    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.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Wheatland County / Rocky View County INTERMUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 018-1011 © ROCKY 018-1011 VIEW COUNTY Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. WHAT IS AN INTERMUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (IDP)? An IDP is a plan that is jointly developed by two municipalities that share a boundary. The purpose of an IDP is to minimize land use and development conflicts, provide opportunities for collaboration and communication, and outline processes for the resolution of issues that may arise within the area of mutual interest adjacent to the shared boundary. The IDP may: • Establish how the two municipalities will work together • Address future land use, subdivision and development of land • Identify potential opportunities to co-ordinate transportation, services, and utilities across the shared boundary 2. WHAT IS AN INTERMUNICIPAL COLLABORATION FRAMEWORK (ICF)? An ICF formalizes existing collaborative work between municipalities that share a boundary. The primary goal an ICF is to ensure that neighbouring municipalities work together to achieve efficient service delivery (transportation; water and wastewater; solid waste; emergency services and recreation). As well, it provides a clear set of expectations for how conflict should be resolved if service-related issues arise. RVC is working with its neighbours to identify common services, and the best way to deliver them in a manner beneficial to residents of both municipalities. 3. WHAT IS THE LINK BETWEEN AN IDP AND AN ICF? Land use and development relies on the provision of services. In order to ensure that future and existing land uses are compatible with the services available to support them, an ICF is not complete unless an IDP is completed.

  • Upper Red Deer River Hazard Study Update Notice
    Upper Red Deer River Hazard Study Study update notice We would like to provide an update on the status of the Upper Red Deer River Hazard Study. The multi-year study started in fall 2017 and we recognize there is tremendous interest in new flood mapping products. Municipal review and public engagement for draft flood inundation maps and related technical reports is complete. In response to feedback we received, internal review of hydraulic modelling continues and revisions to flood inundation mapping are underway to reflect the impact of previously unidentified culverts. Internal review of draft flood hazard maps continues, and a new approach to mapping floodways and updating flood hazard maps is being implemented. The new approach will better balance flood adaptation and resilience priorities and provide expanded flood hazard information to enhance public safety and inform local decision-making. We are exploring future municipal review and public engagement opportunities for draft flood hazard mapping, and will provide an update when more information becomes available. The Upper Red Deer River Hazard Study is being completed under the provincial Flood Hazard Identification Program, the goals of which include enhancement of public safety and reduction of future flood damages through the identification of river and flood hazards. The provincial study was co-funded through the federal National Disaster Mitigation Program. More information about the Alberta Flood Hazard Identification Program can be found at: www.floodhazard.alberta.ca

During the Ministerial Forum, I once again raised the issue of the light weight concrete girders which we had discussed with you during your meeting with us in Dixonville this past spring. You indicated at the convention that your department would be willing to discuss the matter and possible solutions with affected municipalities. As you are aware, the County of Northern Lights has 5 affected bridges and is second only to Alberta Transportation who has 9. Two of our bridges received a 2 rating in 2017 due to the deteriorating girders. When our Council met with you in early 2018, we asked whether the department would be taking legal action against the supplier of the light weight concrete as the potential costs of repairing these bridges will be substantial in some cases. You indicated at that time that the department would not, for various reasons, be taking legal action. AT sets the standards for Local Road bridges in the province and compliance by municipalities is not voluntary. Setting the Standards comes with the · responsibility of being a leader when problems develop.
