CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Page 1 of 6 Page 5 of 60 Council Meeting Minutes August 25, 2020 3 CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 3.1 Council Meeting Cancellation RFD - 1436 As a policy driven organization, we are seeing less and less items requiring Council direction. With the Covid pandemic still ongoing, and the summer project season coming to a conclusion, we are not seeing many items that require Council attention. As such, Administration is recommending that Council cancel their September 8th Council meeting. RES 231-08-25-20 MOVED BY Councillor Berry that Council for Yellowhead County cancel the Council meeting scheduled for September 8th, 2020 CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 4 COMMUNITY SERVICES 4.1 Bylaw for Municipal Historic Resource Designation - All Saints Anglican Church RFD - 1431 On March 10, 2020, Yellowhead County Council approved the application for Municipal Historic Resource Designation from the Beaver Meadow & District Agricultural Society, property owners of the All Saints Anglican Church; a rural church built in 1926 near Hattonford. The Notice of Intention to designate the property was sent by Council to the property owners with a 60-day waiting period, wherein the property owners have time to deliberate the designation. This is sent as per the requirements under Section 26 of the Historical Resources Act, and as outlined in Section 8 or our Municipal Heritage Management Plan. Given the 60-days waiting period has elapsed, and the deliberation is complete with no objection voiced, Council may now pass a bylaw declaring the site a Municipal Historic Resource pursuant to the Historic Resources Act. If passed, the Bylaw will be registered with land titles against the designated property, and a certified copy of the bylaw will be served on the registered owner(s). The attached Bylaw includes: The Statement of significance of the historic resource, including a description of the historic place and its heritage value; a listing of the Character Defining Elements of the building, which determine the elements that would be protected through the designation and applicable for provincial funding for maintenance and/or repair; and, pictures of the exterior and interior of the building. At the property owners and Council's discretion, the site would then be listed on the Alberta Register of Historic Places. For more information on the Municipal Heritage Designation Process, please see the attached excerpt from the Yellowhead County Municipal Heritage Management Plan. RES 232-08-25-20 MOVED BY Councillor Lowe that Council for Yellowhead County give first reading to Bylaw 17.20 for Municipal Historic Resource Designation on the All Saints Anglican Church. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY RES 233-08-25-20 MOVED BY Councillor Giezen that Council for Yellowhead County give second reading to Bylaw 17.20 for Municipal Historic Resource Designation on the All Saints Anglican Church. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY RES 234-08-25-20 MOVED BY Councillor Russell that Council for Yellowhead County move to third reading for Bylaw 17.20 for Municipal Historic Resource Designation on the All Saints Anglican Church. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY RES 235-08-25-20 MOVED BY Councillor Berry that Council for Yellowhead County give third reading to Bylaw 17.20 for Municipal Historic Resource Designation on the All Saints Anglican Church. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Page 2 of 6 Page 6 of 60 Council Meeting Minutes August 25, 2020 4.2 Revised Bylaw for the Evansburg Cemetery RFD - 1432 On July 28, 2020 administration brought forward revised Bylaw No. 14.20 for the improvement, maintenance, management, control and operation of the Evansburg Cemetery. Council proceeded with first reading of the Bylaw, and postponed the second and third reading of the Bylaw to allow for public input. Since that time no feedback has been given to administration in regards to the changes the new Bylaw would introduce. Again, the new Bylaw clarifies Yellowhead County's ability to manage and control the cause of maintenance issues; seeking to mitigate them through the use of clear guidelines. Changes in the new Bylaw include: • Citing the Alberta Cemeteries Act where appropriate • Requirement of a burial vault or liner for full burials • Allowing for cremation urns to be added to a full burial plot after the original interment • Establishing a designated quadrant for cremation urn burial • Restriction of grave covers in the cemetery and removal of any in deferred condition • Restriction of decorations in the cemetery to eliminate easily broken items (glass, china, earthen materials) as well as decorations or designs placed on the grave beyond a five day funeral period, and • Establishing a limit to maintenance done by Yellowhead County on plots where the owner cannot be located This Bylaw would repeal Bylaw No. 21.03 attached for information purposes.

  • In June 2016, the Federal Government Created the Special Parliamentary
    ]] In June 2016, the federal government created the Special Parliamentary Committee on Electoral Reform (ERRE) to identify and conduct a study of viable alternate voting systems to replace the first-past-the-post system, as well as to examine mandatory voting and online voting. We were hardly the first group of Canadian parliamentarians to have been tasked with examining our “winner-take-all” voting system to consider its flaws. The first committee met in 1921. That committee concluded that first-past-the-post was not a viable system for any democracy with more than two parties. Ever since the 1920s, Canada's federal parliament has had a minimum of three parties, and often as many as five or six. FPTP delivers skewed results in which "majority governments" are elected by a minority of the voters. Since then, more than a dozen efforts, provincial and federal, citizen assemblies and law commissions have all recommended that the quality of our democracy, the requirements of fairness will be better served once First Past the Post (FPTP) is gone and we move to a proportional voting system. As a team of 12 MPs from all five parties in the House of Commons, with a superb staff from House clerks to Library of Parliament analysts, we set records and broke new ground in consultations. With the advent of e-consultation, ERRE pioneered public input by online questionnaire. It was not an easy or quick process, and not entirely user-friendly, yet 20,000 people used that method to reach us. In addition, thousands more submitted briefs or letters.
