BYLAW Bylaw Number: 899/20 Bylaw Name: Advertising Bylaw

A BYLAW OF THE MUNICIPALITY IN THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA, TO ESTABLISH ALTERNATIVE METHODS FOR ADVERTISING STATUTORY NOTICES.

AND WHEREAS, pursuant to section 606.1(1) of the Municipal Government Act, a council may, by bylaw, provide for one or more methods, which may include electronic means, for advertising proposed bylaws, resolutions, meetings, public hearings and other things referred to in section 606;

AND WHEREAS, Council is satisfied that the advertising method set out in this Bylaw is likely to bring matters advertised by that method to the attention of substantially all residents in the area to which the bylaw, resolution or other thing relates or in which the meeting or hearing is to be held;

NOW THEREFORE the Council of the Town of Bassano in the Province of Alberta, duly assembled, enacts as follows:

1. TITLE

1.1 This bylaw shall be known as the “Advertising Bylaw No. 899/20”.

2. ADVERTISING METHOD

REQUEST FOR DECISION Meeting: June 8, 2020 Agenda Item: 6.1

Advertising Bylaw #899/20

BACKGROUND:

Advertising Bylaw #899/20 was read for the first time on May 11, 2020 at the regular council meeting. A Public Hearing will be held on June 8th, as per section 606.1 of the MGA.

Council discussed a “Parameters of Use Policy” to align with the Advertising Bylaw. Clarification is required regarding the use/application of the bylaw.

1. The Advertising Bylaw provides flexibility for the municipality and helps reduce the cost of advertising. 2. The municipality is still required to follow notification procedures outlined in the Land Use Bylaw/Municipal Government Act. For example, if a rezoning application is received, property owners likely to be affected must still receive a mailed notice.

The only thing this bylaw does is eliminates the requirement to place a public ad in a local newspaper for two consecutive weeks. Instead, the municipality may post the ad on one or more of the mediums outlined in the bylaw.

An example when the bylaw would be used without a newspaper ad: administrative updates are made to the Land Use Bylaw. The notification would be posted through one or all the mediums outlined in the bylaw.

With this clarification, a “Parameters of Use Policy” is not required. Council may choose to amend the bylaw to state a timeline in which online postings must be made (e.g. 5, 7 or 14 days prior to its consideration by council). Discussion required.

At this time, Council may proceed to give second reading of Advertising Bylaw #899/20.

OPTIONS:

#1 – Council gives second reading to Advertising Bylaw #899/20.

#2 – That Council gives second reading to Advertising Bylaw #899/20 with amendments or direction for a Parameters of Use Policy.

#3 – That Council defers second reading of Bylaw# 899/20 to the July 13, 2020 meeting.

CAO COMMENTS: None

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN Advertising Bylaw 899/20 aligns with strategic objective 2, development permit simplification and being open for business.

REQUEST FOR DECISION Meeting: June 8, 2020 Agenda Item: 6.2

Strategic Plan – Goal 2 – Task 3 – Land Use Bylaw Amendment – Bylaw 902/20 - Proposed

BACKGROUND:

The Town of Bassano is preparing to implement the Intergenerational and Multigenerational Tiny Home Pilot Project. Phase one of the implementation includes the development of detailed business plan for the intergenerational units. Administration and Randall Communications is undertaking this work.

To support this project, the Land Use Bylaw must be amended to rezone the Community Hall lands as explained below. The rezoning process compliments the business plan and will need to occur regardless of the model that is adopted.

Amendment to Land Use Bylaw No. 845/13

Address: 622 2nd Avenue Legal Description: Lots 13 – 15, Block 10, Plan 3158AB Existing Land Use District: Parks and Recreation - PR Proposed Land Use District: Public and Institutional – PI Attachments: Bylaw 902/20

Explanation

The Town of Bassano is proposing to rezone lands legally described as Lots 13-15, Block 10, Plan 3158AB from Parks and Recreation – PR to Public and Institutional – PI, as shown in attached Bylaw 902/20. The proposed rezoning will accommodate the development of an intergenerational self-contained housing project on land adjacent to the Bassano Community Hall.

The proposed rezoning is part of a larger strategy the Town is pursuing to accommodate the needs of existing residents and attract new businesses and residents to Bassano. The intent of the rezoning is to allow an age friendly village pilot project, which could be developed under the Senior Citizens Housing use, which is a permitted use in the PI land use district.

The Community Hall is already zoned Public and Institutional. Extending the PI land use district to the three parcels adjacent to the Community Hall would facilitate the development of the intergenerational self-contained housing project, while still allowing park, community and institutional uses on the site if the housing project was ever to move to a different location.

OPTIONS:

#1 – That Council provide first reading on Bylaw 902/20 and set a public hearing date for July 13, 2020 at 6:00 p.m.

#2 – That Council defers first reading of Bylaw 902/20 to a later date.

REQUEST FOR DECISION Meeting: June 8, 2020 Agenda Item: 7.1

Public Works – Surface Improvements – 7th Street East

BACKGROUND:

A fire suppression system is scheduled to be installed at Playfair Lodge. To meet Fire Code Regulations, the upgrade must include a new fire hydrant on the corner of 4th Avenue and 7th Street, the waterline must be looped between 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue. The upgrade includes digging and replacing roughly ½ the roadway. The proposed waterline, hydrant, and road upgrade has been approved by the Town. The cost of the upgrades is the responsibility of the province. Construction is anticipated later this summer.

The Infrastructure Master Plan shows that the existing sanitary line is in fair condition as with the manholes. The CCTV video of the sanitary line confirmed this. There are no service connections on the sanitary line, thus, it does not need to be upgraded prior to resurfacing the road.

Council has the option to resurface the other half of the 7th Street block between 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue. Administration requested a proposal from InfraCor to complete this project for Bassano (see attached).

. Engineering and project management $12,312 Recommended geotechnical investigation $3,800 Projected construction costs $90,000 Project estimate: $106,112

If council chooses to proceed with the rehabilitation project, administration recommends that Gas Tax Funds are reallocated. Gas Tax Funds are to be used within two-years of their award. An application was approved to allocate these funds to the highway redevelopment project. It is unlikely that the Town will be prepared to execute a highway upgrade in the next 1.5 years.

Gas Tax Funds available: . Carry forward funds $207,210 2020 Allocation $68,985 Total funds: $276,195

Keep in mind, the Town would have to amend the Multi-Year Capital Plan and current Gas Tax Fund applications. The local road rehabilitation project may not be accepted. If the project is denied, the funds could be allocated from the Capital Plan Reserve.

OPTIONS:

#1 – The council directs administration to submit an amendment to the Gas Tax Fund for the 7th Street rehabilitation project and to consult the services of InfraCor for the project with a total project expense not exceeding $116,600. If the Gas Tax Fund application is not successful, the rehabilitation project shall be funded by the Capital Plan Reserve.

#2 – The council directs administration to submit an amendment to the Gas Tax Fund for the 7th Street rehabilitation project and to consult the services of InfraCor for the project with a total project expense not exceeding $116,600.

#3 – That Council rejects InfraCor’s proposal to provide services to support the partial road rehabilitation project on 7th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenue.

CAO COMMENTS: None

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN Water looping is a strategic project. The road rehabilitation is not defined as a priority area.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION:

The council directs administration to submit an amendment to the Gas Tax Fund for the 7th Street rehabilitation project and to consult the services of InfraCor for the project with a total project expense not exceeding $116,600. If the Gas Tax Fund application is not successful, the rehabilitation project shall be funded by the Capital Plan Reserve.

Attention: Amanda Davis, MBA Chief Administrative Officer

Re: 7th Street E Surface Improvements from 3rd Ave to 4th Ave

Dear Amanda:

InfraCor is thrilled for the potential opportunity to work with the Town of Bassano for road surface improvements at 7th Street East.

InfraCor was engaged by the Province of Alberta through the Alberta Social Housing Corporation (ASHC) to design and gain approval for the installation of a new hydrant within 45m of the main entrance of the Playfair Lodge at 315 7th St E. The approved design consists of a new underground watermain on 7th St E, from 3rd Ave to 4th Ave. The Town of Bassano has expressed interest in the opportunity to re-surface the asphalt concrete pavement in its entirety on that block as a scope addition to the watermain extension. Project Understanding The Town has concerns that the watermain installation and trench restoration may lead to differential settlement between old and new surfaces and sees an opportunity to renew the entire asphalt surface within the block. As we have not yet received confirmation from the Province regarding and extension to the scope of their tender, we envision two different approaches for the scope additions to work: a) The Province accepts to integrate the addition into one contract and arrangements are made for the conduits of payments, or b) The Province rejects adding the Town’s scope to their contract. In this case a separate contract with the same contractor will be necessary for the asphalt re-surfacing scope of work.

Proposed Scope of Work – Design and Drawings A desktop measurement of the added road surface is 840m2 as per attached Figure 1. As previously discussed with the Town, no modifications to the existing drainage, grades, utilities or its appurtenances are proposed. The design work would be minimal, consisting mainly on adapting the drawings made for the ASCH project. A second component will be to identify a cost-effective pavement structure that satisfies the Town’s expected level of service. We have recommended to the Town a soils and ground water levels investigation and pavement structure recommendation from a geotechnical firm. We trust the investment will pay for itself with an extended pavement lifespan. We have obtained a quote for the geotechnical investigation and recommendations from Lone Pine Geotechnical Ltd for $3,800, exclusive of GST. If the geotechnical investigation is not accepted, we would base the pavement specifications on the City of Lethbridge Standards for a collector road. Current drawings and specifications for the ASCH

InfraCor Consulting Ltd., PO Box 75140 Westhills, Calgary AB, T3H 3M1 infracorgroup.com

Playfair Lodge, Bassano Off-site extension to watermain, hydrant and water service Project No. 1910021 project could be modified to include the Town’s proposed re-surface work or adapted as stand-alone drawings for the Town’s scope. Proposed Scope of Work – Tendering, Specifications and Contract InfraCor has sent to the Province/ASHC a Tender package and has also requested direct conversation with the Province to discuss the possibility of merging the Town’s scope into the ASHC contract. If the Province agrees to a merged Contract, InfraCor will provide an alternate schedule in the Tender and Construction packages.

If the Province/ASCH does not accepts altering their scope; InfraCor would prepare a separate contract with the same contractor for the Town’s scope. Proposed Scope of Work – Construction Administration and Completion Either as a merged contract or as separate one, we will provide construction administration services to the completion of the work including applying the terms of the contract, construction inspections and meetings, processing progress payments and issuing certificates for completion and acceptance of work after a maintenance period. Requirements from the Town We will require the Town to facilitate information during contract preparation, to execute the contracts and have the funds available at the time of construction. We estimate the cost of the extra 840m2 of resurface to be on the ballpark of $90,000 excluding engineering fees. The cost amount will be available after the tender and selection process. We estimate a probable construction duration of a week after the waterline installation. We will direct progress payment recommendations during construction to the Town or Province or both, accordingly. The presence of the Town at the pre-construction and at the completion and acceptance inspections is recommended. Would this proposal be accepted, we suggest a walk through with the Town to confirm assumptions and identify possible drainage issues, like sags on the gutter, that would be required to be fixed before proceeding with the asphalt pavement. Project Team The same team as the one executing the ASCH project will remain for the Town scope:

 Dave Stusek, Senior Civil Technologist, PMP, will provide the liaison between the civil design team and the client. Dave will provide the design drafting support for the project.

 Fernando Lopez, P.Eng., Project Engineer will be responsible for project specifications.

 Doug Clark, P.Eng., Director of Operations, will be available throughout the project for senior technical review and to help facilitate any resources that are required to complete the project.

All project team CV’s are appended to the end of this proposal.

Land Development Manager

Dave Stusek is a Project Management Professional with over 20 years of diverse professional experience in the land development industry. He leads the Calgary land development group managing and delivering a wide variety of land and civil site development projects in the Calgary region and across Western Canada.

Dave has successfully led the growth of several land development design teams and now manages the land development team in our Calgary office. Dave excels at concept planning and driving projects to detailed design, approvals and construction. The below-listed projects are a sample of the different project categories that Dave has contributed to in recent years.

Concept Planning Artesia at Heritage Pointe A prestigious 140 acre legacy development, the final phase of Heritage Pointe, required a complete review of how water, wastewater and stormwater servicing would be managed. A great deal of analysis had to be conducted to determine the optimal water treatment solution, whether it be a new plant or an expansion to an existing plant. Ultimately, servicing was expanded and water and wastewater lines were directionally drilled under the QE2 Highway. Dave managed a Low Impact Development approach to stormwater management that resulted in a ‘net zero’ stormwater discharge from the site, and included bioswales and an integral stormwater irrigation system to each lot and common area in the development.

Re: Geotechnical Investigation Proposal 7th Street East Upgrades Bassano, Alberta

1. Introduction

Lone Pine Geotechnical Ltd. is pleased to present the following geotechnical investigation proposal for the proposed upgrades to 7th Street East, between 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue in Bassano, Alberta. Based on our project understanding, a water main, a hydrant, and the reconstruction of the entire pavement section on 7th Street East has been proposed.

2. Scope of Work

The purpose of the geotechnical investigation will be to assess the subsurface conditions below 7th Street East for the proposed upgrades. The investigation will consist of the following components:

 In preparation for the geotechnical investigation, a review of existing geotechnical reports, published geological information, and any other relevant information will be undertaken.

 Two boreholes will be drilled on 7th Street East to depths of 4 to 5 m below grade or auger refusal.

 The soil and groundwater conditions encountered in the boreholes will be logged and soil samples will be taken for laboratory testing. Standard Penetration Tests (SPTs) will be performed at various depths in the boreholes.

 At the completion of drilling, all remaining auger cuttings will be disposed of. The road surface at the borehole locations will be swept to remove all remaining soil and dust.

Unit 103, 2845 23 Street NE, Calgary, Alberta, T2E 7A4 587.998.6251 www.lonepinegeo.com Geotechnical Investigation Proposal 7 Street East Upgrades Bassano, Alberta

 Piezometers will be installed in the boreholes at the completion of drilling. Groundwater level measurements will be taken in the piezometers about 2 weeks after drilling.

 The ground surface elevations at the borehole locations will be surveyed relative to a temporary benchmark.

 Laboratory tests will be performed on the soil samples collected from the boreholes. The tests will include moisture content, plasticity, and grain size.

 A geotechnical report will be prepared and submitted. The report will summarize subsurface conditions encountered during the investigation and will provide geotechnical recommendations for the proposed upgrades.

3. Fee

Lone Pine Geotechnical Ltd. proposes to undertake the geotechnical investigation outlined above for $3,800.00 plus GST.

An invoice for 75 percent of the fee will be sent once the drilling is complete and an invoice for the remaining 25 percent will be sent with the geotechnical report. Invoices are due 30 days after receipt.

REQUEST FOR DECISION Meeting: June 8, 2020 Agenda Item: 7.2

Public Works – Surface Improvements – 1st Avenue West

BACKGROUND:

Public Works has raised concerns over the condition of 1st Avenue West and seeks to remediate the road.

Terry Schroeder, County of Newell, Brooks Asphalt, Public Works and Administration assessed the location/condition and agree that the best course of action is to tear up the deteriorated asphalt, grading a crown on the surface to direct run off, gravel it, and applying calcium chloride as a dust suppressant. It was noted that the current road structure is not built for the weight of the vehicles that use the road from the transfer site. The proposed remediation plan simply converts the road to a “gravel road”, we do not recommend re-engineering it.

The cost to rehabilitate this segment of the road is:

. Mob/demod/strip and dispose of material $11,000 Grade, shape, compact, supply and place gravel $27,000 Apply calcium chloride $18,630

Projected cost: $56,630

If council chooses to proceed with the rehabilitation project, administration recommends that Gas Tax Funds are reallocated. Gas Tax Funds are to be used within two-years of their award. An application was approved to allocate these funds to the highway redevelopment project. It is unlikely that the Town will be prepared to execute a highway upgrade in the next 1.5 years.

Gas Tax Funds available: . Carry forward funds $207,210 2020 Allocation $68,985 Total funds: $276,195

Less: 7th Street Project -$116,600 Less: 1st Avenue West Project - $60,000 (includes a small contingency)

Funds remaining: $100,195

Keep in mind, the Town would have to amend the Multi-Year Capital Plan and current Gas Tax Fund applications. The local road rehabilitation project may not be accepted. If the project is denied, the funds could be allocated from the Capital Plan Reserve.

#2 – The council directs administration to proceed with the 1st Avenue West rehabilitation project, to contract Brooks Asphalt and the County of Newell to complete the upgrades with a total project expense of $60,000. The rehabilitation project shall be funded by the Capital Plan Reserve.

#3 – That Council denies the request to complete the 1st Avenue West rehabilitation project as presented.

CAO COMMENTS: None

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN None – this is an operational upgrade.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION:

The council directs administration to submit an amendment to the Gas Tax Fund for the 1st Avenue West rehabilitation project and contract Brooks Asphalt and the County of Newell to complete the project upgrades with a total project expense of $60,000. If the Gas Tax Fund application is not successful, the rehabilitation project shall be funded by the Capital Plan Reserve.

Town of Bassano

May 28, 2020

Mayor Ron Wickson and Town Councillors,

BARRA finds itself in a financial bind at this time. We are unable to sell our product and the future is uncertain. When sales are resumed there will be a back log and it will take some time to resume our financial health.

We find we are unable to met our staffing and utility costs. Newell Regional has been approached and has given us some funding ahead of schedule.

While we appreciate the $5000 received from the Town for this year, we are in need of more support. As the Town does collect a recycling fee, we ask for up to $10,000 in addition monies.

The Depot is well used and people are still recycling regularly, keeping these items out of the Land Fill. We are providing a valuable service which the people of Bassano are paying for.

Thank You for your consideration and support.

Roger Newman – President Jan Armstrong - Secretary

REQUEST FOR DECISION Meeting: June 8, 2020 Agenda Item: 7.4

Regional Emergency Management Bylaw# 903/20 - Proposed

BACKGROUND:

In March 2020, Council approved a new Emergency Management Bylaw which fulfilled the Town’s requirements of recently approved changes in the Government of Alberta Emergency Management Act.

Since mid-2019, steps were being taken with the County of Newell and the Villages of Rosemary and Duchess, to establish a Regional Emergency Management structure which when approved, would fill the legislated requirements of each municipality.

A combined regional approach eliminates the need for each municipality to have a dedicated community specific: Director of Emergency Management, an Emergency Advisory Committee, and an Emergency Management Agency.

Details of the proposed Agreement and Bylaw have been worked out. This arrangement reflects the coordinated approach that evolved over the last five months with the regional response to the spread of COVID-19.

Discussion

The key elements of this regional arrangement are as follows.

1) Each of the key functions outlined in the Emergency Management Act would be established on a Regional basis. They would include; one Director of Emergency Management, one Regional Emergency Advisory Committee, one Regional Emergency Management Agency, and a Regional Planning and Coordinating Group.

2) Each Municipality would be directly represented on the Advisory Committee, the Emergency Management Agency, and the Planning and Coordinating Group.

3) Emergency Management Plans would be developed on a Regional basis and would include sections within that will be specific to potential situations within each municipality.

4) The proposed structure will fill each municipalities requirements that are outlined within the Provincial legislation and in doing so would eliminate the need for duplication of committees, positions, training, and related functions.

5) This will provide for a higher level of specialization available to service the needs of each municipality.

The arrangement will also provide a desired level of flexibility when it comes to potential emergencies whether they be limited to the boundaries of a specific community or larger scale events that cross municipal boundaries.

1 of 3 This regional arrangement will ensure the authority exists to declare states of local emergency and respond to and manage a range of events, be they large or small, throughout the Newell Region. As proposed, the authority to declare a state of local emergency throughout the region or within any one of the four municipalities, would be delegated to the Regional Emergency Advisory Committee. If members of that Committee are not available, then the Chief Elected Official, or any two members of each municipality may declare a SOLE for an event within their jurisdiction. The Regional Emergency Management Agency, which can be adapted depending on the nature and location of the event, will then step in to manage all events regardless of the scope or size.

The Town’s current Emergency Advisory Committee consists of five members of Council. The proposed arrangement will replace that Committee and only require one member of Council and one alternate being appointed to the Regional Advisory Committee. The Town’s appointed member (and alternate when necessary) would participate in the Regional Advisory Committee together with Advisory Committee appointees from each of the other municipalities involved.

The proposed Regional Coordinating and Planning Group is primarily a staff function that will support the Advisory Committee and ensure that Emergency Response Plans are up to date and required resources are in place to manage disaster events. It will be responsible for the administrative work involved and ensure that the partner municipalities are compliant with the requirements of the Emergency Management Act, which includes having obtained the required training.

Financial Implications

To date, this has been completed administratively. With the financial constraints all municipalities were feeling leading up to and during COVID, it was agreed that managing the agreement would be shared among the municipalities rather than seeking to hire additional support. It has been shown over the past few months that shared responsibilities are manageable.

OPTIONS:

#1 – That council give first reading to Regional Emergency Management Bylaw #903/20 with additional readings delayed until confirmation has been received of the formal intentions of each partner municipality to also proceed with the approval process.

#2 – The council request revisions to the proposed bylaw (define revisions).

#3 – That the Town of Bassano refrain from entering into a regional agreement for emergency management and that the function responsibility the sole responsibility of the town.

CAO COMMENTS: The CAO’s worked Alberta Emergency Management Agency representatives to develop the bylaw. If approved, this will help guide other municipalities in the province to move towards regional emergency management because it is one of the first agreements following the Alberta Emergency Management Act update.

The process was collaborative and included the regional Director of Emergency Management (if the bylaw is passed).

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN Goal 1 – Task 2 – Implementation of ICF – Emergency Management

PROPOSED RESOLUTION:

That council give first reading to Regional Emergency Management Bylaw #903/20 with additional readings delayed until confirmation has been received of the formal intentions of each partner municipality to also proceed with the approval process.

Newell Foundation – May 12, 2020

The Newell Foundation board appointed me to attend the annual ASCHA board meeting to be held June 2, 2020. We have two votes for our foundation. The John Brown consultation on revising and updating the Bassano Project (building a new hospital and seniors lodge in an integrated facility) was discussed. The meeting between AHS south representatives and Brown will be held by the end of the week to see if our model fits in with the repurposing goals of AHS south. When this consultation is completed, we will be presenting the updated Bassano Project to the provincial government. The bid on the Newbrook Lodge dining room expansion has come under budget so construction can start immediately. The Rotary Club of Brooks wishes to support WIFI upgrades at both Newbrook and Playfair. The provincial government has inquired about our increased cost of operations but has not indicated that help would be available. Outside visiting is now allowed at both our facilities under controlled conditions. Federal government support for staff grant of $25,000 to staff will be passed on ASAP

Municipal Affairs Town Hall Meeting – May 20, 2012 Economic Development minister Tanya Fir provided an update on the provincial relaunch strategy followed by a summary report from Dr. Deena Hinshaw regarding the latest updates to Covid 19. I asked a question on behalf of the town to Minister Fir: “Although shovel ready projects are a priority at this time, will your government commit to longer term irrigation projects in the south east region such as the Eyemore Dam and the Snake Lake off-stream storage as these projects support infrastructure development and more importantly, agriculture and food security in all of Alberta”. Minister Fir and Madu responded that there would be announcements in June regarding major projects such as these. Dr. Hinshaw was asked about the short timeline on relaunch phase one (announced on Friday before the long weekend) and the confusion that this creates.

Mayors, Reeves, MLAs, MP – Bow Valley Constituency – May 22, 2020 A concern of the town was raised with Martin Shields. We are waiting for a grant to be announced for our lagoon project and wanted Martin to follow up with the federal government department involved. The mass testing done in the Brooks region has indicated that the outbreak appears to be contained. As a result, JBS has resumed a second shift. Culture minister Aheer is promoting visits to museums and provincial attractions. We are constantly reminded that municipalities are responsible for meeting the provincial guidelines for opening facilities including golf courses and playgrounds. In Bassano, the town administration has worked with our local agencies to ensure that guidelines are being observed. We are thankful for the cooperation from our local organizations.

ASCHA Annual Meeting (Newell Foundation) – June 2, 2020 The major issues that were discussed and voted on were: Changing the name of the organization from Alberta Seniors Communities and Housing to Alberta Seniors and Community Housing – a slight change in the title to indicate that ASCHA includes members from all community housing projects regardless of age, the financial statements and propose budgets for the next year, and the fee schedule for members.

Total 174,630.15 *** End of Report *** BASSANO APRIL 2020 REPORT

During the month of April our department completed 8 hours of patrols/administration for Bassano.

With the COVID-19 our department has modified some of our operational matters when patrolling Bassano. This was done working in conjunction with the Bassano CAO for directives. Our department will limit office visits due to the COVID-19 concern. Officers will primarily utilize phone or e-mail to communicate.

Our department is primary focus when on patrol is monitoring for any COVID-19 concerns. One of these concerns consist of people possibly gathering which may result in not doing the social distancing or having to large a group. Our department will patrol playground areas as well as areas where this possibility may occur.

During this month, our department investigated three matters. The one investigation was for self isolation due to COVID-19 restrictions and for a traffic concern. The other matter was for an Animal Protection Act matter concerning cats and there well being.

These investigations were concluded no warnings or tickets issued on these matters.

There was one ticket issued for a traffic concern.

This concludes the report for Bassano for April.

Bassano’s MONTHLY MAYOR’S POLICING REPORT May 2020

Bassano Detachment “K” Division Alberta

Annual Performance Plan (A.P.P.’s) Community Priorities:

Community approved APP’s are: (1) Community engagement a) Crime Reduction rural crime

(2) Traffic

(1) Community engagement: a. School visits School closed during COVID-19 b) Live Communications. Bassano Detachment started a live reading program on Tuesdays via Facebook to connect with our community resident’s youth. Update: We have collaborated with FCSS and the Town of Bassano in helping to bring about more activities during these live sessions and information sessions.

So far, in the month of May we completed four reading sessions and one information session on “ how to become an RCMP Officer”. This will continue during the regular school year.

(2) Crime Reduction Rural/ Copper Patrols a. Rural patrols With recent Covid 19 concerns, Bassano Detachment is determined to stay on top of helping to prevent crime and be more visible in our rural areas to keep residents safe and stay engaged. Therefore, we have greatly increased our rural patrol in your areas during these unprecedented times.

Update: We collaborated with the County of Newell Safe Communities Kendra Sieben, R.S.W. to provide an informational video on Facebook on how to prevent property crime.

b. Copper theft patrols. Bassano Detachment continues its new intelligence-sharing program to help combat copper theft in our detachment area. This has helped us identify hot spot areas where we can allocate more resources to these areas and greatly increase patrols.

*A patrol consists of a minimum of 45 minutes in the said area.

c. Community relations

Due to Covid-19 concerns, our office is closed to public engagement to keep everyone safe.

This does not mean that we will not enforce the law as it comes to road safety, or stop our efforts to keep impaired drivers off the road; It just means we will be changing some of our tactics.

From: Ken Riley Sent: May 29, 2020 9:52 AM To: Christine Petkau Subject: For Town Council

I note that the town has sprayed herbicide on the vacant lot immediately behind our home (across the lane).

We are wishing our vegetable garden remain organic and do not want pesticides blowing into our yard.

If I were considering moving to Bassano and discovered the town still uses poison I would scratch my head and wonder why the place is so backward. Many many progressive municipalities in Alberta has banned the use of such chemicals. I formally request as I have previously, that the town of Bassano also bans the use of these chemicals.
