this date no approvals for regional project funding has been committed and it is unknown if and when funding will be available. 3.0 Discussion

Two initiatives identifled by the regional partnership to be carried out by Auskom Consulting was the Solid Waste Disposal and Recycling Review and the study on Non-Resident Use on Sylvan Lake Recreation Facilities & Programs. The studies are attached for Council's review and comment from which direction is expected to proceed with recommendations contained within-

{.O Executive Summary

The Sylval Lake Regional PartrLership, consisting of the Torn'n of Sylvan Lake, Red Deer and Lacombe Counties and the Summer Villages of Birchcliff, Half Moon Bay, Jarvis Bay, Norglenwold and Sunbreaker Cove, identified the need to assess long term optiors for the disposal of solid waste, including rerycling.

Regional Solid Waste Agreements By 2015, the region will generate approximately 15,000 tonnes of waste annually. Witl-r regards to disposal of solid waste over the long term, the municipalities need to work together to address their long term solid waste requirements. Lacombe County appears to be the only municipality with facilities and a long-term sffategy in place to address their solid waste disposal needs. While at present the mr-rnicipalities are able to landfill their waste elsewhere, as they grow arrd the waste volumes increase, they may need to look for another long term option to address their solid waste T disposa-l needs.

Recycling Within the region, there are currently approximately 4,500 residents who do not have access to a curbside recycling program, of which approximately half reside il Sylvan Lake. ln discussions with the Summer Villages' Administration, there appears to be a willingness to participate in funding a regional rerycling depot A basic depot accepting paper and containers (metal, plastic and glass) could potentially divert 600 tonnes of waste from the la:rdfill each year.

Solid Waste Disposal The Tortn operates the only waste trarsfer station on the south side of Sylvan lake. The Transfer Station consists of several forty cubic yard roll off garbage collection bins that are hauled away and emptied daily. The users of the facility include residents and businesses in Town, but also people who live throughout the region. The private operator who collects waste from Birchclilf and Half Moon Bay also hauls waste from these communities to the transfer station. Even with tipping fees established at $65 per tonne. the transfer station operates at a deficil It is estimated that the cosb to dispose waste from the landfill totals $122 per tonne. Several items were considered with respect to decreasing the costs per torure landfiIled. It is recognized by the sumrner villages and Red Deer County tJ:at their ratepayers urilize this site. Therefore consideration could be given to a future partnership between the parties with respect to its operation.

With the proposed $owth jn the Svlvan Lake region over the next thirty years theimou't of solid waste generated will increase substarLtially and the turrent solid waste disposal systems are not sustainable. One possible alternative would be to develop a Class II landfill in the region' However, Red Deer of Lacombe Counties does not appeal be an locating a landfill in -o ....ptrbl" alternative and the City of Red Deer landfill has a limited liJe expectancy. The partners in the Sylvan Lake region need to look for long term solutions to reduce the amount of solid waste and to provide for the disposal of solid waste.

Recommendations

To ad.dress the long-term solid waste and reqcling needs, the following recomnendations are plesented to the Sylvan Lake Regional Parhrership:

1. That Red Deer County work with the Torvn of Sylvan Lake and the Summer Villages to develop a long-term strategy to dispose of solid waste. 2. That the Sylvan Lake Partnership develop a central rerycling depot with the funding for the depot shared on a per capita basis, which acknowledges that not aI1 residents of the Town of Sylvan Lale require access to this servjce' 3, That the Town of Sylvan Lake look to improve the operation of their ba:rsfer station and reduce costs by: a. Completing a study of the options to install cornpaction at the Sylvan Lake hansfer statioo applying for funding through the CAMRII program and/or Alberta Environment, and constructing the appropriate compaction system for the long term; b. Reducilg the hours of operation to better reflect the needs of ihe comnunitY; and c. Improving the composting facilities to provide better access' 4, That the membets of the Sylvan Lake Partnership whose residents utilize the Sylvan Lake trarsfer station enter into a cost sharing agreement with the Town of Sylvan Lake to share in the operational deficit of the transfer site.

2.0 Project Overview

The Sylvan Lale t-".trirr"tor"r, Regional Parhrership t=._. is comprised of the

L Town of Sylvan Lake. l: Red Deer County, Lacombe County, €"9 and the five Sunmer B.h. ::-:11p:l '-., Villages surrounding Deertgounty ! the Lake: Birchcliff, ,@Red D€er*. ".=-j: Half Moon Bay, RLi D":r {bnil; Jawis Bay, t€ Norglenwold and Sunbreaker Cove.

Assessing Long.Term Solid Waste Options The members identified the need to assess tJ-re lonq-term options for the disposal of solid waste, includiag recycling. The CIiy of Red Deer and the Town o{ Sylvan Lake have entered into an agreement concerning the disposal of waste originating from within the Town including i6 solid waste fuansfer shtion.

Cunent Status The Town of sylvan Lake operates the only barsfer station on the south side of Sylvan Lake. The hansfer shtion consists of several forty cubic yard roll off garbage collection bins that are hauled away and empded daily. efso induded at the transfer site are rerycling facilities for -"tul, tit.", ll"ctronics, compost and wood waste. The users of the Sylvan La_ke trar:sfer station include residents of not only the Town, but also people who iive tlrroughout dle region, including tl-re pdvate operator who collects solid waste froi some of the Summer Villages.

The Lacombe Solid Waste Authority operates transfer stations in close proximity to the Town of Bentley and the village of Eckville. These hansfer t stations consist of two 4Gyard bins with compaction. The solid waste is hauled to the West Dried Meat Landfill in Carnrose County. Bias are also available for metal and Class III materiaf which is hauled to the prentiss Class III Landfill east of the Town of Lacombe.

Until recentJy the Town of Sylvan Lake operated a recycling depof which serviced the residents and businesses of the Town a,.d many residents from

the region, An enhanced curbside recycling service is now provided for the residents of the Town of Sylvan Lake and solrre recycling services are provided at the hars{er station.

There are three mair-r purposes to be completed in this project, induding:

1. Evaluating the impact of non-resident use on the Sylvan Lake Transfer Station. Through a Process of data gathering, analysis and synthesis, the project will identify non-resident usage patterns arrd evaluate future options for the collection ar-rd rerycling of regional solid waste; 2, Assessing the options available to the region to dispose of solid waste over the long term; and 3. Examining options to improve arrd fund rerycling within the region

Specifically, the solid waste review component of the project will:

. Ascertain the costs of the uarrsfer operation on the Town of Sylvan Lale tax base; . Identif-/ the murricipal origin of Syh'an Lake Trarufer Stafion waste; and . Evaluate long term options for the operation of the transfer station and the disposal of waste collected, including: providing haul cost estimates on a cost per tonne basis for the disposal of wastes at the Red Deer Landfill and other regional landfills; and evaluate the potential of commencing a rerycling Program to include mixed paper and cardboard on a regional basis

Recycling OPPortunities Much of the solid waste deposited in landfills or transfer shtions can be recycled. In marry mr-rnicipalities, it is cheaper to laldfill solid waste than to I recycle iL However, as lartdfill costs rise and trucking cost increase, the need to recyde wi-ll increase.

This project will include a preliminary analysis of the options available to the parfrership to enhance the rerycling pro-grams currently in place. The ierycling analysis component will indude:

. Determining the volume of recycling material currently collected tfuough curb side pickup ald the trarsfer station; . Options available to the member municipal-ities to enhance the rerycling Progranl and . Preliminary cost estimates associated with the recycling options.

3.O Review of Regional Population

3.1 Existing and Projected Regional Population

To determine regional population percentages, the Consultant utilized Sylvan Lake's 2004 municipal census as well as the 2001 Federal Ceruus for the Summer Villages. For both Red Deer County and Lacombe County, the Coruultant utilized the population living wit}in the Sylvan Lale Drainage Basin as per the Regional Water/\{astewater Feasibility Study, prepared by Stantec in March of 2006- As shown in Tables 1 and 2 below, the Town of Sylvan Lake represents 80% of the regionai popuJation within the Sylvan Lake Drainage Basin

Projecting into the future, residents living in Sylvan Lake will continue to represent80% of the regional population; however, Lacombe County residents will make up an increasing proportion of the population.

4.O Analysis of Waste Generated

4,'l Regional Waste Composition and Volumes

In 2003, Alberta generated 0.75 tonnes So rces of Wssle tfrcteriol.s of non-hazardous wast€ Per Person. ceneruted in Albedo t This waste included residential waste, ICI (industriaf commercial and instihrtional) waste, and construction and demolition waste. The following graph shows the composition of solid waste in Alberta.

The Sylvan Lake region represents one of the highest growth areas in Alberta. As such, it is reasonable to expect that the construction and demolition waste may be higher than the Provincia-l average, ald due to sornewhat smaller induskial and cornrrrercial sectors, this waste composition coming from this sector may be lort'er'

Alberta Environment has stated that their overall goal for 2010 will be to reduce the volume o{waste generated to 500 kilograms per person. This would represent a decrease of one third the volume of waste currently generated and would require significantly increased participation in r residential reryding and r+'aste reduction Progralns. I - Furtrer, it will be critical thatindustry reduces its wast€ volumes, as it is evident that non-residential ra'aste reiresents two ihirds of the solid waste generated. The current recycling participation in Sylvan Lake is estimated at 53"/", altlough the figure is actually lower due to the recycling service not behg avaiiable to residenb living in apartments, condominiums and mobile home Parks.

Due to rapid growth in the region, anticipated volumes of waste destined for the landfill will increase. Should no significant waste reduction occur, Table 3 shows the future waste volumes destined for the lardfill originating in the Sylvan Lale region

5,0 Analysis of Sylvan Lake Solid Waste Services

The Town of Sylvan Lake provides tlree different services to its residents. These serwices include residential solid waste coilection; single family residential curbside rerycling; and waste transfer station services (with some recycling).

5.1 Residential Gollection

Residential solid waste collection is undertaken by Town Staff using the Town's compaction truck.

Household garbage is collected weekly throughout the Town, with tl-re exception of apartnrLents, mobile home parks and condominiums.

There is a Sunit limit with each unit not Town of Sylvan Lake Truck to exceed 25 kg (55 lbs). Extra garbage tags can be purchased at the Town Office for $1.00 each.

As shown in Table 4 there is excess revenues over expendifures for the residential collection program. These funds appear to be used to finance solid waste services that operate in a deficit, ald provide funding for future I capital upgrades at the waste transfer station as well for equipment such as trucks.

5.2 Residential and Commercial Recycling

The Town of Sylvan Lake recently introduced a curb side Green Box Recycle Progtarn, contracting witJl Waste Management to provide PickuP every tlvo weeks. The ccntact, which began ir 2005, is for a five-year term with al the initial cost of $2.50 Per household, increasing 5 % per yea-r over the life of contract. The Town provides regvcling boxes at cost of $2.88 per household, and currently has a participation rate of 53%, although itis anticipated that t additional homes will sign up for the sewice as a result of increased education. Presentlp there is limited ol no coverage for aparbrents, condominir:ms and mobile home parks that do not have individual utility bills, ho'wever Waste Managenent is encouraged to offer rerycling services to these homes.

Sylvan Lake businesses can recycle cardboard by placing their cardboard in the Cardboard Only recycle bins located at 1 Erickson Drive. The Town rents bins from Waste Management ata cost of $120.00 per month for each Bins are emptied at a cost of $127.00. Businesses are charged a rerycling fee of $3.00 per month, aimed at recovering 50% of costs.

Compostcan be deposiied free of charge at tlLe Waste Transfei Site, 7 days a week], 24 hours per day. The tr{aste Transfer Site is located on Range Road 12 (1 km east of Sylvan Lale on Hwy 11A).

5.O Recycling Analysis and Recornmendations

6,1 Analysis of Exisiing Recycling and Waste Reduction Programs

In 2005, the Town of Sylvan Lake closed their recyctng depot and installed a curbside rerycling collection program. The serwice provider is Waste Managemen! who collects reryciables every two n'eeks via a green box progran. Products collected include:

. Glass - clear iars and bottles; . Metals - soup and juice containers, aluminum cans, , Newspaper and Mixed Paper - newspaper. flyers, office paper, envelopes, glossy magazines and shredded paper; . HDPE Plastics - rrilk jugs and containers; and . Corrugated Cardboard and Boxboard.

The municipality has also irutalled a three-r:nit limit on garbage collected, in an effort to encourage waste reduction at the household level. The reryding prograrn has a 53% participation in the Prograr, however tlrough increased education and awareness, it is expected to increase. Further, as shown in the chart below, 20% of residents do not have access to the program, as they reside in aparbnents, condominir:ms ald mobile home parks, however Waste lr4anagement is encouraged to offer rerycling services to these homes.

Regionally, there is a significant cornponent of the population that is I underserved u'i Elr respect to reryclirrg services. The SunLmer Villages CAO has indicated tha t ilr ey would support tJle re-establishment of the Sylvan Lake Rerycling Depot.

Discussions with the Bentley Chief Adminisfative OFficer revealed that usage at the Bentley Recycling Depot has increased since tJre closure of the Sylvan Lake Rerycling Bentley Recycle Bin Deport. The depot collects corrugated cardboard, paper, plastics and metal containers.

Using current population figures, Tab1e 8 shows the potential popuJation I that could be serviced via a recycling depot located in a high traffic location in Sylvan Lake (potential site would be Exfta loods, or any other convenient location).

7.3 Waste Transfer Station Recommendations I

Ttre Town of Sylvan Lake could undertake two internal matters to reduce the cost of operation o{ the landfill. The Town could:

. Replace the forW yard bins with a system of bins with compaction; . Enhance its composting area through expanding ie compost site, and by banning the depositing of compostable in the solid waste bins; and . Reduce its hours of operation by one day per week, ra'hich could reduce operating costs by over $10,000.

Over the long-term, the tralsfer station needs to be developed to enable the solid waste to be placed in a bin system with con'rpaction. The current system is not efficient and wiilr a tipping fee of $36.00 and an average fucking cost of $45.00 the tipping fee of S65.00 results in a $17-00 per tonne subsidy just to dispose of the waste.

With the availability of funding tfuough the Canada Alberta Infrastucture Program, the Town could possibly secure funding to assist widr upgrading the bin system to include compaction. t Also, some of the waste collected at the Transfer Station is corstruction and demolition waste. With 400-500 homes being consbucted in tfre region each year, over 1,000 tonnes of inert waste from residential consbuction in the iegion is enterirg the transfer station, with a significant portion being landlilled.

Given the present amount and future Proiected activity for new construction wittLin the region, it is recommended that the mulicipalities jointJy consider establishing a "Dry Waste Site" that is restricted to non-offensive classes of demolition rubble.

7.4 Regional Landfill OPtions

The development of a Class II regional landfill to serve the long term solid waste disposal needs of the Sylvan Lake region is one alternative that could be worth consideration. However, given that both Red Deer and Lacombe Cor.trties have explored this option in past and do not support the development of a Class II landfill in either County, a possible option would be the developrnent of a Class III landfill.

The Lacombe Regional Solid Authority operates a Prentiss Class III landfill' east of the Town of Lacombe, which is available for use by the residents of the County of Lacombe.

Given the voiurre of waste generated through the construction o{ new homes and businesses, a Class III landfill should be considered. Currently the majority of the construction waste aPPears to be going to tJre City of Red Deer landfill, r+'itlL some being delivered to the Sylvan Lake transfer station.

A Class III Landfill uray accept inert wastes defined as: . waste that is solid; arrd . waste that, on disposal in a landfi11, is not reasonably expected to undergo physical, chemical or biological changes to such an extent as to produce substances that may cauff an adverse effect, and includes, but is not limited to demolition debris, concrete, asphalt, glass, cerarrdc materials, scrap metal and dry timber or wood that has not been chemically heated. but does not include hazardous waste. . designed to provide for contairmrent of the waste disposed.

Class III Landfills can be less expensive to operate because they do not involve installing leachate collection systens and cells with expersive liners'

For the immediate term, the municipalities should consider parhrering together to develop and/or encoutage the development of a Class III LandfiIl in close proximity to Sylvan Lake.

8.0 ANALYSIS OF REGIONAL SOLID WASTE PROGRAMS

In addition to the solid waste services provided by the Town o{ Sylvan Lake, the nember municipalities have addressed their solid waste requirements through various programs and facilities.

8.1 Lacombe County System

Lacombe County, along n'ith all of the urban municipalities within the County, formed the Lacombe Regional Solid Waste Authority to address their solid waste needs on a regional basis. Lacombe County is the managing Dartrler and operates the six tralsfer stations and the Prentiss Class IIi t Landfill on behalf of the Authority.

Each tansfer station includes compaction birs for Class II waste. which is transported on an Authority owned ald operated truck to the West Dried Meat landfill in Camrose County. The Authorily has a long-term contract with the West Dried lr{eat La-ke Landfill Authority to deposit tl-reir waste.

The Lacombe Regional Solid Waste Authority operates the Prentiss Class III Landfill, located east of the Town of Lacombe. The Prentiss site is open 7 days per rt'eek and includes a trans{er station with compacdon, some recycling and an inert pit for Class III waste.

In the vicinity of the SylvarL Lake Region" the Lacombe Solid Waste Authority operates fwo transfer statioru. The Eckville transfer station is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p-m. and Saturday 2:O0 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Bentley trarsfer station is open Thursday and Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

These sites are open to residents of the County and the Towns, plus the residents of Sunbreaker Cove under conhacL

The Lacombe Regional Solid Waste Authority has addressed the solid waste disposal needs for its members. The cost to the municipalities is $41.00 per I capita. Two areas of concern that should be addressed include:

F Use of the harsfer sites bv non-residents F Recycling

Currently the Bentley and Eckville transfer station oPeratot is not asking the people using the site where they are from. Discussioru r.r'iflr the oPerator indicate t}re use of the site by non-residenb is not a major problem, as he

.4'Btton a-onntirt ltn

Page l9 of 23 Solid Waste Disposal and Recycling Reuiew

knows most of the people. A1so, the cost for disposing of the ra'aste deposited by non-residents is probably less than the cost of cleaning uP the $'aste that iryould be deposited in the County ditches iJ these people were refused access.

The urban centres within Lacombe County operate their own rec,vcling programs, with possibility of some assistance from Lacombe Cor:nty For u"urr-rpt., the lown of Bentley has two bins rented from Waste Management whicfr are durrrped weekly. With the closure of the Sylvan Lake site' the Town of Bentley has experienced an increase in the use of their recycling bins.

8.2 Red Deer County System

Until recently, Red Deer County had an arrangement with the City of Red Deer to deliver solid waste to fte Citv of Red Deer Waste Management Facility. In anticipation of this service ending, Gartner Lee was retained by the County to review existing ald future waste generation, identify and *""r, opdo* for collection, hansfer and disposal, and provide an initia-1 recomnrlndation for a preferred solid waste system co#iguration' The I for the Red Gartner Lee report included the following recommendafions Deer Cor:ntY sYstem:

1'RetentionoftheexistingresidentialcollectionsystemforHanrlets, country residential subdivisions and summer villages; 2. Unmanned satelLite collection depots to service rural residents; 3.

Withjn the Sylvan Lake region, Red Deer Coun$r provides household I collection under confact with Waste Serwices at a mont}Iy charge of $6.70 per household. Red Deer County provides this service to organized subdivisions in the Sylvan Lake area ald under contact offers the same service to the Summer Villages of Jarvis Bay and Nolglenwold. The maximurn number of containers that will be picked up is five. lf residents have additional waste to dispose of thev need to haul the waste to one of the transfer shtions-

Red Deer County is working on a iong term solution to their solid waste disposal needs and in the interim has made arrangements with several of the surrornding municipalities fot access to their transfer stations and landfills. In addition to addressing the long-term solid waste needs in the Syivan Lake regiory the following issues should be addressed:

1. There is no rerycling program to reduce the a.mount of solid waste that will need to be hansported to a regional landfill; and 2. The Ton'n of Sylvan Lake transfer station is utilized by County residents and while the County does provide a subsidy to other urban centres there is no subsidy provided to the Town of Sylvan Lake. I

8.3 Summer Village System

The five Summer Villages in the Sylvan Lake regionhave various solid waste services. Norglenwold and Jarvis Bay are provided with household pickup under contract with Red Deer Coulty utilizing the County's contractor.

Sunbreaker Cove has entered into a contract with the Lacombe Regional Solid Waste Authority for their residents to have access to the Eckville tralsfer station. Household collection is provided to Sunbreaker Cove residents, witl, the contractor hauling the waste to the Eckville transfer station. Another private conkactor hauls waste from the Surnmer Villages of Half Moon Bay and Birchcliff to the Sylvan Lake transfer station.

The following issues will need to be addressed by the Sunr:rrer Villages:

1. Wift the exception of Surr Breaker Cove, there is no Iong-term arrangement for the disposal of the solid waste. The cunent confactors providing collection services are required to dispose of the waste; 2. The waste from HalJ Mocn Bay and Birchcliff is deposited at the Town of Sylvan Lal

,AJtitna CaneU,tLld. I Page 2'l of23 2L 9 olid Waste Disposal and Recycling Retsinn

per tonne tipping fee. The Town of Sylvan Lake operational costs are considerably higher; J. The contractor providing services to Red Deer CounS is currenfly providirg a very affordable collection rate, which appears to include disposal costs. \{hen this contract renews the Summer Villages of Norglenwold arrd Jarvis Bay will likely experrence a significant increase in their collection and disposal costs due to not being able to dispose their waste at the City of Red Deer Landfill. The appears to be a demard for rerycling Program, but with the exception of the cardboard bins in Sylvan Lake there is no local option for the Summer Villages.

9.0 Sumrnary

This revierv of the solid u'aste disposal and rerycling in the Sylvan Lake region indicates that a long-term strategy needs to be developed to address both the solid waste disposal and recycJing needs of the majority of the ccmmr:nities surroulding S1'1'.ran Lale. The current collec€cn systems seem to be working satisfactorilY.

With regard to the disposal of solid rvaste over the long-term. particularly as the population increases, the comrrr.mities within the Sylvan Lake region need to work together to address their long term solid waste requirements Lacombe Colrrty appears to be the only municipality n'ith the facilities and a long-term strategy in place to address their solid waste disposal needs'

However, over time, as tipping fees and trucking cosb increase, the dishlce to the West Dried Meat Lake LandJill could result in the Lacombe Solid Waste Aut]rority needing other options to dispose of theil solid waste' Red Deer County is working on a long-term strategy to dispose of their solid waste arrd in the interim has set up a cenka-l transfer station

The Town of Sylvan Lake is operating a fansfer station that services the residents of not only the Town, but also Red Deer County and some of the Summer Villages. Under contract they are able to dispose of tlLeir waste on the Cify of Red Deer Landfill, but as the population increases, Sylvan Lake may need to look for another long term oPtion to address their solid waste disposal needs.

The one issue that all municipalities could to work together to address is a central recycling facility. The current system is not wotking and as tipping

A$1tun Ca"Etn;UL,td

PdJe 22 oI23 LL Solid Warte Disposal and Recycling Rettieza fees and trucking costs continue to increase a long-term solution needs to be developed to reduce the amount of waste that is being transported to landfiIls.

To addtess the long-term solid waste and recycling needs, the following reconmendations are presented to the Sylvan Lake Regional Parhrership:

1. That Red Deer County work with the Town of Sylvan Lake and the Summer Villages to develop a long-term strategy to dispose of solid waste.

2. That the Sylvan Lake Parhrership develop a central recycling depot with the funding for the depot shared on a per capita basis, which acknowledges that not all residenb of the Town of Sylvan Lake I require access to this service. 3. That the Town of Sylvan Lake look to reduce the cost of operating their trarrsfer station by:

a. Completing a study o{ the options to install compaction at the Sylvan Lake tuansfer station, applying for firnding through the CAMRIF program and/or Alberta Environment, and constructing the appropriate compaction system for the long term; b. Reducing the hours of operation to better reflect the needs of the community; and c. Improving the composting facilities to provide better access. 4. That the members of the Sylvan Lake Partrership whose residents utilize the Sylval Lake barsfer station enter into a cost sharing agreement with the Town of Sylvan Lake to share in the operational deficit o{ the transfer site.

Red Deer and Lacombe Cormties and the Summer Vi-llages of BirchcMf, Half Moon Bay, Jarvis Bay, Norglenwold alrd Sunbreaker Cove, identified the need to comPlete a review of the recreation facilities and prograns provided by the Town of Sylvan Lake, n'ith an emphasis on the usage of the facilities by the residents of the region. Aushom Coruulting Ltd. was retained by the parhrership to complete the review of the usage of the Town of Sylvan Lake recreation Programs and facilities'

Regional PartnershiPs The members of the Sylvan Lake Regional Partnership have made a comnritrnent to work together to improve the delivery of services to the residents of the Sylvan Lale region The success of the partnership is based on ihe willingness of the member municipalities to openly commurricate and work cooperatively to address issr:es of mutual concern and interesL Through cooperative efforts the level and quality of services provided to the residents o{ the region can be improved whiie minimizing the costs to aII mr:rricipalities. Through the development of appropriate cost sharing agreements for these regional services the residents o{ the comrnunities cal have access to ihese shared services with the participating municipalities paying their fair share for services used by tfreir residents.

Historical Perspective During the past decade the Sylvan Lake region has experienced incredible gowth, which has placed incredible pressures on the municipalities to improve the level of service, particularly in the delivery of programs and "Thrnl oh services for young families. In response to the demand from their residents cooperative and the residents of the surroulding area the Town of Sylvan La-ke has efforts the leve1 and quality of developed an aquatic cenhe and twinned the arena. The Town of Sylvan services. ..can be Lake has expressed concems about the ievel of funding and/or lack of improved while funding provided by the member municipalities for both operational and minimizing the capital projects. Conversely. the other rLembers of ttre partnership have costs to all municipalities," expressed concerns about the lack of communicatiorL Palticularly during the initial development stages of new recreation facilities.

Recreation Usage The Town of Sytvan Lake is clearly a regional recreation centre that provides recreation services and programs that are utilized by the residents of all of the merrbers of tJre regional partnership. To deternrine the usage the consultant met the Sylva:r Lake recreation staff, contacted the executives of

SEPTEMBER 2OO6 Page 3 of 24 23 Impact Study: N on'Resident llse on Sylaan Lake Rea'eation Facilities & Ptogrants SYLVAN LAKE REGIONAL PARTNERSHIP the various groups and organizations providing the minot sports activities and contacted the regional school boards. Aldrough tI're participation rates varied by recreation program. the Participation of youth in recreation programs generally corresponded with the percentage of population living within each commu:rity. The usage of the recreation facilities by youth according to their place of residence cal be summarized as follows:

Tozon of Syluan Lake 80% Red Deer CountY Lacombe CountY 3to4% I Summer Villages 1to 2%

Recreation 0peration Costs The Town of S14van Lake is ftnding dre majority of the operational deficits cf the recreation Programs and facilities operating within the Town of Sylvan Lake. ln 2006 the operafional deficits for municipal facilities serving regional residents (not including capital or debentures) are budgeted as follows: Aquatic Center $31-1,,727 Arena and Multi Purpose FacilitY $337,11.6 Curling Rink Four Seasons Park $ 37.708 Total $71.2,173

Recreation Funding Red Deer Cor:nty pays $23,000 annually to tlie Town of Sylvan Lake' The funding is conditional on all residents of the Red Deer County receiving access to recreational programs arLd facilities for t]le same user fee as residents of Sylvan Lake. Red Deer County also contributed $50.000 to the construction of the new arena. The balance of the municipal partrers do not pay any fee to the Town and for some programs, such as minor hockey and iwimrrring lessons, these participants are charged a non-resident user fee'

Recommendations: 1. That all rrembers of the regional parbrership enter into recreation cost sharing agreements that appropriately reflect their usage of the recreation programs and facilities in the Town of Sylvan Lake; 2. That an appropriate framework be established to ensr:re communications lines are established and maintained between the partnering municipalities; 3. That the Sylvan Lake Regional Partnership complete a recteation master plan to ensure the long term recreation needs oi all parnrering municip a1i ties are identified; and

The Town of Sylvan Lake oPerates a variety of recreation facilities ald prograins. The Town's reputation as a recreation playgrou-nd brings high expectations in regards to sports ald recreationai services that it provides.

The lake and its expansive activities tend to overshadow the inventory of indoor and outdoor facilities operated by the Town of Sylvan Lake.

6.O lnter Municipal Recreation Gost Sharing

6.1 Existing Sylvan Lake Agreements

The Town of Sylvan Lake receives an amual conditional grant of $23,000 from Red Deer County. This works out to a per capita grant of $9.58 based on the population of the Benwood and Sylvan Lake Recreation Board Districts.

The Town of Sylvan Lake currently receives no financial assistance from Lacombe County arrd the five summer villages around Sylvan Lake.

6.2 ldentification of Key lssues ln discussions with the Town of Sylvan Lake staff, there are a number of key issues with respect to inter-municipal cost sharing. These issues include:

1. No Cost Sharing Agreements with Lacornbe County and the Summer Villages. The Town of Sylvan Lake is of the opinion that there shor:ld

Austrom Consulting Ltd. SEPTE}'BER 2006 Page 16 of 24 23 lxrpact Stady: N on- Residmt Use or Sylaan Lake Rec,teation Escilities €s Programs SYLVAN LAKE REGIONAL PARTNERS}II P be some recognition that Sylvan Lake provides recreation services to residenb of neighbouring municipalities.

2. Agreement with Red Deer County is inadequate. The $23,000 received from Red Deer County is not suJficient given the usage of Red Deer County residents of Sylvan Lake Recreation Facilities and the cost to run them.

3. Red Deer County's Agreements with Other Urban Municipality's are not Equitable. For instance, Bowden and lnnisfail both receive "Per Capita" grants as well as "Recreation Levies" from Countv ratepayers. Innisfail receive s $77,029, or $21.17 per capih from the 3,638 residents in the surrounding Recreation Districts. Bowden receives $34,460, or $27.09 pet capita from the residents of the surrounding Recreation District.

Discussions with staJf of Red Deer and Lacombe Counties and the Summer Villages identified the following issues:

4. Lack of commurrications from the Torvn of Sylvan Lake during the development of new facilities. Requests for capital funding are submitted #ter the project plars are finalized and the proiect has t started. 5. In some cases no requesb for funding have been subnritted by the Town of Sylvan Lake for funding assistance and there has been no or limited opportunity for the member municipalities to have input into recreation progtams or facilities.

6. Lacombe County provides funding assistance to tl'te urbar centers within Lacombe County, where maly non-residents from other mr:nicipalities use Programs and services, and the County does not provide funding to municipalities outside their corporate boundaries.

7. Red Deer Counly has completed a Community Sewice Needs Assessment and is currentJy u'orking on the development of a recreation master plan for the County. They would like to involve their urba-n partrers in these proiects to ensure the needs of all residents are addressed in the plan

Rural Municipalities bordering Red Deer County include: Clearwater; Kneehill; Lacombe; Mountain View; Statian4 and Stettler.

Recreation cost sharing highlights for Town's greater than 5,000 population include:

0lds & Mountain View CountY The County pays a grant for the 2,845 residents living in the Olds Recreation Area. The recreation areas generally follow school bor:ndaries. The 2005 grant was $88,053 or $30.95 per capitt. Mountain View is currently reviewing the agteements with their urban partners. I Rocky Mt. House & Clearwater County The County has agreed to cost share the oPerating deficit on a 50/50 basis. Agreement includes the operation of the pool, arena, ball diamonds and recreation programs. County aPproves recreation budget

Steftler & Stettler County A Rural Conditional Grant of $85,712 is paid a:rnually to the Town ($16 per capita). Agreement currently expired. and is being renegotiated between the two pajties.

6.4 Other Alberta Sample Inter-municipal Recreation Agreements

There are many examples of inter-municipal recreation agreements utilized throughout Atberta. \Arhat follows is a fist of municipal "best practices" employed in several rural-urban partnerships:

Variance of Principles The Agreements fall into five main types:

1. Cor:nty grantbased onfacility type; I 2. Coulty grant based on per capita; 3. County grant that is deficit based and reflects County facility usage; !L Lj. \,L'LJ_I l Ly --^-!ErcurL uraLat isr> deficit based and reflects Countv market populatio4; and 5.

7.O Sumrnary

7.1 Regional Perspective on Recreation Cooperation

Sylvan Lake is clearly the regional recreation centre draf is u"lizgd !y thg residents of the Sylvan Lake region, notjust the residents of the Town of Sylvan Lake. The Town of Sylvan Lake is providing these services, witfi the taxpayers in Town of Sylvan Lake paying the majority of the costs not covered by user fees. In addition to the facilities and programs provided by the Town, there are residents of the region that are utilizing facilities and prDgrams in the cther cocrm'.nities, including Red Deer Count'y, Eckville and the City of Red Deer.

Red Deer Coulty does provide a basic subsidy of $23,000 per year and administuation staJf has indicated the County is willing to review the a-nrount of tJle subsidy. For sorne prograns, such as minor hockey and swimming lessons, there is also a non-resident fee charged to youth from Lacombe Counfy ald the Summer Villages. For many programs and services it is not I always possible to charge or collect this additional fee.

From a regional perspective, it cal be argrred that there are several beneFib to the Town of Sylvan Lake in having these non-residents participate and urilizg thg Jer^rn's recreation programs ard fac ities, including:

> B.iogog parents to town who will then shop and support the business community while their children are participating in ihese reseation activities; F Provides additional participalts whidr helps to fill the programs, such as swimming classes that trright not be firll without these participants; ) The programs and facilities have been built primarily to service the Town residents and the additional revenue from the regional partners helps to offset some of the operational cosb; and

Austrcm Consulting Ltd. SEPTEMBER 2006 Pagem ot24 29 Impact Study: N on-Resident llse on Sylaan Lake Rea'eation Fncilities I Pt'ogtans SYLVAN LAKE REGIONAL PARTNERSH!P F The recreation facilities provide a provincial destilation for such events as the Sylvan Lake Hockey School, which brings in thousands of people every sr:rrrmer, who in tum suPPort the local businesses.

There are also many benefits to Summer Village, Red Deer Coully and Lacombe County residents who are able to utilize the recreation facilities and programs that are avai-lable in Sylvan Lake, including:

F A wide variety of recreation Programs and services available dose to their place of residence; F Their children are able to participate in recreational activities with . their classnates and friends for the same fee, in most cases; ald F They do not have to travel to Red Deer for their children to I particiPate.

On a regional perspective it can also be argued that Sylvan Lake residenls benefit from recreation programs and facilities in Red Deer County and Lacombe County, including the facilities in Eckville and Bentley, and these residents do not pay any subsidy to these communities. For example, the Eckville arena has been used by Sylvan Lake minor hockey for years for games and practices, wi*rout paying arly additional fee' These facilities outside of Sylvan Lake are also utilized by the residents of the Red Deer Counlv and the Sumrner Villages.

The residents of the municipalities in the Sylvan Lake region are definitely receiwing a benefit from the Town of Sylvan Lake recreation programs and facilities. With the projected growth in the Sylvan Lake legion over tl-re next 30 years the use of these facilities and programs is likely to increase.

Although the major athaction for the dewelopers of these new subdivisions is the achral lake, tlle availability of the facifities and services in the Town of Sylvan Lake wil1 also help to athact new people to the region.

7.2 Principles of Cost Sharing Agreements

The preparation of a cost sharing agreement template is beyond the scope of this project, but it the Sylvarr Lake Parhrership is to move forward with a long term partnership that includes recreatiory the member municipalities nee-d to .xplote the options to arrive ata fair cost sharing agreemenl The AAMDC & AUMA Rurat/Urban Cost Sharing Task Force worked together over a period of two years to develop the framework for equitable cost sharing agreements. Through this process the following principles were put

Austrom Consulling Ltd. SEPTEMBER 2006

Page 21 d 24 ?3 Impact Study: Non-Resident Use ot Sylttan Lake Recreation Eacilities U Programs SyLVAH LAKE REGIONAL PARTNERSHIP forward as the basis for developing effective cost sharing agreements.

n Facilitate the building of intermurricipal agreements based on open comrnunicatio4 trust, a-nd tansparenry- . Recogtize the importance of developing good intermunicipal relationships as a basis of good agreements. . Encourage the development of a broad community vision while respecting the democratic accountability of municipal councils. r f{salizs the commibnent fiom a1l parties to negotiate in good faith. . Minirrize the opportr:nities for litigatiorr; take away the reasons for conJlict . Remain flexible and be able to adapt to emerging needs, agreements must be timely arrd reflective of the public will.

There are several factors that should be considered in arriving at an appropriate cost shadng formula to be utilized:

. Operational costs for regional recreation facilities o T Isa oe of lhp far-iliHpc hrr lhp rpcirlpnfc frnrn rhornmm.nitioc . Benefits to the residenb of both cornmunities. . Capital costs and how to deal with upgrades to existing facilities and potential new facilities . Administration of the agreement. . Dispute resolution.

7.3 Recommended Strategies to Determine a Fair and Equitable Cost Sharing Agreements between Municipalities

Regional Cost Sharing Agreements Recommendation

That all members of the regional partnership enter into recreation cost sharing agreements that appropdately reflect their usage of the recreation programs anrl facilities in the Town of Sylvan Lake

Currently the only one cost sharing agreement exisb betr^'een the Town of Sylvan Lake and Red Deer County. Both parties recognize this agreement needs to be reviewed and updated. in addition to reviewing this agieement the Town and the Summer Villages need to look at some {orm of cost sharing agreement to reflect the usage of the Town of Sylvan Lake facilities by srrrnmer village residents. Similarly Lacombe County should consider an agreement with the Town of Sylvan Lake. I

Austron Consulting Lld. SEPTEMBER 2006 Page 22 ol24 23 htpact Study: Non-Residaft Use on Sylzsan Lake Reueation Eacilities I Ptograms SYLVAN LAKE REGIONAL FARTNERSI{IP Regional Communicatlons

That an appropriate framework be established to ensure communications lines are established and maintained between the p artnerin g municipalities

One of the key principles to successful inter municipal relationships is a solid communication network and/or forum to provide for these commr:rrications. There is a need to build hust between the parh)ers to ensure the member municipalities can work together to address issues of mutual concern,

The Sylvan Lake Regiorral Partnership Committee is providing this vehicle primarily to address the need for a regional water and wastewater system. To be successful ower the long term the members of the Sylvan Lake Regional Parfirership need to establish an appropriate committee to address issues of mutual concern.

Regional Recreation Master Plan

That the Sylvan Lake Regional Partnership compleie a iecr-eation master plan to ensure the long term recreation needs of all partnering municipalities are identified.

With the growth that is projected for the Sylvan Lake region over the next 30 years the recreation needs will increase as the population increases. A11 members of the Sylvan Lake Parhrership recognize the potential for the growth around S1'lvan Lake and are willing to work together to address the water and n'astewater needs of their current and future residents. The needs of these residents for recreation and cultural services shou.ld also be addressed.

Some of the municipalities have prepared community needs assessment and recreation master plaru, but the studies related to recreation relate to the lake. Widr the projected population growth the next logical step to address the recreation needs is to complete a regional recreation master plan.

Recreation operational Costs

That the Town of Sylvan Lake continue to look for opporfunities to reduce the operational deficits of the recreation and facilities by increasing revenues and reducing operational expendifures.

The Town of Sylvan Lake, like most urban municipalities is faced with a I significant operational deficit on their recreational programs and facilities.

Austrcm Consulting Ltd. SEPIEMBER 2006 PaEE 23 o'l24 23 Impact Study: Non-Residmt Use on Syloan Lake Recreation Eacilities & Programs SYLVA}I LAKE REGlONAL PARTNERSHIP Over the past few years these costs have increased substantially u'ith tle addition of new facilities and rising costs for ufllities and insurance. The Town's recreation deparfrrent has been working to decrease these deficits tlrrough increasing revenues and reducing operational costs. There is a need to continue to reduce the operational deficit to ensure the costs to the taxpayer are mi-nimized.

7.4 Summary

The residents of the municipalities who belong to the Sylvan Lake Regional Partnership have been utilizing the recreation facilities in the Town of Sylval Lake and will continue to utilize these facilities for years to come. There are definitely benefits to these residents and their mr:nicipalities, just like there are benefits to the Town of S1'lvan Lake from these residents who utilize these facilities and support the Sylvan Lake business community.

Over the conring years as the population around Sylvan Lake continues to increase the member municipalities will need to look for opporturrities to work together to address the needs of their residents.
