Changes to the Municipal Government Act That Affect All Municipalities: IDPS and Icfs Changes to the Municipal Government Act that Affect all Municipalities: IDPS and ICFs On October 26, 2017 the Province of Alberta approved a number of amendments to the Municipal Government Act (MGA) including a requirement for all municipalities in the province that share a common boundary to develop and have in place an Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) and an Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF) by the spring of 2020. Neighbouring municipalities that have an existing IDP may also have to update their current IDP in order to comply with the new regulations. Since the date that these new regulations have come into effect, Red Deer County has been working with its neighbouring municipalities in order to develop ICFs, as well as IDPs where necessary, in accordance with the new Provincial requirements. Frequently Asked Questions: What is an Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF)? Municipalities with a common border are required to create an ICF with each other within two years of the provincial regulations coming into effect. ICFs will address the sharing of services on an intermunicipal basis. The Provincial ICF Regulations outline the requirements with respect to how municipalities deal with among other things: exemptions; duties; alignment of other bylaws; the arbitration process for creating frameworks; the dispute resolution process; and judicial review. What is an Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP)? The purpose of an IDP is to provide neighbouring municipalities with a high level, comprehensive long range land use plan for lands immediately surrounding or adjacent to another municipality such as a village, town, city or an adjacent county. IDPs provide joint policy direction for proposals for future development; transportation systems; intermunicipal infrastructure; environmental matters; coordination of intermunicipal programs related to physical, social and economic development; dispute resolution; and procedures to amend the plan. Why? All neighbouring municipalities must approve an IDP and ICF in accordance with the Alberta Government requirement outlined in the Municipal Government Act (ICF Regulations (AR 191/2017) Part 17.2). When? Regulations requiring ICFs and IDPs come into effect April 1, 2018 and are required to be completed by April 1, 2020. IDP and ICF Progress To Date Below is a list of the various IDPs and ICFs that Red Deer County has completed with the following municipalitiies: Town of Sylvan Lake Village of Delburne Village of Elnora Town of Bowden Town of Penhold Town of Innisfail Current IDP and ICF Projects Red Deer County is currently working on IDPs and ICFs with Kneehill County, Mountain View County, Clearwater County and the City of Red Deer (ICF). Each of these IDPs and ICFs are at various stages of completion but are all projected to be completed prior to April 2020. The County is also involved with a joint IDP project that involves all the Summer Villages surrounding Sylvan Lake, the Town of Sylvan Lake and Lacombe County. All draft IDPs will be made available on the County’s website once they are considered ready for public viewing and well in advance of County approval. The dates and times for public hearings will be advertised in the Red Deer County News, on the County’s website and as well as within the applicable municipality’s newsletters/newspapers and websites. Landowners within and directly adjacent to an IDP plan area will also be notified of any upcoming public hearing via referral letter. Questions? If you have any questions regarding this initiative in general or regarding any specific IDP please contact the Red Deer County Office at 403-350-2170. .

  • Alberta Custom Rates Survey : Crop and Pastureland Lease and Rental 2016
    Alberta Custom Rates Survey Crop and Pastureland Lease and Rental 2016 Economics and Competitiveness Branch INTRODUCTION This Custom Rate Survey was conducted by Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Economics and Competitiveness Branch, Statistics and Data Development Section. The data presented in this report was obtained by contacting producers and custom operators and thus represent actual charges. Please note that some instances may be “good neighbor rates” as opposed to commercial rates. The reader should be aware that varying lease and rental arrangements in different areas of the province could significantly affect the rates charged from year to year. The intent of the survey is to provide producers with additional information to help with their farm management decisions. The quality of data is dependent on the cooperation received by producers as well as commercial custom operators. We would like to thank all the survey participants who willingly provided the information for this report. If you are aware of anyone who is a custom operator that has not been contacted, but wish to participate in the survey, please do not hesitate to refer them to me. The assistance of Reynold Jaipaul, Roy Larsen, Guangzhi Liu, Melodie Mynzak, Marian Elson and Pamela Triska of Alberta Agriculture and Forestry is greatly appreciated.

  • November 4, 2020 News Release Kneehill County Donates Fire Engines to Alberta Society for Firefighters Abroad at the October 27
    November 4, 2020 News Release Kneehill County donates Fire Engines to Alberta Society for Firefighters Abroad At the October 27, 2020 Regular Council meeting, Kneehill County Council moved to donate fire engines E11 and K2 to the Alberta Society for Firefighters Abroad. The K2 is a 1986 Mack pumper that has been in storage as a spare unit, but no longer meets NFPA standards on pumping capabilities. Engine E11 is a 1999 GMC that has surpassed its NFPA front line life cycle. “With the recent purchase of new fire engines, these units are no longer needed by fire departments in the area.” said Kneehill County Reeve, Jerry Wittstock. “Council is happy to be donating these trucks to this worthwhile cause, and hopes the donation of these apparatus will assist those less fortunate with their fire safety and training.” The Alberta Society for Firefighters Abroad (ASFA) is an organization on a mission to build the capacity and safety of firefighters and emergency services abroad through apparatus, equipment and training projects. Based out of Lacombe, Alberta, the ASFA is a society made up of past and present emergency responders, community members and supporters. Their primary base of operations abroad is in Paraguay, where they have successfully made 7 significant donations to numerous fire departments. When a truck is donated through the organization, the ASFA sends enough equipment, PPE and supplies along with the donated truck so it can be in-service when it arrives. Shortly after the arrival of the truck and equipment, a small group travels down to Paraguay to train the receiving department on the use and maintenance of the apparatus and equipment.
