    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.

    2020 08 19 RFD Re PREDA Funding

    TOWN OF PEACE RIVER Request for Decision To: Mayor & Council Date: August 19, 2020 Presenter: Christopher Parker, CAO Prepared By: R. McCuaig Topic: Proposed PREDA Membership Fee Change File No.: 64/111 Attachments: Rate Comparisons Issue Peace Regional Economic Development Alliance (PREDA) has passed a motion to make changes to their fee structure. The Town of Peace River has been invited to present a Special Resolution at the September 18, 2020 Annual General Meeting to propose an alternate fee structure. Background On July 27, 2020, Administration presented Council with PREDA’s proposed resolution and provided some suggested alternate models. Council’s decision was that PREDA consider additional funding options – instead of a singular per capita option – to be presented to the PREDA members to vote on. PREDA has since adopted a funding model of $.75 per capita. PREDA has invited the Town to propose alternate funding models via Special Resolution. Any proposed funding model must: 1. Be revenue neutral in that it must provide the budgeted funding level of the per capita model. This funding amount is currently $56,767.50. 2. Accommodate an agreed cap on contributions by the County of Grande Prairie. This cap is set at $17,000. Administration has prepared two alternate funding models which meet these requirements. Current Model The existing funding rate was based on anticipated funding from other levels of government. This funding has been reduced. The rank rating reflects the proportion of cost burden borne by that municipality. Current
