RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Brazeau County Council agree to apply the exemption as outlined in Ministerial Order MSL:047/18 from the requirements of Section 631 of the MGA as both Clearwater County and Brazeau County have a common boundary composed entirely of federal or provincial crown land.
1. TOPIC DEFINED
Recent changes to the Municipal Government Act required all municipalities to create intermunicipal collaboration frameworks (ICR) and intermunicipal development plans (IDP) with their neighbours. Municipal Affairs recently issued Ministerial Order No. MSL: 047/18 which exempts parties from the requirement to create an IDP where the entire area along one or both sides of the common boundary between the parties is composed entirely of federal or provincial Crown land.
Municipal Affairs requires all parties to agree to apply the exemption by council resolution and be filed with the Minister within 90 days of the date the resolution is passed.
We have recently been contacted by Clearwater County to agree to apply this exemption for our shared boundary with them and as such recommend Council make the resolution as worded above. Administration will forward the resolution to Clearwater County and once their council has done the same, both will be filed with the Minster.

RE: Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework/lntermunicipal Development Plans
With the Modernized Municipal Government Act(MMGA), the Province has prescribed that municipalities create and adopt Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF) agreements and associated Intermunicipal Development Plans (IDP), required to be completed by April 1, 2020. ICFs are intended to highlight and formalize existing collaborative work and provide a forum for neighbouring municipalities to work more closely together to better manage growth, coordinate service delivery and optimize resources for citizens. Although Clearwater County and Brazeau County do share a common border, the two municipalities do not share any of the mandatory services required to be discussed in an ICF, and the land between the municipalities is "green zone".
Council and Administration considers the development of an ICF/IDP in this instance to be a waste of municipal resources, and at their July 24, 2018 meeting Council directed Administration request Brazeau County's support to seek an ICF/IDP exemption from the Minister of Municipal Affairs, as per section Municipal Government Act s. 708.28(4)(b). Thank you for your consideration of this request. Please feel free to contact me at mhaqanfSclearwatercountv.ca or 403-845-4444, or the County's CAO Rick Emmons, at [email protected] to discuss further, advise that you wish to support the exemption or alternately move forward with ICF/IDP creation.

Reeve Bart Guyon Brazeau County PO Box 77-7401 TWP RD 494 Drayton Valley AB T7A 1R1
Dear Reeve Guyon,
As you are aware, recent changes to the Municipal Government Act vj\\\ require all municipalities to create intermunicipal collaboration frameworks (ICF) and intermunicipal development plans (IDP) with their neighbours. This work reflects our mutual priority of ensuring all Albertans benefit from the efficient delivery of local services and effective co ordination of development, and I am pleased to see the progress already made.
The two-year period set out in legislation to accomplish this task is challenging, but I am confident the existing legacy of intermunicipal co-operation has placed us in a position to be successful. I am nevertheless aware of some specific challenges that can be addressed at this time, and gratefully acknowledge the practical solutions that have been proposed during discussions with the municipal associations, the administrative associations, and municipalities.
As a result of these discussions, I have signed Ministerial Order No. MSL:047/18 (attached), which makes the following changes:
• Exempts parties from the requirement to create an IDP where the entire area along one or both sides of the common boundary between the parties is composed entirely of federal or provincial Crown land. This change recognizes the limited value in the creation of an IDP where development is restricted. • Extends the timeline by one year (to April 1, 2021) for all ICFs and IDPs between municipal districts, special areas, improvement districts, or rural specialized municipalities. This change will allow rural municipalities to focus their efforts on working with their urban neighbours during the initial two-year period.

• Extends the timeline by one year (to April 1, 2021) for all ICFs and IDPs between municipalities that are members of the same growth management board (GMB). This change will allow GMB member municipalities to harmonize their ICFs and IDPs with their growth and service plan, and provide an opportunity to address through an ICF or IDP any matters not addressed in a growth or servicing plan. • Extends the timeline by one year (to April 1, 2021) for all ICFs and IDPs between a municipality that is a member of a GMB, and a municipality that is not a member of the GMB, but is located within the boundaries of the member municipality. This change will allow GMB member municipalities to create their ICFs and IDPs within the context of their growth and servicing plan.
In each case, all parties to a framework or plan must agree to apply the exemption or extension by council resolution, and the resolution must be filed with the Minister within 90 days of the date the resolution is passed.
In the event other circumstances arise that are beyond your control, I will consider specific requests for an exemption or time extension. However, based on the importance of this work to all Albertans, I encourage you to make every effort to work with your neighbours and to meet the legislated timelines.
I trust these changes will provide some practical efficiencies as we work toward improved intermunicipal solutions.
Sincerely,
/Ay/ViVi iv-c-v

TOPIC DEFINED Executive Summary/Key lssue(s)/Concepts Defined: During the Annual General Meeting on June 2018 the matter of oil activities on County land was brought up for discussion. The notes taken from the meeting to document the questions asked are as follows: Linear oil wells on county land do we have outstanding that are not being paid? If you get new oil companies what are you going to propose to them to get your money? City of Med Hat use a bond. At the July 3"^^ Regular Session of Council, the following motion was made to address these specific concerns: 0733/18-07-03 Moved by M. Gressler that based on the comments received at the AGM, Administration bring back for review bonds and monies taken from oil companies for the August 21, 2018 meeting. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Administration reached out to Medicine Hat to inquire on obtaining more information about the types of bonds taken from Oil & Gas lease operators. The response received was "the City of Medicine Hat does not require a bond from wellsite operators at this time". To look further into the question at hand, an email was sent to the majority of Alberta's Rural Municipalities as a form of informal survey. The question was asked whether any of those municipalities required Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision - Oil & Gas Information Page 1 of 2 46 operators to submit either bonds or securities when entering into a lease agreement with a municipality, specifically to protect against an operator being unable to reclaim a well site. None of the responses have indicated taking securities for the reclamation of wells. However, some municipalities have indicated that they do take securities for potential damage to roads. Alberta does have an Orphan Well Association (OWA) which is a non-profit organization. The Orphan Well Association is funded primarily by the oil and gas industry itself. Industry funds the majority of the costs incurred by the OWA through an Orphan Fund Levy. The Alberta Energy Regulator(AER) collects a levy from operators specifically for abandonment and reclamation, and passes those funds to the OWA. Companies which do not pay the levy are added to AER's Debtor Registry, a public list of companies owning funds to AER, with details of the amount owing. If a company goes bankrupt or becomes defunct, AER will order any part owners or the site still functioning to abandon and reclaim the well. When there are no part owners AER gives the OWA the authority to take on the abandonment and reclamation works. However, OWA does not become the owner of that well site. Leases that are on County land are billed yearly, and the leasing fees are reviewed and renegotiated every 5 years. Information about orphaned wells taken from www.orphanwell.ca and www.aer.ca Relevant Policy: N/A Strategic Relevance: N/A 2. RESPONSE OPTIONS Option Analysis a. That Council accepts the report detailing - Administration will continue processing Oil & abandoned well reclamation and leases Gas activities per current policy. on County owned land as information. b.

If Brazeau Council is not amenable to supporting the co-hosting of this conference, we would like to provide that information to the ADOA board by the end of August. Normally, a 'handover'to the next hosting committee is done after each conference, held at the end of September. Below is funding information provided by previous hosts of the ADOA conference. Year Funds from Hosting Other Municipai Total cost Hosting ADOA Municipality Sponsors (total) of Hosting Lac La Biche 2013 $30,000 $35,000 $1,500 $56,234 Canmore 2014 (30^'') $51,773 $13,750 Included in left $101,015 Slave lake 2015 $39,996 Not Provided $9,225 $38,049 Lloydminster 2016 Not Provided Not Provided $5,000 $50,738 Westlock 2017 $25,000 $2,000 $3,851.70 $41,026 Wetaskiwin 2018 $25,000 $15,000 $2,500 $45,987 Averages $34,353.80 $16,437.50 $4,415.34 $55,508.16 From the above chart,the average cost of hosting is $55,508. A minimum contribution of $25,000 can be counted on from the ADOA itself. Averaging the numbers provided gives an average of $16,437 contributed by the Host community to the funding of the conference. The organizing committee estimates a contribution of $15,000 would be sufficient. As joint hosts, this contribution couid be split between the Town and County. Sponsorship of the conference can also be sought from consultancy firms, service providers and local businesses in return for promotion during the event. A representative of the committee organizing the 2018 conference in Wetaskiwin has provided some information on time involved. There are three of Wetaskiwin's staff working on the project, 1 member from Millet, and 2 members from the County. The majority of the task load has been handled by the members from the Town of Wetaskiwin. Requests for sponsorship were distributed in January, with responses expected by March 2018.The representative providing the information had tallied spending 40 hours to date,from Sept. 2017- August 2018, on the project. With this information we would expect that a committee of 3 for the 2019 conference would each deliver approximately 60 hours from September 2018 to the conclusion of the conference in 2019. This is an average of 5 hours, per month, per committee member. However, in practice those hours spent will be weighted towards the end of the timeline as the event approaches. At this point, the organizing committee has booked the Mackenzie conference center as a venue, as well as requested rates for conference attendees from local hotels. The Mackenzie Centre was chosen for being a central point and funded jointly between both Brazeau County and Drayton Valley. The organizing committee has been granted the hail booking free of charge. AN other services shall be at the standard rate. If approved for hosting, one of the center's usual caterers will be chosen to provide refreshments and meals, again so as to minimize cost. Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision - Alberta Development Officers Association Conference 2019 - 18M-008 Page 2 of4 49 Conferences in past years have included keynote speakers, breakout sessions of various topics, and tours of local interest points. In Lloydminster a tour of a manufactured home construction facility was offered. Lac La Biche provided a boat tour of lakeside development, and Westlock showcased their new Meditation Centre. To best show the Brazeau County/Drayton Valley area, it may be possible to showcase the Brazeau Dam,the Bio-Mile or the Blue Rapids recreation area. A silent auction of donated items is also customarily held, with proceeds going to a local charity of the organizing committee's choosing. Promotion of Brazeau County If approved to help coordinate the 2019 ADOA conference, staff would like to arrange for tours of County highlights such as the Brazeau dam,the Cynthia SAS, and possibly a nature tour of the Eagle Point Blue Rapids Park. Showcasing our camping and park amenities hopefully will entice conference attendees to return to the Brazeau area with their families for recreation. Hosting an event at the Drayton Valley Gold Club or at Wiley West Campground, both located within the county are options to be explored. The committee is also interested in sourcing local entertainment for the Dinner. Sponsorship of events will be in return for advertisement, which will help local companies become visible to a wider audience. Included in Appendix A is the standard 'perks' for each of the sponsorship levels. Relevant Policy: N/A Strategic Relevance: To promote the Brazeau County/Drayton Valley area and professionalism. RESPONSE OPTIONS - // Analys'S:-; \ a. Council approves staff - Allows the organizing committee to be certain of recommendation support for the 2019 co-hosting. b. Council rejects the request as - Notification of the decision will be given to the Town submitted of Drayton Valley and the ADOA board of directors. 3. IMPLICATIONS OF RECOMMENDATIONS Operational: Some organizational tasks will happen during office hours. However with the tasks being divided amongst committee members and spread over a year, the time spent should be an average of 5 hours, per month, per committee member. In the month immediately prior to the conference, this might go up to 10 hours a week (2 hours per day), and one or two full days of staff time to set up. Up to this point all coordination has been done on personal time. Total time required over the year is estimated to be 60 hours, per committee staff member.

The NASP was adopted in June 2016 and incorporated into the Rocky Rapids ASP. The subdivision application for Twin Ravines Phase 1 was submitted in May 2016 and received conditional approval in June 2016. The conditional approval was provided to the Developer at that time. In March 2017, the first digital copies of the engineering reports for municipal services [being the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA), Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP), Sanitary Services Management Plan (SSMP) and Water Distribution Plan (WDP)] were received from the Developer and provided to Public Works(PW) for review and comment. In June 2017 comments and requested changes from PW were provided to the developer. In December 2017, the updated engineering reports were received from the Developer and forwarded to PW for comment. PW met with the Developer to discuss the engineering reports in February 2018. Throughout the winter and spring seasons County staffing and processing changes in both PW and Planning & Development(P&D) have contributed to timeline extensions. The Twin Ravines - Phase 1 development has now been assigned to specific staff for management and completion. It is hoped that this project will move forward in a timely and orderly fashion.

TOPIC DEFINED Executive Summary/Key lssue(s)/Concepts Defined: In 2015, Brazeau County was updating its Land Use Bylaw and in doing so also reviewed the zoning of many properties. Since several land use districts were being consolidated and new ones created, Brazeau County updated the zoning of many properties. Bill Tatlow and Lorna O'Carroll, landowners of Lots 31-34 Block 2 Plan 1989 KS within the Hamlet of Cynthia, received a letter notifying them that their property would be rezoned from Urban Reserve (UR) to Hamlet Residential (HR) since they had an existing dwelling on the property. Unfortunately, due to the size of the project and the many properties undergoing a similar process, the Tatlow and O'Carroll property was not rezoned and remains UR today. While seeking compliance for their property, they were made aware of their UR zoning and since their property should be zoned to HR, Administration is bringing forward this rezoning. The rezoning are is a total of 0.38 acres (four 0.095 acre lots) and would be consolidated into one parcel to bring the existing manufactured home into compliance. The subject lands are located within the Hamlet of Cynthia and access onto 49 Street. The proposed rezoning meets the requirements of the County's Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and Cynthia Area Structure Plan (ASP), and as such Administration recommends approval of First Reading. Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision - LUA 18A-009 Bylaw 1000-18 Page 1 of 2 57 The proposed Bylaw was circulated to internal departments, external agencies and adjacent landowners for review and comment. No concerns were received. Relevant Policy: The proposed rezoning complies with MDP policies promoting higher density residential development in hamlets and complies with Cynthia ASP policies for residential uses to occur on the subject lands. A full list of policies can be found In Appendix E. Strategic Relevance: Would bring an existing residential site into compliance and confirm MDP and Cynthia ASP policies that encourage residential development in hamlets.

SUBMITTED BY: Shannon Campbell, Planning Technician ENDORSED BY: Matthew Boscariol, Manager of Planning & Development^|j|j REVIEWED BY CAO: OjA). FILE NO: 18a/06 Report/Document Attached X Available Nil RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council approve Second and Third Reading of Bylaw 998-18 amending Land Use Bylaw 939- 17, rezoning a portion of Pt SE 25-47-7-W5M (subject lands) from Agricultural (AG)to Agricultural Holdings (AGH). 1. TOPIC DEFINED Executive Summary/Key lssue(s)/Concepts Defined: An application for subdivision has been received to subdivide Two (2) parcels of approximately 4 ha (10 ac) each from the quarter section of SE 25-47-7-W5M. Currently this is an undivided quarter section and these two parcels will be the first out. The proposed lot layout will encompass an existing homestead and create one vacant residential lot. The application for subdivision cannot receive conditional approval until the lands are rezoned to accommodate the size of the proposed parcels. As such, this application is to rezone the subject lands from AG to AGH, as shown on Schedule A of Bylaw 998-18 (please see Appendix C).

NW 9-48-7-W5M from Crown Land (CL) to Direct Control (DC), as shown on the attached Schedule A, and that the Public Hearing for Bylaw 994- 18 be scheduled for September 18, 2018 at 10:45 am. 1. TOPIC DEFINED Executive Summary/Key lssue(s)/Concepts Defined: An application has been received to redistrict Pt. NW 9-48-7-W5M from CL to DC, in order to allow for the expansion of an existing gravel operation and the continued use of a portion of the lands for grazing and oil and gas activities. The subject lands are south of Highway 620, east of Range Road 75 and adjacent to the North Saskatchewan River. The surrounding lands are Agricultural, Natural Resource Extraction and Processing or Crown Land and the uses include grazing, oil and gas, resource extraction and processing, and residential. The closest residence is approximately 500 m away and Greenwood Estates is approximately 1,500 m away. The proposed haul route will be via the existing lease roads northwest entering onto Range Road 75 then onto Highway 620. Along this haul route is the Greenwood Estates subdivision, larger country residential subdivisions and agricultural lands. The current operation (Phase 1) is on the parcel to the north of the subject lands and encompasses 7.49 acres (3.03 ha). The DC Bylaw would accommodate Phases 2-4, a total of 17.46 acres (7.07 ha) and the remainder of the subject lands, 39.41 acres (15.9 ha), would remain being used for grazing and oil and gas activities. A summary of the proposed development can be found in Appendix E and F. Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision - LUA 18A-007(Bylaw 994-18) Page 1 of 2 98 The proposed DC Bylaw divides the subject lands into Development Cells A and B. Cell A allows for many of the same uses found in the Natural Resource Extraction and Processing District, including outdoor storage, contracting services and natural resource extraction and processing. Cell B allows for many of the same uses found in the CL District, including agricultural extensive and intensive, outdoor storage and contracting services. If redistricting to DC is approved, the applicant would then apply for a development permit to expand the existing aggregate extraction and processing operation. Council is identified as the Development Authority within the DC Bylaw and would review and issue all development permits for the subject lands. Relevant Policy: LUB 939-18 and Municipal Development Plan 770-11. Strategic Relevance: Supports the development of natural resource extraction industries in an appropriate location while mitigating the impact to surrounding natural areas. 2. RESPONSE OPTIONS Option Analysis a. Council approves staff - Rezoning of the property carries, ailowing future recommendation Development Applications upon this land to be processed as Direct Control b. Council rejects the request as - Council deems that the rezoning and/or uses listed in submitted the Direct Control District as proposed is not appropriate for the lands. 3.

NW 9-48-7-W5M Proposed Land Use Direct Control District: Applicant: Border Paving File Number: 18A-007 Summary of Proposed Development Border Paving has applied to rezone Pt. NW 9-48-7-W5M from Crown Land to Direct Control to accommodate the expansion of an existing Natural Resource Extraction and Processing operation and continue the grazing and oil and gas uses on a portion of the lands. If the Direct Control Bylaw is approved. Broder Paving would be required to submit a development permit to continue developing the existing Surface Materials Lease (SML) 030036 as an aggregate extraction and processing operation. This development permit application has not been submitted vet. The lifespan of this SML is estimated to be 10 years and encompasses 10.8 hectares(26.7 acres). The remainder of the subject lands 15.9 hectares (39.41 acres) would remain being used for grazing and oil and gas. The development and general operation would include four phases of stripping soil and overburden as required, extraction, screening, and crushing of raw aggregate, stockpiling of processed aggregates, asphalt production and storage and progressive reclamation. Extraction, loading and aggregate processing on site will be completed using a combination of excavators, wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks and an aggregate crusher. Hauling of the finished product will utilize various truck and trailer configurations. Aggregate washing operations are not planned for this site. The North Saskatchewan River is located approximately 400-800 metres east of the site. Due to this proximity, a 3 metre buffer will be placed along the entire SML boundary, in addition, a 30 metre buffer will be placed around the back channel of the North Saskatchewan River and related wetland. No operation will occur within this 30 metres, including no clearing of vegetation. The amended Water Act approval has been obtained to meet the new reclamation plan, resource removal and pit-to-pit dewatering. Historical Resources Act approval has been granted. The end land use of the site will be a permanent shallow open water wetland with design incorporation or open water, emergent, and riparian zones with integration of the wetiand into a surrounding naturally revegetated, forested upland wildlife habitat. Hours of Operation 7:00 am - 7:00 pm - 7 days a week. Potential for 24 hours a day 7 days a week on occasion. No operations between January 15 - April 30 due to being within a key wildlife and biodiversity zone. Haul Route The haul route for gravel trucks from the pit will be via existing lease roads northwest entering onto Range Road 75 then onto Highway 620. 113 appendix "F" Proposed Operations Map Appendix 3 Border Paving Ltd.

TOPIC DEFINED Executive Summary/Key lssue(s)/Concepts Defined: A comprehensive Request for Proposal (RFP) for banking services to address the County's business needs was issued in June 2018. The current 3-year contract for banking services with TD Commercial Banking expires September 30, 2015. The sole purpose of this RFP was to tender the day-to-day banking service of the County for the period of the next 3 years. The long term and short term investment decisions are always subject to market condition, availability of funds, future requirements of funds and are not tied to one financial institution. The Request for Proposal was issued in June and closed on July 3, 2018. An addendum was subsequently issued to all proponents to address additional questions. Proposals were received from six (6) proponents. One of the proponents did not provide all the required information as per the RFP and its proposal was not considered as part of the evaluation process. Proposals were evaluated by the Corporate Services Department according to evaluation criteria set out in the RFP, which includes knowledge of County business, ability to provide services, expertise in providing required services, pricing, quality of proposal, communication process, innovative ideas and value added services. Pricing and ability to provide the services required were major criteria in the evaluation process. The total evaluation scores are summarized below: Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision - Banking Service RFP Page 1 of 3 132 Respondent Score (Max 100) Proponent A 82.00 Proponent B 80.00 Proponent C 79.00 Proponent D 78.00 Proponent E 65.00 (Note: Evaluation scoring is on the basis of personal assessment only and not subject to any standard process, criteria or benchmarks) Proponent A, B and C were invited to present their proposal and discuss various products and services they could offer Brazeau County. TD Bank (Proponent A) has proposed the interest rate on daily balances in the general account at the rate of Prime less 1.65% (The current prime rate is 3.70% so the effective rate for daily balance will be 2.05%). Banking services have evolved over the last couple of years and service was also one of the main criteria in decision making. TD is offering more innovative products and is better known for its service quality in the market. TD has been the County's existing banking service provider for the past 6 years. Administration will also be working with the bank to implement payment by credit card as directed by Council. Transition to a new service provider results in additional transition costs, part of which is covered by most of the service providers. In addition to the financial cost, it also requires the execution of a number of service agreement changes with bankers, Interac provider, vendor information change and customer PAP information changes, which will involve a substantial amount of staff time and commitments. Looking to the evaluation scoring of the financial institutions, cost benefits analysis, customer service and past business experience, we recommend that Council approves and award the banking service contract to TD. Relevant Policy: FIN 2- Purchasing Policy Strategic Relevance: As per the FIN 2 policy, banking services must be tendered every three years. The existing service was tendered in 2015 and the 3-year term expires on Sept. 30, 2018. The awarding of a new contract for banking services will ensure compliance with the Purchasing Policy. Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision - Banking Service RFP Page 2 of 3 133 2. RESPONSE OPTIONS Option Analysis a. Council approves staff - A banking services agreement will be executed with recommendation TD Bank to procure banking services for a period of three years. b. Council rejects the request as - Council can approve and award the banking service submitted RFP to a different proponent mentioned in paragraph 2 of this RFD. IMPLICATIONS OF RECOMMENDATIONS Operational: Advise the proponents of the outcome of their proposals and complete the formal procedure with the execution of the Banking Service Agreement. Should Council not choose to go with Administration's recommendation and directs staff to execute a banking service agreement with one of the other proponents there will be significant staff time involved to develop and implement a transition plan to switch between financial institutions. This would include a number of service agreement changes with banks, the Interac provider, vendor information changes and updates to customer pre-authorized payment agreements. Financial: Brazeau County will enter into a 3-year agreement for banking services with TD Commercial Banking. Should Council direct Administration to go with another financial institution there may be some additional costs associated with developing and implementing the required transition plan. Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision - Banking Service RFP Page 3 of 3 134 BRAZEAU COUNTY REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION Brazeau^V County~ SUBJECT: Updated FIN-8 - County Credit Card Policy DATE TO COUNCIL: August 21, 2018 SUBMITTED BY: Colin Swap, Acting Director of Corporate Services ENDORSED BY: Colin Swap, Acting Director of Corporate Services REVIEWED BY CAO: FILE NO: Report/Document Attached X Available Nil RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council approve the updated FIN-8 County Credit Card Policy. 1. TOPIC DEFINED Executive Summary/Key lssue(s)/Concepts Defined: Due to recent organizational changes, Administration is bringing back the FIN-8 County Credit Card Policy for necessary updates. The policy establishes guidelines for issue and use of Brazeau County corporate credit cards. Administration is recommending a change to how the policy identifies cardholders. Identifying cardholders by position in the policy limits the flexibility if there are changes to position titles or department structure. This results in the policy coming before Council more frequently for clerical changes. The attached draft updated policy instead identifies the department and the credit limit per department, in some instances more than one staff member in a department may be issued a corporate credit card to execute their required tasks. For the sake of the updated policy, those amounts have been put under the department. The overall credit limits remain the same, but may be broken up into more than one credit card depending on the needs of the department. For instance, in Public Works, the Director, as well as the Supervisor of Supplies and Services and Purchasing Agent/Inventory Control each have a corporate credit card to allow them to carry out the requirement of their jobs. Every person issued a Brazeau County credit card is required to sign a cardholder agreement and adhere to the policy and processes in place to ensure the cards are being used as intended. Relevant Policy: N/A Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision - Updated FINS County Credit Card Policy Page 1 of 2 135 Strategic Relevance: To have policies that are up to date and guide current practices. 2. RESPONSE OPTIONS Option Analysis a. Council approves staff - An updated policy will reflect departments instead of recommendation individual positions - The total limit per department may be split between more than one credit card - The updated policy doesn't identify credit limits by position, as the level of credit can vary by the corporate needs of the holder b. Council rejects the request as - Council directs Administration to update FiN-8 submitted County Credit Card Policy based on positions, with the inclusion of the Manager of Planning and Development and changing 'Public Works and Infrastructure' to 'Public Works' - Council directs Administration on changes they would like to see to the policy IMPLICATIONS OF RECOMMENDATIONS Operational: N/A Financial: There is no financial impact to the organization by approving the updated policy. Total credit limits per department remain the same and every employee and elected official issued a corporate credit card is required to sign a cardholder agreement.

The full list of all 504 residents and their responses is available for Council should they want to review them or forward the yes responses to possible businesses who may be interested in supplying this service. YES - 30 votes, Range of acceptable cost $10.00 to $150.00/month: • We are 100% interested in curb side pick up • If every two weeks, two large containers would be the min... • No increase every year unless agreed upon majority of residents • Is this subsidized by the County and would it be different for Seniors??? • This would be a wonderful service for our community. • We live in river ravine, would be happy to pay whatever the price was for collection service. • I must state I find it quite insulting when I look at the taxes I pay every year, the services I actually receive and the amount the Brazeau County has in accumulated surplus which grew by 9 MM$ in the last fiscal year. Why would I consent to pay more? don't you guys have enough already? • We feel we pay enough already considering we don't have many services/infrastructure in place in River Ravine Estates. We don't have sidewalks, proper gutters or even street lights. We don't have recycling pick up either. Garbage pickup could be part of our existing land taxes. • I'd hope for a dual system for garbage disposal and collection of recyclables. • Would want it to be comparable to the Town of DV cost Brazeau County - Report to Council - Garbage Collection Survey Results Page 1 of 3 141 NO -84 votes: This is a stupid idea. Taxes should cover a service like this. We DO NOT support a weekly curb side garbage pickup and would never pay for such a service when it's not necessary. Lodgepole is too small compared to the cost it would be to hire a company to do it. This is ridiculous Waste of money. Transfer Station right down the road. Doesn't want messy can at the curb, this COMES FROM A SINGLE PERSON OVER THE AGE OF 65 NOW AND LIVING ON TIGHT PENSIONS.. I need to control my spending and when I make a trip to town right now on Wednesday or Saturdays I can always take my garbage to the recycle place my self.... Thanks for the offer.... Could spend our taxes dollars on something better like water and sewer NO - would not support paying extra for a garbage pick-up. The transfer stations work great. will bring in more traffic, don't have a lot of waste easy to go to transfer station every couple weeks. I feel the transfer station is a better service, offered twice a week, with no additional fees attached. Our property taxes cover this service, and I am positive our taxes will increase next year. We do not support a weekly curb side garbage pickup in our area. nothing wrong with the way it is There's no reason for this. Transfer Station is close. Transfer Station is close. Strong No vote for garbage curb side collection. We'd be willing to pay $0 as it's a free service and my kids look forward to seeing Jerry on Saturday mornings at rocky rapids facility. Besides there's bears near river valley, curb side pickup not a smart idea. Like to take garbage to Transfer Station rather than wait for service. This could create (attract) bears and other wildlife and cause other problems. 1 feel that is an unnecessary service for this area. The transfer station is sufficient. The dump is only a few minutes away and valued by most as it's open twice a week. Why would we cut that to once with the hope it actually get picked up? You also asked what residents would be willing to pay. I would pay absolutely nothing towards this service as it is, as seen to us, a cash grab. People around here don't have the extra money for this in these hard times. Everyone is struggling as it is. Please do not bring this "service" to Cynthia as it will be Brazeau County — Report to Council — Garbage Collection Survey Results Page 2 of 3 142 more problems on top of what we have already with the unorganized construction of the lines and tearing up the streets. Again this households vote is definitely NO! • Would attract animals and make a mess of garbage laying around • We have lived here and managed our own garbage for the past 22 years, and have never found it to be a problem. Curbside pickup would be of little value to us. • very happy with the services they are offered now • I would support high speed internet however!!!!!! • Terrib!e idea, shouid be included in our taxes if happens • I would like to suggest the County of Brazeau sponsor our county residents in a composting program. County of Parkland has made this available to their residents by selling them a compost bin to utilize their kitchen wastes opposed to disposing in their garbage. • We would not be willing to pay a fee for weekly collection. We either take ours to the transfer station or to our business dumpster that we are already paying for. Thanks for bringing it to a county resident vote! • We cou!d spend the money in many other areas. • I do not want curb side garbage pick-up in Rocky Rapids and I wouid not be wiiling to pay if a service were implemented. My vote is No. 392 residents gave no response.

TOPIC DEFINED Executive Summary/Key lssue{s)/Concepts Defined: Council directed Administration to research options for a new business card design, specifically something with a larger font size and two-sided to allow for the most effective use of space to communicate information. Council also asked for research into a possible braille option. Administration has provided two designs for consideration and a cost analysis. Cost Breakdown Administration contacted three companies for design and print quotations. Print quotes range from .06 to .13 per card for a full-colour, two-sided, coated paper stock card. Brazeau County buys cards in lots of 500 per name and we have an average of maximum 60 staff that require a business card. The option to replace all cards at once is recommended for consistency and professionalism to avoid two card designs in circulation (as outlined in our ADM- 10 Visual Standards policy). Total cost to produce 60 names(Council and staff) with 500 cards each will be $1,740 for a regular card; this amount jumps to $7,601 for a braille card.

The estimated cost of these additional publications is $18,575 to incorporate into the 2019 budget. 1. TOPIC DEFINED Executive Summary/Key lssue(s)/Concepts Defined: At the July 3, 2018, Council meeting. Council passed the following motion: 0372/18-07-03 Moved by A. Heinrich to direct Administration to investigate utilizing the Brazeau Newsletter and Seed publications more frequently and bring a report for review for August 21, 2018. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Brazeau County News Currently, the Brazeau County News (BCN) newsletter is published six times per year, every second month: January/February, March/April, May/June (annual Report), July/August, September/October, and November/December. Each issue is 32 pages, with the exception of the May/June issue, which is 48 pages to accommodate the Annual Report. It is distributed to each household (circulation 4,200) in the County via Canada Post. Each issue contains feature stories on County operations and/or community groups or events, as well as County-produced information on services and upcoming workshops and events. Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision - Brazeau County News and Seed newsletterfrequency Page 1 of 4 167 Approximately six to eight pages of every issue are dedicated to local community non-profit advertising. Staff begin work on each issue shortly after the completion of the previous issue; several days go into researching and writing stories, coordinating photo opportunities, coordinating submissions from County staff and community members to layout/design and to final approvals from department heads and finally the CAO. In 2017,the BCN cost $39,771 to produce and distribute. Administration has investigated the possibility of producing the Brazeau County News monthly, and it is estimated that the increased cost would be an additional $36,600 per year, for an estimated total of $74,371. The compressing of the publication schedule would mean increased time pressures on departments to produce content. Publication of a monthly 32-page newsletter is not recommended, as the shorted timeline will negatively impact the ability to produce content and schedule photo opportunities. It is a concern that the overall quality of the publication will decrease as the frequency increases. Readers may see the newsletter as less valuable if it is produced more often. Administration recommends a new publication, the BCN Express, to be published and distributed in the months between BCN issues. This would be a single-sheet (double-sided) newsletter, offering more timely news than the BCN can provide, on upcoming events. Council Highlights, and other items of interest to residents. This publication will be of importance particularly to those residents who do not have access to, or would prefer not to, access the County website, App, and social media. The estimated cost for production and distribution for six Express issues via Canada Post to each household is $14,550 per year, with a two to three-week turnaround per issue. The Seed The Seed is published three times per year, in the spring, summer,and fall. Each issue is 16 pages and follows the same process as noted above for the BCN. The 2017 cost for production and distribution for 3,500 copies was $20,206. Administration recommends adding a fourth Seed publication to the schedule, creating a quarterly agricultural publication in each season. Winter issue topics could include calving and preparing for the spring season. Because the current Spring issue is published in late May each year, a winter issue would fill a gap in agricultural issues between the late fall and early spring. The cost for this additional issue is estimated at an additional $4,025 per year.

Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision - Brazeau County News and Seed newsletterfrequency Page 3 of4 169 3, IMPLICATIONS OF RECOMMENDATIONS Organizational: Option A represents an increase in content production and workload for staff to produce the express publication that can likely be incorporated into current workloads. If Council chooses option B, a monthly publication schedule for the Brazeau County News will require significantly more staff time, primarily for the Corporate Communications Coordinator, but also for any staff producing content for the publication or those reviewing it. One week per month will be spent in the editing and review process, in addition to story researching, writing, and photography. It is anticipated that website and social media update frequency will be impacted. Financial: Option A: An additional $18,575 will need to be budgeted annually starting in 2019. Option B: An additional $40,625 will need to be budgeted annually starting in 2019.

Included in the submission was a line item for the Omniplex Structure for a total of $50,000. This item was included as the management team was conducting an assessment of the structure for necessary work. This item was not considered for capital funding by Brazeau County at the time as the Town of Drayton Valley could not provide the documentation required by the County. The assessment focused on the roof of the Omniplex structure as well as the roof of the Park Valley Pool. The assessment was completed by Regional Roofing Inspections and the report has been used to obtain quotes from contractors. The Town of Drayton Valley is proposing that all roof repairs be completed this summer. The only item that will be addressed in 2019 is the redesign and restructuring of the Omniplex main entrance roof line. The attached quote (not for public distributionjhas been received in response to the Request for Proposal put out by the Town of Drayton Valley. The following is a breakdown of the anticipated capital cost; Park Valley Pool Roof Improvements(not including GST) $ 15,427.00 Omniplex Roof Improvements(not including GST) $ 36,078.50 Contingency (for all items indicated in quote) $ 15,000.00 $ 66,505.50 The Town of Drayton Valley is therefore requesting an allocation of up to $33,252.75 in capital funding from Brazeau County to cover the necessary costs for the roof improvements to the Omniplex and the Park Valley Pool.

In response to Brazeau County Council's resolution to delay final approval on capital funding for this capital project until such time that the Town of Drayton Valley has received responses from available grant programs. Town Administration has taken the following actions: • two grant applications to corporate grant programs were developed and submitted for funding. The Town has received a negative response on both applications; and • a review of the Alberta Tire Recycling Grant Program was undertaken. This capital project is not eligible for this grant as the product being used to resurface the Splash Park is not recycled tire. The product being used is a rubber FX TM EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) material that is best suited for these purposes. The Town has identified a contractor as per its Tendering Policy. The total cost for the project will be $36,730.00, plus GST.

TOPIC DEFINED Executive Summary/Key lssue(s)/Concepts Defined: The Town of Drayton Valley and Brazeau County formed a joint Committee in 2010 to address the proposed development of a new aquatic facility. The Committee, titled the Aquatic Facility Fund Development Strategy Committee, was tasked with developing a strategy to source the required funds that would be necessary to construct a new aquatic facility. The Committee commissioned the Net Zero Feasibility Study as the integral element to a fundraising campaign. The construction of a Net Zero aquatic facility was identified as the innovation needed to attract corporate sponsorship and obtain provincial and federal grant funding. The Committee has determined that its current mandate has been completed and is proposing a change in both the title of the Committee and its Terms of Reference. The Committee wishes to address other development factors as site location, community engagement, construction delivery process, and final facility design. Joint Administrations presented a Terms of Reference to the Committee at its April 9, 2018, meeting and the Committee passed the following resolution: MOTION BY Councillor Wheeler to recommend the Terms of Reference be presented to Municipal Councils for the approval with the following revisions: Composition of the Committee be revised to state "Up to 2 Community Members-at- Large"; and Article 6 read as "The majority of members of the Committee will constitute a quorum with at least one member represented for each Municipal Council."

Member Backgroimd: A reliable water supply for a sustainable economy is one of the key goals of Water for Life, Alberta's Strategy for Sustainability. The Advisory Committee on Water Use Practices and Policy was formulated in 2003 to examine the use offr esh water for underground injection. The Government of Alberta working in partnership with industry, interest groups and non government organizations developed the Water Conservation and Allocation Policy for oilfield injection, with a goal to reduce or eliminate the allocation of non-saline water for deep well injection. Applications for the use offr esh water for injection continue to be filed with the Energy Resources Conservation Board, and are approved on the basis that there is no economical 184 alternative (saline water or carbon dioxide) that is available or because the diversion of ground water was previously approved through the licensing process. Currently the oil industry holds licenses for up to 32 million cubic meters of ground water diversion. The suggestion that use of non-saline ground water for enhancing oil field production is the most economical means is found on the premise that ground water has no dollar value. Such is not the case for those communities in Alberta that must pipe water to support the residents. With the ever-increasing drought conditions across the prairie provinces, ground water is becoming a scarce resource that must be conserved. Fresh water flooding of oil fields results in the water being lost to the eco system forever. It is imperative that the Government of Alberta establish policies to regulate groxmd water usage for the protection and sustainability of this vital resource. REFERENCE 1.

Government Response: Environment and Water: To minimize the use offr esh water for oilfield injection, industry must adhere to the Water Conservation and Allocation Policy for Oilfield Injection. Since 2006, there has been a significant reduction in the use offr esh water for oilfield injection, particularly in areas with limited water sources. Alberta Environment and Water is always striving to improve our policies and practices in an effort to meet the unique needs and challenges we face here in Alberta. Energy/ERCB: Alberta Energy is committed to the safe and sustained development of Alberta's energy resources. There have been significant reductions in the use offr esh water for oilfield injection since 2006, particularly in areas with limited water supplies. Oil and gas developers are strongly encouraged to use alternatives to fresh water in these areas and new oil development projects are required to demonstrate that all feasible options were evaluated and that only non-saline water resource use will prevent stranding oil resources. Policies on water use for oil and gas injection are being reviewed to ensure fresh water use is minimized by all upstream oil and gas activities including hydraulic fracturing. Development: While both the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development and the Ministry of Energy note policies are either in place or under review to encourage minimal use of fresh water for the extraction of oil and gas reserves, neither indicates that a total cessation is 186 contemplated or feasible. As such, the AAMDC finds this response Unsatisfactory and will continue to advocate on this issue through ministerial meetings.

Begin forwarded message: From: Clayton Stafford Dear Ms. Westerlund, RE: Ongoing Funding for the Eagle Point Blue Rapids Park Council In the near future, it is of my understanding that you, as a councilor for the County of Brazeau, will be making a decision as to providing some ongoing operating funding to the Eagle Point Blue Rapids Parks Council. I am writing this letter to outline a few reason why I believe that this request should receive your support. My rationale basically falls under two major considerations - economics and education. First of all, part of the reason that I have personally put so much energy into being involved with the governance of this park is that I truly believe that this park can do much to diversify our economy which I am sure you would agree could do with a little protection from the boom and bust nature of the oil patch. If you have spent any time exploring the campgrounds and trails of this area, you would know of the amazing beauty and natural wonder of our boreal forest and river systems. Beauty that can bring tourists to our area to do a multitude of year round activities. The summer can offer tourists hiking, road/mountain 188 cycling, a-t-ving, river cruising, fishing and of course, camping. Our area is a superb winter playground as well! I can attest to the fact that since we have hosted a a few Alberta Cup ski races at our Pembina Nordic Ski trails, we have put our 20 km trail system on the Nordic ski map. People from Canmore will come to our trails because they are so exceptionally planned and groomed. We are perfectly situated a mere hour and a half from a major Canadian city full of people who need a nature break and can come to our community with tourist dollars. We need to make sure that our park and its affiliated clubs make this break such that these tourists will want to come back and they will spread the word about our gem of an area! The second major reason why I believe that our park is worthy of your support centres around education. Research is showing more and more that our children need a connection with nature not only for their wellbeing, but also so they can understand the role humans play in the very important goal of being environmental stewards. Reportedly, this particular theme is prominent in the upcoming science and social studies curriculum currently being drafted. Already our park has facilitated award winning outdoor education opportunities for over 2000 Drayton Valley students every year. These education program have been largely elementary school based. With our new outdoor education centre, the EPBR council hopes to expand this outdoor experience to middle and Senior high schools with programing linked closely with industry and research using a citizen science model. Building a relationship with post secondary institutions investigating environmental, forestry and resource extraction topics by providing these institutions with a study and research base will give Drayton Valley’s young people a chance to witness and be involved in real research. I understand that this has not been one of the most lucrative stretch of years for the council to be making a decision about spending taxpayer dollars on something such as a park system, but I hope you can appreciate the economic and educational value the Eagle Point Park system is bringing to our community. Any contributions that the County council can provide to support ongoing operations will enable us to put Drayton Valley on the tourist and educational map of Alberta.

This work reflects our mutual priority of ensuring all Albertans benefit from the efficient delivery of local services and effective co ordination of development, and I am pleased to see the progress already made. The two-year period set out in legislation to accomplish this task is challenging, but I am confident the existing legacy of intermunicipal co-operation has placed us in a position to be successful. I am nevertheless aware of some specific challenges that can be addressed at this time, and gratefully acknowledge the practical solutions that have been proposed during discussions with the municipal associations, the administrative associations, and municipalities. As a result of these discussions, I have signed Ministerial Order No. MSL:047/18 (attached), which makes the following changes: • Exempts parties from the requirement to create an IDP where the entire area along one or both sides of the common boundary between the parties is composed entirely of federal or provincial Crown land. This change recognizes the limited value in the creation of an IDP where development is restricted. • Extends the timeline by one year (to April 1, 2021) for all ICRs and IDPs between municipal districts, special areas, improvement districts, or rural specialized municipalities. This change will allow rural municipalities to focus their efforts on working with their urban neighbours during the initial two-year period. ...12 132 Legislature Building, 10800 - 97 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2B6 Canada Telephone 780-427-3744 Fax 780-422-9550 Printed on recycledpaper 190 Reeve Bart Guyon -2- • Extends the timeline by one year (to April 1, 2021)for all ICFs and IDPs between municipalities that are members of the same growth management board (GMB). This change will allow GMB member municipalities to harmonize their ICFs and IDPs with their growth and service plan, and provide an opportunity to address through an ICF or IDP any matters not addressed in a growth or servicing plan. • Extends the timeline by one year (to April 1, 2021)for all ICFs and IDPs between a municipality that is a member of a GMB, and a municipality that is not a member of the GMB, but is located within the boundaries of the member municipality. This change will allow GMB member municipalities to create their ICFs and IDPs within the context of their growth and servicing plan. In each case, all parties to a framework or plan must agree to apply the exemption or extension by council resolution, and the resolution must be filed with the Minister within 90 days of the date the resolution is passed. In the event other circumstances arise that are beyond your control, I will consider specific requests for an exemption or time extension. However, based on the importance of this work to all Albertans, I encourage you to make every effort to work with your neighbours and to meet the legislated timelines. I trust these changes will provide some practical efficiencies as we work toward improved intermunicipal solutions. Sincerely, Hon.

I appreciate your offer to meet; unfortunately, my schedule prevents me from meeting at this time. DRPs' are established under the authority of the Disaster Recovery Regulation (DRR) and administered under the Alberta Disaster Assistance Guidelines (DAG), which sets out specific criteria that must be met before an application for program assistance can be approved. In order to qualify, an event must satisfy these three criteria; 1. The cause of the disaster was extraordinary and widespread; 2. The disaster must cause damage or loss for which insurance is not readily and reasonably available; and, 3. The disaster has threatened the economic viability of the community. The program is designed to provide financial assistance to individuals and small businesses, including farming operations, for uninsurable loss and damage caused by emergencies and disasters. After careful review of the information provided, our analysis of the event has determined the county's application does not satisfy the criteria required to establish a DRP, along with insurance being readily and reasonably available to cover the damage and subsequent losses that occurred. Therefore, I regret to inform you, Brazeau County's further appeal is denied. ...12 132 Legislature Building, 10800 - 97 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2B6 Canada Telephone 780-427-3744 Fax 780-422-9550 Printed on recycled paper 194 Reeve Bart Guyon -2 While there may be unique circumstances where residents incurred unusual expenses for property repair and cleanup, I recommend individuals continue to work with their insurance providers towards a satisfactory resolution. Individuals may also wish to contact the Insurance Bureau of Canada at 1-844-227-5422 if they have concerns regarding their claims. Alberta Supports is also available for personal financial assistance at 1-877-644-9992, or online at www.alberta.ca/alberta-supports.aspx. Thank you again for writing and for your efforts on behalf of your community during its recovery. Sincerely Hon. Shaye Anderson Minister of Municipal Affairs 195 Bart Zone notes July 16 2018 As budgets start to shrink from province and the feds, it will be critical for Brazeau to creating more economic development that brings a return on investment to our county. Energy Minister thanked rural Alberta for our contributions. 5000 megawatts by 2030. 10 billion in investment creating 7000 jobs. In the alternative energy field. 600 megawatts at 3.7 watts bid. No new transmission needs to be built, the investment is breaking records as for investment. Indigenous 25% investment We should be taking advantage on this opportunity as it can be wind or solar small scale runoff the river hydro etc. Some micro generation changes to help small communities and small farms are being changed. We need to really look what opportunities we can take advantages both for the county and the public. We may need to look at community generation, put a project together ie take a community off the grid or at least not rely on the grid. PACE program still working on it and how can be rolled out. In the excited states over 6 billion has been invested Return on investment Trans Alta pump hydro project Heidi Swan did a great job on energy efficiency investment changes I questioned the TransAlta project and she said talks are still underway and she will keep us updated so that seems positive to me. RCMP Superintendent Peter Tewfik crime reduction for the province 6 to 10 % do 60 to 70% of the crime Public doesn’t report crimes. They know that if you have 20 vehicles broke in on a block only 1 person calls in yet 20 will put it on Facebook. Some funding has been put in into getting more crown prosecutors. Cross sharing intelligent package ie sharing info with fish and wildlife etc. Enhanced technology i.e. auto licence plate readers being put in place to catch people with warrants, stolen vehicles etc. Jim Elginski shared his recommendations on what needs to be done for crime reduction Lobby for addition funding to the RCMP funding Person and property rights and how far they can go to protect their property Stronger sentences for property crimes and especially repeat offenders Crown and judges need to be firmer in their sentences People need to know what else they can do to protect their property 196 More funding for support of rural crime watch initiative federally provincially or municipally Mental health Tax breaks for home security systems Improve justice system and the revolving door system Revive no pursuit policy of the RCMP Need changes to the repeat offender system Improve coordination between law enforcement bylaw fish and wildlife and create a united front Targeted reform to the prison Help victims of crime support Federal non‐legislative changes We presented two resolutions, one on hemp and the other in regards to reducing the impact of demand meters. We were successful on both accounts 197 Ag Service Board Report – 2018 ASB Summer Tour Conference Combined report from Laina, Dawnia and Bart This certainly started as a different board tour. There was quite a focus on the equestrian side of things. There was a tour of a primarily private facility that was state of the art with both indoor and outdoor riding arenas. This couple have invested millions their operation that initially boarded a number of clients but they have moved to mostly their own horses. Some of their horses are valued at upwards of a million dollars. The owners have competed globally. They have an issue with federal rules bringing horses from abroad in that the studs have to have a live mount in order to import, as many of these horses are only used for artificial insemination. Clearly a first class operation and show the diversity of agriculture in Alberta. The equestrian interest is massive in this county. There was a veterinary clinic Delaney that is only one of three in Alberta that is set up for surgery and an operating table designed for horses. I did learn that horses can’t puke. Hence, they have a number of issue with colic. Once again, a first class faculty that has more than just fixing problems. They have training sessions and a first class insemination facility straw worth up to $60,000 a vile. A significant growing trend in the veterinary practice is the lack of vets willing to continue offering services for the large animals. There is a much higher profit margin and better work environment involved with the pets versus the agriculture side. Molenkamp Honey Producers toured the group through their facility. The first bay in their shop is kept at 30 degrees Celsius in order to keep the honey in the hives liquid. In the second bay they have their extraction equipment. The frames from the hives are loaded onto a conveyor where a hot knife cuts the waxy seal off of the combs. From there, the frames are loaded into a machine that spins the honey out. Molenkamps have a contract with Bee Maid, a Canadian honey co-op, so they send the raw honey in barrels directly to the co-op, who does all of the processing and packaging. The bees overwinter in the hives in the field. The hives are wrapped in protective insulation and fed by the beekeepers. Yet another follow-up, the RCMP in Strathcona has horse riding training and competing compliment that uses horses from a herd of 35. The breed they use is called Canadian - quite strong and stubborn is how they were characterized. Right beside the RCMP station is Strathcona’s Station Six. This facility houses their integrated emergency response services. It is a dual program where all of the fire fighters are also paramedics and vice versa. All emergency responders work shifts in both positions. Strathcona County holds the contract with the Province for ambulance services. The majority of their ambulances are equipped with advanced life support and run with crews of three instead of the usual two. This allows their first responders to rarely have to call for back up. They use an annual 198 fire permit which may be something the board or council may consider copying which would give our residents a little more flexibility. We may want to direct staff to get the details how it works. Lamont County had their emergency stock trailer there. They received $30,000 and put in another $10,000 to have this for stray animal capture. This is something we may want to pursue with our Ag Board. We drove by an additional pool Strathcona built. Not sure on the numbers but it has a variable dept ability and they received $29,000,000 in grants and I believe they put in approximately $30,000,000 themselves. This was just a drive by but we could check their numbers out. The Bev Facey School has a horticulture program that was totally funded from the products that they produce. Approximately 1300 poinsettias are sold as well as vegetables and plants. They have the students learn how to care and grow their own foods and help to look after the school grounds complete with green house on the roof (similar to our school). They get no funding from the school so it’s a great way to teach the business model and show primarily urban students the way of agriculture which we were told was deeply appreciated by the students. We toured a private seed cleaning, a seed growers called Galloway Seeds. It is a first class operation with state of the art equipment capable of 900 bushels an hour. With seed sorting based on color, size and shape they took the cleanings from a local seed cleaner and when they ran it through their system it recovered an additional 50% just from the waste. The local Hutterite Colony was amazing to say the least with a fully automated set of robots that milk the cows automatically. The cows are loured through the facility. Each cow bar tag is read and they come in by themselves and the robots automatically wash their udders and attach the milkers to the teats. They were already selling carrots, onions and beets all from a 13,000 acre ranch with 500 head of cattle, 17,000 head of chicken layers (a fully automated egg collection system) and 170 head of dairy cows. What was interesting was that from young to old they all knew what was going on and any age group could tell you what the process was, milk production from cows or any other data truly one big happy family. The common sense family values are all alive and well in this colony. Overall a very different tour but worthwhile just the same. 199 You are invited to join adaptation practitioners from across the Prairies in Edmonton on September 19 and 20 to attend the upcoming 1.5 day workshop, “Taking Action: Adapting to Climate Change on the Prairies.” Hosted by the Prairies Regional Adaptation Collaborative (PRAC), this regional workshop will provide adaptation practitioners with actionable information and ideas for advancing adaptation in their own context, and will share information about ongoing federal initiatives to support adaptation planning on the Prairies.
