Meeting: Regular Council Meeting Date March 27,2017
Title: Policy Review - Repeal of Obsolete/Redundant Policies
Originated By Vanessa Connors, Legislative Executive Assistant
c.A.o Helen Dietz, CAO
BACKGROUND / PROPOSAL:
Administration is conducting a review of Town policies to ensure they are current, relevant, and accurately reflect the direction of Town Council.
The following five policies have been identified as obsolete and/or redundant as the content is covered by other documents as listed below:
1996-001 Assessment Review Board Document . The establishment, functions and proceedings of an Assessment Review Board are included in the Municipal Government Act.
2001- 002 Authority to issue 2 hour parking exemption passes. . Municipal enforcement staff have reviewed this policy and deemed it obsolete as this is no longer a practice of the Town; and any parking exceptions should be dealt with in the Traffic Bylaw.
1988-002 Shift Rescheduling 1992-001 Maternity Leave 2006-007 Yearly Drivers Abstract 2006-008 Hiring of Summer Students . These policies are redundant as the guidelines are housed in the Town Employee policy, or other Provincial & Federal employment standards.

Decision will be included in the Council Highlights and communicated on social media

TOWN OF INNISFAIL
POLICY NUMBER: 2006 - 007
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 2006
GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLIGY: Yearly Drivers Abstract Review
OBJECTIVE:
To establish a system for reviewing Employee drivers abstract to ensure that Municipal Employees, who operate municipal vehicles or equipment, maintain the level of license required for their specific job.
STATEMENT:
Those individuals operating municipal vehicles are considered professional drivers and their driving history is open to evaluation. Due diligence requires that Municipalities know who is operating a vehicle, what their driving history is and that they are qualified to do so in a safe manner.
The Town of Innisfail will annually review drivefs abstracts for all employees who operate Town vehicles or equipment. The annual evaluations will be scheduled for the fall of each year prior to annual employee evaluations.
The Town of lnnisfail will review to ensure that employees hold a valid drivers license of the required class for the position that they hold with the Town. The Town will also review for any criminal driving offences or hazardous moving violations.
The Town Employee manual Section "X' deals with the suspension of Drivers License:
Suspension of Drivefs License:
1 All employees who are required to operate Town owned vehicles as part of their job have a responsibility to report suspension of their driver's license to their immediate supervisor or Town management.
2 The following action will be taken when an employee's drivers license is suspended:
a) lf this is the employee's first suspension, the employee will be permitted to continue working for the Town. The employee will be transfened, at the same rate of pay, to a position where he/she does not have to operate a motor vehicle or a piece of equipment. The employee will be transferred back to their original position when the suspension is over and he/she has successfully completed a defensive driver's course and driver's license is re-instated.
Request For Decision - Policy Review - Repeal of Obsolete/Re... Page 20 of 181 AGENDA ITEM #6.1
b) lf an employee receives a second suspension, the employee will be suspended without pay for the length of the suspension. The employee will be returned to active duty when the suspension ends and he/she has successfully completed a defensive driving course and driver's license is re-instated.
c) lf an employee receives a third suspension he/she will be terminated as an employee of the Town.
Gonviction of a charge of a criminal driving offences or hazardous moving violations could result in similar actions to those taken for a suspended license.

LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENT / AUTHORITY:
Municipal Government Act Chapter M-26 Section 5 states a municipality has duties that are imposed on it by this or other enactments and those that the municipality has imposed on itself as a matter of policy

Title: Bylaw 1470-A45 to amend the Land Use Bylaw
Originated by: Meghan Jenkins,
C. A. O. Approval Helen Dietz
LEGISLAT¡VE REQUIREMENT / AUÏHORITY:
Municipal Govemment Act - Chapter M-26.1 Part 17 Division 5 Section 639 every municipality must pass a land use bylaw. Municipal Government Act - Chapter M-26.1 Part 17 Division 9 Section 191 (1) the power to pass a bylaw...includes a power to amend...the bylaw.
BACKGROUND:
Bylaw 1470-A45 is being presented as part of a request made on behalf of the owner (Canadian Pacific Rail) of Lot 4, Block 1, Plan 7721583 and Lot 1 &2, Plan 7618T to facilitate the expansion of the current industrial agriculture business located on Lot 3, Block 1, Plan 772 1583 (owned by Agrocorp Processing) The subject properties are located at along 54 Street, south of 50th Street directly west of the rail line and are currently vacant.
Request For Decision - Bylaw 1470-A45 to amend the Land Use ... Page 35 of 181 AGENDA ITEM #8.1
Regular Council, March 27,2017 Page2
The current Agrocorp operation takes place on Lot 3 and operates as a 'Feed mill and grain elevator' within the Highway Commercial (HV1/Y-C) District. The current operation was the subject of a previous Land Use Bylaw amendment (Bylaw 1470-A26 June 2014) to include 'Feed mill and grain elevator'as a discretionary use exclusively on Lot 3. Agrocorp is proposing to expand itsfacilities onto both Lot4, Block 1, Plan 772 1583 and Lot I & 2,Plan 7618T and requires that the use of 'Feed mill and grain elevator' be extended to include the additional parcels. Bylaw 1470-A45 proposes to add Lot 1 & 2, Plan 7618T and Lot 4, Block 1, Plan 772 1583 to the list of discretionary uses as follows:
Feed Mills and Grain Elevator on Lot 3, Block 1, Plan 772 1583, Lot 4, Block 1, Plan 772 1583 & Lot 1 & 2, Plan 76187
As part of the previous LUB amendment (Bylaw 1470-A.26) for the existing Agrocorp site, "Special Requirements" were included to address concerns regarding impacts beyondthe boundaries of the parcel. These same "Special Requirements" are proposed to apply to Lot 1 & 2 and Lot 4 and are as follows:
Feed Mills and Grain Elevator on Lot 3, Block 1, Plan 772 1583 are subject to the following conditions:
(a) Gravel surrounding the railroad tracks shall be maintained to ensure that no mud, dirt or similar material is tracked onto 50 Street; and (b) The operation of the Feed Mill and Grain Elevator shall not allow any dust to escape beyond their parcel boundaries which, in the opinion of the Development Authority, rs excesslve and adversely affects the surrounding area; and (c) No noise, or a disturbance, which may be heard in a residential building shall be created between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on any day except Sunday, and between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. on Sunday.
The Municipal Development Plan and Land Use Bylaw were amended in March 2004 to designate the lands in the area including the subject sites to Highway Commercial from lndustrial. These amendments were initiated by the Town and reflected the Town's desire to have primarily commercial uses along 50th Street. The parcels to the north of 50th Street (Esso, Purina) remained lndustrial.
DISCUSSION:
Bylaw 1470-A45 is a text specific amendment and does not change the designation of the parcels. Therefore, an amendment to the MDP is not required. lt does, however, expand the potential for more intensive use of the subject parcels than what is typical of highway commercial development. The proposed use of 'Feed mill and grain elevator' is not in keeping with the general intent of the Highway Commercial district.
The location of the parcels along the rail and the proximity to existing industrial uses on the adjacent Agrocorp lands and othèr industrial lands north across 50th Street provides support to the amendment. As mentioned the previous LUB amendment (Bylaw 1470-A26) for the existing Agrocorp site included "special Requirements" to reduce potential impacts to the 50th Street rail crossing, and those associated with noise and dust control.
Request For Decision - Bylaw 1470-A45 to amend the Land Use ... Page 36 of 181 AGENDA ITEM #8.1
Regular Council, March 27,2017 Page 3
Bylaw 1470-A45 lists 'Feed mills and grain elevators' as a discretionary use in the HWY-C district, meaning the Municipal Planning Commission will be the approving authority for any future develop on the parcels. MPC will evaluate any application with respect to the adjacent land uses, existing infrastructure and the proposed operation.
As part of the public hearing process all adjacent land owners were notified directly via regular mail, and the notice was published for two weeks in the lnnisfail Province.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. That Council approves the proposed changes by giving second and third reading to the bylaw, 2. That Council request further information before proceeding with second reading of the bylaw, 3. That Council provides direction to Administration on changes to the proposed bylaw with the amended bylaw coming before Council for second reading at a later date.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That Council approves the proposed changes and gives second and third reading to proposed Bylaw 1470-Á.45.

Originated By: Frank Colosimo P.Eng., Director of Operational Services
C.A.O. Approval Helen Dietz, CAO
BACKGROUND / PROPOSAL:
Administration is conducting a review of Town policies to ensure they are current, relevant, and accurately reflect the direction of Town Council.
Policy 2015-001 Sale of Town Owned Residential Land Policy sets out the method and process to be employed by Administration for the selling of the Town owned residential lots to prospective purchasers. The following five policies have been identified as redundant or obsolete as the content should be included in a general residential lot policy, and because site specific policies are not required:
2002-001: Policy for the sale of lots constructed on fill; 2002-001a: Policy for the sale of lots in Parkland Meadows lll; 2002-001b: Policy for the sale of lots in Parkland Meadows; 2002-001c: Policy for the sale of lots in Dodd's Lake Subdivision; 1994-001 : Sale of Property Guidelines.
Policy 2017-002 Sale of Town Owned Residential Land Policy has been drafted to replace 2015-001. The new policy includes disclosure requirements for lots constructed on fills, and repeals the site specific and obsolete policies mentioned above. Also, this draft clarifies that lot pricing is set by Council resolution, and removes the requirement for pricing schedules to be attached to the policy.
COMMUNICATIONS / CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT STRATIGIES:
Decision will be included in the Council Highlights and communicated on social media; approved policy will be added to the Town website.

Sendine on behalf of President Holmes to Mavors and CAOs
AUMA is pleased to provide you with a real-time update on the results of the 20L7 provincial budget
The budget is themed "working to make life better through building long overdue schools, hospitals, highways and bridges while reducing the growth of government spending and maintaining a responsible pan to bring down the deficit." Alberta's economy is forecasted to grow by 2.6% (Conference Board of Canada is a bit more optimistic at 2.8%), with oil forecasted at S5S/barrel. Capital spending is 532.8 billion over 4 years. Alberta will continue to have the lowest overalltax regime in Canada.
While the province indicates that municipal infrastructure spending has increased by 43%o over the 2016 budget, much of this funding is tied to federally funded programs like the gas tax fund, GreenTrip and Building Canada so is not a true depiction of what the province is investing in municipalities. Most of the actual core provincial grants to municipalities remained the same or were slightly lower than the 2016 budget.
The following is a summary of core provincial funding programs (as expressed in millions)
o MSI Operating remained at current level of 30 M o MSI Capital remained at current level of 846 M o Basic Municipal Transportation Grant is 335 M which is 35 M less than committed for 2OI7 and 25 M less than the 2016 budget (province says this is due to lower fuel sales tied to economic decline) o Strategic Transportation lnfrastructure Program is 35 M as committed for 2OI7 (announced in Budget 20L6) ¡ Community Transit Grant is 40 M (new - waiting for criteria to be released by the province) o Municipal waste water program met its committed value of 50 M (same as 2016) o Water for Life met its committed value of 55 M which is 25 M less than 201-6 o New regional drinking water for 25 M (waiting for criteria to be released by the province but have been advised it will link to lndigenous water systems) o Community Partnerships is 18.5 M (drop of 1.5 M) ¡ FCSS remained at current level of 1-01 M ¡ ALERT remained at current level of 29 M
For this year only, the Education Property tax is not calculated at a rate of 32% of education operating costs as it would haveresultedinaverylargeincrease. lnstead,theeducationtaxratesarefrozenandequatetoabout3l%ofthe education system costs. The resulting revenue will be S32 M higher due to growth in the assessment base.

Attention: News Editors For immediate release
lnfrastructure funding model at the centre of provincial budget
(Edmonton, March L6, 2017) - Today's provincial budget announcement was met with cautious optimism by Alberta's urban municipalities.
The infrastructure investments are welcome news given that the declining state of municipally- owned public infrastructure is reaching a crisis point. Significant investment from all levels of government is required to address the 526 billion dollar municipal infrastructure deficit in water and wastewater facilities, public transit and roads, emergency services, and recreation.
Roughly 85 per cent of Alberta's population lives in urban municipalities and relies on this infrastructure every day. While municipalities are responsible for more than 60 per cent of Alberta's public infrastructure, they collect only 10 cents from every tax dollar paid, with the balance going to federal and provincial governments. Alberta's cities, towns, villages and summer villages do not have the funds available to rebuild infrastructure on their own and are heavily reliant on federal and provincial grants which were often decreased over the past 10 years or did not keep pace with the growth in communities. Municipal property taxes cannot provide the level of funding our communities need to address growth and aging facilities.
Municipalities appreciate the public infrastructure investments as there is a great need for new schools and health care facilities in our communities. However, only allocating 26 per cent of the total public infrastructure budget to municipalities, who own 60 per cent of public infrastructure, will not provide a long term solution to the deficit. Although the province indicates the Budget 2OI7 provides a 43 per cent increase in municipal infrastructure, much of this funding relates to federal programs. The majority of core provincial programs have remained the same or decreased from 20L6.
For example, the Municipal Sustainability lnitiative (MSl), brought in by the previous government in 2007 to help fund municipal infrastructure projects, officially expires at the end of this month. The province's decision to maintain the MSI capital funding for another year at the current level of 5846 m¡llion is helpful but does not provide a long-term solution given the $6,300 per capita infrastructure deficit in Alberta, which far exceeds the national per capita deficit of 54,000. "The 54 billion shortfall in MSI over the life of the program is troubling to our municipalities since during this time the province collected more than S24 billion in tax revenue," says AUMA President Lisa Holmes. "Many communities borrowed against the promised amount and are left with expensive interest payments and funding gaps. We need to
t:\ r\Ái_N l !r-1,.{a.j
Correspondence & Information Page 139 of 181 AGENDA ITEM #11.1
fundamentally change the municipal funding model so that the MSI shortfall is resolved and a new approach to municipal funding is created."
AUMA is concerned that the province is measuring the sufficiency of its investments by comparing us to other provinces rather than by addressing the imbalance between provincial and municipal investments within olur own province. "Comparing Alberta's spending to other provinces who have not experienced our growth rates is like comparing the Rocky Mountains to a hill," says Holmes.
AUMA has provided the Minister of MunicipalAffairs with some suggested approaches on a new funding model. ln the recent changes to the Municipal Government Act, the province added a requirement for municipalities to provide three-year operating and five-year capital plans. "Long-term planning is vital; however, it is very challengingto develop accurate plans when the amount of provincial grants change without notice each year," adds Holmes. "We are committed to working with government to develop a new and better model that delivers sustainable and predictable infrastructure funding for years to come." ln the interim, we know that the province is doing its best to meet most of its commitments for core provincial funding in the short term.
Front line policing resources and vacancy rates continue to be one of the top issues for our local communities, especially those in runal Alberta. As Alberta's crime rates greatly exceed the national averages, municipalities were pleased that the budget provides increased resources for the court system.
"This is an important first step as it ensures that offenders can be prosecuted for their crimes rather than letting them walk away without consequence when the court proceedings exceed the 18 month time period," says Holmes. "A top priority for the next budget is to increase the front line policing resources and fill needed positions," adds Holmes. While municipal policing costs continue to rise, the per capita amount that the province contributes through its Municipal Policing Assistance Grant has remained unchanged for over five years. This is challenging considering that across Canada, municipalities pay more than 60 per cent of policing costs and are dealing with significant growth pressures.
Municipalities remain concerned about the financial impact of the carbon levy and the province's apparent unwillingness to follow the approach in British Columbia and provide a rebate to municipalities. "lt is critical that the province provides a municipal rebate and ensures a portion of the carbon levy is dedicated to supporting communities whose economies are transitioning to low carbon economic activities," says Holmes.
Municipalities appreciate that the province is investing in much needed social programs to support Albertans in need. This inclr¡des maintaining the FCSS investment, addressing homelessness and responding to the recommendations to improve our mental health and
iji\r,r¡.Llrr:\

addictions system. These investments are important to the quality of life of citizens and make a difference in the overall health of our communities.
The success of the province ís unquestionably linked to the success of Alberta's urban municipalities. lt will require a strong partnership between all three levels of government to ensure that the local communities Albertans call home are great places to live, work, and play

Budget 2017 - Working to Make Life Better The provincial budget was released on March 16th,2017. lt has the following three components within the theme of nnaking the lives of Albertans better: r Practical changes that make life more affordable for Albertans such as reducing fees in the K-Grade 12 education system, the tuition freeze in post-secondary institutions, a rate ceiling on electricity prices, and carbon rebates for lower and middle-income Albertans. o Creating good jobs and building a diversified economy by investing in modern and green infrastructure, as well as focusing on ways to help encourage job creation and economic d iversification. o Protecting and improving the services and supports that make a difference in the lives of Albertans by providinrg stable funding for health, education, income support programs and social services.
The province continues to increase the debt to S45 billion in the coming year. The debt is forecasted to hit 571.1 billion by 2A19-20 with no plan to return to balanced budgets by 2023. This year's deficit remains over $10 billion and about 5500 million less than last year's budget deficit.
Advocacy for Municipal I nfrastructure AUMA has been persistent in its advocacy to the Government of Alberta on the importance of municipal infrastructure, with repeated calls for continued provincial investment as we work towards a new, long-term sustainable funding model for municipalities. We are pleased that the province maintained its investment in MSl Capital for Budget 2017, allocating 5846 million through this envelope for rnunicipal infrastructure. The MSl funding, along with S335 million through the Basic MunicipalTransportation Grant (BMTG), (which is S35 million less than committed as a result of lower gas volume sales), a reinstated S35 million Strategic Transportation lnfrastructure Program (5TlP), and an honoured commitment to water and wastewater funding allows municipalities to move ahead with projects for the next year.

Provincial and Federal lnvestments Municipalities appreciate the investment in all types of public infrastructure, as there is a great need for not only municipal infrastructure, but also new schools and health care facilities in our communities. However, only allocating 26 per cent of the total public infrastructure budget to municipalities, (who own 60 per cent of public infrastructure) will not provide a long term solution to the municipal infrastructure deficit.
Although the province indicates that Budget2017 provides a 43 per cent increase in municipal infrastructure, a portion of this funding relates to federal transfers. For example, if whollyfederally funded programs such as the Public Transit lnfrastructure Fund (PTIF) and the Gas Tax Fund (GTF) are removed from the equation, the increase in funding to municipalities from Budget 2016 is actually closer to 300/0. This is reduced even further when the previously approved projects under the New Building Canada are removed. The PTIF and GTF do not encompass the totality of federal infrastructure transfers, and as such the actual change from Budget 2016 may be even lower. The chart below shows the change in funding from Budget 2016 to Budget 20"17 for capital grants, and illustrates that one of the largest contributors to the increase is a federal transfer.

Education Property Tax
Since 2013, the amount of education property tax has been fixed at 32 per cent of provincial education operating costs. However, in Budget 2017,the province used a ratio of about 31 per cent because of the large increase in education operating costs. Although the property tax rate was frozen (no change from prior year rates), there will be an additional 532 million in property taxes due to a growth in assessment base.
The residential/farmland rate will remain at $2.48 per 51,000 of equalized assessment and the non-residential rate will remain at 53.64.

Since 2016, municipalities will no longer have to transfer education property taxes on properties covered by the Grants in Place of Taxes (GIPOT). Through MGA amendments in Bill 21, these properties have been removed from the equalized assessment and therefore no longer pay education property tax. This change removes the need for municipalities to receive a grant from the province for GIPOT properties and remit it back to the province. This change resulted in about 0.58 per cent of the S2.4 billion education property tax requisition (about $14 million) being distributed amongst property tax payers.

However, details are still to come. For example, of the estimated 5214 million that will be invested in "green infrastructure" in 20,l7, $7 million has been allocated to the GreenTRlP program. AUMA will continue to call on the province to engage mun¡c¡pal¡ties in determining how the rema¡nder will be allocated.
AUMA is also working with the province to determine how the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre can facilitate the equitable allocation of a port¡on of the 5187 million earmarked for energy efficiency and small scale renewables in 2017 to municipalities.
ln addition, AUMA has called on the province to support municipalities impacted by the phasing out of coal-fired electricity generation, and looks forward to the release of a report by the Advisory Panel on Coal Communities in spring 2017. We hope the panel's report will provide clear recommendations on how some of the almost 5200 million budgeted to "other initiatives" in 2017 can be used to support the long-term viability of these communities.

Budget 2017 - Fiscal Plan (continued) Operating Expense
Similar to prior years, health and education and social services account for almost 75 per cent of spending.
Health's expense is budgeted at Operating Expense By 521.4 billion in 20,l7-18, with operating Ministry expense budget increasing by 3.2o/o. A key focus is shifting from hospitals and Others facilities to more community-based 26% care. Heatth Education's expense is budgeted at 4't% 58.2 billion in 2017-18. School fees will be reduced by 5S+ million per year. Community and Socia[ Advanced Education's expense is Services 6% budgeted at 56 billion in 2017-18. Tuition is frozen for the third year. Advanced Education Education cufture and rourism expense is 11% budgeted at S351 million in 2017-18 and will provide 5115 million for Community and Voluntary Support Services, including S38 million under the Community Facility Enhancement Program and $24 million in funding for Culture and Tourism infrastructure. The budget also provides 577 million in support for creative industries, including the Alberta Media Fund, and 561 million for tourism marketing and development.
Environment and Parks expense is budgeted at 5564 million in 2017-18. This provides S132 million for ongoing water management and stewardship, and includes 585 million for parks including funding to enhance the protection of the Castle Special Management area. There is 576 million earmarked for provincial environmental monitoring, evaluation and reporting, and 544 million for fish and wildlife, including support for provincial woodland caribou management and recovery as well as management of whirling disease.
Municipal Affairs expense is budgeted at S1.7 billion in 2017-18. This budget provides Sl.2 billion to municipalities through the MSl, including $335 million in Basic Municipal Transportation Grants. lt also provides S59 million for Grants in Place of Taxes and S50 million for public library services.
Correspondence & Information Page 153 of 181 AGENDA ITEM #11.1
Transportation expense is budgeted at S2.3 billion in 2017-18. This includes 5429 million for provincial highway maintenance, and 51.2 billion ín capital grants to municipalities for programs including: GreenTRlP, Strategic Transportation lnfrastructure Program, Alberta Community Transit Fund (formerly Municipal Transit lnitiatives), Municipal Water Wastewater Program, Water for Life, UNDRIP - Access to Regional Drinking Water Systems, and the federal Public Transit lnfrastructure Fund and Clean Water Wastewater Fund.
Public sector compensation for 20't7-18 is budgeted at 526.1 billion, which amounts to 55.8 per cent of total operating costs. There are increases in front-line staffing levels for schools boards and Alberta Health Services.
Conclusion While the infrastructure investments are welcome news given the declining nature of municipally-owned public infrastructure, the province's present approach does not provide municipalities with the stability they require. lnfrastructure funding, along with front-line policing resources, require long-term initiatives that provide predictable funding to communities across our province. lt is unreasonable that the province expect municipalities to complete three-year operating plans and five-year capital plans when the amount of provincial grants change, without notice, each year.
Municipalities appreciate that the province is investing in much needed social programs, such as maintaining the FCSS investment, addressing homelessness and responding to the recommendations to improve our mental health and addictions systems. These investments are important to the quality of life of citizens and make a difference in the overall health of our communities.
The success of the province is unquestionably linked to the success of Alberta's urban municipalities. AUMA will continue to work alongside government partners, pressing for more stable and predictable funding sources. This includes advocating for core grants to be statutory and indexed for growth and for municipalities to have greater revenue powers.

4.3 Lagoon Reclamation Phase 3 - Update on Sludge Removal Request for Proposal
Tagish engineering staff attended the meeting and presented an update of lagoon reclamation project to date as follows:
Background
Phase 1
o The project was started in 2013 with a request from the Town for a proposal outlining expected tasks and costs related to an Environmental Site Assessment to assist in the proposed upcoming reclamation of the Town Wastewater Effluent Lagoons. A proposal for the study, utilizing Amec Foster Wheeler (AFW) as Tagish's Earth and environmental assessment firm was submitted to the Town in October 2013. Approval of the proposal was received in December, 2013. . Work commenced in May ,2014 and the completed site assessment and options analysis was submitted in September 2014. o A Phase 2 ESA formed part of this assessment. . The completed report also discussed options and costs for sludge disposal which included: o Off-site landfills, o Off-site land application, o On and/or off-site composting operation, o No sludge removal and converting the lagoons into an environmental wetlands site.
Phase 2
a After much deliberation, a request from the Town was received in September 2015 for a reclamation plan. This plan was submitted in October 2015 and reflected the Town's decision for a final de-watering of the lagoons, producing a tender for construction of a berm to split the North lagoon, transfer of the de- watered sludge into the west portion of the divided lagoon, and other earthworks related to preparing the East lagoon for the upcoming sale of the land. a Demolition of the Sewage Treatment Facility, separate from the lagoon cell assessment, was tendered in April 2016 and the work was completed in June, 2016.

Correspondence & Information Page 156 of 181 AGENDA ITEM #11.1
o The berm, associated earthworks and sludge transfer was tendered in May 2016 and is expected to be completed in June 2017. This also includes grading of the storm ditch, storm pond, and the future Bilton lot.
Common Questions related to Phase 2
a Why was the sludge excavated and stockpiled in the current location? o The Bilton lot was required for their company's expansion and timing was a priority in this area. The development of this lot included the construction of a new storm channel to re-direct storm flow to the new storm pond. These are the main reasons the sludge was pushed up and out of the way in the north cell.
What are the sludge volumes and why did they increase? o The sludge was originally estimated in the AFW report to be 95,000 cu.m This was estimated through spot sampling. Once the lagoon water level was drawn down more data was collected and the volume was re- estimated at 110,000 cu.m. o During the Phase 2 project a significant pocket of additional sludge was encountered within the north cell, corresponding to the location of the outlet pipe. lt has also been observed during sludge removal that the cell floor was not constructed to a current day standard for a clay liner and therefore a large amount of erosion and mixing has taken place over the years. As a result of this mixing the sludge volume is now estimated at 146,000 cu.m
a What is the Clay content of the sludge? o ln AFW's original report the clay grain size content was estimated to be 20Vo or more o The current sludge pile was spot tested as part of the RFP process and determined that the clay content is estimated at 9%. This data was submitted to RFP proponent.
Why does the color of the material look like clay? o This sludge has a brown color consistency throughout (from top to bottom) and many have found that misleading, and assumed this to be excess dirt pushed into the pile.
a ls the sludge suitable for land application? o Yes, from AFW testing the sludge is still suited for land application. ln the recent RFP process land application was a method identified by some of the proponents.
o Did we over excavate the existing lagoon bottoms and is this why the volume went up?
J
Correspondence & Information Page 157 of 181 AGENDA ITEM #11.1
o The clay content has been recently tested and is estimated to be 9% of the sludge. There is a small amount of material mixing that occurs, especially due to the wet conditions but the overall increase in volume is due to the much deeper pockets encountered, not mixing of the material. o Tagish had onsite representation throughout Phase 2 and worked with the contractor to help ensure only sludge was being stripped. ln fact, work was suspended in the fall due to the wet conditions to prevent excess mixing. Work resumed in the winter to allow equipment to work on frost to aid in material separation.
Phase 3 Plan
a The Phase 3 process was started by issuing a RFP for off-site sludge removal, this process fulfills the public procurement process required for this level of project. The RFP process has closed and seven respondents have submitted in which the evaluation process is underway. a All submissions will be reviewed with AEP to ensure proposed disposal methodology is accePtable. a The significant sludge increase and correlating cost will now allow us to properly consider: o Land application both wet and dry to be used as offsite reclamation material o Onsite storage of the sludge by utilizing a future lot, this includes researching ãny modifications that can be adapted with onsite use such as blending with existing toPsoil o Taking materialto a landfill o Tagish and AFW will work with lnnisfail administration to develop the option most advantageous to the Town. a Administration will present an RFD to Councilto select a vendor and methodology for the sludge removal.
Other items discussion:
o The old gas line to the Sewage Treatment Plant has been removed and rerouted directly to the Town shops from the entrance. . A parcel of land has been set aside for a South Red Deer RegionalWastewater line emergency surge pond. Frank will be following up with the commission to discuss their desire and timing to build a surge pond. a
