RE: Property Tax Penalty Owner# 9085
Dear Sir or Madam: I am writing to respond to a property tax penalty that was assessed to me in January 2005. During subsequent discussions with staff at the town office I was advised to write a letter outlining my concerns.
In the fall of2004 I received a property tax statement that explained that the next penalty would be assessed on January 1, 2005 if my property taxes had not been received in full by that time. I dropped off a cheque for the full amount of my property taxes on December 31, 2005 in the drop box at the Town Office. A penalty of $165.86 was still applied to my account because my payment was late. Upon speaking to staff at the Town Office I have come to understand that the office was not open on January 151 2"d or 3'·d and that my payment would not have been 'received' 1 or processed until Tuesday January 4 ". My bank can contlrm that my cheque cleared my account on Wednesday 11 January 5 '. The issue at hand is that the Town oflnnisfail cannot enforce a penalty when the payment was late due to a delay in processing my payment. Had a staff member been at the office until midnight on December 31" or even Erst thing on the morning of January 1, they would have been able to contlrm that my payment was, in fact, delivered on time. However, due to a lack of formal process, there is no evidence of when my payment was received.
Other organizations have formal processes in place for just such instances. Income tax returns are due by midnight on April 30. Each year, Canada Post ofilces remain open until exactly midnight, stamping all those tax returns as received on time. Then the Canadian Revenue and Customs Agency can 'process' them as time permits, with conildence that they can clearly identify the timely returns fi·om the late ones. In doing so they can also appropriately apply penalties to those returns which they can be certain are late.
It is just such process that is lacking in your property tax penalty procedure. If the deadline is the end of business on the day noted, then the statement should state that and the town might want to revisit its penalty dates, since January 1''may not be a good day to have staff on hand. Alternatively if the deadline is the end of day previous, it should also state that, else residents may assume, as I did, that a midnight deadline applied.
I just received another prope1ty tax statement where the penalty appears to have been been reduced fi·om $165.86 to $65.86, although the balance reflects the full penalty. (?) That notwithstanding, it also identities that should I not 1 pay the balance in full by Janumy 1' , another penalty of 12% will be levied. Will the Town oflnnisfail will have a staff person at the town of!lce until midnight December 31 ' 1 to receive rny payment?
In conclusion, it would appear that the Town of Innis fail is attempting to levy an unenforceable penalty on my property tax account. I would kindly request that the penalty of$165.86 be reversed at your earliest convenience, and most preferably, before Janumy 1, 2006, when the next penalty is to be applied. I am available to discuss this matter in greater detail, should you wish to do so.

Farmer Rail Car Coalition and Feds settle payment details ... Today, Transport Minister Jean-C. Lapierre and Finance Minister Ralph Goodale announced the federal government has agreed to lease approximately 12,000 grain hopper cars to the Farmer Rail Car Coalition for five years culminating in a permanent transfer at the end of that period. The transfer price will be $205 million consisting of lease payments over five years totaling $65 million, a credit of $35 million for car refurbishment work to be done by the coalition and a final payment of $105 million over a further eight-year period. According to FRCC President Sinclair Harrison, "this is a historic event for western Canadian agriculture; I would like to commend the Ministers and the federal government for this decision". If the government of Canada falls, the payment process could fall with it.

No 'H5/H7' avian influenza strain detected in Alberta wild bird tests ... Testing of 796 migratory bird samples collected in Alberta, as part of a national wild bird survey, has not detected any H5 or H7 strains of avian influenza. Alberta is participating in a Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre study to better understand the presence and characteristics of avian influenza viruses circulating in Canada's wild bird population. The tests detected 77 instances of type A avian influenza commonly seen in migratory bird populations. These detections were not unexpected and contribute to the understanding of influenza viruses in wild ducks. The H5 strains, found in other provinces, were not detected in the Alberta samples. For more information, please visit http: I I www.gov .ab.ca/ acn/ 200511 /19124C93BCFE6-B5DD-DF35-C226532C015078CO.hhnl

SUBDIVISION REPORT
Council December 7, 2005 Town of Innisfail File Number: INN05405 Lot 13, Bloclt 71, Plan 032 5409 and part Proposal to create two (2) industrial of the S.W. '14 20; 35-28-W4M parcels plus a remainder parcel.
General Information
The applicant intends to create two Industrial parcels using Lot 13 and incorporating 0.232 ha from the sewage lagoon site. The referral sketch shows a utility right of way (792 1754) running through the new proposed Lot 18. The south boundary of that right of way is the original southern boundary of Lot 17 and therefore the new land coming from the sewage lagoon site is the southern most 20.28 m of the 51.84 m shown on the west boundary of proposed Lot 18.
Plans and Bylaws
The Municipal Development Plan allocates the subject land for Industrial Development. The Built Features Map (Map 2) indicates that this parcel is within the 300 m setback from the Sewage Lagoon. This will impact the type of development allowed on this parcel. Industrial uses involving the processing of food will not be allowed.
The site is designated Industrial District (I) in the Land Use Bylaw. There is no minimum parcel area requirement within this district however each parcel should maintain a 15.2 m frontage. Proposed Lot 17 is intended to have a 106.68 m frontage and proposed Lot 18 is intended to have a 51.84 m frontage and therefore both parcels exceed this requirement. Lots within the Industrial District (I) shall also maintain a front yard requirement of 9 m, a rear yard of 6 m and a side yard of 6 m as there is no lane provided in this area. These setbacks will be imposed during the development stage
The utility right of way, if left in place, will constrain future placement of buildings on proposed Lot 18. This right-of-way is proposed to be relocated to follow the south boundary of Lot 18.
Excavated materials have been placed on the S.W. '14 20; 35-25-W4 without Town approval. This unapproved use must cease and the stockpiled materials must be removed or otherwise relocated.
Municipal reserves are not required as they have already been provided in this area.

Hon. Guy Boutilier Minister of Environment #423, Legislature Building 10800- 9ih Avenue Edmonton, Alberta T5K2B6
Dear Hon. Boutilier:
RE: SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Town of lnnisfail supports and applauds the Government of Alberta for moving forward in developing a management plan for the Red Deer River and South Saskatchewan River Basins.
The Plan however has a number of items which are of great concern for the future of the Red Deer River Basin. The issues range from the volume of water available for allocation to the disparity with the other sub-basins in the region.
It is important to the future of all the municipalities in the Red Deer River Basin and the Province of Alberta to ensure that water will be available for the communities and a healthy aquatic environment.
Because of this it is requested that South Saskatchewan River Basin Plan be put on hold until the Minister of Environment, MLA's of the Red Deer River Basin, Premier Klein and the Mayors I Reeves of the 68 communities in the Red Deer River region meet and discuss the plan.
I look forward to meeting with you on this matter.
Sincerely,
Ken Graham Mayor, Town of lnnisfail

Dear Sir:
RE: SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Town of lnnisfail has reviewed material in regards to the South Saskatchewan River Basin Plan and has the following comments for your review:
1. Volume of Water for Allocation
The total amount of water for allocation in the Red Deer River Sub-basin for use in the Red Deer River sub-basin should be 55% of the medium annual flow or 868,460 dam3 but net consumption to be limited to 40% of the median flow. There should be a mandatory review when water allocations reach 40% and 45% with regards to the aquatic environment and reliability of licenses. The mandatory review shall involve the Watershed Planning Advisory Council for the Red Deer River Basin, including representatives of Municipalities.
2. Healthy Aquatic Environment To maintain a healthy environment it is recommended that the Crown reservations not exceed 45% of the median flow. The potential uses of Crown reservation water to be the same as those for the Bow and Oldman, particularly for the aquatic environment and innovative initiatives with a very low net use of water.
3. Dickson Dam Operations
A Clear policy should be implemented indicating that the first priority for the operation of the Dickson Dam is to provide for a minimum year round release of 16cms.
It is the Town of lnnisfail's recommendation that the South Saskatchewan River Plan Policy be put on hold until there is a clear discussion with the communities and MLA's on the subject to ensure that a complete review of the Red Deer River water allocation is made. The concept of 55% for water allocation and 45% for healthy aquatic environment is achievable with strong partnership with the municipalities in the region. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Tim Ainscough, Director of Operations at the Town of lnnisfail.
Sincerely,
Ken Graham Mayor, Town of lnnisfail
