Lac La Biche County CONNECTED TO GLOBAL MARKETS Lac La Biche County benefits from vast agricultural resources including low cost grazing lands and flat crop lands in the southern region of the county. Agriculture in the County has grown significantly since 2011 seeing maJor increases in the amount of acres of wheat, canola, barley and oats. Cattle and calves saw a 18% increase hitting a total of over 20,000 head in 2016. The Lac La Biche region has the “Northern Advantage” for growing Industrial Hemp for seed and fibre. The global market demand for Hemp fibre is trending up and with the longer days in late spring and early summer the same hemp variety can grow much taller plants and produce 20-30% higher yields of stalks than in southern regions. Lac La Biche County is a logistics hub that serves all industries. The County is served by Highways 35, 55, 63, and 881 which reach provincial, national, and international markets. The regional airport has an all-weather 1,765 m paved, lighted runway, fiXed wing aircraft and helicopter charter. CN provides rail transport through Lac La Biche County, which offers opportunities for rail-spurs.

Attachment “A” Council Base Pay and Per Diem Discussion January 26, 2020
Attachment “A” Council Base Pay and Per Diem Discussion January 26, 2020 The one principle that Council established at the December 8th meeting is that that they still want to be paid Base Pay and Per Diems as opposed to a flat rate. The rates still need to be decided as does what will be included in the base pay. 1. What is included in Base Pay? Before Council sets a Base Pay fee, it is best to determine what is included in base pay. Council may want to take in consideration when making a decision that: There is a clear transparent definition of what base pay is in the policy. That mileage still gets covered for functions that Council lists as base pay. Below are a few snippets from other municipalities regarding Base Pay. Mountain View County Municipality of Crowsnest Pass Lac La Biche County Cypress County 2. Base Pay Council may want to take in consideration when making a decision that: Does Council still want to receive annual Market Adjustment? A large percentage of municipalities have the COLA adjustment in their policy. Some pay per market. A disadvantage to this is that you have to find municipalities that are comparable and figure out median rate. This may prove difficult as most municipalities pay differently and what is included in pay is different as well. Administration has created a spreadsheet (like the one finance used for tax rate) to plug in percentage of deduction and it will calculate annual savings. Morinville 3. Per Diem Amount Council may want to take in consideration when making a decision that: Council meetings be considered to be ½ days when the meeting is less than 4 hours.
